Help needed - automatic log in on public computer. How to get rid of the account.

Hi there
Recently while on vacation, my son logged into a public computer on his ichat. Unfortuantely, it was clicked as automatic log in.
Now we are back home and have realized that someone has been accessing his account.
We have tried deleting the account from our home computer, however, it does not delete it from the public computer.
What will happen if we change the password on our home computer? Will the public computer be prompted to re-login with the new password, and therefore won't be able to?
Help please

hI,
Yes change the Password and they will not be able to login.
That is change the Password at the server you are using.
Either AIM itself for AIM name or iForgot for @MAC.com or MobilMe names
Login to your Google account and change the password there in your Account Settings
With any other Jabber Account you will have to use the third Party app you used to get the accounst Name set up.
Then Change it in iChat.

[OBSOLET]Automatically logging in different sessions in KDM via kdmctl

I recently found comfort in KDE, so I try to use KDM on my mediacenter to manage both, a KDE session, as well as an XBMC session.
What I want to do: Log in as $USER on two different sessions, one with XBMC and one with the KDE desktop automatically on boot without the need to provide a password.
After playing a bit with the control center, I came as far as automatically logging in a user and/or allowing a user a passwordless login. This is a good first step. I cannot, however, find a way to define the session it should use, the control center setting for auto login will always use the default session (which is the last session I manually logged in to). There is no way to configure multiple sessions at once in the controlcenter.
So I looked for cli tools and discovered kdmctl. It has a number of features, for example will "kdmctl activate :1" jump to the display :1. Another step closer to my goal is "kdmctl reserve", which opens a new login prompt on the next free $DISPLAY. Now it seems like kdmctl is very session-sensitive. I need root access to call it from a tty, while a normal user is sufficient inside a KDM managed X session. Calling kdmctl in a tty will give me more options, than calling it in X, even with sudo. Upon "# kdmctl" in a tty, I can see resume, manage and login options, which are not there in a KDE session.
What I have so far:
1. I can use the KDE control center to log in a user automatically on :0, but I cannot specify the session (Plasma, XBMC, etc.).
2. I can run "# kdmctl reserve" to create a new login prompt at :1
3. I can login to :1 by issuing "# kdmctl login :1 now USERNAME PASSWORD", but only from a tty (which would be sufficient, as I intend to write a systemd unit).
What I cannot do:
1. I cannot specify the session. I have found http://docs.kde.org/stable/de/kde-works … opics.html, but it is not really helpful. It says I need "[session_arguments]" in the "format of printf specified .dmrc". I assume this is how I could specify my session, but I cannot find any documentation. Maybe I'm using the wrong keywords. There is neither a man page for kdmrc nor for dmrc. This is what I'd like to have some help with.
EDIT: It's not actually solved but has become obsolete. KDE4 is fading away and, according to the wiki, KDE5/plasma5 prefers SDDM. Besides that, I stopped using KDE, stopped switching sessions, stopped working on this a long time ago.

Automatically log back in for a given period of time

I just started to work on web and have the following issue:
We want some (mobile) users to be able to automatically log back in for a given period of time. It is not difficult to set cookie (valid user information without clear text) on the mobile device. For now the question is how we can log in using this cookie info.
Web application uses "j_security_check", "j_security_check" checks the user/password.
Question is how we can autologin using cookie information. Thanks guys!

it is not problem to check cookie on exists and valid. Problem is 'where' where can I do it using 'j_security_check'

Hi theirmimi,
Go to Manage your Apple ID (on a computer) and sign in with your Apple ID. Then you can edit the email information on your account:

I have set up two users, one for myself and one for children. The computer automatically logs in for the children with no password required. When the children go to spotlight and type in a search criteria all of my files show up. How do I prevent this?

Log in to your account, and move all your files to your home folder. No other users should be able to access them there and they won't show up with a Spotlight search.
Make sure your kids' account(s) do not have admin privileges.

I don't want to be logged into game center, but it automatically logs me in every time I log out. How do I stop that from happening?

I am trying to disable my game center, but every time I log out of game center, it automatically logs me back in. How do I prevent this from happening?

System Preferences - Mail, Contacts and Calendars - delete the Facebook account you see there, and/or add your own account.

How do I reset the automatic log-in?

Originally my MacBook would remain on-line until I decided to log off. Now it automatically logs off after a short period of time (~15 minutes) and I need to log on again to get the Internet up and running. This is messing up my downloading as some files require over an hour to download and I do not want to babysit the computer to keep it logged on. What have I done and can I undo it?

Is the user logging out or is the internet disconnecting after 15 minutes?
If the user is logging out go to System Preferences > Security and there is an option to log-out after a specified time period inactive, uncheck that box.

Can't automatically log out of guest account

I'm setting up a computer lab of Mac Minis. I want to set them up to automatically log out after 10 minutes of no activity. I have adjusted the necessary settings in the system preferences/security settings, but it still won't completely log out of the guest account. It will get stuck at the screen which reads "If you log out, your files will be deleted". It won't go further until you choose "Delete files and log out". This completely defeats the purpose of automatically logging out. I don't trust that the users of these computers will actually log themselves out every time.
How can I change this so that this pop up screen doesn't show up but the computer just logs out?

No I haven't found a solution to this. I'm not sure what the deal is, but this seems to be an oversight of the Snow Leopard developers as far as I can tell.

Automatically Logging out of my web hosting service

I am using my web hosting service with Firefox 3.6.13 and I keep getting automatically logged out of the web hosting service. I contacted tech support for the web hosting service and they said it was a problem with the browser - cookies/settings/etc - I couldn't find any solution. I need to be able to set Firefox so I can stay logged into my web hosting indefinitely. Thank You.

Automatic log-in

hi, i have this problem with logging in automatically. basically, my computer doesn't do it. i have unchecked "disable automatic login" in the security settings of system preferences and even so, my computer still asks for my password whenever i turn it on. i also checked the login options of my account in accounts preferences and the "automatically log in as :" drop down is dimmed and so i cannot check it. i really hope you caould help me with this. thanks!

Click the lock in the lower left hand corner of system preferences and type in your administrator account password. If you have the security setting "Require administrator password to change secure settings" enabled, the secure areas of system preferences would appear dim and you wouldn't be able to click on them.

Won't automatic log-in

Have to use password log-in, can't get automatic to work.
Console log reads:
loginwindow[159] FSResolveAliasWithMountFlags returned err = -43
I'm guessing some file or alias is missing. How would I replace it.
System preferences are set to do the automatic log-in.
Have done system reinstall & Disk utilitiy permission repair. I think I'm missing something obvious but need help.
Thanks

I had this same problem on both a PBG412 and a G4, running Tiger 10.4.5 and .6
Tried permissions repairs, DiskWarrior, trashing old prefs, nothing helped.
For me, the solution was:
System Preferences>Accounts>Login Options
Check "Automatically log in as: [username]"
Then CLICK THE LOCK to prevent further changes
See if that helps

How do I stop Mail from automatically logging onto my email provider

Prior to Mtn Lion, anytime Mail started it would prompt me for the password to log onto my email provider. If I didn't want to check for new email I would cancel out. That's no longer the case. If I log onto a wi-fi connection, Mail automatically logs into my email provider and downloads new items. The prompt for a password no longer appears. I've gone into my Mail account and removed the password but that didn't help; I've gone into keychain and checked for the existence of items for Mail and found none; and I've gone into Mail preferences to the Advanced tab and removed the check mark on "include when automatically checking for new messages." I'm still getting new messages. Once I log into my email provider, I don't mind the automatic send/receive from happening. However, when I'm on an untrusted system, I would prefer to control the activity. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your help.
Before shifting to manual updates I'd probably prevent Mail app from starting automatically and leave it down until I'm ready for mail activity. Once I logon I don't mind the periodic updates. However, I should be able to work offline. This was the case when Notes and ToDo's were part of the Mail environment.

Automatic log-out after 20 minutes working in a layout

Hello
We have an automatic log-out of the layout after 20 minutes of work. The time out is set up at 58 minutes. Does anyone know of a paramater in a 3.0B that would trigger this log-out ? Something separate from the main time-out ?
Regards
Fabrice

It is not different from main time-out as per my understanding.
As step 1, pls check your patch level to SEM. The current patch level is 12.
Step 2: The time-out/idle time parameters are set by the Basis consultant. Please explain to your Basis person and he/she will help you out.
Step 3: Have you checked that whether you are locked? whether your transactions take longer or longest time to excute? or hangs over? Then it may be a software bug. Please take-up with SAP OSS support.
PS: Please award suitable points if the answers provide direction and clue.

Automatically logged out from SQL tool on update queries

This is a local instance configuration issue. Our current setup has the unfortunate feature that whenever you attempt to run an "update" statement in the SQL query tool, you get automatically logged out. I was guessing that it's a permissions issue , but the DBA says it's not. Has anyone else seen this behavior and know what causes it?
thanks
