[solved] NetworkManager as user without password.

I just installed Arch Linux on my wife's netbook with KDE. Everything went fine.
Problem is that when the desktop is up kwallet appears and wants a password for NetworkManager services, in this case the wireless. I added the user to the network group and setup a file for that case which I found on the Arch NetworkManager wiki in polkit-1. On the other hand I read that this is pretty useless with systemd.
I haven't found a workaround yet and searching the forum or search engine didn't come up with a solution either.

If do not want the kwallet security, you can disable it from Network Management Settings -> other -> connection secrets -< in file. However, I donot know the security impacts of doing this.

Access to User without Password

A temporary employee (now gone forever) set up some workfiles on a non networked Mac in their own User - as the administrator can we access the User without the password (which we have buckley's of getting).

Use the "Accounts" System Preference" from the administrator account. Click the lock at the lower-left to unlock it, select the user's account, and change the password. You can also use Get-Info to change ownership or permissions on the user's files and folders if you click the lock icon in the Get-Info window (click the "Details" triangle at the bottom of the window).

Logon with multiple users goes directly into user without password prompt?

I upgraded to Lion after Hard drive crashed and was replaced by apple even though I had Lion OSX they insisted that I upgraded which I eventually had to do.
The problem is as follows:
When PC is intially turned on the User selection screen does not appaer and the system goes straight into the first account created without password validation. All accounts setup have PW added to prevent my kids from accessing th PC. However if I loggoff the user screen appears and PW must be used. This does this on ever restart or turn on. Tried resetting & re adding the accounts but same issue occurs.
Any help on this issue will be appreciated.
Thanks

If you are using any other resource as Pass-through Authentication, then the password fields can be blank. In fact, if you enable pass-though authentication, the tabbed user form does not show the password fields.

Solaris 10, ssh and users without password

Hi,
we're making heavy use of password-less logins (a generic
user account with no password and a special app as login
shell).
The account gets
Permission denied (gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,publickey,keyboard-interactive).
and that's it. How do I make ssh in Sol10 behave like OpenSSH
and permit that user account to connect via ssh?
Cheers

Oh ... and an interesting side-note; one can't truss
the sshd within a local
zoneCan you elaborate on your problems with truss in a non-global zone? It seems to be okay for me...

Worked the same if I did it on launch as well as to a running process.
zone1# truss /usr/lib/ssh/sshd -D

resolvepath("/usr/lib/ssh/sshd", "/usr/lib/ssh/sshd", 1023) = 17
one has to go to the global zone and truss
random sshd processes
until one gets to one that actually outputs stuff
when one attempts to
connect - not quite what I expected of a zone.Even if you had to do it from the global zone (which I can't reproduce), I'm not sure why you'd have to try random processes. 'svcs' will show which processes are owned by the service.

Linking to an OBIEE report without showing the user and password

Hi!
we are trying to access to an obiee report from an external portal (coded with php).
The idea is that the user clicks on a link an gets the report in pdf format. For that purpose we are using this url:
http://ttivobiee01:7001/analytics/saw.dll?Go&Path=/shared/Prueba/ogp_obi&Action=Print&P0=1&P1=eq&P2="Criteria"."Key"&P3=1402&NQuser=user&NQPassword=pass&format=pdf
But this url is expossing OBIEE's user and password.
In order to avoid this security issue we tried to do an wget of the url but it doesn't return the report. Instead we get an html, which seams to download the report chunk by chunk (using javaScript).
The question is, is there any way that we could let our portal ussers access to an obbie report without expossing the user and password?
I have been looking into oracle forums and have found this: OBIEE Go URL with password protected
but we couldn't use this aproach due to security issues.
Thanks!
Nuria

We have finally done this (and it works!)

$ch = curl_init($urlInforme);
$ckfile = tempnam ("./", "CURLCOOKIE");
$ch = curl_init ($urlInforme);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $ckfile);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

The user which does not exist can login BI Answers without password

Hi I got an Issue in the BI Answers login.
Any non-exist username can login to the BI answers without password.
And the exist-user need the correct password.
Does anybody have the same issue before?
And also, any non-exist username can login to BI Answers if the password is provided as the same as username, even the user account doesn't exist.
After the non-exist user login, the system would automatilly create this user account.

As DBA, how to know user's password without changing it?

HI,
a quick question,
how do I know user's password?
I mean I don't need to use 'alter user identified by new_password.'
just want to know current user's password, is there a quick way???
thanks a lot

Not sure what the intention is but it is possible to change a users password and and then change it back to what it was originally, without knowing what it ever was.
select username, password from dba_users;
make note of the encrypted password.
Now change the password to something else
alter user <username> identified by <new_password>;
Connect as that user, do whatever etc.
Now, to change it back
alter user <username> identified by values '<original_password>';
Note the single quotes.

How to reset user and password on MacBook Pro without CD

I recently bought a MacBook Pro, 15" with Lion on Ebay.
There are times when I am asked for a password. I have asked the person who I bpught it from, but he does not remember.
I do not have the original disk, so I need a method to reset the user and password.
Thanks

Thank you for your input.
I received an e-mail from a computer tech that thought the following would work; please let me know what you think:
ResetLion password with Single User mode
Anyone running Mac OS X Lion cantake advantage of this method:
Shut down your Mac and turn it back on while holding     down the Command and S keys at the same time until your see     a black screen with white text. This is known as Single User mode.
You can skip this step, but it’s recommended that you     don’t because it will check the consistency of your hard drive. At the     prompt, type fsck -fy and press Enter.
Once the disk check is complete and the prompt returns,     type mount -uw / and press Enter.
Type launchctl load     /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectoryd.plist and press     Enter.
Type ls /Users and press Enter. All of the     usernames on the computer will be listed, which is helpful if you don’t     know or remember what these are.
Type dscl . passwd /Users/username password     while replacing username with one of the users displayed in     the previous step and replacing password with the new password     of your choice. Press Enter. You will likely get an error message about a     file or directory not being found – it’s safe to ignore this.
Type reboot and press Enter.

I recently purchased a new computer and activated firefox sync and Bookmarks came across OK but without passwords. Went back to reload in event of error and user name and password that was accepted earlier now rejected.

As above sync worked but without passwords, all efforts to enter site to remedy were rejected and password reset refused. To my amazement when I came to file this question name and password was accepted.

this helped soo much thank you!

Irregular failure to authenticate OpenDirectory users via password-based ssh

TL;DR - my Yosemite Open Directory server irregularly fails to properly authenticate users (via password-based ssh).
I recently moved an Open Directory server from an Xserve running 10.6 to a new Mini running 10.10. I archived the OD config on the Xserve and then took it offline. Then I brought the Mini online using the same hostname/IP address, created a new OD master using the archived configuration. Everything seemed to work well, however sometimes the server will not authenticate users via password when logging in with ssh/sftp/scp. This is also true of a few OS X machines that bind to the OD server (i.e. they usually authenticate users properly, but sometimes fail for no discernable reason).
The failures are only for password authentication using ssh. Other mechanisms do not exhibit the auth failures. For instance, AFP and SMB user auth never fails (with proper credentials). Nor do users to a FileMaker Server machine that authenticate via the OD server have problems. Public key based ssh authentication never fails. Local accounts (non-OD, aka "Local Network Accounts") also do not fail using password-based authentication.
The failures are irregular. The only pattern that I can find at all is that sometimes when the failures start happening, they keep happening continuously until...at some point they work properly again. That is, they may fail from 11:15 am to 2:01 pm, and if so, then all of them fail in that time range. Sometimes that time range lasts seconds, sometimes it lasts hours.
The time range failure pattern is host specific. For instance, if password authentication is failing on the main OD server, authentication may be fine on the other bound machines. If authentication is failing on one of the bound machines, then it may be fine on all others and fine on the OD server itself.
The failure pattern does not seem to correlate to any other events or activity on the server (even remotely). CPU utilization never gets above about 15%. Memory utilization is similarly very low. Network traffic is occasionally high, but it does not seem in any way related to the auth failures. There are not other log messages that occur before or after the failures with any consistency.
I've been monitoring the auth failures by attempting to login to the OD server and two other bound hosts once per minute so that I can tell when the auth is failing (before getting calls from the users).
The adaptive firewall is not running on the OD server. Nor is any other firewall.
Below are a comparison of the system.log entries for a failed and successful auth (I've stripped out those lines that are identical in both instances). The log entries have been sanatized as described.
Rebooting the OD server does not affect the bound clients' authentication. Rebooting the OD server is problematic, and I cannot do it often. When I do, sometimes failures start soon after reboot, and sometimes that don't come back for many hours - again, no discernable pattern.
If anyone has any ideas what I can do to discover the source of this problem and come up with a solution, I'd very much appreciate it. Note that I'm aware that I can export all users and group and reconstruct a new, clean OD master, but without the ability to save the passwords, this becomes a large logisitcal problem, and I'm saving it as a last resort (particularly since if it doesn't solve my problem, I will have inconvenienced many users and be right back in the same place).
Thanks for reading.

My Yahoo email account worked just fine on my iPhone 4S for the last 2 months. Then this morning I started receiving the apple.imap.mail,yahoo error. I tried all of the steps above in solving the yahoo email issue including numerous hard re-sets and deletions of my yahoo account settings without any success. So I gave up trying to use the default Yahoo setup option. I added my Yahoo account back as an "other" type email account and then had the option to choose to set it up as a "POP" account instead of an IMAP type. I then just used the server settings recommended from Yahoo Help for a Yahoo Plus Email POP (or just google yahoo plus email pop settings). This works and I am back in business.
I'm not sure if this will work for yahoo mail classic accounts.
Frustrating that this issue seems to have been going on for quite awhile and Apple still as not made any acknowledgement of this issue or proposed a fix for those of us that can not resolve the issue with a reset.

Automatic Adobe Update for users without admin privileges

Hi there,
I have a PC with Windows 7 Professional (32bits) and Adobe Reader (9.4.6)
I have selected "Automatically install updates" in Preferences --> Updater:
The problem is: when a normal user (without admin privileges) is using the system, it turns up an Adobe Box which asks the user to install the Update:
But when the user tries to update, it asks to insert the admin password.
How can I solve this? I would like Adobe Reader updates to be downloaded and automatically installed for users in my PC without admin privileges. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Pablo

Anyone have any further insight into this? Is there a way to simply give the user admin creds but only for Adobe Reader that would permit users to do thier own updates?
I don't want to have to constantly update the MSI I am deploying with GP/LUP if possible.

[Solved] NetworkManager-pptp VPN not working after update to 0.9.10

Hello,
I have a PPTP VPN set up and it's been working for a long time. However, after I updated last night to networkmanager-0.9.10, it is no longer able to connect to the remote network. I can activate the VPN connection, enter my password, but after a short period of time, the connection reports: "Error: Connection activation failed: the VPN service returned invalid configuration." As I mentioned before, this VPN was working right before the update and I didn't change the configuration on either my computer or the destination network so I'm pretty sure that this is something to do with the update. I'm wondering if anybody else has run into this problem and if they've been able to find a solution. I've been searching all over these forums and the internet for some hours now and I haven't found anything yet. I'm hoping that somebody might be able to point me in the right direction or maybe know of something that might have changed with the new update.
Here is my VPN configuration (using NetworkManager-PPTP. I've also obscured the public IP address):

If you've gotten this far, thank you for taking the time to read through all this! Any help that you can give would be much appreciated.

Hmm, not sure about the 3.16 series kernel, but I found that when I upgraded to kernel 3.18 the PPTP VPN also stopped working. This time, though, it was because, for some reason, there was a change in kernel 3.18 where the firewall kernel modules necessary for the VPN don't get loaded so the firewall won't allow some of the PPTP traffic from the remote side back in. Since the firewall is stateful, these modules need to be loaded so that the firewall can know that the incoming PPTP traffic from the remote side is part of an existing connection. Here's what my network manager logs looked like:

To fix this, I had to add a file to the /etc/modules-load.d directory to have the modules loaded into the kernel at boot. I just created a file called netfilter.conf and put the following in it:
nf_nat_pptp
nf_conntrack_pptp
nf_conntrack_proto_gre
Not sure if this addresses your problem or not, but maybe it's worth a look.
