Dynamic user profile

I have installed and configured Kanaka plug-in and my nds users can now login and see their home folders. However, they cannot launch any local applications eg. TextEdit generates a message "TextEdit quit unexpectedly" and so does Opera, Firefox always tries to create a new profile and then gives a "Profile Creation failed" due to chosen folder not being writable and MS Word will always bring the initial setup screen up but never actually loads. Is there something I have to do within Kanaka to give the dynamic users more rights. We are trying to implement this for students using our public Macs so we don't want them to have administrator privileges but they do need to be able to launch programs. Thanks

Reorder User Profile properties in SharePoint 2013.

Hi, I have created custom user profile properties in SharePoint 2013 under User Profile Service Application, now I want to change the order of properties as well as also want to move OOTB properties and custom properties from one section to another section.
Is there any Power Shell command available to move properties between sections?
Regards,

Hi Prakash,
Use the script in this blog to retrive user profile properties from a certain section.
http://stevemannspath.blogspot.in/2013/05/sharepoint-20102013-using-powershell-to.html
# Dynamic Settings
$mySiteUrl = "http://mysite.company.net"
$findProperty = "PictureUrl"
Next, we needed to establish the server context:
# Obtain Context based on site
$mySiteHostSite = Get-SPSite $mySiteUrl
$mySiteHostWeb = $mySiteHostSite.OpenWeb()
$context = Get-SPServiceContext $mySiteHostSite
From the context we can instantiate a ProfileManager object and retrieve all of the SharePoint User Profiles:
# Obtain Profiles from the Profile Manager
$profileManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($context)
$AllProfiles = $profileManager.GetEnumerator()
$outputCollection = @()
Next, we loop through the profiles and retrieve the account name (for identification purposes) and the property we are interested in finding:
# Loop through profiles and retrieve the desired property
foreach ($profile in $AllProfiles)
$output = New-Object System.Object
$output | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -Name AccountName -Value $profile["AccountName"].ToString()
$output | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -Name $findProperty -Value $profile[$findProperty]
$outputCollection += $output
Finally, we list out the collection items that do not have a value for the property (ie. null):
# List all Accounts that do not contain the property
$outputCollection | Where-Object {[bool]$_.($findProperty) -ne $true}
FULL SCRIPT
# Dynamic Settings
$mySiteUrl = "http://mysite.company.net"
$findProperty = "PictureUrl"

$profileManager = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($context)
$AllProfiles = $profileManager.GetEnumerator()
$outputCollection = @()
# Loop through profiles and retrieve the desired property
foreach ($profile in $AllProfiles)
$output = New-Object System.Object
$output | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -Name AccountName -Value $profile["AccountName"].ToString()
$output | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -Name $findProperty -Value $profile[$findProperty]
$outputCollection += $output
# List all Accounts that do not contain the property
$outputCollection | Where-Object {[bool]$_.($findProperty) -ne $true}
In this blog, we can refer the script to create new section and new properties to this section.

User Profile Disks with Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 VDI

Hello experts!
We are building a new server setup for the office and are unable to figure out why UPD will not work. We have VDI setup and a user for instance
connecting through the RDWeb workplace will dynamically get one of the available Windows 8 Machines delivered through Hyper-V and can successfully login on this machine via Active Directory. So far so good...
However, when we activate the User Profile Disks "UPD" feature the login takes forever and the VHDX will not mount on c:\users\...
as expected within the virtual Windows 8 machine.
The UPD config is quite simple, with just the path "\\vmhost\upd\" set. This share has (now during test) full access for everyone,
both on share level and on security level, but still the VHDX will not mount.
The UVHD-template.vhdx file gets created just fine when UPD is activated, and during login through RDWeb a TEMP-UVHD-S-1-5-21-1477358240-4159876597-995667825-500.vhdx
gets created, but there it stops... The login process takes a couple of minutes by the "Windows förbereds" (roughly translated to English "Preparing Windows"), and then the user gets logged in with a temporary profile.
- The event log says (translated using Google translate):
Failed to obtain a user profile disk for the user account with SID S-1-5-21-1477358240-4159876597-995667825-500.
Make sure the location of the user profile desk can be reached, the server's computer account has read and write permissions to the site and that there is a template file for user profile disks at the site.
Name of the virtual desk"font-size:14px;font-family:'Droid Serif', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;color:#222222;line-height:23px;"
/>HRESULT: 0x8007007B.0
Please help, it should not be that hard to achieve this.

User Profiles editiable parts

I'm making user profiles in dreamweaver cs5 and I want to know how to add editible boxes so users can tell who they are, what's their favoirte thing to do, hobbies, etc.etc. I'm having a very hard time trying to do this and I'm sorry if it sounds simple or something. Maybe I'm just foolish. Thank you for your support and answers.

Migrating Novell User Profiles

We are looking into the feasibility of using Mirage to do upgrades and migrations. One snag we have hit is that we currently utilize a Novell login, which creates a dynamic local user profile and USMT cannot migrate the user's profile to a new image on an AD domain joined system. Has anyone accomplished anything similar with Mirage?

Edit User Profile

Hi
I am having some problems....... any help would be nice
I am using DWCS3 and ADDT toolbox extension wamp and
phpmyadmin
I am trying to create a site for people to be able to post a
profile with a picture and info and display it in a dynamic table.
I can create the form, a database and display the data on
another page in a dynamic table all ok..... kind of.
I can create a user registration system with ADDT.
I can redirect them after registration to a post profile
page, which has a form to upload details. I can then display those
details on a user info page.
I would like to allow logged in users to be able to click on
a link to their own profile page , which would show the same form
that was filled out in the post profile page, but would be already
populated with their previously entered information. I would like
users to be able to edit the content of the form and update the
information in the database and automatically delete delete any
previously entered information ( only in the fields that have been
edited)
How do I go about doing this?.... step by step?
I want to allow logged in user to view their own profile not
every bodies.... how do I do that?
I have read on another post that to do something similar to
this I should filter my database information using a session
varialble MM_username that I think is created automatically after
user logs in .... but I don;t know how to do this.... I really
don;t understand is this the way I link my user to a page that only
displays their info ? or is there another way?
I would also like to allow only people who have posted a
profile to be able to edit profile ...... do I do that by
1. new user registers and is redirected to login page
2. user logs in and is redirected to an index page that has a
post profile button and a edit profile button but only the POST
button is active ( and links to a form to post info ) and the edit
profile button is linked to a " You must post a profile first" page
( with a link back)
3 so user posts profile and is directed to an index page
which has an edit profile button which is now linked to an edit
profile page
Does that sound correct?
Any suggestions in getting all this to work would be much
appreciated

Hi ,
For the Add New Mapping's "Add" button grayed out, when I change to another/second "Synchronization Connection" from "Source Data Connection" dropdown, then "Add" button will be available.
For the Property Mapping for Synchronization's "Remove" button grayed out,
please make sure your Farm account or user account has the following permissions, then check results again.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee721049(v=office.15).aspx#MapUserProc
The user account that performs this procedure is a farm administrator or an administrator of the User Profile service application.
The user account that performs this procedure is a member of the Administrators group on the computer that is running SharePoint Server.

User management/User profiling/Security

We are developing a Intranet/Portal for our organization.we want to give personalized view for each and every portal user and with very high security.
We are not very clear how to make the user profile.
What is
1.role based security
2.rule based security
3.Is there any standard or models are there for Grouping the user.
(ie) is there any articles or case studies for this.Please tell me is there any books or web resources for this.

Role based security is when the system allows you to create roles which represent a set of permissions and assign users to these roles. An example might be an admin role in a database where anyone belonging to the admin role has permission to add/remove users, tables, etc. Rule based security is not a term defined in EJB per se but I would assume it means that there are policies which represent sets of permissions that are more dynamic than roles. Users can dynamically be assigned permissions via rules that administrators can change at runtime. The best references on security in J2EE are in the J2EE spec and blueprints, both of these you can get at http://java.sun.com/j2ee/download.html

I am having a serious issue with all my apps disappearing/not working- user profiles

i will list the things i have done in the past 24 hours, hopefully one of you knows what happened...thank you in advance
first off, my situation- was that i bought a macbook pro(about a year ago) with lion or snow leopord it is software 10.7.5 i dont know what the guy did but when he sent me the computer the username was off and so was the home folder, i changed the username with ease but the home folder stayed tbd and i couldnt figure out how to change it. well it finally got on my nerves enough from looking at it that i wanted to change it today that put me into the situation i am in. Here is what i have changed:
-I added a second profile as to see if i could change the home emblem file named tbd to what i wanted. This worked or so i thought.
- then shared and permissions showed tbd(me) so i wanted to change that also so i went into systempreferences>users and groups>login options>network account server and clicked join/open directory utility. this is where i believe i went wrong i read in a forum that this is what you needed to change to make it look how i wanted it to. under active directory it still had this guys name gtmb04_evan so i changed it to my name like the forum said, well his name is back up even though i changed it. and this is when everything stopped working.
symptoms: all my applications act like they are newly downloaded and make me set them up.
- my home screen is nothing like it was before, no apps are on the desktop and the bar along the bottom only has the basic ones
- i tried to take the second username off of administrater which made me restart my cp(all my stuff looked normal until this, but didnt work)
-my launchpad wasnt showing any apps they simply looked blank
- my firefox along with many other apps wouldnt even start prior to reseting and gave me a message with something like couldnt find or access user profile( i forget the entire message)
please please help me, i hate this right now and have no idea what to do, all my files are still under my name, that when i thought i changed tbd- it apparently just made a new folder under users which didnt show up until the restart, i do not have a time machine set up on this computer because i hated the lion setup and couldn't get it to operate correctly

i do not have a backup of it, so i am thinking about replacing my old hard drive from the water damaged into this one, not even sure if that would work, but it did not seem to be damaged, as i recovered all the files i wanted off of it to put onto this mbp
the previous owner didnt have it set to boot, they had all their settings left on it and tried to edit all the names on it, had a bunch of server info and printers etc crap on it. i do not believe he edited the terminal system though--he doesnt seem to terribly bright(if thats possible)
tbh i hate lion compared to the old one i had, this one has so many more issues-overheating,fan noise, cd dvd noise
if you need screenshots or data of anything else as away
[problem is i do not want to start from scratch if there is a chance of fixing it, this one did not come with disks or anything like my first. so i dont even know if i could, and how it sets now i am basically starting from scratch, because now all my apps are reset but working, i am hoping to get my data back somehow though, i lost all of my bookmarks and editing all my apps and setting again would be a pain

How do my GF and I share our iTunes library across our user profiles?

I'm sure this question has been asked a million times but here goes.
My GF and I both have a user profile on our Mac Mini. She is just now setting up her new iPhone and wants to be able to get music on it and such from her own profile.
All of the iTunes (and iPhoto) media sits on an external 2TB hard drive. I can see everything free and clear in my profile. When I log into her profile she's got nothing in her music library. How can we get her to be able to access the same library? Also, is there a way to ensure that if she were to add new music to her folder that I would see it in mine?
Your big brains appreciated on this. I'm sure there's a simple solution, no?

perhaps the following kb article will help:

Use one profile for all user profiles in Server 2012 R2

Hi
I am setting up an Windows Server 2012 R2 Template on VMware.
I will do som changes with the local admin user, and want all user that will log in to servers made from this Template, get the user profile I have set up for the admin account.
How to I do that?
Regards
StigKSand

the way I used to do this was to create a new profile the way I wanted with any shortcuts applications etc installed. then I would create another user account on the PC and make it an admin.
reboot the pc to ensure it hasn't got the pre-configured profile loaded and login with your newly created admin account.
then right click This PC in windows explorer and select properties, then select advanced system settings, and select user profiles on the advanced tab. You can then select the profile you made all the configuration to, and click copy and then select default
profile.
this should then mean any new users who login get this default profile on this server.
hopefully that is what you were referring to.

How can I Import CA Certificate into a new user profile when it's created

I need to deploy a CA Root Certificate to new firefox user profile when it is created in windows. I Seen somewhere that you could place a working copy of cert8.db in %programfiles%\firefox-installation-folder\defaults\profile and this would get added when a new firefox profile is created. However, the profile directory doesn't exist in the defaults folder and when I created it this method still didn't work.
Is there a way to get firefox to create new profiles with preconfigured Certificates?
Right now when new users open firefox for first time it is unable to connect to any SSL sites through our proxy server until the user adds the proxies ca certificate or it gets added later via logon script (at next user logon).

Update... For anyone looking for a similar solution:
I ended up adding more to my logon script I have it check for a user's mozilla profile first and if not found it will use command line "firefox.exe -createprofile default" to make one. After that I just copy a working cert8.db to that new profile. Then when the user opens firefox for first time, it will detect this new profile, and it will load it along with the correct CA Certs intact...
Also, for existing profiles my script just uses nss certutil to add my proxy CA Certificate to the users profile cert8db.

Huge ntuser.dat.LOG1 since upgrade to Windows 8.1 prohibits roaming of user profile

Hello,
a few days ago my PC (part of our domain) first started to have problems with my user profile. Our domain uses roaming profiles with a size limit of 30MB. My user.dat has a size of 12.5MB. Up to now this did not cause any problems (and does not cause any for
most users of our domain having a user.dat of similar size). However, after upgrading to Windows 8.1 I repeadly have problems with my profile exceeding its maximum size. After checking my profile, I found a ntuser.dat.LOG1 with 12,5MB in size and a ntuser.dat.LOG2
of 2MB. As far as I know these files are used to store temporary transactions for the user.dat. But why are they this large? Together they almost completely fill the profile. As an interesting side node the last modification of ntuser.dat.LOG1 dates back more
then seven days.
What is further puzzling me: ntuser.dat.LOG1 and ntuser.dat.LOG2 are not synchronized with the roaming profile on the server. At least they are not on the server. However there used to be much smaller versions of these files which could have been transfered
before the profile size exceeded its limit. Since these file seem not to be part of the roaming part of the profile, they should not count for the roaming profile size. However, they definitely do. Neglecting the registry files the largest file in my profile
is less than 500kb and there are very few files of this size. I checked locally as well as on our server.
Deleting the local profile and starting fresh using the roaming profile from our server does work for a day or two but then I run into the same problem. Especially, loosing all local profile data is inconvenient. I could start a new with a completely new
profile, but I am not convinced that it is a profile issue. In our organisation my computer is one of the first to move to Windows 8.1. Since my profile worked without problems for years now, I am worried that I ran into a Windows 8.1 issue. As users normally
start to complain about a roaming profile not synchronizing only after their local copy broke, I'd like to make sure that this is a isolated issue.
Anyone else experiencing similar issues? Any hint on how to solve the problem?

Oliver

No, I did not find a solution. However, we moved away from roaming profiles and rely on folder redirection only. That works for us. Since we can redirect the most important folders there is no more need for roaming profiles (at least in our case).

User Profiles are the wrong style after importing/migrating site collections from other SharePoint versions

I manage a couple of different version of SharePoint, which we are in the process of migrating to SharePoint 2013. I have a problem which I am not sure how to resolve. We are using MetaLogix to migrate site and site collection data from an older SharePoint
2007/WSS3.0 server environment into our new SharePoint 2013 environment and we are having a problem with user profiles that get created.
I have SharePoint 2013 set up for "SharePoint Profile Synchronization" and some of our user's profiles are being created in an older format that shows the user's claims account information, rather than the more fancy profile type that allows us
to include pictures and click on "follow this person" links.
If we manually delete the profile, it will be recreated properly however, as we are migrating many sites and collections over, it is near impossible to do this and keep track of each user so that their profiles can be deleted and recreated.
Is there some way to change this behavior so that SharePoint will only create the newer style of user profile?

These 'profiles' are you looking at them in the User Profile Service Application itself or are you looking at site collections? There is a huge difference between the two but people often miss it.
In most cases you'll have some partial information on the Site Collections but when you click through to their actual profile (not just their User Information List entry) you'll see the prettier version. That information is normally internally synchronised
by a timer job but that may not have run yet and/or the fact that your users haven't actually used the site may be causing it not to update them (it's an efficiency matter).
Finally: Drop your sales guy at Metalogix an email, they will bounce it to one of their techies and they'll have seen it a million times.

Web - What is easiest way to implement User Security and User Profiles

Hi, I am new to these forums and kind of new to Java. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum!
Bit of background to my experience with java
I have been playing about with java for a number of years and have created a few basic programs such as a screen shot tool that allows you to capture to default locations and look at previews first etc. I am now venturing into web related stuff. I work in IT doing systems testing and have done bits of basic development on various things.
What I've done so far
I am using Netbeans IDE 6.7 and MySQL 5.0
I am trying to learn more complex java and have decided to try build a basic web / database system that basically implements adding / amending / deleting data from a MySQL database through web pages. I am now trying to implement basic user access and profiles. I have so far got the following:
- MySQL table with user info - username / password
- JSP page with usual login stuff
- Servlet that validates the username and password - if correct forwards to main menu page.
Its as simple as that - there is nothing stopping you just typing in the URL of the main menu page and going from there.
What I want
I am wanting to eventually get the following:
- User authentication so that you have to logon before you can access anything else
- User profiles that determine what each user can or can't do, restricting the pages / services / options available (i.e. normal user can't delete etc)
- Would it need some sort of session manager to allow multiple users etc?
I appreciate this is a fairly open question but what is the easiest way to start implementing this? Not after specific code as I would prefer to try figger things out myself, but a point in the right direction would be great. It doesn't have to be extremely secure as this is just for me at the minute.
I have spent all day looking at things like session data / url rewriting / security settings in web.xml / bespoke servlets and am now in java overload!

Hi everyone,
I've now actually gone back to the tutorial that I linked to above and implemented that using form login and j_security_check.
Agree with Saish, and although I don't know enough about the other options to give a good reason, using realms and j_security_check just seems to be a bit cluncky and messy. I would also prefer something a bit more generic, that doesn't rely on setting users in glassfish, hence why I started with my own user table.
Anyway, I will leave it as is for now and maybe come back and try one of the other options.
The only problem I can see now is that to add users i will need to go through all the steps of adding users in glassfish and web.xml... Is there a way to do this through a servlet or something so I can have a jsp page to add users that also creats all the other bits for it to work?
Thanks everyone for your help

Unable to push user profiles to AD groups with Profile Manager since upgrade to Server v3

Since upgrading our OS X Mac server from 10.8.5 to 10.9.1, and OS X Server app to v3 (now 3.0.2) I have been unable to push or modify user profiles to AD groups (or AD users) using Profile Manager. This was working fine on OS X 10.8.5. Pushing device profiles is still working OK after the upgrade.
From what I can see from the logs on the client side and server side, it seems related to a problem with the mdm authtoken.
In the client console I can see this entry:
27/01/14 14:30:15.844 mdmclient[38557]: *** ERROR *** [Agent:636102071] Unable to proceed with connection to: https://ourserver.ourdomain/devicemanagement/api/device/mdm_connect (com.apple.mdmconfig.mdm) because don't have valid MDM AuthToken
On the server, in the php.log I can see the corresponding attempt to authenticate:
1::Jan 27 14:29:50.930 [158] <192.168.28.171> {require_once (mdm_checkin.php:11)} vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv - PUT mdm_checkin

So I can see there is a failure to authenticate, but don't really know how to troubleshoot this further. Or maybe this is just a bug in the new server app?
I have tried to remove and re-enroll clients in Profile Manager but no joy there.
In the client's Keychain I can see an MDM user AuthToken linked to the correct user account.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions

I just wanted to update my post, as this issue for me is resolved.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the Server.app on our Mac server, since then I've been able to push profiles to AD Users and Groups. I guess that in my case the Server app got into a bit of a mess when it was upgraded to v3.
Now the next headache I have is that my AD Groups which are displayed in Profile Manager are not syncing any recent changes. I think I'm probably seeing the same issue as described in this post
