Multipoint for Libraries - user session time limit?

We are getting a Multipoint Server system for our small local public library. We will be using this system for Public Access workstations. We would like to limit the amount of time a patron can use a workstation before the workstation is logged out. By limiting
the amount of time, we provide equitable access to all patrons. Can Multipoint Server be configured to provide auto-logoff after a certain amount of time? If not, what other solutions are there that can provide this timer feature? Optimally, we would like
the patron to be notified a few minutes before the auto logoff so he/she can save their work.

We use an open source application called Cybera. It is no longer being developed, and you do need to be a bit techie to customize it the way you want it. I am running catalog computers on Multipoint 2011, and getting ready to put our internet
computers on Multipoint 2012. So far I've verified that Cybera works on Multipoint 2011. Let me know if you want more information.

Ise 1.2.1 User session time limit?

Is it possible to set a dot1x user to have a time limited session?
Scenario is a wireless PEAP client connects to a wlc controlled access point
Management wants that session to last no longer than 10 minutes and then is disconnected and not automatically reconnected.
Must use native supplicant.
I can't think of a way to fill all the requirements, anyone have ideas?

RemoteApp Session Time Limit

Hi,
I'm a Windows Server 2008 R2 user.
I'm looking to terminate a remoteApp session that is left idle.
I have already change the "Set Time Limit for Active but idle Remote Desktop Services Session to 1 minute" and i have also enabled "Terminate Session When time limits are reached" for both Computer Congfiguration and User Configuration.
Other Session Time Limits options are not configured.
After doing so, i did type gpupdate in the command prompt.
But whatever changes i make, doesn't have any effect on the RemoteApp.
Please to help to advice,
Thanks,
Jvarman

Hi,
Thank you for your post in Windows Server Forum.
As you have already configure Session Time Limit group policy, you need to apply other group policy related to RemoteApp that is “Set time limit for logoff of RemoteApp sessions”. You can specify the time limit for RemoteApp to disconnect.
The setting is under the same path which you have provided for Session Time limit.
Note: We recommend that you set other session limit policy settings that end the session to a time limit that is higher than the RemoteApp logoff delay policy setting. If this is not the case, there is a possibility for conflict.

Locks list for a user session

Hello,
Is there a function module or class/method which will give me the list of all locks of a user in the current session and not across all sessions (like transaction SM12). Function modules like ENQUE_READ and ENQUE_READ2 provides the lock list for a user across all sessions but not in the seesion in which the FM is being executed.
Please let me know if you have any information in this regard.
Thanks & Regards,
Saurabh

Design advice for setting users default time

I have an application that in a number of different places requires that records when being updated or created are shown to default to the user's current date. Depending on the location of the user, this could be a different day than where the server is.
All of the relevant fields in the database tables are using a datatype of "TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE". When a users account is initially created, the timezone that the user is in is saved. When the user logs on, an "alter session set time_zone" command runs on the database to change the time zone of the current session.
When a user updates or creates a record and one of the field(s) requires to display the current date of the user, I call a ViewObject which runs a query to "select current_timestamp from dual" to return the current date from the database and populate the field with this.
I've realised that I'm creating a considerable overhead as this view object may be queried dozens of times during a users session and was thinking of running it once when the user logs on and storing the "USER_DATE" as a session variable - then I can simply refer to this each time, instead of many round-trips off to the database. Obviously there is a risk if the user logs on just before midnight and stays on until after that the date will be incorrect but this is extremely unlikely as the application is only used during normal business hours up to 9pm as an exception
Am I heading down the right track here or doing something daft (and missing something far more simple that I should be doing !)
Cheers,
Brent

Hi Frank,
Thanks for that - after 8 years of working with Oracle Forms and afterwards the same again with ADF, I still find it hard sometimes when using ADF to understand the best approach to a particular problem - there is so many different ways of doing things/where to put the code/how to call it etc... ! Things seemed so much simplier back in the Forms days !
Chandra - thanks for the information but this doesn't suit my requirements - I originally went down that path thinking/expecting it to be the holy grail but ran into all sorts of problems as it means that the dates are always being converted into users timezone regardless of whether or not they are creating the transaction or viewing an earlier one. I need the correct "date" to be stored in the database when a user creates/updates a record (for example in California) and this needs to be preserved for other users in different timezones. For example, when a management user in London views that record, the date has got to remain the date that the user entered, and not what the date was in London at the time (eg user entered 14th Feb (23:00) - when London user views it, it must still say 14th Feb even though it was the 15th in London at the time). Global settings like you are using in the adf-config file made this difficult. This is why I went back to stripping all timezone settings back out of the ADF application and relied on database session timezones instead - and when displaying a default date to the user, use the timestamp from the database to ensure the users "date" is displayed.
Cheers,
Brent

OPENINFO and SesTm (session time limit)

Hi All
And thanks in advance.
We don't quite understand SesTm and it's behavior. (We have spent lots of time reading about it and still)
We have SesTm=60 (and transaction timeout set to 5 min) how come a call to the database last 10 min and only then return with "ORA-02049" ?
* "ORA-02049: timeout: distributed transaction waiting for lock"
1) Why the query didn't return after 60 sec with an error as SesTm=60 instructs ?
*May be we don't understand SesTm. (please advice)
2) Why the query didn't return after 5 min as the transaction timeout instructs ? (TMQFORWORD -t 300)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXTRA INFORMATION (OPTIONAL) documentation of SesTm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The SesTm definition:
" SesTm=session_time_limit
Specifies the maximum number of seconds allowed in a transaction between one service and the next, or between a service and the commit or rollback of the transaction, before the system aborts the transaction. For example, SesTM=15 indicates that the session idle time limit is 15 seconds.
For example, if the TPM uses remote procedure calls between the client and the servers, then SesTM applies to the time between the completion of one RPC and the initiation of the next RPC, or the tx_commit, or the tx_rollback.
The value of 0 indicates no limit. Entering a value of 0 is strongly discouraged. It might tie up resources for a long time if something goes wrong. Also, if a child process has SesTM=0, then the SesTM setting is not effective after the parent process is terminated ."

Hi,
timeouts can be tricky (see other threads in this forum for some elaborations on timeouts).
To be brief, always set SesTm to a higher value than your transaction timeout. Rationale: You'll want Tuxedo to take action first, not Oracle ("behind Tuxedo's back"). If Tuxedo takes action first, the transaction will be managed more predictably if more data sources are involved.
Now it gets even more complicated. The transaction timeout value does not really specify how long something is really going to last, only how long time we're ready to wait for it until we give up. The -t 300 parameter to TMQFORWARD really means that the transaction will be forced to be rolled back unless it completes in (some) 300 seconds (it's really 300 seconds + BLOCKTIME - 1 that gives the maximum time due to rounding issues).
Just because the client (TMQFORWARD in this case) gives up waiting for a reply, the server won't necessary give up trying to produce it. In fact, it will continue to try as hard as possible to finally deliver a result. Any DML operation after the transaction timeout will most probably fail, but the server might try a lot of them (and the one causing the timeout will generally have to complete first).
If you really want to terminate long-running transactions in the server you need to specify a SVCTIMEOUT for the service(s) in question. In this case, Tuxedo will kill (using SIGINT and/or SIGKILL) any process running a service that takes too long time. In this case you better configure the server (the potential "killee") with RESTART=Y and MAXGEN=x.
Hope this helps,

How to set per user session time out.

Hi folks,
I am trying to set longer session time out to selective users with the following line, but it turns out setting this time out for the whole app. Is there a way to change the session time out per user only?
request.getSession(true).setMaxInactiveInterval(172800);
Billy

Well, there's the rub. If you want more control over session handling, you have to take the good with the bad. My suggestion is to use a good open source caching solution and let the cache evict entries for you. You should be able to specify both an interval over which data goes stale and/or the maximum size you want the cache to reach. Really, a session is just a specialized form of caching anyway.

Can't Enable File Sharing for Guest Users on Time Capsule

Hey all,
My roommate has a time capsule that is capable of using a guest network, which my other roommate and I use to connect to the Internet. I have a Mac Mini, Mac Pro, iPhone, iPad, all of which cannot currently communicate with each other due to being on the "guest network."
I have seen instructions for enabling the "allow guest users to communicate with each other" option, but have loaded the roommate's Airport Utility and it does not have that option. He's running OS X 10.7 and has Airport Utility 6.1. There are options to configure the guest network, but nothing about enabling sharing between computers on the guest network.
See:
http://news.goldenweb.it/article.php?l=en&id=27203&group_dir=comp&grouplist=comp .sys.mac&group=comp.sys.mac.comm
This article seems to suggest the option is not even available anymore, which seems very odd to me. Any ideas? Thank you for your help!

How to trace for multiple user sessions?

Hello -
I have a username from the app that has 7 connections to the database. What is the easiest way that I can run the 10046 trace event across all 7 sessions, and also name the trace files so they can be recognized in user_dump?
Thanks in advance!

Check what sid and serial# has session:
select sid, serial# from sys.v_$session where ...
start tracing session with:
execute dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session(sid, serial#, true);
stop tracing with
execute dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session(sid, serial#, false);
Look into udump directory for trace files:
The default name for a trace files is INSTANCE_PID_ora_TRACEID.trc where:
INSTANCE is the name of the Oracle instance,
PID is the operating system process ID (V$PROCESS.OSPID); and
TRACEID is a character string of your choosing.

IMovie for iPad video recording time limit 40 minutes

Dear community,
thank you already for helping me with this issue.
I got a new iPad mini with 128 GB storage in order to record movies on the go.
I was recording yesterday and it twice stopped automatically after 40 mins - which obviously is very annoying as I am recoding workshops and lessons that are a few hours long.
Do you have any suggestions?
All Apps are up to date and the free storage is around 110 GB which means at least 100 hours of movies.
Thank you!
Christian.

ive tried that -it works one out of 5 times-and then after exporting then uploading to Youtube-the times to upload are ridiculous-100,200,300,even 400 minutes-and in REAL TIME-not catch up as some progress bars do-and then after waiting that time it decides to tell me problem with upload etc etc; i use MPEG streamclip to export to MP4-then import to iMovie-then i EXPORT to desktop-the use the YouTube uploader (I am now allowed to upload an hour or more to Youtube)

Fingerprint Reader not working for unlocking user session

I have a Thinkpad T440 with windows 8.1 Enterprise and a strange problem with the fingerprint reader. After reboot, I can logon with no issue to the domain using fingerprint. When I lock the PC and try to logon again, biometric logon is not available and I'm unable to authenticate with fingerprint. When I do a "switch user", biometric logon is again available on the logon screen and I can logon to my session with fingerprint.
I've installed the latest Lenovo software via System Update, also all Windows patches. Client is joined to the domain, I have local admin right. Clients running Windows 7 do not have this issue.
Any help from the community?

Nobody able to help?

How to make an exception to RDS session Idle Time Limit?

A little bit of background:
We are running WYSE Thin Clients to connect to a RDS server farm at our company. We have set the Idle Session Time Limit to 12 hours, in Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration (in Connection --> Properties --> Sessions tab). This limit
is a site requirement.
The issue: We would like to configure a few accounts to stay logged into the RDS server indefinitely, past the 12 hour limit. How can we do this without changing the time limit for everyone?
I have tried a script to simulate mouse movements/key presses at intervals on the client session to trick RDS, but Remote Desktop Service Manager does not show that the script affects the idle time for that client. Is there another automatic way to simulate
user input to keep the client session active? What kind of hardware interrupt is RDS hooking into to determine that a human input has been pressed? A script would be the least intrusive to our infrastructure so if it is possible this is definitely preferred.
I've heard that Group Policy may be a solution here - but our local IT department do not have admin access to the Domain Controller for our site, it is managed by a third party. However, if I were to solve this using group policy, what would be the
steps? I would appreciate a step-by-step walk through if it is possible. We would have hundreds of users that need the 12 hour limit applied, and only a few that needs the infinite logon - so please keep practicality in mind.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
In your case, I would like to suggest the steps for you. Yes, you need to take this successful via group policy.
You can create 2 group: Just for reference:
Group 1- MinLoginTime
Group 2-MaxLoginTime
Add the required users to particular group.
Users upto 12Hrs- MinLoginTime
Users above 12 Hrs- MaxLoginTime
Now need to apply group policy setting on this required groups.
Group 1- MinLoginTime:
Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions-
Enable -Set 12 Hrs
End Session when time limits are reached- Enable
This is because it will disconnect the session of your users who reached to 12 hrs.
Group 2-MaxLoginTime:
Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions-
Not configured\Disable
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, this policy setting is not specified at the Group Policy level. By default, Remote Desktop Services allows sessions to remain active for an unlimited amount of time.
You can find the above setting option under below mention path.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits
User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits
Note: These Group Policy settings will take precedence over the settings configured in Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration. If both the Computer Configuration and the User Configuration policy settings are configured, the Computer Configuration policy
settings take precedence.

Session time out in Websphere Application Server

Hi ,
I am using Websphere Application server 5.1 . I need to set the session time out for my web application. Actually, i edited the web.xml and set the value
<session-config>
<session-timeout>10</session-timeout>
</session-config>But when I am refreshing my jsp page, after 10-15 mts, i am able to get a valid page without any problem. Actually since the session time out is 10 mts , I should not get a valid page after 10 mts . I tried one more option for setting the session time out . I opened the admin console of my App server and set the session time out there too. But session not seems to be timing out after 10-15 mts. I am still able to get a valid jsp page. I have many session attributes in that page. So after 10 mts, i should not get a valid page.. I dont know, what's wrong in my configuration. If some body knows the answer please help me.
thanks in advance.
Aneesh K

So what you're trying to achieve is that the ui closes or becomes invalid if no action has been performed for a certain time? That should be easy enough, install a javax.swing.Timer somewhere in your application and set it to the time you desire. Whenever the user performs an action, invoke reset() on the timer (it's a fairly cheap operation). If the timer fires, you know the timeout occured.
You have to decide for yourself what you consider a 'user action' in this context. If you want the session to stay alive as long as the user is still doing something, just install an AWTEventListener, which can react to pretty much anything, mouse movement, keyboard input etc.
