How to stop an unauthorized user from changing my password.

How do I block an unauthorized user from constantly changing my password?
I had an old iPod Gen 4 stolen and someone from China is downloading Apps (I get email alerts when they download something and the last message said the computer used is registered in China). I have changed the account password many times. However, days later, I will get an alert email that my password was changed (not by me), or I will try to purchase something and my password will not work. How else can I block this person from changing my password so he/she can use my account? Will changing my user email address work? Should I deactiviate all authorized computers to wipe them out? I do not have any credit cards tied to my account, so they are only downloading free apps.

Hi Gradux,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! In this situation, I suggest contacting the application developer. The information on how to do that can be found in the following article.
iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
Contact the developer
If you see the issue again, contact the developer of the app for help:
Find the app in the App Store.
Tap the app and tap Reviews.
Tap App Support.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

How to stop the option key from changing tools when trying to subtract from a selection?

How to stop the option key from changing my tools when I am trying to subtract from a selection?
I'm running CS3 on Mac OS Leopard, and the automatic tool switching slows me down, but even preferences doesn't show a way to turn this off.
Thanks for your help.

With any marquee tool, JUST holding down the option key should not switch tools. You need to explain the problem much more carefully, It's completely impossible to tell from your description whats going wrong.
automatic tool switching
The only preference related to this, is to do with the SHIFT KEY - "use Shift key for tool switch".

Read this to find out how to add/update/delete users and change/reset passwords programmatically

WebLogic 7.0
I have read a number of questions on how to do these but not many answers, so
after figuring it all out, I thought I would post a message describing all these
tasts (It would be great if BEA would start something like 'HOW-TOs for Linux'
for WebLogic)
-1. Imports required :
import weblogic.jndi.Environment;
import weblogic.management.MBeanHome;
import weblogic.management.WebLogicObjectName;
import weblogic.management.configuration.DomainMBean;
import weblogic.management.configuration.SecurityConfigurationMBean;
import weblogic.management.security.RealmMBean;
import weblogic.management.security.authentication.AuthenticationProviderMBean;
import weblogic.management.security.authentication.GroupEditorMBean;
import weblogic.management.security.authentication.UserEditorMBean;
import weblogic.management.security.authentication.UserPasswordEditorMBean;
import weblogic.security.providers.authentication.*;
0. Code to retrieve DefaultAuthenticatorMBean (this code is running inside WebLogic
server - I have it inside EJB):
DefaultAuthenticatorMBean authBean;
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
MBeanHome mbeanHome = (MBeanHome) ctx.lookup(MBeanHome.ADMIN_JNDI_NAME);
//Find UserEditorMBean
DomainMBean dmb = mbeanHome.getActiveDomain();
SecurityConfigurationMBean scmb = dmb.getSecurityConfiguration();
RealmMBean rmb = scmb.findDefaultRealm();
AuthenticationProviderMBean[] providers = rmb.getAuthenticationProviders();
for (int i = 0; i < providers.length; i++) {
if (providers[i] instanceof DefaultAuthenticatorMBean) {
authBean = (DefaultAuthenticatorMBean) providers;
break;
1. Create/Drop/Update users
to perform these tasks, the user must be logged in into weblogic and be in Administrators
group. Then, the code is as follows:
create user: authBean.createUser(username, password, description);
remove user: authBean.removeUser(username);
change user's description: authBean.setUserDescription(username, newDescription);
remove user from group: authBean.removeMemberFromGroup(groupname, username);
add user to group: authBean.addMemberToGroup(groupname, username);
2. Change other users' passwords (MUST BE ADMIN TO DO THIS - by Admin I mean be
a member of Administrators group)
authBean.resetUserPassword(username, newPassword);
3. Change your own password:
this is a bit trickier, because if you are not an admin, you can't change your
own password!!!! This is a part that I personally don't understand - seems like
a screw up on BEA's part. So, to allow users to change their own passwords, you
must change security context in the middle of processing to that of Admin user
and run this function as Admin user. Although a bit ackward, it's very easy to
do. Suppose you have two EJBs - EJB A and EJB B. EJB A does normal processing
for the user and always runs in logged in user's security context. Now, suppose
you want to add a method to EJB A to change current password. The method may
look like:
public void changePassword(String logon, String oldpwd, String newpwd)
throws some exceptions
Now, there is no way to do it in EJB A, because for most users, it will run in
a 'non-admin' security context. So, to get around it, you create another
EJB - EJB B. This EJB has one method:
public void changePassword(String logon, String oldpwd, String newpwd)
throws some exceptions
and one major difference - this EJB always runs in a secrity context of admin
user. To get an EJB B running 'as admin user', all you have to do in EJB A is
the following
EJB A:
public void changePassword(String logon, String oldpwd, String newpwd)
Hashtable props = new Hashtable();
props.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "wlmanager");
props.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "password");
// get context that with different credentials
Context ctx = new InitialContext(props);
EJBBHome home = (EJBBHome) ctx.lookup("EJBBHome");
EJBBLocal adminEJB = home.create();
adminEJB.changePassword(logon, oldpwd, newpwd);
adminEJB.remove();
of course, this poses a problem of hardcoding user id and password for admin user
in your application - you can come up with your own ways to secure that.
THAT's IT!!! You can use the method explained in part 3 to allow non-admin users
to do pretty much everything, however for the sake of security, I would definetly
vote against it and use part 3 to ONLY allow users change their own passwords
Enjoy

I have a similar question, I would like to edit the artwork for EACH episode in the podcast, as well as have one artwork for the entire podcast series. Any suggestions? This is a podcast that I've created -- I did the same thing for a TV Show where I was able to do custom artwork for each episode, but not one single artwork for the entire series. Does anyone have suggestions of how i should proceed?
Recap:
One image for entire Podcast Series (or TV show)
Different Set of Images for each episode in Podcast. (Understand how to do this in TV show)

How to stop zen micro firmware from changing ID3 ta

Hello
I use itunes to organise my music and whenever i use creative software to put music on my creative zen micro it doesn't understand the tagging, so i edit it again before i upload it onto my player.
My problem is that when i edit it in creatives program it changes the tagging of the file on my pc and i don't want it to do that as it's allready organised the way i want it.
Also there is a little box where you do the editing for creative which says save id3 tags. I always leave that unchecked and it still goes and saves the information. Am I missing something? How do i stop it from doing that?
Cheers,
Kel

How to stop size of JTextField from changing when I change font to bold

I'm working on a Sudoku solver for a CS project. I've got JTextFields for the input. I want to bold the entries of the begining puzzle, like they are in the magazines. When I set the font to bold, it changes the size of the text field. I'm using the gridbaglayout and have tried everything to set in stone the size of a text field, but nothing seems to work. I've set the maximum, minimum size, the setSize method, as well as setting the prefered size. But no matter, when I change the font from plain to bold, the box grows in size. How do I prevent this from happening. I can post my gui code if it would help.
Here is a link to my grid, with the upper left square having bold text:
http://12.227.129.113/CS486/Project4/Project4.html

add them to panel/s set as a gridlayout 9 x 9, or (3 x 3) x (3 x 3)
simple demo of a 9 x 9
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class Testing extends JFrame
JTextField[] tf = new JTextField[81];
public Testing()
    setLocation(200,100);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridLayout(9,9,5,5));
    for(int x = 0, y = tf.length; x < y; x++)
      tf[x] = new JTextField(2);
      tf[x].setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.CENTER);
      p.add(tf[x]);
    tf[0].setFont(tf[0].getFont().deriveFont(Font.BOLD));
    tf[0].setText("9");
    tf[1].setText("3");
    tf[66].setFont(tf[66].getFont().deriveFont(Font.BOLD));
    tf[66].setText("9");

How to restrict non root users from changing proxy settings Ubuntu 12.04?

I have two Ubuntu 12.04 Desktops with Ncomputing vSpace software configured for remote terminal users of Ncomputing L300 thin clients. Both these desktops have Squid configured and connected to internet. So in a way users logging in to these machines can directly access internet without squid. Now users can remove the proxy and have unrestricted access anytime. Which is the reason I want to enforce proxy on users settings which they cannot change. I am fine if the settings makes it mandatory for root or sudo user of Ubuntu. Is this possible ?

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

How to stop the users from changing User Profile

Hai,
It is not possible to restrict SU3 to display, because it has only S_TCODE has the authorization object.
If you really want to restrict users from changing their profile you have to remove the SU3 access and give SU1 or SU2 which gives access only to Personnel details and Parameters.
Hope this helps.

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility? My company is using an Airport Extreme in our office now and I want to prevent other employees from messing with the network/settings. Is there a way to place a password on the settings to allow only the admin to access the network name and password?

Hi - you have will have to change the device passwords on all the base stations and then don't give them to anyone except the administrators and tell them not to save them on their computers that use the older versions of the Airport Utility - for the newer versions like the mobile apps, as soon as you enter the pasword it is saved and is visible in the advanced pane along with the network password - so if anyone gets a hold of your iPad or iPhone, they can edit the whole network - I have this same issue with my networks in the office and it is inconvenient but doable - I hope this helps

How to prevent user from changing a field on a Form.

I have a form and a report on the same page. The form is used to set criteria for the report. So after the criteria is entered on the form a button is clicked, which passes the criteria to the report. The form also displays some additional data based on the criteria, i.e. I do a query on the form.
The problem I'm having is preventing the user from changing the additional data which is displayed. I tried all the wizzard options; i.e. not updatable, not insertable etc. but the user can still change the data.
The only options seems to be writting some Java code for one of the triggers, but I haven't written any Java before.
So I was wondering if anyone has a non-Java solution for this problem or an example of a Java program I could use to solve the problem.
Thanks for any help
Larry

Hi,
Suppose you want Empno, Sal fields of Employee table as Query only and all other fields user updateable then
uncheck all the three check boxes
Mandatory , Updatable , Insertable under validation options for those fields.
When you run the form, these fields appear as text items in query mode and will appear labels once the querying done.
Hope it works

Is there a way to prevent users from changing the Advanced, Connection, Settings Tab?

I need to stop network users from changing the proxy settings to avoid the firewall. Is there any way to disable or prevent them from getting to the advanced, connections tab, and changing the settings for the proxy?

You can lock the corresponding prefs, then users won't be able to change the settings.

Prevent user from changing calendar permission

Hi team,
How to prevent users from changing calendar permission in outlook. When user open calendar option in Outlook he should either he should able to view the calendar sharing tab or he should not able to make modification in calendar permission by assigning permission
to others.

Hi,
Agree with Andy. Exchange has no built-in feature to prevent mailbox owner to modify their calendar permissions. Since they are owners, they can set their calendar permissions.
Thanks for your understanding.
