Login Dithers afer pressing return

I am sort of new at this so any help would be appreciated. I also realize that there could be a few sources of this problem but I have to start somewhere.
1. Server OSX 10.4.7
2. Clients Intel Education imacs and PPC eMacs all running 10.4.7
3.Open directory server? Not bound? (I think)
Friday we logged on all day (we have 800 users) and most of the time is worked fine, pretty responsive. A few times the student would type in user name and password, press return and then the window would dither like it was going and just hang. A restart usually would fix this.
Any ideas?

Check the logs of the problem machine after a restart. We have the same issue on a few machines from time-to-time.
For us, it is an automount problem that I haven't been able to resolve completely. In fact, we absolutely can't run 10.3.9 on our network.... 10.3.8 works, and 10.4.x works, but 10.3.9 produces the same problems that you are experiencing.
But after one of the problems arises, look at the system.log (log in as admin to read it). If you have the following lines:
Sep 12 08:35:20 Computername kernel[0]: nfs server automount -fstab [169]: not responding
Sep 12 08:35:51 Computername kernel[0]: nfs server automount -fstab [169]: not responding
then you are experiencing the same issue we have.
One thing you can do is to ssh to a machine when it is hanging. Run "top" to see the active processes and you can kill ( sudo kill PROCESS_NUMBER) one process at a time to see what makes a difference. For me, I killed one of the automount processes and everything seemed to work (at least a couple of times). If you kill the loginwindow process, it should get you back to the original login window (if that makes any sense). Then you can log in as an administrator and check the logs.
Hope this helps.

Pressing Return in CoverFlow, Edits name instead of Opening, Help!

Hey all
Weird problem, on my Macbook, when im browsing folders using the coverflow view, if i press enter then it opens the selected file,
But on my Power PC G5, pressing return only edits the selected file's name
How can I change this?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You are facing a peculiar problem because you are doing something peculiar.
Let me explain the way the login process works:
If I want to go to the teamcollab client for instance I would be redirected to the login screen - i.e. the jsp screen, as the url for teamcollab is protected against access without a valid user credential, once I have correctly logged in I am then redirected again to my original URL. Going directly to "https://login.oracle.com/mysso/signon.jsp" has no meaning to the system as it is expecting additional parameters to tell it where to send you after successfully logging you in to the system. Thus the error is now obvious:
"Error! Do not use bookmarked URL.
Please type the URL you are trying to reach directly into your browser."
Means try and access some URL like https://beehiveonlione.oracle.com/teamcollab, i.e. where you want to go instead of "https://login.oracle.com/mysso/signon.jsp" which is meaningless to the system.

You can take some of the steps here, #4, #5 or even trying a #18

but I suspect your going to first have to create a data recovery drive
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
to get your data off the machine,
then do a #20 to eliminate the bad sectors as that's why your getting the "pinwheel" it's getting a delay reading from the drive, right when your trying to log in too, what a bad spot for it to happen.

After I type in my login details and press "enter" on a website, Firefox freezes for around half minute.

After I type in my login details and press "enter" on a website, Firefox freezes for around half minute. This has gone on for around 5 months. I've tried disabling add-ons to my Firefox but they don't seem to affect this problem. My version is 17.0.1.
How do I combat this problem? Many thanks in advance.

Provide the website name.
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Supressing the effect of causing a submit when pressing Return

We have hit a problem with a JSP application that we have written. It
consists of a number of JSP pages.
The pages render data from Java Beans which in turn are populated by various database (ORACLE) querys. Once the data is rendered the user
can update the data in the fields.
The problem we are having is that when the data is held in a text field
and the user changes its value and then presses 'Return' (as opposed to 'TAB') the form is submitted and the database record is written
back to the database.
What we would look to do is to supress that action from happening, i.e
when the user presses 'Return' it does NOT submit, but rather navigates
to the next field. We would only want the submit to happen when
the user presses the 'SAVE' button.
Is there a way to override this default behaviour of HTML ?
Thanks
Chris

JSP and various other languages can easily state what's supposed to be on the page, but they can't tell the browser what to do in certain circumstances. You'll have to use a browser-programming language (well, client side programming) and the only "common" language out there right now is JavaScript.

Pressing RETURN causes error

I get an error whenever I press <RETURN> key - "No branch provided".
If I press SUMBIT, then there is no problem.
ak.

I am guessing you have only one item on the page. If you have only 1 item and you press the <RETURN> key the page automatically submits the page with a blank request. So to fix your problem
1. If the branch is to the same page when you press Submit then remove the condition from the branch.
2. else create a new branch with no condition to branch back to the same page. Note this branch should have a higher sequence number then the previous branch

Automatically press "return" key every 5 minutes

I have a bit of a problem, a random app of mine keeps getting stalled during a task and needs to just press enter to get past the prompt to continue it's task. It's a long task and it's unpredictable when the prompt will show up. Is there anyway I can make my mac just press "Return" every 5 minutes so I can leave and get stuff done instead of sitting in front of my comp for 10 hours? I tried fooling around in automater but I'm not to familiar with it so I didn't have any luck.

It's Cyberduck, it's an FTP transfer that gets an error every 30minutes-1hour saying there's a connection problem but when you click 'Try Again' or just press 'return' the prompt goes away and the transfer continues. There is no preference to automatically try again, so having my computer press the 'return' key every 5 minutes would solve my problem.

Custom Login Module - Commit Method return TRUE always?

Hi,
I am creating a custom login module for my portal authentication.
For the login module, should the commit() method always return TRUE?
The example code on help.sap.com indicates yes to this question.
However, the JAVA Sun standard indicates that commit should return FALSE if the preceding login method returned FALSE.
Does the SAP example stray from the SUN standard? How should I code the commit() method such that it works (Always TRUE, or follow lead of login() method)?
Regards,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
I'm actually working with this document: <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/events/webinars/jaas%20login%20module%20development%20on%20webas%20java%20640.pdf#search=%22classloader%20sda%20jar%20reference%22">JAAS Login Modules</a>.
There is also example code. If it should be ignored they return false, otherwise true (page 32).

Web service login operation that will return a session id.

Hi,
I am very new to web services I just started on this technology a couple of days ago. My manager requires me to create a web service and expose the login(user, password) and logout(sessionid) methods. The login must return session id when user and password authentication is successful.
I've been circling around the internet for a couple days already looking for a tutorial on how to implement this methods and I'm now frustrated.
I would appreciate it very much if someone can provide a link to a tutorial that has similar functionality with my web service.
Thanks.

How to get a character from input stream withjout pressing RETURN key?

In C, we could use getch() form <conio.h> to get a character from the input steam without pressing the return/enter key. How could I tranlate this function for use in Java?

public static char readChar()
int charAsInt = -1; //To keep the compiler happy
try
charAsInt = System.in.read();
catch(IOException e)
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
System.out.println("Fatal error. Ending Program.");
System.exit(0);
return (char)charAsInt;
}
