Oracle VM Manager 3 User and groups

Hi!
Has anybody know something about howto manage users/groups in OVM3? I didn't find any information in the user's guide and there isn't such as configuration tabs or options in the web interface.
Thanks!

From what I've gathered talking to support is this:
OVM 3 is not well suited for single node implementations. You also should not mangle with the remaining space of the primary disk that has OVM Server installed on it. If one tries to do so - as I have, and exports the space as NFS for use with OVM 3 it will loop back on itself and cause errors I've reported in my post.
The only way to try such (lab) implementation is to use external NFS for server pool creation - or better yet, use external NFS for images and don't even enable clustering in server pool definition (meaning you would not use local physical disks for storage repository at all).
It's my impression Oracle put great effort into making a clustered solution that would scale very well. It's just not meant for single server implementations - which in reality make no sense anyway.
If you come across such problems, now you know. :-)

  • Manage users and groups on 10.5 client like 10.5 server?

    can anyone recommend software for managing local users and groups on 10.5 client? we only need filesharing and don't need the added expense of OS X Server.
    thanks

    oh, right. we can add users with the File Sharing pref pane and can add groups under the Accounts pref pane.
    i'm assisting a friend reconfigure a 'server' (os x client box) that was damaged.
    i'd like to create a new group and then add a handful of users to that group for filesharing. these users don't really need to access the mac for local login.
    they are using Windows Vista from the clients and the way it's set up now, if a user connects and modifies/creates a file, no one else can then modify the file. we have to run chmod on the file/directory for everyone to be able to change it. i'd like to configure it so the permissions work correctly without having to do this.

  • LDAP Users and Groups

    Hi,
    <p>
    I have configured an LDAP Authenticator for an external LDAP directory in the security realm of the samples portal. User Management is working, but when I try to access the Group Management for the LDAP Authenticator I get the following error:
    </p>
    <i>com.bea.p13n.usermgmt.hierarchy.TreeNotBuiltException: State: UNINITIALIZED. Tree is uninitialized. Add provider GAAD to list of providers to build. Tree is uninitialized. Add provider GAAD to list of providers to build.
    </i>
    <p>
    It seems that this needs to be setup. How do I do this?
    </p>
    <p>
    Some general notes on LDAP:
    </p><p>
    I think that in a production environment it is of great value to manage users and groups in a LDAP directory. For instance we have a company directory which contains all users. It seems that users from LDAP can not been added to groups which are in the DB. LDAP also has the advantage of supporting dynamic groups.
    As in previous weblogic releases the LDAP authenticator is read only. It would be great if the write functionality could be added as well. Actually managing LDAP users and groups in one place would be a tremendous improvement for us.
    </p><p>
    Another thing on my wishlist are examples for delegated administration and visitor entitlements. For the sample portal these are empty. But I think it would be nice to have some out of the box examples that show what is possible and help developers and business analysts to understand the concepts and create their own roles.
    </p><p>
    It would be interesting to read what Bea and other developer think about this.
    </p><p>
    Kind regards,

    Yes, I am using 9.2 TP.
    We are already using LDAP for user management with 8.1.
    Now, I try to configure 9.2 as well. I am running 9.2 installations on different machines. When I click on Service Administration in the Admin Portal, I get the following error message for each installation:

    Not sure if this is what you're asking, but certainly, one of the things you'd need to do is write your own PL/SQL procedure that loops through the selected rows of your UI element (whether it be a multi-select list, checkboxes or whatever) and perform the actions that you require.
    Have you attempted anything yet? What parts of this do you need help with?

  • User and Group management in ADF Application?

    Hello,
    I have successfully integrated my weblogic server with MS AD Ldap Server. I have all the users and groups from AD inside weblogic.
    Now, I would like to create an ADF application with the ability to manage identity. For example, I could navigate to a page in my ADF application containing a list of users and groups from AD, and I could for instance create a new user, remove a group or change an attribute for the user (and all these changes reflect in the LDAP server).
    Is this possible? Is there any documentation for this? I am using MS Active Directory, is there an API to integrate AD to ADF?
    Thank you!
    Joao Moreira

    Hi,
    if your LDAP server is MS Active Directory then you need to check for samples of how to access this directory server from Java. This code then would go into a managed bean to be used with the ADF application.

  • User and group management

    I just installed an evaluation version of weblogic commerce and personalization server. I understand we can create users and groups and assign users to different groups. But I am wondering who has the privilege to do this, developer or end-user? In paticular, is it possible for a super user (should be end-user) in one group to manager all other users in the same group. This feature would be especially useful for B2B portal because usually we would allow a company administrator manage all users within that company. Thanks in advance.Zhe

    Hi Steve,
    What's the plan to provide ASP support in WLPS in the future ? Is there
    any examples of WLPS that uses a 3rd party user management server (such
    as LDAP)?
    Thanks,

    We only support a single administrator for a 'realm' of users. We don't have an admin permission mechanism on a group of users basis. The feature you are looking for more fits the ASP model and not an enterprise application model.
    However, since WLPS/WLCS uses the WebLogic security realm to access users and groups, you can use a 3rd party user management tool that supports the permissions you are looking for in order to create users and groups. This would require the 3rd party user management tool to have an implementation of the WebLogic Security Realm class that works with this 3rd party user management server.

    I am trying to set up the example provided in Frank Nimphius and Duncan Mills great article about 'Declarative J2EE authentication and authorization with JAAS' (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/10g/jaassec/index.htm) on iAS 10g. My current problem is this : when I try to deploy my test application using an ear file, Enterprise Manager returns the following error message : 'Error encountered initializing users and groups using the specified user manager. User manager class oracle.sample.dbloginmodule.DBTableLM.DBTableLoginModule not found.'. This class is distributed in an archive, DBLoginModule.jar, that I have put in my IASHome/j2ee/home/applib and inside my test application /WEB-INF/lib directories. I have tried putting them in one place at a time, then both, with always the same 'class not found' error as result.
    Am I missing something ?
    Where should I put this archive for it to be seen by the server ?
    Could some mistake in web.xml, jazn-data.xml, orion-web.xml or orion-application.xml cause this error ?

  • Subject area security validating users and groups from external table

    Hi all.
    I don't have practice to put question here, but there is one problem, that seems don't work correctly in OBIEE.
    I'm trying to put users in groups within external table and this works fine.
    I put security on the subject area level like this:
    SA1 -> GroupA allow, Everyone not allow
    SA2 -> GroupB allow, Everyone not allow
    External table:
    User----------Group
    A---------GroupA;GroupB
    B---------GroupB
    Users A, B and GroupA, GroupB exists in the RPD, but I didn't put users inside them, I want this from table.
    From the init block, external table I'm taking users and join them in the group. Same name users and groups are also in the presentation service.
    When i connect with user A i don't see any subject area, when go to My Account i see in Group Membership/GroupA and GroupB, so it's readed from the external table.
    Why in this case the subject area permission is not working?
    It works if I explicitly put users in groups, in the RPD.
    I have read this blog entry http://kpipartners.blogspot.com/2009/07/groups-webgroups-and-delivers.html and it is said that this works, but I'm interested how.
    What should we have in the presentation part, administration, Manage Privileges -> Access within Oracle BI Answers option for those two subject area?
    This doesn't work or something is missing:

    What should we have in the presentation part, administration, Manage Privileges -> Access within Oracle BI Answers option for those two subject area?Yes, you should remove Everyone and add the relevant groups to each Subject Area. You don't need to set privileges in the RPD, in fact that's probably why it doesn't work for you. Leave your RPD Presentation Catalog as "Everyone" = Read as you will controlling access from the Presentation Services and it should work.

  • Browsing users and groups on WebLogic 11g

    I'm having a following "problem". I'm trying to programmatically list out all the users and groups that are currently on WebLogic. I need this because I'm building an SOA application that manages tasks for each user. Is there an API that adresses this problem?

  • OBIEE+ Where do I assign user and group mappings to the repository objects?

    Hi
    I'm using the Oracle BI Administration Tool and I'm creating users and groups. Where do I map my users and groups to the repository objects?.
    Regards,
    Néstor Boscán

    Hi,
    I was reading your reply for this post. Could you please tell me in which tool you set the User security. I couldn't find Repository Admin in BI Administration tool.
    Repository Admin > Manage > Security.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Webcenter spaces user and group and WLS security realm

    I want to configure external ORACLE DB,
    I configed the security realm in WLS, and I can see the user and group list in WLS page, But I cant find any of them in webcenter spaces,
    and also can not login with those users.
    I added a user with WLS, it works well.
    do I need to do other configrations?

    First you need to create a Administrator for this new identity stores. Weblogic user is not identified now because its not mapped by first authenticator. See Oracle WebCenter Admin Guide, section 28.4.1.1 Granting the WebCenter Spaces Administrator Role Using FusionMiddleware Control. Once you have done this step, do the same steps for other application user. For this you have to give Application role to other user so that they can login and use WebCenter Space.See Oracle WebCenter Admin Guide, Section 28.4.2.1 Granting Application Roles Using Fusion Middleware Control.
    After doing above steps, restart WC_Spaces managed server.

  • How to change default /Users and /Groups to different Volume?

    Users are created in /Volumes/<boot>/Users and groups in /Volumes/<boot>/Groups.
    We need these to be created on a different volume, eg., /Volumes/External/Users, and /Volumes/External/Groups.
    Setup Assistant correctly put user Backups into */Volumes/External/Shared Items/Backups* and also correctly put web services on /Volumes/External/ServiceData -- we want to do the same for Groups and Users.
    Groups are the most critical, as the group needs bulk storage. Users we could leave as is if it can't be done.
    How can this be configured? We've read File Server Admin, Open Directory Admin, and Advanced Server admin from http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html without finding an answer.
    Thanks in advance.

    1. Create new folders on the external volume to hold users and groups, but to prevent confusion name them something other than "Users" and "Groups". /Volumes/External/NetUsers and /Volumes/External/NetGroups would be reasonable choices.
    2. Share both of these folders (in Server Admin -> server name in sidebar -> File Sharing -> Volumes & Browse modes -> select each folder -> click Share near the top right).
    3. Enable both folders for automounting on clients (Server Admin -> server name in sidebar -> File Sharing -> Share Points-> select each folder -> Share Point tab under that -> Enable Automount option) with the default options (Directory: /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1, Protocol: AFP, Use for: User home folders and group folders). Be sure to click Save (not just OK in the dialog).
    4. To migrate users, run Workgroup Manager, and change the home location for the users you want to move (select Accounts in the toolbar -> /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 from the hidden pop-up menu under that -> User icon tab at the left -> select the user(s) you want to change -> Home tab on the right -> select the NetUsers option from the "Where" list). Then, for each user, run this command on the server: "sudo cp -Rp /Users/username /Volumes/External/NetUsers".
    5. Similarly, move Group folders in WGM (Accounts -> /LDAP... -> Groups icon on left -> select groups to move -> Group Folder tab on right -> NetGroups in the list). Then, for each group, run "sudo cp -Rp /Groups/groupname /Volumes/External/NetGroups".
    6. Test to make sure all is working before deleting the old user and group folders from /Users and /Groups (do NOT delete /Users and /Groups themselves, just the individual folders from under them).
