Switch from List of user to username and password fields?

I have my Login Window to display a List of Users by default.
Is there is shortcut key that switches to username & password fields so one can type in the username as well as the password?
I googled it and I found something like "hold opt+return and click on any username", does not work though...
I know that I can change it in System Pref. but it would be handy to know the shortcut key as well.
Thanks.

The "Option"-"Enter" trick should still work from the keyboard - use the arrow keys or type the first few letters of a listed name to highlight a username, then press "Option-Return":
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25686
As I recall, to do the same thing with keyboard + mouse, the modifiers to be used when clicking did change between 10.3 and 10.4 so some of what you find on the web may be out of date.

  • Made a bad change to login options under user preferences, changed from "List of users" to "Name and password". I shut the computer down, now I can't login in when I turn the computer back on.  What can I do to fix this problem?

    Have Migrated data from IMAC to Macbook twice.  Because I had too many admin ids under user and accounts preferences, I was trying not to delete the extras but that they wouldn't all show at login time.  Under Login Options, I clicked out  "List of Users" and clicked in "Name and password".  Can't remember whether I did anything else.  I shut down the computer and turned it back on to test the change.  I get a dark grey screen with all my admin ids in circled pictures plus one for guest, but doesn't let me do anything with any of the admin ids.  I clicked on any one and nothing happens.  IF i click on the guest circle, it gives me a message that the computer will restart with only Safari allowed.
    Since I haven't been able to connect my macbook to my IMac so I can login to the macbook through the Imac, I can't get to my macbook.  There must be a way to fix this problem.  I expected to see places to enter name and password but nothing is allowed to enter.  Please help!

    First thing I would do would be to boot in to Lion Recovery (Command+R on boot) and run Disk Utility, both disk and permissions repair.

  • How to access to SSO username and password from JPDK

    Hello
    Does anybody know how to access, from Java PDK, to SSO username
    and password of user, currently connected to portal.
    Thank's,
    Tomaz Podbersic

    The portal user's password is one way hash algorithm (MD5) that
    cannot be reversed.
    What you'll have to do is setup a "External Application" and
    save an alternate username/password profile in that area. It
    requires the user to first enter that data (but only 1 time) the
    first time into that application.
    ===========================================
    <HELP NOTE>
    If anyone knows of an API to populate those tables when seeding
    or creating the user names to also seed or create the "external
    applications" user /pass this would be helpful.
    ============================================
    JSP java code:
    ====================
    PortletRenderRequest portletRequest = (PortletRenderRequest)
    request.getAttribute (HttpProvider.PORTLET_RENDER_REQUEST);
    ProviderUser myUser=(ProviderUser) portletRequest.getUser();
    =====================
    From this object instance you can get the user's name, and other
    Portal session info. NOT password.
    The External Application username & password is a bit more
    tricky to get.

  • How can I get the username and password from Oracle Forms to PJC !

    Dear Sir,
    I have username,password and push button fields in oracle forms. When user clicks the push button, I need to get username and password field contents to my Pluggable Java Program to authenticate the user trying to login. How can I get those text field contents to my java program..? Looking forward from you soon sir.
    Thanks in Advance,
    S Ramkumar

    I tried that trigger but nothing reflects. I write that method in WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED trigger.
    In the form module I written,
    Set_Custom_Property('BL.USERNAME',1,'NAME','');
    Set_Custom_Property('BL.PASSWORD',1,'PASS','');
    Implementation class of the push button I gave my java class file name.
    In Java Code I tried register the form fields like,
    public static final ID userName = ID.registerProperty("NAME");
    public static final ID passWord = ID.registerProperty("PASS");
    In Java Code I tried get the contents from registered properties,
    public boolean setProperty(ID property, Object value) {
    if(property == userName) {
    System.out.println("Just I wish to see the name entered" + value.toString());
    if(property == passWord) {
    System.out.println("Just I wish to see the pass entered" + value.toString());
    But even System.out.println() is working.
    What's wrong with this code sir ???
    Can you tell me How to register and get those field values in Java ?

  • Obtaining a Subjects username and password from a servlet

    Ok probably an easy one for people out there. I don't even know if it is
    possible.
    I have a servlet that has BASIC authentication going on (lets say it's using
    WebLogic 7.0 default security realm). From the servlet I need to explicitly
    obtain the user's username AND password. I have no problem retrieving the
    principal it's the password I can't get a hold of. I've tried all sorts of
    things like:
    javax.security.auth.Subject subject =
    weblogic.security.Security.getCurrentSubject(); and then trying to get the
    private credentials. No luck though.
    Any ideas? Is it possible?
    Mich

    Thanks for the response Neil.
    I need the password because my servlet is accessing a secure Web service.
    When connecting to the Web service I need to provide the username and
    password of the user (these are passed in String format) and I don't want to
    have the user provide username and password again when accessing the
    external Web service. So really I need to access the WLS security realm
    (where my servlet is executing) to obtain the current user's username and
    password. Will the default credential mapper in WLS give me the username
    and password in text format...from the limited documentation I have read it
    doesn't appear to. Is this correct?
    Mich
    "Neil Smithline" <[email protected]> wrote in message
    news:[email protected]..
    The password is not stored in the Subject. We do this to reduce the
    risk of the password being snooped from WLS's memory. If you wish you
    could write a LoginModule that puts the password in the private
    credentials and then creates an authentication provider that uses that
    LoginModule and make it part of the current realm.
    In general there is no way to get the password from within WLS. The
    passwords are stored in a salted one-way hashed format that is not
    reverse decryptable except via exhaustive search.
    Why do you need the password? If it is for a remote access can you use
    the credential mapper?

  • How to delete websites, usernames, and passwords from safari preferences

    ok, selected safari menu, preferences and passwords. took me to a list that showed website, username and password. i selected a website/username/password that i would like to delete. at the bottom it shows "remove all" or "remove". btw, when i selected the website/username/password, it became highlighted. anyway, when i selected remove, the highlight disappeared but the website/username/password remained in the list.
    is there a way to delete the website/username/passwords that i choose?

    Thank you.
    That seems to have done the trick.
    I simply deleted them in Keychain and the seem to have gone from Safari Pref's.
    Quite why they didn't take no for an answer from Safari I don't quite understand, but matters not.

  • Setting username and password

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create local users in my Switch /Routers with different privileges. My requirement is when the user telnets to Switch /Router , he should get a screen with username rather than using login command from unprivileged mode . Now to to login , I telnet to Router and from there(unprivileged mode) I use login command to put the user name and then password.
    Regards,
    Raju

    Try this:
    username helpdesk prvilege 1 password helpdesk
    username admin privilege 15 password admin
    line vty 0 4
    login local
    line con 0
    login local
    Of course change the usernames and passwords according to your schema, but the key to this config is the 'login local' command on vty and con. This will prompt the user for username and password before even allowing them to access the user prompt.
    HTH,

  • VM Role Authoring Tool - Disable AdminCredential username and password in the UI and provide hardcoded value

    I am want to keep AdminCredential as a parameter in VM Role Authoring Tool but I do not want user to be able to able to provide the password. As an Enterprise, we have a password policy that we use for Admin Password. The reason i want to keep it as an parameter
    is because if we ever decide to change the policy, i do not have to go back and change it at 100 places it was used. I just change the parameter value and it gets applied everywhere.
    This is what i have tried so far:
    I added the AdminCredential parameter in the separate category. I made
    Configurable to No and provided DefaultValue
    in the format Administrator:Password1 in the parameter and imported the definition in the Admin Portal. Now Administrator:Password1 shows up in the username field and password is still editable.
    In short, if possible, i do not want users to see the AdminCredential parameter. If i cannot hide the parameter, i want to disable username and password fields and provide hard coded value for it.
    Is there a way to achieve what i am trying to do?

    The assumption with Azure Pack is that the OS is Server and the OS has been generalized.
    Now, in the Azure Pack world this local admin credential is actually a special credential.  You cannot take it away, but you can set a default value in the designer.
    If a default value is set, you may be able to hide it from the view definition (I am not sure, since this is a special parameter), but you cannot remove the parameter from the resource itself.
    And a credential in Azure Pack gets interpreted to a username plus password string.
    I have added secondary accounts that capture a password string and a username (as strings, not credentials).  But again, I am not positive that this is allowed.
    Sorry for not having a straight answer, maybe someone will jump in with a better one.

    Lately I have been getting a rectangular screen titled Login Setting, with my Username and Password and asking me to Login.  This screen shows up on opening the computer and has never been seen before the last month or so.  It has one box titled Login Credentials with a username and password field and a second box titled Login Status at the bottom where it says "Profile not found" in red.   I've never seen this before and ignoring it does not effect any operations.   Is this legitimate or some kind of identity fishing?

  • Can you set username and password when using OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL?

    If you have a PSP that runs under a DAD that includes username and password and therefore doesn't require users to log in and you want it to do OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL to another PSP that runs under another DAD that normally requires login using basic database authentication and the first PSP already "knows" the user's username and password, is there any way to use them to skip the login dialog of the second page? Maybe hack into the request and use UTL_HTTP.SET_AUTHENTICATION somehow...?

    That doesn't seem to work, and trying that kind of url directly from the browser says "invalid syntax error", so maybe Oracle appserver just doesn't let you do that.
    I got the idea of trying to add an authorization header:
    OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER(BCLOSE_HEADER => FALSE);
    HTP.P( 'Authorization: Basic mybase64encodedcredentials' );
    OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL('myurl', FALSE);
    OWA_UTIL.HTTP_HEADER_CLOSE;
    ...but it didn't work either and with a little further thought I guess it's obvious why: any code here modifies the response header for this request, not the request header for the redirect.

  • External apps in portal r showing username and password on address bar

    Hai all
    We r usign apps 11.5.3 and 9iAS 9.0.2.0.1.
    Portal 9.0.2.2.14a.
    I regesterd apps as External application to portal and supplied username and password fields.
    It is regestered succesfully and the external application link is working fine.
    When I fisttime accessed link it asked for username and password.
    I could logged in successfully to apps but the user name and pasword r appearing on the address bar of apps page.
    Even my.oracle which is configured bydefault during portal installation is showing user name and password on the addressbar.
    Is there a way to hide them from appearing in address bar.
    regards,

    You can deploy the external application link for your oracle apps as a url item in a region. Enable the check box to open this url in a new browser window. Hide the toolbars for this new window using javascript. Hope this helps...
