Creating a custom cache location for multiple users

If I use the browser.cache.disk.parent_directory method (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.disk.parent_directory) to set up a specific folder for the cache:
Are there advantages to specifying a different (sub)folder for each of the users on my computer, or will Firefox handle things automatically just as well?

Note that only one user can use a specific profile at the time, so if there is any chance that two or more users are active at the same time then you need separate profile folders and separate cache folders for each user.
Note that you can also set prefs via a mozilla.cfg auto configuration file.<br />
Such a configuration file can contain JavaScript, so you can detect the user profile (ProfD) and environment variables.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

  • HELP - Change cache location for ALL users.

    I am in desperate mode here, so I appreciate any help...
    I just installed 1.4.2_08 on my Citrix environment. I have a GPO that only allows 30mb of data to be saved in their profile and this is the max that I can make it. The problem is that the website created that uses this version of JRE creates a an 11mb file twice in the users profile. This blows up their session and they are no longer allowed to log off until I go in and clear it off. I've only had about 10 users that I have had to do this too, but I can see it's going to get a lot higher. Basically I want to change the cache location for all users, not just my profile, and redirect it to the users 'My Documents' folder. This way my GPO that then redirects the users 'My Documents' folder can have this folder on their home drive.
    Please, help! Thanks a bunch!!

    I had the same problem, but fixed it with this solution:
    I added [deployment.user.cachedir=c\:\\temp\\cache] to the deployment.properties file.
    (located at C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment)
    Then i deleted the cache directory.
    Now i am making my one Transform file for the deployment of java 1.6.0_05.
    Does anyone knows how i can change the cache files etc in my transform file.
    Thanks a lot!!

  • How can I create a folders of apps for multiple users?

    I use several iPads with my students and would like to set up a folder for each student. I want to place "an alias" of each app the student uses in their folder. On my Mac, I can "make alias" and place aliases in seperate folders. How can I do that on my iPad? Thanks!

    You can drag one app on top of another and make a folder. However the limit to this is, for your situation, there can be no sharing of apps....the app Fred can only be in one folder because it's only on the device once.  (so it may not work for what you need)
    and I cannot recall if you can edit the name of the folder.
    Unfortunately, for situations like yours, the iPad was created to be a single user device, so there's really not support for multiple users or multiple levels of access.

  • GRC 10: Initial password for multiple users creation in a ARQ request???

    Hi All,
    I was trying to create a request in ARQ for multiple users. I noticed that, I could add all the necessary required information for multiple users using the template. I added the roles as well. However, I could not set the initial password for multiple users as the tab "User System Details" (where the initial password is provided for a single user) is disabled!!!
    The users were successfully created in the R/3 system. However, due to non-availability of initial password, these users could not log into the R/3 system.
    May I know how to set the initial password for multiple users?

    Vit,
    I was trying to test this multiple user creation scenario. But I am surprise to get a template where in I have only below mentioned fields:
    1. User Name
    2. User Id
    3. Email
    I filled these details and uploaded. Then filled the "User Access" details. While submitting the request, I got the error:
    "Last name is not mentioned for user id XXX"
    But there is not such column in provided template by GRC!
    I added 2 columns: First Name and Last Name and saved it and uploaded again. These details are not picked up!
    Following are the only columns shown:
    1. User Name
    2. User Id
    3. Email
    4. Manager
    Out of above, only "Manager" field is editable and others are disabled.
    Last time I remember, I has got complete template with all the columns. Unfortunately, I have deleted it and not available with me now.
    Any idea you have why am I getting such incomplete template?

  • Can we creat an Apple ID for multiple users?

    I work for a company where we are rolling out iPads in big amounts. The problem is that they all need an Apple ID in the training they get about the iPad they receive because they have to install MobiControl on it.
    It's no problem to let them create an Apple ID at home, but they have to fill in credit card numbers once they connect at work when they try to install apps. That's the problem... Not everyone want's or has credit cards...
    Maybe it's possible to create an Apple ID for multiple users???
    Thanks!

    You may find a better answer in this part of the forum, since it's meant for situations like you're in.
    http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
    is also info about apple ID's.
    You can make apple ID's without a credit card, you just have to jump through a couple of hoops to do it since the default is that people will always give a credit card. The key to making an ID without a credit card is that you try to download a free app first, then follow the 'make an ID' prompt. That will get you the 'none' option for payment.

  • WebStart Single Install for multiple users

    Has anyone figured out how to solve the problem of having to install the software for multiple users now?
    With recent versions of the Sun WebStart, the cache directory has changed to the user's personal directory.
    It used to be that the cache directory was a common shared directory off the C: drive.
    For the software we have developed, it was great to install once as the admin, download the files so that they are cached, and then copy the links to the all users desktop which pointed at that shared location.
    Now there appears to be no way to do this. We've looked to find the default cache location to change it, but there is no way to specify this (that we've found).
    I know I can change each user's cache directory to point to a common location, but it means signing on as each user and making this change manually which takes a considerable more time than it did before. Java WebStart was the EASY way to install the software before (and did not require a browser). Now it is harder than just using a browser with the plugin. We'd like to get the browser out of the picture though still.
    I can see how this feature could benifit individual users who only want their own programs to show up , but we really need to make it work like before for ease of use. With the number of users we are dealing with, it would be very difficult to tell them to click on a link to install the program but only do that the first time, then start using the new link that is created by the program.
    Any suggestions from anyone?

    Sorry, I just realized this is in the wrong forum.
    I'll go post it in a more correct forum instead.

  • Change Reference Attribute - "Manager" for multiple users

    Hi,
    I have a scenario in which I have to create a workflow to change a reference value attribute - "Manager" for multiple users in one go. Is it possible to achieve this with workflow. If yes, then how?
    Regards,
    Manuj Khurana

    Hello,
    not out of the box, since in workflows and custom activities you can only access the reqestor and target object direcly.
    But you can develop your own custom activity that fits you need, or do it with powershell custom activity.
    I did a very similar thing, to be able to change users group membership from the user UI, so I have also edit objects other then requestor and target in a workflow.
    Since both (manager and member) are reference attributes you maybe find this article helpful:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/19615.fim-2010-r2-how-to-manage-group-membership-from-the-user-ui.aspx
    I used this powershell activity in my solution:

  • Sharing custom display profiles between multiple users

    Hello,
    I'm brand new to Mountain Lion and I can't figure out how to share a custom display profile between multiple users on the same MBP. I'm a photographer and I have two users set up on my laptop - one personal and one for shooting. I'm using a Color Munki to calibrate my external monitor and the software creates a profile.
    Previously, I could go into my library, copy the profile and drag it into the colorsync folder for my other user, then switch to my other user and find that profile in system preferences/displays.
    I have no idea how to do this in Mountain Lion.

    Let me simplify this by refering to User A and User B to represent the two separate users I've created on my MBP.
    I've done some more digging and here's what I've found: In the Color Sync utility for User A my custom profile is in a user folder, represented by the name I gave the file when the profile was created. That's no problem
    When I switch to the User B, there are two profiles in the Color Sync Utility named "Display". The "Display" file was created at the same time my custom profile was created, however, the file names don't match and I don't know why there are two of them.
    I'm fairly certain that "Display" profile is the custom profile I want to use, but there's a problem coming down the road: what's going to happen when I profile my monitor again in 3 weeks.

  • I am trying to open iTunes on my Windows 7 PC and am getting the following message...the itunes library can not be found or created.  The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder.  Any ideas?

    I am trying to open iTunes on my Windows 7 PC and am getting the following message...the itunes library can not be found or created.  The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder.  Any ideas?

    Let's try this first. Hold down the Shift key while you try to launch iTunes. You should eventually see the following dialog:
    Click "Choose library". Browse to inside the following location (depending on what operating system you're running):
    Operating System
    Default location of iTunes library
    Microsoft Windows XP
    \Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Microsoft Windows Vista
    \Users\[your username]\Music\iTunes\
    Microsoft Windows 7
    \Users\[your username]\My Music\iTunes\
    ... and open the iTunes library you find in there.

  • Triggering a sub work flow for multiple users at same time.

    I have a scenario in which I have created sub workflow as an activity for approval process. This sub work flow should be triggered for multiple users at the same time and their decison is independent of each other.
    This is like creating multipe instance of the same sub work flow and then the sub work flow runs indepedently as a new work flow for each of the approver and the process is completeded for approver independently.
    How can this be achieved?

    Tyr to do like this,
    1. First include the subworkflow in the main workflow template.
    2. Now include standard Block Step in the main workflow template.
    3. In the block select the block type as ParForEach.
    4. Before doing the 3rd point make sure that all the agents for whom you want whom you want to initiate the workflow, populate them in a Multiline conatiner element.
    5. Once completing 3rd and 4th points open the block step under the tab ParallelProcessing  assign the multiline container element name in the   for e;g if the multi line container element name is COSTCENTER then do the binding like below. the conatiner element COSTCENTERLINE is created by default once you include the multi line conatiner element under parller processing tab.
    &COSTCENTER[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]&   -------->     &_COSTCENTER_LINE&
    Now assign the agent of the subworkflow as COSTCENTERLINE , imean if suppose you have 3 entries in the internal table then three separate and for three different agents the workflow is instantiated.

  • App updates for multiple users on same Mac with maverick

    Background.  I have a single iMac that I have been using since ~2007. It's a family computer and there are three(3) accounts/users on it.  I am the administrator for them.  The operating system has been kept up with each OS upgrade since its purchase.  We are currently using Maverick.
    Problem - In the past with all the other operating systems (pre-Maverick), when a application needed to be upgraded I could log into my account (administrator rights) and perform the necessary upgrade and it would propgate to ALL the users on this computer.  However, since upgrading to Maverick I can no longer just upgrade on the administrators account (i.e. mine) and it propogate to the other users.  I now have to log into each individual account (i.e my wifes and sons) and perform the upgrades to their account.
    Question - Does anyone know if there is a way to allow the administrator to perform the single upgrade that propogates to others users in OS Maverick without having to log into each individual accounts and updating each account separately.  Also does anyone know why OS Maverick no longer supports the capability like ALL previous OS's have in the past? 
    Thanks

    Ok thanks.  The apps that I'm referring to are: Pages, keynote, numbers, iMovie, and iPhoto.  Each of these were originally purchased or came (iLife / iWork) with the machine when I purchased it.  All of those apps are located for each user under HD/Applications folder.  Each user does have a apple iD for itunes and itunes purchases for songs etc. but all applications are purchased by me the administrator and placed in the HD/Applications folder.  So I'm not sure why I now (since upgrading) to Maverick need to go into each account and perform the updates to these apps.  All previous OS updates never had this problem. 
    Does this now mean for each user that I perform the update my HD is getting multiple downloads and installs and increasing the amount of usage per application.  For example if "pages" takes 1 Gb and I install it for each user will it now take a total of 3Gb for the 3 users?
    Thanks for your help

  • SESSION VARIABLES : HOW TO TEST FOR MULTIPLE USERS

    I have a username session variable set up on a localhost testing envirnoment.
    This works fine for one user, but when I open another occurence of the browser (or just another tab) to test for multiple users the system overwrites the session variable with the last username input.
    So the question is:
             Why doesn't dreamweaver hold an instance of the session variable for each browser session? and if not what are your suggestions?
    Thanks
    Adam.

    Thanks for that.
    After scouring the internet I found the only way of running 2 instances of firefox  without them sharing the session variables is to create 2 new firefox profiles in windows + set the MOZ_NO_REMOTE environment variable.
    Internet explorer is much easier as it has a 'new session' option in the file menu, but seems to have more trouble displaying tables correctly.
    Hope this helps anyone with a similar problem.

  • Call for adobe form is going for dump for multiple users

    hi,
    i am calling an adobe form in a program i.e. for multiple users. now my problem is.....
    3 people are using same tcode to generate the adobe form output for different data. but when they click at a time on the button to generate the adobe output, then adobe form is coming for only one user and it is going for dump for other users.
    and this dump is coming because of exception "CX_FP_API_INTERNAL" in funtion module FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME which i am using to get the function module name of the adobe form in my program.
    can u please give me some solution to rectify this issue....

    That's nothing!
    An engineer and I contacted Adobe technical support by phone to ensure the PC I was having custom built was configured to its optimum. They advised XP64 as the best operating environment. After that discussion we had to completely revise procurement, etc to get the bits and compatible XP64 compatible software, putting the build project back a few weeks as well, Imagine how I laughed when I found out on one of these forums that XP64 is the worst choice and totally unsupported by CS4!
    I have written to Shantanu Narayen, Adobe CEO and didn't even get an acknowledgement I raised this last week on the Adobe stand at BVE and was told they'd get someone to contact me asap but guess what, niet...! To be fair there has been one Adobe executive that recognises the problem and the damage poor customer support is causing the company; he has been as helpful as he can. Unfortunately, it seems the overall Adobe culture at the top is "get the money and run". If your problem goes beyond what's already on their web pages, tough luck!
