Hi,
Is there any power shell script i could use for this to change?
Pre-written? Probably not. You can check the repository though:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter
You'll probably have to write something yourself. These might help get you started:

Read this before doing anything with the last one:

I didn't know about that particular quirk until a few minutes ago.

WLST script for changing password for userid in Weblogic 9.2

Hello Everyone,
We want to change password for userid in weblogic 9.2. Is there a way we can do this by using WLST script? If so please provide me with steps for doing that using WLST. Thanks in advance.
- - Weblogic Consultant

Did you try going to the WLST documentation and searching for it? Go to [http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs92/pdf/config_scripting.pdf] and search for "Changing a Password". The example there seems to be what you need.

Disable change password in the file sharing window

I have two labs, 25 computers per lab. One is running Lion, the other is running Snow Leopard. When file sharing to other computers in both labs on our network, it is required that you enter a password before you can access the files. Lion offers the option to change that password for certain computers when file sharing with them. I need to disable this feature so students cannot change the passwords randomly. The students may not be able to change the password for other Lion computers, due to parental controls that I have set, I'm not positive, but they can change the password for a Snow Leopard computer, and my network people do not want me putting Lion on all of the computers, therefore this is not an option. Is there any way for me to disable this feature?

Hey, password file is a binary file, you are not suppose to do that.

Indesign Post Script name changing to back up file name

Hi all
I am in a pre press workflow that requires that I write a post-script file to a hot folder.
So saving as a post-script is the only option for our entire workflow to take place.
When saving the post script file from indesign , the name defaults to the back up file name which is
not similar to the original file name. We deal with an extremely large number of pages
and need for this file name to stay the same as the original not the back up. Manually putting these file names
in is a serious chance for error and takes too much time.
Does anyone know how to prevent the name from changing?
Thanks for any help.

You should be posting to the InDesign or Acrobat forum. Please repost there giving them your version of InDesign and Acrobat. Detail you method of creating the postscript file. You should be printing to file using the Adobe PDF printer instance. I only suggest the InDesign forum, since the print dialog box in InDesign is not a standard Windows Print dialog box.

A script to change back to original file names??

Hi,
I'm looking for a script for iPhoto that will give some photos back their original file names?
or any way of doing that?
cheers

I have used apple scripts to correct time and dates?
can this cause a problem?
Probably not - although iPhoto probably will not recognize the modified information - but it is not a good idea to modify anything in the iPhoto library except using iPhoto - iPhoto '08 and later have a command to modify date and time - I do not think iPhoto 6 did, although its been a ling time now

Change password with apple script

HI there,
i'm using the do shell script "dscl . -passwd /Users/my username 1"
it runs without problems but its not changing the password.
please advise,
Rafi.

You are using "-test" instead of "-passwd" for starters
then you have a space in the username:
do shell script "dscl . -test /Users/ rafi test 123"
should be
do shell script "dscl . -password /Users/rafi test 123"
I am not an expert in dscl, but the best way for you to test whether do shell script is going to work is to run it in Terminal first.

Is it possible to monitor State change of a .CSV file using powershell scripting ?

Hi All,
I just would like to know Is it possible to monitor State change of a .CSV file using powershell scripting ? We have SCOM tool which has that capability but there are some drawbacks in that for which we are not able to utilise that. So i would like
to know is this possible using powershell.
So if there is any number above 303 in the .CSV file then i need a email alert / notification for the same.
Gautam.75801

Hi Jrv,
Thank you very much. I modified the above and it worked.
Import-Csv C:\SCOM_Tasks\GCC2010Capacitymanagement\CapacityMgntData.csv | ?{$_.Mailboxes -gt 303} | Export-csv -path C:\SCOM_Tasks\Mbx_Above303.csv;
Send-MailMessage -Attachments "C:\SCOM_Tasks\Mbx_Above303.csv" -To “[email protected]" -From “abc@xyz" -SMTPServer [email protected] -Subject “Mailboxex are above 303 in Exchange databases” -Body “Mailboxex are above 303 in Exchange databases"
Mailboxex - is the line which i want to monitor if the values there are above 303. And it will extract the lines with all above 303 to another CSV file and 2nd is a mail script to email me the same with the attachment of the 2nd extract.

Script to change a character in a file and opening it in Numbers

Hello,
Is there an easy way with Applescript to replace all the "," with a "; " in a csv file and open it in Numbers ? The best would be to be able to drag/drop the file over an icon in the dock to do that.
Thank you

Yes, it's easy to do, but depends on the complexity of the csv file. For instance, if you're sure that the csv is simple (in the sense that commas only appear as delimiters and never occur inside text data), then the following will work. Save it as a script application and then drop your files on it):
on open csvFiles
          repeat with thisFile in csvFiles
                    set fp to open for access thisFile with write permission
                    set csvText to read fp
                    set csvSplitText to tid of csvText by ","
                    set csvNewText to tid of csvSplitText by ";"
set eof fp to 0
write csvNewText to fp
close access fp
          end repeat
end open
on tid of input by delim
-- handler for text items
          set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, delim}
          if class of input is list then
                    set output to input as text
          else
                    set output to text items of input
          end if
          set my text item delimiters to oldTID
          return output
end tid
If you have a more complx csv format and you have to account for commas that are within text data, then it would help to know more about the structure of the document. I mean, it could be done generically, but I'd rather not fiddle with the code if I don't have to.

Jython having issue importing weblogic modules for changing passwords

I am trying to import some WLST modules into a Jython script as outline in the documentation at http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs92/config_scripting/config_WLS.html#wp1019971
The strange thing is that it says it is a WLST script, but it appears to be a Jython script. I tried performing this import using WLST interactive mode, but this did not work.
I am passing the passwords as encrypted strings while using the encrypt() function
Here is the script:
import sys
from weblogic.management.security.authentication import UserPasswordEditorMBean
#To be invoked by java -cp /usr/local/bea/wlserver_10.0/common/lib/jython.jar org.python.util.jython
#usage: wlst.sh ResetWLPassword.py <current_pass> <user> <new_pass> <adminServerURL>
#{3DES}/asdfadsf== -
#{3DES}asdfafdsadsf== -
myPass = sys.argv[1]
myUser = sys.argv[2]
newPass = sys.argv[3]
adminServerURL = sys.argv[4]
#Connect
try:
connect('weblogic',myPass,adminServerURL)
except:
print "Could not connect using supplied credentials"
dumpStack()
try:
print "Changing password ..."
atnr=cmo.getSecurityConfiguration().getDefaultRealm().lookupAuthenticationProvider("DefaultAuthenticator")
atnr.changeUserPassword(myUser,myuser,newPass)
print "Changed password successfully"
except:
print "Password change failed"
dumpStack()
I am receiving the following error message:
java -cp /usr/local/bea/wlserver_10.0/common/lib/jython.jar org.python.util.jython /tmp/ResetWLPassword.py "{3DES}/adsfadsfadsf==" weblogic "{3DES}asdfadsfasd== " t3://localhost:7003

You are calling org.python.util.jython again instead of weblogic.WLST like I advised in my first post. Invoke WLST (not jython) and pass your values in cleartext. Like I said in my previous post, I was able to execute your script without issue when calling WLST and passing cleartext values (I did have to modify one line to due a bug in your script -- see my prior posts).This seems to work in terms of getting the code to run, but there is still a problem with passing the arguments to the changeUserPassword() method.
I entered the sequence of commands in the script manually into WLST and it works without issue. It even works without the import, which is strange that Oracle includes it in their documentation.
I am going to post the code here, perhaps there is something wrong syntax-wise with the way I am authenticating, but I can't put my finger on it.

Maxl Script will not write to error file for data laod.

Sorry Glenn here is the new thread. I re ran without the semi colon after data 3 and the same error came up without anything being written to the error file.
I purposely removed a member from the orginal outline that is included in the data loaded but yet the error file is not written to. I tried doing the load manually but executing it in the background, error file is to be created on my local HD but it does not write it there. Checked the output and it is written to a directory located on the server. Although i think this is normal.
Could it be that it will not write to a local drive? I am going to try specifying a spot on the server to see if it runs there.
thanks
Original post below.
Hello,
I am also having this issue.
I will include my script below but will state some details before
We are on Essbase 11.1.1.3
I am running Admin Console from my client PC that connects to the server in the script and I read that in this set up the error file will not get written to. This documentation was for v 9.1.3
Here is my script (i changed some of the names)
login 'user' 'password' on server';
create application 'Money1' as 'Money2';
spool stderr on to 'errorfile';
import database 'Money1'.'Main' data
from local text data_file 'Money1_Data.txt'
using server rules_file 'Data3'
on error append to 'dataload.err';
execute calculation 'CALC ALL;' on 'Money1'.'Main';
logout;
spool off;
exit;
here is the error output i get:
code line: on error append to 'dataload.err';
Statement executed with warnings.
(3) Syntax error near ['$']
I don't see a dollar sign anywhere in my code and the error file does not get produced.
Also do error files get written too if the actins are executed in the background?
Thanks!
Alex

This works for me in a MaxL script run through essmsh.exe:
import database appname.dbname data from local text data_file "d:\\datafilename.txt" using server rules_file "rulename"
on error write to "d:\\errorfilename.err" ;Sometimes EAS (I think you are running it through that) does weird things to MaxL. I eschew MaxL in EAS as much as possible (like 100% of the time).
NB -- the datafilename and errorfilename and their drive letters are local to wherever you're running this process through the MaxL shell. I don't know how that works when you're running EAS -- are drives local to your session, local to the EAS server? Dunno. Leave EAS behind, buy TextPad (no I am not the author of that fine product) and download the MaxL syntax library, and be happy. :)

Put the MaxL into a code block to get it to display correctly.

Number of days before user must change password.

Hi,
I understand how does this Essbase server setting work:
Essbase Server Properties - Security Tab
"Number of days before user must change password"
But my question is:
Does anyone know how "to mark" certain group of Users (mainly system admin accounts) - that this setting will not force periodical passoword change for "marked" users ?
Any ideas ?
Br, ripasso

There are a couple of things you could do to circumnavigate this all or nothing option.
You could write a maxl statement that would update the user profile to force the user to change their password e.g.
alter user Fiona set password_reset_days immediate;
I would write a program using the API that lists all users in the group and then dynamically create the maxl script that uses the statement above.
If you can not use the API then I guess you could do a maxl only solution (using display user command) and do some text file manipulation in perl (or another scripting language).
There are probably more solutions/ideas out there.

Shell Script to change filename.

I'm need to use the Run Shell Script action to change a filename. Basically I need to drop the ".app" extension of an app on the desktop to get it to appear as a folder.
I know I need to use:
mv TemporaryApp.app TemporaryApp
but am not sure what to use before this to get the shell script to recognize the file.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks, John.
But my requirement as follows,
Is there a way to change user password using passwd command in shell script? I don't want to use expect. use the command passwd, it will ask for old password and then the new password twice.But I want to use it in a script without my interaction. I want to provide new password in a script a than run passwd to change user password. Problem of using passwd in shell script is that passwd requires user interaction to change password and script stops. My question was is there a way to use passwd without interaction or is there other way to change password using shell script.
Thanks

How to allow users to change password

I have enabled users to change their passwords in the Server.app for the Default Site with SSL, and who can access is a group of individuals.
When I load up the Server site, I am presented with
a Login to which I then add my username and password and I am then presented with
Welcome to OS X Server
OS X Server makes it easier than ever for the people in your organization to collaborate, communicate, and share information.
I Choose My Settings and the site is redirected to /changepassword of which a page comes
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /auth/ on this server.
The Directory /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/auth/ exists with the corret permissions. This is an empty directoy tho
Apache Logs:
Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/auth/
I cannot get this to work. WIki's are turned on but that doesnt work either.
If I Launch /wiki, I am prompted to login, to with I do, and i just get a blank web page
Apache logs:
File does not exist: /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/__collabd
This is on a new install of OSX server
Any Suggestions?

Hi,
On the landing page at the bottom it should say "change password".
That brings you to a forbidden page?
On my server I do not have the /auth/ folder in my default site, but my changepassword page does work.
Can you check if going to https://127.0.0.1/changepassword does work? It will give an SSL error.
Then it might be DNS related conflicting with another router/server in your network
Or... charge $ 5 per user to change his or her password personally
Goodluck!

Change Password in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2

Hi All,
We are giving facility to the end users to change the respective password by logging into BI Publisher 11.1.1.6.2 where the Password Change Mechanism has been provided.So when the user change the password in Publisher then the same change will be reflected in OBIEE also.
Now we have defined some rules for setting the password on Web-logic Console.SO when you try to change the password that rules should be applied while changing the password.
Issue is that when you try to change the password in BI Publisher the rules are not getting applied.
any help in this regard.
