Keeping track of users over different apps

Hi folks,
I haven't seen much on this question. How do you keep track of users across apps? If I log a user in using a 'login' app and then want to move them to another app, how do I keep track of their username (or some other identifier)?
I just read that each app uses it's own session.
Any advice is very much appreciated!

I haven't done it much myself, but you CAN do cross-context calls.
There is a method in ServletContext: getServletContext( String context)
eg
application.getServletContext("/login") would get you the servletContext of the "login" application
From that you can get a request dispatcher, and forward them to a page under that context. You could also pass information back and forth via the application layer.
To do this, you need to explicitly specify an app can make cross-context calls (part of the setup for the web context).
eg in Tomcat
<Context path="/login" docBase="login" reloadable="true" crossContext="true" >
Hope this helps some,

Thanks.

You have to assign the complete CC to the user, any particular app can not be assigned to each user.

Keep track of user logins and time

Is there any way to track users on our xserve quad xeon...such as login date and times?

Hello, tinafromrandolph, and welcome to the AppleBoards,
What services are you interested in keeping track of? AFP, for instance, logging can be set to monitor anything from login/out times to file actions.
You would need to parse the log data in some way if you were looking to make a regular report or something like that, but that's true of about any log file you want to investigate. It largely depends on what service(s) you want to monitor and how detailed their logging is, but a lot of stuff is or can be logged.
If you are more specific there may be more detailed help people can provide.

How do I get my iPod touch to keep its place on music tracks when I use different apps?

Since upgrading to IOS6 (iPod touch 4th generation) my iPod returns to the start of tracks rather than storing where I was up to if I stop listening to a track and use other apps. It's really annoying when listening to audio books that it won't keep my place. How can I get it to keep my place again like it used to with IOS5

Moving Users across different App Server versions

Hi everyone,
I need to move users and groups from a 9iAS portal to a 10gAS system which uses 10.1.2.0.2 for OID.
I was wondering if we can move users, groups into the new OID alongwith their passwords. I tried to search on forums but could not get a clear help. Has anyone done the same thing before, and would like to drop a hint or two on how to do it please?
will highly appreciate.
thanks.

Thank you very much Grant for your help. I appreciate it.
1. first method requires us to upgrade systems to 10g and then to 10.1.2.0.2. I am familiar with the first choice but have hesitation to take it.
This is a painful upgrade and we just finished upgrading, adjusting and fixing applications in our portal upgrade paths from 309 to 904, 10.1.2.0.2 and then to 10.1.4.0.0. Here for OID upgrade, we won't need the third stage but even the two takes a few days. Even backup costs 5 hours for our repository. so by the time we finish this, the list of users become old/obsolete. we need to move users for the launch phase of the upgraded portal.
2. the second method and track apparently should be fine to extract users and info. however, i haven't seen any method or procedure in the Metalink literature to keep their passwords intact. in fact, on the contrary, they suggest that the password attributes cannot be moved using ldapadd and bulkload in 10.1.2. (ref It is not possible to load orclpassword or authpassword attributes using either ldapadd or bulkload. Reference Note 401662.1 ). That leaves the choice of resetting passwords to some default pwd as one article suggests.
But our client is reluctant to email or communicate passwords to users by any method. This is the cause of this hesitation.
OID is still quite new to me and I am wondering if any other method (other than the ladapadd and bulkload) can be used to migrate users/groups without sacrificing the passwords.
thank you very much.
with kind regards,
AMN

Keeping track of user views

Is there a simple way to implement which user(s) (if any) have viewed a specific link? I am trying to enhance a report by allowing the user to determine:
a) if no one has viewed the information contained within a record of the report
b) if it has been viewed, list the users that have viewed it and the time they viewed it
c) if I have viewed the link in a prior login.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can check out the Discussion Forum application on Sourceforge or here (under Packaged Applications). It's 'similar' to this application.
You might also want to check out the reports built-in to Apex already. Log in to the 'INTERNAL' workspace as the ADMIN user, and search around. It's hard for me to see right now, so I don't want to browse around myself and try to find it, but what you want is there. A bit of looking and analyzing will get you pointed to the same sets of tables Apex already uses to track these. You also might want to look at Vikas' example, where he installed the Apex tables as a view-only app, so you can see what's being used where and how.

Keeping track of user changes

Hello All,
I have an application containing various screens. The concern is that each screen has various fields. The requirement is that if the user has edited any field and instead of clicking the save button, user clicks on another item in the menu, the system should warn the user about unsaved contents. Can someone give some inputs about how to proceed?

You will have to set a flag when ever a field change occurs. Clear the flag when the user clicks on the save button, then at the menu level check the flag - if the flag is set do your thing with warning the user.
The only other way would be to keep the origional values of all the fields when the screen(s) initially start and save them again when the user saves them. When the user clicks on the menu check the current field values against the saved values - if there is a change warn the user.
Note you will need to be careful and make sure the screen(s) are still open when when checking at the menu level.

Keeping track of user selections - button highlights

Hello, I would like to be able to make an audio setup menu (3 tracks) and when a user returns to the menu, the button for that track will already be selected.
With other authoring programs I would use a GPRM script, but Encore doesn't have scripting/GPRM tracking as far as I know. Is there another way to do this?
Example:
English 5.1
Spanish 2.0
French 2.0
User selects French 2.0, watches a few clips and wants Enlish instead. When he returns to the menu, he sees this:
English 5.1
Spanish 2.0
French 2.0
Thanks!

I have not used it, but see "Indicate the active audio or subtitle track" here:

Tracking VPN user connectivity

Is there an easy way on the ASA to track user connectivity statistics? I have found that I can get a syslog record when a user connects / disconnects but am looking for an elegant way to track a bit more. On the old Concentrator there used to be a log entry when a user disconnected that gave things like time connected and the amount of data transferred. I would like to figure out a way to duplicate this on the ASA and maybe even add the IP addressed they received from the DHCP pool? I though this might be part of accounting but that appears to be more for radius integration than keeping track of user usage.
Thoughts or suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Cisco Security Manager product collects and stores such information (along with a lot of other things). It's a pretty hefty product though and probably more than you want to spend for doing just that one thing.
You can use a general purpose SNMP management tool like PRTG to grab all the data as well. I know it has out of the box sensors for Cisco ASA VPN connections and users. I'm not sure if it also collects the amount of data transferred.

I have been using find my iPhone on my iPhone 4s for the past year. I will look at it occasionally to keep track of my 12 year old. All of a sudden I have to log in every time I click on the app. I have always remained logged in in the past.. I upgraded to IOS 8 today thinking that might fix it. It has not.

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

Keep track of the shopping cart for anonymous user

Hi,
I have the following problem on b2c site. Anonymous user can browse through the site and adds items to the shopping cart. At the checkout the login page is prompted, however login page is located on the different application server where the actual login happening. After that control is returned to my server where I need to create login object and associate the shopping cart with it. My problem is how to maintain shopping cart without losing it.
I came with that solution : On checkout attach shopping cart to context object with unique key, then pass this unique key to the remote server, then remote server passes it back to me together with the login id, then I create new session and attach shopping cart to it after retrieving shopping cart from the context.
I hope it will work, however I think there is a standard solution for this type of the problems. Any ideas, hints, suggestions are strongly appreciated.
We use WebLogic 9.0 and Servlets.

Do you have a problem keeping track of the shopping cart for a user who is logged in? No, I didn't think so. So give the anonymous user an internal name, just for your own convenience. Then keep track of the shopping cart for the user with that name. You already know how to do that.

How keep track of caller from web page or app in your EJB

I want to make a Security Handler for my EJB Server. I want apps / users to be able to log in. However, after they log in (for example from a web page), how do I keep track of who they are when they then make subsequent calls to EJBs?
Where can I find out who they are?
How do I standardize this for apps and web page callers?
I know that for web servers to keep track of who the caller is for them, they need to store a handle on the client. Do I need to do this too?
If I do keep smth on the client side that they send back/forth to me, does that not fit with the EJB standards?

still unable to find answer. Hey, can I also ask: do I ask too obscure questions? I don't get most of them answered. Are they boring?
