Need advice in user log in

hi
i am trying to develop a calss to store username and password strings to a file then retrieve them to check if the entered values are mathched.
i have think about tokenizer but i dont know how to retrieve them as a pair because they are not stored as a pair.
what is the best way to do it?

i do know that hashtable can hold it but this is not permenant . the information will gone when you exit.I know that. Still you need some data structure to hold this information while the program is running. A HashMap would work well for this, and would have nothing to do with how the data is stored. The other option is of course a database.
i am looking to store them to a file so i can retreive them even if i restart the program . now the problem is that i dont know how to retrieve the right pair of username and password from a file.Then you have several options here: database, XML file, comma-delimited file or text file with user name and password on same line for instance. .... or I wonder if you could use a HashMap and just serialize the map? I'm not sure if that would work, but hopefully a java guru will give you a better answer.

    Hi,
    You could use Audit Logs:

    You specify the activities that you want to log in filters using the transaction SM19. You can read the log using the transaction SM20. You can delete old logs with the transaction SM18.

    The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able toauthorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

  • 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
    Newton Mar
    17 at 16:21   
    @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
    C Mar
    17 at 16:28
    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
    NewtonMar
    17 at 16:35   
    @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
    C Mar
    17 at 16:51
    Ah. Yes. I see. Looks like the LPT thing should work even with a USB connected printer:superuser.com/questions/182655/… –  James

  • Syncing iPod to new user account-need advice

    Hey All! I set up a new user account for my friend on my imac, so he will want to sync his iPod Touch to iTunes, iPhoto, iCal, etc. in his new user account. I know there are plenty of freeware and shareware apps to get his music from the iPod into iTunes, but need advice concerning everything else oh his iPod.
    I know I'll first get that pop up window that says his iPod is synced to another computer, and that I use "cancel" rather than "sync and erase". After doing that, I guess I use one of the shareware apps to get the music transferred over.
    Now, after that, if I do a regular sync, will iTunes transfer his apps that are on the iPod?
    Do I need to open iPhoto and download the photos on his iPod into iPhotot before doing a sync?
    What about text messages? Will they remain in tact?
    I don't think he uses the calendar on his iPod so no worries there....
    What about Playlists that he has on the iPod? Will just the music transfer with the shareware apps or playlists also?
    Will Notes be saved?
    Thanks for your help. Don't wanna screw up his iPod by setting up this user account for him.

    Apps are tied to the ID I assume the new account is just on the iMac and not a new iTunes account?
    Yes, you can import photos into iPhoto the same as you would off any camera.
    You would need to transfer purchased content (like apps). You can't do that via sync as it's a new computer and all content will be erased as you are aware.

  • HELP: New to Mavericks. Need advice on setting up secure user accounts

    Hi,
    I need advice on how to best set up user accounts on Mavericks.
    I must set up an Administrative account...Any suggestion for best settings here to protect against targeted malicious exploits?
    I would also like to set up two user accounts for everyday work with applications and Internet browsing done in such a way that the machine would be protected from malicious attacks but with a minimum of inconvience for the users ( myself and my wife ).
    Thanks

    Hi hassiman, any exploits will come in the form of users downloading suspect pieces of software like browser add-ons and extensions, device drivers and non-trusted apps.
    Make sure that you do not use the admin account for any day to day use
    Create two normal user accounts, one for each of you and use them day to day
    When using the admin account to set up your system, pay very careful attention to the System Preferences > Privacy & Security area. There are various things to set up properly here:
    There are three settings for how people can download software, 1) From Mac App Store only, 2) From App Store and registered developers and 3) from anyone. It defaults to 2) but check it and if you feel uncomfortable with that, set it to 1). This might prevent you from downloading and installing software you think you might need; but think carefully about wether you really need it and therefore wether you should temporarily allow it via a lower setting.
    For the firewall, if you dont have a firewalled internet gateway device (a wireless router or similar), make sure the firewall is turned on. Most internet connection equipment does have such a firewall; make sure it is blocking any incoming connections by using its admin tool (usually a web browser interface). Consult its documentation for details.
    Whenever OS X asks for a password to complete a task of any kind, look carefully at what is making it ask and if you aren't sure, don't go through with it; it is usually wanting the admin account name and ppassword to complete some kind of system modification (install, config etc.).
    Make sure that you are both aware of the danger of installing any software that wants to add itself to your system or web browser. Things like custom search bars, extensions etc. If you are viewing a web page and it says you need "x" to see it or use it properly, make sure you really need to use that web site; otherwise don't do it.
    It really all comes down to common sense; the worst security breaches and damage come from users who don't know what to do, but they still click "OK" when they should be clicking "cancel" or "close". Make sure you and your wife are fully aware that responsibility lies with yourselves. It is better to take a minute to decide wether to install something (even if it's 20 times a week) than spend days fixing a compromised system.

  • New user of G4 - need advice on selection of printer, DV and digital camera

    I am a recent convert to mac and need advice from experts on the following:
    I plan to use my G4 MDD primarily for home computing, experimenting with digital photography, create DVDs and explore multimedia primarily as a hobby. Please advice me on selection of a decent digital camera and or a DV camera. I am not sure if I have a decent DV camera - whether this will be good enough for still photos as well. My G4 has firewire ports.
    Also I am interested in buying a printer that I can use with my mac as well as connect to a two other windows systems. My printing needs are primarily documents and maybe photos.. I think that going in for a laser printer makes sense in terms of reliability .
    I am not looking for the highend equipment - willing to spend upto 750 $ on all items. Thanks in advance.

    raja,
    welcome to discussions.
    Digital Camera, DV camera and colour Laser Printer all for $750 ??
    I'm afraid you'll have to go for an inkjet printer if you want colour photos. Expensive doesn't even begin to describe Colour Laser Printers. HP make good printers, but tend to be a bit more expensive to run, Epson make excellent photo printers, are are a bit more economical to run, take a look at the iP4000 and iP5000. I still use my old HP DeskJet 1200 (does A3), and a DeskJet 970Cxi (everyday), both use the same cartidges. These are about 7 years old, there are modern versions retailing now at about half of what I paid for these then(always the case).
    Digital cameras can be decided by what purpose you intend to use them for. I have an 18 month old Nikon D100 digital SLR. 6M pixel (which was a lot then) but that might not matter, it takes Nikon lenses (and other manufacturer lenses to the same spec), so I can shoot with a 300mm, 400mm, 600mm lens. Nikon has a D50 out now, a cheaper, newer version of my camera. I can print A3 photo real from 6M pixels and with the right lens I don't need to crop my pictures too much. If you want to print photo real A4 (and that's a LOT of ink) a 3-4M pixel camera would be fine. Most cameras now are 5-8 M pixel, this is because the pictures they take have to be cropped drastically because they have an inadequate lens. On top of that my Nikon takes really great pictures, better than any of my other digi cameras (but not as good as my ancient Olympus 35mm muji-zoom compact with 200 film).
    So if you're going to take a lot of close ups in well lit areas, product shots, interior shots with flash, ie. "snaps" rather than photography, any cheap digi camera will do. Good points are
    - USB / Firewire connectivity,
    - non-proprietry battery technology, ie. it uses 4 x recharable AAs instead of a battery that only fits that camera, and it comes with a AA recharger.
    - non-proprietry storage technology, ie. it uses Compact Flash or some other that is used by a large portion of cameras, rather than just be that manufacturer.
    - digital zoom is worthless.
    If you're doing outdoor photography, wildlife, landscapes, etc, you may want something with a changeable lens and SLR technology, a digital SLR. Not all digital SLR cameras have changeable lenses. Same good points as above, but be prepared to sacrifice one of the points for a good camera. Heavy cameras are easier to hold steady with a big lens, so try for a metal case (it'll be coated in plastic anyway).
    For outdoors the most important thing is the amount of light entering the camera (indoors you can control the lighting with flash / fitted lighting), digital SLRs can have enormous lenses (my 28mm hyperzoom lens has a 72mm diameter), compare this to a compact digital camera with a 12mm diameter lens, I take 36x the light of a compact. And it shows in the picture quality.
    I'm a complete duffer with DV cameras so I won't lead you astray with this, but be aware some do offer the option to take digital pictures. Indeed some digital cameras can take low quality short movies.
    Let us know if you have any more questions.

  • Entire Mac slows down every day, especially if more than one user logged in

    Mac runs fine at the start of each day (after turning it on), but slows down by evening. iPhoto is typically at a crawl at that point, and I can't have more than one user logged in at a time, or the whole system takes forever to do anything. I've restarted, repaired disk, repaired disk permissions, run Cocktail, checked for viruses (VirusBarrier). It's easy to restore normal speed with these moves, but same problem every day. I have 24 GB left on this hard drive--is that too little?
    Should I try erasing hard drive and restoring from Time Machine? Should I reload Mac OS X from discs?
    Advice much appreciated. Thanks.

    you do the math
    this will help:
    Your Mac needs adequate hard drive space to operate normally. How full can a drive be before it's too full? There is no hard and fast rule that says “X” amount or “%” of free drive space is needed. A low amount of RAM requires more drive space for Virtual Memory’s swap files.
    Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space are discussed in this link
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/lackofram.html
    Here’s some general guidelines for minimum hard drive free space:
    1. As a general rule, your available space should be 5GB as an absolute minimum as it generally requires that much free space to perform an Archive and Install of Mac OS X and still preserve some free space for VM swap files.
    2. Some say that your hard drive should have at least 5% of it's capacity available for use. Still others say 10% to 15%. If you routinely process complex graphics and videos, even more space is required.
    Look at these links about freeing up more space.

  • How to set printer margins if using a lot of printers in virtual desktops which are deleted each time users logs off

    Hello,
    i am using Firefox version 31. I have a problem with page setup margins. I need to use left
    30mm; right 10mm; top 20mm; bottom 20mm. I am using VMware floating assignemnt linked clones
    virtual desktops. After users log off - machines are deleted and users next time logs on get's brand
    new VDI's. Users gets printers to VDI using login script from Active Directory.
    Option Explicit
    Dim strPrinterUNC, objNetwork
    strPrinterUNC = "\\some_server\printer_number_1"
    Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
    objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection strPrinterUNC
    WScript.Sleep (20000)
    objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter strPrinterUNC
    Set objNetwork = Nothing
    Each user have different logon script, because they use different printers (different printer names e.g. \\some_server\printer_number_2 ; \\some_server\printer_number_3 and etc. Page setup margins in Internet Explorer are ok. But how to make Firefox page setup margins as i need? For other options i have
    used CCK2 Wizard 2.0.4 tool. It worked fine. Maybe i can put some information in C:\Program
    Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\autoconfig.js I have some usefull data in it allready. I
    have found info that: "Setting print margins is done in the printer settings". I have a lot of
    printers, so i can not set printer margins individualy for each of them. Now mozilla shows top,
    bottom, right, left each 12.7 mm. What should i do if i have a lot of printers in enterprise
    environment?

    Firefox has a profile folder that has preferences to save this. But the config that would need to be changed is:
    print. save_print_settings = True - (default): Save the print settings after each print job
    Locking that preference: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
    Or done manually:
    #In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
    #Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
    #Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
    The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
    Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

  • How to get user 'logged in' to ironport web filter without launching IE

    We have an issue with some employees who use third party programs that traverse the Internet.  These programs are 100% allowed by the organization as they are required for day to day business.  Some programs go over the Internet to communicate for certain reasons, such as a live chat help support, or ordering products, etc..
    The problem is that some of these users log in and never even touch Internet Explorer for awhile.  They will go on and start working right away.  Well if they don't try to access an Internet site via IE, then the Ironport does not 'log them in', and they are known as unauthenticated.  Of course this doesn't happen with everyone.  There's nothing wrong with people coming in a little early and checking the local news online.
    We were thinking up if it's possible to have each user 'touch' the ironport web filter in some way during a logon script, unbeknown to the end user, so that they are 'signed in' and whatever Internet connected application they launch has access through to the Internet.  Right now they need to at least launch IE and go to some site (say Google or MSN) and via NTLM credentials transparently passed through IE7, 8 or 9, they can simply close the page and go about their business.  Note: they MUST go to an external site.... not an internally hosted one (such as our Intranet, time clock or HR self service pages).
    So is there any commands we can put in via kix or bat or something that will say "Hey Ironport, %username% just logged in at 10.x.x.x".  Then maybe to make it more advanced, a logoff script that says "Hey Ironport, %username% just logged OFF of 10.x.x.x".  This way when our hourly timeout happens, they aren't immediately booted from their Internet applications (if they don't keep an IE window open that is).
    Right now our ASA Firewall uses WCCP to forward port 80 to the ironport web filter.  The Ironport is a transparent proxy.
    Thanks!

    So it looks like you are moving the authentication from the Ironport S160 to the ASA5500 series firewall?
    I guess we are looking at something simpler, like a way to 'touch' the internet and pass NTLM credentials, because then the Ironport knows who the user is.
    If the user does not 'touch' the internet with IE, and say they use some other program that does not pass NTLM credentials (say Firefox or live chat program, or an ftp program, etc...) They are likely to be blocked, because the Ironport doesn't know who they are.
    Your link seems to lead to a complicated setup for something that seems so simple.  I'm not sure how that relates to an Ironport S160.. it seems to focus on the ASA5500. Also we want it to be completely 100% transparent to the end user.
    This is how it worked with a Barracuda web filter appliance...
    A DCAgent program sat on each domain controller. As users logged in or out of the domain, this agent passed this current activity to the Barracuda web filter appliance.
    The Barracuda appliance knew exactly who was logged in because of this little program on the domain controller(s) that kept it updated. Based on this, policies could be assigned based on Active Directory group memberships. ie) HR and Marketing can access Facebook, while others cannot.
    I guess I'm looking for similar functionality with the Ironport S160. If there's any way the domain controller, or even the client PC can say "Hey Ironport, %username% is logged on here at %ip_address%". That way the Ironport would know who they are, and there would be no unnecessary authentication boxes (besides the user logging into the windows domain). They could use internet connected apps that do not pass NTLM authentication. I guess the client PC or the domain controller would also have to tell the IronPort when they signed off, just so we don't have to deal with authentication timeouts. This way, say they are in our internet chat help program... after an hour, it will cut out and disconnect them - because the IronPort forgets who they are (unless they are actively using the internet with IE).
    So for now, we just use the bypass option for the affected internet services.  The default browser is IE, so the reality is that we are not suffering any tremendous inconvienence.  It's just that we want to ensure we have the best robust solution, and we can handle these types of situations with programs other than IE accessing internet resources.
