Batch command to auto login

We are using Sony MBPS and it has to be rebooted every month.  We have automated much of it using batch files but we would like to further automate it.  Is there a batch command to trigger an automatic login of the servers?

Automatic logon can be configured through registry:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315231/en-us
The article mentions Windows XP, but it is valid for all later versions of Windows. This is how we do it. We deploy the registry keys through group policy to the machines that need automatic login.

  • Enable auto login via command line

    Hi,
    I have an old Mac Mini (G4) running Leopard. My problem is that I cannot log in using Back to my Mac ( Screen Sharing ). I get as far as to the login window, but after login, the machine goes down ( crash completely ). I do not have the same problem with Intel-based Macs. I temporary solved this by activating automatic login. But after an upgrade of Leopard, the problem dissapaired - but after the last upgrade to 10.5.3 the problem is back - as the machine is in an other part of the country, and has no screen or keyboard - I was wondering if anyone can show me how to activate automatic login via the terminal, I have full access via SSH.

    In order for the "defaults write..." method to work, you will need an encrypted version of the user's password stored in /private/etc/kcpassword.
    This is automatically generated when Auto Login is set up via the standard Control Panel. If you don't have physical access, it could be copied from another machine to which you do have physical access and where the auto-logged-in user has the same password. Or it could be copied from any machine that already has the file and it contains the correct password.
    Alternately, there's some discussion of the encryption scheme used for kcpassword and theoretically, you could create the file from scratch. Check out: http://www.brock-family.org/gavin/perl/kcpassword.html

  • How to hide user id and password for auto login in Analyzer 6.5?

    Could anyone tell me is it possible to hide the user id and password for auto login in Analyzer version 6.5 and how?Thanks in advance...

    Sainath,
    Referring admin guide as mentioned by Craig is good option.
    Let me give you few steps that I did in one of my projects.
    Open command prompt and navigate to the path "C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\DataRelationshipManagement\client\batch-client".. here you can see many see other utilities as well.
    drm-batch-client-credentials.exe is the one used to encrypt the userid and password.
    open this in command prompt and then choose the application to which you want to encrypt the password.
    then remove userid and password from batch script then run it... it does what you want

  • Auto login cwallet requires password

    I created a cwallet with orapki and auto_login using putty. OHS startall fails with error
    Cannot open an encrypted wallet file (wallet location) while process is managed by OPMN. Enable it as SSO wallet
    On reading up furthur, I found that Enable it as SSO wallet means that the wallet requires a password. I had checked the auto login checkbox when the cwallet was created using OWM.
    To confirm that password was the issue, I tried opening the cwallet using the command
    orapki wallet display -wallet wallet_location
    The command did request for password.
    Even though i had checked the auto login option why has the display of the cwallet requested for password.
    (FYI - cwallet was created from ewalllet.p12, ewallet opens fine with the oraclepki command after i provide the ewallet password. Hence there are no issues with my ewallet.p12 file)
    Can this issue be environment related.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    User i had used to access OWM, to save the wallet, to get the cwallet is the same user who has access to all the folders in the installation.
    After closing the wallet manager i immediately try opening the generated cwallet file with orapki display command with the same user id, yet it requests for password.

  • Auto login problem

    On startup with auto login enabled my user account seems to be somewhat crippled i.e ClearDock not enabled, Xsounds not enabled, no automatic access to my wireless router. If I log out and then log back in everything is fine or if I turn auto login off in Accounts everything is OK. This problem just started recently. Hope someone can help with this one.

  • How can I turn off the auto login on Netbook running Ubuntu OS

    During the initialisation of the machine AUTO LOGIN was already highlighted.
    Unfortunately I only noticed it as I hit the next key.
    How do I turn off the auto login?
    I think I change the /etc/gdm/gdm.conf , but would like confirmation as this is a slightly different version of Linux.

    Decided to give the full Ubuntu system answer to this and it works just fine.
    In a terminal issue the command: sudo /usr/sbin/gdmsetup
    This will bring up the gdm gui and there you can turn off auto login, and the timed login.

  • Disable auto login from terminal in 10.6

    Hi everyone,
    What is the command to disable automatic login from the command line in 10.6? I cannot simply delete the com.apple.loginwindow.plist file as I have other settings I need to keep.
    TIA!
    Andrew

    Hi,
    you can use the defaults system to edit this preferences file. The autologin option is stored in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow in a key named autoLoginUser followed by the user name who is configured for an auto login. To disable this option you can simply delete the autoLoginUser key by using the following command:
    defaults delete /library/preferences/com.apple.loginwindow autoLoginUser
    You can check the content of a preferences file by using the defaults read command:
    -----------------------snip--------------------------
    defaults read /library/preferences/com.apple.loginwindow
    OptimizerLastRunForBuild = 21186464;
    OptimizerLastRunForSystem = 168166144;
    lastUser = loggedIn;
    lastUserName = pronto;
    ----------------------snip----------------------------

  • Auto-Login Network User

    I am wondering if there is any way to auto-login as a network user?

    Quit System Preferences.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the System Preferences and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

  • IMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

    iMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

    Is sounds like it might for some reason booting into Safe Mode, which does prompt for a password.
    Try a PRAM reset:
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    If that doesn't help, restart holding down the option key which should take you to the startup manager. Select Macintosh HD (you may need to use the arrows on the keyboard if the kb is Bluetooth), tap 'enter'. Does it boot normally now?

  • Deploy an auto-login user on 10.9.5

    I am trying to create an auto-login user on our network of 10.9.5 machines, but the com.apple.loginwindow.plist reverts itself after any change I make (I have tried changing it in terminal and editing it manually). I understand that starting with Mavericks that plist files are now cached, and I believe that this has something to do with it. Has anyone been able to implement auto-login network wide on 10.9.5?

    Quit System Preferences.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’.

  • 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.
    Add the line below, to */etc/inittab* file.

    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.
