How does the login process works with a bind to AD?

Hi there,
I am trying to bind our mac to our Active Directory. Before doing I'd like to understand well how the login process works. Is there any reference I could look up to?
For what I've understood until now with an example user "testAccount" and no automount and no AD extension and the ADplugin set as:
a) if mobile is set, then a /Users/testAccount is created and if UNC is set then a smbHome is mounted "on desktop". If UNC is not set, do nothing more
b) if force is set, then a /Users/testAccount is created and if UNC is set then a smbHome is mounted "on desktop". If UNC is not set, do nothing more
c) if force is NOT set:
--c1) if UNC is not set and cannot map NFSHomedirectory at all, then login the user with such a temporary home
--c2) if UNC is set mount SMBhome and use it as mounted home folder (NFSHomeDirectory-->SMBhome "/Network/Servers/my.server.com/users/testAccount")
--c3) if UNC is not set then retrieve the homeDirectory-NIS's attribute in AD (NFSHomeDirectory--> "/homes/testAccount") and create /homes/testAccount
my doubt now is point c2) after I login in with a "#mount" I get:
trigger on /Network/Servers/my.server.com/users (autofs, automounted)
//[email protected]/users on /Network/Servers/my.server.com/users (smbfs, nodev, nosuid, automounted, mounted by testaccount)
but my SMBhome is not correctly mounted on remote server (but the Library folder and MCX files are created!) and I get home errors because the system is looking for "/homes/testAccount", which I don't know where it is coming out from given that a
#dscl /Active\ Directory/my.server.com -read /Users/testaccount |grep homes gives only out dsAttrTypeNative:unixHomeDirectory: /homes/testAccount
thanks,
a.

  • How does the Login process work?

    Hello,
    How exactly does the default 'Login' process on the login page work?
    When the following code is executed:
    wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login(
    P_UNAME => :P1_USERNAME,
    P_PASSWORD => :P1_PASSWORD,
    P_SESSION_ID => v('APP_SESSION'),
    P_FLOW_PAGE => :APP_ID||':2'
    Does the execution continue to the code below or is it halted and the user is redirected to the flow page?
    I need to set the username and the user id (from SQL query WHERE username = :P1_USERNAME) ONLY IF the authentication has been successful, otherwise NULL them. What's the best way to do this?
    After the wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login(...), how can I check if the user has been authenticated?
    Thanks :)
    Pavel

    hi pavel--
    wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login sets :APP_USER and then redirects to p_flow_page upon successful login. when you say, "I need to set the username and the user id (from SQL query WHERE username = :P1_USERNAME) *ONLY IF* the authentication has been successful, otherwise NULL them" i'm guessing that you really want your user to not be logged in upon unsuccessful credential verification. if so, that would already be handled by wwv_flow_custom_auth_std. a good way to see this in action is to examine how the Sample Application handles authentication. the login page 101 does call wwv_flow_custom_auth_std with the supplied credentials, but if you don't pass the Authentication Function check specified in the Sample Application's custom authentication scheme, the session is still invalid, and the user is still on page 101. i'm pretty sure that's the behavior you want, but please clarify if not.
    thanks,

  • How does the newest Iphone work with Ford Sync?

    How does the new Iphone work with Ford Sync? I was thinking of purchasing the 4s but may go elsewhere if there is a better phone for the equipment in my vehicle.

    That would be a NO.. I should have done my homework before I switched to IPhone because the Bluetooth just does not want to sync with my Ford Truck. Its such an inconvience. But I see from other posts that Ford isn't the only car experiencing problems. So Hopefully Apple fixes this problem QUICKLY!

  • How does the sync functionality work with large libraries on small devices?

    How does the sync functionality work with large libraries?
    Say I sync 100gb of photos with the new Photos app and turn on sync on a 16gb iphone. Will it fill the device up to 16gb? Can I tell it to limit to xgb so I leave room for music and apps? How does this work? Will it slow down my phone if its trying to sync 100gb across smaller devices?

    "Will the Apple TV now read directly from the Time Capsule?" ATV does not 'read' from the TC. It connects to the Mac and itunes library associated with the Mac. Of course the itunes program can 'point' to a library on the TC. You'll still need to have itunes open and the Mac powered on and not sleeping with the TC mounted to the Desktop to use ATV properly. So bottom line the use of TC just adds one more step to view files on the ATV.

  • How does the sync process work?

    Hello all,
    I want to know what will happen if both the local and network homes have been modified for a period of two weeks and then the user chooses to synch? Will the sync process ask which 'home' is the most recent or will it replace older files with newer files?
    How does the sync process manage the task of keeping both sides the same?
    Thanks,
    -Andrew G

    If a file exists on both the local and the network directory it will pop up with a conflict and ask how to resolve it.
    If the file is only on the local machine and in a place you have not excluded from syncing it just syncs.
    If the file has been previously synced but there has been no change to the file since last sync I think it just rewrites the file to the server homedir... (Don't quote me on this one... it might not even bother with it, I'm not sure how smart the sync service is)
    You can set automatic conflict resolution within WGM but as far as I know you have to do it by clicking on preferences then switching to the details tab, then click on Home Sync....com.apple.homesync. Click on the Always drop down and click the add new key button then change the new key to either Login or Logout Non-Preference sync conflict resolution and or Background sync conflict resolution and decide if MobileHome or NetworkHome Wins...or copy. In most cases I would think that you would want the MobileHome to Win.. of course there is always potential for someone to make a huge mistake on a file and pray its still fine on the server but... your call.

  • Newbie: How does the security manager work with EJB?

    Hi,
    I am new to J2EE and do not seem to grasp how the security manager (or J2EESecurityManager) works with EJB.
    My bean does security-senisitive stuff (like getting the Policy object) and must not do so unless I give it permission in the policy file. So far so good. But the permission will only work if I grant it to ALL code, like:
    grant {
    permission java.security.SecurityPermission "getPolicy";
    Beans do not seem to have a protection domain or code source/certificates attached to it. so I cannot say
    grant "/file/sw/ejb/myejb.jar" {
    permission java.security.SecurityPermission "getPolicy";
    Why is that (probably because beans run remote)? But more importantly, how DO I set permissions based on which bean it is?

    If I add that directory as the codebase to
    a grant statement any class loaded from there will
    have the specified permission.I thought so, too, and that is why I went digging for the code source of my bean (i.e. where is it deployed, from where is it loaded) but that source is NULL:
    Some program output:
    ==Has security manager: com.sun.enterprise.J2EESecurityManager
    ==Code source is ProtectionDomain (null <no certificates>)
    The code seems to have no code source (null) and no signatures (in fact, I also signed my code with the keytool but that certificate did not show here either).
    I am running this against the j2ee server 1.3 -- just experimenting, but it does not go so well. :-)

  • How does the fault system work with AppleCare warranty extension?

    I'm an owner of an iPhone 4S on Telus Mobility in Canada and I have two year AppleCare warranty extension that is linked to my phone. I've had my iPhone for over a year now with no issues, so this question is meant for reference if and when I do need to make a claim.
    When I bought my AppleCare, the representative never explained to me how the fault system works, or if and what I pay in the event of a claim, or really anything else related to AppleCare. My friend told me if I pay a certain amount of money during a claim, I can get a new iPhone. Is this true? Are there limitations of the AppleCare?
    Could somebody please explain to me in a fairly decent amount of detail how AppleCare works, how the fault system works, and anything else I would need to know about AppleCare? Thanks.

    Here's the link explaining it:
    http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
    This would work in the U.S. - I think (but am not sure) it will work in Canada as well.

  • How does the Approvals process work in Oracle Hyperion Planning v 11.1.2

    Hi,
    I have recently upgraded to Oracle Hyperion Planning v 11.1.2 and the way that the application handles budget / Forecast approvals appears to have changed.
    Is anyone able to direct me to a user manual or provide me with some guidance on how to set up the approvals process in the upgrade Oracle Hyperion Planning v 11.1.2.
    Currently I have the approvals hierarchy set to allow all approvals and have the approvals template set to bottom up, I have not put any values on the hierarchy and sub hierarchy tab as I want to drive approvals by entity only. I have set the correct Scenario and assigned the owners/approvers however when I start the approvals process the current owner is let sitting at no owner? Should this not pull though the owner set up under assign owners.
    When I log in as the owner of the planning unit I do get the option to promote the unit as set out in the assign owner hierarchy however when I attempt to do this I get the following error:
    Failed: Unauthorized New Owner
    I am relatively new to planning so any help you can provide me with would be much appreciated.

  • HT1386 How does the sync process work on the latest version of iTunes?

    I used to be able to drag songs I wanted to sync to an iPod touch.  Now I can't figure out how to do it in the latest update.

    kdavis hi,
    From the main iTunes window, select 'music' from the drop down menu at the top left side. Then, simply drag and drop your music files onto the window. iTunes should then bring in the tunes which will be loaded onto you iPod when you next sync (as long as you have 'Entire music library' selected in the iTunes iPod tab.

  • HT4914 How does the payment method work for iTunes Match?

    How does the payment method work with iTunes Match. For example, if you have a gift card, does it take it out of that. Or is there tax? What if you cancel your subscription in the middle of the year, does it take the money for that year or not? If someone could answer those questions it would be greatly apreciated. And if anyone has their own questions, feel free to ask. Thank you.

  • TRFC internals - how does the async processing happen?

    tRFC internals - how does the async processing happen?
    Dear all,
    With the document "[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f078394a-4469-2910-c4bf-853c75674694|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f078394a-4469-2910-c4bf-853c75674694]" there is an excellent place to read about SAP RFCs (remote function calls).
    Pages 94 to 96 describe in detail how tFRC (transactional RFC) works.
    However, there is still something unclear for me with the following sentence on page 94:
    "The truly exciting part happens when the program
    issues a COMMIT WORK command. The recorded calls
    are executed asynchronously in a special set of tRFC
    processing sessions created for each transaction ID..."
    Maybe someone can answer the following questions:
    a) what does exactly trigger and execute the tRFC?
    b) is it the ABAP runtime system itself, spawning the additional task in DIA?
    c) if multiple tRFC LUWs have been recorded, they are all executed in parallel by this procedure!?
    d) does the execution try to utilize all available DIA processes?
    e) how do the rdisp/rfc_... parameter come into the game?
       are they evaluated? We have seen all DIA occupied by the tRFCs executed!
    Best regards,
    Peter
    P.S.: if someone has answers to these ones, more related to error handling, would be great as well
    f) the jobs ARFC*, do they also use parallel processing?
       or is every ARFC* job responsible only for one single LUW?
       (note https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/366807 did not give a perfect answer)
    g) and how does the report RSARFCEX work compared to immediate execution?

    That's the problem, it won't.
    internal static string GetAvailabilityGroupFromConnection(SPDatabase db)
    if (!UsesAvailabilityConnection(db))
    return null;
    string dataSource = db.ConnectionString.DataSource;
    string cmdText = string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "\r\n SELECT name FROM sys.availability_groups g\r\n JOIN sys.availability_group_listeners l ON g.group_id = l.group_id\r\n WHERE dns_name = '{0}'\r\n ", new object[] { dataSource });
    string str3 = null;

    using (SqlDataReader reader = GetSessionFromDatabase(db).ExecuteReader(command))
    while (reader.Read())

    This piece of code looks at the SPDatabase's connection string (the SQL alias, for example) and executes a T-SQL query looking for that name within SQL Server. Since the SQL alias does not exist within the SQL Server's configuration, it will return a null
    value, and you won't be able to set up the AG config using the AG cmdlets.
    Also, since mobility exists by the very nature of using an AG Listener, using a SQL Alias is redundant.

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
    Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
    If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
    Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
    How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
    Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
    I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
    If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.
