Extending the transactionsigner applet to prompt for user's pin

Has anyone used the transactionsigner applet in IDM to capture the user's pin associated with the smart card? The sample provider class in the REF kit hints at the need to prompt for a pin but there doesn't seem to be a built in mechanism of the applet to prompt the user.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Scott

Best solution is to create an account that is exclusive to binding machines. By doing this, you can embed the user name and password in the script. Heck, you can post it on your website. If the account is configured properly, it will only be able to create machine records in a defined container. If you are mixing Macs and PCs in your AD domain, I also recommend creating an isolated container for your Mac records. Now, the account has even less access rights as you can make it so it only has rights to the Mac container.
Otherwise, ARD does not prompt. You can play around with an expect script but the reality is that you are still embedding the credentials in the script so it really does not achieve what you want. ARD is not an interactive shell scripting tool. It is more a fire and forget.

EAP-TLS, Certificates for the machine...prompt for the user?

I've got a wireless network made up of AP1200s and I'm testing EAP-TLS. I have the cert piece working but I would also like the users to be prompted for a user/pass upon association. Is that going to far?
If not; how do I set it up? I also want to make sure that they are not prompted each time they roam to a new AP if they were previously authenticated.

I think if you leave the username/password fields blank, the system will prompt you for them.
There might even be a checkbox for "Prompt for User Name" (gonna depend on the client software & nic).
Good Luck

ADF security - prompt for user id and password again on page forward

Hi,
I am working with ADF using JDeveloper 10.1.3 with Business Components and ADF Faces.
I have a Search page and a List page.
Both pages are based on the same view within the same application module.
The Search page is using the default Find and Execute Operations.
The Execute button has an action that navigate to the List screen.
faces-config.xml
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/jspx/search.jspx</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>search</from-outcome>

<redirect/>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
Security (Roles and Users) is based on the jazn-data.xml and web.xml
URL Patterns for the pages have assigned to the role.
Login Configuration is HTTP Digest Authentication

Everything is fine when running the application from JDeveloper,
but when the application is deployed to the server (OC4J),
After logging into the system, the Search page prompt for user id and password again
on click of the Execute button.
Have anyone experience this problem before?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
does the same thing happen if you change your protected resource from:

Prompt for user profile photos

Hi,
When we try to open any page in SharePoint with intranet users' pics in it, sometimes it prompts for user name and password and that to many times not once. So if I provide the username and password then it allows me to see the profile pics in the
page otherwise shows a "x" on the picture.
I want to know why this happens for some pics only not all?

Hi ,
What do you mean intranet users' pics?
Does your MySite Host site have different FQDN from your SharePoint site?
Please check if adding MySite url in IE browser trusted sites zone could work.
If it still doesn't work, please check ULS log see if there is any related error for any clue when access the SharePoint page containing intranet users pics.
Thanks

"catching" a prompt for user input and answering it through zenity?

I'm trying to write a script (or multiple scripts) that will allow me to use command-line only applications via user defined actions in my file manager without having to open a terminal. Now I realize this basic functionality is already available, but as it stands I am unable to respond to command-line prompts for user input without opening a terminal. Is it possible to write a shell script that would act as a wrapper and allow me to use zenity (or another popup program) to respond to such queries?
For example if I used a command-line program that prompted me for a password, could I "catch" that prompt with a shell script and answer it through another program, such as zenity?
Last edited by falconheart (2011-01-16 22:37:25)

The easier way to do this is to collect the info with zenity first, then pass it on the command line. If the program insists on prompting, then you could try feeding it the info with redirection if it accepts it from stdin. For example
command < info.txt
where info.txt is a temp file created by your script which contains whatever you want entered into the prompts. This will work in some cases.

How to prompt for user input in Forms

How do I prompt for user input in Forms?
I am writing a piece of code where the user may choose, by clicking either of three buttons on an alert, to have the system assign a value to a variable, to input a value or to do neither?
If the user chooses to input the value I want to update a set of database fields with the value.
I have thought about showing a view where the value may be entered into a field displayed on that view. The value will be assigned to the variable by the user clicking a command button. The question I have in this case though, is whether, after the command button is clicked, control will be passed back to the code that called the view in the first place?

Desgordon,
This can be accomplished by displaying your message to the user using an Alert. I use 3 different Alerts (Note, Caution and Stop) in my forms and they are inherited from a central source file (such as an Object Library or a Template Form) so they can be used by all of my Forms. You can set the text of the Alert using the SET_ALERT_PROPERTY() built-in and capture what button the user presses with the SHOW_ALERT() built-in. Additionally, if you need more than one button to be displayed in an alert, you use the SET_ALERT_BUTTON_PROPERTY() built-in to rename the default button or to add up to a total of three buttons in the alert. Here's an example:
DECLARE
   Alert_ID       ALERT;
   v_AlertType    VARCHAR2(10) := 'CAUTION';
   v_AlertTitle     VARCHAR2(25);
   v_AlertText    VARCHAR2(150);
   n_AlertButton NUMBER;
BEGIN
   v_AlertTitle := 'Title of Alert';
   v_AlertText := 'This is message to the user.';
   /* Code leading up to the decision point. */
   alert_id := FIND_ALERT(v_AlertType);
   /* Note: I only set the Label of Button 2 because the default button 1 label is 'OK' */
   SET_ALERT_BUTTON_PROPERTY(v_AlertType, ALERT_BUTTON2, LABEL, 'Cancel');
   SET_ALERT_PROPERTY(Alert_ID, v_AlertTitle, v_AlertText);
   n_AlertButton := SHOW_ALERT(Alert_ID);
/* Now I can test the value of n_AlertButton for 1 or 2 to find out what button the user selected. */
IF ( n_AlertButton = 1 ) THEN
     /* Do something, because the user selected 'OK' */
ELSE
     /* It is assumed at this point that the user selected 'CANCEL' */
     /* Stop processing any further. */
     RAISE form_trigger_error;
END IF;
END:Hope this helps.

But if you call your procedure in that button then yes 'control will be passed back to the code'...

CR prompts for user credentials after refresh even though I'm using SSO

Hello Experts,
We have a problem with a customeru2019s project concerning Crystal Reportu2019s Single Sign On feature:
Even though weu2019re using SSO, Crystal Reports prompts for user credentials every time a refresh is performed manually in the browser.
We already checked SAP note [1214594 - How to avoid database login prompts when refreshing reports in Crystal Reports|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap%28bd1lbizjptawmq==%29/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313334333533393334%7D.do]. The note suggests using Microsoft Windows authentication (trusted connection or operating system authentication) u2013 unfortunately we cannot use this kind of authentication in our project.
Do you have any hint, idea or suggestions?
Thank you in advance!

Hello,
What kind of Project are you developing? Search for Post Back in the SDK forum and Kbase system so you can keep the log on token active. Likely what is happening is the Token or connection times out after 20 minutes, which is IIS's default timeout. Using the postback method is one way of keeping the SSO connection active.
Thank you
Don

How to disable Office 2010 Upgrade Policy prompts for users in a Remote Desktop environment

I have deployed Office 2010 to our Terminal Server.
When users login to their Remote Desktops and start Office apps they are greeted with making choices for Upgrade Policies:
Recommended
Only Updates
Don't Make Any Changes
How can I centrally manage this policy and disable this prompt for users?

Hi,
From the description, what you mentioned is the Opt-in or First things first prompt when you launch Office program for the first time.
If you want to disable the prompt, we can use Office Customization Tool or Group Policy to achieve this goal. For more information, please refer to the following blog:

How to extend the JVue applet class using ActiveX Control

My SR recommendation was to post this here:
) How to Extend the JVue Applet class
This is the preferred solution. However, when using the ActiveX control, my derived JVue class that is specified in autovue.properties is not being instantiated.
Your ActiveX bridge looks like it's hard coding a "new JVue()" which means I have no integration hook using the ActiveX control.
To reiterate, if I extend JVue to add functionality and specify it in the autovue.properties, it is picked up when I run it standalone but if I use the ActiveX component, it is not being picked up.
I have already read all the documentation, have had web conferences with Mahmood and Jeff Chapman and the engineering staff who recommended this approach as the preferred option.

We have a need to override certain VueBean/JVue method calls to meet our document handling(documents need to handle metadata information and hence change the document loading cycle, ie markup loading/XRef resolution is dynamic). Also the invokeAction/invokeSubAction do not allow parameter passing(which we have requirements for certain actions again due to metadata) so we would like to override the invokeAction method to include custom processing(we will encode the action with parameters).
We are already using Custom VueActions for other simpler UI event handling that don't have parameter requirements.
As I said above, these use cases were relayed to the engineering team and senior staff members in early December and we were told that we could proceed with overriding the main class in the autovue.properties file. I have SR(s) opened with a long thread detailing this so I really don't want to go through this again.
A custom VueAction does not seem to work because it binds to late in the object call/event stream.

How to Prompt for User/Pass Running Shell Script Remotely through ARD

So I finally got my Active Directory Script working! However, I realized that I'm not the only one going to be running this script and to have my user name and password in the script itself is beyond foolish. While I know it's possible just to have whoever's running the script to manually add their username and password, I'd prefer to have prompts to make things easier for the rest of my team.
Here's my current script. I've tested it on the machine I'm connecting to Active Directory and it works fine if you run it on the machine itself in terminal. However, I'm going to be doing this on about 150 machines and the whole point of the script is to do it remotely.
#! /bin/bash
MACNAME=$(scutil --get ComputerName)
read -p "User Name: " USER
read -p "Password for $USER: " PASS
dsconfigad -add "CORP.DOMAIN.NET" \
-username $USER \
-password $PASS \
-computer $MACNAME \
-mobile disable \
-mobileconfirm disable \
-localhome enable \
-useuncpath enable \
-shell /bin/bash \
-ou OU=Macs,CN=Computers,DC=corp,DC=DOMAIN,DC=net \
-force \
-localpassword "PASSWORD" \
-groups "GROUPS"
When I run the UNIX script through ARD to a machine, I get no prompts for USER or PASS. In fact, it gives me the following error "dsconfigad: Authentication server encountered an error while attempting the requested operation. (5202)" So it's not asking for a user name and password.
Is there any way to make a shell script prompt you for a User Name and Password when you're sending commands remotely through ARD? Or is there another way to do this?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
-rks

Best solution is to create an account that is exclusive to binding machines. By doing this, you can embed the user name and password in the script. Heck, you can post it on your website. If the account is configured properly, it will only be able to create machine records in a defined container. If you are mixing Macs and PCs in your AD domain, I also recommend creating an isolated container for your Mac records. Now, the account has even less access rights as you can make it so it only has rights to the Mac container.
Otherwise, ARD does not prompt. You can play around with an expect script but the reality is that you are still embedding the credentials in the script so it really does not achieve what you want. ARD is not an interactive shell scripting tool. It is more a fire and forget.

Prompting for User name/Password after I close the KM document

Hi All,
When I open a KM document and close it, I am prompted with the authentication window to enter username/password. It was all fine. But for the past few days, I am getting the enter network password prompt. This happens only for word document. PPT and PDFs doesn't promt for password.
The weblog link in the thread https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?messageID=1965465#1965465 is not opening. Disabling sencondary authentication weblog is not available.
I am in NW04s EP 7.0 SP10
Can anyone please guide me to resolve this problem.?
Thanks & Regards,
Siva

Prompt for user name and password when opening an application like Internet Explorer

Hi
I often use Internet Explorer using "Run as different user". This is achieved by holding 'Shift' and right clicking the IE icon. This is the main reason why I use IE as my default browser is Chrome. Signing in as a different user
is helpful when troubleshooting/customising certain applications such as Dynamics CRM.
Is there away to force IE to always ask for credentials when I open it?
Marc Collins www.QGate.co.uk

Hi GTS-NJ
This was my first thought. The problem I found is it requires a particular user. I need to be flexible with the users I sign in with.
I may have the answer though. I have changed the security settings for trusted sites to always prompt for username and password. I have added my sites to trusted sites. Now when I browse to the site, it prompts me to sign in.

Why does Proxy Authentication prompt for user/pass on Win7 but not XP?

Trying to use NTLM authentication for our proxy through Firefox 7.0.1. It works great in Windows XP - the user doesn't ever get prompted for his username or password when going to the internet. However, when using the same settings with Windows 7 machines going to the same internet sites, they always get prompted for username and password. Is there a workaround for this? Is this a bug?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
