Migrating Virtual Users

OK, I have a feeling I can do this, but I'm having a bit of difficulty, so I thought I'd ask to see if it was just plain a silly thing to do
Is it possible to make a user that can do nothing else besides receive/send email? i.e. I have a virtual domain "virtual.com" and I would like to create [email protected] and let joe receive email but do absolutely nothing else.
That seems fairly straightforward and I think the policy stuff I can do in workgroup manager will get it done (once I figure it all out
The second part, though, is harder:
Can I create a user who owns "@virtual.com" and can administer it (create the users described above who have no other access than email) so that they don't have to bug me every time they need to tweak someone's email?
In the past, I had postfix and courier imap (rather than cyrus) reading from a MySQL database which contained these "virtual" users. Substituting LDAP for MySQL and cyrus for courier should be able to do this, but I'm trying to figure out how users can administer the LDAP part of it securely...
Thanks for any advice you can offer!

There really was no solution to this.
Sure, if you want to do a lot of OpenLDAP work you could simulate it, but I decided to just make "real" users instead.

What are the best practices to migrate VPN users for Inter forest mgration?

What are the best practices to migrate VPN users for Inter forest mgration?

It depends on a various factors. There is no "generic" solution or best practice recommendation. Which migration tool are you planning to use?
Quest (QMM) has a VPN migration solution/tool.
ADMT - you can develop your own service based solution if required. I believe it was mentioned in my blog post.

Virtual users

I've only just recently migrated to OSX server since the release of snow leopard. Ive come from a debain server.
I used to be able to have a virtual user table under sendmail allowing me to have multiple domains with similar usernames in each domain thus:-
[email protected] domain1username
[email protected] domain2username
It seems under workgroup manager (is this the place to add these?) under shortnames even if i create a shortname for domain1username that is [email protected] and a shortname for domain2username that is [email protected] the mail server wont allow mails for [email protected], bouncing with the error message <[email protected]>: User unknown in virtual alias table
Can anyone shed any light or point me to a manual/fix?
Thanks muchly!
Andy

Here's what I've found that works.
In WGM in addition to the shortname you need to add the email address. In this case your username for domain1 and domain2 are the same.

Hi, i have a MB Pro Intel C2D with Lion OS and i migrated the user to another MB Pro i5 Lion, after migrating I'm having a problem on Safari, it won't open and just crashing

Shouldn't be having a problem, then. That's the version for ML. Try taking your question to the Safari forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/safari - that's where all the Safari experts hang out.

Multiple user creation in R12 and migration of users

I would like to know how we can automate a process of user creation in R12, or is there a way to create multiple users in Ebiz with respective responsibilities.
Second case is, migration of users from one instance to another. The problem out here is selective users not all?
Regards

Pl search the forums for FND_USER package - you will find several hits that show how this package can be used in a programmatic fashion to bulk create new users and assign responsibilities. Examples are also available on My Oracle Support.
To migrate user, use FNDLOAD. See this doc - you will also find hits in these forums if you search.

Issue with Migration of Users/groups in Essbase

Hi,
am trying to migrate the users specific to the application using Advanced option through Migration Wizard (EAS 716)..But i see the users with the application on old box and when i check it after migration, am not able to see the users related to that application..
Moreover, i have copied the users specific to that application on old box into new box and after that tried of migrating the same application from old to new box...Even then am not able to see the users with application access..
Is this the right approach which am following? or Kindly suggest me the best way of migrating users/groups...
Thanks

If you chose the advanced option, you should have no problem migrating users and groups along with the application. You probably may have omitted those groups or members from the list. When you migrate do not change anything except server, App and DB names.

When setting up converged network in VMM cluster and live migration virtual nics not working

Hello Everyone,
I am having issues setting up converged network in VMM. I have been working with MS engineers to no avail. I am very surprised with the expertise of the MS engineers. They had no idea what a converged network even was. I had way more
experience then these guys and they said there was no escalation track so I am posting here in hopes of getting some assistance.
Everyone including our consultants says my setup is correct.
What I want to do:
I have servers with 5 nics and want to use 3 of the nics for a team and then configure cluster, live migration and host management as virtual network adapters. I have created all my logical networks, port profile with the uplink defined as team and
networks selected. Created logical switch and associated portprofle. When I deploy logical switch and create virtual network adapters the logical switch works for VMs and my management nic works as well. Problem is that the cluster and live
migration virtual nics do not work. The correct Vlans get pulled in for the corresponding networks and If I run get-vmnetworkadaptervlan it shows cluster and live migration in vlans 14 and 15 which is correct. However nics do not work at all.
I finally decided to do this via the host in powershell and everything works fine which means this is definitely an issue with VMM. I then imported host into VMM again but now I cannot use any of the objects I created and VMM and have to use standard
switch.
I am really losing faith in VMM fast.
Hosts are 2012 R2 and VMM is 2012 R2 all fresh builds with latest drivers
Thanks

Have you checked our whitepaper http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Hybrid-Cloud-with-NVGRE-aa6e1e9a for how to configure this through VMM?
Are you using static IP address assignment for those vNICs?
Are you sure your are teaming the correct physical adapters where the VLANs are trunked through the connected ports?
Note; if you create the teaming configuration outside of VMM, and then import the hosts to VMM, then VMM will not recognize the configuration.
The details should be all in this whitepaper.

Migrating Tiger User Account

I am migrating a user account from an old Intel iMac to a fairly recent MacBook Pro. The iMac is running 10.4.11 and the MBP is running 10.5.2.
When I try to T-Boot the iMac onto the MBP the Firewire logo appears on the iMac screen but is very jerky and staggered. The disk never mounts on the MBP's desktop and Migration Assistant cannot see it.
When I T-Boot the old iMac to another machine running Tiger, it pops right up.
Is this some way of telling me that I cannot migrate Tiger User Accounts to Leopard?
Thanks
Sean

You're making things much more difficult than they have to be. Don't bother trying to use your iPhone to migrate your data. Just backup address book and ical, then import those into the new ones. Copy the iTunes library and have done with it.
Sync to iPhone was never intended to be a 2 way street.
I can understand not wanting to bring old junk with you when it comes to migrating your old user account and all the preference files and the like, but in the time it took you to try to find a way to get things moved via your phone, you could have done it manually.

Is there a way to migrate AD users to different domain?

Hello SharePoint Fam,
I have a 10,000 user environment and these users are spread across 15 different domains. Our data/network team are beginning to migrate and consolidate our environment down to one domain. We did a test and had them migrate a couple of accounts
to different domain and confirmed that this breaks the user access. Is there a script or recommendation that I could use to migrate specific users to this domain? This new domain is still under the same forest
Thanks n advance,

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to migrate AD users to another domain.
The tool you need to migrate users between domains is ADMT (Active Directory Migration Tool) which will migrate users, groups, and computers.
After that, we need to use Move-SPUser to migrate the users to new accounts:
$user = Get-SPUser -web http://my.website.url -Identity DomainA\UserA
Move-SPUser -IgnoreSID -Identity $user -NewAlias 'DomainB\UserA'

LoadRunner SAPGUI Virtual Users Decline

I am trying to perform a Load Test on SAP R/3 using LoadRunner 9.5. I have 120 virtual users that I would like to run for an hour. I have distributed these 120 vusers over 6 scenarios on 5 load generators. The maximum number of virtual users that I have been able to run at one time is 114. The number then slowly declines over the next 40 minutes and stabilizes at 91 vusers (which run for the remaining hour). The messages I get from LoadRunner indicate that users have logged on and navigated to their assigned transaction code in SAP, but fail to perform the first step in that transaction code (this happens for ME21N, ME22N, ME23, FB10, F-43 which is all of the transaction codes that I am testing). I have worked with the Basis Group here to ensure that there are enough interactive dialog work processes, set each scenarios think time to random, initialize and start each vuser individually, and ensured that each load generator has enough RAM. The only thing left that I know to try is to increase the number of dialog processes per user. However, we cannot figure out the parameter name to do this. If anyone knows the name of this parameter or have any other suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!

Hello Andy,
We are having a similar problem, did you ever get an answer about this issue?
Thank you!

Migrate the users, groups from essbase 7.1.6 to shared services

Hi
Our current production is essbase version 7.1.6 and we are planning to migrate to EPM 11.1.2 . We would like to move the security administration from Essbase to Shared Services (want to use Native Directory).
can somebody please suggest
1) An utility that Oracle provides with EPM 11.1.2 that helps to migrate the users and groups from 7.1.6 to shared services?
2) After bringing the users groups from 7.1.6 to 11.1.2, do we need to externalize these users and groups or no need?
Appreciate the help. Thanks,

if you have LDAP/MSAD try to configure it first .That will get your users
Now using maxl
spool on to GROUP.txt
display gruoup all;
spool on to USER.txt
display user in group all;
for test purpose create a test group and a test user from the shared services.
Now using GROUP.txt
make up maxl statements to create groups(use any advanced text editor or MS excel to get your work done fast)
create group 'groupname';
now login into that shared services
go to FOundation Application group->click sharedservices->drop down native directory ->Right click on Groups and select export for edit.THat will save you Groups.csv file.
Now
1.Open that Groups.csv file
2.Using USER,txt ,paste the users in that file under their respective group.(Look for test group created that should give you an idea!!!)
3.Paste user correctly and save it to the same file Groups.csv
4.go to FOundation Application group->click sharedservices->drop down native directory ->Right click on Groups and select IMPORT for edit.
5.that will get your users into the groups.
________filters_______
Using maxl again
spool on to FILTER.txt
display filter row all;
spool on to GRPRIVILEGE.txt
display privilege group all;
Now using FILTER.txt
create maxl statements
(use any advanced text editor or MS excel to get your work done fast)
Ex: create filter app.database.filtername read/write/none/metaread on 'AREA ' ;
Using GRPRIVILEGE.txt
create maxl statements
grant filter app.databse.filtername to 'groupname';
that should get your filters created and assigned.
else you can use Advanced Security Manger
http://www.appliedolap.com/free-tools/advanced-security-manager
hope that should give you an idea!!!!!!!

Migrating a user to another tablespace!

Dear All
I need to migrate a user and all the tables associated with the user to a new tablespace and schema in other database.
This is from Development to Production server.
In Production Server i created a new schema and a tablespace associated with that say SCOTT.
Now from Development server i want to export a user (PRO) and import this to the new schema SCOTT to the production server.
Is it possible - if so would you please help me to follow up!
Thanks in advance
Ravi Prakash

Hi ravi,
if i understand correctly you want to move to new instance,
if so you can not use the move tablespace and rebuild.
you can use the exp/imp in case you are using oracle version less than 10g
in case you are using 10g - you can use the data pump for the export/ import.
in case you do not Have any long/ lob in tables import should recreate the tables in production server.
how ever dew things should be think about, what about tables physical attributes?
check

for oracle export import and data pump documentation

Pure-ftpd - different permissions for virtual users?

I seem not to be able to find out how I could declare different permissions for different virtual users. In /etc/pure-ftpd.conf exists one line to declare permissions using
#umask file:folder
umask 133:133
umask matches the numbers to 'UserGroupOthers'.
Now that virtual ftp users belong to a real existing unix user / group, I wonder who is Users, Group and Others?
Users = virtual ftp user ?
Group = virtual ftp group ?
Others = anonymous visitors?
How can I tune it, so one virtual user can add files - f.e. to be used by a scan station - while others shall only read, having anonymous disabled?
This gives me a headache.

Ok, let me think. What did I do?
I had different users. User X, Y and Z.
Then, I had a shared directory above their home directories.
While in the system, (not in pure-ftpd) I symlinked.
(Note that doing something in user X's directory, like ln -s ../shared didn't work---I had to do ln -s /usr/home/ftpuser/shared).
Then, I ~think I played with the permissions on shared and got what I wanted.
Then, after a few hours on this, they changed their minds about what they wanted, everyone was allowed to use shared, but different companies had to have their own directories, so I no longer have that config.
For what it's worth, you can take a quick look at my page
http://www.scottro.net/qnd/qnd-pureftpd.html
but I don't think it covers that situation.
HTH, though I doubt that it did.

Trying to migrate Ultiboard user database from Ver 11 to 12

I updated my software to Ver 12, and noticed that my user database did not migrate. I then copied my ver 11 user db to the Ver 12 location and restarted Ultiboard. Upon invoking Ultiboard, I received a diagnostic stating that my user database was the wrong version and would not be useable. So how do I migrate my user database, and why wasn't this part of the update procedure in the first place?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you for your quick reply,
Here are 3 screenshots containing the Version (which is education), path and the error message.
Please let me know if you need more information.

Vacation responses for SA-style virtual users

We've chosen to implement virtual users via Server Admin, rather thsn by manually editing files. We're now looking for a way to implement vacation responses. According to the 10.4 mail documentation, Sieve won't work with virtual users implemented this way. What are the alternatives to Sieve, specifically for vacation responses? Thanks to whomever can help.

I am sorry to disappoint you, but there is no easy
way of doing this. You'd be better off implementing
postfix style virtual aliases.
I was afraid you'd say that but thanks for the reply.
