Multiple Users per Application

Hi there,
I got the following problem. We want to install/run an application via java ws that should be used by multiple users. So we want to install it once with a admin user and all the other users should be able to run it without installing it themselves. At the moment every user completely installs the client.
Is there any way in solving this?

yes, you will need to make use of the system cache and import feature in java web start 5.0
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/javaws/developersguide/javaws.html
javaws -system -import ...
to install web start applications into the system cache.
configure the system cache via deployment properties file: (deployment.system.cachedir)

Muliple users in Application Express

Is there a way of creating multiple users in Application Express/htmldb without using the console? I need to create approximately 700 accounts. It's for our students who's requirements this year are to use it as part of their coursework.
I'm assuming it will be an SQL script.

1 mac, multiple users

Hi all,
Running Aperture 2 on my iMac that I share with my wife. We each have a separate login for things like ichat, mail, safari prefs, etc. I am the photo enthusiast (hobby), but she likes to post a lot of the pictures (of our kids primarily) on our family website, and can make her way around Aperture enough to drag pix to an external upload folder
I've been using Aperture with the library on the internal drive, with backup on the external FW400, but am using it under her login so she has access to the pictures (library in her "pictures" folder). I would prefer running under my login so I have access to my setup. Would it make sense/work well to put the library on the external drive so it can be accessed by any user? Are there any permissions that would need to be changed? Or should I try to put the library in a shared folder on the internal hard drive?
I have a separate external HD for time machine.
Thanks for any and all thoughts.

Here are my observations from Aperture version 1. Basically it has flaws. What I do is use iPhoto as the multiple user photo application and every month I put our favorite images into iPhoto. If the iPhoto and Aperture library are both on an external drive, the iPhoto 7 may be able to see the Aperture library from any login. I have not tried that

Multiple users logged into one server, each users printer has a different name, application needs ONE name to print to.

Multiple users logged into one server, each users printer has a different name, application needs ONE name to print to.
I'm NOT in any way a Terminal Services expert and I need help trying to get an application program working in a multi-user environment.
The issue is that the printer changes for every user that is logged in. The application needs to print NOT to the default printer, but to a "special" printer which is selected in the application... let's call it a label printer to simplify the explanation.
You have your default regular printer, easy for the application to find that one, and then you have a special printer that labels get printed onto. The application needs to know what printer is the label printer. So we allow the user to select that in the
application and the selection is stored in a config file in
C:\ProgramData\mfgr\prog\setting files
I don't have access to the application so I can't change how this works.
In the "regular" world, selecting the label printer driver to use should be per machine, NOT per user. When a new user logs into a machine, the physical printer doesn't go "poof" and a new printer suddenly appear. Same printer for all
users.
Yet in terminal services, the physical machine is "merged" with the virtual machine on the server. And there can be many users logged in at the same time. So each users real machine (and real printer) is injected into the "fake" terminal
services machine. The name of the printers is made unique for each user. So the printers DO go "poof" and change names depending on the user logged into terminal services.
So user "A" logs in and sets up the application to print to "LabelPrinterForUserA" (or whatever the name of the printer happens to be), that setting is stored in the ProgramData subfolder, and all is well. Later, user "B" logs
in, and when they print, the application tries to print to "LabelPrinterForUserA" which doesn't exist for user B or is only accessible by user A. If user B re-configures, that breaks it for user A.
SOLUTION 1: The way that /should/ work (in my mind) is that you define one "generic" printer in Terminal Services... call it "Virtual Label printer" and when the user wants to print to it, the print job gets re-directed back to whatever
physical printer is actually connected to their local workstation. There is a map of virtual printer to actual printer depending on the current user. The application is told once to print to "Virtual Label Printer" for all users.
SOLUTION 2: Or... there should be some way to make the ProgramData sub folders separate per user. E.g. when user "A" tries to access:
C:\ProgramData\mfgr\prog\setting files
they actually get
C:\UserData\UserA\AppData\mfgr\prog\setting files
and user "B" gets
C:\UserData\UserB\AppData\mfgr\prog\setting files
So the question I have is: Does either of those solutions exist hidden somewhere in the setup of terminal server? Or is there another way around this issue that I don't know?

I don't really have a "for sure" answer to this, but because people here can't seem to deal with a question that hasn't been answered I'll provide the best answer I did receive from ServerFault.com user Nathan:
I can feel your pain with using old software on terminal servers ...the solution I've come up with definitely won't scale as it requires some manual configuration, but I've gotten this method to work with our label printers (which require to be
printed to an LPT port...yep, that old).
Share your USB-connected printers to the network on each machine. Then, have the user log in on aunique session for each of them
(a TS account cannot be shared among computers for this to work) and install a network printer pointing to the USB one they shared. Try to use a DNS name to account for possible DHCP movements.
After, it should work. Each user can do this since display names can be identical as long as the ports are different (which they are).
This was clarified by the following series of comments:
I think you are on to something here, and I originally advised the admin to do this. The problem he ran into is that it setup the printer names in the TS as "printer on usersworkstation"
and he could not rename it except to change the "printer" to whatever. E.g. the "on userworkstation" remained. I believe there is another way of installing the printer which avoids this, but I can't find it. Ages ago, one used to do NET
USE LPT2 \\computer\printer password /USER:domain\user /PERSISTENT:YES and then tell the driver to print to LPT2 –  James

@JamesNewton That's actually the exact method we used. The way around the "network printer" part is to install it as local printer and map it to a TCP/IP port that way. –  Nathan

You mean in the case where the printers are TCP/IP connected and not local USB / LPT to the users workstation? That makes sense. Wonder if this will work for USB connected printers... –  James

@JamesNewton You'd share the local printer on the client's PC then on the server connect via TCP/IP to it. You'd need static addresses or use DNS names if DHCP, though. –  Nathan

Ah. Yes. I see. Looks like the LPT thing should work even with a USB connected printer:superuser.com/questions/182655/… –  James

Updating applications for multiple users

I have set up multiple user accounts on my mac pro so that I can restrict my kid's access to applications and the web. Trouble is that I am unable to update his browser and flash plug-in. My default browser is Firefox 17.0, Flash Player 11.5.502.110 but his shows up as Firefox 3! I have scrolled through the Parental Controls: Allowed Apps list looking in vain for a way to select the *right* browser version, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Thanks for responding, Kirk. Per your suggestion I checked the parental controls panel to see which apps folder was selected and found that there seemed to be no way to navigate to a particular folder. It simply offers an option named "Other Apps". Next I looked at the User/blah/Applications folder and found that there was none--so parental controls must be pointing to the HD/Applications folder.

How can I sync Iphone to a PC calendar then have multiple users share that calendar? Is there an application that does that?

How can I sync Iphone to a PC calendar then have multiple users share that calendar? Is there an application that does that?

If it is actually an exchange calendar, and it's not linked to a specific user, it should be possible to simply add the exchange account to each device in question and have that exchange account only sync the calendar. Then every user has access to the same calendar and can add/edit entries to the calendar as needed.
The same would apply if it were a Google calendar added via Exchange.
If the calendar is not actually on Exchange, but rather added from an outside source, it will depend on that outside source where the calendar originates.

I have an iMac with 2 internal drives and set-up with multiple user accounts. How do I create a path to store data files on my second drive within an application?

I have an iMac with 2 internal drives and a multiple user account set-up. Hw do I create a path to store data files on the second drive within an application?

This is the Mac mini forum not the iMac forum however...
Applications written for average users like Photoshop, Word, i.e. GUI based applications provide a 'Save' dialog box which while allow selecting second drives or any drive. The dialob box initially shown might be in the simple mode but you just need to click on the triangle to show the full set of options. You should then see the different drive names amongst other options.
If your referring to an application your writing yourself then you need to build a pathname. This can be in one of two styles depending on the programming system your using. This could be a POSIX style path or a Mac style path.
POSIX = /Volumes/volname/foldername
Mac style = Volname:foldername:

Multiple Users & Applications

Does having multiple users double the amount of applications, therefore taking up more hard drive space? I'm curious about that as I was thinking of making another user account on OS X.

No. Just put all applications in the /Applications folder at the top level of the boot volume. All users have read access to this folder.

Multiple user sessions for ADF application

Hi All,
We have a ADF application with 3-4 pages starting with a login screen.
Assume we have two users, user1 and user2. In same system but different browser windows, when both users are logging in, only user2 's session is active. Though user1 logged in first and is able to perform transactions, the moment user2 logs in, user1's session is being over-written by user2 (user1's window now displays user2's information). I have observed the URL of user1 window which now changes to user2's URL (_adf.ctrl-state parameter of user2 is displayed in user1 browser)
How do we overcome this?? We have a requirement to be able to open multiple user sessions.
We are using JDeveloper 11.1.2.3.0 and browsers being used are IE 8, IE9 and chrome.
Thanks,
Deepti

Hi,
Continuation to my above question
I am using these two statements in my code..
ExternalContext ectx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
HttpSession httpSession = (HttpSession)ectx.getSession(true);
On any event in Window1, I gues it is getting the context and session of window2(this being the latest)..
Shouldnt it return the context and session of the current window instead of the latest window???
This problem is well explained here
internet explorer 8 - How to avoid session sharing provided by IE8 programmatically in Java EE application? - Stack Over…
I want to know.. what is the best way to handle this in ADF... We are using managed beans with request scope and using HttpSession to store few values like user Id.

Multiple users accessing single application in HTML DB 2.1 with XE

Hi,
I am struggling to setup an application in HTMLDB 2.1 on XE.
I would like multiple users to be able to access the same application. I have created the application and the users but now I need to give the new users access to the application.
Can some highlight how to do this? Is it with authorisation schemes?
Thanks
Joel.

Joel,
Have you reviewed the XE documentation on Managing End Users?

Creating multiple users for an apex application

Hi,
I have an application deployed on apex 4.0. For my application currently there is only one default user having the same username / password as the workspace which this application is a part of. However, I need to have multiple users to be able to segregate roles. I have created a table with the required users and corresponding passwords, however, am unable to ,make the login page reference this table instead of the default username and password it currently does. Can someone please help me out.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
If you install demonstrative application to your workspace, you can see example how use custom authentication.

Running multiple User Profile Service Applications -- recommendations, pitfalls, etc.

I have a farm with one WFE, one APP, and one SQL server. The User Profile Service runs on both WFE and APP, the User Profile Sync Service is on the APP server. There is a single User Profile service application running that pulls from 4 different AD
import sources: two in the US, one in London, and one in Mexico.
There is a nightly incremental synch.
There is an issue where the London users need the synch to occur hourly.
There are some complexities with one of the US sources in that would make it difficult to run the current User Profile service hourly, plus there is a performance concern.
I'm interested in possibly creating a second User Profile Service Application that reads only from London and runs hourly.
Beyond creating the User Profile service and scheduling hourly, what should I be concerned about?
Will I need to (re)create new Audiences based on those from the original User Profile Service App? Run them immediately after User Profiles? Will there be an interruption in access during that gap?
Recreate custom User Properties?
Recreate any Forefront modifications?
New Profile/Sync/Social DBs?
etc?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use multiple user profile service application.
Yes, you can do it. Only one user profile application can be configured to work with the Profile Synchronization Instance. If you want more UPS instance, you need to start UPS on different server.

Auto email multiple copies to multiple user as per filter

Hello all ,
I am developed a report
as below
Auto email status report to particular Heads if store proc returns data for him .
I can make a copy of report for one head using his division filter and user_id
and if store proc returns data for him so email to him ..
same thing for multiple users with same store proc can return the data and email
but i dont getting how can i do this...?
Please (Visakh 16) and others help on this
Dilip Patil..

Hi,
I think you should create one Delivery Profile, with multiple Email Devices. Within the Delivery Profile you should add all the Email Devices you want to use.
If this Delivery Profile is active, you can add Active Devily Profile as the User Destination on the Destination page of the iBot.
Otherwise you can check if it works when you select 'Email' as the Specific Device.

App updates for multiple users on same Mac with maverick

Background. I have a single iMac that I have been using since ~2007. It's a family computer and there are three(3) accounts/users on it. I am the administrator for them. The operating system has been kept up with each OS upgrade since its purchase. We are currently using Maverick.
Problem - In the past with all the other operating systems (pre-Maverick), when a application needed to be upgraded I could log into my account (administrator rights) and perform the necessary upgrade and it would propgate to ALL the users on this computer. However, since upgrading to Maverick I can no longer just upgrade on the administrators account (i.e. mine) and it propogate to the other users. I now have to log into each individual account (i.e my wifes and sons) and perform the upgrades to their account.
Question - Does anyone know if there is a way to allow the administrator to perform the single upgrade that propogates to others users in OS Maverick without having to log into each individual accounts and updating each account separately. Also does anyone know why OS Maverick no longer supports the capability like ALL previous OS's have in the past?
Thanks

Ok thanks. The apps that I'm referring to are: Pages, keynote, numbers, iMovie, and iPhoto. Each of these were originally purchased or came (iLife / iWork) with the machine when I purchased it. All of those apps are located for each user under HD/Applications folder. Each user does have a apple iD for itunes and itunes purchases for songs etc. but all applications are purchased by me the administrator and placed in the HD/Applications folder. So I'm not sure why I now (since upgrading) to Maverick need to go into each account and perform the updates to these apps. All previous OS updates never had this problem.
Does this now mean for each user that I perform the update my HD is getting multiple downloads and installs and increasing the amount of usage per application. For example if "pages" takes 1 Gb and I install it for each user will it now take a total of 3Gb for the 3 users?
Thanks for your help
