Customize user logon name max length

Hi all,
We are changing our user name policy from testingadmin (12 char) to testingadministrator (20). The new user name don't fit in the bname field when try to login. Anybody know if is possible to expand it or change this size or to customize the max length of userid?
Best regards and thanks in advanced.

Do you have the SAP note indicate that it is not advisable to customize the user logon name max length or it cannot be customize?
thanks in advance....

Impact on roaming profile accounts if we Change User logon Name to Employee Number format in Active Directory for all User accounts

I want to understand if we change User logon Name to Employee Number format in Active Directory for all User accounts, then what would be the impact on existing profile. Whether we need to change it manualy or it will connect to same profiles in terminal
session.
As i observed it create new profile after logon name changed to employee number where existing users profile settings get fails to load and prompt for new settings (such as outlook reconfiguration, share drive mapping etc.).
Kindly let me know the proper process to overcome with this, how to connect same existing roaming profile with employee number format change.

Hi,
What if we change the user name of user account, will it have impact on roaming profiles.
Yes, it will affect roaming profiles. Please rename the roaming profile folder as the new user account name, in addition, change the profile path in ADUC.

User Logon Name (pre-Windows 2000) and Domain Name Don't have the same Value

Hi
is it possible to have User Logon Name (pre-Windows 2000) and Domain Name with different value?
Exemple:
domain name domain1.com
and User Logon Name (pre-Windows 2000) Domain2\user

If you have trust in place, then also you can use trusted domain name to login from trustee domain. Also, UPN suffix can be added.

Capture user logon name

Hello!
I have posted my question in the JSP forums...but perhaps it is more correct to post it here.
I want to control who is accessing to our intranet web pages. I want to retrieve the user logon name , but without promt, and store the ids into a database
Is it possible?
Can this be done using an applet?
Thank you very much in advance.

System.getProperty("user.name");Oh man, I guess I shouldn't be posting today.
Maybe therE's an entry in the Session object's properties? (Too long ago...)

Searching by "User Logon Name"

Hey guys
I am currently searching the AD by a user's Common Name. For example:
String searchFilter = "( & ( objectClass = user ) { CN = " + commonName + " } )";But if I want to search the AD by a "User Logon Name", what do I write in the search filter instead of "CN"? Is this piece of information even available?
If not, is there any other way for me to search the AD by a "User Logon Name"?
Thanks
Noam

Ordinarily I would suggest that you browse the Active Directory using a tool such as ldp.exe and it would become quite obvious which attributes are used to store the user logon names.
But because it's Monday, the birds are chirping and it's not raining, I'll make it kind of easy for you:
If you are logging with a NT style domain name like ANTIPODES\alberte, then you will want to search for soemthing like:String searchFilter = "( & ( objectClass = user ) (samAccountName = alberte) )";otherwise if you are using an e-mail style logon name then your search will look something like:String searchFilter = "( & ( objectClass = user ) ( userPrincipalName = [email protected] ) )";

User Logon Name domain list

We are in the process of turning on DirSync and later ADFS. I've been on the phone with MS and have a question. After running DirSync the program was changing our user logon names because our actual internal/local domain was not verified within the Azure/Office
365 systems. So, I'm looking into different options as to how to fix this.
Quick description of our domain.
Server 2008 R2 native Empty root with all everything in the child domain. So company.domain.com. With all users and everything being in the company domain. This is actually a different name then our email domain which we'll say is email.com.
The domain we have verified in the Office 365 environment is email.com. While we have registered domain.com on the public internet we have no records defined. Everything external is in the email.com public domain.
In troubleshooting our dirsync user issue the engineer opened the users property page in AD users and computers. From there he went to the "Account" tab.
There it showed the User logon name: user1 @company.domain.com with a down arrow. I've looked at the pull down before and I've seen two options... domain.com and company.domain.com... I've always assumed just because these are our two onsite
local domains that my DC's know about. Well, he picked the pull down and there were three options... the two internal domains PLUS email.com. I have no idea when that showed up. He mentioned if we set the users
UPN there to email.com instead of company.domain.com dirsync would work properly... And we tested that and it did.
My question is what determines this drop down list? And what are the ramifications of changing my internal users to that email.com domain.
I've tested logging into various PC's on site after I changed a test user to that email.com domain and everything seems to still work fine. I have access to corp data, email... I can't find an issue.
Can anyone enlighten me with this?
Sorry for the long description... I hope I've been relatively clear...
Thanks in advance
RS

Respectfully,
While the original problem described was related to Office 365, my question is 100% Directory Services related and has nothing to do with Office 365. I'm sorry if my post was misleading.
In Active Directory Users and Computers, in a user objects properties page, under the "Account" tab. At the very top it shows
User logon name:
<<USER LOGON>> a separation and a <<@domain>> box. With a pull down list populated with what I thought were the domains in the local AD forest.
My question is what populates or what determines what is listed in this pull down... As stated, I thought it's populated with the Active Directory domains in the local AD forest. But, the pull down in my case has one extra...
@company.domain.com (default and my primary AD domain)
@domain.com (my empty root domain in my AD forest)
@email.com (I have no AD domain for this but it is my primary email domain)
I thought about this last night and I know Exchange is very integrated into AD... So does Exchange input its primary email domain into this AD pull down list as well? I have Exchange 2010 on site.
Thanks
RS

Fixing the user logon name after a mistake in a script

Hello,
I ran a bulk import of user accounts into my AD, however when I ran the script there was an error in the UPN name. Now all the accounts have the following logon names:
{Domain.local}
Rather than
Domain.local
Making a user's UPN name:
User1@{domain.local}
Rather than deleting the accounts and re-running the script I would simply like to run a powershell command which will search for all the account withs {domain.local} in their UPN and change them to domain.local.
Can anyone assist?
Thanks.

Hello dbutch1976,
you can use Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell.
Then, I have this question: is your SamAccountName equal to UPN prefix (e.g. SamAccountName:
toby.brown - UPN: [email protected])
If yes, the PowerShell script should be:
Get-ADUser -Filter {UserPrincipalName -like "*@{domain.local}"} | Select SamAccountName | ForEach { Set-ADUser -Identity $_.SamAccountName -UserPrincipalName "$($_.SamAccountName)@domain.local"}
...if not:
Get-ADUser -Filter {UserPrincipalName -like "*@{domain.local}"} | Select SamAccountName, UserPrincipalName | ForEach { Set-ADUser -Identity $_.SamAccountName -UserPrincipalName $($_.UserPrincipalName -replace "{domain.local}","domain.local")}
Bye,
Luca

0#.w | prefixed user logon name

I have SP 2013 Application which uses my custom claims provider(overridden SPClaimsProvider). For some users it display user as 0#.w|domain\Accountname . Actually why this 0#.w comes and when this comes? Kindly help.
jaik

0#.w is a claims identifier. Its like having the Domain name in front of a login name when using AD. Here's an article that explains the encoding.
http://www.wictorwilen.se/Post/How-Claims-encoding-works-in-SharePoint-2010.aspx
If a user has a Display name defined that SharePoint can see then the Display name will be used in most cases. But sometimes there is no Display Name avaialble in the identity provider. In that case the login name is used. For a claims
based user it is something similar to what you are seeing.

Layer Name Max Length

Just tried out the Photoshop CC Image Asset Generation and it rocks. However, I can only add up to so many characters for names of the layers. Is there a way that the limit can be lifted. I think this would be beneficial especially for all the different densities for creating android assets. Other than making the layer names super short, does anyone have any input on how this could be solved.
Thanks

I just posted a Feddback thread as the idea makes sense: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/with_generator_photoshop_layers_need _to_allow_more_than_64_characters

How do I find the logon name associated with a roaming profile folder

Hello,
We have Server 2003 R2 Enterprise and Windows 7 Enterprise workstations.
We normally name the profile path \\server\profiles\%username% and that assigns the users logon name to the profile folder.
Someone created a user account and incorrectly named the profile path so the folder name and user logon name do not match. I am trying to find out who owns the folder without taking ownership of the folder (by default, we did not include Administrators in
NTFS permissions).
Is there a way I can find out what the user logon name for the profile folder is without taking ownership of the folder?
Thanks in advance.

if there is a chance that the user/owner is still configured with this folder as profile attribute, check the profile attributes of you users for the user account with the matching profile folder attribute.
check the script gallery, or similar, for a script which will list out all user account profile attributes to a text file, then search/browse that text file for the matching folder name -> user account.
I have some older scripts tucked away which do ADSI queries in VBscript, to dump out the home_folder and profile_folder attributes for every user in our AD. This helps when we are re-shuffling home_folders or profile_folders from one server to another, etc.

Renaming Ad logon name not reflecting during Mac login

Hello Guys,
Thanks in advance, I have added the Mac to Active Directory and being using domain credentials to login to Mac. Post renaming of the User Logon name in AD not able to login to Mac with changed credentials. Kindly suggest me some Links or whitepaper to troubleshoot the issue.
Many Thanks
Krish

Hello TP,
UPN would not solve my issue.
Though I have found that if I delete the user in system preference and keep the home folder I am able to login. But it create a new profile, are you aware of any command to remap the old profile to new renamed account, so the profile,permissions and other options do not change.
Many Thanks
Krish

How we Can find out How many Users Logon into the Portal those users Names.

Hi Friends
I have one doubt in Portal,
How we can find how many Users Logon into the Portal and how we can find that users Names in Portal.
Regards
Vijay Kalluri

Hello Vijay,
If you are at all interested in a 3rd party application to make your life a bit easier getting stats on your users, you could check out Click Stream by Sweetlets.
Click Stream uses the Usermanagement (UME) API to get more information about the user, groups, roles, LDAP attributes etc. and offers you the ability to filter this information in nearly any report at the click of a button.
Click Stream also uses the PCD API to get information about the pages your users are visiting too.
In the very near future Click Stream will also have iView recording to monitor iViews, telling which iViews have been clicked, etc.
Here are some reviews on the SAP EcoHub from people who have used it: http://ecohub.sdn.sap.com/irj/ecohub/solutions/clickstream
Please just let me know if you have any question or if you are open to test drive Click Stream. We will certainly help as best as we can.
Good luck.

Oracle 9ir2 Max length of element/field name?

Does anyone know what the max length of a element/field name can be in Oracle 9ir2?
thanks,
-mcd

Thanks.. So, the max length is still 30.. what about this:
Is this also true for the length of element names defined in an XML schema for use by Oracle XML DB?
There are two ways in which XDB can absorb a schema -- one that causes the XMLTYPE to be stored in a CLOB, the other causes the XMLTYPE to be broken down into relational tables behind the scenes. The latter uses the element names for the table names, so I'm assuming it would be restricted by the 30-character column name limit (unless XDB has some way of truncating the column names but preserving the element names). But what about the case where the XMLTYPE is stored in a CLOB? In theory, there's nothing limiting the length of the element name.

Max length of G_F array

I have a html table on a APEX page. User can add/delete rows from the table at run time. I use attribute name="Fxx" to name input fileds. For example, name="F05" for the text_area inputs in column 5. When the page is submitted, I capture the values by loop through array apex_application.g_f05.
Everything works fine until I have more than 475 rows in the table. IE gives me a "Page can't be displayed" error when submit.
My question is: Is there a max length of apex_application.g_fxx type array? Have I reached the plsql limitation or apex_application.g_fxx limitation? How can resolve this?
Thanks.

I need to allow submit upto 700 rows from a html table on a APEX page. But what I have encountered is that if I have less that 478 rows in the table, there is no problem to submit the page and save all data to database. But as soon as I have more than 478 rows on the table, the submission will fail and the browser simply display a 'Page cannot find " error.
Has anybody experieneced this before? Is there a way to resovle this? Thank you.

Cannot open database "ReportServer" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'USER LOGON'

I want to grant permissions to all domain users to view reports on our Report Server. Domain users are able to access our Report Server URL and folder, but when they click on a report item they get an error message:
"Cannot open database "ReportServer" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'USER LOGON'"
I'm using windows authentication and configured the local service account in SSReportS Config Manager as the credentials to connect to the Report Server DB.
Can someone please help how I should properly do this step by step to give all domain users permissions to view a report in SSRS?
Thanks much! - Rookie DBA

Hi IWAR,
The error message "Cannot open database "ReportServer" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'USER LOGON'" means the user 'USER LOGON' does not have permissions to access the "ReportServer" database.
To fix this issue, please verify that the user has a valid database user login. For more details, please refer to the following steps.
In SQL Server Management Studio, open Object Explorer and expand the Databases folder.
Expand the database in which to create the new database user.
Right-click the Security folder, point to New, and then click User.
On the General page, enter a name for the new user in the User name box.
In the Login name box, enter the name of a SQL Server login to map to the database user.
Click OK.

Hope this helps.
