SNMPv3 user and group dependency?

HI,
if i create group with authpriv and user with no authnopriv, and if we add user to this group. what will be result? this user will be authenticated or not? what is the dependency between users and groups ? Which has high priority?
thanks guys

Hi. Before I found this answer and the link Vinod Arya provided, I had the same question, so I did some tests in GNS3 configuring different snmpv3 groups within a router cisco 2800 (i.e. a no-auth group, an auth group and a priv group); creating different users with different security levels and making all the possible combinations between users and groups. After capturing with Wireshark those results (i'll put them at the end of the question) I write a "rule", the "general conclusion" of that dependency between the security level of groups and users, as follows:
- " Within the agent, the group's security level has precedence over the user's security level member of that group, if the group's security level is greater than the user's security level. This is explained with the following two scenarios. First scenario, If inside the agent, the group which the user belongs, does not have any securities (a noauth group) and the user inside of it has a security level greater, for example, authPriv; an external incoming request to the user of this agent, with authNoPriv security level, will be able to gather the information that was looking for, despite the user inside router's agent has configured both authentication and privacy protocols and keys. Second scenario, the opposite situation. When the group's security level is higher, for example authPriv and the user within the group has a lower security level (for example, a noAuthNoPriv user or a authNoPriv user) an external incoming request to the user of this agent, with noAuthNoPriv or authNoPriv security level, will get a NULL response to the request.
That's why concordance must exist between the security level of both the group and the users members of that group.
Another important consideration is consider the interaction between user's security levels (admin and agents). The security level of the user has precedence over the request's security level of the admin console, because if the security level of the incoming request is higher than the configured for the user who it is asking to, the request won't be successfull and an error message "unsupported security level" will be sent to the admin console." -
Please I want to know if the conclusion I reached after the analisis of the results of tests is correct, or if it's imprecise, you can help me to improve it.
In the link it doesn't say literally that the group has precedence, it mentions about the errors in the case of a missing password or inconsistence between group and user's security level. Also saying that the group's security level has precedence over the user's security level is not always true wich I think was demonstrated with the first scenario example, that's why I need to know if the explanation I wrote is good or is missing something. Thanks in advance

User and group names truncated with ls

Hello,
When using the 'ls -l' command the resulting list truncates user and group names that are longer than 8 characters.
Is this a know issue?
I'm running Mac OS 10.4.10.
Thanks,
Anthony

If a program like "ls" wants to know the username corresponding to the uid, it must call a library function of the operating system. But there are two library functions, one gives the correct username and the other truncates the username.
The basic library function is getpwuid(3) which returns the correct username.
Hello Jun,
I ran a search using Xfind (Rixstep) on /bin for 'userfromuid' and /bin/ls was listed as I might of expected.
Also, /bin/ls was also listed when 'getpwuid' was used as a search Key.
Peeking further into /bin/ls further with Xstrings (which is Rickstep's "adaptation" of the "strings' tool" ) reveals the string '_ getpwuid'.
Does this mean that at some point the 'ls' command can call the getpwuid() directly under some circumstances rather than going through userfromuid() which relies on the cache you mentioned?
The problem is the size of the table; userfromuid() allocates only 8
characters for each username (the number 8 comes from UT_NAMESIZE in /
usr/include/utmp.h), and truncates the username if it is longer. This
may be "fixed" in a future version; or it may not be "fixed" to keep
backward compatibility. I'm not sure.
I've heard that utmpx.h has 'UTXUSERSIZE' which is defined as 32. Does not that allow for user and group names larger than 8 characters?
By the way, I can't find the directory usr/include/utmp.h on my drive.
Is there a way to reset or redefine this 'UT_NAMESIZE' field to more than 8 characters wherever the userfromuid() function stores it?
The commands "users", "who", and "w" read the file /var/run/utmp, in
which truncatd usernames of the currently logged-in users are saved.
Does some command initially call the function as 'ls', userfromuid(), to result in truncated names being saved in file /var/run/utmp as well?
I think there are many programs which depend on this fixed-width utmp
file, so it may not be "fixed" in a future version. "
I believe there are third party tools which rely on the userfromuid() call which require this bug to be fixed in order to display accurate user and group name data.
Thanks for your informative reply,
Anthony

Create user and group

I want to create a user and group for an Squid installation, I have no problem creating the User, but I don't know how to create the group. Can anyone help me?

The most appropriate way to do this depends on the specifics. I assume you created the user in the Accounts pane of System Preferences. If so, you will automatically have created a group of the same name if you're using Tiger. Whether this is a good way to do it depends on whether the user needs to be a "normal user" who can log in to the machine etc. If not, it is better to create the user and group using another method (command line in Terminal or using NetInfo Manager, for example).

Hi r,
Make sure you close iTunes before shutdown. And you're quite welcome.

I am trying to stop programs from opening automatically when I turn my computer on. I tried system preferences users and groups login items...then I deleted them from the list but it did nothing.

Hi r,
It sounds like you're running Lion?

How to change default /Users and /Groups to different Volume?

Users are created in /Volumes/<boot>/Users and groups in /Volumes/<boot>/Groups.
We need these to be created on a different volume, eg., /Volumes/External/Users, and /Volumes/External/Groups.
Setup Assistant correctly put user Backups into */Volumes/External/Shared Items/Backups* and also correctly put web services on /Volumes/External/ServiceData -- we want to do the same for Groups and Users.
Groups are the most critical, as the group needs bulk storage. Users we could leave as is if it can't be done.
How can this be configured? We've read File Server Admin, Open Directory Admin, and Advanced Server admin from http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html without finding an answer.
Thanks in advance.

1. Create new folders on the external volume to hold users and groups, but to prevent confusion name them something other than "Users" and "Groups". /Volumes/External/NetUsers and /Volumes/External/NetGroups would be reasonable choices.
2. Share both of these folders (in Server Admin -> server name in sidebar -> File Sharing -> Volumes & Browse modes -> select each folder -> click Share near the top right).
3. Enable both folders for automounting on clients (Server Admin -> server name in sidebar -> File Sharing -> Share Points-> select each folder -> Share Point tab under that -> Enable Automount option) with the default options (Directory: /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1, Protocol: AFP, Use for: User home folders and group folders). Be sure to click Save (not just OK in the dialog).
4. To migrate users, run Workgroup Manager, and change the home location for the users you want to move (select Accounts in the toolbar -> /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 from the hidden pop-up menu under that -> User icon tab at the left -> select the user(s) you want to change -> Home tab on the right -> select the NetUsers option from the "Where" list). Then, for each user, run this command on the server: "sudo cp -Rp /Users/username /Volumes/External/NetUsers".
5. Similarly, move Group folders in WGM (Accounts -> /LDAP... -> Groups icon on left -> select groups to move -> Group Folder tab on right -> NetGroups in the list). Then, for each group, run "sudo cp -Rp /Groups/groupname /Volumes/External/NetGroups".
6. Test to make sure all is working before deleting the old user and group folders from /Users and /Groups (do NOT delete /Users and /Groups themselves, just the individual folders from under them).

Generate report to show all users and groups in Shared Services in EPM 11x

Hi,
Is there any way to generate a report (like a migration report or job status report) which can be generated through workspace/shared services 11.1.1.3 so that my admin can look at all the users and groups created. Something that I can view and probably print out? Any suggestions?
~Adeeba

Yes, I knew this one. This basically shows me the users and groups assigned specific provision access. Is there any way to view a report that shows which users and groups have access to dimensions of an individual planning application?

it is an urgent assignment for me..help can be appreciated...
sudhir

Sudhir,
You can assign the roles to users and groups as below.
1. Select the System Administration in the top level navigtion
2. Select user administration
3. You can search for a specific user or a group from this iView.
4. Use the edit button to edit the profie of the user or group.
5. Search for the role in the search iView.
6. Add the role to the user of group and save.

Upgraded to 3.1 and lost all users and groups. How do we get them back?

We ran the update to Server 3.1 (from 3.0) on our Mavericks Mac-Mini Server.
Everything had been fine before the update, but now all users and groups have completely disappeared.
The only user we have is the main administrator log-in.
Since we verified that all of our data, wikis, and other items are still in place, it might be easier to just re-create the groups and users (and permission therein).
But, we cannot log into Workgroup Manager, nor can we add users/groups in the Server app (because it is "grayed-out").
Can somebody please provide a suggestion??
We are a small engineering firm with only 5 users, so it's not like this would take all day.
Thanks, Mike

Have you tried
sudo sso_util configure -r REALM_NAME -a diradmin afp

WINDOWS 8.1 - System Tools no longer displaying User and Group Settings after adding a new LOCAL user.

I jumped on my parents computer, which is on a domain. I added a new local user(with my live.com login) and gave it admin status. That's when the trouble began.
The main user profile disappeared. I used the command prompt fix (see other fixes) to add the missing user back into admin. I logged back in, and it set up the account for the first time (WTF?). I cannot access any files from the main account
(that I logged into just fine before to get this debacle started.)
When going to Local Computer Management --> System Tools, my users and groups tool is missing.
I ran lusrmgr.msc only to find out that the most current version of Windows 8.1 and this is what it said "This snapin may not be used with this edition of Windows 8.1. To manage user accounts for this computer, use the User Accounts tool in the
Control Panel." <---- Awesome! (that was sarcasm.)
I have spent over two hours in the User Account tool during the course of this problem only to prove that a picture of a computer is more useful that that "tool".
To anyone reading this ticket, the best advice I can offer you (as long as its not a crucial machine) is to back up what you can gain access to, format your hard-drive and reinstall windows and start over again. I wouldn't recommend reinstalling 8.1,
I would say go back to 7 and wait until 10 comes out. Windows 8 is the new Vista. Good luck!

Hello AhavahOlam,
I can understand your feelings.
If my understanding is right, after adding a new local user in domain-joined Windows 8.1, you can’t open the local users and groups.
Can you still add account by going to Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts\Manage Accounts?
As this computer is domain-based, it is recommended to contact the domain administrator to see if the option is blocked.

Proper user and group rights

Dear readers and admins
My question is about the "correct" setting of the user and group rights, so the following is possible. It relates to Server 10.3 and to 10.4.
Requirements:
Group 1 = "Regular user"
Group 2 = "Administration, Accounting"
User 1 and 2 belong to Group 1, users 3 and 4 belong to Group 2.
User 1 & 2 must have read/write access to files and folders in Group 1, but may not have access to files and folders of Group 2.
User 1 & 2 must be in a position of creation and deletion of file and directory of Group 1, as if they were their own files and directories. I.e. User 2 must be in a position to delete or change files and directories that an other user of Group 1 has created.
User 3 & 4 must have read and write access to files and directories of Group 1 & 2. They must be able to creating and changing such files and directories, as if they were their own files and directories. I.e. User 3 & 4 must be able to create and change files and directories which belong to user 1 & 2.
As I understand it, this can be achieved with ACL's under Server 10.6.
Am I right?
What would such a structure look like with ACL's?
I unfortunately don't have a server 10.6 running, as, down due to technical problems, my server is down.
Thank you in advance for your help.
All a happy new year.
Regards
Thomas Thaler

Yes - and it's pretty easy.
1. You would create whatever share points you would like (very easy to do)
2. You would make sure in Workgroup Manager you have the users assigned to the correct groups that you discussed.
3. On the folders for Group 1 you would add ACL permissions of Full Control for Group 1 and Full Control for Group 2.
4. On the folders for Group 2 you would add an ACL permission of Full Control for Group 2.

How to create a new user and group on command line?

Hi,
I am trying to install INN, the news server on OS X.4.8 (non-server), but it requires me to create a user and group, both called 'news'.
I know this has something to do with using Netinfo to create them, but I am logged in remotely via ssh and I can't use Netinfo Manager.
How do I create new users and groups via the command line.
Thanks for any help.

WLS Users and Groups interface questions / observations

I'm new to WLS, having just installed OBIEE 11g for the first time. There are some oddities in WLS around setting up Users that I'd like to ask about, to see if I'm just missing something, or if the interface really IS this bad. Please feel free to comment in any way, or to correct any statements that are erroneous. Here goes:
1. The use of Previous and Next buttons instead of a vertical scroll bar for finding users and groups in their respective lists. What if you have several hundred users, and the one you want to modify starts with the letter 'Z'? That means clicking the Next button several dozen times. (Security Realms … myrealm … Users and Groups … Users) Not only is there no scroll bar, there's no search box either. The only way to get to a user near the end of the alphabetical listing is the Next button. Is that correct?
2. After adding a new user, what's the next most logical thing to want to do? How about assigning that user to Groups? So why do I have to click Next several times to find that new user in the alphabetical list? I don't see a sortable 'Date Modified' field for the table of users, nor a link to the "Most Recently Added" user. Nor can I assign groups during the same action as creating the user. In the example in #1, I might have to click Next several dozen times to get to the user I just added. Is that correct?
3. When creating a new User, immediately after clicking New, where is the most likely place that I'd want to go? How about the Name field? Right now, the cursor rests in some indeterminate location. I have to hit the Tab key 14 times, or move the mouse into the Name box and click it. The active cursor position does not default to the Name box when creating a new user. Is that correct?
4. I don't see a 'Create Like' button for creating Users, so that existing group membership can be easily replicated. I'd like to be able to add a new employee by clicking to highlight an existing user from the same department, clicking a 'Create Like' button, then entering a new user name and password, with all group memberships assigned automatically based on the source user. The same could be said for replicating groups. I don't think that exists. Is that correct?
5. I don't see a clean way to return to the User list on the page on which I clicked a user name. Imagine that I'm going through my entire list of users one at a time to set an attribute. I click on the user JSMITH and set the attribute. The only way to get back to JSMITH's page and select the next user list is to hit the browser's back button three times, or to click the Users and Groups breadcrumb at the top of the screen and use the Next link multiple times to find that page again. Is that correct?
6. I don't see a way to bring up a Group and assign Users to it from a list. It appears that the only way to assign a User to a Group is to access a User profile and click Groups. If we're creating a new group that has 200 users selected from a list of 500 users, that could potentially represent somewhere between 5000 and 10000 mouse clicks. It would be much more efficient to be able to bring up a group, then select its members from a list of users. That does not appear to be possible. Is that correct?
7. It also appears that when assigning groups for Users, the list of Available Parent Groups sorts the lowercase entries after all uppercase entries, so that groups that start with the letter 'a' fall after groups that start with 'Z'. That is not the case with the list of users. The User table uses a case-insensitive sort. Is that correct?
8. When I want to delete more than one User, and the ones that I want to delete are on different pages, there appears to be no way to select those users from multiple pages at the same time. So, imagine that I have 500 users, and I want to delete two users, one of whom is listed on page 48, and the other on page 50. I would have to click the Next button 47 times to find the first user and delete it. At that point, the interface returns to page 1, and I have to click the Next button 49 times to reach the second user. Is that correct?

Hi,
Regarding your first question, you might want to press the "Customize this table" button, then select the maximum allowed amount of rows in "Number of rows displayed per page:" that would resolve some of the problems you're having with the interface. I do think this is not a great graphical tool, and there are some usability issues.
Regarding the adding of users to groups, it seems the way you describe is the only way of doing it, however you could try using a script instead of the graphical console, the easiest way of making it is adding a user to a group while using the "Record" button on the top of the screen to get a wlst script to use as a model, then create a new script with all new users you want to add/modify.
Regards,
Franco.
