How do I limit a user's FTP access?

I would like to be able to allow someone to log on via FTP, but only be able to see their home directory -- not what other users have in their home directories, the files in the root directory, etc. I have read that this is possible with OS X Server, but can you do it with plain old Tiger?

If the person is already logged on to wireless and you change the password or key, they will probably be able to stay online until they disconnect from the wireless network. The next time they try to log on, they will receive an error message stating that they have entered an incorrect password.
Ideally, you would find a way to turn off the other computer for a few minutes, then change the password. Then the other computer would not be able to log onto the wireless unless they had the correct password.
I would suggest that you go with the change password / network key route. Things get a bit tricky with the other method outlined below.
"Also, how do you take a computer off the allow list? That might be the easiest way to do it."
The "allow" list is made up of computers that you DO want to be able to connect. If you leave the computer that you DON'T want to connect off the "allow" list, they will not be able to connect.
You will need to enter the MAC address of every computer that you DO want to allow to connect. Any computer that is not on this list will not be able to connect.

How to create the anonymous user for FTP server in Linksys E3000?

I made a FTP server in my Linksys E3000 and everything work great. But when I send URL to my friends to download file, everyone must login
So, can I create Anonymous User (like FTP server in PC) to simplified everything ?
Thank you so much!

Thank Great_White!
But i mean not that. I can create user to access my FTP server but that users must have user name and password.

How do I deny a user that has access

I want to deny access to a computer that has access to my network, and has the network key. Is there any way to single out a user and deny access?

How can I limit the User not to create OPPT for a given BP grouping

Hi ,
We did create a Business Partner grouping (BUT000-BU_GROUP) and wish to block the user to create an Opportunity ( Transaction Type OPPT ) for this Business Partner grouping ?
How can we do that ?

Hi,
You can do this with the help of BADI
Customer Relationship Management  Transactions  Settings for Opportunities  Business Add-Ins  Business Add-In for Opportunity: Header Data
You will have to do enhancements for opportunity header data.
Please use the BADI : CRM_OPPORT_H_BADI:
In this BADI use the method : CRM_OPPORT_H_CHECK
With this you can carry out additional checks - the results of these checks can be copied as error messages. Here you can check the grouping of the business partner you are entering in the transaction and if e.g. grouping of the BP is u201CXu201D the error message can be triggered u201COpportunity can not be created for this BPu201D.
Please let me know if this helped in resolving your problem
Regards
Dinesh

How to increase limit of users using portal/SSO

Hello,
I am expending number of users using a portal forms application and recently started to get this error
Service Temporarily Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
The error appears only for the pages that require SSO, no problem for the public pages. Can something be done to increase the limits for SSO connections?
Thanks.

How do I limit the user creat new connect when CPU idle 5%?

my oracle database is 9.2.0.7,
I want to limited the new connection by created when the server (sun solars 5.9) cpu idle <5 % ?

> I want to limited the new connection by created when the server (sun solars 5.9) cpu idle <5 % ?
This makes absolutely no sense at all. Not even borderline idiotic - it has invaded the land of idiots looking to conquer and become the biggest one of them all. :-)
But there is actually a very easy way to do it. Outside the database in a script, run uptime. It provides the system load averages for the past 1, 5, and 15 minutes. Use awk to extract these load numbers and use that to make the decision whether connectivity can be allowed or must be denied.
Next check if the Oracle Listener is up. If up and connectivity must be denied, shut it down. If down and connectivity must be allowed, start it. Else, leave it as is.
Then sleep for a few minutes and repeat.
To make this into a proper daemon, you can simply add it to /etc/inittab and have the kernel running it for you and respawning it when it runs into a problem and dies.

Php code limit a user based on access level

building site where users post items for sale
different levels of access
want to limit basic access level to 10 postings
use php/mysql and dreamweaver CS4
thanks for your help,
jim balthrop

sounds phenominal
Like Craigslist but you have to pay... sign me up!
If the activation method of the registration being sent to your email is this method then, as mentioned, it can be circumvented. And the IP address is an absolute fool-proof way to prevent multiple registration. That is of course without the consideration that the user may use a proxy server or otherwise cloak their IP address.
Think of it this way: what if you were only allowed to post 10 threads in the Adobe forums and after that you had to pay to get "many benefits besides unlimited posting" What do you think DWFAQ would do?

How to find country of user who is accessing website

I want to find the know the country of my user whether they are from USA or INDIA or UK etc.

Get the [IP address|http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/javax/servlet/ServletRequest.html#getRemoteAddr()] and use a [Geo IP|http://www.google.com/search?q=geo+ip] provider to your taste.
That said, you should never rely on the client's information as they have full control over what they sends with the request. They can fool/spoof the request data and/or use a proxy.

How to get list of users who have access to a SAP module

Hi,
We are developing a tool in Java where we will pull the data from various modules in SAP (like Purchase order, Invoice etc). Lets take Purchase Order Module as example. I can get the data using BAPIs (like BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL).
However to implement Authorization, I also want the list of users/groups that have access to Purchase order module. Is this possible? Or can we get the ACL information from the tables in database like EKKO for Purchase order?
I have tried searching for solution but couldn't find any. Please suggest if there is some standard way by which we can pull the ACL information via Java, or if this can be achieved by some custom RFCs.
Thanks,
Anurag

Anurag,
The best way is to wirte a RFC Function Module (It will fetch the roles of the user from agr_users table) which will take user id as import paramter and will give you assigned roles.
Please let me know if you still need any further information.
Thanks,
Hamendra

How to limit ftp access to single directory with lion

I am setting up an sftp server on a Lion system and I would like to know how I can limit a logged on user to a single directory. I am using the ftp daemon that comes with Lion. I start my ftp server using the following command:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist
I am using FileZilla for a client that will be run on a mac running Lion or Leopard.
I have seen threads on this but they are from 2009 and don't help with Lion.
thanks for the help
john

Hi, Did you find any info?
I am also looking for similar solution.
I am not using FileZilla, but just want to know how to setup a particular user on to access only a certain folder on MAC when logged in via FTP. They can log in by command line or any FTP utility from another PC or MAC or other Unix OS.
Please let me know, if you find something. I will share some info.

When creating users in apex,how can i limit pages depending the user?

Hi,
1.When creating users in apex,how can i limit every user in the pages he can run or see depending on the user profile ?
2.Are the user that is created in apex also a user in DB ?
Thanks in advance
Yoel

Yoel -
We're talking about end users of applications you develop in Application Express, not users that login to the development environment.
You do not have to use Application Express to create user accounts for your application. Your apps can authenticate using SSO, LDAP, or other methods. If you use Application Express user accounts, that is only for convenience which may not be convenient in the long run if you have to manage those accounts, but that's up to you.
These Application Express accounts have no relation to database accounts. This situation is slightly different when using the XE database.
Your application's authorization logic determines which users can access the application, pages, or other components, that is, it is not the user account properties, per se, that control application access but rather the application's determination about the properties of the authenticated account in use that allow it to control access. For example, you don't create an account and give it attributes that say this user can access application ABC and pages 1,2, and 7. Instead, you might give that account properties like SALES MANAGER ROLE and the the application would allow only users with SALES MANAGER ROLE (whatever that means) to access certain pages.

SOAP Basic Authentication - How to create a limited user access

Hello
I have a lots of scenarios that use XI´s WebService for integration. For the 3rd party systems be able to use the WebServices, they need an authentication in Web Application Server.
The question is: How can I create a user with LIMITED access to ONLY ONE Webservice in XI ?
For example, I want a user called webservice1 that can access only http://myserver:50100/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:SERVICE:SOAP_Sender_CC.
I don´t wanna use HTTPS because the 3rd party systems are very limited and they don´t have HTTPS support.
Thanks

Yes, I have up the user in the Send Agreement. My SOAP Adapter Communication Chanel is configured there.
I´m using the correct user in webservice authentication. Its the same I created in SU01.
Without those authentication configurations (when All users can use the webservice), I can log in with this user. But when I restrict by doing the configurations, it doesn´t work.
I just made a test by restricting the service for another user and the error message is different.
When I log with a different user than the configured one, the error is:
java.security.AccessControlException: USER has no permission for accessing party service :SYSTEM_TEST...
When I log with the configured user authentication, the error is:
com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: XIServer:NO_EXEC_PERMISSION:....
Seems there´s still some missing configuration.
Thanks
