Reader 8 Updater locks user domain account

I'm having an issue at work where the AdobeUpdater appears to be caching the username and password in order to get through the proxy when checking for updates. Our password policy requires a new password every 30 days. After a password change, updater will run with old information and lock the user's account. It never prompts for a new password, just keeps trying until the account is locked. If I manually run AdobeUpdaterInstallMgr.exe I'm prompted with a dialog box that shows the domain\username and password along with a check box to save the password. Then, the user can enter the new password and uncheck the box and everything appears to work fine.
Does anyone know where the cached information is being stored? It would be nice to be able to push out a patch that clears this information without having to involve each user.

Im currently experiencing the same problem with my users.
Users report that whenever they start adobe updater, the account will lockout.
Somehow it stores the old passwords. I've checked the stored usernames and passwords. Only .net passports are located there.
I also got a policy requiring a password change every 45 days.
Any solutions?

Visual Studio Test Controller recovery locks out the user domain account, cannot log into PC

On the recovery tab of the Visual studio Test controller Services properties dialog, there are three recovery settings:
First Failure, Second failure and Subsequent failures. The default settings for these options is to "Restart the Service". I changed my domain password this morning, restared the PC and could not log in because the Visual Studio Test Controller
service tried to restart with the wrong credentials in an infinite loop. This resulted in my account with the domain controller getting locked out. The delay between service restarts was very quick and I could not login and stop the service. The kind admin
fellow logged in to the PC and changed the service settings.
Is there a place where the recovery service restart interval can be changed to prevent this situation?

Hi bcautest1,
>>I changed my domain password this morning, restared the PC and could not log in because the Visual Studio Test Controller service tried to restart with the wrong credentials in an infinite loop. This resulted in my account with the domain controller

You said that you couldn't log in, do you mean that you couldn't log in your machine or others?
If you change the domain password, generally we could open the Test Controller configuration and change the logon account for this service.
But if you mean that you couldn't log in your windows now, I'm afraid that it is not the test controller and Agent issue, it would be the windows issue, because it still has this issue even if you use other servers.

Pages update locked with my account

Hello I have a problem I bought My macbook pro yesterday and had pages, numbers, iphoto, imovie, garageband, and keynote preinstalled and when I want to update it, it says : Cette mise à jour n’est pas disponible pour cet identifiant Apple, soit parce que l’article a été acheté par un utilisateur différent, soit parce qu’il a été remboursé ou annulé.
that means translated: This update isn't available for that appleID, either because this article was bought by a different user, or it was deleted or paid off.
could somebody help please?

Do the apps appear in the Purchases list? If so, delete the apps and install them again.

Best approche with domain account and Microsoft account?

HI,
We presently try Windows 8.1 in my company. And we have a user/domain account, and this is perfect. Now I discovers we can sync/connect with a Microsoft account. I try to connect to a "business" Microsoft account. But if I do that I can't use Skype
with my personal account !
So my real question is when we use a domain account when we connect to a Microsoft Account, best utilization is to use our personal or a business Microsoft account?
And if I use a business account, how I can use Skype with my personal account?
Eric

This is an issue.
Linking the domain account to one online account is not something I am happy about at all. We need more flexibility around account settings please.
S. O'Neill,
Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I am hoping to migrate our company from an in house SBS server to Office 365, I had expected that this issue would have been resolved by the Office 365 account also being a Microsoft Account. But I
have since learned that this is not the case, and for at least one good reason. Windows Store App licenses and payment information is linked to the Microsoft Account.
Please consider a small business of 50 to 100 users using Office 365 Enterprise where Users stay in the company between 1 to 3 years.
Not all staff joining the company would have a personal Microsoft Account, and even if the User did have a personal Microsoft Account, as the User's computer is a company asset, the company cannot violate the user's privacy by having the User use their own
Microsoft Account. And the company cannot risk the security implications of having the User's personal Microsoft account connected to their corporate computer and network.
The company IT department could create company owned Microsoft accounts for each User as well as Office 365 User accounts. And when a User leaves, log into the User's company Microsoft Account and check to ensure that the user has not placed any company
records on their Microsoft Account's OneDrive before deleting their User account. It will also mean deleting and creating a new Microsoft Account each time a User leaves the company and their replacement is hired.
However there is an issue here when the IT Department deletes the Microsoft Account the company looses the license for any software that they have purchased for the user.
So far the only solution I have been able to determine is to create company "role" based Microsoft Accounts and Office 365 accounts, then use Email Aliases to manage a personalised email address for any user working in that "role". For example we would have
roles "CEO", "Business.Manager", "Finance.Manager", "Finance.Assistant_1", "Communications.Office", "Marketing.Manager", "Sales.Rep_1", etc.
I understand that Enterprise organisations do not use Microsoft Accounts at all, but use Side-loading administered from an AD server to manage Windows Store Apps.
I would very much like to hear how companies are managing the issues caused by Microsoft Accounts, including the issue of there being two OneDrives, a Microsoft Account OneDrive and an Office 365 OneDrive for Business.

Java SE Ver 7 Uxx locking out domain user account failing Kerberos PreAuth

Java SE Ver 7 all updates are failing Kerberos Pre_Auth and locking domain user accounts because of truncated UDP packets.
When a user opens a page that uses JavaScript their domain account gets a bad password, subsequent openings in the lockout threshold window (5 in 30 minutes for us) results in a domain account lockout.
I have done extensive troubleshooting of this issue and have root caused and been able to prevent it with a less desirable solution. Oracle fixes for the bug below (basically same issue) do not work for me or i'm implementing them incorrectly.
This effects XP\Win7 (32Bit browsers with IE 8 and 9).
Java SE Ver 7 U21 and lesser updates are failing Kerberos Pre_Auth (KRB5KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_FAILED)due to the use of UDP instead of TCP. Starting with the SRV request, UDP exceeds MTU and gets truncated enroute to the KDC. This results in the eventual response from the KDC as bad credential and eventual account lockout if user repeats call for Java.
We have been able to force TCP by blocking UDP 88 on a test station's windows firewall. This prevents the bad password, but injects a delay while kerberos times out UDP and fails to TCP.
Java BUG 8009875 lists the "udp_preference_limit=1" value that forces Java to use TCP, but i can't get this working with a KRB5.config or KRB5.ini file in the c:\windows directory. Even utilizing an environment variable KRB5_CONFIG does not work.
Our expected result is to force Java 7 to use TCP for Kerberos transactions and not UDP. This will be a stop gap until the release of Version 8 next year, which BUG 8009875 says corrects the default UDP call to TCP.

I had this same issue. My fix was to create a custom jass config file that specific to not use the local tgt cache.
If you would like I could provide you with this setup. 1.7 uses GSS/SPNEGO as the first method of auth, this will essentially disable this method of single-sign on.
Http Authentication
GSS/SPNEGO -> Digest -> NTLM -> Basic
It looks like you got a fix so this post could be worthless

Value to be populated in oblastloginattemptdate while locking user account?

Hi,
I am writing a custom JAVA module for forgot password where in i am locking user account if the user fails to answer correctly to his challenegd questions.
I am populating oblogintrycount and oblockouttime.
Can anyone tell me what value should be populated to oblastloginattemptdate?
The LDAP shows the value something as "2009-03-16T09:52:57-05:00".
Please let me know if anyone has any information on the same.
Regards,
Anubha

Hope I have got your question correct.
I beleive, you need to update the lastloginattemptdate with the time when user tried to login whether successful or unsuccessful.
Just update it with the time you are locking out the user. Date format is like "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mi:ss[+/-]hh:mi"
[+/-]hh:mi is the time relative to GMT.

MIRO - User Exit during SAVE: Read items & Update header

Hi there!
During MIRO after pressing save...
I search for an user-exit or BAdI, to READ ITEM DATA and UPDATE HEADER DATA (XBLNR) after SAVE but before UPDATE.
I have searched this forum, but with no luck. Many more then me seem to have the same problem. The most common answer have been to try BAdI INVOICE_UPDATE, but that BAdI only give READ access and NO UPDATE, so no luck there..
To summarize all my searching here and findings... I list all exits I have tested...
User-Exits
LMR1M001 User exits in Logistics Invoice Verification
LMR1M002 Account grouping for GR/IR account maintenance
LMR1M003 Number assignment in Logistics Invoice Verification
LMR1M004 Logistics Invoice Verification: item text for follow-on docs
LMR1M005 Logistics Inv. Verification: Release Parked Doc. for Posting
LMR1M006 Logistics Invoice Verification: Process XML Invoice
MRMH0001 Logistics Invoice Verification: ERS procedure
MRMH0002 Logistics Invoice Verification: EDI inbound
MRMH0003 Logistics Invoice Verification: Revaluation/RAP
MRMN0001 Message output and creation: Logistics Invoice Verification
BADI - When saving in MIRO the following BAdI were passed...
PPA_CUST_BADI
/CCIS/FICLRDC_ENH
INVOICE_UPDATE << only read no update
ME_DP_CLEARING
AC_DOCUMENT
FI_LIMIT_PROCESS
AC_QUANTITY_GET
FMRE_BUS_PROCESS
EXIT_XFMPRI_001
CO_DOCUMENT_INFO
INVOICE_UPDATE (method change_before_update ) << only read no update
MRM_RANSACT_DEFAULT
MRM_HEADER_DEFAULT
Other BAdI's
MRM_HEADER_CHECK - Bara ingående värden för kontroll
MRM_HEADER_DEFAULT - Tyvärr sätter bara XBLNR precis när man går in i MIRO...dvs för tidigt.
MRM_ERS_HDAT_MODIFY - EJ anropad...
Would be greatful for any ideas on this matter...
Best regards
Henrik

Hello Henrik,
In BADI INVOICE_UPDATE there are 3 methods CHANGE_AT_SAVE, CHANGE_BEFORE_UPDATE and CHANGE_IN_UPDATE.
Of these CHANGE_AT_SAVE is called before INSERT / UPDATE statements are executed. We can use this to update RBKP-XBLNR.
We can't use CHANGE_BEFORE_UPDATE and CHANGE_IN_UPDATE methods as they are called after INSERT / UPDATE statements are executed and before COMMIT.
You can update RBKP-XBLNR through INVOICE_UPDATE~CHANGE_AT_SAVE method using call stack technique like below. You can replace 'VALUE' in the below code with the value based on your calculation using other variables like s_rbkp_new, ti_rseg_new etc.
method IF_EX_INVOICE_UPDATE~CHANGE_AT_SAVE.
DATA: lv_name_xblnr(30) TYPE c VALUE '(SAPLMRMP)RBKPV'.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_rbkpv> TYPE mrm_rbkpv.
ASSIGN (lv_name_xblnr) TO <fs_rbkpv>.
IF <fs_rbkpv> IS ASSIGNED.
<fs_rbkpv>-xblnr = 'VALUE'.
ENDIF.
endmethod.
Best regards,
Vishnu Tallapragada

The error message means that Active Directory server Reject the authentication attempt
as for some reasons the user account got locked.I guess, You should ask your AD Team to check in the AD

When i try and open the auto cad Lt that i just downloaded i get this error The directory may be locked by another process or have been set Read Only. Directory: '/Users/hockaday' Please correct this problem and press OK to exit the application.

i get this error why i try and open the auto cad that i just downloaded
The directory may be locked by another process or have been set Read Only.
Directory: '/Users/hockaday'
Please correct this problem and press OK to exit the application.

I did install it in the admin account. Actually the computer has four accounts, one for my husband, where I installed it. One for me which also is set to admin, one is called TEST and has nothing in it and one is guest user.
I don't know how AutoCad is interfacing with the account. That is why I am not sure what to do about it. I read other threads in various places and some seemed to point to something having to do with having multiple users. The solutions were not clear. I was hoping someone else had this problem and could tell me what to do. I tried apple support but no help. I have not tried AutoCad yet as I assumed they wont help since this is a free educational version of their product.

New user called user.domain after updating from win 8.1 to win 10

I can't find any information on it at the moment but my guess would be that the profile versions have increased between 8.1 and 10 as they did between 7 and 8.1
I think I remember seeing somewhere that the profiles in Windows 10 are now v5 instead of the v4 of 8.1
Found a similar article explaining the changes from the release of 8.1/server 2012R2

Hi,
i will try to shortly explain the scenario:
I have removed my PC from my company's domain, in order to update my windows 8.1 pro to windows 10 pro. (i read a microsoft article telling that we are supposed not to be joined to a domain so we can do the upgrade).
so after the upgrade was done, i rejoined my pc to the domain. i logged in with my AD user, but a new profile was loaded called: user.domain
and my old profile is still in c:/users/ called user
how can i load my old profile back?

Lock user account

I have create an user account and I need to lock this account automatically by August 1. how can i do it?
thanks a lot

Create an Sql script like this :
alter user <username> account lock;
exit
and a batch file which executes it using SqlPlus : this one depends on your OS. The following is for Linux :
. $HOME/.bash_profile
export ORACLE_SID=<YOUR DB>
sqlplus -s "/ as sysdba" @<your Sql script>
Schedule it on midnight, August 1 using your scheduler (AT or cron, or anything else).

Check for Updates and User Account Control

With Adobe Reader the 'Check for Updates' function under Help does not appear to function when 'User Account Control (UAC)' in Windows Vista is turned on.
When UAC is turned off, the 'Check for Updates' works, and if there an update is available for Adobe Reader, it will download and install.
Other programs that update software funtion with UAC turned on, albeit with the additional dialog boxes that UAC brings, namely the CTL/ALT/DEL and user account logon (when applicable.)
Without updating the Adobe Reader software, users are leaving themeselves open to vulnerabilities. Without UAC turned on, users are also leaving themselves open to certain risks. So there appears to be a dilemma presented.
Does anyone know if/when Adobe will be changing the 'Check for Updates' functionality so it will behave more in-line with the UAC functionality?
Thank you in advance for your time and attention.

With UAC enabled, I start Adobe Reader, click on Help, and there is no selection for updating. There is nothing for me to click. Additionally, in Edit, Preferences, Updater, "Do not download or install updates automatically" is selected, and everything on the right pane is greyed-out.
With UAC disabled, I start Adobe Reader, click on Help, and there is a selection for 'Check for Updates.' In Edit, Preferences, Updater, I can select the various methods of downloading/updating Adobe Reader. The option to download the update but not install was selected, as I wanted it to be.
Finally, I noticed that the notice from Adobe, 'Update is ready to install,' appears in the Windows tray. And it is this point that somewhat changes the serverity of the problem, that is, while 'Check for Updates' is not available when UAC is enabled, it appears that Adobe can still be updated through the automatic download feature. The only problem with this is that I cannot tell if the update was downloaded while UAC was enabled (probably not since the download setting says not to) or while UAC was disabled.
In any case, it still does not appear that our clients can get their Adobe Reader software updated while UAC is enabled. And this represents a security dilemma for us.

Locking user account

Hi,
I have to questions:
1. Is there anyway to lock user account in OBIEE 11g?
2. Can i disable "Create New>" menu in analytics?

We ran into that ourselves, courtesy of our <SARCASM>friends</SARCASM> Sarbanes and Oxley. Based on our research and statements from Sun engineers, the only ways to do it in Solaris 9 are:
* Write a PAM module to do it
* Log all failed attempts to a file and have a process scan it for successive login failures
* Go to something like Directory Server (LDAP) which has account lockouts built into it
We decided to go with the last option - and yours truly was responsible for doing everything. Two months of hell, but it's done and much easier to manage than files or NIS.

IIS Anonymous User using Plumtree Domain Account

Is it good or accepted practice to create a Plumtree domain account and have the remote portlets (web apps) use this username / pwd instead of the anonymous user (IUSR_MACHINE) accounts? Then we would only need to grant acess to the Plumtree domain account on file shares, etc.

The anonymous user for IIS should not be a domain user. It should be a local account and given minimal rights.
