ID and UID

hi
doing a uniuser-request like the following:
[~/ocal/bin] ./uniuser -ls -host host.name.ch -n <node-id> -p <sysoppassword>
i get the following:
S=Muster/G=Susanne/C=CH/P=COMPANY/ID=384/UID=1111/ENABLE=TRUE/LANG=de/
+ NODE-ID=<node-id>/O=COMPANY
is there another possibility to find out the ID then using the command line? I could not find the ID over the admin-gui. Over the admin-gui I only can see the UID
we use this ID for other programms to query data about the users holidays etc.
any idea?
thanks and regards
bettina

The message UID is generated by the receiving server and should be unique.
From: http://www.catalyst.com/support/help/cstools4/mail/control/messageuidproperty.html
The MessageUID property returns a string which uniquely identifies the message on the server. The identifier is assigned by the mail server, and retains the same value across multiple client sessions. This value is typically used when the client wants to leave a message on the mail server, but does not wish to retrieve the message contents multiple times. For example, the client can store the UID for each message that it retrieves, but does not delete from the server. The next time that it connects to the mail server, it compares the UID of a message against the stored values. If there is a match, the client knows that the message has already been retrieved, and does not need to do so again.
This property requires that the mail server support the optional UIDL command. If the command is not supported, this property will always return an empty string. Note that the UID for the message comes from the mail server and is not the same as the Message-ID header field in the message itself.

Difference Between Id and UID in MS Project

i am new to microsoft project.i have to develop an app in another platform.i have many sample MS-project xml files.in all the files
ID and UID value of Tasks is same.i want to know is there any scenario exist in which value of ID node will be different from UID Node in Task.Please respond.

Hi,
While creating tasks, both UID and ID will be populated starting from 1 to
n, n being the number of tasks in your project plan.
But as soon as you move tasks in your project plan or remove/insert some tasks, the UID will be kept whereas the ID will be updated to reflect the order of the tasks in the plan. See below I remove task c and move at the end task b. UID are kept but ID is
updated:
By the way, as you can see, the ID value is the one in the left greyed column.
Hope this helps,

System authentication wifi - gid and uid settings

I have a long standing problem with System Authentication on WEP Enterprise wifi.
Authentication worked yesterday but not today (see screenshots). I see in Directory Utility that I can make uid and gid static but not sure what that means. Is there any one who understands how System Authentication in 802.1x works along with OS X's integration of active directory?

You can setup "locations" in network preferences. I have a Macbook and I have setup a "home wifi" setting and a "cafe" setting.
My "home" setting allows me to use a user set IP address with pre-set dns servers and my "cafe" setting allows dhcp IP settings given by the router.
Good Luck

GID and UID for news

I have built packages for INN, a news server capable of being a private server with only a few groups, to a massive server running thousands fo groups, which seem to have a bit of a problem with what UID and GID the news user and group has.
The only news server that is an official package is sn which uses a UID of 9 and a GID of 13.
Is there an official place to lookup sub 500 UID's and GID's, and or register them for news or indeed any other user?

Hi Mohan,
On linux systems you cannot bind to ports lower than 1025 unless you are a privileged user (AKA root). On the other hand, you don't want to run a lon-running process like weblogic as a root user.
So the solution is to start up weblogic as privileged user, bind to low port numbers (usually 80 for HTTP, 161 for SNMP and such) and then weblogic itself changes the user that runs it's process to a low-privilege user such as "nobody" or a dedicated user you create.
Anywhere in this post "user" can be substituted for "group".
Hope I explained well,
Eli

Help with WindowsDesktopSSO and AMIdentity.getAttributes

Hi guys and girls,
I need some help from you experts.
I successfully setup, thanks to this guide
http://blogs.oracle.com/knittel/entry/opensso_windowsdesktopsso
and a lot of trial & errors and googling a Kerberos authentication between OpenAM version 9.5.2 and an Active Directory Server.
When I navigate to openAM page (from a domain machine) http://<openAMhost>:<port>/opensso, it doesn't ask for credentials ...
and I can see, with ieHttpHeaders, kerberos data exchange.
Without creating an Active Directory DataStore (pointing to the same domain where I use kerberos data) in openAM,
when I navigate (from a domain machine) to /opensso/idm/EndUser page, it always gives me:
"Plug-in com.sun.identity.idm.plugins.ldapv3.LDAPv3Repo encountered an ldap exception. LDAP Error 32: The entry specified in the request does not exist."
Since my aim was to get user information from a web app ... I thought I could have done this with an agent/SDK call as I usually do with "classic" authentication.
Now I created a J2EE Agent (on openAM) to protect one of my application deployed on a JBoss 4.2.1-GA server.
Agent configured with default options and these changes:
Agent Filter Mode: J2EE_POLICY
User Mapping Mode: USER_ID
User Attribute Name: tried both with employeenumber and uid
User Principal Flag: enabled
User Token Name: UserToken
FQDN Check: tried both with enabled and disabled
WebAuthentication Available : Enabled
In my application WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml looks like this:
     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
     <jboss-web>
          <security-domain>java:/jaas/AMRealm</security-domain>
     </jboss-web>Usually, when I authenticate with "classic" (internal datastore) login, I can get user attributes programmatically with a code like this:
       private String getCredenzialiUtente(HttpServletRequest request)
            String                 SSOUsername      = null;
            SSOToken               ssoToken      = null;
            SSOTokenManager        manager           = null;
              try
                manager = SSOTokenManager.getInstance();
                if ( manager == null)
                     throw new RuntimeException("Unable to Get: SSOTokenManager");
                String ssoTokenID = AmFilterManager.getAmSSOCache().getSSOTokenForUser(request);
                ssoToken = manager.createSSOToken(ssoTokenID);
                if ( ssoToken == null )
                      throw new RuntimeException("Unable to Get: TokenForUser");
                AMIdentity amid = new AMIdentity(ssoToken);
                if(amid == null)
                   throw new RuntimeException("Unable to Get: UserIdentity");
                SSOUsername = amid.getName();
                System.out.println("######### USERNAME FROM SSO: " + SSOUsername);
                Set<String> info = new HashSet<String>();
                info.add("uid");
                info.add("givenName");
                java.util.Map mappa = amid.getAttributes(info);
                if ( mappa != null )
                    java.util.Set insieme = mappa.keySet();
                    java.util.Iterator it = insieme.iterator();
                    while ( it.hasNext() )
                        String n = it.next().toString();
                        System.out.println( n + " ==> " + mappa.get(n) );
                else
                    System.err.println(" DAMN - NO ATTR ");
          catch (Exception exception)
            exception.getMessage();
            exception.printStackTrace();
          System.out.println("OUT getCredenzialiUtente: " + SSOUsername);
          return SSOUsername;
        }        When I log to console with default "ldapService" module (outside the domain), I can get something like:

What am I missing ? It "crashes" as for getAttributes() call :/
I thought it could be because I didn't setup LDAP DataStore ... so I set up Active Directory Data Store.
While in openAM console (from outside domain) I can see (from Subjects tab) Active Directory users and relative information
(like FirstName (=givenName), Surname (=sn), Full Name (=cn), etc.) ... when I try again with idm/EndUser (from a domain machine)
I get the same error:
     Message:Plug-in encountered an ldap exception. LDAP Error 32: The entry specified in the request does not exist.What should I do now ?
If you need more clarifications ... just ask :)
Thank you in advance and sorry for the big post.
Best Regards,
Tony
P.D. By the way, my OpenAM configuration does not create any "amAuthWindowsDesktopSSO.log" :(
I setup, from opensso/Debug.jsp message level for Authentication ... but it still doesn't create this log ... can you please tell me how to let openAM write it ?
Again thank you

Weird enough, changing to ADAM data store (and not "standard" AD datastore) solved the problem :D
I still wonder why since both plugins share the same java [implementing] class...

Mobile account setup stops syncing and acts like a network user

Mobile account setup stops syncing and acts like a network user system under ODM
Setup: Mobile laptop users authenticating against an ODM. Every user has a networked home directory on an Xserve. The whole setup is 10.4 (client and server). All systems run a standard image. Most effected systems have been re-imaged since the onset of the issue.
Issue: Some of the users are not syncing properly every time. It is as if the system forgets it is a mobile system and reverts to using the User's network home (instead of saving to /Users and syncing). If the user is effected, the system will not even accept cached credentials if they are off network. This forgetfulness does not seem to follow any pattern and does not effect all of our mobile users.
In mucking about trying to find a cause to this issue I ran across an oddity in all effected systems Netinfo database. The users are each listed twice. Each entry has the same username, short name and UID. Also, In each case one record looks wrong... this varies somewhat from user to user, but in each case there is marked difference in the record's contents. Deleting the incomplete record in Netinfo manager seems to solve the issue (seems, as we are very early in testing this).
Anyone have a clues as to where this double came from? The only lead so far is that it looks like the users having issues pre-date the use of mobile accounts. At some time they all had local accounts that authenticated against the ODM but never synced or had networked home directories. The pool of users who just got laptops (and thus never had a local account) seem unaffected so far.
Also, what is the best way to browse the ODM master to find these duplicates?

I have a similar issue with computers bound to Active Directory. Users occasionally have a problem logging into their computers even though their account is fine. Logging in as Admin and running netinfo manager always shows duplicate user accounts. Deleting the one that says disabled always clears up the issue. I'd like to find a startup script that would delete the disabled account, thus preventing the issue.

WPA PEAP No working under 10.4.8 and Macbook Pro C2D

After the Core 2 Duo upgrade I finally decided to buy a Macbook Pro to use at work.
Everything working fine so far (Love the MBP) except that at work we are using a Radius Server to authenticate with PEAP under WPA for wireless.
I created the 802.1x connection and after giving it the Network name and UID and pwd (SID is not broad casted) it sees the network and connects OK (after accepting the certificate) but I do not get an IP from the DHCP.
I looked at the forum discussions and apparently this has been an issue before o certain Intel machines but was fixed on 10.4.6 or so, well apparently is brocken again.
Called Apple Support but they did not know how to resolve.
Anyone else having the problem?

If anyone is interested the problem of instability resurfaced despite doing an archive and instal to reinstal 10.4.8 and then go through the upgrade process from there to instal the updates to bring it back to 10.4.10. Even after that the instability got to the stage that I only had to sneeze and it would crash.
Ultimately I resorted to backing up all my data onto a 120Gb USB HD, erased the HD drive and started from the beginning again with the discs that came with the MBP. As you can imagine that was a long process and took me from about 4pm in the afternoon to 1am in the morning. Eyes were hanging out of my head after that effort.
So far I have not had any further problems.
I really don't know now to what extent that Safari 3 Beta was the cause of all my instability problems but the crash logs seemed to point to it. Some people are reporting no problems with Safari 3 whatsoever so that begs the question if there was a conflict with some 3rd party application I was running or something got corrupted that could not be repaired for whatever the reason.
After the rebuild I was thinking that re-establishing my iPhoto and iTunes library would be a slow nightmarish process by having to import each photo group or each iTunes album one at a time. I chose to gamble on copying the entire directory for iPhoto and the entire directory for iTunes across from my USB HD. Well I needn't have worried because it worked perfectly. I also had copied out some user/library/.... folders and gambled on copying them back after rebuild in the hope of restoring various setups etc and that worked too. Things like Application Support files, Mail files, selected Preferences, Safari bookmarks and history and Widgets. That sort of approach worked on my well used Windows XP box so thought it would work on the MBP. Worst case is that I would have had to start all over again if I messed it up.

10.3 and 8.1 at the same time

I'm trying to run 10.3 and 8.1 at the same time and have had no luck so far.
I have:
installed 10.3 in a new directory, C:\bea103
I'm running 8.1 in the default C:\bea
changed the point base ports in 8.1
changed the http/https ports in 8.1 to 8001/8002
any ideas on what else I should do?

Hi
Did you change this 8453 to someother value for one of the domains. This looks like a Pointbase DB Debug Port. First change main pointbase db port and then change this debug port value also in setDomainEnv.cmd file.

Re@lted t0 bluetooth dongle, stack and configuration.. .......

Hi to all,
Those r new or require some more info realted to STACK and statring the prohect read the following page
http://www.cs.hku.hk/~fyp05016/kyng/bt_j9.htm
This is may be benifical to u.
Anyhow, i am making the my final year project related to Bluetooth and i am trying to use AVETANA which can be dowloaded from the following link:
http://www.avetana-gmbh.de/avetana-gmbh/downloads/relicense.idmexieubncmqxqphuvrohkpjcgwbv.eng.xml
After u visit this link u will see that, avetana require three bluetooth address. I have inputed the address 22:22:22:22:22:22 ( or 22-22-22-22-22-22). I have extracted this address from start-run-ipconfig/all after i install the device dirver software "BlueSoleil_1.6.2.1" in Win XP OS. My bluetooth dongle is "ISSC Bluetooth Device" which i extracted from Device Manager (Start - Right Click My computer - Properties - Hardware - Device Manager). Moreover my VID and UID of the bluetooth dongle is "USB\VID_1131&PID_1001". I have even cheked the microsoft XP site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841803/
for the sake of conformation that whether my bluetooth dongle is supported my Win XP sp2 and the above VID and UID is not present there.
Now the problem is that site doesnot accept my above written address, and so i am unable to download the avetana,,,
In the end(after searching on the net) I have concluded that might the following reason may be there:
1) my bluetooth dongle is either of some local company manufacturer which is not recognized by win XP
2) i am using wrong device driver
3) i am unable to configure properly the bluetooth device.
Moreover, even after installing the device driver (BlueSoleil_1.6.2.1) i am unable to see any bluetooth icon in the Control panel so that i can see/change the bluetooth property.
Plz help me up..
and if i am thinking correct, which company dongle i should purchase or which other bluetooth stack (say like atinav, BlueCove) i should use...
I even want to know that with respect to stack (say atinav) i need to purchase the dongle or not..
moreover, i donot want to buy any stack as this is only my academic project so i donot have so much money to buy a stack (like atinav)
thx in advance..

V$sql and v$sqlarea

Go no replies under DB General, trying over here.
I am trying to understand parsing_user_id and child_number in v$sql and how the numbers roll up into v$sqlarea. Here are some examples:
SQL> select hash_value, parsing_user_id, child_number, executions, disk_reads, first_load_time
2 from v$sql
3 where hash_value = 4282625122;

Given that uid 0 is SYS, and that each hash_value identifies the same unique sql statement and SGA address, and the second example shows what I would expect when multiple users execute the same cached sql:
1. Why does the first one report the actual app user (134) associated with child 2, and uid 0 children (0 and 1)?
2. How do the SYS (puid=0) records get created?
3. Why are there no stats other than executions associated with the puid of 0? (I just included disk_reads as an example). Are the numbers in v$sqlarea correct?
Insight appreciated.

So, kindly let me know the retention period of the queries in the v$sql or v$sqlarea.They remain in SGA, until Oracle overwrites them.
There is no "rule" on how long or how little they exist.

Can't establish ftp connection between a Xserve and a PB

We want to use a Xserve (Mac OS X Server 10.4.8) to provide webhosting, but experience problems in establishing ftp connections using a PowerBook (Mac OS X 10.4.8).
On a WinXP-based notebook using the same Internet connection, anything works fine, just not on my PowerBook.
This is what happens when trying to establish a ftp connection (via terminal):
I type: ftp [email protected]
Returns:
220 star1.local FTP server ready.
331 Password required for user.
I provide the password, anything looks fine, get this output:
230 User starenterprise logged in.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp>
Okay, now I want to see what files are in the directory using "dir" command ("ls" brings same result). This output is shown:
502 'EPSV': command not understood.
227 Entering Passive Mode (132,78,123,92,42,115)
Now I can either press CTRL+C to escape or when waiting around one minute, then it states this:
421 Service not available, remote server timed out. Connection closed
On a ftp client software like CuteFTP Mac it shows "Can't open data connection" instead of, but result is the same.
I read through some articles I found here, but nothing compared to my problem. Please help.
I should mention one thing Apple's support told me: Since I have the same username and UID on my PowerBook as well as on the xServe, it could bring problems. However I have then added a new user to my PowerBook, result is the same. And Apple's support left helpless so far.

You said: "Not really answered, the problem persists and I now go on and let
Apple work on it again"
As a native English speaker, I must say (and doubt any would disagree) that
your statement implied: "No one here has actually helped me fix this problem,
and now I'm waiting for Apple to fix it"
Please take care to the word "again" I used; this implies that Apple has tried to solve the issue before but failed (in fact, they stated to call me back, but this is weeks ago) and so I posted this here at the discussions.
Unfortunately I only have access to the "free" support (well, free is not the right word when paying 12 cents per minute for the phone call).
And this means (at least I can speak for the German part of Apple) that operators on the phone look at their knowledgebase and sending articles by e-mail; questions going deeper are resulting in a "we call you back" answer. Sometimes they phone back, sometimes not. Sometimes they are helpful, sometimes (or should I say "in most cases") they just give hints or ask me to investing a nice amount into premium support.
Don't misunderstand me in the direction that I demand assistance from this forum - I'm more than gradeful if I get help (and rewarded this always with giving points), it has saved me several times (many, many, many times) for doing time consuming investigations and making trial-and-error experiences by myself. If I cannot get more assistance, well I have to look elsewhere and so be a bit impertinent to Apple's support. Perhaps it helps
You are right, FTP itself works correctly. It even works fine on the WinXP notebook residing at the same LAN as my PB. Therefore the issue is at the PB's firewall very likely (or a strange relationship between two firewalls which seems not to affect WinXP).
But as you indicate, it makes no sense to lower down security just for doing ftp, especially since SSH works well. However since I have no problems doing ftp sessions with other servers, I would be eager to find the reason why it refuses in this case, even this just means feeding my curiosity
So if I come to new insights, I post them here. But I feel that I'll really need your wishes for luck to solve this problem Let's see...

Gnu Screen and 10.5

So, does anyone else have problems with Gnu Screen and OSX 10.5? If I use the box-shipped version, my PATH is completely ignored, and it doesn't understand deflogin or login in my .screenrc file.
If I use the macports version, I get UTMP problems and unless I manually create /var/run/utmp, eventually /etc/sudoers and passwd gets updated, and UID 501 is no longer in the passwd file!

That's actually not screen's fault.
When bash starts, it will read either .profile_bash or .bashrc but not both, depending whether it is a shell process or subprocess.
On X-window based systems, one of these (I can never remember which) gets read when the root window starts, and then the other gets read when every sub-process starts. On OS X this approach breaks down.
There is a slightly different bug I have been seeing, and I think it is due to multi-threading. Basically the screen session starts before the $PATH gets entries like /sw/bin or /opt/local/bin set. I never figured out how, but my hackish workaround is simply to start screen and then invoke the process I want, rather than to do it all in one command. (This gets annoying if you are writing shell scripts that invoke screen).

How can I parse email activation link and do some action?

I have som email activation link
http://localhost:8085/application/activate.jsf?id=10&key=35435454654654654646
I want when user clicked on this url ,
automatically do action in bean and activate his account or not.
I receive parameters key and id from requestParameterMap, but I do not want put on the page commandLink and do action after clicking on it.
key = (String) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("key");
    id = (String) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext()
            .getRequestParameterMap().get("id");
    How can I do this?
I have some method activation () and I want run it after receiving key and uid ,
May be I need phase listener? If yes, can you provide simple example.

I'm afraid you'll have to use some kind of action listener; that's how jsf commandLink and commandButtons are design to work
OR
you could achieve your goal by writing a servlet mapped to the url . capture your request parameters and do the activation in your servlet.

NFS Permissions Inconsistency (get info, Finder, and PathFinder)

This is the dangdest thing, and I've never noticed it before trying to get CocoaTech's PathFinder to work...
I've got some NFS exports on my MythTV box using squash_all and setting gid and uid to 105 -- which is mythtv.mythtv on the Linux box. Hence I can connect from my Macs and everything else just perfectly fine without having to screw with gids and uids on any of the machines. No muss, no fuss.
Now when I try to use PathFinder, I get read-only access to everything on the mounted shares. Closer examination in Finder (which works rw!) is such that I can read and write and do everything like I've always been able to do, but when using Get-Info on anything in that nfs share, the Get-Info window indicates that I have "read only" access the file or directory or whatever I'm looking at! But that's not really the case, because Finder works perfectly for me!
Any idea what's going on here, or how to make PathFinder work with squashed NFS exports?

Hi Chilled_Penguin, and a warm welcome to the forums!
How full is the HDD?
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, Reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
At least if it doesn't fix it, it'll eliminate a few questions.

IMAP: copying messages and flags

Hello!
Can anybody help me? I write a webmail application using JavaMail, and need to move messages to another folder (e.g to Trash). I move messages like that:
source.copyMessages(messages, dest);
but new messages have no flags (Messages in source folders were SEEN, ANSERED...) I am ready to iterate through all moved messages in dest folder, but I have no idea about new messages indentifiers As far as I know, message numbes and uids are folder-specific, so new messages (in new folder) have different identifiers.
Can anybody help me how to recognize "my" messages in new folder? Or, even better, how to move messages WITH their flags?
Thanks in advance,

I'm using Mail 2.1 (752/752.2) talking to a Cyrus IMAP server running on the same machine. Messages are kept on the server. I have a GnuPG mail plugin. Ever since the last update of Mail I've had the problem of random "read" messages returning to the "unread" state, and not just in INBOX, but in other folders, all on the server. I've read them, did "Synchronize" and they soon show up as "unread" again. I've read them, quit Mail, restarted Mail, and they are "unread" again. Sounds like what other people are seeing.
So I wrote a program that talks directly to the IMAP server to see what it thinks about the "read" status. Sure enough, messages that have a sitcky "unread" state do not have the IMAP "\Seen" flag set. In other words Mail is not setting this flag for some reason. (I've check this several times, before and after Mail is supposed to mark a message "read," after quiting Mail, etc., and the "\Seen" flag is never set.)
If I use my prober program to manually set the "\Seen" flag on a message, then it stays "read." That message never again pops to the the "unread" state; however, random new messages get stuck in the "unread" state. So far the only way I have been able to mark these sticky messages as "read" is to talk directly to the IMAP server.
I believe this strongly indicates the problem lies in Mail itself and not the IMAP server. I believe there was some regression with this new version of Mail because I've never had the problem before. To conclusively prove Mail is at fault, though, I would have to eavesdrop on the communication between Mail and IMAP.
