GDM requires password for a user even if one isn't set

Okay, GDM (more likely Pam) is pissing me off. HOW oh how do I get it to allow users to login without a password?
I can login to a console as "guest" without a password, so I know one's not set, but GDM prompts me for a password everytime.
How do I get GDM to NOT require a password???

I finally found a solution on the ubuntu forums: looks like you can do this:
/etc/pam.d/gdm
#%PAM-1.0
auth requisite pam_nologin.so
auth required pam_env.so
auth sufficient pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow file=/etc/gdm/nopassusers.txt onerr=fail
auth required pam_unix.so
account required pam_unix.so
session required pam_limits.so
session required pam_unix.so
password required pam_unix.so
and then put your users (1 per line) in the specified file (/etc/gdm/nopassusers.txt).

Adobe Reader Pro 9 requires password for every user after seciurity updates?

Everytime I installe any Adobe Reader Pro seciurity updates like 9.4.3 and 9.4.4 on our Macs 10.6.6 and 10.6.7,
I had to input admin password for every user as reader is stoppng on install updates screen,
We have some hotmacs that are shared so it's a bit of a pain. Users don't have admin acess
to be able to install software on them.
How do I resolve this?
Here's what I tried. None of these things resolved the problem for me.
Repair disk permissions.
Restart the Mac.
Repair Adobe installation

Hi Sorry, the product in qusitons is Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.4 and 9.3.4 updates.
If you launch Acrobat Pro as the admin user, then authorise when requested, does that fix the problem for all users?
Or does this happen every time, for each user?
It does prompt for password for every user, thefore my flustration we have multiple editors using a Hotmac.
And we have to enter the password at least one time for every user after stupid seciurity update.
Presumably, Acrobat is trying to write to a location that Standard users don't have permission for.
Standard users don't have admin access to Mac but still I find adobe behevior very annoying.
I think this is normal enterpirse practise.
What happens if you allow write access to the Acrobat application folder and subcontents? Make sure you know what you're doing and how to restore it.
Would try this but still I would expect adobe to fix it updates.
Thanks,

You could download and install RCDefaultApp 2.1 for all users: check the Read Me and then test it on something to see if it accomplishes what you want.

Two things. First, I'm not exactly sure what password you are trying to
change. The LDAP server's password or a user's password in the LDAP
server. Second, could you please post a stack trace.
Thanks - Neil

Hai,
This condition based execution requires - javascript coding.
In miscelleaneous tools bar, you have an option of SCRIPT_ITEM writer tool, drag the tool into your WAD layout, and select the properties , choose the editor option and paste your coding. that's it.
Alternate option :
in your web application design layout , you will fine XHTML coding editor , there you need to write coding and execute the same.
Hope this will help to you.

GRC 10: Initial password for multiple users creation in a ARQ request???

Hi All,
I was trying to create a request in ARQ for multiple users. I noticed that, I could add all the necessary required information for multiple users using the template. I added the roles as well. However, I could not set the initial password for multiple users as the tab "User System Details" (where the initial password is provided for a single user) is disabled!!!
The users were successfully created in the R/3 system. However, due to non-availability of initial password, these users could not log into the R/3 system.
May I know how to set the initial password for multiple users?
Regards,
faisal

Vit,
I was trying to test this multiple user creation scenario. But I am surprise to get a template where in I have only below mentioned fields:
1. User Name
2. User Id
3. Email
I filled these details and uploaded. Then filled the "User Access" details. While submitting the request, I got the error:
"Last name is not mentioned for user id XXX"
But there is not such column in provided template by GRC!
I added 2 columns: First Name and Last Name and saved it and uploaded again. These details are not picked up!
Following are the only columns shown:
1. User Name
2. User Id
3. Email
4. Manager
Out of above, only "Manager" field is editable and others are disabled.
Last time I remember, I has got complete template with all the columns. Unfortunately, I have deleted it and not available with me now.
Any idea you have why am I getting such incomplete template?

faisal

Password for RFC USer

Hi experts,
We need to set the password for RFC User in small letters.But we are not able to do it ,because of our 'login/*' parameter values.
Is there is any other method to create the password for User ID with small letters(Ex:welcome,hello)?

I tried to talk about is as per the ongoing discussion topic i.e. Case sensitiveness of Passwords and not other attributes. So from this point of view there is no such separate rule applies during admin imposed password or during a change (the cases where system prompts for changing password).

May be.. but of course need more information and purpose of such strictness for setting such password. Also the FM PASSWORD_FORMAL_CHECK can be used with required customizations but you are the best person to tell this properly.

If I were you I would try to troubleshoot your connection with itunes ON the system. But for starters it is very unlikely one program like itunes blocks your connection, so I would try to disable your antivirus/firewall during download and reinstall of itunes. May be your firewalll kicks in some panic mode. Judging by your name you have very strong firewall

Firefox is not prompting to save password for specific user on specific site. How can I correct this?

I am using saved passwords feature. The site in question is a common webmail site. I have more than one account for this site. Usernames and passwords for each account were stored in Firefox 'Remember Passwords' feature. I unintentionally deleted one entry from the dropdown list that is displayed when I go to the site's login page. Now, when I log in to this account, Firefox will not prompt to save the password. If I display my saved passwords list, there are entries for the other accounts on this site, but none for the user account in question. The Saved Passwords 'Exceptions' list is empty. How can I get Firefox to re-prompt to save the password for this user on this site? (Note: When I speak of 'user', I am not referring to user account on the PC or a specific Firefox user profile.)

I am using Avast free version. Today I removed the LAN cable out of the 24 port switching hub and plugged directly into the router port. Now the program runs fast when checking for emails. Looks like all the emails are showing up. I do have other computers plugged into the switching hub with no problems. The hub is brand new. My thinking is the cable connector might be to blame. I will try re-crimping the wires. As for now, things are running good. I will keep investigating. Thanks

How can I change the password for the USER in SAP.

How can I change the password for the USER in SAP?
also I want to change the Language and date Format b/c it's displaying in German language..

Hi,
Assuming that User has already his/her user-id and password, and now he/ she wants to change it.
select the client and provide Log-in credentials. Now, instead of 'ENTER' there is one Tab: 'New Password' (up, left hand). Click it.
Now, system will ask for new password to change.
If you are asking from Basis point of view, then T.code: SU01 - User Maintenance.
Enter User's id and Click Change icon.
It will lead to Page: Maintain User.
Here, Select tab: Logon Data
There is a Sub-Tab: Password.
Here, key-in change password and SAVE.
For Language and Date format, contact your Basis-Personnel.
Best regards,
Amit

Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program

Hi friends,
Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program by specifying client number and user id. in selection screen.
if any code for that to reset password please mail me.
Thanks & Regards,
Yogesh

Hello Yogesh,
Yes you can reset the password for any body using ABAP Code. But for that you really don't need any client number.
If this process is on regular basis, then recommended is to use BAPI for changing the user details Otherwise BDC also works fine.
=> Function Module - BAPI_USER_CHANGE
Call this in the program for resetting the password.
=> CALL TRANSACTION 'SU01' USING InternalTable
This will be executed in the BDC of SU01 transaction recording. Use the Password Change button in the application toolbar of transaction while recording.
Hope this helps.
PS If the answer solves your query, plz close the thread by marking it solved and rewarding each reply.

How to set Password for Xellerate user in OIM

I am using recon API's and creating Xellerate user, unfortunately the recon is not accepting USR_PASSWORD which is the field name defined in OIM
Can somebody please let me know how to set this password for Xellerate user??
Thank you in advance for your response. (this is go-live issue you know what that means :-)

Hi,
If you are doing reconciliation and trying to reconcile the password as well. Then you must map the Resource Object attribute for the password field to the 'Identity' field of OIM. You can find this field in the 'Reconciliation Field Mappings' section for Xellerate User. Just map the field which you want to be set as OIM user password in the section and you are done.

What is the password for 'oracle' user created during XE installation?

Hi,
What is the password for 'oracle' user automatically created when XE is installed?
I installed XE on Linux and it's created under 'oracle' user, but I don't know 'oracle' password. So, I cannot stop TNS listener.
During configuration, it prompted me to enter SYS and SYSADMIN password but it didn't ask me to enter 'oracle' user password.
Please let me know or point me to the document.
Thanks,
N

Hi Jari,
I tried your suggestion, but it didn't work unfortunately.
When I type (sudo su -oracle) as follows, it still prompts the password. When I hit Enter key w/o anything, it seems to proceed and the prompt shows up in the following line. So, I thought it was successful, but when I checked 'whoami', it's not logged in as 'oracle'.
So, I created the password for 'oracle' and logged in as 'oracle' using a new password. Then, I stopped TNS listener to uninstall XE.
It would be nice if it's documented in XE document somewhere... since it's created by XE installation, I assumed some kind of default password was used.
Thanks,
N

If you're in the Users pane of the server app, and you select Network Users from the drop-down near the top, there's a small padlock icon at the bottom. Is it locked or open? If locked, click it and enter credentials into the authorisation box that opens
