Run program as different user

Hey there guys, how can i run a program as a different user in fluxbox?

this will allow you to run applications as a different user in an X session. It's not mine - I got it from somewhere but I don't remember it anymore.
#!/bin/sh
# usage is:
# save as ~/script-name
# chmod +x script-name
# ~/xsu username 'programname &'
# ex:
# ~/xsu john 'firefox &'
if [ $# -lt 2 ]
then echo "usage: `basename $0` clientuser command" >&2
exit 2
fi
CLIENTUSER="$1"
shift
# FD 4 becomes stdin too
exec 4>&0
xauth list "$DISPLAY" | sed -e 's/^/add /' | {
# FD 3 becomes xauth output
# FD 0 becomes stdin again
# FD 4 is closed
exec 3>&0 0>&4 4>&-
exec su - "$CLIENTUSER" -c \
"xauth -q <&3
exec env DISPLAY='$DISPLAY' "'"$SHELL"'" -c '$*' 3>&-"

ORA-04062 error when running forms with different users

ORA-04062 error when running forms with different users
I have a form that has a block that should display some data from another users tables. (The other user's name is dynamic, it's selected from a list box)
I wrote a stored procedure to get the data from other user's tables.
When I compile the form and run it with the same user I compiled, it works without any error. But when I run the compiled form with another user I get the ORA-04062 (signature of procedure has been changed) error.
I tried setting REMOTE_DEPENDENCIES_MODE to SIGNATURE in init.ora but it didn't help.
My Forms version is 6i with Patch 15.
Database version is 9.
Here is my stored procedure:
TYPE Scenario_Tab IS TABLE OF NUMBER(34) INDEX BY BINARY INTEGER;
TYPE Open_Curs IS REF CURSOR;
PROCEDURE Get_Scenarios(User_Name IN VARCHAR2, Scen_Table OUT Scenario_Tab) IS
Curs Open_Curs;
i NUMBER;
BEGIN
OPEN Curs FOR
'SELECT Seq_No FROM '|| User_Name ||'.scenario';
i := 1;
LOOP
FETCH Curs INTO Scen_Table(i);
EXIT WHEN Curs%NOTFOUND;
i := i + 1;
END LOOP;
END Get_Senarios;
I would be happy to solve this problem. It's really important.
Maybe somebody can tell me another way to do what I want to do. (getting a list of values from another users tables)

I think it should be a better solution to create a package,
and put your own TYPES and procedure into it.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE PKG_XXX IS
TYPE TYP_TAB_CHAR IS TABLE OF .... ;
PROCEDURE P_XX ( Var1 IN VARCHAR2, var2 IN OUT TYP_TAB_CHAR );
END ;
Then in your Form :
Declare
var PKG_XXX.TYP_TAB_CHAR ;
Begin
PKG_XXX.P_XX( 'user_name', var ) ;
End ;

Run Coding as different user

Hello,
I would like a user to run a report. This report calls a SAP standard BAPI which performs an authorization check before executing its functionality.
The user has no authorization to perform the action of the BAPI and so it fails. Anyhow we dont want to add this function to the user role. He would be able to do other things then as well then which are restricted by our program logic.
Is it somehow possible to run a method or function module with a different user? So not the user who runs the BAPI but the program itself takes care of the authorization?
We cant do it via batch input as it needs to be online.
The only option I see is running the BAPI not internally but via a RFC destination with a loop back on the system to use the RFC user.
But if somebody has a cool and smart idea I would appreciate it very much!
Thanks,
Hendrik

I guess you can use a Remote Function call with the destination as the same system, and call make the Function to execute.
call <RFC>
destination <self>...

Running jobs as different users

The job I am creating in the Job Scheduler needs to run SQL as several different users. I have heard that 11g will allow this. However I am wondering whether there is any way to do it in 10gR2. I have tried to embed a CONNECT user/password within the PL/SQL block as EXECUTE IMMEDIATE and stand alone. Nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any suggestions on a way to do this before 11g?

Hi,
The Scheduler can run stored procedures and pl/sql blocks but it runs all PL/SQL as the job owner. The limitation of not being able to run different SQL as different users is a PL/SQL limitation.
There is a workaround however. For each SQL that needs to run as a particular user create a PL/SQL stored procedure in that user's schema . By default (do not use the authid current_user clause) these stored procedures run with the privileges of their owner. Then grant execute on these stored procedures to the job owner. Now the job owner can call any of these procedures when he needs to run SQL as another user.
One thing to watch out for is that stored procedures do not use role privileges , so do not rely on role privileges in your SQL statements.
This should do what you need.
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

Run VLC as different user, no sound!

Hello,
I have two users in my computer. The first one is for work, and the other one is for personal use. I have some musics, and videos in my personal account. I would like to play them even if I logged in as another user. I logged in as work user, and type the following command:
$ su --command=vlc personal
It seems that VLC is playing, but there is no sound! I close VLC, and run it as work user, and here is the sound!
Am I missing something?

Yes, that is the problem I guess, and I am going to jump off a building.

How do I have an exe in a logon script run as a different user (either a domain admin or even the local system account)

So, I'm having some problems getting a logon script to work. I need a way to deploy the agent that we use via login/startup scripts and what I have works fine if the user has admin rights, or if UAC is disabled. I've tried to convert the .exe
to an .msi to make it easier, but the .msi never works and it's only distributed as an .exe. We deploy this to different clients, I can't disable UAC in their environment unless they specifically tell us to. Can anyone think of a way around this?
I've been searching for days and I'm just lost. If we could execute the file as the system account, or connect to shares using a startup script instead of logon, that would be perfect. Basically what it does is check to see if the process for the
agent is running (agentmon.exe) so we don't attempt to install it if it is already installed, if it's not, then it calls on a different agent installer depending on the IP address of the system (for clients that have more than one location). Here's what
I've got written that works for me in my test environment:

You need to read the documentation carefully:
The Deploy Agents install package is created using a Configure Automatic Account Creation wizard. The wizard copies agent settings from an existing machine ID or machine ID template and generates an install package called
KcsSetup.All settings and pending agent procedures from the machine ID you copy from—except the machine ID, group ID, and organization ID—are applied to every new machine ID created with the package.
Including Credentials in Agent Install Packages
If necessary, an agent install package can be created that includes an administrator
credentialto access a customer network. Credentials are only necessary if users are installing
packages on machines and do not have administrator access to their network. The administrator credential is encrypted, never available in clear text form, and bound to the install package.

Itunes has stopped working. This comes up everytime I launch ITUNES. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, removed support programs reinstalled support programs, created different user and problem still persists. Quicktime and Safari launch fine. Just itunes.

Itunes isn't working properly. I get this message every time I try and open Itunes. I've uninstalled, reinstalled itunes and all the support programs. Quicktime and Safari launch fine. Tried it with Nortons antivirus turned on and turned off etc. I've gone through the Apple Support file and removed the itunes preference files, I've started in safe mode and it still persists. This only started about a week ago when I changed over to my Iphone 4s. My phone loaded fine and backed up etc and now NOTHING....

I had a similar error, but relating to a different .dll file and on 32-bit Win7. I think I isolated the problem to Norton Internet Security 2012 v 18.6.0.29 - iTunes would start fine with NAV Antivirus Auto-Protect disabled but crashed if Auto-Protect was on. I tried running iTunes as administrator (right click on the icon and select "Run as Administrator"; to make this permanent right click on the icon > Properties > On the Shortcut tab, click Advanced > tick Run as Administrator) and iTunes now runs fine. Maybe give that a try?

Run package with different user - SUSER does not work in DM Package

Hi,
we need to be able to start a DM package for which the username needs to be changed from your own to a fixed username ...
So in the BPC DM package we enter a fix value for variable SUSER (instead of %USER). However the DM package is still being executed with the user launicn the DM package ... We can see this for example the SQE BADI .. In the DM log the fixed username is being mentioned but it is being executed with your own username ...
The reason why we have this requirement, is to bypass the lacking functionality of a decent security model and to allow a certain (automated) data posting by means of a seperate DM package ...The user only has access to one specific profit center. However for one specific data posting, it needs to be able to have access to all profit centers. We want to achieve this by letting him execute a certain DM package with a fix user, having all the necessary security rights ...
Apperantly the parameter SUSER in the task prompt has no relevance ...

Hi,
I came up with a different solution to this in the end.
You need to set WRITE = OFF in your script logic and handle the write back in your code - see below.
The following steps need to happen after you've completed all of your data manipulation in the BAdI and you are ready to do the write back.
Set Up
Step 1: Set up the impersonation 'domain\name' in BPC Administration -> Set Application Parameters
BAdI code
Step 2: Retrieve this parameter in the BAdI using method GET_PARAM_VALUE of class CL_UJA_APPLICATION
Step 3: Call cl_uj_context=>get_cur_context to get the current context
Step 4: Replace the user id in the context with the value retrieved in Step 2
Step 5: Call cl_uj_context=>set_cur_context to set the context with the new user id
Step 6: Call method write_back_int of cl_ujr_write_back to do the write back
Step 7: Reset the context back to the original user
Here is the code we used - it refers to some internal parameters and variables we have created here so can't be lifted 'as is' but should give sufficent information to replicate this functionality:
****Step 1: Get the application parameter*
TRY.
    create object lo_application exporting i_appset_id       = i_appset_id
                                           i_application_id = i_appl_id .
    lo_application->GET_PARAM_VALUE( EXPORTING I_PARAM_NAME = i_param_name
                                     RECEIVING R_VALUE      = e_param_value ).
    CATCH CX_UJA_ADMIN_ERROR .
*   RAISE ERROR HERE
      exit.
ENDTRY.
****Step 2: Change the user**
* Grab Current Context
lo_context = cl_uj_context=>get_cur_context( ).
ls_user = lo_context->ds_user.
ls_original_user = ls_user.
concatenate l_impersonate_domain '\' l_impersonate_name into ls_user-user_id.
try.
*     Change user so that the data can be written back
      call method cl_uj_context=>set_cur_context
        EXPORTING
          i_appset_id   = i_appset_id
          is_user       = ls_user
          i_appl_id     = i_appl_id
          i_module_name = lo_context->d_calling_module.
    catch cx_uj_obj_not_found.
*   RAISE ERROR HERE
       exit.
endtry.
****Step 3: Perform the write back*
create data lo_error like it_data.
assign lo_error->* to <fs_t_error_records>.
ls_work_status-module_id = cl_ujk_model=>g_module_id.
try.
      create object lo_write_back.
      call method lo_write_back->write_back_int
        EXPORTING
          is_work_status     = ls_work_status
          i_default_logic    = abap_false
          i_update_audit     = abap_true
          i_duplicate        = abap_true
          i_mdata_check      = abap_true
          i_sign_trans       = ' '
          it_array           = it_data
          i_measures_formula = ' '
        IMPORTING
          et_message         = lt_message
          es_status_records = l_status
          et_error_records   = <fs_t_error_records>.
    catch cx_ujr_write_back cx_uj_db_error cx_uja_admin_error cx_uj_static_check into lo_exp.
*   RAISE ERROR HERE
    exit.
endtry.
if l_status-nr_fail > 0.
*   RAISE ERROR HERE
    exit.
endif.
**** Step 4: Change the context back to original*
try.
      call method cl_uj_context=>set_cur_context
        EXPORTING
          i_appset_id   = i_appset_id
          is_user       = ls_original_user
          i_appl_id     = i_appl_id
          i_module_name = lo_context->d_calling_module.
    catch cx_uj_obj_not_found.
*   RAISE ERROR HERE
      exit.
endtry.

I cant install firefox, i dont get passed the 1st base extraction process. another window appears (Run as: * current user * run as a different user ) and nothing else happens in both selections.. please i need help with that

i have windows 7 installed 64bit, more browsers are already operating (opera, avant, flock, chrome..) not experiencing any troubles at all with my OS.

Use GPP for this. Do not use a script. Post your issues in the GP forum.

Run SAP Lumira as Different User

Hi.
We have installed Lumira in Win 7 machine, When we tried to start Lumira as a different user (Users are having Two Different Windows AD Account) by giving"Run as a Different User', the Lumira just stuck and not opening up completly.
I can see two diffrent processes. in task manager. First one is the default one.
C:\Program Files\SAP Lumira\Desktop\SAPLumira.exe
and the second one is
C:\Program Files\SAP Lumira\Desktop\cefframe\SAPLumira.exe
Both the process are not responding and CPU Utilization is 0 and Memory utlization is constant.
Anyone faced such and issue or whats the solution for this?
Your help is much Appriciated.

Hi,
@Sharon,
We have a standard edition.
@Henry
We have tried it after changing these details to some common paths in the config file already, but unfortunatly, the same issue is there.
I have already raised this with SAP support team. and as per the support engineer, she/he is not aware of this functionality and asked us to raise a enhansement request...

Windows 8.1 Run as different user from search function

Hi There,
After about a year of Windows 8 I was actually quite enjoying the ability to type a program name in start menu and then use right click to run as a different user. which is achieved via changing local security policy (i.e. running rsat tools
as a domain admin account etc). However, Now that Microsoft have decided that a search bar should appear when you start typing from the start menu, although this now displays the applications in the sidebar you can no longer right click and run as different
user. This means that for me windows 8.1 is now less user friendly than its older brother. Has this function been implemented and am I just missing something?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Based on my research, on the windows 8.1,we could add "Run as different user" on Start in Group Policy.
Please perform the following steps:
1.Press Win+R, and type"gpedit.msc",then press Enter.
2.In the left pane, click/tap on to expand User Configuration, Administrative Templates, and open Start Menu and Taskbar.
3.In the right pane of Start Menu and Taskbar, double click/tap on Show "Run as different user" command on Start.
4.Select Enabled, click/tap on OK.
5.Reboot the computer.
Hope these could be helpful.

Using "Run as different user"

Is there a way to make a shortcut to a program so that it will prompt you for credentials every time. I know if you hold down Shift and right click you can get the Run as different user (which is what I want). I just want to save a step because I use the program all the time, but need domain credentials to make any changes. AD, GP Managment etc...
Windows XP had the functionality by setting the advanced properties of the shortcut to Run with different credentials. Windows 7 only has run as administrator in the advanced shortcut properties., which doesn't work because its local admin not domain admin.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi
Actually, this command was completely removed in Windows Vista and was added back to the Windows 7 extended right click context menu. :))
You can use the same 'fix' that was used in Vista. Go to the following Microsoft website and download the ShellRunas utility.
Sysinternals - ShellRunas
Unzip the file and place a copy of ShellRunas.exe in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
Create a shortcut to the executable that you want to run as a different user.
Right click the shortcut and select Properties.
Place the following command at the beginning of the Target line so that the command looks like this.
C:\Windows\System32\ShellRunas.exe <path to shortcut target>
(Be sure to include the space after shellrunas.exe)
You can also add the Run As Different User to the normal right click context menu.
Open an elevated command prompt and enter the following command.
shellrunas /reg
Press ENTER.
Hope this helps.
Thank You for using Windows 7

How do I run a shell script as a different user

I'm setting up a daily.local file to put in the /etc directory. This file will then be run as root but the file contains a script that must be run as a different user.
Here's what I've tried.
su - differentuser path/to/script/script.sh parameter1 parameter2
I'm getting an error with the script because the parameters are not being passed. The script worked fine in 10.4.11 Server but 10.5.8 Server doesn't like it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Bart

CF10 Enterprise, multi-instance w/different user accounts

Running CF10-Enterprise, 10,0,9,284568 with Update 9. This is running under JDK 1.7.0_21, and is fronted by Apache 2.2.x and all runs under RHEL6.x. It seems to work fine
In short - is it possible to create a new instance, and have that new instance run as a different user than the "main" instance? If so, what trouble does it cause?
In more detail...
The main reason we'd like to have a separate Instance is for "complete" isolation, to prevent one CF process or instance from affecting another, vs having one CF instance and just a lot of websites under it. Service isolation is a policy.
I spin up a new Instance (CF Admin -> Enterprise Manager -> Instance Manager), and start it. It runs as the user "cfusion", which is the same user that the main instance runs as. I'd prefer it to run as another user, namely the user that owns the site this instance is for. So if I have site www.site1.com owned by user site1, I'd like the CF java process to run as user site1 as well, and not the cfusion user.
In the past, this "complete" isolation was managed by deploying CF9 as a WAR file and running it under Tomcat. Each website had its own user in /etc/passwd, and that was the user the CF-under-Tomcat process ran as, the files were owned by that user, etc. But CF10 (currently at least) doesn't support being run as a WAR file under Tomcat.
The files in /opt/coldfusion10/ are owned by the user cfusion. An instance I created is in /opt/coldfusion10/testsite/. Could I chown -R testsite:testsite /opt/coldfusion10/testsite/ (user named same as instance name)? And the run /opt/coldfusion10/testsite/bin/coldfusion start, as the user testsite?
I'd lose the ability to easily manage this instance from the main CF Administrator site, such as Updates. Under CF9, the update process sucked and was manual and I had to do it for each site anyway (sigh.) But CF10 has a nice(r) update method, and I'd lose that. But if that's the only thing I lose, and I have to manually update each instance, I guess I can live with that (no different than what I'm doing now, still easier though under CF10.)
I suspect this is just simple lack-of-knowledge on my part (as are many things in my life.)
Thank you,
PH

Sorry, no. I haven't found a way to do this, if I want to manage it all from the primary CF instance. I can, of course, manipulate each instance independently. But that does rather defeat the purpose of having multiple instances via the Instance Manager.
I haven't looked in to it much more. I could probably hack together a combination of password-less sudo and editing of the coldfusion start/stop scripts. But I don't think that level of editing would be a good idea, not to mention if there ever is a CF update that might specifically rely on unaltered scripts.

How to access Sharepoint List using a Different user. Access SharePoint List using some Authentication

Hi,
SharePoint version 2010
I am building an application in Java and would want to accesss a SharePoint List through REST. I have been trying to find out how the authentication process would work once i want to deploy it into Production.
I am not able to find anything useful to send user detail / authentication. Can you please help me out here.
Thanks,
Bhaskar.
Thanks, Bhaskar

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to access SharePoint list from Java application through REST.
In some cases you may need to create a new access token (this is somewhat akin to "running as a different user").
Essentially, you are using a different user's security context. Typically, you would create an Active Directory account specifically for this purpose and then grant appropriate rights to the user account in SharePoint.
