Server Auto Login

Hello My Mini Sever 10.9.2 will not auto login on a re-start. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Thanks

For servers having auto-login of a user account is generally considered a security risk. (As cpragman also pointed out.)
The default setting is therefore to disable this ability. You can check the setting and if you really, realy need to change it by opening System Preferences, clicking on Security & Privacy and then in the General tab unticking the 'Disable automatic login' option.
All Apple's own server functions will work fine without you needing to be logged in, in otherwords it can happily be a file server, web server, even an Open Directory server without being logged in.
If you really must have an active login remember to turn on the screen saver after a (short) interval and for it to require a password to be unlocked from the screen saver.

Admin Server auto-login...

I'm wondering if some one out there knows how to do this:
Start the admin server with out a password (I have this part working already)
And not have the console (http://adminserver:7001/console) have the username and
password already filled in.
I've tried using the boot.properties and the -Dweblogic.management.username=username
which successfully by-pass the prompt at startup, but it allows everyone to log
into the console webapp.
So if there's a way to do this, I'd love to know, or if it can't be done, I'd
like to know that too.

Rich,
Unfortunately, there is no way to "auto login" to the admin console. This
is something that could be useful though, so I'll add it to a list of
enhancments to potentially be included in a feature release.
Thanks

Problems joining Wi-Fi networks that require viewing a redirect page in iOS 8.1.1? Check your "Auto-Login" setting.

Are you having problems joining previously used Wi-Fi networks that require you to view a login or redirect page (say to accept Terms of Use) first? The problem could be your Auto-Login Wi-Fi network setting.
I found numerous cases where I could not access in-store Wi-Fi networks (Nordstrom was one), hotel networks or in fact networks where you had to first view a Terms and Conditions page or where you had to login via a web form.
These were all networks I had used before.
This appears to be due to the "Auto-Login" setting assuming that once you (re)join a previously known network you can just go ahead and use it without further action. When the iOS device receives an error trying to use the network, it silently drops the Wi-Fi association.
If this is happening to you, follow these steps:
1) Go to Settings -> Wi-Fi
2) Select the network you want to join
3) When a check-mark appears next to the SSID, press the "i" button on the right hand side
4) Set Auto-Join however you want, but shut off the Auto-Login switch
5) Now attempt to use the network and you should be presented with the usual redirect page with terms you must accept or where you must login to use the Wi-Fi network in question
This cleared up the issue for me everywhere I had previously been having issues.

Just let me get one thing straight...you don't change don't do this for the PC you have your router plugged in to?
"For Vista:
1. Open Control Panel, Network and Internet, Network and Sharing Center, Manage Network Connections
2. If Wireless, Right click on your Wireless Network Connection, otherwise, Right click on Local Area Connection and click Properties
3. Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4)
4. Click Properties
5. Tick Use the Following IP Address and enter the IP you want to use for that PC. I would start at 192.168.0.100(D-Link) and work your way up on each additional device. The second device would be 192.168.0.101, the 3rd, 192.168.0.102 and so on. Like I said, different brands of routers use different IP's, so it could be 192.168.1.100 and so on, so you will need to know the IP address of your router first.
6. Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 on all pc's and devices
7. Default Gateway is 192.168.0.1(D-Link) or whatever your router's IP is on all pc's and devices
8. Tick Use the Following DNS Server Address and enter 192.168.0.1(D-Link) or whatever your router's IP is and click OK.
9. You will need to do this on all Vista Pc's"

Help required on configuring Auto Login...!

Hi All,
I'm using SUn ONE Webserver Service Pack 9. And once after starting my Web Server instance and when ever I invoke my application url (http://localhost:8080/) It automatically takes me inside the application. I need to remove this auto login configuration. Because whenever I use Logout and login using some other user_id. It still logs in as the same Auto login user name.
Kindly help me.
Thanks in advance.
SAM

Hi,
I resolved the problem. It was too some more properties files which needs to be added to the app.

Background auto-login at boot

I have a G5 running Leopard that I'm using as a print server. I would like to set it up to automatically login into a certain account when it boots up—to start up my printer RIP—but I'd like to hide that boot process from any users who happen to be around at the time. Assuming I have fast user switching enabled, is there a way to script a login as a background boot process?

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Here's what I think you mean:
-you want your computer to auto-login to a certain account on boot--see Sys Prefs -> Accounts -> Login Options
-you want to start a process at boot -- try using Lingon (http://sourceforge.net/projects/lingon/files/)
-you want to hide the existence of the process you started from anyone who might be poking around in Activity Monitor/top/ps -- 1) you can't; 2) why would you want to?
-you want to be able to use fast user switching and still have your process running -- set up your job in Lingon as a "System Daemon"
Is that what you mean? Please ask if you meant something else.

Auto-login using cookies

I have been prototyping and researching Weblogic authentication for several weeks
now. With a form-based login servlet, how would one implement auto-login? Basically,
the web site is supposed to set a persistent cookie which contains the users login
information (encrypted). When the user comes back, they should be logged in automatically.
This seems like a pretty common concept, but totally unsupported by J2EE. I have
looked into using filters, but ran into several problems. First, filters don't
get executed on a protected resource unless the user is authenticated. I don't
want to use Weblogic's AuthFilter since it's deprecated. Secondly, I tried modifying
my login servlet to forward to j_security_check. That doesn't work because Weblogic
won't let you. There is a workaround for that, but j_security_check ignores whatever
wrapper you put around HttpServletRequest. This makes it impossible to "login"
for the user. Third, I tried using ServletAuthentication.weak() to manually authenticate
the user, but how do I redirect the user back to the intended URL? I figured
out where Weblogic stores the URL in the HttpSession, but that's not officially
documented.
I noticed some references in Weblogic's Portal product that it supports auto-login.
However, I haven't figured out how to do it myself in a Weblogic server.
I am using Weblogic 7 sp2. Thanks in advance.

Chun,
what you need to do is to implement is a Perimeter Authentication. I did that
successfully with SP2. You have to use SP2, because in SP1 there qas no way to
supress that all cookies are BASE64 decrypted.
What helped me a lot is to study SampleSecurityProvidersUnmanaged.zip that you
can download from
dev2dev/code
Enjoy!
Cheers.

Auto login problem in Discoverer -- Urgent Help

Hi All,
I'm trying to call discoverer 4i plus from viewer.
I did auto login for discoverer 4i plus for 9i AS(2.1).It worked
fine. I did the same for 9i AS(2.2).Basically i tried to get
login inforamtion from cookies in webdisc.js file .The edited
webdisc.js like this
var user = getCookie ("Username");
If i remove this line my discoverer 4i plus works fine without
having any problem.if add the above code then i get the
following error
"Unable to connect to the Oracle Discoverer Application server.
Failed to connect to session XXXOracleDiscovererSession4 using
OSAgent."
Any help please..
Thanks in advance,
Sapna

Hi Jerome ,
Thanks for the reply.
I installed 9iAS(2.2) on NT. clint is on WIN2000.
Are u using cookies?
In my viewer, i've provided a link to plus. When an user hit
this link it should take the userid from viewer and auto logins
to plus. In viewer, i'm putting the userid and password in a
cookie and reads the information from cookie in webdisc.js(This
is disco plus script file for auto login)
I did the whole process in 9iAS(2.1) it works fine. Only this
version(2.2) i'm getting the error
"Unable to connect to the Oracle Discoverer Application server.
Failed to connect to session XXXOracleDiscovererSession4 using
OSAgent."
I'm interested to know how u did auto login on NT using <PARAM>
tag.
Best Regards,

Auto Login (Console, No Manager) [SOLVED]

I'm a noob to archlinux and the forums here, but hopefully I can become part of it!
I'm looking for a way to autologin to the console on boot, as I'll be running this computer as an SSH server for secure connections from anywhere in the world, and if I reboot it I really need it to login as root automatically. No login managers, just the lovely black console, that's what I need to auto-login. If that isn't possible... It would be a shame, but I couldn't find anything about just the console in the wiki or forums, only auto-logins for window managers and the like.
Also, if there's a way to start the SSHd after my wpa_supplicant has run on boot, I'd like your help with that too! To be specific: I figured out how to run wpa_supplicant on boot, but SSHd doesn't start automatically (I assume because when it does there's not yet a network connection), so how can I make it wait (say... 30 seconds) before starting itself, to be sure my Wifi will have authenticated by then (WPA)?
Help is much appreciated!
Ian
You're right, it works fine either way! Thanks for your help, I just though that maybe it'd need to be locally logged in to operate the SSHd, but that is false.
Last edited by suplegolas (2009-10-11 18:35:11)

It's a server, and I'd like it to auto-login after I reboot it from afar.
That's all. Security doesn't matter, as no one will have physical access to the logged in machine, that's why I disregard the security concerns of auto-login for local root.

Auto login with web auth?

I have a guest WLAN on a mobility anchor that uses web auth for access. There is a small set of local users, but the majority of the auth comes from a Radius server. Question is, can I setup some type of policy that will auto login users based on MAC address so they don't have to web authenticate?
Thanks!
Edit: I have seen where you can enable mac filtering on the WLAN and specify individual mac addresses to permit. This would work, but I still want web auth for the majority of users. Only a few users should be automatically connected. The rest should still authenticate via web auth.

Well I have some fantastic news.... and then some horrible news at the same time...
In 7.0.116.0 a new feature was introduced called web auth on mac-filter failure. Basically it does exactly what I think you are asking. Right? You mac filter your wlan, and then if anyone fails the mac filter, they can web authenticate.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work in an Anchored scenario as the Mac filter is L2 performed on the Foreign WLC, and the Anchor does L3 with no knowledge the Foreign was good to bypass webauth.... CSCts54424 is tracking this behavior for Anchor scenario, but I don't think it is planned to go into 7.0......

Auto Login to Wiki

We are having issues wth the auto login to the OSX Server wiki. It seems to work overnight sometimes, when the browser is closed, then occasionally it will log you out within half an hour of closing the browser. Can anyone enlighten me on how this could be controlled?

Cheers Linc
I have sort of got round it by using a link shortening service, not ideal but works for now

Auto login after new user registration

Hello,
I would like to go directly to a restricted page (add session variables for username, level, etc) after a new user is registered, without first going to the login page. Is there a way to do this? I tried adding a login user behavior to my new user registration page, but it disabled the form validation on the page. I also tried copying some of the login page code (login transactions) into the new user registration page, but that didn't work either... any help would be greatly appreciated!
Steve
BTW, I am not utilizing email activation

Well I finally figured out a work around... I am sure others will run into this problem and if someone can explain it to me I would be happy. But for now this will work.
The above code that Steve U posted works for me exactly 50% of the time. It will work every other time, why I don't know. I even changed all of my temp and session directories in php configuration, changed from php5 to php4 and still no fix.
Here is what I did to get it to work:
On your registration form underneath the insert transaction you copy and paste the login transaction (that you generate on a login page).
*Change tNG_login(this is your server connection)
*Change the POST value to match your submit button on your registration form, mine is KT_Insert1.
*Modify the redirect trigger to go to the page you want to redirect to after registration.
*Change the kt_login_user and kt_login_password addColumn values to match the username and password fields in your registration form, mine are email_usr and password_usr
*comment out the kt_login_rememberme addColumn (or if you need this, modify the code to allow for it in the registration form)
I have now successfully registered a new account and had it auto-login to the user protected area 10 times in a row now, so this should be working.
If you want some sample code here it is:
// Make a login transaction instance
$loginTransaction = new tNG_login($conn_connection);
$tNGs->addTransaction($loginTransaction);
// Register triggers
$loginTransaction->registerTrigger("STARTER", "Trigger_Default_Starter", 1, "POST", "KT_Insert1");
//$loginTransaction->registerTrigger("BEFORE", "Trigger_Default_FormValidation", 10, $formValidation);
$loginTransaction->registerTrigger("END", "Trigger_Default_Redirect", 99, "user/confirmlogin.php");
// Add columns
$loginTransaction->addColumn("kt_login_user", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "email_usr");
$loginTransaction->addColumn("kt_login_password", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "password_usr");
//$loginTransaction->addColumn("kt_login_rememberme", "CHECKBOX_1_0_TYPE", "POST", "kt_login_rememberme", "0");
// End of login transaction instance

Auto Login Volume windows open up Annoying

Hi everyone,
I have a question I hope someone can solve.
Ok its what I like to call an annoying fix. I set up my computer so that I auto login on to the office server and mount the volumes on my desktop. HOWEVER, everytime I restart my macintosh and it auto logs in... ALL the server volume windows open up and I have to close them everytime and there are 20 partitions!. Is there a way to fix this? I tried selecting the hide option in the login items pane of the account preferences but it didn't work. I'm almost going to resort to making an apple script but there must be a setting to stop this. Thanks
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Thanks for your reply,
It is in the start up items and the hide option does not work.
It's not just my macintosh but every mac in the office has the same problem. I've also seen the problem on other computers in other offices. I thought it might be a server issue but I've seen this problem occur regardless if it's a Windows or OS X server.
I'm beginning to wonder if it is a bug or if OS X is set up that way on purpose.
I do know it is annoying.

This can be achieved through customization, but when no agents are available when clicking on chat a message will show that no agents are available.

Novell Auto Login

I am trying to pass the Novell login using nwsess.ocx from the service passing parameters for auto complete and do not show login screen. This will work with Novell client 4.x on 32 bit systems but not with the new Netware client for 2008 server R2 64 bit. The netware login screen will pop up but will wait for the OK button to be pressed before continuing. I am not using smart card or passing windows credentials but simply trying to auto login.
When I run the same code on Windows 2003 32bit it will work as the login will pass in the background.
Any body know the work around if there is one or a better method?

We removed Novell and set Zenworks to login automatically with some registry alterations, the problem is that with roaming profiles the user is logged into windows automatically too. This seems to be because the Zenworks login happens before windows login. Uninstalling zenworks, logging in and then reinstalling helps, but it sometimes has to be done more than once.
Anyone got a smart way of changing the order of Zenworks and Windows logins, so we don't need to uninstall x number of times on all our PC's.
Forgot to mention versions: Zenworks 6.5 and XP sp3

How auto login

i made "self registration portlet"
i want
user self registration finish --> auto login portal
please help me

1. POST the login form to SSO's wwsso_app_admin.ls_login directly:
https://infra.domain.com/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login
2. Accept the user's username in the ssousername field (no change).
3. Accept the user's password in a temporary field, p_request.
4. Define a hidden inline frame that contains the output produced
from wwptl_login.show_site2pstoretoken (see example). This
is used to provide a "fresh" site2pstoretoken for browsers
that support inline frames (<iframe>).
5. Define an onClick Javascript action that performs the following:
a. Set a value for the hidden field, site2pstoretoken
(see "Obtaining a site2pstoretoken"), using a static value,
or a dynamically produced one from the iframe, depending on
browser capabilities.
b. Copy the password from p_request into the hidden password field
c. Null out the p_request field
d. Submit the form.
.Sample HTML for Login Portlet
The following HTML fragment shows the necessary HTML code to implement the correct modified posting of user credentials. This code can be pasted into the built-in HTML portlet to test it. The code generates a dynamic site2pstoretoken when the Login button is pressed, using a call to wwptl_login.show_site2pstoretoken within a hidden iframe. Some older browsers do not support iframes, so a static site-specific site2pstoretoken is used if the iframe cannot be created.

<script language="javascript">

</script>
<p>
<h1>Sign In</h1>
<form name ="loginForm"
action="https://<sso.domain.com>:<port>/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login"
method="post">
<input name="site2pstoretoken" type="hidden" value ="">
<input name="password" type="hidden" value ="">
Username: <input name="ssousername" type="text" value =""><br>
Password: <input name="p_request" type="password" value =""><br><br>
<input name="Login" type="button" value="Login" onClick="loginSubmit();">
</form>
<iframe
name="s2pFrame"
style="width:0px; height:0px; border: 0px"
src=http://<portal.domain.com>:<port>/pls/portal/portal.wwptl_login.show_site2pstoretoken>
</iframe>

Every site2pstoretoken contains an embedded timestamp and will expire after 5 minutes. If an expired (static) site2pstoretoken is used for login, Portal will detect this and request a new site2pstoretoken automatically. This will cause an extra round-trip to the SSO server but is invisible to the user. To ensure that new site2pstoretokens are generated with the correct requested URL parameter, a cookie is created
