Problems with User & permissions

Hi,
I am hoping someone can help me, I wasn't sure what category to post this under as i don't know what is the culprit but I am having issues that I think begun with mobileme and have snowballed.
I trialled mobile me when i got my imac, but i found i didn't really use it enough to justify continuing when the trial finished, when i stopped using it, i just unticked a box (and i think maybe i should've turned off all the sync settings first).
I then began to notice that events wouldn't delete from Ical, and i was getting strange double ups on my Ipod. I followed the instructions from the discussions to reset the sync settings and delete .plist etc but it didn't fix it.
I ended up deleting the preferences and the calenders and re-importing them. This fixed it.
I recently updated to 10.5.7 and software updates also updated bluetooth firmware update.
I now find that my dock settings don't stay when i restart (may have been an issue before but i hadn't tried to change anything so don't know). I can set the dock up the way i want it, but when i restart it goes back to the way it was - not just positions on bar, but icons etc not there, things i have taken off are back.
Reading the discussions, i created a new user and it doesn't have the same problems.Points to issue with user account ?
I have deleted the com.apple.dock.plist, run repair permissions several times, but it still doesn't fix the error.
Also after start-up the bluetooth firmware update is open and running, everytime.
When i look Account settings under login items, bluetooth firmware application is there, but if i remove it, it comes back. Also there is Appigo Sync (under kind it says unknown).
Is there a way to repair whatever is wrong with the software settings without deleting everything?

none of your problems appear to have anything to do with permissions.
start by resetting your mobileme sync data
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1497
if that doesn't help delete the entire contents of the folder /users/username/library/application/support/isync/synclocalcopy and log out/in.

Windows 8.1 problems with users permissions

Hi,
I have strange problem between two of my accounts.
Long time I thought that Windows 8 work that way until two days ago. When I sign in with my Live account a must run most of my software as administrator!? If I want to run setup for some programs also I had to start as administrator.
But, at my kids computer nothing of these is needed. So, I create another "Local account" in my computer to test and everything works OK. If I want to start program I just start it, no need for administrator approval.
I don't know if I place question on right place... but I really need help!
Thanks.

Hi,
In addition,this issue seems that you have set your account to Child account.So,please confirm this Microsoft account Type.
1.Sign in to your PC with an administrator account.
2.Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
3.Tap or click Accounts, tap or click Other accounts, and then tap or click your account.Next click Edit.
If the issue persists,please create a new Microsoft account to test it.

Problem with file permissions

Hello all,
I am making a simple HttpServlet, which takes input
from html page and saves in to a file, but I'm having a
bit of a problem with file permissions.

Hello again.
I'm still having problems with this. I made
a simple servlet that reads from and writes
to text file. The reading part work fine on my
computer, but the writing doesn't, not even
an exception is thrown if the file exists that
I'm trying to write to. If I try to create a new
file I'll get an exception about file permissions.
I also asked a friend of mine to try this same
servlet on his windows computer and it works
as it should.
Here's the code
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ReadServlet extends HttpServlet
     public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
          String s = "";
          PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
          String docroot = getServletContext().getRealPath( "/" );
          out.println("docroot: "+docroot);
          File file = new File(docroot+"test.txt");
          if(file.exists())
               s = readFile(file);
               out.println(s);
          else
               out.println("file not found");
               //file.createNewFile();                    // causes exception
               //out.println("new file created.");
          writeFile(file, "written by servlet");
          out.println("Now look in the file "+file.getPath());
          out.println("and see if it contains text 'written by servlet'");
     public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException

               dis = new DataInputStream(bis);
               s = dis.readLine();
               fis.close();
               bis.close();
               dis.close();
          catch(Exception e)

     private void writeFile(File file, String s)
          FileOutputStream fos = null;
          BufferedOutputStream bos = null;
          DataOutputStream dos = null;
          try
               fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
               bos = new BufferedOutputStream(fos);
               dos = new DataOutputStream(bos);
               dos.writeChars(s);
               fos.flush();
               bos.flush();
               dos.flush();
               fos.close();

               dos.close();
          catch(Exception e)
               e.printStackTrace();
}And if someone wants to test this servlet I can
give a war package.
Any advices?

Problem with user mapping

Hello,
We got a problem with user-mapping to a SAP system.
We create a SAp system, and an alias to this system.
We add a user mapping for the administrator (user, not group). Check for connector is OK.
Now, we make the same user-mapping for a group.
if the user also belongs to the group "administrator" this mapping works, otherwise this fail with a message <b>"com.sapportals.portal.ivs.cg.SystemNotFoundException: Got null system object for alias R3HR".
</b>After checking, there is no user-mapping for the "administrator" group, nor for the roles that belong to that group, nor for the user.
So, it seem that the alias is only visible for an admin.
does any one got an idea ? we are on SP14, Linux.
regards
Guillaume PATRY

HI Guillaume,
The user mapping is available for both Admin as well as end users.
Open your system from System Administration>System Configuration>System Landscape.
In the property editor,in dropdown for property category,
select the logon method as UID?password and User Mapping type to admin/user.
Then you can create a Group,map the system alias for this group and add users to this group.
Also,in the property editor for the system,from dropdown for display,select permissions , and add the group to asssigned permissions as READ ONLY and select the checkbox for ENDUSER.
Hope,this resolves your problem.
Regards,
Siddhartha

Problem with users disabling ARD client service

I've got a problem and i'm not quite sure of the work around. I'm a PC guy by nature and can't quite figure this out.
I'm having a problem with users disabling the ARD service from the sharing menu. Unfortunately users need to have admin privleges to do their work so I can't simply give them a standard account.
I've hidden the ARD user account i created from the login window through Netinfo, but I need to find a way to stop users from shutting the ard service down.
They don't seem to understand that the company requires that it be on the computer. Now, I'm the one who is set as the admin for ARD in the building, however we really just use it to rollout drivers, install packages, and its a lifesaver for remotely fixing problems with programs. The company didn't really buy it to spy on the employee's.
Is there any way to hide the service from an admin level account? Or keep them from shutting it down?
BTW, this would have to be done on multiple machines running both panther and tiger.
Any help would be appreciated as I'm not quite sure where to start.

First, as a matter of policy, let them know this service is active, and needs to remain active. If they disobey this instruction and turn it off, you have a human resources issue, not a technical issue.
Second, there are very few enterprise users that need admin access to their machines. Oh, they ALL think they do, and there will be howling when non-admin status is first imposed, but we have 350 users in a publishing environment with less that 20 setup as admins. Those users are almost all superusers who assist others in a technical role.
We have far fewer software problems like this and with ARD, IT can install/ authorize installation of software remotely should a user need that. It simply does not dramatically impact our users to have non-admin access. On the other hand, we recognize that a FEW users will need more access, and grant that on a case-by-case basis.

Live Data / Problem with file permissions

Just trying out an old version of Dreamweaver MX 2004. I am
using my webhosting service for remote server/testing server
duties. It is running PHP 4.3.10 and MySQL 3.23.58. I was able to
set up the database connection and test-retrieve a recordset with
no problems. In following the tutorial I found that Livedata
wouldn't work, it just giving me a warning about file permissions
being wrong. It turns out that when Dreamweaver creates a temporary
file of the work-in-progress to upload to the remote server the
file is created on the server with owner=rw, group=rw, world=r
which explains why it won't run - group has to be set to group=r.
The file is created on the fly and then immediately deleted by
Dreamweaver so it is impossible to manually set the permission on
the server and probably fairly pointless too.
I tried just saving the file and previewing in the browser
which again causes it to be uploaded to the remote server. The
first time this resulted in the browser offering a file download
box instead of running the page. The reason is - again - that
Dreamweaver is setting the uploaded file permissions to include
group=rw. If I manually set the permission for group to group=r it
runs fine.
It turns out that Dreamweaver is always setting the file
permissions on file uploads (checked php and html) to the
remote/testing server to include group=rw. Once I set it manually
on the remote/testing server to group=r for a php file everything
is fine and subsequent uploads of the same file do not change it
again.
I checked with the webhosting company and their second-line
have reported back to me that the default file permission they set
on uploaded files includes group=r so it must be DW that is causing
the problem by setting group=rw the first time. I confirmed this by
using WS-FTP to upload the same file (renamed) to the same target
directory and the permissions set were owner=rw, group=r, world=r.
So
Can anyone please tell me how to change the permissions DW
sets on files written to a remote server because I have spent
countless hours on it without success. From looking at other posts
in this forum it could be that other users are hitting the same
kind of problem with DW8

Stop using Live Data with a hosting account. Set up PHP and
MySQL locally on
your machine. That is how it's supposed to work. You
shouldn't test files on
the fly on a host as you write them. Change your test account
in DW to use
the local server. Upload your files to your remote server
after they are
fully tested.

Problem with file permissions using Snow Lepord

I'm having problems with file Sharing & Permissions using Snow Lepord.
When I save any new file it only has 'Read & Write' privileges for the user, everyone else is 'read only' or 'no access'.
We have a Netgear NAS Server which is accessed by other users over the local network and if I change the Privilege to 'read & write' via Get Info and then copy the file from my desktop to ther server it changes the Privilege of the server version to 'no access' we then have to change it again for it to work.
I also created a new folder on the server and now it says 'no access' and has a no entry icon!
Any ideas???

We have issues like this. Have tried running AFP and SMB, now connecting using CIFS. All have the same problem. I can work on one or two files fine, then suddenly, one of the files I just worked on says I don't have permissions. I log off the server and log back on, and then I have permissions to the file. It will work fine for one or two operations, then fails. We just updated to OSX Mavericks and a Windows 2012 server, but have been having this issue for years. My permissions look fine. I can even change permissions, but it won't let me work on the file or move or delete the file or rename the file. Once I log out and log back in, I can do anything I want.

Problems with user out of OS administrator group

Hi!
I have the following problem. I did an installation of several clients that point to a server, several months ago. The clients work with Windows 200 Professional. The installation in each client was made with a Windows user that has administrator privileges. I had no problems with the clients working with this user and they have been working up to now. But, when I try to take the OS user out of the ADMINISTRATOR group and into the groups USER or RESTRICTED USER, nothing works. I can't do anything that involves oracle and I get the following errors:
- When I try to connect to my application, it says:
Initialization error
Could not load "C:\oracle\ora92\bin\oci.dll"
OracleHomeKey : SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0
OracleHomeDir: C:\oracle\ora92
Found: oci.dll
Using: C:\oracle\ora92\bin\oci.dll
Loadlibrary (c:\oracle\ora92\bin\oci.dll) returned 0
- When I try to start the HTTP Server, the following error appears:
Permision Denied. Could not open document config file c:\oracle\ora92\apache\apache\conf\httpd.conf
Why?, whats happening?. Is there any special privilege that must be given to my non-administrator user?.
Does it have to be in the Administrator Group necessarily?.I don't think so, but I don't know the solution. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot

It is probably a file system permissions issue. Try granting whichever users or roles need the Oracle client read/execute access on the %ORACLE_HOME% directory and subdirectories.

Having Problems With Sharing & Permissions in Finder

I am using a Mac Mini (mid-2011) running Lion Server 10.7.4.
I have noticed lately that when I check files the Sharing & Permissions portion using Get Info on my files I find that there are two lines for each user on my compuer. The first set of lines says Read & Write which I actually selected. The second set of lines says Custom. When I check I have the list Read & Write, Read, Custom. When I try to change Custom I cam select new option No Privileges Info. For the other users I am able to delete the extra line once I select No Privileges Info. However even though I have more than one line I cannot delete the extra line for the main user. I will try and delete the extra line for the main user logged in as someone else that has what I have defined as admin privileges (reason I have more than one user).
This really concerns me because this issue is causing problems with me adding or removing files as needed in the terminal. When I try I get this funky error:
Dubious permissions on file (skipping): filename with duplicate entries for a user.
This is happening more and more even though I am not changing the file permissions that I am aware of.
Any help would be appreciated.

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Back up all data now. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the Recovery screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Problems with update / permissions

Hi
I have a problem with my 15" mid 2010 macbook Pro with 8GB RAM, running Lion with 10.7.4.
Problem:
I cannot update the SW running the Apple update - I finds the new updates for iMovie, iPhoto, Java etc, but when asking it to install them, it prompts me that I cannot install due to not having the correct permissions.
The problem occured approx 3-4 weeks ago. Before that I had never experienced this before...
I have repaired the permissions, but that didn't help - does anyone have a solution to this?
FYI I'm still a novice on the Mac - so I'm learning everyday....
Br
Per

Besides repairing permissions with disk utility, you need to reset your user permissions. Follow instructions here:
Repairing User Permissions in OS X Lion
You’ll need to reboot to perform this, and then use the same resetpassword utility that is used to change passwords in Lion, but instead choosing a hidden option.
When you use the Disk Utility app and Repair Permissions — it doesn’t actually repair the permission settings on folders and files in your Home folder where your documents and personal applications reside.
In Lion, there is an additional Repair Permissions application utility hidden away. This toolis located inside boot Repair Utilities. Here’s how to access it.
Restart Lion and hold down the Command and R keys.
You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.

Problems with Calendar Permissions

Hi There. I am having a problem with the Calendar of one user:
This user cannot share his calendar from OWA or Outlook, nor can I set then in Powershell. Even worse, I can't even view his calendar permissions in PowerShell. For all other folders there's no problem.
So for example, I can run:
get-mailboxfolderstatistics -identity user | select-object name
this proves to me there's a path of username:\calendar and it does exist. Then I can run:
get-mailboxfolderpermission username:\inbox
and this is fine. But if I run:
get-mailboxfolderpermission username:\calendar
I get this error:
"The operation couldn't be performed because object 'username:\calendar' couldn't be found on 'Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Storage.MailboxSession'"
I have to stress this is a medium sized deployment with 6 databases and 4000+ mailboxes. This is the ONLY mailbox (and specifically the only folder) to be displaying this behaviour.
Has anyone ever seen similar behaviour for a single folder for a single user before?

Hi,
Please right-click the Calendar folder for this mailbox in Outlook Online mode, and check the Permissions tab in the Properties. We need to check whether the name Default is listed there with permissions.
If the Default is missing in the permission list, please refer to Will’s suggestion to recreate the calendar folder with MFCMapi. If the permission list is normal for this mailbox, please move the problematic mailbox to another database to have a try.
Personal suggestion, please try the following command:
Get-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity Username:\Kalender

Problem with socket permissions!

Hi All!
I'm developing an applet that displays an image after downlading it from a server; this server is different from the server I download the applet from, so I have problems with security. In fact I get the following exception:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission 172.16.1.22:8080 connect,resolve)
I'm using:
- Java Plugin 1.3;
- Netscape 7.0;
- IE 6;
I've tried to self-sign the applet but with no results (maybe I cannot use selfsigned certificate with java plugin 1.3);
After that I've created a new policy file ("MyPolicy" file)and mentioned it into:
C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_03\lib\security\java.policy
but it didn't resolve my problem (maybe I'm doing something wrong in creating my policy file??!!).
Which steps do I have to follow in order to make my applet connect to images server without security problems?
Thanks so much in advance,
Carlo

1.     Compile the applet
2.     Create a JAR file
3.     Generate Keys
4.     Sign the JAR file
5.     Export the Public Key Certificate
6.     Import the Certificate as a Trusted Certificate
7.     Create the policy file
8.     Run the applet
Susan
Susan bundles the applet executable in a JAR file, signs the JAR file, and exports the public key certificate.
1.     Compile the Applet
In her working directory, Susan uses the javac command to compile the SignedAppletDemo.java class. The output from the javac command is the SignedAppletDemo.class.
javac SignedAppletDemo.java
2.     Make a JAR File
Susan then makes the compiled SignedAppletDemo.class file into a JAR file. The -cvf option to the jar command creates a new archive (c), using verbose mode (v), and specifies the archive file name (f). The archive file name is SignedApplet.jar.
jar cvf SignedApplet.jar SignedAppletDemo.class
3.     Generate Keys
Susan creates a keystore database named susanstore that has an entry for a newly generated public and private key pair with the public key in a certificate. A JAR file is signed with the private key of the creator of the JAR file and the signature is verified by the recipient of the JAR file with the public key in the pair. The certificate is a statement from the owner of the private key that the public key in the pair has a particular value so the person using the public key can be assured the public key is authentic. Public and private keys must already exist in the keystore database before jarsigner can be used to sign or verify the signature on a JAR file.
In her working directory, Susan creates a keystore database and generates the keys:
keytool -genkey -alias signFiles -keystore susanstore -keypass kpi135 -dname "cn=jones" -storepass ab987c
This keytool -genkey command invocation generates a key pair that is identified by the alias signFiles. Subsequent keytool command invocations use this alias and the key password (-keypass kpi135) to access the private key in the generated pair.
The generated key pair is stored in a keystore database called susanstore (-keystore susanstore) in the current directory, and accessed with the susanstore password (-storepass ab987c).
The -dname "cn=jones" option specifies an X.500 Distinguished Name with a commonName (cn) value. X.500 Distinguished Names identify entities for X.509 certificates.
You can view all keytool options and parameters by typing:
keytool -help
4.     Sign the JAR File
JAR Signer is a command line tool for signing and verifying the signature on JAR files. In her working directory, Susan uses jarsigner to make a signed copy of the SignedApplet.jar file.
jarsigner -keystore susanstore -storepass ab987c -keypass kpi135 -signedjar SSignedApplet.jar SignedApplet.jar signFiles
The -storepass ab987c and -keystore susanstore options specify the keystore database and password where the private key for signing the JAR file is stored. The -keypass kpi135 option is the password to the private key, SSignedApplet.jar is the name of the signed JAR file, and signFiles is the alias to the private key. jarsigner extracts the certificate from the keystore whose entry is signFiles and attaches it to the generated signature of the signed JAR file.
5.     Export the Public Key Certificate
The public key certificate is sent with the JAR file to the whoever is going to use the applet. That person uses the certificate to authenticate the signature on the JAR file. To send a certificate, you have to first export it.
The -storepass ab987c and -keystore susanstore options specify the keystore database and password where the private key for signing the JAR file is stored. The -keypass kpi135 option is the password to the private key, SSignedApplet.jar is the name of the signed JAR file, and signFiles is the alias to the private key. jarsigner extracts the certificate from the keystore whose entry is signFiles and attaches it to the generated signature of the signed JAR file.
5: Export the Public Key Certificate
The public key certificate is sent with the JAR file to the whoever is going to use the applet. That person uses the certificate to authenticate the signature on the JAR file. To send a certificate, you have to first export it.
In her working directory, Susan uses keytool to copy the certificate from susanstore to a file named SusanJones.cer as follows:
keytool -export -keystore susanstore -storepass ab987c -alias signFiles -file SusanJones.cer
Ray
Ray receives the JAR file from Susan, imports the certificate, creates a policy file granting the applet access, and runs the applet.
6.     Import Certificate as a Trusted Certificate
Ray has received SSignedApplet.jar and SusanJones.cer from Susan. He puts them in his home directory. Ray must now create a keystore database (raystore) and import the certificate into it. Ray uses keytool in his home directory /home/ray to import the certificate:
keytool -import -alias susan -file SusanJones.cer -keystore raystore -storepass abcdefgh
7.     Create the Policy File
The policy file grants the SSignedApplet.jar file signed by the alias susan permission to create newfile (and no other file) in the user's home directory.
Ray creates the policy file in his home directory using either policytool or an ASCII editor.
keystore "/home/ray/raystore";
// A sample policy file that lets a JavaTM program
// create newfile in user's home directory
// Satya N Dodda
grant SignedBy "susan"
     permission java.security.AllPermission;
8.     Run the Applet in Applet Viewer
Applet Viewer connects to the HTML documents and resources specified in the call to appletviewer, and displays the applet in its own window. To run the example, Ray copies the signed JAR file and HTML file to /home/aURL/public_html and invokes Applet viewer from his home directory as follows:
Html code :
</body>
</html>
<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
width="600" height="400" align="middle"
codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-13-win32.cab#Version=1,3,1,2">
<PARAM NAME="code" VALUE="SignedAppletDemo.class">
<PARAM NAME="archive" VALUE="SSignedApplet.jar">
<PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3">
</OBJECT>
</body>
</html>
appletviewer -J-Djava.security.policy=Write.jp
http://aURL.com/SignedApplet.html
Note: Type everything on one line and put a space after Write.jp
The -J-Djava.security.policy=Write.jp option tells Applet Viewer to run the applet referenced in the SignedApplet.html file with the Write.jp policy file.
Note: The Policy file can be stored on a server and specified in the appletviewer invocation as a URL.
9.     Run the Applet in Browser
Download JRE 1.3 from Javasoft

Problem with users accessing sharepoint 2013 site collection

I have an unbeliveable problem..
I have a sp site with several site collections..
I have around 15 users.. Everybody have access to the root site. Two users do not have access to site collections even though they are in EXACTLY same permission groups like other users who can access those site collections!
I tried to delete them from all user groups in SP, then delete their user profiles in Central Administration, and delete them from Active Directory. After that I recreated their profiles in Active directory, readded them to Central Administration, and again
added them to coresponding groups in SharePoint site collections. They again CAN NOT ACCESS site collections.
What should I do.. This is incredible that 5 users with the same user privileges can access site collections, and 2 can not, even though they are all created in the same way..
Regards,
Srdjan

Hello,
Have you found a solution for this problem? I have the exact same problem with 2 users accessing a site collection (access denied). I found also this row on uls log:
