Is it possible to access OS X users on a Windows XP/7 client?

Hey,
I was wondering if it was possible for a windows XP/7 client to access the user profiles on the OS X Server - so basically, when someone logs in to Windows, they can log in with the same credentials as when they log into a Mac?
Thanks,
Nick

I've got this set up at my school as a matter of fact.
In server admin, hit the SMB service.
Click the Settings button at the top.
Change the role to "Primary Domain Controller"
Description and Computer name can be whatever.
The domain name is the FQDN of your Mac Server
Click save.
Assuming that you have users set up on your server with network home directories, you can then go to your PC's and connect to the domain.
You'll need to know the Open Directory Administrator username and password but it will connect.
I've run into a complication where my users can't see their "Documents" folder, but a VB Script tells the PC's to map out the network location h:/Documents to "My Documents."
Another complication is that if you have the "Force user to change password on next logon" checked, the user will get an error when they try to do so on the PC's. Tell them either to sit in front of a mac to do that, or just change it for them.

Is it possible to access user account in an air android app ?

Is it possible to access user account in an air android app in as3 ?
The only thing I've found on internet is that one has to add to its manifest permissions to acccess account :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
and this documentation for native android coding :
http://developer.android.com/training/id-auth/identify.html
thanks for any help.

There is no API in the AIR runtime to get user's accounts.
But you may write an ANE to get the same.

Hi, Is it possible to enable Adobe ReadersX users to save filled forms without enabling them to have access to the additional features as highlighting etc?

You can do that with individual pdf files using Adobe Acrobat to set the security.
In Acrobat go to File>Properties>Security. Choose password security as the security method then choose "restrict editing and printing of the document..." and under "Changes allowed" choose "Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields".

How to provide access to multiple users connected to a Dumb switch? (multi-auth/multi-domain)

Good morning everybody,
I am writing on behalf of not being able to implement a desired outcome in our company network. In fact the situation is as follows:
What I want to do is to be able to authenticate users (802.1x authentication) in our company radius server and authorize them access by having a dynamic VLAN assignment in a multi-user environment on one and the same port of a Cisco 2960 switch. So far, the authentication and authorization has been working completely smoothly (there are no problems with itself). The concept involves the configuration of both DATA and VOICE VLANs as I there is also phone authentication implemented. In order to simulate this environment I introduce a Dumb switch connected to my Cisco 2960 Catalyst.
What I have successfully managed to get to work so far is this:
1) On one switch port I have tried the “authentication host-mode multi-domain” and it worked perfectly for a PC behind a telephone, or with one PC connected to a the dumb switch + the telephone connected to another port of the dumb switch. Logically it is the same situation as there is a separation in two domains – DATA and VOICE. Bellow is an output from show authentication sessions for this scenario.
Interface MAC Address Method Domain Status Session ID
Fa0/23 0021.9b62.b79b dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
Fa0/23 0015.655c.b912 dot1x VOICE Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
2) On the other hand, when I try the same scenario with the “authentication host-mode multi-auth”, the switch still separates the traffic in two domains and is able to authenticate all users, AS LONG AS they are in the same VLAN.
show authentication sessions:
Interface MAC Address Method Domain Status Session ID
Fa0/23 0021.9b62.b79b dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
Fa0/23 b888.e3eb.ebac dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F8008C (user2)
Fa0/23 0015.655c.b912 dot1x VOICE Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
However, I cannot succeed authentication of many users from DIFFERENT VLANs, neither in multi-auth nor in multi-domain modes.
What I want to get is an output like this:
Interface MAC Address Method Domain Status Session ID
Fa0/23 0021.9b62.b79b dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
Fa0/23 b888.e3eb.ebac dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F8008C (user2)
Fa0/23 0015.655c.b912 dot1x VOICE Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
I want the switch to authenticate the users anytime they connect to itself and for them to have an instant access to the network. (I tell this because I tried scenario 1) with multi-domain mode and authentication violation replace, and it worked but, two users never had access to the “Internet” simultaneously!!!
The configuration of the interface connected to the Dumb switch is as follows.
interface FastEthernet0/x
description Connection to DUMBswitch
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan XXX
switchport port-security maximum 10
switchport port-security
switchport port-security violation protect
authentication host-mode multi-auth
authentication priority dot1x
authentication port-control auto
authentication timer reauthenticate 4000
authentication violation replace
dot1x pae authenticator
dot1x timeout tx-period 10
spanning-tree portfast
The way I see it is explained in the following steps:
- PC1 connects to the Dumb switch. This causes the Cisco switch to authenticate user1. This creates an auth. session with its MAC address linked to a domain DATA.
- When PC2 connects to the Dumb switch, this causes the violation replace which replaces the recent authenticated MAC address with the MAC of PC2. I would like it once authenticated to appear in the authentication sessions with a link to a new DATA domain linked to the VLAN assigned from the RADIUS server.
Is this possible? I think (in theory) this is the only way to provide authenticated access to multiple users connecting through Dumb switch to the network.
Has anybody ever succeeded in such a configuration example and if yes, I would be love to get some help in doing so?
Thank you
Stoimen Hristov

Hi Stoimen,
I have done a setup similar to yours with the only exception being VLAN assignment. When I used dACLs only, it makes things somewhat easier as the VLAN no longer matters. Remember that the switchport is in access mode and will only allow a single VLAN across it (with the exception of the voice VLAN). I think that is the real cause of your problem.
From what I can see, you have 2 options available to you:
1) Use dACLs instead of VLAN assignment. This means that an access list will be downloaded from the radius server straight to the authenticated user's session. I have tested this and it works perfectly. Just Google Cisco IBNS quick reference guide and look for the section that deals with Low Impact mode.
2) Get rid of the dumb switches and use managed switches throughout your network. Dumb switches will always be a point of weakness in your network because they have no intelligence to do advanced security features like port security, 802.1x, DHCP snooping, etc.
Hopefully someone else will chime in with another option.

How to restrict the access of "InPlaceRecordsListSettings.aspx" and "InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx" pages for some users and allow the access for some users?

I have a requirement to restrict the access of "InPlaceRecordsListSettings.aspx" and "InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx" pages for some of the users and allow the access for some of the users.
I have applied the below code on the web.config file but this modification impacting only on the web application level not on the site collection and sub site level.
<location path="_layouts/15/InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <deny users="*" />
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
</location>
<location path="_layouts/15/InPlaceRecordsListSettings.aspx">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <deny users="*" />
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
</location>
When I tried the access on
:<portno>/sites/<scname>/_layouts/15/InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx">http://<servername>:<portno>/sites/<scname>/_layouts/15/InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx page allowed the access for all users.
Please suggest the possible solution to restrict the access of "InPlaceRecordsListSettings.aspx" and "InPlaceRecordsSettings.aspx" pages on SharePoint2013.
Thanks
Ramasubbu

You can't do it from OOTB.
_layout folder is accessible to the users if they have read access in any of the site even subsite.
You can modify *.aspx file, add your custom control which will check user.

No, Lightroom catalogs cannot be on a networked (shared) drive, and they do not support simultaneous multi-user access

Denying unwanted access for a user to a database

Hi,
Is there a mechanism in Oracle using which we can deny access to a user based on invalid login attempts made ? For example, in case a user logs in for the first time with an incorrect password, does the same the second time also, so at his third attempt, can we block the user and prevent login for say 24 hours ?
Thanks and Regards,
Mohan.

Although I have not addressed this issue myself, it seems that it would be possible to setup this functionality yourself.
1) Make sure you have auditing turned on.
2) Create a logon trigger that searches audit logs for user from the terminal you are interested in and raises an application error if there as been 3 or more failed "create session" attempts in the last 24 hours.
Regards
Tim Boles
Well this was fun....I am not sure it is "full proof" but I had fun trying to figure it out...took a little bit of researching on google and through the Oracle documents but hey you can tailor it to your needs.
Turn auditing on
Update your initialization file to have audit_trail=true
bounce the database
As sysdba
SQL>audit create session;
SQL>
create or replace trigger logon_time after logon on database
declare numfailed number;
begin
select count(1)
into numfailed
from dba_audit_trail
where ACTION_NAME='LOGON'
and RETURNCODE=1017
and USERHOST=(select sys_context('USERENV','HOST') FROM DUAL)
AND USERNAME=(select sys_context('USERENV','SESSION_USER') FROM DUAL)
and timestamp>trunc(sysdate);
if numfailed > 2
then
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20001,'Not Allowed to Logon Database failed 3 times within 24 hours');
end if;
end;

BOE XI 3.1 - 'View only access' to ADMIN User Account

Guys,
we are using BOE XI 3.1 FixPack 1.6 version.
I want to create a Test ID (for example, Test_ID) which is having ADMIN Access. But i need to provide 'View Only Access' to this Test ID account. Means this Test ID can enter into CMC. But should not modify/delete/add/ users or usergroups or folders in CMC.
Is it possible to provide 'View Only Access' to the user who is having ADMIN access?
Much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Seb,
This is not working. I tried the same in one of the Test ID (This is an Enterprise Account).
But i am getting the message "Account information not recognized: Access is denied" in the CMC login page.
I logged in via Administrator and verified the Test ID. The account is enabled.
Please any help.
Thank you.
regards,
Kiruba v.r.

How can i get that variable. Please give full details if possible.
Put it in other way........How can I know the action user done(create, display, change, copy??) in an user exit???

Change public share access to read only for public and full access to selected users

Hi, new to the community just purchased a recertified WDMyCloud 2TB after my 2 years old MyBookLive 2TB HD died due to accidental power cable unplugging. I've got everything setup including MiniDLNA by following instructions on this forum and everything is working exactly as I want it to except public share. I want public share to be set to read only access for public and full access to certain users (just myself at the moment) and having a "upload" folder within this share with full public access to everything in this folder would be a bonus. I tried login in to ftp with root user and removing write permission for public but that blocks me out as well. I'm sure it's possible by doing some majic on SSH but I wouldn't have a clue so hoping someone here would be able to help me out.

Mr_Khan wrote:
What i want is public to have read only access to file server. Public as in users who do not have a user account on mycloud. E.g someone who connects to to my home network for the first time and is able to browse and download content from public share. I'm aware of being able to set indivual access to shares for users like full access, read only and no access but public users won't have a user account.Through the My Cloud UI interface what you seek to do is not possible. The public share like all other share folders are an all or nothing affair when using the adminstration UI. When using the administration UI you do not have granular control on shared folders to limit non users to read only access or set permission levels for subfolders. The workaround to do what you seek and have the public folder set for read only is to change the folder settings via SSH. It may take some work to set the folder security so that users can read/write to the public folder while the guests only have read access. However, if you reboot the WD My Cloud or update the WD My Cloud firmware those settings may be reset back to the default settings where the entire public folder is read/write for all. There are way to prevent this but again it will take a bit of coding to do so via SSH. See this link (even though its for the WD My Book Live) for a starting point on how to use SSH to change the permission levels on the public folder. Another option if one doesn't go the SSH route is to turn off public sharing for the public folder then create a "guest" user account and give that "guest" account read only access to the public folder while all other user accounts have full read/write access.

Multiple Access Levels per User

In a site I'm building, I need the ability to allow an administrator to intuitively assign different access levels to different users. There may ultimately be roughly 25 different pages to which a user may be granted access. One user may have access to section/page levels 1, 4, 5, 7 and 21. Another user may get access to 2, 3, 4, 17, 19 and 24, etc. While this is possible under the existing ADDT user login system by creating a separate access value that includes only the permissible pages (access level 1 could get to page 1, 4, 5, 7 and 21; access level 2 could only get to pages 2, 3, 4, 17, 19 and 24) it becomes impractical for the administrator since the developer (me) would have to come up with an access value and corresponding permissible pages for every possible combination. Every time a new combination was needed, my client would have to contact me to add that access integer and modify all the corresponding sections/pages that the user could access.
The ideal solution IMHO in this scenario would be for the administrator to simply be able to select or deselect a checkbox at will for each page to which the user is granted access (this is actually the scenario to which another of my feature request post refers:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b75119
In searching the old InterAKT forums, I came across a post in which this exact scenario was requested. The user and Ionut came up with a solution which I was able to modify to enable the system I describe above. Rather than repeating the solution, here is a link to that post:
http://www.interaktonline.com/Products/Dreamweaver-Extensions/MXUserLogin/Product-Forum/De tails/110205/Access+level+based+on+pages.html
While it appears this solution will work for me, it took me quite a while to find it, and even longer to understand it.
So, that's my feature request: The ability for an administrator to easily assign any combination of pages to which a user is granted access, preferably with a set of checkboxes.
Thanks!

This is functioning now. With 9.0 you simply use a forward slash between device IDs.
[device ID #1]/[device ID #2]
Put this information in the "Mobile Device ID" field on the user form.
It also has been verified with 8.82 PL15-16, but I don't know how far back it goes.

Is it possible to access user_views of a schema in remote db?

USER is "SCOTT"
SQL> select name from v$database;

Assuiming NHTEST is a database link to the remote database connecting with SCOTT, use user_Tab_cols@NHTESTNicolas.

If I purchase something on AppleTV is it possible to access it through my iPad without syncing?

Hello I recently purchased an iPad 3 with retina display and I'm using Apple TV and I've just bought a movie on there was wondering if it's possible to access the movie through Apple TV without syncing my iPad to my MacBook Pro? I guess I'm wondering if iCloud has a hub where it shows everything that you've purchased like Apple TV but is accessible on iPad iPhone etc to stream everything with ought having to sync it to the device itself. Sorry If this is a rather basic question I am a new user to all of this thank you for your help I appreciate it!!

If you purchase iTunes content from any device, you should be able to download it to another device from the Purchased section of the itunes app/store. There are some restriction on Movies/TV content based on locale, but in the US it shouldn't be a problem.
On teh iPad, open the iTunes app. Tap Purchased (bottomof screen), then Movies (or TV Shows, etc.) on teh top menu. You can view all of your purchases, or just those not on the iPad, as well as sort by Most Recent or Name.

Possible to access files/folders on Time Capsule?

I'm thinking of buying a Time Capsule. If I backup my Mac with Time Machine, will I then be able to eg. see the pictures from my mac on another Mac in the network? In other words; is it possible to access files and folders instantly from the Time Capsule?

If you mean Time Machine backups, technically you can use it for both, but it presents some problems.
See #Q3 in [Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule|http://web.me.com/pondini/TimeMachine/TimeCapsule.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum) for details and a couple of workarounds.
