Copy existing user password & attricutes to another user

Dear all,
The requirement is to copy the user attributes, especially the existing password to a New User ID. i.e., I want to replace/rename the existing user id with the same password. I tried copying the USR02-BCODE. But it is not working.
Kindly help in this regard.

Aravind

Hi Aravind,
Pls check BAPI_USER_CLONE.
Not quite sure,hope you can play around this in your development system.

How to copy a user account from one Mac to another

If I have a main user (admin) account on one Mac, and want to copy its Home Folder over to another Mac that already has user accounts on it, what is the best way to do it?
For example, if I boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode then connect it to the other Mac, can I just drag and drop from its Users folder into the Users folder on the other Mac? And would that then appear in SysPref/Accounts, complete with names and passwords etc, or is it not that simple?
(Actually, I just checked by launching Migration Assistant, and it seems to indicate I can use it to copy User Accounts from a different Mac - is this all I need? How would I connect the two Macs for this to work?)

Slightly confusing, that article - it talks about using Migration Assistant in Lion or Mountain Lion, but in my case both computers have used Snow Leopard. Does it still apply?
(One other observation - don't you find it confusing the way Apple defines "Target Disk Mode"? It's pretty much always the case that a computer booted in this way becomes the Source computer, while the Target computer is the one it's connected to!!)

Can I create ASP user validated website using existing MD5 passwords from SQL table?

I'm attempting to build a user authenticated site in Dreamweaver CS5 using an existing USERS table from another site. The password field in the existing SQL table appears to be MD5 encoded. How can I MD5 encode the form field (or the SQL query) so that it verifies MD5 to MD5?
Currently, it's comparing the form's plain text field to the MD5 encrypted password field in SQL.
I've built a simple login form using the following:
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="POST" action="<%=MM_LoginAction%>">
    <input name="username" type="text" id="username" accesskey="u" tabindex="1" /><input name="password" type="password" id="password" accesskey="p" tabindex="2" /><input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit" />
    </form>
With the stock Dreamweaver Log In User Server Behavior as follows:
<%
' *** Validate request to log in to this site.
MM_LoginAction = Request.ServerVariables("URL")
If Request.QueryString <> "" Then MM_LoginAction = MM_LoginAction + "?" + Server.HTMLEncode(Request.QueryString)
MM_valUsername = CStr(Request.Form("username"))

Please help!

unfortunately classic asp does not have a built in function for md5. what we used for our legacy sites is a javascript that hashes a string to MD5. here's the code we've used in the past http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/md5.html
your asp should have something like this...
<script language="jscript" src="path_to_js_file/md5.js" runat="server"></script>
<%
'hash the password
Dim md5password       ' md5password variable will hold the hashed text from form variable txtPassword
md5password = hex_md5(""&Request("txtPassword")&"")
' based on the code you posted...
MM_rsUser_cmd.Parameters.Append MM_rsUser_cmd.CreateParameter("param2", 200, 1, 32, md5password) ' adVarChar

Weblogic admin user password change w/o disrupting existing users

Hi Folks,
As a business policy we need to change the password of the admin user in weblogic after a cycle of specific period.
Please let us now how can we do that without losing the other existing users in 'my realm.'
I understand that we can use the weblogic.utils.security.AdminAcoount utility to give the new password, which will create a new DefaultAuthenticatorInit.ldift file in +<domain-home>/security+ folder (according to Doc ID 1082299.1).
The password will change but the users in 'my realm' will be lost. (there are many users and it is a production environment so recreation is out-of- question)
Is there a way we can retain the users and still proceed with the password change?
Cheers,
Jeegar

Hi Jeegar,
This can be doen by followin the standard procedure by login to console and navigate to :-
DOMAIN_STRUCTURE--->Security Realm--->myrealm--->Users and Groups---->User tab click on the user weblogic
--click on the password tab and put the new password there and save (password is changed for the user here)
---Logout from the console and login to the console again using the new password
But when the server starts it do not read the password for the user directly from the realm rather it picked the same from the $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties
Now in order to make this change available when the server starts change the values for the username and password in boot.properties and specify them in plain-text and save the same.
Now next time whenever the server will start it will pick up the new values from the boot.properties and once the same had been accepted those will be encrypted again.
You might have to make the change for the boot.properties for all the Managed Server if you have the Managed Servers in the domain which will be located at the location $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/<<Managed Server Name>>/data/nodemanager/boot.properties
You can test the steps on some lower environment first and try the same in Critical environment once the testing goes successful.

Vijay

How do I change an existing user account to another user name?

I am trying to change the username on an existing Thunderbird email account to another user name. I have the name changed and can send email out from it. However, you cannot treply back to the email, you get an error message saying that the address does not exist. Nor can you receive an email sent directly to the account with the changed name.
Thank you,
Judy Pfeffer

Is the new username an established email account with an email provider? If not, that is your problem. You cannot just make up a username and expect to receive email with it.
I would not suggest changing usernames due to a new email account. I would set up a new account in Thunderbird for the new email account.

Changing passwords for 800 + existing users.

Hi, Hope people reading this list can help with this.
Start of a new school year here and our local education office has generated new passwords for our existing students. I use Passenger to import new users and their passwords onto the server from the supplied spreadsheet. Can I also use Passenger (or some method within workgroup manager) to import just the new passwords for the existing users? I would prefer not to have to delete the users and then re-import them from new files.
Thanks
Anthony O'Brien

Hi,
If you are using Passenger to import new users, I presume you are using an LDAP connection to interface with OD. In which case you could just construct a script to do a batch import of the password field. If you are using Rails or Ruby this could be done with a Rake task or independently.
On the OD side you can import passwords into OD in clear text but it has to be done following the formatting rules provided in the CommandLine_Adminv10.5 document p. 123.

Is it possible to copy a user fm one client to another

Hi'
Is it possible to copy a user from one client to another client?
e.g., in our DEV we have two client say 500 & 201.A user say dev_user is present in client 500 with some authorization.Now i want the same user dev_user with same authorization in client 201.
note:-
*according to my knowledge user is a client dependent.
*plz avoide hint like
1)create a new user in 201 with the same user name with the help of su01
2)client copy.

Hi,
I am not sure of replication a single use, but u can move all users by CLIENT Export. That means , u will be creating a transport request which will contain all User master records using SCC8. here select the USER profile SAP_USER.
Hope this helps
Cheers !!

Invalid Existing Users email user name or password

In trying to setup a second email account and I am prompted for the user name and password of the Existing Users email account. I assume that this information is the same as that needed to access my regular email account, such as through Outlook. However, I get an invalid user name or password response when I attempt to log in. Is the BlackBerry system asking for different information than what I am providing?
Solved!

How to delete existing user and create the account

Hi All,
How to delete the existing user and does not loose the shopping cart link, confirmations for etc and then create back the account for the user?
Please tell me the steps.
Thank you.
Regards,
Henry

How to delete the existing user and does not loose the shopping cart link, confirmations for etc and then create back the account for the user?
I believe you can not delete the user 100% fully since all documents must be closed before.since it had a relation in crmd_partner table. However it has links with business objects..
Copied from forum threads.. for your reference..
Note 1148837 - SRM user cannot be deleted
in consulting note 550071
Q8. What happens if I delete the user who has created the shopping cart
A8. If the user is deleted, and the shoping cart exists in the application, then the shooping cart cannot be displayed. If you want to view/ process those shopping carts, then you have to create a dummy user and retrieve the document. In CRMD_PARTNER table, the old user GUID should be replaced with the new user GUID.
User deleted from SRM, deletion of SC not possible
if you have a central recipient cancel them with that role or as advised by akash cancel from r/3.
discussions are welcome..

Install new OS, but use existing User folders

I'm going to buy a SSD for my Mac Pro. I would like to install a fresh OS on that drive, but use the existing User folders on my HD.
I assume there's an easy way to do this, but I *suspect* that the install will make default User folders and accounts?
Any advice?

If you are the only user of your system you may be able to do this fairly easily. If there is more than one account it still may be be possible but there's a potential "gotcha".
If you intend to keep your home dir on a separate drive from your boot ssd, depending on how many of your own apps and data you intend to put on the ssd for faster access you really only need a 60GB to 120GB ssd. Assume the OS itself will need up to about 25GB of that ssd.
Assuming your are the only user then install the new OS on the ssd and create an account with the same account name of the one you had for the original system. Once that is up and running you can use the standard procedures to move an account to another drive. In other words use the Account system preferences to modify the account (account's Advanced Options) home dir info to point to your old home dir on the other drive. In this case you don't have any current home dir to actually move since you intend to use your old one on your other drive. Now reboot. Hopefully your reboot will come up using your old home dir.
The "gotcha" here is the userid. If you are the only user it should remain 501. So doing what I suggest above hopefully will work -- "hopefully" in that it has to be assumed your old account also had userid 501. With more than one account, if your old account wasn't 501 then I think you are in for ownership problems.
If you try this don't even attempt this without full backups of your original home disk(s). Best you create a bootable backup of your newly created ssd too so you don't have to reinstall and you can revert it from the backup if something goes wrong. Doing it this way doesn't write to new ssd cells if you don't have to (I am always concerend about this with ssd's even with possible TRIM or garbage collection).

Existing User to be added as an admin to local spicework portal on company LAN

Please assist. I am part of the IT team at my firm. We are using Spicework as a help desk.
My colleague launched an offline Spicework portal from his computer and he has invited us to his local site so we can help engage the tickets.
He has us already listed as users in his local Spicework site
And we all each have an account with Spicework already and a community password
My question is, can we have detailed steps on how to add an existing user to our colleagues local site?
thank you
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

so i set up this bit of a lab network in packet tracer. (will set up a more complex lab once this little bit is working right). See imageI've got the following172.16.1.0/24 on the left172.16.2.0/24 on the right172.16.4.0/24 serial link between the two routersThe host PC's can ping each other, across the "pond". they can also ping the router interfaces. the routers can ping each other and the hosts. the only goofy thing is, i can't ping the switches on the opposite side from the router or hosts. I can ping the switch from within it's own subnet but not from afar.the switches also can't ping the serial port IP's of the router on it's own side. (example, switch on the left can ping 172.16.1.1 but not 172.16.4.1I've set up static routes on both routers, and what I believe to be the proper default gateway routes on both switches.

Booting from firewire drive does not recognize existing users.

Hello,
I just bought a Lacie firewire drive to have a bootable backup of my Macbook internal drive.
I used SilverKeeper 1.1.4, that comes with the drive, to make a bootable copy.
The copy is bootable but when Tiger startus up fro the firewire drive I get the presentation video and am asked to setup the system including creating a new user.
It is as if the existing Users directory, that was copied, is not recognized by the clonned system.
Running Tiger 10.4.11
Any ideas?

I think this was driver issue

Firefox downloads but then will not unpack without administrator status on home computer nor as existing user

I uninstalled "Firefox" having used it for years, after accidentally adding a taskbar I did not want.
On attempting to re-load the "Firefox" downloads straightforwardly but then comes up with an unfamiliar screen.
This says that I may not have the permissions to access all of "Firefox" features so to take a choice of;
(a) Running opening of Firefox as existing user,
or
(b) Running Opening "Firefox" as an Administrator asking for a password.
Neither choice starts the unpacking of downloaded software, the computer just goes quiet.
This is my home computer and I have never been asked this before, and have no special restrictions.
Any suggestions? I have downloaded "Firefox" via Google Chrome and Internet Explorer with same results.
Thank you.

And I still have a bricked iPhone 4
