OES linux "rights" command, [Public] user and Windows woes

Hey all,
I've been trying to figure out a solution for this, and although I thought I figured it out, it ends up I can't seem to figure it out. Hear me out.
We run an automated ZCM imaging system, and part of that is the ability to have any user authenticate on successful image using the Novell client. Once this is done, the first login should start installing a series of bundles/applications.
As MS Office 2010 is a rather large install, I keep the files/folders stored on a NSS volume, aptly named:
//oesserver/media/nss/APPS/MICROSOFT/MS Office 2010 SP2 - Admin Install
I would like ALL users to have access to this directory but since we run on a weird container layout, and our licensing permits for a rather large number of installs, I wanted to give the [Public] user read+filescan rights to each server's /media/nss/APPS/MICROSOFT/MS Office 2010 SP2/ directory, so regardless of where you are mapping with any user, that user would then have access to said folder.
If I use either the iManager plugin or directly using the Novell client method of applying [Public] as a trustee, it works, and the client can see the folder.
I have over 30 servers that each have the identical path, so in my sleuthing I found the OES command to perform: rights
So I performed the following command:
rights -f "/media/nss/APPS/MICROSOFT/MS Office 2010 SP2 - Admin Install" -r rf trustee [Public]
If I then show the results, there are successful:
rights show
The problem, however, is that within Windows, from any login, when I right-click the folder and check the trustees, I do not see that user in the list, and in return, that user has no access to the directory.
If I then run my command to remove the rights from the OES server:
rights -f /media/nss/APPS/MICROSOFT/MS\ Office\ 2010\ SP2\ -\ Admin\ Install/ -r none delete [Public]
And then run a "rights show" again, the Public user is removed correctly.
What I can't seem to figure out is why the command will allow me to set trustee rights to [Public], that "rights show" will validate that the rights are currently assigned, but from a Windows perspective I have no access to that directory.
I have done a "rights show" on the drive when assigning the rights from the Novell client and/or iManager, and there is NO difference in how "rights show" see the [Public] user listed.
Has anyone else ever seen this?
If I specify a user in my tree, it works correctly on both ends.
rights -f "/media/nss/APPS/MICROSOFT/MS Office 2010 SP2 - Admin Install" -r rf trustee username.ou.o.tree_name
rights show will then show me the appropriate trustee, and the user can see the path in Windows.
This restriction seems limited to the [Public] user, but I have no idea how to do this properly.
I'd like to avoid doing it by hand, because I want the ability to script all my changes and remotely and efficiently.
Any advice?
Thanks!

Are you thinking of TID 7014932? That's an issue with OES11 SP2 which is
fixed by installing the April 2014 OES11SP2 Hot Patch for NCL.

Single patron for Mac, Linux (still with seperate swap), and Windows 7...

Ok, because I have a small SSD and space is getting wasted by 4 patrons on my disk, does somebody know how to consolidate the meat of the OSs onto one patron (prob. NTFS since all can read/write).

Thats great I did install Wubi in the end and didnt realise I had the option of choosing which OS to boot into. This is exactly what I wanted to achieve. Thanks

Public Users - Minimize / Close Portlet

Is it possible to set up portlets to allow public users (users that will not log in) the ability to minimize and/or close portlet windows? The functionality works as expected for users that log into the system. I've attempted to grant access as the various levels (page, page group, etc.), but still the minimize/close images do not appear on the portlets when public users are viewing the page(s). I've also change the "Display Page to Public Users" and "Enable Item Level Security" without success.
Thanks in advance for any help provided on this topic.

Minimize/Close actions for is not possible for users who are not authenticated. These actions on portlets is treated as a personalization for a user. So without an user being logged in (i.e., the public user), it is not possible to minimize/close the portlet.
I will investigate this more and come back to you with suggestions if any.

Problem running on demand process as public user

hello
I have an on demand PL-SQL process that returns data to populate a select list on the page with optional values. This process is called with an event call on a date item. When authenticated, it returns properly and when called as a public user it fails with this in the XML return:
XML Parsing Error: no element found Location: moz-nullprincipal:{1edfa653-8146-43f8-8ea9-a26d3e29cf8a} Line Number 1, Column 1:

How do I set the default welcome page for PUBLIC user

gurus,
i'm using -
Oracle 9i Database
Oracle 9ias Portal Release 2
QUESTION => how do I set the default welcome page for the PUBLIC user.
i did the following to achieve this -
1. logged into portal
2. clicked on builder
3. clicked on administer tab
4. selected PUBLIC user in the Portal User Profile portlet
5. went to the preferences tab
6. in the default home page selected a custom page group
7. logged out of portal
8. open a new browsere session
9. type the portal URL and i get the login page ....??
i'm unable to understand this behavior ... shouldn't i be getting the page group that i set for the PUBLIC user in step 6 above ....
the second QUESTION is => when the user logs out he/she should see the PUBLIC page set in step 6 above ... but, instead the user sees a page that is as follows -
Partner Application Name Logout Status [Logout Status]
Oracle Portal (portal) logout status
The SSO Server (orasso) checkmark
buzz.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
infrastructure.happy.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal1.buzz.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal2.sylvester.resva.trw.com checkmark
sylvester.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
so, how can i set the default page for the PUBLIC user and also a page when he user logs out.
ideas anyone ....?
thanx a bunch.
hero

Hi,
The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
Hope it clarifies the things.

Ved

Can i setup a secure reverse proxy using sun one web proxy server and windows 2000?

I've tried this on IPlanet Proxy 3.6 and, after reading the documentation, realized that SSL is not supported on the Windows platform. So I'm asking if it is supported using Sun One Web Proxy Server

Hi,
Yes, What you say is right.
"The NT and Windows 2000 versions of iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6 do not support SSL".
Sun One Web Proxy Server is as same as iPlanet webproxy server.
May be in future relase of proxy server SSL will be supported in Win2000.

Windows XP and OES Linux

We are running a NetWare 5.1, 6.0, 6.5, OES 6.5 and now OES Linux shop. I
have just built and installed the OES Linux server into a new tree until I
can figure it out. Our workstations are all Windows 2000 and XP SP2 with
Novell Client 32 4.91.
Being that I'm new to Linux, how do our users connect to the server? If you
could point me to a tid, that would be great!
Thanks.

I am confused with your comments. If you have a user running Windows XP
with the 4.91 windows client, he will have a login popup. The Login window
will ask for the username and password. If you hit the advanced button, it
will show you the tree, context, and server fields. Currently you will
have your tree, context and server from your previous login populated. If
you want to log into the OES Linux server, you can change the server field
to point to the OES Linux server's IP or server name. There is nothing
different when accessing the NSS volumes on a OES Linux from a windows
workstation.

How To Change Default Expiration Date for Portal User in Linux and Windows?

Hello,
I have a couple of environments I recently installed:
1. Oracle Application Server 10 Release 2 (10.1.2) SEOne on Windows
2. Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) Enterprise Edition on Linux
I heard the portal and orcladmin user passwords will expire in about 60 days. I want to prevent this from happening. How can I set the expiration date to never expire for both these users? Or at least give me some warning?
I heard that you can do this through the Oracle Directory Manager. However, I am unsure as which server to enter on the field. I've used the following:
<servername>.hostname.com/389
<DBname>.hostname.com/389
They say 389 is the default port. Since I did not really
Does anyone have any ideas?

You have the answer in yours hands:
Search for "60 days" in the forum
How can I enfore Password Expiry Without Lockout?
for instance.
For the servername, it's the name of your server and the port is depending of your platform (have a look to $ORACLE_HOME_INFRA/install/portlist.ini) and
chech the value for: Oracle Internet Directory port

Tutorial - How to triple boot OSX, Linux and Windows 8.1 with a shared Data Partition without any third party Win / OSX softwares

This is not a question, but rather a personal guide that has proved to be running successfully.
I would like to thank numerous sources, including Christopher Murphy's suggestions at:
Re: Repairing Boot Camp after creating new partition
Before proceeding, there are certain concepts needs to know:
Why Boot Camp does NOT allow further partitioning of drives after Windows has installed?
Answer: Because the way Apple configures the Mac to be recognized as non UEFI capable system on Windows.
Quote from Christopher Murphy based on the above line:
However, Windows on Macs right now use CSM-BIOS mode in Mac firmware that presents BIOS to Windows rather than EFI. Windows thinks it's on a BIOS computer, and therefore mandates the use of MBR for boot disks, rather than GPT. So that's why we have this hybrid MBR+GPT approach on Mac with Windows on it. You inherit the limitations of MBR, which is four primary partitions.
So what does it means?
It means that OSX + EFI + Recovery HD + Boot Camp partition = 4 primary partitions and thus any attempt to modify the disk will render booting issues of either system.
For more info on GPT (GUID Partition Table disks VS Master Boot Record or MBR in short, you may visit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn640535%28v=vs.85%29.a spx)
So, how to overcome it?
The general guideline is to install ALL GPT ready OS first then create a Data partition, before installing Windows (Which is again, NOT supported GPT due to EFI configuration by Apple where end-users are not able to modify it).
Interestingly, since Mac Pro 2013 Late supports only Windows 8 and above, thus it is not known if this CSM-BIOS applies to it or not.
Do take note that GPT disks in Windows can only be booted when the system meets the 2 requirements:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn640535%28v=vs.85%29.a spx#gpt_faq_win7_boot
1) Windows x64 version (Which is a must for newer Macs. If you cannot go to Boot Camp 5, then you need Windows 7 x86 or 32bit version)
2) UEFI system. However, Windows sees all Macs (With the possibility of Mac Pro 2013 Late is an exception. To be determined) as BIOS, or rather NON-UEFI system.
In short, booting on GPT disks is not possible for Mac in Windows.
Summary,
It is tested that a combination of the following will not work:
- OSX + Windows + Linux
- Windows + OSX + Linux
- Windows + Linux + OSX
Usually it can create the system un-bootable or OSX refused to install due to the system does not recognize such partitions and / or Disk Utility refused to format a free space. An example screen-shot is provided below:
The error message is shown as
Title: "Failed to erase volume" Message: "Failed to wipe volume, as an error occurred: MediaKit has reported that the device does not have enough free space to execute the requested operations."
The second thing is about the preparations we need.
1) 1X Windows 7 or 8 DVD or USB thumbdrive
1A) If you uses a DVD to install, you will need another thumbdrive to load the BootCamp drivers for Windows as well as may requires an external DVD drive for newer Macs
2) 1X Linux DVD of your choice. Personally I choose Fedora 20.
So ready? Let's go.
1. Using Disk Utility, shrink the OSX's partition size to what is needed. For me, I give OSX 150GB. Do NOT create any new partition.
Disk Utility should see something like below whereby only OSX partition is left with desired disk space. The remaining space are to be unused disk space for the moment.
Note: Click on the top most item that should start with the size of your HDD / SSD. Then clicked on "Partition" and specify the desired OSX size. Hit "Apply" after that.
2: Download Boot Camp drivers only via Boot Camp Assistant. The USB thumbdrive shall be used later after Linux's installation.
Boot Camp Assistant should see this:
I have only selected "Download latest Windows Support Files from Apple"
3. Insert Linux DVD, reboot Mac into EFI mode (The left most first "EFI mode").
Note 1: Before rebooting, please plugged in an Ethernet adapter because Wi-Fi drivers is not installed.
Note 2: For Thunderbolt adapters, it must be plugged in before reboot as hot-swapping is not supported under Linux. More on the tips at the end of this article.
Note 3: Press and hold "Option" after the screen turns black. Release Option key after you see the image as below:

For the unfortunate part that did not make it on time to edit the images:
9. Install the Windows Support software from your CD/USB drive to gain full functionality of your computer. Reboot and go to Windows again.
Note 1: You may choose to eject disc at this point of time. For Apple SuperDrive users, you will need to wait until the drivers (i.e. Boot Camp support files) is installed and rebooted before ejecting is reasonably possible (As I failed to figured out how to right click without the drivers)
Note 2: Unlike Windows 7 on KBase article TS4599 Keyboard/trackpad inoperative, black screen, or alert messages when installing Windows 7, USB stick can be plugged in after the Windows installation is done. This is because Windows 7 (And probably Windows 7 with SP1 DVD) does not have a built in USB 3 drivers when it was released back in 2009 where USB3 has not arrived then.
Note 3: Due to TPM, Bitlocker is not supported without the use of thumbdrives.
10. Using Disk Management to determine the given drive letter for the DATA partition (DO NOT DELETE and RECREATE partition or else you can goodbye to booting Linux and OSX). Disk Management will not allow you to format it as exFAT / FAT32 in graphical way.
Note: You may remove or modify some of the disk letters in Disk Management. However, do NOT remove / modfify the drive letter for the partition with 200MB size in HFS. This is because it will disallow booting of Linux and neither could Windows nor OSX can do anything EXCEPT to reinstall Linux only.
11. Open Command Prompt in Administrator Mode (Important!!), and key in the following command:
format F: /FS:exFAT
Give this volume a label after it has successfully formatted before hitting "Enter" again.
Note: Mine Data partition was assigned as F drive. Please make necessary adjustment to "F:" should your Data partition is assigned to other letters.
12. After that, Setup your Data partition structure as you like.
Tip: Minimally create the important folders such as:
- Music
- Documents
- Movie (Videos)
- Downloads
- Pictures
All these folders are commonly used by the 3 OSes. I do NOT recommend changing of /home (OSX and / or Linux) and / or user home directory (Windows) either partially or as a whole.
This is because of compatibility issue.
On a side note, iTunes Media Library used in OSX and Windows are NOT able to be use interchangably due to hard-coded path used.
13. Useful troubleshooting in Fedora / Linux:
With references to these:
http://chaidarun.com/fedora-mbp
http://anderson.the-silvas.com/2014/02/14/fedora-20-on-a-macbook-pro-13-late-201 3-retina-display/
http://unencumberedbyfacts.com/2013/08/16/linux-on-a-macbook-pro-101/
I would like to highlight a few important points:
1) Wi-Fi driver:
http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
Note 1: The sound driver should be installed at Out of Box Experience. However, the Wi-Fi is not.
Note 2: Install both free and non-free repository. By the way, some other software like VLC can only be found after the Free Repository is installed.
Search for "akmod-wl" in Gnome-Package-Installer in order to install Wi-Fi drivers
Note 3: For those who do not have Ethernet adapters and their Mac does NOT have a built-in Ethernet port, it is recommended to get one. This is because Fedora 20 does not have a good support for iPhone USB tethering. Unsure for Andriod / Blackberry / Windows Phone users.
2) Grub Menu:
It will show several options to boot into OSX, even of the capability to boot into x86 or x64 mode. However, neither of them is bootable except Linux and the rescue.
Hence, it is recommended to remove the items by hand in this file:
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
Command to be used:
"sudo gedit /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg"
Parts to be removed:
- For any extra kernels, delete the target entry by locating the line "menuentry" under "/etc/grub.d/10_linux" sector to one line above the next "menuentry".
It is recommended to keep one main kernel, and one recovery at the minimal.
- For other OS, delete all the entry (Since neither it can works) under "/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober" sector without removing the lines starts with ###.
Auto Mount exFAT partition:
- After installing extra packages for exFAT support (Since it is not supported by Fedora 20 from a default installation), you may wish to edit "/etc/fstab" in order to mount the exFAT partition during boot time.
Command to be used:
"sudo gedit /etc/fstab"
Add the following line in gedit:
UUID=702D-912D /run/media/Samuel/DATA exfat defaults 1 2
Note 1: For DATA partition, OSX & Boot Camp partition, Fedora defaults mounts under: "/run/medua/<Username with case sensitive>/<Partition Label Name>"
Note 2: UUID is unique ID. You can find out the UUID by:
Step 1: First determine the DATA partition number:
"sudo gdisk /dev/sda"
Step 2: Determine the UUID of this partition number:
"sudo blkid /dev/sda8"
Reference 1: http://manpages.courier-mta.org/htmlman5/fstab.5.html
Reference 2: http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2007/10/15/short-tip-get-uuid-of-hard-disks/
3) Overheating CPU
Solution is to issue the following command in Linux terminal: su -c "echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo"
4) System resumes immediately after suspend
Solution is to issue the following command in Linux terminal: su -c "echo XHC1 > /proc/acpi/wakeup"
5) What does not works well out of box:
- Both GNOME and KDE's fonts are too small to be readable for out of box experience. Additional configuration is a need. (Some of the info can be found on "More Tips" later)
- Thunderbolt hotplugging is NOT supported under Windows and Linux so far. Neither FaceTime HD camera works as well.
- The red light in Headphone jack is always on. I do not have luck in switching off the light without losing the sound.
Note 1: It is determined that the module "snd_hda_intel" is used by both cards (HDMI and normal output)
Note 2: It is also known that blacklisting it can switch off the redlight at the price of muting the system.
Note: Based on this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1574
A Mac (Except Mac Pro) needs servicing when there is a red light while the system fails to detect internal speakers. However, this article does NOT applies to this issue.
5A) More Tips:
Install gnome-tweak-tool for more customization
Search for: "gnome-package" to install:
Install Gnome Package Installer for advanced package repository
Install Gnome Package Updater for advanced updates to be install (Whereby Fedora's App Store alike might not show the relevant updates)
14. Verify if disk is still GPT:
Use Gdisk to determine if the disk is pure GPT:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742682
Command: sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda (The entire hard drive)
You should see the MBR is "Protective" instead of anything else.
15. Congrats, the system is ready for triple boot. (I forgot to eject my Windows DVD when the photo was taken)
Note 1: You cannot set the default startup disk in Linux due to the lack of Boot Camp Control Panel in Linux.
Neither is changing startup disk recommended in Windows due to the inability to display correctly.
For me, I click "Cancel" whenever I am on this tab (Feel free to make other Boot Camp adjustments in other tabs).
Only OSX I know that can show the startup disk options correctly.
Note 2: For some reason, OSX likes to auto mount the EFI partition everytime it boots up. It is not known to have any issue for ejecting other disks or mounting disks via Disk Utility.
Note 3: It is not determined if any Firmware or System upgrades will cause issues. It is only known that all 3 OS's regular updates should not be an issue.
System Updates excludes Mac OSX 10.9.3 updates to OSX 10.9.4 type as I had done it on a OSX 10.9.4 Mac or Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Update 1 since my Windows DVD comes with Update 1.
System Upgrades refers to OSX Mavericks to Yosemite, Fedora 20 to Fedora 21, Windows 8.1 Update 1 to Windows 8.2 / Windows 9 for that matter.
Note 4: Reset SMC and / or PRAM will NOT affect your ability to boot any of the OS (OSX, Recovery HD, Fedora & Windows 8)
Yup, that is it!

WINDOWS 8.1 - System Tools no longer displaying User and Group Settings after adding a new LOCAL user.

I jumped on my parents computer, which is on a domain. I added a new local user(with my live.com login) and gave it admin status. That's when the trouble began.
The main user profile disappeared. I used the command prompt fix (see other fixes) to add the missing user back into admin. I logged back in, and it set up the account for the first time (WTF?). I cannot access any files from the main account
(that I logged into just fine before to get this debacle started.)
When going to Local Computer Management --> System Tools, my users and groups tool is missing.
I ran lusrmgr.msc only to find out that the most current version of Windows 8.1 and this is what it said "This snapin may not be used with this edition of Windows 8.1. To manage user accounts for this computer, use the User Accounts tool in the
Control Panel." <---- Awesome! (that was sarcasm.)
I have spent over two hours in the User Account tool during the course of this problem only to prove that a picture of a computer is more useful that that "tool".
To anyone reading this ticket, the best advice I can offer you (as long as its not a crucial machine) is to back up what you can gain access to, format your hard-drive and reinstall windows and start over again. I wouldn't recommend reinstalling 8.1,
I would say go back to 7 and wait until 10 comes out. Windows 8 is the new Vista. Good luck!

Hello AhavahOlam,
I can understand your feelings.
If my understanding is right, after adding a new local user in domain-joined Windows 8.1, you can’t open the local users and groups.
Can you still add account by going to Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts\Manage Accounts?
As this computer is domain-based, it is recommended to contact the domain administrator to see if the option is blocked.

Get input from user and create a file and run a script in command line.

Hi all,
i'm trying to get a input from user and write it into a file named alpe.jacl
To get multiple userinputs like address and jobtitle etc etc in the same single window.
and the code will save the inputs in alpe.jacl one by one in a new line like
nameis name
address russia
jobtitle dev
So i coded like below.
Though GUI for user input looks dull Its working fine.
Now I want this code to perform one more task which is the GUI will contain one more button INSTALL with OK and CALCEL .
and when after putting all inputs and creating the alpe.jacl file if someone clicks INSTALL it should start ./install.sh script present at the same folder which contains some unix shell commands.
Here am not able to figure out how to go further...
One more thing after all the inputs given when I am clicking on the OK button its closing the window instantly which i dont want. I want it like it should wait till someone press CANCEL to exit.
Please some one help me.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.io.*;
public class file
public static void main(String []args)throws IOException
FileWriter ryt=new FileWriter("alpe.jacl");
BufferedWriter out=new BufferedWriter(ryt);
JTextField wsName = new JTextField();
JTextField sName = new JTextField();
JTextField cName = new JTextField();
Object[] message = {    "Web Server Name:", wsName,"Server Name:", sName,"Cluster Name:", cName};
int answer = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(    null, message, "Enter values", JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
if (answer == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION){    String webserver = wsName.getText();
String server = sName.getText();
String cluster = cName.getText();
out.write("set webservername " +wsName.getText()+"\n");
out.write("set ClusterName " +cName.getText()+"\n");
out.write("set ServerName " +sName.getText()+"\n");
out.close();
}}Thanks,
Ricky

Thanks a lot.
Is there any way through which i can assign a scroll bar to my panel.
As when the number of user inputs grows the GUI becomes more bulky and some of the fields are not showing up.
Cheers

Crating user and his rights

Hi I am pretty new to arch. Would like to know, how to create my user with same rights as root ( or with simmilar rights if that is possible ).
Next don't know what chroot means and don't know what ~/... means what directory is that? ep ~/xinitrc where I find this???
I'm not stupid but I started with ArchLinux as my first Linux distro so I need to explain some things I don't understand, but can't find any manual about commands to use (which command does what and so on).
Please help, would like to use arch but beginnings are hard to me.
Sorry for my english, I'm from Czech Republic.
