Require wake password on User Template

I am building an image for all of our Macs and have created a user template by copying specific ~/Library/Preferences/ files to /System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences/ and setting the correct permissions. So far everything is great except for one thing.
I want the System Preferences Security option "Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver" and it is not setting it. Does anyone know which preference or config file stores this setting and how to set it on the User Template? Using OS 10.4.5.

Cool, the help text might need an update:
"Enter a positive integer to be used as the maximum number of days an end-user account password may be used before the account is expired. If you do not specify a value in this field, the site-level Account Password Lifetime Environment Setting will be used."

  • Acrobat 7 requires admin password at every launch for non admin users?

    acrobat 7 requires admin password at every launch for non admin users?
    any one with a solution or similar problem?
    thanks for any help.

    I've been avidly following all of the threads regarding this issue...yet none of the solutions have worked for me. I've got 11 Mac users that do not use the Creative Suite..only Acrobat, Quark, etc. I've tried installing and re-installing through both Admin and User accounts, I've tried the AdobeBib XML change, I've tried enabling Root and installing, changing permission on the Acrobat folder, etc. all to no avail. I still get asked for Admin Authentication every time Acrobat and Distiller are opened (except on the Admin account side). This is happening on one particular Mac (G4, 1GB Ram, OS 10.4.3) for both Acrobat Standard 6 and 7 as well. The biggest issue that also happens in tandem with the Acrobat installs is the inability to print from Quark. I get the following error when printing: "The process "pictwpstops" terminated unexpectedly on signal 6." Because of the necessity to print Quark documents, I have uninstalled all Acrobat on the machines until we can get a fix. This resolves the printing problem with Quark. The only option left is to set up all users as Admin accounts - which I really do not want to do. Any other suggestions out there? I've got more information available if needed.

  • How to force password policy requirements on password resets for user accounts reset by the Administrator?

    OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
    Domain Level: 2008
    Forest Level: 2000
    We have Domain Administrators in our domain that reset passwords for user accounts, and the passwords the Administrators set them to are not being enforced follow our default domain password policy. For example, I log on the domain controller, as an administrator
    and can reset a password for a user account to be blank. 
    Is there a reason Domain Administrator password resets for user accounts are not enforced by our default domain password policy? Is there a way to enforce this on password resets by Domain Admins? 

    Do you have fine grant password policy? If not ; by default all the usrs are effected by domain level password policy even domain admins,

  • How to enable login screen which doesn't require a password

    I'm setting up an image for a computer lab. The computers that are currently in this lab auto login. However, in the off case that a student accidentally (or maybe purposefully) locks the computer, we want them to be able to simply click the user account
    picture and it logs in without asking for a password. The current Windows 7 PCs in this lab work that way, but whoever set them up can't remember how this was accomplished and I can't figure out for the life of me how to get it done. Currently, if I lock the
    PC, it just brings me to the login screen with a blank username & blank password field.
    These machines are not on the domain. Does anyone have any idea how to get this behavior out of the login screen?

    BYPASS LOGIN
    Open a Run window (Windows Logo key+R), type netplwiz and press Enter. Remove the tick from “Users must enter a user name and password” > OK. You may have to type the user account name/password just the once to complete the process.
    BYPASS ENTERING A PASSWORD AFTER WAKEUP
    To bypass entering a password after hibernation, go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Power Options > Require a password on wakeup (in the left pane) and put a check mark in Don’t require a password.

  • Server 2003: make user template with read-only access for shared folders

    I have need to make a type of user (like Administrator, Power User, Mobile User, User, etc.) that has read-only acess to shared folders. So when I make a new user and assign the "read-only user" template I wish to have, the user can open files
    in the shared folders on the server, but not edit, save or delete files. Other users can and should remain able to edit, save & delete.
    Before I dig in, is this even possible?

    You could create a Group called ReadOnly, and set that to have Read on the ACLs of the relevant files or folders.
    Make that template user a member of that group.
    As long as they are not also a member of another group that gives them higher permissions, this would work.
    Otherwise set the ReadOnly group to deny Write, which would over ride any other permission set.
    So,
    Folder A
    ACL:
    ReadOnly : R
    Users: Read/Write
    If a user is a member of Users & ReadOnly, they would get read/write to Folder A. As permissions are cumulative.
    If you did the following:
    Folder A
    ACL:
    ReadOnly : R
    ReadOnly: Deny Write
    Users: Read/Write
    The users in ReadOnly would be denied write, as it overrides the cumulative permissions.

  • TS1398 After updating to ios 6 my iphone 4 would no longer connect to my home wifi. At work we have a free wifi connection that does not require a password. However my wifi at home is password protected. I have the right password. It works on my ipod touc

    After updating my iphone 4 with the ios 6 update. My iphone would no longer connect to my home wifi that is password protected. I know that I have the right password entered in. At work we have a free wifi connection that does not require a password and I can connect no problem to it. My ipod touch has no problem connecting to my home wifi. It is a 3rd gen ipod and does not have the ios 6 update on it. Please help!

    I'm having the same issues. Started when I upgraded iphone 4S and ipad1 to 5.1.1. Wife's iphone 4g on 4.4.2 has been ok. I've forgot the network on both devices and restored the iphone, none of which changed the issue. I've upgraded to ios 6 on the iphone 4s, problem still persists.
         One thing that will help for a time: go to your router and change the wireless control channel. When I first did this I got full connectivity for about 48 hours... and now the problem is back. I'm now changing the wireless control channel every 12 hours, which is a pain but at least keeps me connected. I've tried a few other solutions that are out there and that has been the best one so far.
         to do this on a motorola router: type 192.168.0.1 in your address bar.
    username: admin and password:motorola if you have not changed the factory defaults.
    Click on the word "wireless" and look for the "control channel" field. This may be set to auto or to 1, try changing it to 6 or 11 (preferred) or any other channel.
    The control channel can cause static in the wireless system IF there are several networks nearby that are on the default setup.
    There is a fair bit of buzz about this issue out there, some other things I've seen:
    This is a hardware issue. Go to the store and have your wifi antenna checked, some users reporting that they get free replacement devices.
    Check against other wifi networks that require a password (this is next for me). Logon to those networks and surf until your wifi stops. If your wifi connects to the internet but stops responding, then this is a software (or hardware) issue and apple needs to step up. Some are claiming this to be the case.
    IF you connect and stay connected/on the internet on another password protected wifi, then the issue is with your router. this is where things get cute.
    Comcast may tell you to update your firmware. Motorola may tell you that your cable provider is the only one who can push through firmware updates. Comcast may tell you that you are not in an area that is being updated. It's unclear if they say that to all customers, or just those who have purchased cable modems and aren't renting them from comcast.
    Good luck, more to come if I figure out anything else, and please post any solutions you may find.

  • How can I require a password to be entered in order to install a program/software? (NOT the MasterPassword Option)

    I'm NOT looking for Master Password. I DON'T want to require a password in order to start/open Fire Fox.
    I want anyone trying to download or install a program/software on the computer to have to enter a password, and otherwise not be able to complete the installation.
    People visiting my mother keep installing junk on her computer and keep jamming it up with stupid programs and games.

    though not really a firefox issue - create a password protected administrator account on the pc & turn the freely accessible account into a restricted user account.

  • User template folder moved to trash how to put back in sytem library

    moved user template folder to trash by mistake how do i put it back in the system library

    Then, you should have gotten an authentication dialog box, assuming that the account is an admin one. If not, then you'll have to change the permissions on the folder. To do that, launch the Terminal.app in /Applications/Utilities/, copy and paste in this one-liner into the window that pops up, hit the return key. at the Password: prompt, carefully enter your admin password (since nothing shows up in the window), and hit the return key.
    sudo chmod -R root:admin ~/Desktop/Library
    When the normal $ prompt returns, copy & paste this one-line in and hit the return key:
    sudo mv ~/Desktop/Library /System/
    That should do the trick, moving the correctly permissioned folder back to its normal place. If so, it should be safe to restart the machine. If not, then my next suggestion is to reinstall the software.

  • Altering default user template in 10.6

    Hello,
    Can anyone post explicit instructions for the simplest way of altering the default new user template in Snow Leopard? I need to alter the template so when a new account is created, it already has the bookmarks, settings, desktop image, etc that my office requires.
    I'd prefer to do it Terminal because I'm guessing it will be a lot quicker than any GUI method (if there even is one). I've gotten conflicting information whether it's necessary to log in as root for this. Can it be done with sudo commands? I'm a relative UNIX noob, so explicit directions are appreciated!
    Thanks!

    The only thing UNIX about it is to make sure you get all the permissions correct.
    Run "sudo bash" to get a root shell. Then copy the folder "/System/Library/User Template" somewhere else so you can work on it. Change permissions on the COPY so that you can work on it. You could use the Finder or "chmod". After adjusting all the settings the way you want, copy it back, adjusting permissions to match the original.

  • Website default folder requires system password for any change

    So i turned on my OSX Server's websites section and seems to work fine. The next step of course would be to drop in a folder of one
    of my old projects, but the server requires my password on ever new folder I create or copy to the directory.
    How do I stop this so I can add folders and create new files in my webserver directory without being botherd to enter a password every time?

    I right clicked on the sites default folder and then under shareing and permissions I clicked the + button and added my user and set the permissions to Read and Write.

  • User template in Lion?

    Hello everybody..
    Why can't i make user templates in Lion like i could with snow leopard and leopard etc.
    I follow the same guide as Snow Leopard but, it won't work?
    /System/Library/User Templates
    Do anybody know, what i am doing wrong?
    Greetings Alex...

    What up fellow MacHeads. Try this:
    Found it on MacWorld
    1: Still valid for 10.7 Lion.
    2: Remeber to NOT copy(or remove) the Login.keychain on the account you use to set it up.
    Otherwise the login will complain that it could not unlock the keychain, and promt for your setup-password.. ;-)
    The first login will auto-create the login.keychain anyway, so simply delete it in the Template.
    3: Don't leave Finder windows open. They will point to your setup account, and not have access.. ;-)
    4: On Lion, clear out ~/Library/Saved Application State
    Otherwise the apps you had open under the setup user will open in states not so good (like web sessions etc..)
    5: Remember to copy the files into the language of the Login Window language!!!
    Pr. default, that is English, but if you selected something else during the OS install, like Danish, you need to copy the files into "User Template/da.lproj" and not "User Template/English.lproj" !!

  • Leopard Default User Template

    Hi,
    I used to be able to create a customised default user template in Tiger by copying my customised account to the /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj folder.
    In leopard however new accounts are not getting the customised settings.
    My method is as follows:
    Create temp account
    Login to temp account and customise all my settings such as desktop image, icons, finder preferences, dock, program preferences, printers, etc.
    before logging out I delete the login keychain, references and files. Clear out the ~/Library/Caches folder.
    logout and into and admin account.
    Run terminal
    su - to enable root user
    copy the current default template to a backup area using..
    cp -R /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/* /backup are path
    Then clear it out
    rm -R /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/*
    Then copy the new one in
    cp -R /Users/Temp/* /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj
    All the files and folders copy over but when I login with a new account none of the customised settings are used.
    Any ideas on how to get this working?

    Situation I can authenticate network users to LDAP on our Novell server. Our Novell server does not have mappings for Apple computers though so it is just basic authentication. I was able to script mapping of the appropriate volumes as a start up item in the dock because some of our servers can connect as AFP servers.
    The problem is after they authenticate through LDAP at the login screen they all get dumped into the root users profile and they have root user powers. Even after I disabled the root user.
    I wanted them to use the custom default profile I made. I created a temp user called student customized it copied its profile to the default user profile location. With the instructions you posted above. If I create a new user in account preferences it uses that custom profile fine BUT network users always login as the / a root user.
    I could possibly use the root user because we want to lock down the harddrive with deepfreeze. BUT the Novell iPrint program required for users to print does not work at all in this crazy Fake Root user environment.
    What am I missing to get my Mac to use my custom profile.

  • HP Laserjet 1300 began requiring "lpadmin" password to print. Formerly, no problem.

    My HP Laserjet 1300 printer formerly printed with no problems.  Suddenly, it began requiring "lpadmin password" before continuing to print.  It does this regardless of the originating application (Word, Excel, Entourage, Adobe Acrobat).  I have tried unplugging the printer and restarting my computer (MacBook Pro circa 2009 running OS 10.5.8) without success.  I am wondering if the "lpadmin password" is a remnant from a prior user?  I originally bought this printer as a surplus from a computer consultant who was upgrading a business's printers.  Does anyone know how to circumvent/eliminate the "lpadmin password"?  Thanks, Ken
