Removing user name from sign-in window

Upon starting Skype my username appears in the sign-in window by default.
To stop this happening skype says: when skype is not running, in Finder click on Go, select Go To Folder, enter ~/Library/Application Support/Skype, and once there delete the folder bearing the username to be removed.
This works, but only until the user with that name signs-in. Thereafter the name reappears in the sign-in window.
Can a username be removed without having to follow this procedure every time the user logs out, please.
Skype 6.15 (335)
Mac OS 10.6.8

Never mind:

Removing Skype name from sign in screen

Hi
I'm selling my PC (windows XP pro) and have deleted Skype (using add/remove programs) then reinstalled it.
My user name keeps coming up as an option, without the PW, how do i delete this from my PC so my username does not come up any more?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try Below:
Exit Skype : From the system tray >> right click on the skype icon and click "Quit"
Press WinKey + R to open the Run window
type: %programdata%\Skype\Apps and press Enter
Delete the login folder.
Again Press WinKey + R
type: %appdata% and press Enter
Delete the Skype folder.
For testing purposes you can run Skype but you need to delete the folders again.

We have an itunes account on our desktop and my kids have it on their ipod and iphone. I went in and changed our user name from my old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my new one and now either of my kids can access the itunes store..

We have an itunes account on our desktop and both my kids have it on iphone and ipod. I went in and changed out user name from an old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my one I use now... When the kids try to sign onto the itunes store it tells them they have the wrong user name..
Can this be fixed??

Did you change the email address or create a new Apple ID?
If the email address associated with the account was merely changed, sign out of the Apple ID on the devices and sign in using the new credentials.

Converting file names from Mac to Windows.

I am an Apple tech at a university that uses both PCs and Macs. We have found that we run into some problems when transferring a user's data from one platform to the other.
When transferring lots of files, what do you experienced Mac techs use for safely converting file names from Mac to Windows?
From Windows to Mac?
We've tried NameCleaner and ended up with bad results.
Please let me know if there is something good out there for these conversions.
---Timothy

The problem looks like this:
1. User wants to switch from Mac to Windows.
2. We back up the data from his Mac to a server (an X-Serve RAID).
3. We log into the server from Windows.
4. We try to pull his data from the server.
During this data transfer, it quits with an error stating that it can't finish copying the data. I wish I had the exact text, but I don't. It does this repeatedly, and stops on different files from different locations.
In essence, without "cleaning" the Mac file names, data transfer to Windows cannot successfully complete. It quits on certain Mac file names. In the past, NameCleaner has worked sometimes, but now we have had some issues with NameCleaner (which don't matter in this discussion). The goal is to find a better solution than NameCleaner.

How can I transfer two user names from an iMac to a new macbook?

How can I transfer two user names from an iMac to a new macbook?
got a new laptop and need to transfer two usernames to it, complete with all documents help?

Assuming you haven't already set up a user, the easiest way is to use the Setup Assistant during first boot of the new Mac, with the two Macs connected by firewire.
You'll be prompted to migrate from a choice of sources - choose "from another Mac", select the catagories of data you want to transfer and follow the instructions.

How to retrieve user name from a given Subject?

I am in a situation where I need to retrieve user name from the Subject that is populated when user logs in. I have the active Subject and I do following to get the principals in the subject and iterate through them:
Set principals = subject.getPrincipals();
Iterator ite = principals.iterator();
while (ite.hasNext()) {
Principal prin = (Principal)ite.next();
String name = prin.getName();
But this contains all the principals, including user name, roles, password, etc. How do I programmatically determine which one is user name?

Don't you have different principal types? I am making a jaas module and I have different principals for roles, groups etc. I think of principals as attributes, the type in the attribute name and the principal name is the attribute value.
To get all the principals of the type SomePrincipal, you can use:
Set principals = subject.getPrincipals(SomePrincipal.class)
You can also take som principal an test wether it is an instance of som type:
if (Principal p instanceof SomePrincipal){..}
An other solution which might be better if you have many different attributes is to store both attribute name and value in the name of the principal.
If "mark" is a username the principal name will be "username:mark" el.
Then it will be easy to find the username.

How to get the Users Name from the SSL certificate?

Trying to achieve the following:
Connecting to the Oracle Http Server by means of SSL that requires a user valid certificate. Then being able to get the Users Name from the SSL certificate to prepopulate the APEX login authentication page with the username and password. Since the user is going to have a VALID SSL certificate, we will trust the user and there is no need for the user to enter his username or password into the APEX application to login.
Does SSO do this or something else?

Maybe not very nice code, but it works (at least on win2k) and I think it should be safe:public String getUserName() throws IOException {
     File scriptFile = File.createTempFile("script", ".js");
     FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(scriptFile);
     fw.write ("WScript.Echo(WScript.CreateObject('WScript.Network').UserName)");
     fw.flush();
     fw.close();
     BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(Runtime.getRuntime().exec("CSCRIPT.EXE \"" + scriptFile + "\" //Nologo").getInputStream()));
     String uName = br.readLine();
     br.close();
     scriptFile.delete();
     if (scriptFile.exists()) scriptFile.deleteOnExit();
     return uName;
}

How to get the system property - user.name from a client system

Hi All,
I have an application which would enable active users from the domain of the company. I want to get the name of the client from the system. I tried to run it on the local machine from Jdeveloper, it returned me the correct user name. But when the application is deployed on the Oracle Application server, and i hit the URL of the application, it returns the server URL.
I understand that the JSP works on the server side here but help me out to get a solution. I want to read the user name from the client side.
Thanks in advance!
Akhil

Akhil,
I hope this will never work. Think about your requirement for a second....
This would mean an application is able to see my user credentials without my knowledge. It's bad enough the know my IP if I'm not using TOR.
To get your requirement to work you have to redefine it a bit. The user have to log in to your application. The application holds the name together with an ID of the session to know the user in further requests.
Thats a basic security theme, described in the dos [Adding Security to a Fusion Web Application|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/web.1111/b31974/adding_security.htm] .

Removing my name from an Alias email

I have been unable to remove my name from the "FROM" in outgoing emails. U have deleted my name in the "FROM" box in the preferences with no luck.
Help...pf

Open address book. Find your own card in address book. Check if this email address is on your own card. If so, you just get your name displayed, as you and this email-address is in address book. Simply delete the email-address from your card, and you shouldn't see your name in "From" any more.

How do I permanently remove a name from a group list?

I would like to permanently remove a name from a group list. I have highlighted and deleted and it still won't go away. I have deleted him from my address book but I cannot remove him from the group list.

There is the mailing list stored (which addressbook)? Perhaps the addressbook is read-only or unavailable?
