Quark prefs with wrong user, therefore locked

A friend of mine had there HD replaced and restored, sort of.
However quark (and some other apps) will not launch because the library/preferences are locked--they are with the other users on the mac.
If she logs into the other user she can run quark but is then locked out of other stuff.
Is there a simple way to combined users or achieve something to work that way?

Hi Alan!
This is assuming you are using Quark 6.0 or 7.0.
First, make sure Quark is installed in the main /Applications folder so that all users can access it.
Next, no user preferences reside in the main /Library folder, however the Xerces Framework and a few other files need to be installed there. Look inside the QuarkXPress application folder for a folder called something like "For System". You'll need to run that installer to get the proper frameworks installed.
Finally, QuarkXPress breaks Apple's rules. Its application folder must be read/write (UNIX permissions 777) so that all users can write to it. Also the XTension folder and a few other folders must be enabled for read/write access for all users.
Reinstalling the application may be easier if you can't locate all the folders that need to be permissions to be changed. If you're installing QuarkXPress 6.0 then be sure you run Disk Utility's Repair Permissions afterward. The installer has a terrible bug that changes your entire /Applications folder to read/write for everyone.
Hope this helps!

ACS Windows Server with wrong user authenticatoin

Hello,
we have a new Windows ACS Server with external user database authentication. Users at the ACS Server were configured, disabled, enabled and deleted by RDBMS synchronization with account actions.
We have the problem that a user could be authenticated through the external LDAP even though if the user or his group is disabled inside the Windows ACS Server.
The same procedure doesn't work with our ACS appliance where user administration is done only through the webinterface .
Does anybody know a solution for this problem?
Best regards
Torsten Waibel

Could it be you have unknown user authentication enabled?
If you did, and a username came through authentication in a different format to one one added via dbsync... eg user@domain or domain\user the unknown user policy might legitimately think its a different user. In which case it would depend on what group mapping had been setup.
Just a thought.

Connecting DI API with wrong user name or password

I have an addon connecting to DI API by user login. If user types wrong username or password, the Company.Connect() runs endlessly. However I try to stop this process, I have no chance to do so.
I tried by starting the Company.Connect() in a separate thread, but I cannot shut down this thread, because this thread is endlessly trying to connect to DI API.
Even through using a timer I have no chance to cancel Company.Connect() after a defined period.
Anybody got an idea to solve this problem?
Thanx and best regards,
Ralph

Ralph,
You may want to look at one of the samples that comes with the Business One SDK that use the DI API and have the user log into Business One. You can find one here ...

Portal trying to connect to syndicator with wrong user

I'm trying to create my first KM syndicator / subscriber. I've followed the steps from this document <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/38effdbf-0d01-0010-c3ad-9d9547a492af">https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/38effdbf-0d01-0010-c3ad-9d9547a492af</a>
The problem I'm running into is when creating a subscriber. When prompted to enter the connection information I supply the URL and my username and password for the source portal server. When clicking the Get Catalog button I receive the below error.
What seems odd is that the error mentions the user Guest and not my username.
Failed to connect to the syndicator (HTTP status: 500 Internal Server Error)
Looking at the logs on the source server I getting the following...

New Iphone updated with wrong user

just got a iphone 5 and i just went to get some apps and some thing poped up and it said new iphone and i went threw and it said to backup on my moms phone i said yes and all her contacts are on the phone and songs.
how can i get it to say that it is my phone and i get all my contacts back and songs?
drew hartley , thank you

So what has been your phone before you get iPhone5?
If was an iPhone, did you have created a back up before in a computer or iCloud?
If your phone has been a iPhone and you backed up somewhere, you should sync your device with.
1. To get the back up from iCloud: In your iPhone 5, open Settings>>iCloud, then sign in with your Apple ID and password. Wait for a while and Voila';
2. To get the back up from your PC: plug your device in your pc and open iTunes, then select your device and click restore.
If you never backed up your old iPhone, I advice you to back up your old iPhone by iCloud. Then you can sign in iCloud in your new iPhone and all contacts, photos, calendars, notes and so on goes to your new iPhone automatically.
Hope it will be helpful

CUA SU10 issue with users getting locked

I did some role change using SU10 on CUA central system for 200 users. 45 of the users got locked with global admin lock in the child system for which I made the role changes. These user locks are shown in the child system change documents log as changes by the CUA RFC user. I have this problem everytime I use su10. Why does this happen? What can I do about it? Thanks, KT

Hi Todd,
propably you have some inconsistencies in your landscape....
the cause of such 'unwanted' effects is the fact that if you change a user in your CUA central system, the whole user information is picked, then edited with you changes and afterwards distributed to all child systems.
So what I could imagine in your example is as follows:
User has a global lock in central system already, the particular child system did not have that information (user is still unlocked there). Several causes are possible, for instance the lock idoc did not get processed, Child system was not available/connected to CUA when the lock had been set,......).
At the next update of that user (assign a role), the lock information from the central system is pushed to that child.
Why?
Because the design is to assure data consistency between central and child system. Therefore all the user information from central system is pushed to child at any user change. (that is also why you will see in SCUL 3 idocs for each user change (also user and profile idocs are pushed, even if you have changed the role assignement only).
So what you could check is, if that users got the lock flag (128) already in the past somewhen.

Setup Assistant - (PC with two user ID's) Starts up every time - no prefs

We have 2 ipods, so in my Windows XP PC I've set up one library for "userA", and another for "User B." User A is just a user, UserB is an administrator.
Setup assistant pops up every time I start under UserB (the admin). So, based upon the many threads on this, I looked for a prefs file. In the C\Docs & Settings\userA\ there is an Applications Data folder with several applications folders, including an Apple Computer folder and an iTunes subfolder with the iTunes prefs file.
But userB's (the Administrator) - Docs and Settings has no Applications data folder at all. I tried copying the prefs file from userA into the All Users folder, with no luck. Now I'm hopelessly confused. How can I set up a prefs file when the admin seems to have no Applications data folder at all? (And why is this anyway - seems that the admin account should have all the info, not the ordinary user with few privileges.)
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
To eliminate your worries, two user accounts have the same user name doesn’t mean that they have the same SID. Moreover, the user’s SID remains the same even after it has been renamed.
The SID for domain account/group consists of a
Domain Identifier and a Relative Identifier. Domain Identifier is unique in every domain within a forest, and a Relative Identifier is unique within domain. It is unlikely that two user accounts with or without the same account
name from two forests have the same SID.
The Technet article you mentioned is talking about duplicate SIDs instead of “duplicate computer name or user account”, I will submit a change request to Microsoft about this.
If there are duplicate SIDs when you create forest trust, you need to delete one of them as the article guides.
Here are some related articles below for your references:

How many times with wrong password will phone lock out

how many times with wrong password will phone lock out

Depends on whether you have it set to erase data after 10 attempts. Otherwise it will lock out for a certain amount of time and then you can try again before it locks out again. However, if you cannot remember the passcode, you will have to restore the phone on the computer you normally sync with http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

Connect DB - SYS user with wrong password

Hi All,
A strange thing I have noticed with SYS user since Oracle 9i(never worked on earlier versions) is that I can connect to the SYS user as SYSDBA with wrong password as well! Please guide how to prevent this...
(I have searched for a solution online but was unable to find any :( )
SQL> CONN SYS/AAA@TEST AS SYSDBA
Connected.
SQL> DISC
Disconnected from Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
SQL> CONN SYS/BBB@TEST AS SYSDBA
Connected.
SQL>
SQL> DISC
Disconnected from Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production*009*

There is nothing wrong and nothing should be, IMO, prevented.
When you log in to the server as an user in the dba group (Unix) or the ora_dba group (Windows), you are a power user and O/S authentication applies to you, and you don't need a password.
Logging in as owner of the software (oracle) all the time, what many DBAs do, is a bad idea anyway, as you can remove anyufile on O/S level.
Strategies to prevent this:
- make sure your account isn't in the groups I mentioned
or
- disable O/S authentication by editiing sqlnet.ora
Both procedures are documented.
Finally please note anyone who has root access can get around this easily.

In AppStore.app for some reason when I try to update my apps, it asks for the wrong user account than the one that I am logged in with. This makes me unable to update my apps

In AppStore.app for some reason when I try to update my apps, it asks for the wrong user account than the one that I am logged in with. This makes me unable to update my apps

You would have downloaded those apps with the wrong Apple ID then created a new Apple ID which is the on you are on now. This is acting as normal because all content downloaded from the iTunes and App Store is attached to the Apple ID it was downloaded with. To stop this you would delete the apps and redownload them with your current Apple ID you are signed in with.

PI 7.0 service users are locked

Hi guys,
We have PI7.0 installed and configured properly.
We created a custom product and software component version in SLD and when we are trying to import it in IR we get "Unable to read software component versions from System Landscape Directory". Just to let you know PI is on one host and SLD on another.
It is obvious that something is wrong with users in the communication between IB and SLD.
We have tried everything:
1) notes 764176, 768148, 720717, 741214, found on relevant posts.
2) Exchange profile checks, we added extra roles to PIREPUSER, we replaced PIREPUSER in Exchange Profile with PISUPER, creating all PI service users with user roles in ABAP part of SLD etc... When I changed something in ABAP part, I performed "assign roles to user groups" in VA of Java part.
However, I noticed that in SLD's UME in Java some of the PI service users are locked and I am unable to unlck them, since when I try to do so with user j2ee_admin, I get "There was an error. Please contact administrator"
Any ideas??
Evaggelos

Thanks to both guys. I will award points.
The problem was caused due to some PI users that were locked on the J2EE part of XI, and therefore they could not connect to the SLD. I unlocked them through VA 's, Security Provider service.

User getting locked while sending message sync via BPM. Please help

Hi Experts,
I have a sync - sync scenario where I am sending data synchronously from webservice to a sync RFC FM. I am using BPM and in BPM I have three steps
1. Receive step - Opens Sync-Async Bridge
2. Sync Send step
3. Send step - Closes SYnc-Async bridge.
This BPM solution is same as that give in the blog https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/1403 [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
When I test this scenario I am getting

When I check the "Status monitor for Sync/Async communication" via SXMB_MONI, I found that my message is listed there with BPE status = "Wait".
On double clicking my message I found that there is an error " User is locked. Please notify the person responsible".
Why is my BPE struck in "Wait" stage and user is locked?
What am I doing wrong? Am I missing any settings in SOAP sender communication channel?
Please help me in resolving this problem.

Hi,
Few months ago we had also problems with "locked user" in XI, in our case XIAPPLUSER was sometimes (b)locked.
Perhaps note:
721548 Changing the passwords of the XI 3.0 service users
will help you.
We removed and entered the service users again, with the password in CAPITALS and language blank.
After that our problem was solved, I hope yours too.

Can not receive messages - user mailbox locked

Suddenly my incoming messages stopped coming and a dialogue box appeard, saying: "The sending of password failed. The e-mail server (pop3) answered user mailbox locked."
I've been in contact with my internet service provider and they found nothing wrong from their side. I can access my mail on the webmail and I can send email from my account.
I've checked the way the server and the account is configured and everything seems to be ok and according to manuals from both the ISP and Thunderbird. How can I get may incoming mail working again? Hoping for help!

Yes I asked. That was the first thing I did. And there's nothing wrong on the provider's side. They didn't lock the account and found it very unusual. They didn't know much about Thunderbird, however...
But I got hands-on-help from my son yesterday and that might have (almost) solved it. Seems that Thunderbird can't have both IMAP and POP3 accounts running and there might have been something in this that disturbed the flow. He made a new inbox and things started to work again. But it's still not working 100 %.

'User is Locked' error while trying to start initial load

While trying to start initial load of objects using R3AS, I am receiving error msg 'User is locked'. This rfc user is a dialog user with SAP_ALL. I even tried replicating using a new user, but ended up with same error. The user is not locked but still getting the same error msg via status 'SYSFAIL' in the queue. Any suggestions?
Thnx,
- AJ.

AJ,
The RFC user must be a <b>communication user or a system</b> user. I think you mentioned the RFC user is a dialog user, which would be wrong settings definitely.
Also as mentioned by Marcin, ensure the passwords in the RFC destination of SRM and R/3 are the same as the passwords in SU01 of the respective systems. To ensure this, click on remote logon for the RFC destination in SM59. If the screen doesnot change, this means your systems are connecting through the RFC user without any problem.
Please assign points, if answer is usefull !!
