Login out

Does login out cause affect my maintenance software that does clean up in the early am??

If the maintenance tasks are invoked by an application opened under your account, yes. If they are the built-in maintenance tasks or have been set to run through root's crontab or another global configuration file, no.

Login / out history extraction from 2008R2 Event Logs with a PowerShell script?

Hi folks,
I think I'm asking something similar to a few other posts, but instead of hijacking their threads, I thought I'd start my own.
As the subject suggests, I'm trying to extract from a 2008R2 server's Event logs a table of users and their respective login / out events. Not just asking AD for their last login times, but a list of login / out events.
So far, I'm using:
Get-EventLog -logname security -Newest 1000 | where {$_.eventID -eq 4624 -or 4634 }
but the list is long, and contains host authentication connections as well as users. I believe I need something like the ability to filter on "user is domain user", or "user is not a computer", or similar, and then pipe it to Export-CSV,
but the data is not a CSV file, but more like Text. ie:
Index : 87290035

Why is that even coming up as a result?
Ideally, I would like a CSV file containing these columns:
User,timestamp,computer,logon/off
I've thought about adding a script to the Group Policy where it runs on local machines and appends details to a file on a network share, but I think I would prefer to run this locally, perhaps periodically as a script.

Thanks Matthew for the links. While I was initially thinking that's looking rather complicated, and my solution was simplistic in comparison, I'm finding (with no surprises, really) that things can get rather complicated quickly. If only parsing was easier
(or if only they didn't use "Here-Strings" instead, using normal Strings... </grumble>), as it's now looking at almost ten lines (mostly for readability).
In short, I'm now looking at:
Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=Users,OU=Ebor Computing,DC=Ebor,DC=Local" | Sort-Object | ForEach-Object -Process {
$UserName = $_.SamAccountName
$MsgQuery="*" + $UserName + "*"
$EventID = $_.EventID
$Events = Get-EventLog -logname security -Message $MsgQuery | where {$_.EventID -eq 4624 -or $_.EventID -eq 4634} | ForEach-Object -Process {
$SrcAddr = "Unknown"
$idx = $_.message.IndexOf("Source Network Address:")
if ($idx -gt 0) {$SrcAddr = $_.message.substring($idx+23,15).trim()}
$UserName+","+$SrcAddr+","+$EventID+","+$_.TimeGenerated | Out-File -FilePath $UserName"_login_events.csv" -Append
Eeuuw... don't know why that was parsed as it was above... Either way, this takes a very long time, but gives a separate file for each user and goes back the entire length of the Event Log's history for reporting purposes.
Noting that I had to query AD for the users thus has to run from the AD Powershell, instead of the normal PS, as I don't know the appropriate module load command to get a normal PS to work with AD. Keeping this limitation in mind, I think it works, but needs
some tweaking for formatting and output I think.
I'm tempted to create an RODC for this to run on, but what else does the DC do, really? May as well warm up the CPU for an hour or so ;-) I guess one of the improvements could be to determine if the cycles are being taken up with poor String parsing, or
with AD querying. Another would be to add some comments... ;-)

Mobile Home Directories not syn'g address book on login/out

Mobile Home Directories should be sync'g ~/Library on login and logout .. but its not syn'g anything in !/Library .. so address book changes are not being sync'd.
Any ideas?
/s

If you're managing the Portable Homes (home sync) preferences via Workgroup Manager, you need to adjust the items that are excluded on login/logout. Look in Workgroup Manager > Preferences > (select user, computer, computer group, or group) > Click Mobility. Then look in the Rules section for Login & Logout Sync. By default, ~/Library is excluded from background sync, but not from login/logout sync. (Did you exclude it there?)
Another possibility is that you're excluding ~/Library/Application Support/Sync Services, which contains the Address Book data. That item *is excluded* from login/logout sync by default.

Amazon login/out

I recently changed to mac and found that logging out of the amazon uk site was impossible in Safari. The mouse pointer, when hovering over the 'Your Account' drop down menu will open the list of options, but cannot keep the box open when you navigate down.
I emailed Amazon about this and was told it was a "known issue' and that I should use another browser. Wondered if anyone else has come across this?

what keyhboard layout are you using? What country are you located in? Some of this will also effect the location of the special characters. I have greek installed on my ipad so i can get to things like Delta and Sigma easier, and it has the underscore in the same place as the defaul english (US) keyboard.
I think it is the app itself most likely, which if it is, you need to write to the app developer to get their custom keyboard layout fixed.

Log report of extension mobility login/out times.

We have a request for a report on logged in phones, the user wants to draw a report on the times that the phones, extension mobility, was logged in and out.
Does anyone know of an existing solution.

Hi,
Not sure if you are still looking for this report, but there is an NZ/Australian company called Atea Systems who has a report of this nature running across a customer with 16000 phones.
It's not mentioned directly on the website but the company contact details are there anyway on www.ateasystems.com

Manual report( to track recent login with user id)

Hello,
I want a report where I should be able to track the users id and their recent login/out to BPC Server (via any module Admin, Excel, Web). I am in BPC 5.1
I know this can be tracked via who is online in BPC Admin but the list is showing the name of the users who have logged in through BPC Admin but not via Excel, web.
I want to create a report manually to track the list of users who have last logged in to BPC via any form. How can we create this as report manually? Do we have any EV functions to do this? Please let me know how we can do this.
Thanks
Vijay Venkatesh

Hi Vijay,
Restricting the entry to BPC excel or Web through only Admin is not feasible. The context from where I am coming is, accessibility to excel directly comes in with the installation of BPC Office. So, this means that if BPC Office is installed, the client will have the access to enter BPC for Excel directly. Feasibility of restricting the direct entry is not possible.
The user activities are stored in one of the tables in SQL, from where BPC Admin gets the detail about which user has logged in to the system. If you can create a reprot to fetch the details from that table, then it might be feasible to get the data in excel. However, this needs to be done outside BPC scope, since, BPC doesnt have any function to fetch these kind of results. The creation of this kind of custom report can be very complicated. However, I am not completely sure whether this is feasible or not.
Alternately, You can try with Audit Activity Report also. This will give you some amount of information about user activities.
Hope this helps.

Can I set up a mail login password

Is there a way for me to set up a password for my apple mail so that other people that might use my computer (or in case it is stolen) do not have access to my email. I would like a way to keep it more secure without having to take the time to login/out of my computer account each time I use my laptop. Please let me know if there is a way to do this!
Erika

Set up the Security System Prefs to require a password after waking from sleep.
However, without actually encrypting your data, if your laptop is stolen, there is no way to keep someone from accessing your data.
If you just want to keep them from using your account, follow Barry's advice. On a similar note, you can change the password to your login keychain and set it to auto lock after a set amount of time. That way, none of your passwords are accessible without the keychain password.

How to get list of logged-in users from Flash Media Server in a Flash programm? (Or login/logout notifications)

Hi there,
I'm Very sorry for asking this. I guess it's a very basic problem, but I'm very new to Flash and Flash media Server and I need a very fast answer...
Currently I'm working on a Director project using a flash program which connects to Flash Media Server (I guess version 3, it's quite old). Unfortunately they forgot to make a flash method to send the actual userlist (or a notification when someone logged in or out) to Director. AND, unfortunately, they lost the source code of that flash programm, so I cannot look into it or alter it *sigh*.
Now I want to do a new flash programm which covers the old one, letting all known methods "pass trough" and building an additional method to gain the user list (or login/out notification).
How do I get the login information from Flash Media Server? (Would be good if you could provide an idea already for flash code... as I said I'm a tard at flash till now)
Thank you so much. And I hope you understand my situation asking here...
Jana

hparmar : yes, that's what I feared... I hoped it would be possible to tell the server from which application I do need the login information. What a mess.
Dimo Hristov: thanks for your offer! I already tried decompiling the flash program with the shareware version of Trillix Decompiler. It only decompiled the UI (in a terrible way) but no source code at all. It was the shareware version where I can decompile 2 or 3 programms to test the software. Are you sure the non-free version of Trilix Flash Decompiler will do..?

Opening a html document in order to load a certain website (and login), results in opening the startpage(s) from FireFrox.

we use a html document to automatically login out application. but when this document opens FireFox always opens the startpage. When FireFox is already running the html document works as intended.
no problems with IE.

Unfortunately, Java standard API can't handle PDF file as a distinct document.
However, you could use a physical URLConnection to get any file content as
a simple byte mass.

Facebook suddenly not displaying options such as log-out in Safari. 2013 21.5 iMac/ mavericks / all other browsers are fine

Does anyone know of a problem with FaceBook and Safari. For a while it wouldn't run FaceBook at all and now it does but no longer displays the usual login/out, options, page change, etc. on the top blue bar. I have no problem in Opera or the other browsers but prefer to use Safari. Have done some searching but to no avail. I have a feeling it may repair itself but it is a frustration at the present time

This is what I find truly baffling and frustrating, that other people with the same problem are having the issue resolved without hesitation. And I've been going through this for 3 months now.
I did receive a call last Wednesday, 10 Nov. from customer relations, they have finally agreed to replace the screen .. but .. she told me it isn't being replaced under warranty, it was her personal decision, an act of good will, because they value me as a customer ... which is good news, but I find their reasoning rather patronising and a kind of 'round about' way of addressing the problem without admitting to fault on their side.
She also told me that they would only replace the screen this one time only and they couldn't guarantee that the replacement part wouldn't have a similar problem, and if it does then that's too bad ... and this is after they argued that the problem isn't due to a faulty part. The contradiction has been noted and filed!
So .. I was advised to contact the retailer on 12 Nov to arrange taking the iMac in for repair, I waited until the afternoon of that day, and when I called them I was told they hadn't heard anything from Apple, and that their technician was on holidays for another week. I know they have 2 or maybe even 3 technicians there. I didn't say anything at the time as I wanted to keep things 'friendly' in order to get the job done, but I'm noting everything in writing, and if no further progress is made by next Friday (when the tech is due to return) then more calls will be made and letters will be sent.
If I do need to contact them again I will take your advice iMacMan2010 and ask to speak to someone else, preferably higher up the chain.
I'm glad that a resolution is now looking close, but wont be satisfied until I see the repaired computer sitting on my desk. And even then I'll have serious doubts about making any future Apple purchases.

Account login unavailable on resume from sleep

Greetings,
I am experiencing an inconvenient issue, where on resuming the computer from sleep, my user account is unavailble. By that I mean i have nowhere to type my password. It is resolved by changing to the guest account and login out of that. This returns me to the option of login on via the my user account or guest account. However, it isn't ideal and would like to know if anyone has any solutions. Many thanks in advance.

Same happening here. I also have a problem with Mail.app crashing when I close the window with cmd+w. My upgrade to Mountain Lion was applied Lion that had been migrated from my old MacBook.
The migrated setup was working fine for just over a week before I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Unfortunately I didn't check that Time Machine was backing up my machine and it turns out I don't have that as an option of rolling back to Lion.
Hoping that a fix is found to both problems. Fairly confident given that other people are reporting the same, even on a clean upgrade.

How to, login into the yahoo groups/clubs,....

Hi,
I would like to write a offline browser utility to follow up my yahoo groups and clubs.
I took several attempts before I wrote this mail and I discoverd that it are the redirections and cookies that cause the problems.
Does anyone know a class capable to download a URL dispite of cookies and redirections?
I tried with the swing-brower that comes as example with the JDK but he has also problems with the cookies and redirections.
Greetings
Frank

Want to tie initialization to login using some reasonably easy way.

I have a shared component application process set to execute "on new session" but when I login out of APEX and log back in, it does not execute. It's as if the session is persisting over logout-login. Values from the prior session persist. That seems strange!!?
I need some initialization (3 values are set) to execute every time a person logs into my application. I suppose I could
1) put these on an initialzation page,
2) transfer to the initialization page from login, and then
3) transfer to the first appl page.
But that seems like a round-about way!
Our login page is standard code that I can't modify. So the best I can do is to execute something before or after login.
Ideas? Thanks -- Howard

Hi,
I think this is kind of duplicate post
What is an APEX session? Where is it documented?
You get new session (id) when you "land" to loging page first time or you logout. APEX use same session (id) by default when you login. So "new session" and session id was generated in before login.
That is what I understand. I might understand things wrongly =)
I think this is changed behavior in APEX 4.x comparing to APEX 3.2
You could try use APEX_CUSTOM_AUTH.SET_SESSION_ID_TO_NEXT_VALUE in pre- or post-Authentication process

FYI: Login Script in WGM

Just because I spent many hours trying to solve issues, I thought I would share this. I am running Windows 2003 for AD and Home Directories, and OS X server for Management
Everything that others have written seems to work correctly, but there is a difference if you are using ARD.
Server side
1. Place your script somewhere on the server.
2. In WGM, go to the Login Prefs
3. Select your login/out hook from the server.
4. Click apply
NOTE: If you don't have client side scripts, then you don't need them to run. This isn't required.
5. Go to Prefernces -> Applications and turn on Allow Unix Tools
Client Side
Using ARD
NOTE: if using ARD root user does NOT need to be enabled.
1. send this command from ARD (check send as root user)
defaults write var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow EnableMCXLoginScripts -bool TRUE
defaults write var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow MCXScriptTrust -string Anonymous
rm -rf /Library/Managed\ Preferences/*
NOTE: Anonymous can be changed to Authenticated if you wish
NOTE: If you use the command below in ARD, you will get a CFArray error because the wrong plist is being edited.
Using the Terminal
NOTE: root user needs to be enable
1. Enter this command
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow EnableMCXLoginScripts -bool TRUE
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow MCXScriptTrust -string Anonymous
rm -rf /Library/Managed\ Preferences/*
I hope this helps someone,
