Force obiee Reload Server Metadata when every users login

hi, how to force obiee Reload Server Metadata when every users login?
because I use this method
[http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/10/29/oracle-bi-ee-101332-presentation-layer-translation/]
to do the translation.
but I found that if the server metadata is not reloaded. the presentation column names keeps previous one (language).

Not sure about what authentication and web services EBS or Siebel have, but here is what we are doing at the State of Minnesota for PeopleSoft and OBIEE single-signon (no LDAP or SSO server required).
Two web services in PeopleSoft are used for user authentication. One web service simply requires valid PeopleSoft username & password in web service request SOAP header. Second web services determines the username of the PeopleSoft PS_TOKEN cookie (cookie is hashed string which is unique to user’s current PeopleSoft browser session).
BI Presentation Server in configured for single signon to pass PS_TOKEN cookie to BI Server as :USER variable.
Users can also connect directly to BI Server using JDBC or ODBC by providing valid PeopleSoft username & password. JDBC/ODBC tool which sends PeopleSoft credentials to BI Server :USER and :PASSWORD variables.
BI Server initialization blocks execute PL/SQL functions which invoke web services using either the PS_TOKEN cookie from :USER or the PeopleSoft username & password from :USER and :PASSWORD.
A user can login in directly to BI Answers/Dashboards by including a valid PeopleSoft username & password in the nqUser & nqPassword parameters of the Analytics URL. This requires PeopleSoft credentials in URL which poses a security risk. Separate Presentation Server without single signon configuration could be used for direct access.

Production site is not functioning due to an User Login Password expire.

Hi All,
SQL Server 2005
We have an issue with user login password expire. Generally we create logins without password expire but the user is unable to login to the server and getting password expire error.
a) What would be the reasons behind this scenario.
b) How to resolve this issue.
c) How can we avoid this issue in future.
I'm really grateful to your valuable suggestions on this. Thank You.
Regards,
Kalyan.

Hi,
In addition, you can use
ALTER LOGIN (Transact-SQL) to configure the enforcement of password policy options of a SQL Server login.
When CHECK_POLICY is changed to OFF, CHECK_EXPIRATION will also be set to OFF. The following combinations of policy options are not supported:
If MUST_CHANGE is specified, CHECK_EXPIRATION and CHECK_POLICY must be set to ON. Otherwise, the statement will fail.
If CHECK_POLICY is set to OFF, CHECK_EXPIRATION cannot be set to ON. An ALTER LOGIN statement that has this combination of options will fail.
More information, please see policy enforcement section in the following TechNet article:

When trying to send photos using iphoto a window comes up and says that email server did'nt recognize user name /password ...what do i do to correct this please marie

hello when I try to send photos using the iphoto a window comes up to tell me that my email server didn't rercognize user name /password how do i correct this .. as i have cganged my email address but i can't get rid of the old one thank you marie

Hi Cody\'sgirl,
If you are having issues emailing photos directly from iPhoto, you may want to double check the email account information that is set in iPhoto. You may find the following article helpful (the section below is about setting up a new account, but it should be the same location to check existing account info):
To set up a Photo Mail account:
Choose iPhoto > Preferences, and then click Accounts.If you’re in full-screen view, move your pointer to the top of the screen to make the menu bar appear.
Click the Add button in the lower-left corner.
Click Email, and then click Add.
Choose your email service provider.If your service provider isn’t listed, choose Other.
Type the requested information.If you use the Mail application included with OS X, some account information might be filled in already. If you’re not sure what to type, contact your service provider.
You can set up more than one Photo Mail account by repeating these steps for each account. When you send an email, you can change the outgoing account by clicking the From pop-up menu and choosing an account.

When am trying to download acrobot standard its prompting with user login password and its not getting downloaded.

Hi
When am trying to download acrobot standard its prompting with user login password and its not getting downloaded.

When you (or someone) first switched on your computer, you (or someone) had to choose a password. This protects your computer, and you need it to install most software or change the system. We can't help you if you forget it, sorry.

Different password demands after resetting users login password

iMac 27", Mavericks
Had to reset users (norm.) password.
Now user gets demands from Mail, Calendar agent and com.apple.iCloudHelper.xpc where those programs want to use keychain and user must give his password.
What has happend?
How to stop these demands?

Resetting the user login password does not reset the keychain password. You must change the password on the login keychain to match the users new password.
You can change it in the Keychain Access program.
If you do not know the users old password, you'll have to reset the login keychain, losing all stored passwords.

Could somebody advise why this happen and how it can be solved?
There is a box called "Allow service to interact with desktop" in the service startup menu. What is it means and did it related to the problem?

Server does not recognise user and password

unable to email photos. server does not recognise user and password

This is a quite interesting issue. Perhaps it may help if we start by trying to understand what caused the issue and then we will consider how you might recover from it.
One of the things that Cisco wanted to do as they released version 15.0 was to improve the security of passwords in IOS. So they designed and implemented a new "type 4" password which they intended to replace the previous "type 5" password used for enable secret or for username secret passwords. So in those versions of 15.0 if you configure enable secret or username secret for passwords the IOS would create the new type 4 password.
Then you reacted to some problem and loaded an older version of IOS. 12.2(55) does not understand the type 4 passwords. So as your switch booted on this version of code and it read lines in the startup config that had type 4 passwords it did not understand them and marked them as invalid input. So the result is that your switch does not have an enable secret and perhaps usernames do not have passwords.
I do not know if you will be able to recover without doing password recovery but I have a suggestion which you can try. See if you can login on the console. It may depend on how your switch was configured whether it will let you do that and whether it will let you get to enable mode on the console. The default behavior was to allow the console to get to enable mode without a password. If your configuration includes aaa authentication enable default enable then the console may not work and in that case I believe that your only alternative will be password recovery.

Forgot user login password

My family shares our home computer, with multiple user accounts. My daughter changed her login password and now can't remember it. As the administrator, can I find out or reset her login password from my account?
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

hi... i am no expert here, but i have a classroom with 22 emacs, and i set up user accounts for 7 kids on every computer... i can change their passwords without messing with any of their files by going to system preferences, then clicking on accounts... from there, i select the user account i want to modify, select password, or limitations, and you can not only reset the password, you can select what applications you want each user to have access to. Hope this helped. Jim

How to change a users login password via single user mode, plus multiple issues?

So, there is much to this Thread.
(First Issue)
A lil back ground, i'm working on a MacBook Pro 3,1 running OS X Tiger 10.4.(something, no idea), the The user has forgotten their account password. Now before you tell me to just change it through the Root Admin account, that account seems to have its own issues, the accounts do not show up in the system preferences, therefore not allowing me to change that users account password.
(Second Issue)
Once I'm able to login into the users account, is there any way to disable / erase / eradicate the key chain system?
(Third Issue)
All of a sudden the MacBook has lost all audio capability, both in the built in speakers and through the headphone jack.
i'm open to any ideas, its currently 10:14am the user is wanting this to be done by 2:45pm please help i'm desperate and i don't want to be defeated by a Mac

It's possible some of these things are related. I'd first do a basic verification of the computer's system.
First, if at all possible make a backup of the drive in its present configuration. If something goes wrong during repair attempts and makes things worse you will have a backup. You will have to decide how to work this in the light of any present backups you may have, for example, a backup that may be a few days out of date. In that case you may want to keep that one and make a second backup of this as they are now, though I realize people often don't have a lot of empty drives sitting around.
Boot from the System installer disc that came with your computer or is the one for the version you currently have on there, select language if applicable, choose utilities, run Disk Utility and verify (and repair if necessary) the drive. You can verify a drive from DU on your main drive while booted but I have found this can result in incorrect reporting of errors. To repair your drive you have to run it from a drive other than the boot drive anyway.
Next, boot from your drive in [Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393] and repair permissions. You can repair permissions while booted from the installer disc but this uses the permissions configuration on the installer disc which may be out of date if you have run any updates on your computer. Booting your computer to Safe Mode restricts the number of things running on your computer while permissions are being run and does a bit of spring cleaning at the same time.

[Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751]
From BDaqua (couldn't have said it better):
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer (Edit: Do not use this disc if it is not the same general version as what you have currently on your computer, e.g. use a Tiger disc for a Tiger drive, not a Panther disc), then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes."

Not recognising user login password MacBook Pro

Hey people hope you can help! After installing new hard drive and transferring time machine data, my MacBook Pro is Refusing to recognise my password even after I have reset it using the startup disk. I enter user password on my admin user account and it goes blue briefly as if beginning load but the. Returns back to selecting user and entering password. It really strange as it does not say password incorrect its almost like it trying to load but can't. Any suggestions please?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

FileVault 2 password, does it have to be the same as user login password?

That is really my question, and if possible to have different PW how to do this?
Thanks

It can be different; however, if so then you will need to log in twice. The first time you will bypass the EFI login window to unlock the drive, and the second to log into your OS X account. Apple makes this seamless by making the passwords be the same, but you can change the FileVault password at a later point, and if you change your login password by other means than the Accounts system preferences, then the FileVault password will not be updated accordingly. These will result in the double-login prompts.

Server app v3.01 User Accounts password add/reset/editing functions greyed out

I recently upgraded a Lion server to Mavericks with 1500 users and 450 clients on Xserve early2009 2.26Ghz Quad core Xeon 24GB RAM 32 TB Raid.
        All the upgrade went ok through 10.7 to 10.8 to 10.9 apart from having to rekerberise the realm to get users to log in from various 10.7,10.8,10.9x10) clients . I do not use Profile Manager as yet as I have had lots of faults on test networks etc so I continue to use Workgroup Manager 10.9 and Server app v3.01 now that Server Admin Tools has been discontinued.
        I have noticed however that all my users in Accounts/Server App are not editable such as password resets adding and deleting users etc. If you choose Edit User all the information shows but is greyed out for editing etc.
I still use WorkGroup Manager for adding/editing users and changing passwords which still functions(thank goodness).
        Am I missing something in that I cant edit/add users because I upgraded from a previous directory and OS etc? Do I have to accept the server app wont edit/add users and stick with WGM? Or are there serious underlying faults with my open directory?
         There are also lots of quirks in the File Sharing pane with users hanging on after logging out from clients and duplicates of log ins when they log in again. Today I restarted my server to update the Server app to 3.01 and i got a message saying 361 users were logged in although no users were showing in the File Sharing pane for about 12 hours! Obviously there is some problem with the termination of the log out process in AFP that doesnt take place. Since reboot this morning the memory usage has dramatically decreased so I am waiting to see if the errors return when we get a busy network situation later today.
Anyone had tthese problems or fixed the issues?

Just to update my post I referred to the the brilliant Krypted site to see if anything would help my situation and found this post on resetting the Server.app. I havent had time to try this yet but I'd like others to comment if they try it first:
"Unresponsive Server After Mavericks Upgrade? Reset Server App
The Server 3 app is great. But when you go making changes to some things, you’re just going to cause problems, sometimes something as simple as just upgrading to the latest and greatest version of Server… I know, you’ve been told that host name changes and IP changes are all kinds of OK at this point; “look, Charles, there’s a button!” Well, go ahead, click it. Don’t mind me, you might just be alright. But then again, you might not… And upgrades that use a migration wizard… Um, when it works it’s a thing of beauty. But when it doesn’t, you might be restoring some stuff from backup. But just before you do that restore, let’s try one more thing. Let’s try and rebuild some certificates and configuration settings that shouldn’t impact actual service operation. Let’s try to reset the Server app and let a fresh install of the Server see if it can fix issues.
Now, I want to be clear, this is the last resort before restoration. I’ve had a lot of luck with services remaining functional and preserving settings when I do this, but don’t expect that. Basically, we’re going to do what we looked at doing back in ’09 with AppleSetupDone but one designed just for servers, so the file is in the same place (/var/db) and called .ServerSetupDone. To remove it, close Server app and run the following command:
sudo rm /var/db/.ServerSetupDone
Once removed, open the Server app again and then let the Server app run as though it’s new. Cruft, begone!"
