Auto Login to Wiki

We are having issues wth the auto login to the OSX Server wiki. It seems to work overnight sometimes, when the browser is closed, then occasionally it will log you out within half an hour of closing the browser. Can anyone enlighten me on how this could be controlled?

Cheers Linc
I have sort of got round it by using a link shortening service, not ideal but works for now

Auto Login (Console, No Manager) [SOLVED]

I'm a noob to archlinux and the forums here, but hopefully I can become part of it!
I'm looking for a way to autologin to the console on boot, as I'll be running this computer as an SSH server for secure connections from anywhere in the world, and if I reboot it I really need it to login as root automatically. No login managers, just the lovely black console, that's what I need to auto-login. If that isn't possible... It would be a shame, but I couldn't find anything about just the console in the wiki or forums, only auto-logins for window managers and the like.
Also, if there's a way to start the SSHd after my wpa_supplicant has run on boot, I'd like your help with that too! To be specific: I figured out how to run wpa_supplicant on boot, but SSHd doesn't start automatically (I assume because when it does there's not yet a network connection), so how can I make it wait (say... 30 seconds) before starting itself, to be sure my Wifi will have authenticated by then (WPA)?
Help is much appreciated!
Ian
You're right, it works fine either way! Thanks for your help, I just though that maybe it'd need to be locally logged in to operate the SSHd, but that is false.

It's a server, and I'd like it to auto-login after I reboot it from afar.
That's all. Security doesn't matter, as no one will have physical access to the logged in machine, that's why I disregard the security concerns of auto-login for local root.

Auto login in Solaris 10

Hi all
I'm trying to establish auto login in Solaris 10, as a regular user or root. This is a personal testing machine, so security is not an issue.
I want to automatically login preferably in the shell mode, ( no GUI if it's possible ), otherwise I can login with GUI, no biggie.
From what I've found, it does not seem an easy job, given that my Solaris experience is somewhat limited, ( been working more on Linux ).
If I can get that going, I'd prefer to run a few scripts upon login, which I think I can do it.
So what steps must I go through to have auto login upon boot ? How hard is it ?
Appreciate any comments. Thanks
PS. Reposted, because I submitted my query in the wrong forum.

What do you mean by auto login?
Do you want to implement Integrated windows authentication in OIM Design console. If yes, then I don't think it's possible.

View Planner 3.5 Auto Login

I am having an issue where I have the GoldenDesktop Setup. It logs in without issue. This VM was created with the same customization file as the next set.   Once I use the View Planner to provision the remaining VMs, each have their local admin account disabled.   They do report to the View Planner. They do start the workload. However, only the original VM uploads the data. Any ideas?

Yes, agree.   The auto login was working after the view agent was loaded. However, once the customization wizard ran, I noticed a few changes. The admin was disabled and the registry entries were missing under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\winlogin. The keys needed to login were AutoAdminLogon = "1" (Enabled), DefaultUserName = Administrator DefaultPassword = Q1w2e3r4! .   This was present before the customization wizard. So, I looked at the customization wizard closer. On the 4th step for "Administrator Password" you need to set the password toe Q1w2e3r4!. Furthermore, place a check mark for "Automatically log on as the Administrator". I also set this value to 10.   After doing this, the login portion worked.
The second issue I had was the .bat file behavior.   It needed to be set to "open this file each time". Since there were only 50 desktops, I check the box on each and pressed open. I'm sure there is a setting to fix this. However, I haven't researched it enough to comment just yet.

Auto logins on websites no longer working

I recently (a couple days ago) got a pop-up on the lower part of my screen that said that firefox was going kind of slowly or something along those lines and said if I would like to fix this that I could click this button. Well I did that and it took me to a page that talked about resetting firefox to its default settings but that all info pretty much would be kept correct like my passwords, bookmarks, addons, and other things like that. Well I said what the heck and tried it and when it was finally done doing what ever it was doing I get back online with none of my opening tabs aloud to be there so that was wiped out, my book marks were there so that was good, but all of my addons like X-notifier and things like that were now gone, and when I go to pages now it has no idea who I am. My user names don't show up or the passwords. I can login to them and it might be fine for 5-10 minutes but then all of a sudden it tells me that I need to login all over again. Even my X-notifier does it and its supposed to know my login permanently so I never have to type it in. But I can be in the middle of sorting my emails and trying to delete something get a message that says I am no longer signed in to my email account.
I have searched all over in the tools>options area and made sure everything is the same as it used to be with saving passwords and even scrolled through my stuff saved to see if something had gotten deleted but they are all there and I see no reason why it would not log me in to the ANY site. I know some of the sites out there don't like to allow auto login stuff which I am fine with but some of these websites I am the owner of and I know for a fact that its not my site doing it. The repeated login issue is really getting on my nerves cause its started to disturb my daily working. Please help me with figuring this out.
Thanks
Troy

I am going to try the stuff mentioned by you above and see if it helps. I know its affecting this site as well and isn't keeping logged in at all as I have had to re-type my password each time I come here.

Problems joining Wi-Fi networks that require viewing a redirect page in iOS 8.1.1? Check your "Auto-Login" setting.

Are you having problems joining previously used Wi-Fi networks that require you to view a login or redirect page (say to accept Terms of Use) first? The problem could be your Auto-Login Wi-Fi network setting.
I found numerous cases where I could not access in-store Wi-Fi networks (Nordstrom was one), hotel networks or in fact networks where you had to first view a Terms and Conditions page or where you had to login via a web form.
These were all networks I had used before.
This appears to be due to the "Auto-Login" setting assuming that once you (re)join a previously known network you can just go ahead and use it without further action. When the iOS device receives an error trying to use the network, it silently drops the Wi-Fi association.
If this is happening to you, follow these steps:
1) Go to Settings -> Wi-Fi
2) Select the network you want to join
3) When a check-mark appears next to the SSID, press the "i" button on the right hand side
4) Set Auto-Join however you want, but shut off the Auto-Login switch
5) Now attempt to use the network and you should be presented with the usual redirect page with terms you must accept or where you must login to use the Wi-Fi network in question
This cleared up the issue for me everywhere I had previously been having issues.

Just let me get one thing straight...you don't change don't do this for the PC you have your router plugged in to?
"For Vista:
1. Open Control Panel, Network and Internet, Network and Sharing Center, Manage Network Connections
2. If Wireless, Right click on your Wireless Network Connection, otherwise, Right click on Local Area Connection and click Properties
3. Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4)
4. Click Properties
5. Tick Use the Following IP Address and enter the IP you want to use for that PC. I would start at 192.168.0.100(D-Link) and work your way up on each additional device. The second device would be 192.168.0.101, the 3rd, 192.168.0.102 and so on. Like I said, different brands of routers use different IP's, so it could be 192.168.1.100 and so on, so you will need to know the IP address of your router first.
6. Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 on all pc's and devices
7. Default Gateway is 192.168.0.1(D-Link) or whatever your router's IP is on all pc's and devices
8. Tick Use the Following DNS Server Address and enter 192.168.0.1(D-Link) or whatever your router's IP is and click OK.
9. You will need to do this on all Vista Pc's"

Auto login in AUR with Firefox.

Is there a way to auto login into AUR with Firefox. Now when I get there, the username and password is filled in. But I would like to be logged in. I think Opera does it.
Possible?

It should work, I've updated my FF last week and had no problem so far. Actually I'm using FireFox 2.0.0.8 to post this message. I have noscript extension as well.
All you need to do is enable cookies for forms.oracle.com/ and set it as whitelisted if you have any security extensions.

ZFS has not yet been integrated into Solaris 10...
At this time you need either the "Software Express for Solaris 2/06"
( http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/solaris-express/ ) or the
"Solaris Express: Community Release"
( http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/on/ ) to play with ZFS.

Auto login and password problems with Safari after OS 7.0.4 update?

Hi all,
I updated my IPad 4 to OS 7.0.4 , now Safari won't auto login to my favorite forums and won't remember my user names or pass words. I checked in Safari settings and Names/passwords and auto fill are on. Have restarted a number of times but no change. Any fixes?
Thanks.

Make sure Private Browsing is off.
Tap "Private" on Safari Screen to disable Private Browsing. When top of screen is white, Private Browsing is off.

Safari Auto-login/ Auto-fill problem

Hi!
I recently updated my safari after which I have been unable to auto login to my yahoo,gmail etc accounts. I have checked my safari preferences and all 3 auto-fill webform tabs are clicked. Also, when I go into yahoo, it does not prompt me to ask if i want to save my password. For my other accounts e.g gmail, they prompt me and my password + user-ids are still saved, just that i have to press the sign in button.
Also, it stays signed it as long as i am on safari. However, if I were to quit safari and use safari again, it goes back to square one and no longer keeps me signed it.
What can I do to enable safari to auto-login for all my accounts?
Thanks!

I have asked a similar question several times before, and I have the answers varied from the typical I do not have that problem to its a security feature incorporated in Safari.
I tend to think it is a new feature added ito safari n the last several months (via an update).
The bottom line is I am NO longer able to stay logged into various websites if I quit safari, even though the websites have the feature available that should allow a user to stay logged in for 2 weeks.
The only way I can now stay logged in for an extended period of time is to NEVER quit Safari.
That is not an option for me.

Background auto-login at boot

I have a G5 running Leopard that I'm using as a print server. I would like to set it up to automatically login into a certain account when it boots up—to start up my printer RIP—but I'd like to hide that boot process from any users who happen to be around at the time. Assuming I have fast user switching enabled, is there a way to script a login as a background boot process?

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Here's what I think you mean:
-you want your computer to auto-login to a certain account on boot--see Sys Prefs -> Accounts -> Login Options
-you want to start a process at boot -- try using Lingon (http://sourceforge.net/projects/lingon/files/)
-you want to hide the existence of the process you started from anyone who might be poking around in Activity Monitor/top/ps -- 1) you can't; 2) why would you want to?
-you want to be able to use fast user switching and still have your process running -- set up your job in Lingon as a "System Daemon"
Is that what you mean? Please ask if you meant something else.
