Prevent multiple users from accessing a list item at the same

Hi,
I have a scenario where, if a list item is opened (in edit mode) by one user, no other user should able to access it. I mean to checkin/checkout kind of thing which is not possible with sharepoint lists.
One thing that I have done through infopath 2010, by setting a rule on form load. On form load, set a field's value Assigned To to Current User and then submit data. In case I am getting value of Assigned To getting stored in the list as a new record
along with all the values from previous fields.
I want to update the same record not the duplicate record.
Please suggest a solution for it.

Hi
add a new column to your list COL_EDITING( type yes, no )
Default value : NO
Customize your editform.aspx attached to your form, when it open
A. analyze if COL_EDITING=NO
If it isn;t alert an error message ( the item is in edit mode by another user ) , and close the page
if it is --->
B to fill COL_EDITING=YES
and next permit user to fill the fields in the form

Prevent multiple users from updating coherence cache data at the same time

Hi,
I have a web application which have a huge amount of data instead of storing the data in Http Session are storing it in coherence. Now multiple groups of users can use or update the same data in coherence. There are 100's of groups with several thousand users in each group. How do I prevent multiple users from updating the cache data. Here is the scenario. User logs-in checks in coherence if the data there and gets it from coherence and displays it on the ui if not get it from backend i.e. mainframe systems and store it in coherence before displaying it on the screen. Now some other user at the same time can also perform the same function and if don't find the data in coherence can get it from backend and start saving it in coherence while the other user is also in the process of saving or updating. How do I prevent this in coherence. As have to use the same key when storing in coherence because the same data is shared across users and don't want to keep multiple copies of the same data. Is there something coherence provides out-of-the-box or what is best approach to handle this scenario.
Thanks

Hi,
actually I believe, that if we are speaking about multiple users each with its own HttpSession, in case of two users accessing the same session attribute in their own session, the actually used cache keys will not be the same.
On the other hand, this is probably not what you would really like, you would possibly like to share that data among sessions.
You should probably consider using either read-through caching with the CacheLoader implementor doing the expensive data retrieval (if the data to be cached can be obtained outside of an HTTP container), or side caching with using Coherence locks or entry-processors for concurrency control on the data retrieval operations for the same key (take care of retries in this case).
Best regards,
Robert

Prevent multiple users from editing/approving the same form SPD 2013,SP 2013

Hello all, I have a workflow with a to do task, the task is assigned to a group so any of the users in that group can go in and do a quality check on form data and approve it. How do I prevent multiple users from working on the
same form? do I just require check out? or is there a way to notify the rest of the group that a user has already started the quality check.

The "Require Checkout" option is your best bet. You can also enable the auto checkout on edit option to allow minimal effort on the side of the user. Other users will then get the error message stating the item is checked out, if they try to
edit it.
If you'd like, you could add a workflow to the task list that triggers when something is changed. That workflow can check if the item is checked out and if so, email the other users assigned to the task.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

Prevent a user from accessing Cube Navigator

Is it possible to prevent a user from accessing the cube navigator in Analyzer so the user can only view reports that are setup? thanks

In Analyzer 6.2, there are some 'behind the scenes' parameters that can be added to suppress menu items. If you are currently using Analyzer 6.2, try adding the following parameter to your applet tag:<PARAM NAME = HideNav VALUE ="True">Note: this will hide the Navigate button for all users accessing the page.

How to prevent multiple users from updating the same data in coherence

Hi,
I have a Java Web Application and for data cache am using coherence 3.5. The same data maybe shared by multiple users which maybe in hundreds. Now how do I prevent multiple users from updating the same data in coherence i.e. is there something in coherence that will only allow one user a time to update. If one user is in a process of updating a data in coherence and some other user also tries to update then the second user should get an error.
Thanks

I have a question on the same line. How can I restrict someone from updating a cache value when I a process is already working on it. I tried locking the cache key but it does not stop other process to update it , it only does not allow other process to get lock on it.

I need to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the application pages

Hi^^,
I have created an application in jsp and servlets. It has several pages like manager, supervisor accountant. I need to prevent unauthorised users from accessing these pages. In other words I need to implement a filter. Anyone who types a url other than that of the login page needs to be blocked. However I am not able to conceptualize the code that is going to be inside the doFilter() method. Please help
Sincerely,
Prashant

Hi^^,
I admit that there were some mistakes in the previous posting. I have corrected the mistakes and now there is going to be no compile time error. However when i put in the login id and the password it is redirecting me to the login page. I think that the front end jsp is directing the control to the controller servlet. But as "YOU" have pointed out in your previous post,
"by default requestDispatcher.forward(...) does not pass through the filter change. If the user requests the login page from their browser however, then they will still get the error message, which may not be appropriate."
I feel we need to somehow make the code pass through the requestDispatcher.forward(...) method of the servlet.
I am again posting the corrected code.
package com;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class SecurityFilter implements Filter
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws   ServletException, IOException
HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest)request;
HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse)response;
String X = req.getRequestURI();
if(X.equals(http://localhost:8080/MyProject/LoginPage.jsp))
     //writing code for passing through the filter
     final class MyGenericFilter implements javax.servlet.Filter
      public FilterConfig filterConfig;
      public void doFilter( final ServletRequest request, final ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws java.io.IOExeption, javax.servlet.ServletException
      chain.doFilter(request,response);
      public void init(final FilterConfig filterConfig)
      this.filterConfig = filterConfig;
      public void destroy()
else
   HttpSession session = req.getSession();
   String username = (String)session.getAttribute("username");
   if(null==username)
     request.setAttribute("Error","Session has ended. Please login");
     RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("Login.jsp");
     rd.forward(request,response);
     chain.doFilter(request,response);
    else
     RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("X");
     rd.forward(request,response);
public void init(final FilterConfig filterConfig)throws ServletException
      public void destroy()

Open references of other list items from a list item in the same window or tab

Hi there,
We have migrated from lotus notes to sharepoint. We have converted the lotus notes forms to sharepoint forms. Basically the list items are pages and there are links of other pages in a page.
My problem is I want to open the other pages in the same tab or window and not in a separate window.(currently the links open in a separate window which is not the requirement.)
In terms of sharepoint I would say,
I have references(links) to other list items of the list in a single list item. I want to open the other list items in the same window (tab).
How can we achieve this?? If possible without much codes??
Please suggest.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
*1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
For links opened via JavaScript you can look at this pref:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

When the user enter the existing data of list for columns A,C..based on C value the E column value should change and update that particular item in the list.
Please guide me without visual web part can we acheive this by Sharepoint designer 2013 or what would be the preferable solution.
Please help me on this as it is very urgent from me..
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to update the list item in the same sharepoint list with particular condition with Sharepoint Designer 2013.
I recommend to create workflow associated to the list and then start the workflow automatically when an item is changed.
In the workflow, you can add condition and actions as below:
If current item: C equal to Test1
Set E to Test2
Then the value of the filed E will be changed based on the value of the filed C.
In addition, if you create the form using InfoPath, you can add rule to the filed C as below:

How to prevent certain Users from deleting a resource while in the project?

We are currently using P6.2 client; We are setting up a new resource dictionary and have been searching to find a way to prevent certain users from deleting resources while in the project. Is there a way to do that? I have created Global profiles and Project profiles under the Admin security profile and have tried clicking off of rights to delete a resource but when I log into as that user I can still delete the resource. Please Help!

Are you talking about preventing users from deleting resource assignments within a project? Or preventing them from deleting resources from the global resource dictionary?
For global resource dictionary in Global Profile you would turn off:
-Delete Resources
And likely:
-Add resources
-Edit Resources
-Edit Roles
-Edit Resource Calendars
For resource assignments on activities in Project Profiles you would turn off:
-Add/Edit Project Activities Except Relationship
Note: this will disable more then just the ability to alter resource assignments.

Can multiple users work on a Numbers spreadsheet at the same time

We want to acess and edit a spreadsheet with two users in different locations using iPads. Not at exactly the same time but without having to close out of the app like Excel.

I've seen changes I've made on my iPad show up on the same document that's been open all the time on my Mac, which suggests it might be possible. However, I've also had a small number of notifications that documents on different devices are not in sync with each other. So while it might have the potential to work, I'd be inclined to think it would be quite unreliable.

Is there a way to prevent AD users from accessing the VPN?

I have ASA 5510's that authenticate users to the Active Directory. Is there a way to prevent users, that even though they are validated through the AD from being to establish a VPN connection?

Haven't tested this lately, but with the ipsec client, you used to be able to go to an AD user's "dial-in" tab, and there was a check box there for "allow remote access" or something that. If this was checked, they could authenticate via IAS, if not, they couldn't. This allowed only selected users within AD to use the VPN. Not sure if this is still the case, but it's a start...

Obiee11g upgrade: Preventing authenticated-user from accessing obiee system

HI Gurus,
We have a problem regarding security and request your inputs. Please see the issue below:
Current Situation:
We have successfully integrated OBIEE11g with our enterprise MS Active DIrectory. With the current set up, any user in the company will be successfully authenticated by MSAD and he/she is able to login to obiee and reach the new bieehome page. I want to prevent this.
Expected:
Only users who belong to certain AD Groups should be able to acess obiee
How do I prevent this? In our MSAD we have AD groups built to identify OBIEE users. These ad Groups are pre-fixed with OBIEE_ (Ex: OBIEE_Marketing etc). Only the users belong to these groups should be allowed to login.
In 10g, we made use of privileges to explicitly grant access to obiee. We made use of privileges like 'Access to Dashboard' etc. As a result, even if a user is successfully authenticated by LDAP MSAD , he wont be able to reach obiee dashboards if he is not a member of designated GROUP. In 11g, since there is a new page called 'BIEE HOME', non-authorized users are able to reach this page.
Any help would be highly appreciated
--Joe

I have created an SR with Oracle and as per the responses I got, it looks like this is an issue as there is no way to restrict access to bieehome page.
Anyone has any workarounds? This is really holding up our 11g release

Fox4 says that it PREVENTs the user from having two tabs open to the same URL. There are times when I WANT multiple open tabs! Can I override this? (Please tell me. If I can't, then I don't want Fox4. I'll stick with 3.x and NoScript.) Thanks.

Tell me EXACTLY how to FORCE Fox4 to allow me to have MORE THAN ONE tab open to any given web page.
Otherwise, I have to stick with Fox3.
Precise details, please. Thanks.

# Open a new tab - Ctrl + t
# Start typing the URL in the awesome bar. The page should displayed in the list below with "Swtich to Tab" written under it
# Scroll down to the URL in the list using the down arrow key and hit Alt + Enter.
The webpage is opened a second time instead of simply switching to it. Simple.

How to restrict the user from accessing other screens before submittingdata

Hi All,
I have some screens developed in Webdynpro ABAP and all these have been linked to Portal as pages. In Portal If i click on the link in detailed navigation i can see the corresponding screen on the right side. Now in one screen i have to input some data and submit the data, Now my problem is if i enter some data and before submitting the data if i click on any other link in the detailed navigation, that corresponding screen is opening and all the data of the previous screen is lost.
Can any one suggest me, how can i restrict the user from accessing other screens before submitting the data of that screen from portal perspective.

Hi Prasanna,
The pages can be restricted from the user access by using the ACL permission or you can restrict the page by making invisible in navigation area which you do not want to show to the user . Open the page properties and select navigation category in the drop down and select the Invisible in navigation area property to yes.By default this property is No.Change the property for all pcd pages which want to hide from user access.
Hope this helps you...
