Forcing users to logout

I have 3 family members who each have an account on our G4 Mac Mini. No matter how many times I tell them, they always leave multiple memory hogging applications open (multiple instances of Safari, iTunes, Word, Entourage etc.) open and the machine slows to a crawl. As the family admin, is there any way they can be auto-logged out after a certain amount of idle time or some way they can be forced to quit out of apps or any suggestions? Nobody listens to me, but if they were somehow forced to quit out of apps, then maybe they'd develop good habits and stop complaining to me about how slow the machine is. Thoughts?

Hi octafish!
In System Preferences > Accounts > Your Admin Account > Login Options: uncheck Enable fast user switching.
You will have to unlock the preference panel, before you can select Login Options.

Dreamweaver Server Bahavior, User Authentication, Logout User Problem

Hi! I want to add a 'logout user' functionality to the PHP
page using Server Behavior, User Authentication, Logout User option
in Dreamweaver CS3.
I highlight the text, Logout, then clicked on the above
mentioned option and I get an error message:
While executing onLoad in Log Out User.htm, the following
JavaScript error(s) occurred:
At line 603 of file "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver
CS3\Configuration\Shared\Controls\Script\TagMenu.js": The object is
not currently contained in a document.
In the Log Out User form, the "link clicked" is blank and
"when done" is not selectable.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

Hi! I'm not using Javascript. I'm using PHP to log in and log
out a user. The log in implementation works fine. It's the log out
that is giving me problems.
Below is the code:
<?php
if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
session_start();
$MM_authorizedUsers = "admin";
$MM_donotCheckaccess = "false";
// *** Restrict Access To Page: Grant or deny access to this
page
function isAuthorized($strUsers, $strGroups, $UserName,
$UserGroup) {
// For security, start by assuming the visitor is NOT
authorized.
$isValid = False;
// When a visitor has logged into this site, the Session
variable MM_Username set equal to their username.
// Therefore, we know that a user is NOT logged in if that
Session variable is blank.
if (!empty($UserName)) {
// Besides being logged in, you may restrict access to only
certain users based on an ID established when they login.
// Parse the strings into arrays.
$arrUsers = Explode(",", $strUsers);
$arrGroups = Explode(",", $strGroups);
if (in_array($UserName, $arrUsers)) {
$isValid = true;
// Or, you may restrict access to only certain users based
on their username.
if (in_array($UserGroup, $arrGroups)) {
$isValid = true;
if (($strUsers == "") && false) {
$isValid = true;
return $isValid;
$MM_restrictGoTo = "denied.html";
if (!((isset($_SESSION['MM_Username'])) &&
(isAuthorized("",$MM_authorizedUsers, $_SESSION['MM_Username'],
$_SESSION['MM_UserGroup'])))) {
$MM_qsChar = "?";
$MM_referrer = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (strpos($MM_restrictGoTo, "?")) $MM_qsChar = "&";
if (isset($QUERY_STRING) && strlen($QUERY_STRING)
> 0)
$MM_referrer .= "?" . $QUERY_STRING;

RE: Force user to re-login if the application is idle for awhile!

Hi,
I a similar thing a little while ago for an application written in a 4gl (not Forte) running
windows 95 clients. I ended up dropping out to "C" and using the SDK to install
hooks which monitored certain mouse and keyboard events to the application.
It ended up being less than 10 lines of code in the end whereas when I tried
to do it within the 4gl it was looked like wholesale changes to lots of code.
This option fell down when the user was reading their help file or updating
a word document so we added a pop-up which came up at the front of all applications
on the PC giving the user a further minute to respond so as not to annoy the genuine
user who was still "there" but doing something else.
I have not had the chance to try this in Forte yet but it should be possible.
If you think this might be an option for you I will try and cobble together an
example.

Subject: Force user to re-login if the application is idle for a while!
Hi;
For some security reasons, it requires our Forte application to force user to
re-log into the application if the user doesn't use this application for 10
minutes. The problem and difficulty to us is that how to determine there is no
activity going on for this application on the client's PC.
Any thought and ideas will be greatly appreciated!

How to force user to enter supplier/customer name in captial letters in R12

Dear all,
Could anyone pls advise how to force user to enter supplier/customer name in captial letters in R12? Can I do it using OA framework personalization?
HY

Pl post exact versions of OS and EBS.
The ability to do this exists in forms (professional user interface) using forms personalization, but does not exist in the OAF (self-service) interface, AFAIK. See related MOS Doc 399892.1 (Is It Possible To Restrict Employee Name Entry To All Upper Case in the PUI And SSHR ?) for some details.
Pl confirm by opening an SR with Support.

Forcing user to enter values at table level

Hi,
I have created a table ztest. How to force user to enter the values for certain fields in the table which are not keys, similar to not null in RDBMS. selecting the initial values filed in SE11 populates with some default value, but it doesnt force the user to enter the value.
Regards,
Raghu

Hi,
Just check out transaction code SE54 for events.
Go in SE54.
Give your table name.
Go in Environment --> Events.
Here add the Event '01' i.e. Before saving the data.
Give the name for event eg 'BEFORE_SAVE'.
Click on Editor to create an include program.
In the include program write
form before_save.
data: f_index like sy-tabix. "Index to note the lines
loop at total.
    if <action> = 'N' or <action> = 'U'.
      read table extract with key <vim_xtotal_key>.
      if sy-subrc eq 0.
        f_index = sy-tabix.
      else.
        clear f_index.
      endif.
      "(make desired changes to the line TOTAL)
      "End of Modification.
      modify total.
      check f_index gt 0.
      extract = total.
      modify extract index f_index.
    endif.
endloop.
sy-subrc = 0.
endform.
Note here in field symbol 'Total' your workarea will be their. You can make necessary checks here.
Or else you can go for making a custom transaction for your requirement.

Force user to connect to specific Persistent Chat server

We plan to have 2 persistent chat servers in a single pool that will span 2 sites.
1 Persistent Chat server in Site A
1 Persistent Chat server in Site B
Is there a way to force users in Site A to connect to the Persistent Chat server in Site A and for users in Site B to connect to the Site B Persistent Chat server?

That is possible.
For example, you have on DNS server DC01 in site A, and you only have a DNS A record point to the IP address of persistent chat server in site A, then you use DC01 as the DNS server for users in site A.
You have on DNS server DC02 in site B, and you only have a DNS A record point to the IP address of persistent chat server in site B, then you use DC02 as the DNS server for users in site B.
But it is not recommended. If one persistent server is down, users in one site won’t have group chat feature.

Force user to enter text if checks YES check box

I have created a form with YES and NO check boxes. If user checks YES, they need to provide written reason. Is there a way to "force" user to enter text into text box if they check the YES check box?
Thanks,
Toyro

Hi Jodi,
Yes, it has to be saved as a dynamic PDF.
Additionally, there are some name mismatches in your form so the script was failing. My script defined page 1 as 'page1' while your form defined page 1 as 'Page1'. I renamed your form page 1 to 'page1' and the script worked fine.
I would recommend enabling the debugger in Acrobat for form developement. See Edit > Preferences and enable the following:
I added an additional button with some script on the button 'click' event.
The purpose is to intervene in the submission process, in your case submitting by email. With a single submit button the email dialogue fires regardless of failed form validation. By introducing a second button you can do form validation before enabling submission. The attached form has a visible button called 'submitBtn' and your original 'Submit By Email' button which is declared as 'invisible'. My 'submitBtn' is labelled 'Submit By Email'. When the button is clicked is does form validation. If validation succeeds, I call form1.page1.Button1.execEvent("click"); to submit to the email address attached to 'Button1'.
Take a look and see if it fits your requirements.

Forcing users to select existing properties in New User Request form

Hi,
We have just started using Service Manager and Orchestrator. So far we have successfully managed to create user accounts using orchestrator and service manager. Now we want to start forcing users to utilise the information we already have in
our existing Active Directory environment.
So for example, in the new user request form we want users to select an existing "office" using the attributes already in Active Directory as opposed to allowing them to type in an office and potentially accidentally misspelling the office name.
What we would like to see is a unique list of offices and a user to select
How can this be achieved? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Well, if you don't want to create a list manually, create a sealed management pack that defines the root of the new enumerator. Then create a workflow that will pull all users from AD, build the list of the locations used in AD and update the child enumerators
if required.
Cheers,

Force users to view multiple items before moving on

In it's most basic form this is what I need to do.
I'll have three boxes. When the user clicks box A another box will appear containing a descrption of box A. When the user clicks box B, description box A will need to disappear and description box B will appear, etc. I think I know how to handle this portion using advanced actions, but is there a way to force users to view all 3 boxes before they can advance to the next slide? I think it should be able to be done in advanced actions but I'm not sure how to write something like that.

Nothing to apologize for.
the action looks good to me.
So your button is showing the language image, the language close button, then hiding some other things. The expression you have is right.
Your hide_languageDefinition adv action does the hide for the img_language. Instead of a 'standard action' you need a conditional action similar to your show_FDCPA_nextButton action you have above.
In that conditional screen where it says "untitled" you can have the action do several things. You'll need it to hide your img_language and the btn_languageClose like you have already. Since you want it to do the show/hide no matter what you can set it like this:
Action Type: Conditional action
Action Name: hide_languageDefintion
If:
(choose literal from the drop down)
Type a 1 in the text field
(choose 'is equal to' from the drop down)
(choose literal from the next drop down)
type a 1 in the text field.
You're saying "if 1=1, then do the actions below" 1 is always going to equal 1 so it's always going to run the actions.
Under actions put all your show/hide statements like you have above in hide_languageDefition
I suggest changing that 'untitled' name to something that makes sense to you.
Click on the next 'untitled' tab and add the conditional if/then statement like you have above in show_FDCPA_nextButton.
Find your languageClose button, and set it to run this advanced action.
What the action will do now is runs the hide actions you have. Then it looks at each variable to see if it is greater or equal to 1. if they're all true, then it shows the next button.
hope that makes sense; i can't attach screen shots from work, i apologize I can't help more.
As for variables, this recorded session might help you: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/event/index.cfm?event=register_no_session&id=1891451&loc=en_u s
picture a variable as a container.. a jar. That jar has a label and you can write anything you want on it (the name of the variable). That jar can contain 'stuff.' numbers, words, whatever you want to put in it. You can also manipulate what's in there with different functions of captivate. So let's say in your case I want to track if a learner clicks a button.
So I have my jar, and when the learner clicks a button I take a piece of blank paper, write a "1" on the paper and put it back in the jar. If they click that button again, I take out that paper, see a '1' on it, and I add 1 to it, and write '2' on the paper (this is your expression above 'btn_abussive_harassing_language = btn_abussive_harassing_language + 1').
When I'm closing the image, I pull out the jar, and look at the paper. If the paper has a 1 or higher written on it, I show the next button (after checking all 3 jars, that is).
That's the quick version of what variables are and how they work, I hope that helps.

Select List with Submit refreshes page to top force users to scroll down

Hello All,
I have Dependent Select List where this functionality driving select list submit values to a subsequent select list.
The "Select List with Submit" refreshes page where the unintended by-product is page refresh, which returns to top of page and therefore force users to scroll back down.
In other words: I have a long form page where I have a Dependent Select List. So when you change the value of the 1st select list it refreshes the 2nd. This is all fine, but when the refresh occurs, the Form-focus returns to the top of page. This makes the users scroll back down to the lower end of the Form where they left off. This would make usability problems for users.
Anyway we can make the Form return where to the area(Item or Region) where the user was during the selection of the Select List?
Thanks in advance,
Konstantine

HURRAY!! I got it to work perfectly using anchors. I am adding this message to help future ApEx developers.
I have been searching the Forum for 3 days and have read numerous postings. There was a lot of good discussion on anchors and linking from page to page. But, nothing exactly like my situation.
Situation: Have a page, PG4, with a button, PG4_BUTTON, that redirects to a different page, PG7. PG4_BUTTON has its 'Display In Region' field set to PG4_REGION. When PG4 is run and the form displays, the PG4_BUTTON is located at the bottom. When the user would click PG4_BUTTON, the user would be taken to PG7. (this is good) The user enters some data in PG7 fields and then clicks a create button, PG7_BUTTON. PG7_BUTTON would submit data. An After Processing, Go To Page, Branch would be activated when this button was pressed and then the user would be returned to a refreshed PG4, at the top. This forces the user each time to have to scroll down to the bottom of PG4 to continue. (this is NOT good)
Solution: On PG4, I edited the region, PG4_REGION. For the region 'Title' I added an anchor before the actual name. So it looked like this:
{a name="REGION_TO_RETURN_TO"></a}PG4_REGION
please note: where I have the curly braces above '{' '}' you need to put < the pointed and '>'
Next, on PG7, I edited the Branch. On the 'Edit Branch' page, in the 'Action' region, I changed the 'Target type' field from 'Page in this Application' to 'URL'.
To the 'URL Target' text area field I added this:
f?p=&APP_ID.:4:&SESSION.::::::#REGION_TO_RETURN_TO
So, there you have it. If you still need to read other postings, here are a couple of the sites I read:

How to force users to enter their ID and password ?

I am considering installing AirPort Extreme at our office. We don't want guests connecting to our network. is there any option/software that will force the guest to enter an ID and password to connect to our network ? This is similar to what happens at the hotels when we try to connect to hotel's network.

How to force users to enter their ID and password?
is there any option/software that will force the guest to enter an ID and password to connect to our network ? This is similar to what happens at the hotels when we try to connect to hotel's network.
The AirPort Extreme does not have the features necessary to create a "splash page" that provides basic information about the company and asks users for their identity and password....like you see at most hotels.
Basically, with an AirPort Extreme, users would have to scan to look for the name of the wireless network to join, and then enter the password to connect.
The best that you might be able to achieve with the AirPort Extreme is create a "hidden" network, which would require that users know both the name of the wireless network and password to connect. However, based on experience, this might be more of a hassle than anything else.
The bottom line.....Apple really designed the AirPort routers for home use, so that might be the best place for them in most cases.

Force users to view all rollovers before moving to next screen

Hello,
In Captivate 7 is it possible to force users to view all of the rollover items before allowing them to move onto the next screen?
Thanks,

There are a couple of options. Rollover captions and rollover image objects are unable to trigger advanced actions on rollover, but you CAN do this with rollover slidelets. So you could set up variables and advanced actions to track whether or not the user has viewed all rollovers at least once before showing a button that allows them to navigate to the next slide. If you want to avoid rollover slidelets (due to all the issues they bring) you can use Event Handler widgets from Infosemantics. Attach the widgets to the rollover caption or rollover images and this allows you to trigger advanced actions but with much more flexibility than with slidelets.
One caveat. None of these solutions work in HTML5.

JavaScript: Force user to type numbers

I want to force user to type only numbers in a number field. Following function detects the character that user pressed. Now i have to somehow ignore that key if is not number. Seems this function must return something to prevent to populate the field with the key, if it�s not number. I tried
return false; in function but doesn�t work. Please advice me to complete this function.
<SCRIPT>
function keyPressed(dataType){
if ((dataType=="Number") && ("0123456789".search(String.fromCharCode(event.keyCode))>-1)){
alert(�key is number�);
} else alert(�key is not number�);
</SCRIPT>
<input onKeyPress="keyPressed('<%=type%>')">

Thanks and works.
Another javascript question:
Following is sample code for 10 rows with radio and text input box. I want to check the radio when the textbox in the same row got Focus. How could I do this.
<%for (int i=0; i<10; i++){%>
<tr>

<td><input onfocus="�"/></td>
</tr>
