How to create a mail-only user

In WGM I need to have several users that have access to an e-mail account only, they never should get ftp access (or even terminal SSH, telnet, etc.).
So I solved this (at least I think so) by doing the following settings:
(1) "Accounts" section, concerned user: "Advanced" tab, "login shell" set to "None".
(2) "Home" tab, no home directory chosen.
I tried then to login via ftp as such a user, which was refused. But the message was just "login failure" so I'm unsure if I simply misspelled the password (I tried it five times, so not realistic) or whether or not this has worked.
Somewhere else I got the advise to also create a ACL list for the "Sharing" folder - but since this user has no home directory and no shell, I feel that this is not necessary nor makes it sense (I have a lot of users that change sometimes and creating one ACL per user is quite complex).
Can an expert of this forum tell me if it is sufficient what I did to the user's account preventing them to login via ftp, but still are able to send/receive mails ?

Since no one of the discussions could verify this, I called Apple today and asked them. Although I had some concerns about the knowledge of the operator I talk with, he has confirmed that anything was done correctly.
Should Apple or I being wrong, please let me know how to better solve this problem

Creating a read-only user account

I am trying to create a read-only user account. Reason being,
when our users may be able to use MS Access to pull information
and modify changes (if possible). I was told there is a way to
do this. Help?

I'm connecting using ODBC with a user account that I created.
This dummy account will be available to approx 15 users so they
can generate reports using Crystal. But, if there is someone
that wants to generate queries using MS Access, they can still
modify the data. So, how do I create only select statements to
disallow users from using MS Access to link to the oracle
database and change data?

How to create a login to users in PHP

How to create a login for users to access their data,
currently I can only see the first user everytime I login even with
a different username. I know I need session stuff but don't know
how to use, add or where to put them in.
Thanks in advanced.

I also am wrestling with the same problem. Session variables
have not worked. I have determined that if the GET method is used,
then the recordset of the users records are there. If the POST
method is used, the recordset is blank. It appears to be something
inherent in the Log In User behavior.
I am trying to have a customer log in and then only see their
particular inventory records. I do not want them be directed to a
page with a listing of all the various customers and then select
from that. Not suitable at all.
If I find an answer, will let you know.
Thanks and good luck,
Dale :-)

How to create Lookup field in user form in OIM 11g - Urgent

Hi Experts,
How to create Lookup field in User Form - OIM 11g.
Pls. provide your support on priority.
Regards
Karan

Thanks all for your suggestion.
Our requirement, is we need to have a user defined field similar to how its there in "Organisation".
For example we need to create an user defined field like "Service Holding" which holds different services say like Service 1, Service 2, Service 3 etc.
Under each service there are multiple roles....
Eg:
Service 1 - Role 1, Role 2, Role 3
Service 2 - Role 4, Role 5
Service 3 - Role 6, Role 7, Role 8
Is there a way to store multi-valued attribute in OIM UDF? If so, pls. guide us
If its not possible we would need to create a Lookup field (something similar to Organization or Manager). User clicks on the button (lens button), which should invoke an API wherein he can select specific Roles and save in User. Eg. like Service 1 - Role 1#Service 2 # Role 5 and store in the backend database.
Is this possible. Pls. guide.
Regards,
Karan

How to create an object only if not exist?

how to create an object only if not exist? is it possible?
if not what can I do?
Thanks.

Well, the jsp:useBean tag is a great way to do things.
But another way is:
<%
      MyObjectType myObject = null;
      if(session.getAttribute("myObject"))==null) {
         myObject = ... ; //initiate your object
         session.setAttribute("myObject", myObject);
      myObject = (MyObjectType) session.getAttribute("myObject");
%>As you can see, this is more messy, but you can do it.

How to create a new admin user in oracle 9i?.

Hi I am new to oracle. I want to set up a new database for my application.
How to create a new admin user in oracle 9i?. I would like to have a new schema. where I can create tables for my application from scratch.

If I understand your question correctly:
You need to be connected to the database with the user SYS.
open a command-line session and do the following to create an Oracle user with DBA option other than SYS.
C:\>sqlplus /nolog
SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Fri Oct 14 08:46:13 2005
Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
SQL> conn / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL>
SQL> create user test identified by pass;
User created.
SQL> grant create session to test;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> alter user test account unlock;
User altered.
SQL> grant dba to test with admin option;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> conn test/pass
Connected.
SQL>
SQL> sho user
USER is "TEST"
SQL>Now you have a user with username 'test' and password 'pass' with DBA role with Admin option
Tony Garabedian
From now on you can connect directly with SQL*Plus no need for comman-line. Just provide the username/password and you're logged in.

Since updating to ios7 i can no longer partially download emails and this is using up all my data plan. How can I make Mail only be partially downloaded again?

YEA! My jurryrig worked! To all with this problem:
You CAN have podcasts in a regular playlist IF you convert them to a standard MP3 first. So, yes, a lot of manual labor
The good news: if, like me, it is a track that you listen to frequently (in my case meditations for sleep and relaxation) then the time is worth it. I will mess with automator later to see if there is anyway to script this! Then, less work for me and more for my mac.
Here are the steps:
Select the file from your Podcast folder.
Change all data you need -- "artist," "album" etc...
Make a copy of the cover art for this file by dragging it to the desktop.
Select the Advanced -> Convert ID3 Tags menu item.
Check ID3 tag version, and select "v1.0" from the drop-down menu.
Drag the file to the desktop (this will make a copy of the MP3 on the desktop)
Delete the file from the iTunes list.
Drag the copy of the file you have on the Desktop back into iTunes.
Search for the file in the Library, and add the cover art again to the file.
Now the file is out of the Podcasts folder and works like a regular MP3 file inside iTunes. You can re-add it back to playlists!

How to create a new application user by my application?

Hello,
I want to give the user of my application the possibility to create a new application user if necessary. The creation of a new user should be realized in my application. I tried to find the answer in the apex user guide, but I haven't found it. Can somebody tell me how to create a new application user in the implemented application (one page in application for creating users for my application)?
Thanks,
Bettina

Hello Bettina,
You can do that using the API: www_flow_fnd_user_api.create_fnd_user. If you look at that procedure in SQL Dev (or TOAD or whatever you like), you can see an example and the description of the arguments.

Roel
