Creating Local OS user on Solaris

I am trying a test install of OAS 10G 10.0.4 on solaris 8 and in reading the 10 G installation guide for solaris Page 20 step 8, it mentions the username to be ( oracle ). Can I setup an OS user with a different Name or is it mandatory to have the name as oracle.

If you read the real Install Guide ie the thick one not the quick one :) it says something along
"If you do not already have a user for installing Oracle products, create a user with the following properties:
Login name -- You can use any name for the user. This guide refers to the user as the oracle user."

Can't create Local Network Users in Yosemite

I can't create Local Network Users (or change passwords)
Logged on to /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 as directory administrator
When I try to create a new user (press the [+], fill in the form), it brings up the message:
existing connection is not authenticated or secure: password change denied
I suspect this is emblematic of other issues. I can authenticate for Mail and SMB, but not for AFP or Xcode

So I had this problem last night as well when I upgraded my 10.9.5 OD master to 10.10.
Two obvious problems after that upgrade:
1) Could not add a new Local Network User
2) Existing users could not connect via AFP (but could via SMB)
Through a series of trial and error (and with two Apple Support people...), we found that the following actions seemed to help fix some (but not all) of the problems.:
Problem #2 seemed to initially be fixed by archiving the OD Master, destroying the OD Master and then reimporting from the archive. I archived from the upgraded 10.10, but should probably have tried restoring my 10.9.5 archive (which may end up being why I still have some problems...)
Problem #1 seemed to be solved when I used WorkGroup Manager to reset the password on the Directory Administrator account I use (I also blew out all references to that account from the Keychain, so everything reprompted me to add that password
However, we think the root cause of this might have been that in /var/db/openldap/migration, the following "dot" files were still present after the upgrade
fs:migration root# ls -la
total 6308816
drwx------ 10 root wheel         340 Oct 30 18:59 .
drwxr-xr-x   6 root wheel         204 Oct 30 18:57 ..

-rw-r--r--   1 root wheel 3228537344 Oct 30 18:59 oldsystem.tar
Those 4 .dot files were *not* present in that directory on the two other test OD Master servers that I upgraded without issue.
So we removed them and after having done all the above as well -- I can now add users to the server.   The OD engineer I talked to thought that the presence of those .dot files may have been triggering something to rerun every time PasswordService launched.
When all was said and done, I was then able to "kinit <mydiradminaccount>" correctly and get a "klist" without issue.
ALL THAT SAID: As of this morning, *some* (most? I don't know yet) of my existing OD user accounts are able to successfully log into the server.   A couple of them (so far) are reporting that their account is "disabled" (which is different from the "shaking"/can't-log-in behavior) -- but they can still log in via SMB -- so I think there was still a problem migrating OD accounts in the upgrade process.
AND -- I noticed that -- in Server 4.0 -- "change password" is greyed out, so I have to use WorkGroup Manager to change server account passwords.
Whee...

Problem while creating a new user on solaris

I have a SUN ultra machine. Solaris 2.6 is installed on this machine.
I have successfully created a new user in this machine using "admintool"
Problem is I'm getting error messages when I'm trying to update NIS DATABASE.
I'm doing-
#cd /var/yp
#/usr/ccs/bin/make
and the response is----
updated passwd
pushed passwd
make:Warning:Don't know how to make target /etc/ethers
Current working directory /var/yp
make:Warning:Don't know how to make target /etc/netgroup
Current working directory /var/yp
make:Warning:Don't know how to make target /etc/bootparams
Current working directory /var/yp
updated netid
pushed netid
Couldn't find /etc/timezone
make:Warning:Target all not remade because of errors.
Current working directory /var/yp

I had the a similar problem with new users on sloaris 8.
I wasn't able to add new users and change the shell variable while using admintool.
Login back into the console would simply not happen.
All i've been able to find is that changing the users' variable - i.e. .login or .profile to match that of a working existing user (root),
would skip over the problems.
Other variables in the skeleton files were helpful. I suggest you take a look at them.

Password/special characters policy for creating a new user in Solaris

Hi,
Please anyone can advise me on the following issue ?
I tried to reinforce a new policy in the Solaris box, where when a new user is create, it should include minimum 1 or 2 numeric character, example
useradd testing <<<<<<<<<<<<<< not allowd
useradd testing123 <<<<<<<<<<<<<< Okay
My /etc/defautl/passwd
MINALPHA=4
MINDIFF=7
MINDIGIT=1
MINSPECIAL=1
MINUPPER=2
MINLOWER=2
MAXREPEATS=1
WHITESPACE=YES
NAMECHECK=YES
DICTIONDBDIR=/var/passwd
DICTIONLIST=/usr/share/lib/dict/words
HISTORY=12
MINWEEKS=NONE
MAXWEEKS=4
WARNWEEKS=NONE
PASSLENGTH=8

You might want to write an local account creation script which checks that account names comply with your policy before executing useradd to actually create the account. Tell your staff to use that script to create new accounts instead of using useradd directly. Of course, it could also check other aspects of your local policy as well.

How do I create Local Network Home Folders for Users from an Active Directory binding?

My situation is this... I run an iMac lab at my school. I have a server set up to manage the network user accounts in the lab. Currently, I can sucessfully create Local Network Users and log in to them from any of the iMacs. My school has an Active Directory set up for all the students on campus. What I'd like to be able to do is configure the server to allow the students to use their user names and passwords from their school accounts to log in to the iMacs and have it automatically build a network user folder on the server for them to use during the lab.
So far, I have been able to configure access for the Active Directory accounts to use the services on the server, mainly File Sharing, but I cannot figure out how to allow them to log into a user account on the client's machines using their same Active Directory credentials. I have even attempted to allow the user accounts to create mobile accounts, but that's not working out either. Entering indivual network user accounts into the server for every student every semester will be a nightmare. I'm sure there's a way to do it automatically using the exisitng Active Directory structure.
The live server is running 10.8.5 Server still, but I've also got a clone running OS X Server in case it matters. Please help!

ok reinstalled everything dns seems to be working have done sudo changeip -checkhostname and it says that both names match but then i started open directory and can't seem to get Kerberos started, i've tried changing it to stand alone then back again but it does nothing. I'm wondering why this would happen? i've tried adding a kerberos record but it doesn't do it just does nothing so i don't know what i'm doing wrong. I wondered if it might be a problem with the two network cards and dns as on ethernet one it is getting the dns name xserve.xxxx.ac.uk (which matches what the college server wants to call us) but on ethernet 2 gets xserve-2.local because it tells me that it already exists on ethernet one and renames it to this. I need to set up NAT so have ethernet coming in on port one and out again on port two. I wonder if my dns is backwards as its got the 192. address the NAT uses but its linked to the ethernet port one dns maybe this is the problem. would this cause open directory not to start kerberos?

CISCO WLC , connecting SSID with local net user

Dears,
Created Local Net User
created SSID and Broadcasted, users can connect to SSID with PSK
But not able to connect using Local net user created in WLC

Hi,
What kind of Layer 2 Security are you using on your SSID?
You can't have both PSK and Local user database authentication on the same SSID.

WLC- Local net user

Hi,
Normally in cisco WLC, we can create "local net user" , same user can able to access internet via captive portal authentication.
Query is : can we use "password policy " which was there on the same screen under security tab : as the Possword policy is only for "local management & AP User "
did "AP user" is same like "local net user"

Cisco WLC local net user - guest account

Hello,
We have a 2504 Cisco WLC. I am creating Local Net Users for one of the WLANs that uses Web Auth and the Local Database.
My one question is, what does a "guest account" do differently than a non guest account besides the ability to create the lifetime of the account? I mean, it seems both give access to the WLAN so I am failing to see the difference between the two.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

A guest acct can only login to a webauth WLAN. A normal netuser can login to any WLAN that you allow or all. Including 802.1x if that WLAN is allowed to chek the local db

Create user in solaris

i have a doubt about how to create a user on solaris.
I gave the command :-
useradd -g oinstall -d /u01/mediate mediate
It creates the user but then i give
# su - mediate
su: No directory!
It is probably not create the home directory for the user, so, is not able to do change user. Please, do the needful as i need it very urgently.
regards

Said that this is not the best forum for such a question (I'd try with Generic Linux) you may try using "-m" option.
"man useradd" may also be useful.

Create a New Local Network User

Hi,
I have a Mac OSX (Snow Lion) server on a network with three Mac Computers (2 on Mavericks and 1 on Lion). Our computers are a shared resource among employees. Basically I enable each member of our company to be user on any computer.
I had a chap come in and create the original employee user accounts (Local Network User). Since our company has grown by two. I now want to create accounts them too. This chap has now moved.
So far I have gone into Server OSX and created the users. How do I now get these accounts to show up on the client computer login screen. I went into profile manager and read the server documentation. And then got stuck!
Can anyone coach me through this.
Thanks
Andrew

If you want the local user account to use a specific UID to match an account in your Open Directory setup then it is not necessary to manually create a local user with a matching UID. The normal approach is to set the Mac up to automatically create a mobile account that matches the Open Directory account. When the user logs in on the Mac for the first time the user account would be created with the matching UID, matching short and full names, and matching password and the password will be kept in sync with the Open Directory account. This setting can be done via Workgroup Manager and MCX preferences if you still use that method, or more typically these days via a setting in Profile Manager. (Or equivalent.)
If you really must create a local account with a specific UID then create the local account as normal, make sure you have if needed unlocked the padlock in Users & Groups in System Preferences and then Option-Click on the user account on the left, a menu will appear listing the choice "Advanced Options..." and this will let you change the UID.
Note: You may need to later do the following in Terminal.app
sudo chown -R user /Users/user

Sorry, I did not learn and understand the new common / local user concept yet.
How can I start the PDB and create a local user to handle normal grant as 11g DB schema users ?
Many thanks and regards

Thanks,
a step forward:
SQL> show PDBS

SQL> alter pluggable database pdborcl open;
SQL> show PDBS
==> PORCL READ WRITE.
SQL> alter session set container=PDBORCL;
SQL> show con_name;

SQL> grant connect, resource, create view to testx;
==> OK.
SQL> conn testx/testx@db12gR1

What is wrong ?

Create local user via dropdown from .csv

Hello
i try to create a powershell script to create local users on Win7.
All the user informations are stored in a .csv file.
Now I'd like to have a dropdown-menu to choose which user should be created.
So i want the first column of the csv displayed in the Dropdown.
When a option gets choosen the script should read the rest of the information out of the .csv-file and create the user with it.
i got some parts to create a dropdown and to create local users via .csv, but my limited powershell knowledge keeps me from putting it to one piece.

Hi Yannick Hassler,
To create local users with properties listed in a csv file, and also add the users to a local group, please refer to the script below:
import-csv d:\3.csv | foreach{
$server=[adsi]"WinNT://$env:computername"
$user=$server.Create("User",$_.name)
$user.SetPassword($_.password)
$user.SetInfo()
# add extra info
$user.Put('Description',$_.description)
$user.SetInfo()
# add user to mandatory local group
$group = $_.group
$group=[adsi]"WinNT://$env:computername/$group"
$group.Add($user.path)
# add users to other groups
Please also save your .csv file d:\3.csv like this :
Name
password
group
description
TUTTLSX
Password
Users
Test user
annaretu
Password
Users
Test user11
I hope this helps.

Oracle service run not by Local System user

Hi,
Our configuration is:
Oracle 10.2.0.3 SE RAC (2 nodes)
Windows
ASM
Currently Oracle service is run as Local System user.
My boss insists that we need to create a special user and run Oracle service as this user.
Could there be any issues if we change from Local System to different user?
Thanks,
Lev

There is no issue, if you change local system to different user.
Running Oracle service as Local System user is normal behaviour. Show the below link to your boss that no need a seperate account in Windows.
