Jumpstart: Disable user registration in Solaris 10 x86 8/07

Earlier Solaris version let you disable the user registration screen by adding DISABLE=1 to /etc/default/solregis or not installing SUNWsregu. That doesn't work with Solaris 10 x86 8/07. There is no SUNWsregu package.
Can this still be disabled?

Confirmed: I just jumpstarted with Solaris 10 x86 (10/09) AKA Update 8, and touched the .nvreg file into existence with a finish script. The system no longer prompts to register at first login.
Finish script code snipit:
if [ -d ${BASEDIR}/usr/lib/breg/data ]; then
touch ${BASEDIR}/usr/lib/breg/data/.nvreg
fi

Disabling User in Solaris

Is there anyway to change the way the resource adapter for Solaris and Linux disables users so that it uses the native lock provided through passwd rather than setting a random password?

rather than setting a random password?No there is no way to do that.
The usage of passwd -d and or -l is limited to certain installations. If you read the man page for passwd you will see that it only works for files as the repository not for any of the other possibilities (NIS or NIS+ or ldap). It also depends on PAM modules to implement this and they do not have to be configured on the system.

Core 2 Duo and solaris x86 11/06 works for me

This is FYI, since I seen (and posted) problems, but I haven't seen the solution posted.
I have successfully gotten solaris x86 11/06 to install and run on my core 2 duo machine. I had tried solaris x86 06/06, but I could only run in 32bit mode until patch 118855-19 was installed. It looks like 118855-33 is the baseline for 11/06.
With 06/06 I had to edit the grub command and add " kernel/unix" to the end of the 2nd line. This would force 32 bit mode rather than 64 bit. If I tried 64 bit, it would enter an endless reboot cycle. Once I installed the patch to 118855-19 I could run solaris 10 06/06 in 64 bit mode without issue.
Again, since solaris 10 11/06 is at 118855-33, it runs on my core2 machine straight from the install.
Hope this helps

On a laptop there is little point with running a 64-bit operating system unless it physically has more than 4gb of ram, or if you are processing datasets exceeding 4GB of ram. Unless you're into assembly or use Solaris for some reason to manipulate media, little is to be gained by using 64-bit versions if anything. The increased pointer, integer, and padding causes more memory to use for the same software, most software on 64-bit operating systems runs in 32-bit mode because there is no need to have 16 exabyte memory addressing capability for anything but media encoders, giant databases, or extremely bloated single-threaded software. Sun Java Creator takes a heck of a lot of ram, but even at peak it's still under 4GB. If you move files bigger than 4GB, the ability to memory map all 4096MB might have less overhead on a 64-bit operating system, but generally from an end-user perspective, especially on a fast Intel or Opteron system, you won't notice the difference much. Solaris is bi-arch, a large chunk of Windows Vista and XP x64 is bi-arch, and most of FreeBSD and Linux are bi-arch in 64-bit versions, as I said, no point in making everything 64-bit. 64-bit device drivers is an issue for every OS, you should stick with 32-bit on a laptop, and hold off on desktops unless you need extended assembly registers available only in 64-bit mode.

Oracle 10G release 1 only support up to Solaris 9.
You probably need to install 10G release 2. The second release of major Oracle version is always more stable anyway.

Disable CPU core in Solaris 10

Hi,
can anybody help me to disable cpu core in solaris 10. my server is Sparc T4-1 server (1 physical processor with 8 core 64 threads). I am able to disable threads using psradm, but not sure about disabling core.
thanks
Sajith.P.V

You can disable a single core in solaris using "psradm -f <cpu id>"
man page for psradm
The psradm utility changes the operational status of proces-
sors. The legal states for the processor are on-line, off-
line, spare, faulted, and no-intr.
An on-line processor processes LWPs (lightweight processes)
and can be interrupted by I/O devices in the system.
An off-line processor does not process any LWPs. Usually, an
off-line processor is not interruptible by I/O devices in
the system. On some processors or under certain conditions,
it might not be possible to disable interrupts for an off-
line processor. Thus, the actual effect of being off-line
might vary from machine to machine.
A spare processor does not process any LWPs. A spare proces-
sor can be brought on-line, off-line or to no-intr by a
privileged user of the system or by the kernel in response
to changes in the system state.
Example 1 Setting Processors to off-line
The following example sets processors 2 and 3 off-line:
% psradm -f 2 3
Example 2 Setting Processors to no-intr
The following example sets processors 1 and 2 no-intr:
% psradm -i 1 2
Example 3 Setting Processors to spare
The following example sets processors 1 and 2 spare, even if
either of the processors was in the faulted state:
% psradm -F -s 1 2
Example 4 Setting All Processors on-line
% psradm -a -n
Example 5 Forcing Processors to off-line
The following example sets processors 1 and 2 offline, and
revokes the processor bindings from the processes bound to
them:
% psradm -F -f 1 2

How to disable role password in Solaris 11

Roles can only be assumed by logged in users. That is the definition of a role. Therefore role authentication is to some extent double authentication. The user has already authenticated as himself when he logged in and the sysadmin has enough trust in him to grant him a certain role. So why would he need to authenticate to the role? Isn't that double authentication ? Anyway I can see why that makes sense on a role like 'root' but on other more normal types of roles ? Really?
Anyway that is not what this posting is about. It is about me not being able to figure out how to disable role password in Oracle 11.
In Solaris 10 I would do:
<pre>passwd -r files -d myrole</pre>
That would set the myrole account to a no password account and that would be enough to disable it.
In Solaris 11 I cannot make this work. I suspect this is because of the introduction of the roleauth attribute but I've tried all possible combinations:
<pre>passwd -r files -d myrole</pre>
<pre>rolemod -K roleauth=user myrole</pre>
or
<pre>passwd -r files -d myrole</pre>
<pre>rolemod -K roleauth=role myrole</pre>
Can't make any of these work.
Pls help.

Hello MrMonza,
I do not completely understand what you are looking for. Perhaps it would help if you explained, for which purpose you want to use your new role.
In short, a role is simply a user account, to which you cannot login directly. As to every user account, rights are assigned to each role. And as for every user account, you have to provide a password for it.
If you want to switch to a role without password, this is nearly the same as extending the rights of your account.
This is possible by assigning additional profiles to it via /etc/user_attr. Privileged commands, written by you, and connected to these profiles, can be defined in /etc/security/exec_attr.d/local-entries. These commands can be called via pfexec, see pfexec(1), which grants privileges (e.g. uid=0) for just the call.
See also user_attr(4), prof_attr(4), exec_attr(4) and the "SEE ALSO" sections in there.
Profiles can be chosen from the predefined profiles in /etc/security/prof_attr.d, or they can be self-assembled from these profiles and authorizations from /etc/security/auth_attr.d.
New profiles should be stored in /etc/security/prof_attr.d/local-entries.

Please suggest the fastest way to install Solaris x86 PC 30 boxes

I've already tested one and it's successfully installed.
I have to install 30 boxes , all are same spec.
Please advise the fastest procedure to install.
Note : There is no sparc machine.

Only problem with imaging a Solaris x86 box is that your machines will end up with the same hostid (which is pseudo-randomly generated at Solaris installation time for x86). This may, or may not, be a problem, depending on what commercial software you use...
To avoid this, you have to use jumpstart, or do some serious hacking.

SAP on solaris x86 or sparc

Hi,
Can you please let me know the advantages of running SAP on Solaris X86 or SPARC machines. Which is recommended?
Thanks
Joyce

> If the compnay has very few end users to work on SAP i.e. less than 50 users, then x86 is suited.
> FOr large ended systems that is for large number of users to work on SAP, SPARC is better choice.
> SPARC is recommended.
I'm sorry but this is simply not true.
x86_64 is VERY suited for big systems, we run x86_64 systems with 1000+ users, on Solaris and on Linux.
Solaris on x86_64 is a very good choice, a mature OS with lots of features (zones, ZFS...) running on affordable hardware.
SPARC is a RISC architecture, there are even drawbacks in performance if you use e. g. T-series systems (UltraSparc) for ABAP systems and databases (see Oracle Metalink ID 781763.1 - "Migration from fast single threaded CPU machine to CMT UltraSPARC T1 and T2 results in increased CPU reporting and diminished performance").
So it's a matter of taste and choice - and money.

Which 10g release supports Solaris x86 version 10?

Hi,
I downloaded Oracle 10.1.0.3 for Solaris x86. When I installed it, I got error, saying I can only install this version on Solaris 9 x86. Do you have any idea which Oracle 10g version supports Solaris x86 version 10?
Thanks
L

Hi,
If we believe metalink, Oracle 10gR1 is already certified for Solaris x86
Solaris Operating System x86 Version 10
Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition Version 10g
Status: Certified
Certification Note:
Install Information:
o 1. Execute runInstaller with the -ignoreSysPrereqs option.
o 2. Select 'Do not create a starter database' when installing Oracle 10g.
o 3. During installation, the warning message 'SUNWsprox package not installed' can be ignored. Press Continue to resume the installation.
o 4. Download and install patch 4186426 from metalink.oracle.com after installing Oracle 10g software.
o 5. If you have an End User Solaris 10 distribution, install the SUNWuiu8 package prior to installing the 10g client.
Have you run installer like recommended in point 1 ?
For 10gR2, you need to wait december for certification.
Nicolas.

Auto login after new user registration

Hello,
I would like to go directly to a restricted page (add session variables for username, level, etc) after a new user is registered, without first going to the login page. Is there a way to do this? I tried adding a login user behavior to my new user registration page, but it disabled the form validation on the page. I also tried copying some of the login page code (login transactions) into the new user registration page, but that didn't work either... any help would be greatly appreciated!
Steve
BTW, I am not utilizing email activation

Well I finally figured out a work around... I am sure others will run into this problem and if someone can explain it to me I would be happy. But for now this will work.
The above code that Steve U posted works for me exactly 50% of the time. It will work every other time, why I don't know. I even changed all of my temp and session directories in php configuration, changed from php5 to php4 and still no fix.
Here is what I did to get it to work:
On your registration form underneath the insert transaction you copy and paste the login transaction (that you generate on a login page).
*Change tNG_login(this is your server connection)
*Change the POST value to match your submit button on your registration form, mine is KT_Insert1.
*Modify the redirect trigger to go to the page you want to redirect to after registration.
*Change the kt_login_user and kt_login_password addColumn values to match the username and password fields in your registration form, mine are email_usr and password_usr
*comment out the kt_login_rememberme addColumn (or if you need this, modify the code to allow for it in the registration form)
I have now successfully registered a new account and had it auto-login to the user protected area 10 times in a row now, so this should be working.
If you want some sample code here it is:
// Make a login transaction instance
$loginTransaction = new tNG_login($conn_connection);
$tNGs->addTransaction($loginTransaction);
// Register triggers
$loginTransaction->registerTrigger("STARTER", "Trigger_Default_Starter", 1, "POST", "KT_Insert1");
//$loginTransaction->registerTrigger("BEFORE", "Trigger_Default_FormValidation", 10, $formValidation);
$loginTransaction->registerTrigger("END", "Trigger_Default_Redirect", 99, "user/confirmlogin.php");
// Add columns
$loginTransaction->addColumn("kt_login_user", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "email_usr");
$loginTransaction->addColumn("kt_login_password", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "password_usr");
//$loginTransaction->addColumn("kt_login_rememberme", "CHECKBOX_1_0_TYPE", "POST", "kt_login_rememberme", "0");
// End of login transaction instance

HI I am facing problem to disable user in LDAP thru SIM

Hi,I have configured LDAP directory server in sun IDM.
after creating the user in IDM & LDAP I am trying to disable the user both in SIM as well as LDAP,in the IDM repository it is showing as the user in LDAP got disabled but actually in LDAP the user account is in active state.
I am not understanding why this problem is coming.Earlier when I tried to diable the user in LDAP thru IDM it was working fine but it is not working now.It is very urgent for me.Can anyone tell the reason.?Any advices will be helpfule.

There are two ways of disabling ANY account on ANY resource through resourc adapter.
1) use native method, if it exists.
2) change password to some value which matches password policy AND completely forget this password.
The first method is used for some adapters, Oracle for example.
The second method is used more widely, for Solaris, Redhat Linux, LDAP... and many other resource.
I believe that they made LDAPResourceAdapter using DisableUser this way so that it can be used for comunicating with non-sun directory servers as well.
So, disabling user from Identity Manager does not disable the user through setting any native flag on JES Directory Server, but by changing and forgetting password AND marking that account as "disabled" in the Identity Manager instead.
The user cannot log on anymore, so the "disable" is ok. Although you cannot see that the user is disabled using common ldaptools.

Stupid question - What platforms does Solaris x86 run on?

Hello,
I am a longtime Solaris for sparc user. Could someone please direct me to information about what platforms/processors Solaris for x86 runs on? Are there dual-bootable Windows/Solaris systems or something? What about laptops? I will start searching myself for info, but if anyone knows of a great strehouse of info on this matter, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

solaris: get it free
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp
What platforms does Solaris x86 run on? not such a stupid question if one is to inquire, does it run on intel conroe chips, yonah? are both chips recognized, does it run at 64 bit on conroe? has anyone got it going on mac? how about the 4 proc intel chips released. any one tried this and last but not least xen virtualistion with new built in amd/intel virtualization technology...

New User Registration page does not launch

I am setting up a simple process to register a new user to my APEX application. At the login screen, the user can select "new user registration" button if they would like to register for a new id. Well, it was working for awhile and it stopped working sometime after I added the validations for the new registration fields. Now, whenever I launch the login screen and click on the "new user registration" nothing happens. If I bring up the "new user registration" page in the application builder, and click "run", it launches the login screen! I do have redirects back to the login screen in the event that the user clicks "cancel" or "register" on the "new user registration" page.
This is very strange. Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause or how to track this down?
Thanks,
Reid

I'll see if I can put the app on apex.oracle.com. I disabled the redirects and all of the not null validations I had. It's still behaving the way it did.
In the meantime, I noticed this oddity. It seems like there is a mismatch between the URL page # and the actual page that is displayed. Here is what I mean. Here is the url:
http://rilian:8080/apex/f?p=103:8:7659307535557230:::::
See the page should be p=103:8. This is app 103, page 8, right?
Well, that is the correct app and page. However, it displays app 103, page 101.
When I click on the "new user registration" button, the url changes to this:
http://rilian:8080/apex/f?p=103:8:7659307535557230::NO:8::
And, I'm still on page 101, not page 8.
Like I said before, this was working like a champ earlier this week and I went to show my wife how I had it working and boom it stopped. LOL. Murphy's law...
Thanks again,
Reid
