How to disable airport so that standard users can't reenable it ?

Even when I disable airport interface from the command line :
sudo ifconfig en1 down (what requires sudo privileges)
a standard user can reenable it ! Strange behaviour compared to linux or windows OS.
If someone knows how to block airport, please let me know.
Thanks

Hello,
Thank you for the answers.
All users are standard users.
The option I was searching for is in System Preferences - Network - AirPort - Advanced - Require admin password for : Disabling or enabling AirPort. The other two options could be useful too.
I think I'll add this to my base image. In the meantime I'll try to apply the settings via Apple Remote
I didn't find the exact settings to enable the 3 options from the command line, if you know how to do this please tell me.
I found a few very useful commands though :
Disable/Enable airport from the command line
networksetup -setairportpower en1 off/on
That's the command I will use when all machines will be configured with "Require admin password for : Disabling or enabling AirPort". If it's not configured the user can reenable airport.
Disable/Enable airport service from the command line :
networksetup -setnetworkserviceenabled AirPort off/on
That's the command that can help when you haven't block the users yet. A standard user can reenable the service but he needs to know the command as well as how to use terminal.

How to limit the max dialog no that one user can use at the same time?

Hi,
I meet one performance problem that one user can open 6 sessions in the GUI and he/she can run 6 reports at the same time witch could occupy 6 dialogs in the sap R/3 instance. It makes poor performance for other users.
Would you pls tell me how to limit the no. of sessions one user can create at the same time or how to limit the no. of dialogs one user can occupy at the same time?
Thanks a lot!
I used this parameters in the default profile as blew:
rdisp/rfc_check 1
rdisp/rfc_use_quotas 1
rdisp/rfc_max_own_used_wp 20 (means: 20%)
It still didn't work.

Hello,
We can reserve DIA W.P by giving value to the parameter :- rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp=1(default)
that have to necessarily remain free for other users.
This parameter is used to reserve a number of dialog work processes for Dailog mode.
For eg. If 10 dialog w.p. are configured for the instance(rdsip/wp_no_dia=10) and the parameter rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp=3 is set,parallel RFC's can occupy a maximum of 7 DIA W.P.3 DAI W.P. always remain free for dialog mode.
But now the question is how we assign/restrict this free dialog w.p. to the specific user.

How can I create a DVD image that PC users can retrieve and burn...

I need to create a DVD disc image that PC users can retrieve from a private network share and burn to a blank DVD. Once burned, it needs to auto-start at the Menu. The master works fine. Images burned using the Mac Disk Utility work fine. But I have little control over who will download the image or the method by which they will burn it, so I need to provide visitors with guidance. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Thank Jeff for this one.....

I've also heard that you can just copy an ".img" iDVD image to a pc, change the extension to .iso and then burn with Nero, etc. But I haven't tried it myself.....

How to set the maximum length that a user can enter in Msgstyledtextinput

Hi Everyone,
I'm currently using EBS 11.5.1 and 10.2g DB
Is there a way that I can set the maximum length that a user can input?
I changed the Maximum Length to lower number (from 150 to 100) but I get the following error.
Developer Mode Exception encountered in item SaveLocation
Error: The item SaveLocation has a maximum length (100)
         which is not equal to that of the corresponding VO attribute
       , SaveLocation length (150).
Action: Make sure they are equal in size. There must be other way to set that value
Thanks,
Elmer

You have to set the maximum length of column to 150 to avoid this error.
You can set the same in Jdev.
Thanks

Limit the amount of tasks that a user can claim

I have a custom worklist and I need to develop a requirement for not allowing the users to claim more than one task at a time. Does the Worklist API have something to limit the amount of tasks that a user can claim at a time?.
Thanks in advance.

Apparently the Family Base add-on (https://my.verizonwireless.com/vzw/nos/safeguards/SafeguardProductDetails.action?productName=familybase) from Verizon will allow you to set limits on how much data a particular device can consume. I think it is free for the first 3 months (not sure) after that it will cost $5 per month. I have heard rumors though that it does not work well with iPhones???

SEARCH function in Adobe Captivate 8 so that the user can search key words within a project?

Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to implement a SEARCH function in Adobe Captivate 8 so that the user can search key words within a project?

Hello again
Click the slide in the film strip, then examine the properties. You name the slide in the properties. And once you name it, the name should appear below the slide in the film strip, Then when you choose to enable the TOC, what you have there pulls in as shown below:
If you have already constructed your TOC and wish to change this later, repeat the steps of naming the slides. Then click the Reset TOC icon just above the Settings button in the TOC section of the Skin editor to pull in the new names.

What are the command line options to start firefox to start in a kiosk mode which restricts the options that a user can select

I would like to use Firefox as my browser but want to restrict the configuration options that a user can do. Is there a command line option to start in a kiosk more in which no toolbars are visible including min/maximise buttons so that only the rendered webpage is visible? I am interested for both Windows and Linux environments.

There is a /wait option for the Windows "start" command to wait for the program to get finished.

How to customize SAPlogon so that the user cannot enter transaction code?

I use PFCG to create a role which limit the choices of menu. I create a user and set the role to the user.
I would like to disable or hide the COmmand Field so that the user cannot enter transaction code directly.
Is it possible to do so?
If yes, would anyone show me how?
Any discussion is welcome.

anyway you are going to restrict the user authorization vai role, insted of going throught the whole tree to execute the tcode there is shotcut as command line. here you can save much more time for the user insted going through the tree always. there is no harm for the system if you keep the command line option. What and why you think it should be disabled?
Cheers,

How to disable Internet from running when users first boots into Windows 8.1 Pro

Recently added Windows 8 into our environment, everything works fine except the IE 11 always pops up at initial logging. Is there a way to disable this w/ Group Policy?
Thanks in advance.
Roget Luo

Hi,
Did you mean that once users first log on Windows 8.1 and IE 11 pops up? Did this issue happened after logging off then logging in and shutting down the PC then restarting to login?
What’s the detailed information about the pop-up? The screenshot would be more helpful for us to determine the issue.
We can check if there is any logon script or task schedule configured in your environment.
For further help you, please provide more information about how you deploy Windows 8.1.
Meanwhile, please help to collect the boot trace for further research.

How to pass the value that the user clicks on

I have a bunch of files that i am displaying. If the user clicks on a file I am taking to another page. I want to capture
the value that the user clicks on as that's the file name.
I am displaying the list of files in a loop and have a href to the next page.
the setAttributes and getAttributes do not work as they capture only the last value in the loop.
Any suggestions what I should use?

The standard approach is to send a request parameter with the click.
You are showing the filenames as hyperlinks?
Then you just have to make the link
<a href="fileDetails.jsp?fileId=<%= currentFile.getFileId() %>">currentFile.getFileName()</a>You can then use request.getParameter("fileId") to find which link was clicked.
Cheers,

How to disable registration screen for all users

Hi, can someone advice how I can disable the registration screen when user first startup Acrobat? I am using Acrobat 9
Thanks

I don't know if you can. Try this.
Make a copy of the registry.
Make a new copy of the registry after registering.
Try to find the difference in the files after comparing registries. Then change the registry for all future installations.

How to disable Airport via Terminal?

I need to disable Airport from Terminal because I have a bunch of G4 iBooks that kernel panic upon login unless booted in safe mode. But in safe mode Airport IS off (that's part of why I suspect it's causing the KPs) - so I can't use System Preferences to 'turn it off' so that it remains off upon normal restart. All of these machines are running OS 10.4.x.
At Mac OS X Hints, I found Enable and disable Airport from the command line which would be perfect - however when I use this command (sudo ifconfig en1 down), the result is "interface en1 does not exist".
In safe mode, System Preferences, I CAN delete the Airport configuration - but that's an 'undoable' action & I'm not sure it's wise. Any suggestions?

Thanks, twtwtw. I know that at least some of these machines were not cloned, because some of the system versions predate the first image I used for that purpose. Some probably were cloned, but they operated for a couple of years before this began.
The (safe mode) output is:

How to disable Planning administrators and interactive users to create or edit calc manager rules in their application ?

Hello,
According to the Calc Manager Designer Guide 11.1.2.3 and my testing :
- Planning administrators can edit the calc manager rules deployed into their Planning application
- Planning interactive users can create their own calc manager rules in their Planning application
But according to our IT governance, they should not be able to do it and specially in a production environment (and they were not able to do it in Planning 11.1.1 with HBR).
Any idea or trick to disable Planning administrators and interactive users to create or edit calc manager rules in their application ?
Thanks in advance.
Philippe

Well as far i Know....
- Planning administrators can edit the calc manager rules deployed into their Planning application ---Its aspected , as admin have to maintain the application and nothing wrong in that....
- Planning interactive users can create their own calc manager rules in their Planning application--They can create thir own rules only when they have proper access to calc mgr..if you don't have given access to calc mgr then they can't.....
Cheers!
