Launchd system agent before login for an onscreen keyboard.

Hi everyone. I'm investigating the possibility of starting an onscreen keyboard for people to use to log into their user accounts with. I work for a company that deals with people with disabilities, and their computer problems.
So far I've used Lingon to create a system level launchd agent for the keyboard program we're using which is 'Assistiveware Keystrokes'. Any onscreen keyboard would be fine, but this is the only one I could successfully start with launchd so far, but it's starting after login rather than beforehand as I'd like.
I couldn't figure out how to lauch the default Mac KeyboardViewer, as I couldn't find a way to launch it from a script.
Anybody know what I should do?
,Damon

Thanks for your help guys. Also I find it rather interesting that OSX doesn't have a way to bring up an onscreen keyboard (at least without a lot of knowlege and effort). As it would prevent Mac users who wanted to use touch screen comptuers from being able to log in.
Are there no Mac touch screen computers I wonder? I think this will be my next obvious area to investigate, as although twtwtw pointed out that it's probably possible to run GUI apps in the login screen, it seems as though it's a depricated function that will be phased out:
"Warning: Apple plans to disable the global window server service in a future release of Mac OS X. Do not write any new code that uses the global window server service. If you have existing code that uses this service, you must eliminate that dependency in order to be compatible in the long term."

USEREXIT / BADI to get WBS elem system status before&after for WBS in CJ20N

Hi friends,
Please help me out to capture the WBS element system status after and before the changes in CJ20N tcode, the status has to be posted to the P I system.
Please let me know if any user exit exists for CJ20N.I am not able to find any in CMOD.
I have tried using the BADI's WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE and
PROJECTDEF_UPDATE .
but was not able to capture the changed system status .
Is there any other way to capture the system status and post them to PI.
Thanks and Regards,
KC

Hi Afzal,
The User wants to get it posted to the PI system as soon as the system status of WBS element is changed.
I am already done with RFC FM for this purpose which gets the changed status of all PROJECTS-WBS elements.
Our team is facing some probs with connecting to PI through RFC.
Getting 'SYSTEM_FAILURE' error, when executing the RFC with PI system's destination.Not able to trace out the probs, they have tested the connection with IDOC which was a success and able to post the PI.
They want me to capture the data in USEREXIT/BADI and some how trigger the IDOC with back ground job scheduled.
Thanks and Regards,

Which version Diagnotics Agent to install for ERP6 systems using SM 7.1 ?

Hi,
I have a recently installed Solution Manager 7.1 system and would now like to add our managed systems for monitoring.
Our managed systems are all running NW EHP2 / ERP6 EHP5 and I have installed the latest SAPHostagent 7.2 on each of these systems. These systems are non unicode running on Suse Linux Enterprise 10.
I'm confused as to which version Diagnostic Agent to install for this setup. Under Solution Manager 7.1 in SWDC the managing agents are for a 7.3 installation only and the prerequisites require Suse Linux Enterprise 11. I'm not sure whether I can use agents located under older Solution Manager systems.
With the above information in mind can you help ?
Thanks.

Nelis

NAC Agent only prompts for username and login on wireless

Another question for the smart people of the world.
I have had a couple laptops where the cisco NAC agent will prompt for a password and verify the computer via the wirless network but when I try to do that on the wired network, it sends me to the download page for the NAC agent. It doesnt seem to register that the NAC agent is installed and working even though it is.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hi Jonathan,
The NAC agent communicates with the CAS usiing the SWISS protocol. This protocol uses port 8095 for L2 adjacent devices to the CAS and 8096 protocol for L3 adjacent devices to the CAS. Have you checked if these ports are allowed through to the CAS for the wired clients? Do check the support logs on the CAM and CAS suggest something. If you can post the agent logs from the wired clients I could analize and let you know where the process is failing.
Do let me know if this helps.

Som

ISE 1.2 and Posture Report Before Login

Hi everyone,
Is it possible for the ISE 1.2 NAC/Posture agent to submit a posture report before user login on a Windows desktop system?
We're trialling ISE 1.2, performing machine based authentication using EAP-TLS/Certificates. On top of this we are also using the posture agent and do not grant access until a 'compliant' posture report is received.
Currently when a desktop powers up the posture status is 'pending' and this does not change until the user logs in, the NAC agent submits a successful posture report. This can take quite a few minutes leaving the user in a state of limbo where they have logged in to the computer but they must wait for the posture report.
I see the NacAgent service runs as system, but the NACAgentUI.exe does not and only starts with the user logs in.
Thanks,
Mark

That is correct, the nac agent is unaware of what policies exist in your ISE design. It's sole purpose is to start when the services allow it to do so and then send the information about the services and AV information it can gather so ISE can make a decision on whether the client is compliant or not compliant, it can then take direction on how to remeidate the client when it fails. There is nothing you can configure from ISE that will allow you to run the nac agent before user login.
In the end when the nac agent makes into the anyconnect secure mobility client you might have hope there since there are some start before login vpn features, but I do not see the nac agent adopting this any time soon. You should however still work with your Cisco Account team on doing some research with the BU on your behalf, this could benefit alot of nac customers.

Agents cannot login in UCCX 8.5

Hi All,
I have UCCX 8.5, once the Agents want to login they get the following error:
"Login failed due to a configuration error. Please ask you system administrator to associate your phone with the RM JTAPI Provider user ID according to the instructions in the admininstrator guide".
I already added the MAC address of the Phone to RM Application User, but no luck?
aany idea?

The issue is fixed by restarting Primary/Secondary UCCX servers( which are on the UCS).
However, it still takes long for the Agent to login.

SQL database login for 'SharePoint_Config_2010' on instance 'DB server' failed. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below.

we formatted Database server and restored all the databases from the backup. but the sharepoint site is giving below error when i access the home page.
we have 3 application servers in that two are working fine, but only one server getting the below error.
SQL database login for 'SharePoint_Config_2010' on instance 'db server' failed. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below.
Login failed for user 'domain\user'.
could you help what is the issue?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to access sharepoint site with one application server.
It was due to the MOM/SCOM Agent that has a SharePoint management pack installed, the agents Windows Service runs as ‘Local System’ and thus causes this.
The workaround is to either kill the SCOM agent service, or set it to run as a dedicated service account.
In addtion, I recommend to add the logon account of the SharePoint Timer service as a user of the SharePoint_Config database. Give role membership to the account db_owner.
You also need to add the SharePoint accounts back into sql server.
There are some similar articles for you to take a look at:

Change TrackPad(Click= Tab) before login

Hi all,
Is it possible to change trackpad behaviour before login into my account?
Currently the trackpad is set to "Click" but I want it set to "Tap" before logon.
Once I'm logged on it is working ok so it's basically only setup for my user account via (System Preferences>Trackpad>Point&Click)
I've searched this discussion forum but only found not properly working trackpads, I have no issues with my trackpad.
OS X Version 10.9.4
MacBook Pro Retina, 13-inch, late 2013

“Tap to Click is a user specific preference, just like your Desktop picture or Screensaver. If you log out of your account, you won't be able to tap to click at the logout screen. In addition, when you start up to the Install DVD or Apple Hardware Test, the Tap to Click feature won't be available.”

Wireless keyboard delay before active for Intel Mac Mini

I posted this many moons ago when I got my Intel Mac Mini. The issue was never resolved even though several users found it to be a problem. I am reposting the issue to see if there is any progress. I took my Intel Mini in to the Genius Bar at an Apple store. He thought it was a software issue related to the dual processor and thought it would be corrected by an update. This apparently has not happened yet.
When I start up my Mac Mini, the wireless keyboard is not active immediately. When the login screen appears, there is a delay of maybe 20 -30 seconds before a keystroke will show up even though the cursor is blinking on the screen. If I hit a key more than once during the end of this delay period, all the keystrokes eventually show up.
Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I just bought new Mac mini w/ wireless keyboard and track pad. During initial setup it would not pair to keyboard but it di see trackpad. I could not complete setup, I have no control. Brought home USB keyboard from work and resumed setup. I'm stuck again. In setup it's asking for a trackpad click to continue. The trackpad will scroll, but will not click. The whole system is two days old and nothing works I tried to contact support through the lengthy online screening process and apple ultimately say the new system doesn't qualify for free support.
Totally ******. I'm back to using my old pc.. What to do with this expensive boat anchor from apple?
Really could use some help here
Thanks

SMD Agent Configuration Wizard for CI and DB host

Hi, I have to config the CI host in /smd > managed systems > setup wizard. But what is with my agends from other hosts then CI like DB host? Do I have to do somthing else with the Agents from this hosts? At the moment this agens have the status <no server name> in smd/go/ADMIN_AGENT

Hello,
After you connect the agents to the Solution Manager they will appear as No Server Name in Agent Administration.
Run the setup wizard for the managed system, select the agent before processing further. This will assign the agent to a server name.

User Exit BEFORE Login

Hi experts,
I have a problem:
We use differerent solutions for Web Access for externals - Web Dynpro and a normal GUI, shown via WEBGUI.
So we create a new user (SU01) for the external and he can access the system
But this problem may appear:
The external tries to login via OPERATOR, DDIC, SAP*,... and lock this user - system will hang up!
Solution can be a user exit BEFORE login, so we can check the user name (OPERATOR...) and don't authorize for login.
Is there a user exit? I know the exit EXIT_SAPLSUSF_001 - bt this one is too late (after login).
Also it would be important to know if the login is via SAPGUI oder via WEBGUI/Webdynpro (in EXIT_SAPLSUSF_001)
Any ideas on this?

Hi,
why don't you unlock the User?
Try this:
data: wa_return type table of BAPIRET2.
If sy-uname = 'OPERATOR'
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_USER_UNLOCK'
EXPORTING
    USERNAME       = sy-uname
TABLES
    RETURN         = WA_return.
     CALL 'SYST_LOGOFF'
endif.
Hmmm...I will try this. But I'm not sure if I will reach this point if I try to login with the wrong password?!
Edit: I tried to logon with a wrong password (before i created a hardcoded Breakpoint in the user exit). But I won't reach this point.
So the question is not solved. If someone tries to logon as Operator several times, user Operater will be locked. How to prevent to log on via specific users (like Operator, DDIC...) in the Webgui?

Problem in POST data preserve in Policy Agent 2.2 for SJSWS 6.1

Hi
I am using Policy Agent 2.2 for SJSWS 6.1
I have a requirement to preserve the POST data when during the following situation.
Consider a situation where in the user has logged in to our webapp and the user remains in a page which has a form with Post method .
Mean while the session (of AM) times out and now the user enters the data in the data and submits the form.
The user will be redirected to the login page and then the requested service should be performed, which is not happening in this case(POST). Suppose in if the form used a GET method this works fine.
I have tried by configuring the following property in AMAgent.properties file.
com.sun.am.policy.agents.config.postdata.preserve.enable = true
But it doesn't work. When I tried to troubleshoot, I learned from the following resource that, POST data preservation is only supported on Policy Agent 2.2 for Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Is it not supported on 6.1?
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-1130/gaueu
I get the following error in the log file of SJSWS.
trying to POST /dummypost/sunpostpreserve2007-09-2804:48:53.379, send-file reports: HTTP4142: can't find /opt/SUNWwbsvr/docs/dummypost/sunpostpreserve2007-09-2804:48:53.379 (File not found)

Untrusted apps are not allowed to connect to or launch Window Server before login.

I'm getting this with the Citrix Receiver uninstaller from the command line... but not on all Mountain Lion 10.8.5 systems. Googling turns up a lot of ideas about a problem with the app or in pre/post-flight scripts, but since it works on some, I wonder. What is the mechanism that generates this error? I'm guessing there's some setting or condition that exists on one system that isn't true on the other. How do I find out?

=======================================
I find some interesting posting in this forum. Thanks for keeping this forum to help windows/Lenovo community. I like to pick up the brain of this forum to resolve the black screen issue. I am not sure, whether it caused by virus. I use Microsoft Security Essentials. I am not able to run this in command prompt.
I started my laptop this morning & login screen showed up. Once I entered my login credentials, I heard the sound that usually plays once a login is successful, but I ended up with a black screen. After this occurred, I had to hold down the power button to manually shut down the computer. Once I started it up again, I was prompted to do a system repair, which eventually ended up with all successful outcomes, but I now have a black screen with a cursor before the login screen now. I have no idea what caused this to happen. My laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad Model Z580 (500 GB HD, 6GB RAM).
I am not able to get into safe mode or any other mode, which all leads to a black screen described above. I am able to use the "Repair Your computer" tools after pressing F8 during booting only . All other options leads to Black screen with cursor in the middle
Last Known Good Configuration leads to same
Enable Low Resolution Video (640x480) leads to same My Z580 is not responding to CTRL+ALT+DEL Windows Logo keys as well.
**** I tried SAFE Mode. It loaded couple of drivers and paused at CLASSPNP.SYS load. It went to Black screen with cursor at center.
I am able to invoke control pannel from Command prompt of working PC by typing control.
Z580 PC is not responding to control from command prompt (under Repair Your computer) either.
Z580 is able to use the "Repair Your computer" tools after pressing F8 during booting .

Under Admin user login, it provided system recovery options. It is not picking up the recovery point created a while ago.
Windows Memory Diagnostics is not launching and shows a black screen without cursor.
I am able to get into command prompt. I tried the following there.
I am not able to run cmd as admin
I reviewed the past posting of this forum on this subject.

I did findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt I will be glad to attach the zip file that contain CBS.LOG & [SR] tag extract (xxx.txt).
I did not any find ERRORS there, SFC ended with message saying "found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them" . It is misleading. There is no [SR] tag pointing to corrupt files. Does SFC through false positive like this?

How to create sso login for webcenter application

Hi,
i have created a webcenter portal application with a login page.i have to create a sso login for that application .
can anyone suggest me how to do?

Hi.
Do you have OAM as SSO?.
The best way is to create a loginProxy page which proxies the user and password entered to OAM Login process (or the other SSO system).
