Group login

Can I send a unix command(or something else) from Apple Remote desktop that will cause a group of computers to login with the same name and password?

Try sending this script using root in the "Send Command As" field:
osascript <<EOF
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "<username>"
keystroke tab
delay 0.5
keystroke "<password>"
delay 0.5
keystroke return
keystroke return
end tell
EOF
substituting the approprate login name and password for the dummy information between the quotes (i.e. don't include the braces). Depending on the version of Mac OS X on the workstations, you may have to remove one of the "keystroke return" lines or add another one. This presumes that your workstations are set to display the login window as name and password rather than as a list of users. I haven't found a script that works when the users are shown as a list.
Regards.

Hi I do not want iTunes to open up automatically when I turn on my macbook pro. I tried going to System Preferences Users and Groups Login Items and then I took iTunes off the list but it still opens up automatically when I turn on my laptop.

Hi r,
Make sure you close iTunes before shutdown. And you're quite welcome.

I am trying to stop programs from opening automatically when I turn my computer on. I tried system preferences users and groups login items...then I deleted them from the list but it did nothing.

Switching Users to a Group Login

Hello:
I'm upgrading an Xserve from 10.2.8 to 10.4. When the server was originally set up every user was assigned a separate login. What I'd like to do is switch over to a single "designer" group login so that we won't have any issues with who created the file, I can't open or save the file etc.
How to do change all of the current files over to this group ownership?
What would be the best way to accomplish this task. All of the data is on a Xraid. There aren't any security issues so it doesn't matter who has access to any of the files on the data drives.
Thanks in advance,
Rick

In 10.4 you set priviledges using the WorkGroup Manager program.
Some of the problems you mention were most likely fixed between 10.2 and 10.4.
I suggest you test under 10.4 or you may end up creating a different set of permission problems for yourself.

How to redirect a certain group login in to another page apex oracle

so I'm kind of new to apex and If I had a log in page and a certain user logs in that belongs to a certain group... say customers? Well if they log in , it would redirect them to a customer application.. and this is what I'm currently trying to achieve but it doesn't work
This is my code, can you tell me why it doesn't work and a solution to it?
DECLARE
VAL BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
IF
VAL := APEX_UTIL.CURRENT_USER_IN_GROUP(p_group_name=> 'Customer')
RETURN TRUE
THEN
htp.init;
owa_util.redirect_url('f?p=&Custlogin.:1:&APP_SESSION.');
apex_application.stop_apex_engine;
END IF
END;

Where are you putting this code? In a Before Header section?
I can see there are some possible compilation issues with the code. I think you'd better use:
BEGIN
IF APEX_UTIL.CURRENT_USER_IN_GROUP(p_group_name=> 'Customer')
THEN
htp.init;
owa_util.redirect_url('f?p=&Custlogin.:1:&APP_SESSION.');
END IF;
END;
Anyway, I would use branches to achieve what you need in your page. One branch for each type of user you would like to redirect... so, for example sending user to page "x" if condition above is met:
-Condition Type=PL/SQL Expression
-Expression=APEX_UTIL.CURRENT_USER_IN_GROUP(p_group_name=> 'Customer')

Hunt Groups to login

Can you create a hunt group for multiple users to login in CM5.x so as to use it like a helpdesk environment and you can track whether the user has logged in or out of the queue. Any help would be great

Hi Satu,
Just to add a note to the great tips from Pam and James (+5 points each folks :)
Don't feel stupid my friend, there are so many acronyms in this business it will make your head spin :)
ACD = Automatic Call Distribution (calls are distributed between active/logged-in Agents)
This term relates to Call centre applications like UCCX.
As to Hunt Group Login/Logout, sadly this feature is only available CCM 4.2 and CUCM 6.x/7.x with the Login/Logout of Hunt Groups feature (as James nicely noted). This is not available in CCM 4.1.3 or 5.x. Have a look;
Log Out of Hunt Groups
The Log Out of Hunt Groups feature allows phone users to log their phones out from receiving calls that get routed to directory numbers that belong to line groups to which the phone lines are associated. Regardless of the phone status, the phone rings normally for incoming calls that are not calls to the line group(s) that are associated with the phone. The phone provides a visual status of the login state, so the user can determine by looking at the phone whether they are logged in to their line group(s).
The Log Out of Hunt Groups feature also comprises the following components:
The HLog softkey allows a phone user to log a phone out of all line groups to which the phone directory numbers belong. Configure the HLog softkey in the Softkey Layout Configuration window. When the user presses the HLog softkey, the phone screen displays "Logged out of Hunt Group." When the user presses the HLog softkey again to log back in and receive hunt group calls, the "Logged out of Hunt Group" notification on the phone screen clears.
The Hunt Group Logoff Notification service parameter in the Clusterwide Parameters (Device - Phone) section of the Service Parameters Configuration window for the Cisco CallManager service must be configured to enable this feature.
Hunt Group Logoff Notification Service Parameter
The Hunt Group Logoff Notification service parameter in the Clusterwide Parameters (Device - Phone) section of the Service Parameters Configuration window for the Cisco CallManager service provides the option to turn audible ring tones on or off when calls that come in to a line group arrive at the phone and the current status of the phone is logoff. The default value specifies None, which causes the phone not to ring.
The Log Out of Hunt Groups feature, which is device-based, operates differently for non-shared lines and for shared lines.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/admin/4_2_1/ccmsys/a03rp.html#wp1091630
In the CCM 4.1.x and 5.x trains there is really not an equivilant feature. The best you can do is probably using AC Hunt :(
Hope this helps a little!

HT204347 I CAN'T KEEP MY MACBOOK PRO FROM SHOWING APPLEMAIL WHEN I START UP. I HAVE GONE TO SYSTEM PREFERENCES, USERS AND GROUPS, AND THERE ARE NO LOGIN ITEMS LISTED. WHAT DO I DO?ERENCESS,

I cannot keep my computer from showing applemail mailboxes when I start up. When I go to system preferences, users and groups, login items nothing is listed. If I try listing mail and then restarting and deleting it, that does not work. What to do next?

System Preference > General
At the bottom of the section "Number of recent items"
uncheck the box next to "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
Best.

I just updated my MacBook pro early 2011 model to OSX 10.9 and was forced to create a new user(administrator) and ended up with a different configuration. If I login with my original user name everything is back. How can I get rid of the other user name?

I have two user names with Administrator privelages and my MacBook keeps booting up to the wrong one and I have the wrong configuration since I updated to OSX 10.9. I would like to get back to my original User name which I used to boot up to. When I go to the User Groups and Preferences it doesn't allow me to delete the un-wanted user.
Does anybody have any suggestions how I can fix this? I can't seem to recover Time Capsule back-ups prior to the OSX upgrade even though I have been faithfully backing up to a Time Machine.
Help please.

First of all, open System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options, and set your old user account in "Automatic login". By doing this, your computer will always log in with your old account.
Then, log in your old account, where you will be able to delete the new user that OS X Mavericks forced you to create. Other users have reported the same problem

My MacPro went to sleep in another language and now I can't Login

I DESPERATELY NEED SOME HELP. I had been working in a language different from my default keyboard when my computer went to sleep. When I tried to resume by typing my password, it would not accept my usual keystrokes. I assume that my computer is still in the other language. I tried restarting, but that didn't help. I don't recall typing my password in the different language so as to have changed the password to the other language characters. I thought I set-up a keyboard shortcut for changing languages. I think it is "command + space" and deleted the shortcut for "Spotlight." Yet, when I try to change keyboard languages at login, there is no change. My current situation is that I am locked-out of my computer because it rejects my password. PLEASE HELP!

What is the other keyboard you were using? If you provide the characters of your password, perhaps there is a way to make them with this other keyboard.
When you have access again, go to system preferences/users & groups/login options and check the box for Show Input Menu on Login Page.

How can I restrict Lion to only allow certain network users to login when bound to an Active Directory?

Hi,
I'm trying to find a way to configure which network users can login to a lab of iMacs running 10.7.4. They're being deployed using DeployStudio, and the Macs are bound to an MS Active Directory by a script that runs as part of the workflow. I'd like to have another script run after the AD binding to permit only users in certain AD groups to be able login to them.
I'm halfway there, in that using dseditgroup I can easily add AD groups or individual users to the relevant group (deseditgroup -o edit -a <domain\\group name> -t group com.apple.loginwindow.netaccounts. After running this I can see the desired groups added to the list in Sys Prefs -> Users & Groups -> Login Options -> Options. However, membership of this group is deemed irrelevant by the fact the radio button above this list for 'Allow these users to log in at login window' is still set to 'All network users' and not 'Only these network users'.
Does anyone know of a way to enable the 'Only these network users' option via the Terminal/a shell script?
Thanks,
Chris

I tried that, thinking it was exactly what I wanted, but it still sends stuff as SMS (green bubble).

Lion Server Setup (Network Login/Mobile Account and more...)

Hardware:
     Mac mini Intel Core i7, 2 GHz, 8 GB memory (Server)     x 1
     iMac 21.5" 2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 12 GB memory (Workstation)     x 6
Operating System:
    Mac OS X Server Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
     Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
Relevant Software:
     Server.app Version 10.7.4 (1.4.3)
     Workgroup Manager Version 10.7 (400.3)
     Server Admin Version 10.7 (355)
So my head's swimming with "I dunno's" and I've been perusing probably all the wrong threads trying not to sound like a noob and find the literature that will finally lead me to a solution. This is my first rodeo so make no assumptions about my experience (maybe).
Short Version
I can't login network users. I get an error "You are unable to log in to the user account "<%short_name%>" at this time. Logging in using >console tells me this No home directory: <path to home directory>    i.e. /Network/Servers/department.domain.com/Department/Accounts/bbunny
If anyone can point me where to read, I will do so.
Perhaps a longer discussion on how to verify that the proper permissions exist on the share/home directory in question and what those would be.
More detail...
I want to setup a Mac Mini server to have network login accounts stored on the 2nd data volume in a directory we shall call Accounts*. Here all the "network users/logins" have their home directories, so that when they login at the workstation the idea is the workstation will sync their account and allow them to login, if the server is not available, the hope is I can configure it to allow them to login if they've logged in before and the files will sync when they are able. That being the ideal, I get the impression that for best practices, Apple is discouraging the use of mobile accounts that use Home Sync perhaps because it's reliability has been iffy, please advise. A windows user might think of this as "roaming profiles" but, if I understand it, its a little more than that.
Note, I do not want to login to the server and actively work on that network share, I want the account to be local and sync'd as needed. But I want the user to be able to sit at any of the 6 other workstations and see the same documents, emails etc. Obviously if the server is down, it won't be possible to authenticate, but I think it should have cached credentials that should allow the user to login if the server is down and still go about their work.
This is the small picture...there is a larger picture that involves, parallel virtual machines of Windows Server 2008 R2 on server and and Windows 7 on the client, ical, ichat and perhaps wiki's.
I apologize for the roughness of this question, in the interest of brevity, I have plenty of problems that led me here that I can expound upon if asked.
Also a silly question someone might know the answer too, Why does the login payload settings that I have pushed to a workstation device, sometimes vanish inconsistently upon logout?

Ok, Some Good news and clearer understanding to disseminate in this post I hope it helps
"the Universe" so I am posting it here in my "ever-the-noob" blog on apple forums.
Problem
What do you do when you get an error when logging into a mobile account setup?
One symptom would be the error message below...
     "You are unable to log in to the user account "<%short_name%>" at this time.
Logging in using >console You get the message…
     "No home directory: <path to home directory>"
     or
     "You are unable to log in to the user account "<%short_name%>" at this time.
     Logging in using >console tells me this No home directory: <path to home directory>
Solution
Do the check list…
Short Version
Sever Admin.app > Access (Key Component)
Check Permissions on directories for your file shares.
(The reason stuff doesn't work especially when you're rebuilding/recovering a server)
File sharing setup (Turned ON, Home sharing Enabled)
Directory Utility > Directory Editor or dscl
( Do not underestimate the importance of this part!!!!
Use white-gloves when you're handling it though!!! )
Workgroup Manager
(You're poopy "main" interface that really is a "window", not a "door", but maybe Apple likes to do things "Dukes of Hazard" style?)
Long Version
Check Sever Admin.app > Access
Make sure that your user has the "Proper" access. For me I created a test user from Server.app and saw what access he had as a way to "check myself for a properly created users" and because I think one is kind of on his/her own using WGM and duplicated the same access. (I was a little neater, though and did it with a group, not individual users, that would have been a mess!)
Server Admin.app > Access
Click the "+" sign, sort by UID and Add the imported users to the following Services…
( You can use a group, but understand when Server.app creates users they get added
individually to each of these groups. )
Address Book
AFP
iCal
iChat
Mail
Profile Manager
SMB
VPN
Check Permissions on directories for your file shares.
          (That's an understatement) I could go in depth about all the crap I had to read about, I still
          know I am missing a chunk of tech brain when it comes to the particulars. Basically, I boil
          it down to this…
          Permissions require thinking about things first with regards to POSIX permissions... good
          ole ls, chmod, chgrp, chown to the rescue with ugo permissions or the old 755, 600 etc
          stuff.
          Apple's file-sharing access uses this as a starting point to see what the user is allowed to
          access.
          I also needed to use chflags once to unhide a file that I mucked around with using xattr.
          I still haven't figured out why folders can lose their triangles, but I didn't find out if you cp or
          move them from terminal, the triangles come back in the moved or copied directory. For a
          minute I thought it was because cp alone doesn't preserve flag attributes, but mv actually
          works by doing a cp that preserves the flags, unless it's a bug. I dunno.
          This helped me get my file visible again...
          chflags hidden path_to_file
          chflags nohidden path_to_file
          Read up on those manuals, if you're not a terminal type go to apples website
          http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/
          or download...
          http://www.bruji.com/bwana/ I thought that was cool.
          or if you prefer to read the manual in pdf try…
man -t sharing | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/Sharing\ Manual.pdf
          man -t chown | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/CHOWN\ Manual.pdf
          man -t chmod | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/CHMOD\ Manual.pdf
          man -t chgrp | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/CHGRP\ Manual.pdf
          My basic guideline was avoid using ACLs if at all possible, if you try to use them, things
          can get crazy complicated, take notes and plan, baby. If you read above, opening up
          permissions wide is wrong though. You would restrict permissions tightly to begin with and
          then place ACE (Access Control Entries) to specifically target the rights you want to enable.
          Here's one that's obviously a novice attempt to do this, but since the novice is the only one
          speaking…. here it is, Universe… >:P
          sudo chmod -R +ai "admin allow read,write,delete,file_inherit,directory_inherit,search,list" Department/
          That allowed my admin to do all the things a normal user could do so far… It fixed things for
          my admin, which made me happy. I really hate having to authenticate or sudo just to see
          the contents of a nested directory. I could explain it, and even give a few notes on why its
          probably overkill, but I will attempt to look less stupid till "poked".
          There's another command line utility I STILL haven't read, which may bear mentioning
          because…well I haven't read it. umask (see wikipedia or unix.com)…I worked past my
          problems without going into it so far, but obviously it's there, and it serves a purpose.
          I also found this article helpful…and educational. :O
          http://www.bresink.de/osx/300321023/Docs-en/pgs/ACL.html
          (          Its enlightening to hear the air whistling between a developer/coder's ears, still it's
                    apparent he has a clear idea what's going on.
                    Ever wonder why when you use get info to check or assign permissions it kind of
                    flakes out and doesn't take? Read this article!          )
          Second, if you can't obtain the "specific" permissions you need with POSIX, chmod also
          can set the 2nd category of permissions, which windows users may be familiar with
          Access Control Lists (ACLs) and here you get some really fine granularity...messy stuff.
          All in all, if I felt I could guide you through these murky waters, I would, but I think I'll let
          the professionals weigh in on that one and cut my wall-of-text to ribbons.
          To heuristically check I would connect from a client as one or two of my users and see what
          folders I could mount as a share, armored with an understanding of what ls -le@O * showed
          me in Terminal.
3.)           File sharing setup (Turned ON, Home sharing Enabled)
          Here is an example of using command line sharing utility where each share is properly
          labeled (that took a bit for me to figure out) still this share only enables the AFP share as
          you can see from my flags.
sudo sharing -a /Volumes/Hard\ Drive/Department/Database -A Database-afp -F Database-ftp -S Database-smb -n Database -s 100 -g 000 -i 10
          Then you do a sudo sharing -l and get back what you just did…
                                        List of Share Points
          name:                    Database
          path:                    /Volumes/Hard Drive/Department/Database
                    afp:          {
                    name:          Database-afp
                    shared:          1
                    guest access:          0
                    inherit perms:          1
                    ftp:          {
                    name:          Database-ftp
                    shared:          0
                    guest access:          0
                    smb:          {
                    name:          Database-smb
                    shared:          0
                    guest access:          0
          If you mess up the sharing command, you may not be paying attention (I wasn't) but there
          are a lot of defaults that Apple will just assume you meant to do anyway and it won't read
          any of your flags, you have to get it right or the flags will be defaulted.
          (          Basically I could tell I was bombing it for one, I explicitly only wanted afp working, but
                    the default was afp and smb. So each time I ran sudo sharing -l after I shot my sharing
                    command…back would come smb shared: 1 and I knew that wasn't right. Also my
                    custom names were defaulting to the name of the directory not the name I had
                    specified.           )
          I like to know what protocol my share is over so when it doesn't work, I know which protocol's
          are connecting. It's not full-proof, but it's a bookmark. I wish the network browser would
          identify the protocol that its available listed shares are using, because small visual queues
          like that help when you're trying to see what works. Maybe that's something I should
          investigate via the command line?
          As a note about reading forums, I discovered using command line that "\" is kind of like a
          way of going to next line neatly with long commands…."\ " is a way to insert a space. As you
          can see above where I have a volume with a space in it.
          Removing shares was a little trickier though, sharing -r Share\ With-space didn't work….I
          had to enclose it in quotes and do "Share With-space" instead. So nooby beware!
          (          *nix users are now rolling their eyes at this tip.          )
          I wasn't sure how you enabled a share for home directories from the command line, maybe its
          in the manual, but I was up to my eyeballs in manuals already so I haven't gone back to
          revisit this question since my work around was to go to Server.app and verify that what I set
          up in the sharing in terminal was being reflected in the gui…sort of my own MVC
          (model-view-controller) check.
4.)           Directory Utility > Directory Editor or dscl
Make sure what you see in WGM and Server.app are reflected here….to that question let's
          take a journey where I did some exploring about that.
Ever really wonder "WHY CAN"T I REMOVE AN OLD HOME DIRECTORY SHARE?!!!"
          Ah, then you will  - LOVE -  this tip…
          (          Provided my testing or yours, later, doesn't prove that in my ignorance I've broken
                    Open Directory. Remember, WHITEGLOVES!!!! but here we get a little dirty. I think of
                    OD as Apple's Registry, but that's not what it is at all. However, you as the user do have
                    to "****" around in it from time to time.          )
          I scoured the forums and everyone was saying things like "You have to change your server
          role" etc. which seemed a little bit dumb to me (dumb because you're pushing views around
          not "controlling"), and well, yea, that share that I couldn't modify or delete was REALLY
          bugging me.
          Now hmm… Before you do ANYTHING, how do you try to not hurt yourself…in Windows you
          can make a Registry Backup….(yea bad analogy) In Server Admin.app you can go to your Open
          Directory Service > Archive and Choose a place to Archive your information. (Figure this out by
          yourself, this is getting long…sheesh! It's easy. Restoring is just as easy and painless.)
Before we can remove the entry we "SEE" in WGM we should make sure no
          one has it selected so as not to "corrupt" the OD db, so in WGM first before going to Directory
          Utility set the Home directory to "None". (We need to remember to set this to a correct share
          later….Mental Note!!!)
          Now Open Directory Utility
          Method 1
          System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options
          Click the Lock to make changes…
          Authenticate -> click "OK"          (do I REALLY have to step-by-step this?)
          Network Account Sever: • Local Server - click "Edit" button here.
          Open Directory Utility > Directory Editor
          (          Wow, did Apple hire someone from Microsoft? You'ld think with all their research in to
                    Human Interface Design that's WAY too many clicks to get to something you need.          )
          or
          Method 2 (It's good to know about this directory, neat-o speed-o app's hidden here.)
          Use "Go to Folder" Under Finder > Go > Go to Folder...
⇧⌘G /System/Library/CoreServices/
          Click "OK"
          and Double click Directory Utility.app
          or
          Method 3
          Terminal
          open /System/Library/CoreServices/Directory\ Utility.app/
          Now From the Directory Editor Pane you will see a Pop-up menu Labeled "Viewing"
          You should glance through this and get to know it. You should use it to see what
          information is really being stored about your Users, Groups, Mounts…
          We are interested in Mounts, which is where we want to go…and there is the pesky
          mount that you will see reflected in WGM.
          Authenticate, and delete the bugger.
          Quit WGM and restart it. Voila, bad share is GONE!!!!!
          a.)          First select all my users
          b.)           Then I clicked on the "+" and added the correct share
                    (          Remember, I only showed you the first one we created, this is another and
                              for THIS one you HAVE to go into Server.app and verify that it is set to be
                              available for Home Directories in this case for AFP.          )
                    For the home directory entry you do this...
                    afp://computer.domain.com/Accounts-afp
                    %short_name%
                    /Network/Servers/computer.domain.com/Volumes/Hard\ Drive/Department/Accounts/%short_name%
%short_name% is a wild card for the short name there are other wild cards check out Apple's
                    Documentation on them. I lost the link sorry \<shrug\>
          Interesting dscl commands…(check it out in command line form and compare side by side with
          what you see in the GUI Directory Utility)
          dscl . list /users
          dscl . list /groups
          If you want to output information about each user, though, use readall:
          dscl . readall /users
          dscl . readall /groups
          And if you need to programatically parse said information, use -plist to make your life easier:
          dscl -plist . readall /users
          dscl -plist . readall /groups
          This made a little more direct sense to me, language wise…but fyi "." is kind of a wild card I think so the first
          commands I think look in ALL directories local, Search, LDAP whatever you have. The command here
          corresponds to the Entry from the Pop-up menu "…in node > Blah…" see GUI of Directory Utility to confirm.
          dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -list /Users
          dscl /Local/Default -list /Users
5.)          Workgroup Manager
          Remember this is a utility that is not long for this world. Apple's Mountain Lion is rumored to fully
          replace it, why? Yea, Apple's making a go at MDM (Mobile Device Management) and somehow
          desktop computers are being pulled/dragged along for the ride. I have plenty of issues with
          Profile Manager, but I'll likely revisit it in a couple of months and see where we stand.
          Anyway, treat this baby like the bottom rung, because, well it is built like you start your
          foundation here, but it's just a viewer with controlling "tweaks". Use the other areas to get a solid
          grasp of what is actually going on. Server.app is where you should create accounts you can
          feel are safe. When you create accounts in WGM, you are responsible for making sure they
          have the appropriate EVERYTHING.
This list is by no means complete, but these are the areas this noob is or was prepared to talk about.
Good night for now. Enjoy climbing my wall of text, and yea sorry about that. :O Run for you lives!!!!
