Solution to cap/control internet usage per user?

On Mac OS or within Airport, is it possible to cap the internet usage of some of the users connected to an Airport netowrk? Is it easy to control the bandwidth usage or to allocate a specific amount og 'authorised' GB to download per month? Are they utilities to do that? Thanks for your answers!

The only feature that the square 802.11b/g/n AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) has is the ability to limit connection of specific MAC addresses to certain hours of the day. This is in AirPort Utility under "Access Control".
The AEBS has no feature which allows you to control the bandwidth allocated to each client. Nor does it have any feature which tracks how much data a client has used.
OS X's parental controls also offers some in the area of Internet access. You would need to visit the appropriate OS X discussion area and ask about them specifically.

System usage per user

Hi Security Experts,
Our company have a SAP system version ECC 5.0 and right now we are making an analysis related to the quantity of users and the quality of the system usage per user, so the question here is if there's a way to know how much resources does an user consume? this is, time connected, transactions used. This is in order to separate the occasional users from the operating users?
I'll appreciate a lot your help.
Best Regards,
Erik Espinosa

Hi
ST03N is your solution.
There you find every minute detail for performance in the SAP system.
You can check User Profiles for days , weeks and months individually to check the response times, data executions from the database etc.
You can also find the processes/ transactions that take the highest memory consumption.
Apart from this, an earlywatch report from the system would also assist you in such an analysis.
I hope this helps

Memory usage per user

Hi folks, I once heard about a rule of thumb (ROT) to use when estimating how
much server memory to allocate for each end-user. Anyone remember this
amount...
Thanks...

Hi,
I recommend you run using the default which is Dynamic Fair Share Scheduling (aka Distributed Fair Share Scheduling) enabled and monitor to see if you experience problems. For details on how fair share limits per session cpu usage, please see Chapter 5 of
Windows Internals, Part 1, 6th Edition:
Windows Internals, Part 1 (6th Edition)
http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Internals-Edition-Developer-Reference/dp/0735648735
The above provides information on Server 2008 R2. In Server 2012 fair share cpu has been improved for heavier loads and new functionality has been added to distribute network bandwidth and disk IO among sessions as well. Precise details
on how network and disk fair share work have not been published.
Windows System Resource Manager is not available for Server 2012 R2.
You may want to consider writing your own programs to monitor/alert on resource usage per tenant and/or purchasing third party software. Server 2012 R2 RDSH is excellent, however, it is not designed for full multi-tenancy. If you
need strong isolation/control of each tenant in terms of security, resources, etc., then unfortunately each tenant needs to be in a separate VM.

Standard transaction or cube to control the workload per user BI

Hi,
Bw need to know if there is any transaction or any standard cube of BI content (Statistics BI), which allows me to see the BI workload.
What I need to know specifically is that cubes have greater access users, the queries that run .. etc, to see if the cube are used, how often and thus have a higher ranking of the least used.
Thanks.

Monitoring Internet Usage Per Computer

So my family is currently running into our ISP's cap for the second month in a row, and there are still like 10 days left in the month. >.<
There are several computer on the network, both windows and linux (mine being the linux computers). I am wondering if there is a way to monitor how much download and upload usage each computer is using so I can isolate the problem, and figure out what needs to be done.
I am hoping I can find a program that I can run on my computer which is on like 24/7, but if I will need to get a different program for the windows computer that will be fine.

I saw this mentioned in linux jornal: WebHTB. I didn't really read the article, but it lets you manage network bandwidth through a browser interface. I don't know if it's what you want, but have a look: http://webhtb.sourceforge.net/

Calculate shared_pool usage per user

Hi,
is there a query that shows how much of shared_pool is allocated to diffrent users? ideally showing the db user and os user or machine name etc...

No per user setting for JRE in Internet Explorer on W2K/W2K3 term. server

After installing Sun Java SE on terminal servers (both 2000 &
2003) you have an additional option within Internet Explorer 5.5 & 6.x under tools, intenet options, advanced; called "Java (Sun) Use JRE
XXX (applet) requires restart". This option cannot be set on a per user base. When a user changes this setting, it is changed for ALL terminal server users immediately. This is a big problem.
It should be able to set this on a per user base.
Current key is located at: HLKM\SOFWTARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_SUN\SELECT
As some websites require Sun_Java and others won't work at all
when the Sun Java options is selected each user should be able
to select or disable this option on a per user base.
How can we accomplish this?

Hello. Sorry, don't have an answer for your issue. Just wondering whether you've experienced this issue in your Windows Server 2003 envionmnet.
We're running Windows 2000 Server (SP4) (and Citrix Presentation Server 4.0). We typically have 20+ concurrent users logged on to a server. Since JRE 1.5.0_7, we've had issues with Internet Explorer taking upwards of 15 seconds to display even though Iexplore.exe appears in Task Manager almost immediately. If we uninstall JRE 1.5.0_7 and use 1.4.2_6, Internet Explorers displays fine. We've tried JRE 1.5.0_11 and 1.6.0_3, and Internet displays slowly. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any thoughts of why this is occuring? Thanks.

How to use the *new* "per-user remote control"?

Per the ARD discription page at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-remote-desktop/id409907375?mt=12
It says under "Whats New in 3.5.1":
"Per-user remote control
You can remotely log in to a Mac with any user account on that computer and control it, without interrupting someone else who might be using the computer under a different login.
How can I do this? I can't seem to find the ability. If I use ARD in it's "normal" mode, I am on the user's console at the same time they are.... I want to be "underneath" the console without affecting them.

That capability is only available if your client systems are running Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. See:

Does the Airport extreme provide any sort of usage reporting? Either per user or aggregate usage of the broadband port

Does the Airport extreme provide any sort of usage reporting? Either per user or aggregate usage of the broadband port

No. You may be able to retrieve that information from your ISP.

Monitoring and controlling Internet sharing to individual users

I am trying to set up a system where I can have my broadband cable go into my mac, and share the connection wirelessly. However I want to also be able to access that mac say by terminal, and create usernames and passwords via a single command preferably, and also set an expiry date where by a network usage log is stored and the account is then deleted, so I can see what network usage has gone on while the account was active, and the dates the account was open for that report. To go one step further, I would also like the system to monitor traffic and if it went over a certain amount for a give day, it would automatically stop sharing the internet with that user for that day. Is there anyway to get OSX to do this? do I need osx server ? Is there third party that will allow this. Nb. Windows is NOT an option...
Thanks.

The details of this depends on what kind of router you have, but generally the most secure setup is to only allow specific MAC addresses to use your router. This can be a pain until you have added all of your devices - and if you have occasional users like friends who drop by it's annoying to have to go into the router and add them. Still, it's the only sure-fire way to keep everyone else out. In my router, it's under advanced wireless settings, and the function is called Setup Access List.

Antispam solution with per-user settings for JES4 ?

Hi,
We are currently installing JES4 for one of our clients. One of their questions is if there is software that can integrate with JES4 and that allows end-users to tweak their own anti-spam settings, f.ex. let them decide what is spam or not and how to treat it.
Ideally, it would mean a new tab in the webclient, so that they can specify their own settings as to what they consider to be antispam.
I don't know of any such tool, that's why i am asking here.
I know that brightmail can interface with jes, but as far as I can see, it's just a global filter without user-specific settings.
For the moment we are using spamassassin on our mail relays, which works quite well, but offers in our case no user-specific configuration.
Any ideas ?
I guess we might just as well tag the probable spam, and let them setup custom SIEVE rules to treat these messages, but I don't think this will be very flexible?
I'll be thankful for any input.
regards,
Tom.

we currently use a tool called PureMessage
its a mail filter that sits at our gateway and filters inbound and outbound. the latest version uses ldap userid and password for authentication into a personal "spam control" where the end-user can setup white/black lists etc.. It doesn't integrate with the client, but there are certainly some user configs.
the app will work directly with JES4 ( we use sendmail for SMTP traffic so I have not done the integration )
As for a tab in comms express. I would imagine you could customize the comms express to include a tab for the end-user web interface. But there's nothing I know of out of the box to do so.

Faulty Parental Controls & Proxy usage

Dear all,
the follow problem concerns:
- Guest user account, Parental Control, Proxy usage, Safari
Plattform: MacOS 10.7.4 with all updates installed
The Problem occurs with the following steps:
>> 1. Fresh Install of MacOS 10.7.4, Update Installation and create a normal Guest user using the control panel
>> 2. Configuring a proxy on the wired Interface via the control panel. Fixed Proxy.
>> 3. Testing the Preferences made as Admin user without restrictions, everything works fine as it should.
>> Firefox => Running without Problems.
>> 4. At this this Time Parental Controls for the Guest user are inactive.
>> 5. Logoff the Admin user, relogin with the guest user, everythings fine. Internet Acces works with Safari and Firefox.
>> 6. Logoff as Guest and relogin as Admin.
>> 7. Now we're activating Parental Controls WITHOUT ANY RESTRICTIONS for Webaccess for the Guest user
>> 8. Logoff Admin and login as Guest user ...
>> 9. There's no Internet Access at all for anything the Safari and Firefox prompt "The Connection has been reset" ...
Seems that some Programmer at Apple desgined a faulty Parental Control ...
=> What do you think ? Any suggestions any idea how to fix that problem
About the Background: The solution mentioned should be deployed in a School with ~ 150 Macs ... And the only thing stopping us from deploying Lion is that fault mentioned above ...
Thanks in advance,
Markus

Thank you for your help! I work for a school district and teach digital video course in a magnet program. We purchased 11 new iMacs with the Lion OS and every single one of those new iMac computers had the exact problem when the parental control panel is set and you have to use a proxy setting. None of the computers would allow Internet access in those student user accounts.
I have been stuck since May 2012 for an Apple fix. We buy our Apple products with a three year Apple Plan and they have been pretty much useless! I had to take one of the computers twice to the Apple store Genius and they could not do anything. I called their online support and they asked me to run a special program they sent me to trace and download the debug routine results. They sent me an email to confirm that indeed it was an Apple OS bug and not anything on my part! It's like telling me I'm not an idiot.
Well, that was in early June 2012 and it is September 2012 still with no fix and several poor responses like, "we don't have a fix and if we do, we will sent out a patch. So, no need for you to call!" So much for the other 20 new machines we were planning to add.
I will try you fix to see if it works. Thanks again.

Using Windows Server 2012 per-User RDS CAL on Server 2008 R2 Session Host

I have a Remote Desktop Licensing Server setup on my domain controller running Windows Server 2012 R2. I have installed a
’Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services per-User CAL’ there and activated the licensing server already.
Currently I use ONLY Windows Server 2008 R2 machines as RDS Session Hosts (in the future I plan to transition them to 2012 R2, hence the CAL I bought is
already in the newest version).
I have already configured my WS 2008 RDS Session Hosts: set
Per-User licensing mode and specified license server address. The connectivity between my Session Host(s) and my License Server seems to be ok as the
Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration window on the Session Host correctly lists the 2012 per-user
license (CAL installed on server) from the license server.
On the License Server I can also see event logs entries (in
Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-Licensing/Admin), indicating that the user has been issued a license.
The issue I am having is that the license being issued is
2008 Per User CAL license (Build-in OverUsed - temporary) and not the 2012 Per User CAL license which is the only license installed on the server. According to the RDS CAL interoperability matrix at
social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/14988.rds-and-ts-cal-interoperability-matrix.aspx, I was expecting the 2012 license to be backward-compatible with 2008 client (and that
in the absence of legacy licenses, the (only) 2012 license would be used for all clients connecting to the licensing server)
Before I bought my license, I found this document:
download.microsoft.com/download/3/D/4/3D42BDC2-6725-4B29-B75A-A5B04179958B/WindowsServerRDS_VLBrief.pdf
which says that - "newer version RDS CALs can be used with an older version of the server software" (In section FAQ, Q4), which means to me that
the 2012 license would work as-is for the 2008 Server and gives me flexibility when upgrading to the new server version.
How can I make this CAL work in my environment?
Note:
I have already explicitly disabled
Prevent license upgrade Group Policy setting which I assumed would fix the issue but nothing has changed.
Then I have enabled License server security group Group Polity setting
and added computers from my domain to RDS Endpoint Servers AD group. I have also created new AD group called
Terminal Server Computers and added the computer accounts there, but it changes
nothing. Reference - technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee791761.aspx , technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725704.aspx and blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2009/09/17/control-the-issuance-of-rds-cals.aspx.
I found one potential ‘workaround’ which involved manually downgrading my CAL license by calling
Microsoft Clearinghouse. I am very reluctant do to so because, as I upgrade parts of my infrastructure to Server 2012, I’d need to then ask Microsoft to manually upgrade a part of my license back as well.
Am I missing something? What should I do to get my 2012 CAL to be issued to 2008 R2 server

Hi, I have tried several other possibilities.
I change expire date for my temporary assigned license (2008 CAL overused). It can be done, by changing Active Directory user properties – msTSExpireDate. When I restart my Session Host server and logged again, my license was renewed
for next 60 days (event ID - 4145).
I also delete information about license for this user (clear msTSExpireDate and msTSLicenseVersion). And the license was successfully removed from License Manager. After another SH restart it gets the same – 2008 overused – license
(event ID 4143 - license server has successfully issued …)
I now, that changing info in AD attributes is a little trick, and this is not a real value - only a reference, but it was useful to delete or change expiration date of license. But it didn’t change type of license as I expected.
Reference -

To TP:
I have found your post with information:
If you have a Server 2012 RD Licensing server you may install your 2012 RDS CALs on it (no downgrade necessary) and then set your Server 2008 R2 RDSH to
use the 2012 RDL server. The 2012 RD Licensing server will automatically issue the CALs as 2008. -

And it showing my situation in brief. I also found
similar problems, but the solutions don’t meet my expectations.

Is there a way to determine this time you mentioned before? Or should I just wait patiently…

Hi -
Can someone help me getting started (if at all possible...) with enabling controll of used bandwidth at a "per-user"-level.
I wonder if it possible to do this dynamicly with respect to the overall demand from other users.
I've searching a lot, but I'm missing the terminology :)

To my knowledge, what you want to accomplish isn't possible on a 3560.
You can police at ingress, and if you use a policy map, you can police different "known" IPs.
What you could do, is police user ports ingress at some nomimal bandwidth, and if exceeded, mark the packets. Then on egress, you could direct those packets to an different egress queue with a lower bandwidth guarantee than the normal queue.

How to set per user session time out.

Hi folks,
I am trying to set longer session time out to selective users with the following line, but it turns out setting this time out for the whole app. Is there a way to change the session time out per user only?
request.getSession(true).setMaxInactiveInterval(172800);
Billy

Well, there's the rub. If you want more control over session handling, you have to take the good with the bad. My suggestion is to use a good open source caching solution and let the cache evict entries for you. You should be able to specify both an interval over which data goes stale and/or the maximum size you want the cache to reach. Really, a session is just a specialized form of caching anyway.
