Multiple Users Connected to Airport Disk at Same Time

It used to be that I could have multiple user accounts on my MBP connected at the same time to my AirPort Extreme Base Station (802.11n). Now, every time I switch users, I have to reconnect to the AEBS, which in turn seems to disconnect the other user. File Sharing is set up to allow connections via the AEBS password, which always worked fine in the past.
I'm not sure what has changed in my setup, other than installing Snow Leopard (which I don't assume changed anything in this regard).
Any ideas will be most appreciated.

Sorry no one has answered this question. I have the exact problem. I have two user accounts on my MBP. I selected connecting AEBS via AEBS password, too. I can connect with one account and see everything on the disk. When I switch to the other account, it sees the disk but nothing on it. If I disconnect from the disk in that account and then reconnect to the disk, the second account sees everything on the disk. Switching back to the first account, it now can see nothing on the disk and the disk emblem has an icon on it which indicates no access. Clicking on the disk tells me I have no access privileges for the disk. I can then do the same as I did on the second account - use the disconnect button, reconnect, and then all files appear. Of course, when going back to the second account, can no longer access the information. I can do this all day switching back and forth, disconnecting and reconnecting. Obviously, this is not the way it is suppose to work.
I am using snow leopard also.
I have tried setting the disk up by using accounts - created two user accounts and passwords In the Airport Utility application. I can access the disk but nothing shows up on it. I suppose I could have created stuff on it and it would not have been available to the other account. Still, not the way I want to use it. I think I tried using the disk password method also and I think it reacted just like the user account issue or maybe the other---neither will keep both users logged in and have access to whatever is on the disk - which is how I want to use it.
I add this reply in hopes that someone will read both accounts and give us both an answer. OR, if the original poster now has the answer, please provide!!!

any help will be great, thanks in advance

Hi,

Simulate Multiple users connecting to same session

Hi All,
Is there anyway we can simulate multiple users connecting to the same session in oracle using PL/SQL.
Thanks,
MK.

As per the architects in our company, lots of users connect to the same session and access the database.Exactly what does this mean? A single session can service one user at a time. I would wager that the architects are envisioning (or describing) a connection pooling setup where the middle tier server maintains a relatively small number of connections to the database (each with its own session most likely) and users operate by getting a connection from the pool, making a request, and returning the connection back to the pool. At any given point, only one user can be using a connection.
If that's the case, you would simulate this by simply executing code in a loop in PL/SQL.
Of course, if this is the case, each connection in the connection pool would its own copy of the collection and so each connection would get its own list of order numbers. You'd have to develop some way to ensure that each session populated its collection with a different set of order numbers.

How to provide access to multiple users connected to a Dumb switch? (multi-auth/multi-domain)

Good morning everybody,
I am writing on behalf of not being able to implement a desired outcome in our company network. In fact the situation is as follows:
What I want to do is to be able to authenticate users (802.1x authentication) in our company radius server and authorize them access by having a dynamic VLAN assignment in a multi-user environment on one and the same port of a Cisco 2960 switch. So far, the authentication and authorization has been working completely smoothly (there are no problems with itself). The concept involves the configuration of both DATA and VOICE VLANs as I there is also phone authentication implemented. In order to simulate this environment I introduce a Dumb switch connected to my Cisco 2960 Catalyst.
What I have successfully managed to get to work so far is this:
1) On one switch port I have tried the “authentication host-mode multi-domain” and it worked perfectly for a PC behind a telephone, or with one PC connected to a the dumb switch + the telephone connected to another port of the dumb switch. Logically it is the same situation as there is a separation in two domains – DATA and VOICE. Bellow is an output from show authentication sessions for this scenario.
Interface MAC Address Method Domain Status Session ID
Fa0/23 0021.9b62.b79b dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
Fa0/23 0015.655c.b912 dot1x VOICE Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
2) On the other hand, when I try the same scenario with the “authentication host-mode multi-auth”, the switch still separates the traffic in two domains and is able to authenticate all users, AS LONG AS they are in the same VLAN.
show authentication sessions:
Interface MAC Address Method Domain Status Session ID
Fa0/23 0021.9b62.b79b dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
Fa0/23 b888.e3eb.ebac dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F8008C (user2)
Fa0/23 0015.655c.b912 dot1x VOICE Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
However, I cannot succeed authentication of many users from DIFFERENT VLANs, neither in multi-auth nor in multi-domain modes.
What I want to get is an output like this:
Interface MAC Address Method Domain Status Session ID
Fa0/23 0021.9b62.b79b dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
Fa0/23 b888.e3eb.ebac dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F8008C (user2)
Fa0/23 0015.655c.b912 dot1x VOICE Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
I want the switch to authenticate the users anytime they connect to itself and for them to have an instant access to the network. (I tell this because I tried scenario 1) with multi-domain mode and authentication violation replace, and it worked but, two users never had access to the “Internet” simultaneously!!!
The configuration of the interface connected to the Dumb switch is as follows.
interface FastEthernet0/x
description Connection to DUMBswitch
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan XXX
switchport port-security maximum 10
switchport port-security
switchport port-security violation protect
authentication host-mode multi-auth
authentication priority dot1x
authentication port-control auto
authentication timer reauthenticate 4000
authentication violation replace
dot1x pae authenticator
dot1x timeout tx-period 10
spanning-tree portfast
The way I see it is explained in the following steps:
- PC1 connects to the Dumb switch. This causes the Cisco switch to authenticate user1. This creates an auth. session with its MAC address linked to a domain DATA.
- When PC2 connects to the Dumb switch, this causes the violation replace which replaces the recent authenticated MAC address with the MAC of PC2. I would like it once authenticated to appear in the authentication sessions with a link to a new DATA domain linked to the VLAN assigned from the RADIUS server.
Is this possible? I think (in theory) this is the only way to provide authenticated access to multiple users connecting through Dumb switch to the network.
Has anybody ever succeeded in such a configuration example and if yes, I would be love to get some help in doing so?
Thank you
Stoimen Hristov

Hi Stoimen,
I have done a setup similar to yours with the only exception being VLAN assignment. When I used dACLs only, it makes things somewhat easier as the VLAN no longer matters. Remember that the switchport is in access mode and will only allow a single VLAN across it (with the exception of the voice VLAN). I think that is the real cause of your problem.
From what I can see, you have 2 options available to you:
1) Use dACLs instead of VLAN assignment. This means that an access list will be downloaded from the radius server straight to the authenticated user's session. I have tested this and it works perfectly. Just Google Cisco IBNS quick reference guide and look for the section that deals with Low Impact mode.
2) Get rid of the dumb switches and use managed switches throughout your network. Dumb switches will always be a point of weakness in your network because they have no intelligence to do advanced security features like port security, 802.1x, DHCP snooping, etc.
Hopefully someone else will chime in with another option.

You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

How do you stop multiple Youtube videos from playing at the same time?

As of a few days ago, when I click on a youtube video, as the commercial begins to play, you can begin to hear multiple/different commercials playing at the same time. After the commercials, the same issue occurs with the main video--multiple videos are being played at the same time and are not in sync. I've updated all my plug ins and have tried the suggestion posted in the forum provided in the link below in which someone else has expressed the same issue, but nothing has worked so far. Does anyone know what can be done?
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/5Lnikma4UqM

Are you loading those videos as Flash or HTML5? It is possible to prevent videos from playing until you click something with Flashblock for Flash or Stop Tube HTML5 for HTML5. You can also stop the commercials with Adblock Plus with an Easylist subscription.

How can I restrain the user login portal once, in the same time ???

Hi

How can I restrain the user login portal once, in the same time???
Which attributs in Identity Manager or amconsole I can do it to restrain the user ??
tks

Does your portal support anonymous access? If so, make sure you are using the authlessanonymous mode. This mode only creates one session that is shared for all anonymous users. This is much more efficient than anonymous access, which creates a session for each anonymous user.
I have no other recommendation for limiting users to a single login. In general, web applications do not behave like this. What if a user closes their browser without logging out? Does the user have to wait until the session times out in order to log back in again?
The same thing is true for users that are mobile. If a user leaves their office without logging out and then attempts to log in with a laptop in the conference room, then access will be denied in your implementation. Users do not expect this type of limitation being built into the system.
If you are having problems scaling, then you need to look at your architecture and perhaps add some more resources. Also, make sure you are making efficient use of the authlessanonymous access mode as stated above.

Can psc2510 work connected and wireless at the same time?

My PSC2510 all-in-one is connected to my desktop the old-fashioned way. Can I get my laptop to print wirelessly from the same printer?

I'm pretty sure that USB and wireless connections can work at the same time on this printer. Just make sure the same PC is not connected by both USB and wireless. The software will get "confused" as to which way to communicate with the printer.

Why can't I rotate multiple points in puppet warp at the same time?

You can rotate single points in puppet warp, and you can shift+click to select multiple points and move them at the same time but I see no way to rotate multiple points as one group using puppet warp. This would be a very helpful feature I think should be added.

Can I apply a Rights Management policy to multiple documents in a folder at the same time using Adobe Acrobat Pro?

How can I apply a single Rights Management Policy to multiple documents in a folder at the same time instead of applying it to each document individually?

I don't know of a method with Acrobat, why not set up a watch folder and just drop all the files in that folder to have rights applied. You might want to look at the workbench help if you've not done this before.

Can you connect 2 iPods at the SAME TIME to iTunes?

I have a HUGE music library and I have 2 60 Gb iPods. I manage them manually. I'd like to connect them BOTH, AT THE SAME TIME , to make it easier to make sure they have totally different songs on each of them, and remembering is out of the question :-}. I would have to connect them both simultaneously, and be able to drag songs to either of them. Can this be done without problems?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
From what I have heard, it is possible to do so. I have never tried to do that, though, so I have no experience on this.
