Keychain: How to enable automatic access for certain applications?

I have gotten really tired of Adium and Skype asking for the keychain password every time I reboot the machine, and Quicksilver neeing my system password all the time when installing updates.
How do I enable automatic access to the keychain and system password for certain applications, but not all?
PowerBook G4, 1.5 Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

Hi, Bjørn.
A. You wrote: "I have gotten really tired of Adium and Skype asking for the keychain password every time I reboot the machine..."There are two things to check. You'll use Keychain Access — in the Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder — for both.
One key point to note before you begin: If the affected account was created under Jaguar, it's default keychain will have the same name as the account's short name. Accounts created under Panther or later have the default keychain name of "login." The user's default keychain is always highlighted in bold in the Keychains list in Keychain Access. All of the instructions in Mac Help regarding keychain assume the accounts were created under Tiger and always refer to keychain "login."
Here are the two issues to check and correct:
1. The affected account may have its keychain preferences set so that the keychain locks automatically after a period of inactivity or after sleep mode:1.1. Select the user's default keychain.
1.2. Click Edit > Change Settings for Keychain "keychain_name."
1.3. Deselect the checkbox next to "Lock after __ minutes of inactivity", if selected.
1.4. Deselect the checkbox next to "Lock when sleeping", if selected.
1.5. Click Save.2. The affected account's login password and keychain password are different. Set the keychain password on that account to be the same as the account's login password. See “Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing your keychain password.”
Once those steps are taken, if an application requests access to the keychain, click Always Allow.
Note that if you update applications, i.e. install later versions, you may be asked once to confirm the new version's access to your keychain. That's a standard security precaution.
B. You wrote: "...Quicksilver neeing my system password all the time when installing updates."That cannot be prevented if that application is installed in the Macintosh HD > Applications folder using an installer, such as the Mac OS X Installer. Authentication is required if an installer will add or change files in either Applications or other System-related folders.
Good luck!

  • How to configure simultanous access for 11i application

    Hi All
    We have one existing 11i application instance on node grid1.In which we start the servicess from apps user.
    In our same we want another node for the same application in which we will start the servicess from another user(merge)
    For that we perfrom the following steps
    1.Copy the APPL_TOP,COMMON_TOP,ORA_TOP(8.0.6,iAS) from node "GRID1" to diffrent node "GRID2"
    2 configure the GRID2 node using adcfgclone.pl utility(we have configure new node for WEB and FORM Server)
    3 We perfrom the modification in the following files ON GRID2 .
    i Identify 'FNDNAM=apps' statement in $FND_TOP/secure/<context>.dbc
    and replace with 'FNDNAME=merge' to connect to MERGE schema instaed of APPS.
    ii. Go to the last line of $APACHE_TOP/jserv/etc/zone.properties file
    and identify 'schema=APPS' statement and change it to 'schema=MERGE'
    iii. Identify below lines in $APACHE_TOP/modplsql/cfg/wdbsvr.app file
    password = apps
         username = apps
         document_table = APPS.fnd_lobs_document
    and replace with modified below lines
    password = merge
         username = merge
         document_table = MERGE.fnd_lobs_document
    6. For redirecting user's request to new Application Server server, we
    changed the following 4 system profile options with proper URL and port
    at responsibility level only for the responsibilities,
    which we use for Merge views.
    Profile Options
         Application Framework Agent
         Applications JSP Agent
         Applications Web Agent
         Apps Servlet Agent
    When we are able to start the services on GRID2 node,but at the time of login we are getting invalid user name/ passwd error
    Please let us know is there any way to access application other than apps user

    well thank you very much .I know how to define a DataSource inside Weblogic Server.
    But i am confused over one issue
    When We are going to use Container Managed EntityManager inside the SessionBean the persistence.xml file looks like this
    *<persistence>*
    *     <persistence-unit name="RamsEJBPU" transaction-type="JTA">*
    *          <jta-data-source>myJtaDataSource</jta-data-source>*
    *     </persistence-unit>*
    *</persistence>*
    But in some cases it looks like as shown below :     <persistence-unit name="RamsEJBPU" transaction-type="resource-local">
         <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
                        <properties>
                   <property name = "hibernate.connection.driver_class" value = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"/>
                   <property name = "hibernate.connection.url" value = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl"/>
                   <property name = "hibernate.connection.username" value = "CHENNAISPAT"/>
                   <property name = "hibernate.connection.password" value = "CHENNAISPAT"/>
                </properties>
         </persistence-unit>
    </persistence>Can you please tell me why is it so ??

  • How to enable remote debugging for a session other than the current one

    Hi all,
    I am trying to figure out how to enable remote debugging for a session other than the one I am currently using.
    More specifically, we have an application that is making database calls to Oracle 11gR2. Something is causing an exception during this invocation. My system is currently not set up to recompile said application, so I can't just add the debug call to the code and recompile. Therefore I would like to be able to log into the database (as sys, if necessary) and invoke dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp on the desired session.
    The docs indicate that I should be able to do so:
    dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp(
    host IN VARCHAR2,
    port IN VARCHAR2,
    session_id IN PLS_INTEGER := NULL,
    session_serial IN PLS_INTEGER := NULL,
    debug_role IN VARCHAR2 := NULL,
    debug_role_pwd IN VARCHAR2 := NULL,
    option_flags IN PLS_INTEGER := 0,
    extensions_cmd_set IN PLS_INTEGER := 128);
    But when I try (even as sys), I get the following:
    exec dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp('1.2.3.4',5678,<session id>,<session serial>);ORA-00022: invalid session ID; access denied
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP", line 68
    ORA-06512: at line 1
    00022. 00000 - "invalid session ID; access denied"
    *Cause:    Either the session specified does not exist or the caller
    does not have the privilege to access it.
    *Action:   Specify a valid session ID that you have privilege to access,
    that is either you own it or you have the CHANGE_USER privilege.
    I've tried granting the 'BECOME USER' privilege for the relevant users, but that didn't help. I read something about having to set some kind of ACL as of 11gR1, but the reference documentation was very confusing.
    Would someone be able to point me in the right direction? Is this even possible, or did I misread the documentation?

    Interesting deduction, that would be very useful indeed. I hate recompiling just to add the debug call, and it can't be done in our production environment. But it seems unlikely to me it would be implemented this way.
    I would cross-post this in the SQL AND PL/SQL forum though, as this is really a database issue, not with the SQL Developer tool. Do add the links to the other posts in each.

    K.

    In which application?  (There is no system wide punctuation.)

  • How do I limit access to certain (but not all) applications on my laptop?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to reduce access to certain applications (eg Email) while allowing other applications to remain "open" to all users?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated,
    thank you,

    you would need , in following Matt's advice to ensure that the restricted users were not created as admin users. That is, on creation do not click the 'allow this user to administer computer' box. If you tried parental controls on them, you would be told by the OS that you can't restrict an admin.
    The better advice would be to restrict the actual use of the single user you have now, who is presumably an admin, to just admin (installations, re configs, set up new users etc) tasks. Change his password so those real people you don't trust (?) couldn't get to him. You could have a 'restricted' user who is not restricted in respect of apps (email, browser etc) but can't admin. Use him yourself for browsing etc and general use. Add another restricted user for(the kids, irresponsible friends and such) who are not admins and can only use certain apps. I am aware that is not precisely what you asked.
