Limit to number of users can access share at same time.

I have a mac that I want to put a windows accesible share on. I need to know how many people can have access to the files on that share at one time. I am running OSx Tiger on a new Imac 20". On a windows machine it is determined by the number of cals.
imac20" Mac OS X (10.4)
imac20" Mac OS X (10.4)

Actually, that document referes to "Personal File Sharing" - 10 is the limit imposed by Apple for AFP, which is Apple's proprietary protocol.
"Windows Sharing" or SMB is open source, and I don't think there is a limit imposed by the license.
The "tested and theoretical maximums (limits)", for SMB on 10.3 Server puts the limit at 1000 connected users (tested and theoretical - with the caveat that the numbers will be limited based on available resources). Between them, the users would be limited by the "number of open files" (theoretically up to 12288, but tested to 1000). But I don't know for sure what if any differences exist between the SMB versions installed by default in OS X Client vs. Server or if anything has changed with the version installed in 10.4.

How to limit the max dialog no that one user can use at the same time?

Hi,
I meet one performance problem that one user can open 6 sessions in the GUI and he/she can run 6 reports at the same time witch could occupy 6 dialogs in the sap R/3 instance. It makes poor performance for other users.
Would you pls tell me how to limit the no. of sessions one user can create at the same time or how to limit the no. of dialogs one user can occupy at the same time?
Thanks a lot!
I used this parameters in the default profile as blew:
rdisp/rfc_check 1
rdisp/rfc_use_quotas 1
rdisp/rfc_max_own_used_wp 20 (means: 20%)
It still didn't work.

Hello,
We can reserve DIA W.P by giving value to the parameter :- rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp=1(default)
that have to necessarily remain free for other users.
This parameter is used to reserve a number of dialog work processes for Dailog mode.
For eg. If 10 dialog w.p. are configured for the instance(rdsip/wp_no_dia=10) and the parameter rdisp/rfc_min_wait_dia_wp=3 is set,parallel RFC's can occupy a maximum of 7 DIA W.P.3 DAI W.P. always remain free for dialog mode.
But now the question is how we assign/restrict this free dialog w.p. to the specific user.

Windows Users can access shares but Macs Can't

Running 10.8 on the server and here is the below problem I am having
1. Windows users can access the file shares read/write (even though they create permissions wrong, another day to takle that since I already tried ACL)
2. Macs running 10.8 and Mavericks
     Open the server in finder on a user machine. Can sometimes see the two share folders. Other times just get the spinning wheel.
     Now if you are so brave to click on the folder then finder will spin forever.
     It locks finder up so hard that you can't shut down the machine without holding the power button. Other programs will run just fine, it only affects finder.
I tried connecting from the mac with smb:// to see if it is an AFP issue but it just sits on connecting forever.
I looked through the logs and don't see anything. But my knowledge of logs is terrible.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Thom

Newbie question... Can I limit the number of users ...

Can I limit the number of users accessing a URL?
My company wants to start making videos available on our intranet web site. Once published, they are planning to send an email to all our employees (5000+) to announce the video. That's a great idea... but who asked the network guy if the network (server too) can take the load? NOBODY.
Short term solution... can I limit the number of concurrent users hitting a URL? And if possible, can I push a message to the users that try once the limit is reached?
Limiting the bandwidth is an option, but I will trash the user experience.
Long term solutions besides bandwidth increase? Cashing servers, WAN accelerators...?
Help !!!

This is really not a problem for the WSA to solve. Typically the WSA is used to control content and provide security for external internet content. The product does not have the feature you describe.
However, when it comes to the internal hosting of content - since you are using an internal server, that server should be able to control the amount of traffic it servers, number of connections, etc.

How do you configure the iMac so separate users can access each other's files, especially iPhoto and iTunes? I need to be able to transfer media between two users and not just gain limited access using 'share'.

How can I rise limit of number of users on an server in logon group (SMLG).

Hello
How can I rise limit of number of users on an server in logon group (SMLG).

In that case, you have not done your Sizing correctly. If users are more on all the Servers, then your performance is hampering, which is leading to delay in Response time.
So the first course of action is to proper gathering of logging of users & as per that, you need to increase app server.
Also check out how the Operation modes has been divided...if Dialog users are more & BGD users are less in Morning time (IST) for example you can have Switching of Dialog users by which your processes are occupied more for Dialog users, therefore more no of users can log in & vice-versa.

Is there anyway to limit the number of users?

Very straightforward, is there anyway to limit the number of users of the Airport Express for only a certain amount of time during the day?
There are certain periods during the day that I don't want my cousin to use the wifi, but the only way I can think of is to change the password and only type in the password for him when he needs it, however this is very troublesome? Is there a more sufficient way to do this?
Thank you.

You have the ability using Timed Access to establish daily time limits (or no time limits) for each computer that will be connecting to the AirPort Express.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Access Control tab located under the row of icons
For MAC Access Control select Timed Access
For complete instructions, click the Help menu at the top of the screen and then click AirPort Utility Help. Enter the following phrase into the search box:

How to Limit the Number of Users Logged into HTML DB

I'm using LDAP based SSO and I'd like to limit the number of users who can log into the application at a given time. If my users are assigned to groups, can I also limit the number of users who belong to a certain group who can be logged in at one time? Can anyone think of any HTML DB APIs that might be useful in doing this?

Well if you apply a "time-out" on the session and if the there is a HTML DB table in the FLOWS account that can be queried to see the number of sessions, then you could restrict HTML DB sessions to a certain number. But if you have multiple HTML DB applications, how are you going to know which HTML DB session goes which application?
It is very ugly. I realistically cannot see a way. Maybe the Oracle folks have a way of limiting the sessions internally within HTML DB
Just out of curiosity, why do you want to limit the number of users? Maybe if you explain that then that might help in coming up with a solution.

"User can access account" option corresponding record attribute

I am a developer and need to know what the flag/attribute is on a users Open Directory record. The admin here uses the following to deactivate users:
Deselect the “User can access account” option in the Basic pane in Workgroup
But I cant see to find anything in the record looking at them through Apache Studio that shows who is active and who is deactive. I have admin access too.

That info is not in LDAP, but in Apples PasswordServer. You can "telnet your-server-ip apple-sasl" and then "getidbyname yourusername". The resulting hex number is the slot id which you can get the policy by issuing "getpolicy 0x2334...94". You are looking for the "isDisabled" attribute.

How can i save music and pictures so all users can access them?

how can i save music and pictures so all users can access them?

Hi, this should be your answer as for sharing music. For photos though, I would assume you can do the same thing. Hope it helps!

How can I export an entire album to my desktop so any user can access my photos?

Is there an easy way to export photos from my iPhoto library so that other users can access them without needing a Mac or iPhoto?

But if it's a big album, be sure to create a new folder on the desktop first, to export them into. Having hundreds of individual photos on your desktop will slow your computer to a crawl.

Can I create pages that only authorized users can access?

I need to create pages that only authorized users can access, is that possible to be done with Muse?

Hi Natalia,
If you are using Business Catalyst as a host , then "Yes" you need to publish a website to use Secure zone of Business Catalyst.
If you are using a different host or BC then you may use third party widgets like

Can i setup an icloud acount which 3 different users can access?

can i setup an icloud acount which 3 different users can access?

Anyone can access any iCloud account if they know the login and the password. Assuming that you and the others concerned already have iCloud accounts with separate logins you could create a new Apple ID, use it to create a new iCloud account and then everyone would log into it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars so that its contents would appear alongside the individual 'Primary' accounts. If they don't have their own iCloud accounts they can sign in in System Preferences>iCloud, of course.
You can enable the particular types of data syncing you want to carry out, but be aware that iCloud isn't designed for multi-person use, and basically everyone has full access to the account as if it was their own.

I now have 4 itouchs, 1 ipad mini, and three iphones for my own family members. What's the bet way for me to setup itunes so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows, etc?

I now have 4 itouches, 1 ipad mini and 3 iphones in use by my direct family. What's the best way for me to set things up so that we can all share the same music, apps, movies, shows etc?
I would prefer to have one account to input dollars which allows all the users (my direct family) to share and buy things.
Can we all have different user ID's however share the same account?

I'll try to help a bit.
ITunes match space is different to icloud space. With iTunes match you get storage for 25,000 non iTunes purchased tracks and other than a limit for individual file size, there is no memory limit.
You can turn match on individuallyon each device (I have it turned off on my iPod but turned on on my iPad and iPhone). When you turn it on then you get access to all the tracks, and in my experience any playlists I create have transferred over very well. I understand that some people have had trouble with playlists though.
I'm not quite clear with exactly what you mean regarding cleaning up your library, but be careful about using Match for this. There is no guarantee that matched songs will be exactly the same version as your own copy, due to some mismatches, so you could find some problems there. Personall, I am cleaning up my library before matching, but I am rather particular about keeping my library the way I want it. If you aren't as fussed then match could be the answer.
Hope that helped.
