Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.

How to allow only the specified users/groups to open my pdf files...

Hi there,
I'm looking for resources/documents describing how to allow only the specified users/groups to open my pdf files by the Java API...
I've found a sample code creating a policy in the following document.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/sdkHelp/programmer/sdkHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/w whelp.htm?context=sdkHelp&topic=learn_lc_sdk_invokeremoting
( API Quick Starts (Code Examples) > Rights Management Service API Quick Starts > Quick Start: Creating a new policy using the Java API )
But the sample code doesn't set recepients( users/groups ) who can open the pdf file.
How can I make it ?
Any samples ? or Does anybody can tell me which Java classes/methods I should use ??
Policy#addPolicyEntry(PolicyEntry policyEntry) ??
PolicyEntry#setPrincipal(Principal principal) ??
or none of them ?
Any hints are appreciated !
Thanks.

I'm not exactly sure what you are tying to do here, but typical approach when issuing one PDF par user/groups scenario goes like:
1. Create policy for specific purpose and add principal (user/group)
2. Apply policy on server side
3. Deliver the file (via email etc...)
If you are looking for sample codes, try quick start.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/help/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/w whelp.htm?&accessible=true
If you go "API Quick Start/Rights Management Service API Quick Starts", you might find something useful. I think you need "Creating Policies" or "Modifying Policies" for step 1 above, and "Applying Policies to PDF Documents" for step 2.
Hope this helps.

To use the "Users & Groups" preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen.

When I try to access some of the system preferences in Mavericks I get an error pane that states "To use the “Users & Groups” preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen."
Has anybody had this problem and if so what is the fix?

Usually happens if you opened one that was 32-bit. Then, you need to revert back to 64-bit.

Can't open Users & Groups preference pane?

I am only user on my MBA. I was going to add wife as another user, but each time I try open User and Groups in System Preferences I get:
Preference Error
Could not load Users & Groups preference pane.
I found this post on the same issue. I also recently upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. I tried to follow the suggestion to open via Terminal app by entering /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Accounts.prefPane, but only got response that it is a directory.

1. You have a corrupt user picture.
2. Read this whole message before doing anything. If you're not sure you understand it, STOP. Get someone with more experience to help you; e.g., by making a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
3. Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now. If you don't have backups, or you don't know how to restore from them without being able to log in, STOP.
4. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Directory Utility.app
Rght-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* The application Directory Utility will open.
5. In the Directory Utility window, click the lock icon and authenticate. Select the Directory Editor tool in the toolbar. Select Users from the Viewing menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Select your user account in the list. On the right is a list of properties and values. Select the property "JPEGPhoto" and delete it by clicking the minus-sign icondirectly below the property list. There are two such icons in the window. You want the one on the right, not the one on the left.
CAUTION: Do not click the minus-sign icon on the left, below the user list.
Then click the Save button in the lower right corner of the window. Quit Directory Utility.
6. Try again to open Users & Groups. If it still doesn't work, repeat the above steps with any other users you created. You'll need to reset the user pictures. Don't use the same ones.
7. Besides the users you created, there are many other items in the user list, representing built-in accounts. Don't change those accounts.
8. CAUTION: There is no "undo" in Directory Utility. If you make a mistake and delete something in the Directory Editor that should not have been deleted, restore your whole system from a backup and start over. I have no other help to offer in that case.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

Users&groups preferences pane wants to open in 32-bit mode

Crazy isn't it? The users&groups preferences pane says: "To use the "Users & Groups" preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen (like with 32-bit pps). when I click ok, it says: "Preferences Error, Could not load Users & Groups preferences pane."

I had to reinstall Lion, just running the installer again, not a clean install and the problem was gone. Just give it a try (hopefully) nothing to lose...

ASA WebVPN. How do you restrict access to users in an AD group using LDAP?

Hi All,
I am trying to configure separate WebVPN connection profiles to give different portal bookmark contents to users based on their AD group membership. This has been very difficult, even though I beleive it should be easy.
The login page of teh ASA by default has a dropdown to allow default users to access the default portal and the SSL VPN client connection.
There are two other portals that I would like to restrict access to based on AD group membership. I have set these up to be selected by URL.
The biggest problem is, I have no way of knowing how to go about this. The AAA LDAP options show a group membership search, which I have configured, but I cannot say "Profile X is restricted to AD group CarpetBaggers", so that if soneone that is NOT a carpetbagger tries to log in, it fails.
I can only do an all or nothing scenario.
It would be nice to use Dynamic Access Policies to do this, and I have created a few, but they do NOT seem to work when the drop down aliases or URLs are in use. So how do I go about using them in this scenario? Turning off the aliases or URLs is not really an option right now.
Scenario 1 would work the best for me. Restrict access to profiles/groups based on AD group membership using LDAP.
Scenario 2 would be an ideal longer term solution.
Any thoughts, ideas or assitance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

This is exactly what i was looking for, and Nelson is correct. When you enter the DAP configuration for a profile click on "Advanced" and there is the option to create a logical expression. The guide (ther is a button to access this) is really helpful, with a couple of examples. This is what i used:
assert(function()
   if ( (type(aaa.ldap.distinguishedName) == "string") and
        (string.find(aaa.ldap.distinguishedName, "OU=Users") ~= nil) )
then
       return true
   end
   return false
end)()
from the debug dap you can see what Users relates to;
DAP_TRACE: Username: MyUsername, aaa.ldap.distinguishedName = CN=Mr B,OU=Users,OU=Site ******,DC=CH,DC=Mycompany,DC=com
My admin account fails to get me in to the same profile:
DAP_TRACE: dap_add_to_lua_tree:aaa["ldap"]["distinguishedName"]="CN=Admin Mr B,OU=Admin Users,OU=Site *****,DC=CH,DC=Mycompany,DC=com"

HELP? How can I recover access to user accounts 10.6.8?

NEED HELP!
Thought the time was right so I upgraded to 10.8 from 10.6. However, I was unaware that Power PC programs don't function in 10.8 so I reinstalled 10.6. from my instalation disc.
There are 3 user accounts on my computer, mine, my son's and my wife's. When booting up I was only able to access my wife's user account. When logging into either my son's or my account all I got was a "jiggle" indicating that the password was wrong. I pretty sure the reason this happened is that my son and I logged in while in 10.8. whereas my wife didn't.
I opened the user preference pane and tried to reset my password (and my son's) but that didn't work.
So my question is, what do I do to recover my son's and my user accounts?

I fixed the problem. Using the boot disc I was able to reset the password. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH6317.

Gmail account suddenly not accessible. How do I gain access?

Had no problem until today accessing my gmail account. When I check for email the screen displays "checking for email" and does not stop displaying "checking for email". I cannot get current email on my iphone.

I can access my gmail normally from any PC. I attempted to delete the
gmail account as you demonstrated and it wouldn't let me. It displayed
account already exists, would you like to edit? or cancel. I use the
gmail 2 step password verification if that info helps you figure this out.
I was able to access my gmail on my iphone for about 2 months after
initiating the 2 step verification process.

Restricting Access via User Groups

So I have created some user groups via the Administration page in APEX. I would like to use these groups to control access to various tabs in my database application. Can someone please tell me how I might go about doing this? I can't seem to locate a good example.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
You can e.g. create an authorization scheme (shared components) - pl/sql function returning boolean.
You can use some functions in apex_util to determine if they should have access. e.g. apex_util.current_user_in_group(p_group_name in varchar2); http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/apex_util.htm#BABHCBEG
Then just apply that authorization scheme to the tab and consequent pages associated to the tab.

How to create secutiry filters and users, groups in system 9

HI,
Could you please help me how to create security filters and groups, users in system 9. I need it very ugent. i am very much thankful to you.. if you respond immediatly.
Thanks,
sudhakar.

In short here's how I did it in 9.3.1 but there are multiple ways to do it.
I'm using MSAD external authentication.
Using EAS right click on database, Edit, Filters. Create your filters.
Then go to Shared Services.
Find the MSAD user/group and provision them to the Essbase database that you have your filters on. Access level is "Filter".
Then go back to EAS and Refresh Security From Shared Services.
Then go back to Shared Services.
Navigate to Projects & then your Essbase server. Find your Essbase database and click on it. To the right it'll populate a list of all the users/groups you provisioned to above. Select all of them and click Next.
Now you should see a drop down at the top showing your filter(s). Click the checkbox(s) next to the users/groups you want to apply that filter to. Click the green checkmark to apply the filter, and repeat for your various filters that you want to apply. Only 1 filter per user/group.
Then go back to EAS and Refresh Security From Shared Services again.
Good luck, hope this helps.

How to create more than 2000 users/groups in a good way.

Hi, guys.I want to create more than 2000 users/groups with Java API. Now I use a regular method to implement this function, login; create a domain; open a maxlsession ; and then call a maxl statement to create a user or a group . I find that the performance of this way is very bad. Can I write a funcation or a marco, which can create these users/groups? If it works, How do I need to write these codes?I have looked over all Java API document, it seems that ESSBASE API don't provide some related api which enables developer to generate a function or a marco. If you know the answer to this question, please tell me. thanks in advance.

Dear Frank,
Thank you so much for your answer. Beside the save point functionality to save the state and values on the screen, do you know other ways to do the same function? Once again, thank you so much.
