  • How to reset guest user

    Hi,
    I'm new to lion. I tried to manipulate the guest user account so it would function as a guest user (deleting all the private stuff after log out) but keeping my preferences like dock, desktop, grid settings, ...
    I used this link: http://www.michaelsmac.com/modules.php?file=article&name=News&sid=394
    but something went wrong. (Later I discovered this was posted prior to Lion so this could be the problem)
    The result is that on start up of the user account it also shows my terminal open and the last webpage I visited (the link above).
    Quiting these and log out/ log in again does not resolve this problem.
    I did the backup like sugested in the link but I'm not able to use it
    I can see it in system/library/
    Anyone can help me on how to recover the original guest settings without having to reinstall the complete OSX ?
    Many thanks !

    Why can't you use the "backup" as suggested?
    The second and third lines of the recovery hint will likely need sudo appended in front of the commands.

  • How to retrieve guest user account backup

    I have an iMac and a time capsule.  A large number of pictures were loaded into I Photo in the guest account of my iMac.  I cannot now find these pictures as I understand that guest accounts are wiped clean each time the guest account is lodged out from.
    Given that we did not log out from the quest account for a couple of days, i am hopeful that the guest account was backed up by time capsule.  I cannot find the guest account on the backed up time capsule.  Does anyone have any suggestions whether TC backs up the guest account and if so, how can I locate it in TC.
    Thanks very much.  David

    Did you have the main account logged in as well as guest at the time? Do you have TM setup in the guest account?
    It is very unlikely TM backed it up. If it did simply mount the sparsebundle in finder and go through all the folders until you find the guest user account and check if there is anything there. If not sorry it was never backed up.
    The only solution I can see if to use a recovery software for the camera. Whatever source of the photos was.. stop using the memory card in that camera now.. use the recovery software as the files will be there until overwritten for the next lot of pictures.
    Pondini has all the info for recovery of files from TM.
    See Q15 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    There is a section for iphoto.. but IMHO it won't be backed up.

  • How to disable Guest User Login

    All of a sudden I have a "Guest User Account" on my login screen.  I never enabled it, and it wasn't there before.  I checked my Users preferences and it clearly shows the Guest User Account is disabled (nothing checked).  Any ideas how to remove it from my login screen?  Thanks.

  • How to delete Guest User Account

    I just got my Mac book Pro and I'm new to Mac. I created a Guest User Account and now I want to delete it. But the - (minus) option is grey out. How can I delete the Guest User Account? I have two accounts listed right now. The Admin and the Guest Account. Thanks for your help.
    p.s. I just found out I couldn't even open the folders under the Guest directory! How come? I am the Admin and should be able to do that. What did I do wrong? Help!!!

    I should also say that sometime in the future you might have a problem with something, and one of the first things you should test is, do you have the same problem in another account, so having a Guest Account is a good thing.
    You just log in as Guest and test to see if you have the same problem. So it might be a good idea to leave it active, for it takes up very little space. I always have more than one Account, and this new Guest Account sounds good to me, I like the idea that everything is deleted after log off.

    In case of Add-In installation, these users are automatically created on the ABAP side in client 001. If you want to use another client, you have to create these users with their roles in this other client.
    User Role
    SAPJSF SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION
    J2EE_ADMIN SAP_J2EE_ADMIN
    J2EE_GUEST SAP_J2EE_GUEST
    User SAPJSF is used for JCo (RFC) communication from Java to ABAP.
    User J2EE_ADMIN is the J2EE and Portal Administrator user.
    User J2EE_GUEST is used for anonymous logon.
    Users with Role SAP_J2EE_ADMIN are automatically mapped to Portal Group Administrators.
    thanks
    Users with Role SAP_J2EE_GUEST are automatically mapped to Portal Group Guests.
    The passwords of these users are defined by the customer during installation.

  • Fresh Install of Mountain Lion how do I export users from Lion Server

    I've been having some issues with Lion Server, mainly Kerberos related and Profile Manager. So I want to start fresh with Mountain Lion.
    I've installed ML and Server, and profile manager is working now for the first time (yay!)
    Now I want to Import all my existing Open Directory users from Lion, I don't want to Import the entire OD though because I think some of my kerberos issues will just get carried over to ML.
    I would like to just export the Users to a file then use ML server to import users from file, but I can't see an option to export in Lion Server, I have tried doing it from WGM on Lion but the 'users' file is not recognised by ML server

    Great thanks for the reply, I'll try it tonight when everyone has logged off.
    Yeah I was very pleased initially with kerberos on Lion, it worked great to start with, now I'm just getting expired tickets for a default realm when some users log in, yet other users continue to work fine.
    I was planning to slowly install Mountain Lion Server and test is thouroghly but I've had a bit of a disaster that if forcing me to go live with ML server quicker than I wanted to!
    Basically because on Lion Server I have all the Service Data on a separate drive, and I upgraded to ML server on a backup copy of Lion Server just to see what it was like, though now I've rebooted the original Lion drive but half of the services are now screwwed up because the ML Server must have changed them, so things like Wiki Server and Profile Manager are now broken from the Lion Server boot, they just show "Error Reading Settings"
    I realise now I should have moved the Service data back to the local drive before doing a test upgrade so I wouldn't have messed it up! but now it seems like my best way forward is a fresh install of ML Server

  • How to delete guest user

    I am trying to save space on my hd and would like to delete the guest user ? is it possible ? is it safe ?

    The guest user account's settings and saved files are automatically deleted when the account is logged out. This is intentional so the account does not accumulate space like other user accounts. The account should only be a collection of folders and be only a few MB in size when logged out. You can technically delete the account entry in the system's directory, but this is not recommended. Instead, simply disable it in the Users & Groups system preferences by selecting it and unchecking the options to allow guests to log into the system.

  • How to dump guest user database from 4402 to 5508

    Hi Everyone,
    Currently all our guest user accounts are created on a 4402WLC that is running on code 4.2.61.0. This WLC will be replaced by a 5508WLC that is running on 7.0.116.0. Is there a way to export all the guest user accounts and password from 4402 and import them to 5508? I can only get account name from "show running-config" and password is not showing there.
    Thank you.

    I'm pretty sure I can only see "netuser lifetime xx" and "netuser wlan-id xx". I can't see "netuser add xx".  I've checked both lab WLC4402 and production WLC4402. They give me the same results. The following is my WLC's info.

  • How to kick guest user when user quota has exhausted

    Hi,
    I have wlc and acs v4.0. Currently, I am using layer 3 security with web authentication and has been succesfully integrated with ACS for authentication. User quota has been set so that when user has reached its quota, may not be able to log in again. But problem occurs when the user has not logged out, it still can connect to network although its account at ACS shows disabled because of its quota limitation. So, is it a way to kick the user out, when the user has reached its quota ?
    Radius accounting has been properly set. and AAA override has been set on appropriate wlan ssid.
    Regards,
    Suwandy

    thanks for your reply.
    do you mean "allow AAA override" ? If so, I have tried it and it works for changing user session by radius server. But the problem is, radius server do not send the user-session parameter dynamically. How can the radius send/calculate the remaining session time to wlc ?

  • How to: audit guest user traffic and keep it out of the tunnel

    Hi all,
    Project:
    Install AP in county library for local client use to the cloud via cable/dsl (vlan3) and maintain usage counters.
    Manage the AP thru the cloud, over the existing (3rd party) library network (vlan2), no client traffic.
    Sounds just like an OEAP using the private ssid.  Just no accounting that way.
    I read somewhere that ver 8.0 would let us flex internet traffic local and route everything else thru the tunnel,
    but that probably would not provide a usage audit either.

    Hi all,
    Well the question had a bit of obfuscation built in.
    I trunked my AP from the local switch...  native vlan 125.  Vlan 16 is the dsl pop.
    AP links to the WLC via 125.  Flex ssid is linked to the local vl16.  The flex ssid is wpa2/psk and the WLC tracks all associations there-too with MAC/IP data, adequate to create user/count data.
    Too simple.  I was thinking ACL's and all the rest.
    Thank you
