TV Access Connections per-user settings?

I needed to set up a 2nd user acct profile on my T500 (Win XP Pro) to use for a special purpose and need for the Wireless Radio to be powered off when this user's desktop loads (same as clicking the TVAC icon in the system tray and choosing Power Off Wireless Radio).
So far my experience has been that any TVAC changes made while using the 2nd user account are carried over to the 1st user acct, and vice-versa. I would like settings to be on a per-user basis and not applied globally to all users. Is this possible, and if so how can I do it?
Using the system tray icon, I was able to have the radio powered off in the 2nd acct and powered on in the 1st acct. And when the 2nd user's desktop loads the icon is in fact powered off, at least initially, but then the auto-connect popup appears and automatically powers on the radio. If I could configure the 2nd acct to not attempt to connect automatically that would work for me, but I can't figure out how that is possible.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Frank

Access Connections and 2 users

I run Access Connections 4.42 as default for configuring network access on a T61with XP SP2. When two users are logged in Access Connections fails with: Access Connections is being used by another user... If I click ok,then I'm unable to set any network settings. When I log out second user it takes some minutes because some programs won't stop: The Message appears LPManager has no reaction and then ACWLIconWnd has no reaction.. If I abort immeadiatly by task manager log out proceeds. Then log in to the first user will crash function of ThinkVantage key and you cant start any Lenovo ThinkVantage Programs (Access Connections too). To get proper function you need to reboot.
Is there any way to make Access Connections working with two users like windows XP manage network connections when several user are loged (Registry settings...)?
Otherwise how can I stop running Access Connections temporaly when working with two users?
Is there any program with quite similar functions for maniging network profiles....?

hi sreedhar,
data: c(100) type c.
data: l_amnt(100) type c.
data: length type i.
data: offset type i.
l_amnt = '1,234,567.89'.
replace all occurrences of ',' in l_amnt with '#'.
replace all occurrences of '.' in l_amnt with ','.
replace all occurrences of '#' in l_amnt with '.'.
length = strlen( l_amnt ).
offset = length - 3.
translate c+offset(1) using '.,'.
write : l_amnt.

Access Connections v4.52 - user rights in locked down environment

I'm currently working on a small project to deploy various Lenovo wireless drivers, Access Connections v4.52, Hotkey and Power Management drivers via SMS but have come across a slight issue with Access Connections that I can't seem to resolve.
I'm hoping to provide my locked down users with a selection of standard profiles that are copied to their machines on logon but would also like to give them the ability to create and modify new ones too - this is where I'm having problems.
Through Group Policy I have set:
Allow Windows users without administrator privileges to create and apply WLAN location profiles using Find Wireless Network function
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Lenovo\AccessConnection\EnableCreateProfilewithFWN 1
Allow Windows users without administrator privileges to create and apply location profiles
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Lenovo\AccessConnection\EnableUserMode 1
I have also manually set the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\Access Connections\Install\AllowPrfCreationThruFWN 1
I couldn't find a key for the 'EnableUserMode' option
Unfortunately, none of these give standard users access to create or modify profiles.
Have any of you come across this in your environment and if so did you manage to come up with a suitable solution?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
the steps, that you performed are correct.
However I would not do the last step:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\Access Connections\Install\AllowPrfCreationThruFWN 1
This might cause confusiong.
I have just tested it in here and it's working fine with the 5.x version of AC

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.

Access Connections Problems With Windows 7 and Microsoft Security Essentials

There appears to be a conflict with Access Connections and Microsoft Security Essentials which causes Microsoft Security Essentials to generate high page faults and high CPU usage, and prevents normal operation of Access Connections.
After fresh install and reboot Access Connections would not launch, and when cursor was moved to the taskbar, the cursor pointer changed to a spinning loop. Clicking on the Access Connections gadget did nothing. Looking at Task Manager, Microsoft Security Essentials program msmpeng.exe was experiencing 5000+ page faults per interval. Terminating msmpeng.exe immediately caused Access Connections to launch.
System configuration: Lenovo Thinkpad x200s with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 RTM (installed with a fresh install) with all current updates, and all updates from Leovo including Access Connections V 5,42 Build 6JC725WW,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here is a workaround to fix the issue
1) Launch MS Security Essentials
2) Click on the "settings" tab
3) Click on "Excluded files & Locations"
4) Click "Add"
5) browse and add the following exceptions
a) C:\Users\Public\Lenovo\Access connections
b) C:\Users\Public\Lenovo\Access connections\AccConnAdvanced.html
6) Click "Save Changes"
The issue is also resolved in AC 5.5 which is posted to the web
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-73682
Can someone please test both solutions and let me know if the issue is resolved.

An OS-Intergrated place to store per-user application configuration files.

A Chairde,
I'm developing an application that could be deployed on multiple platforms. I'm looking for a location to store per-user configuration files in a OS-integrated way.
I use a utility class to determine the OS of the users machine. I know from experience that Windows NT5+ likes to store per-user settings/configurations in the %APPDATA% path (which is usually C:\Users\<username>\Appdata\Roaming\<vendor>\<software> etc.) I'm using a call to the environment labels to determine it's location.
I'm a linux user myself, so I'm aware that most UNIX based Operating Systems like to store personal configurations in hidden folders in the user's home directory (ex /home/<username>/.<application> etc.), Obviously, I'm using a call to the system property user.home to determine that location.
My Question is in relation to Mac OS and Mac OS X, where would it be a safe location to store per-user configurations? I know OS X is BSD/UNIX based so is it safe to assume to store them as a hidden subfolder of the user.home directory? What about Mac OS classic? Where are per-user settings stored, or is it like Windows 9x and NT4 and lacks proper multi-user setups (although NT4 is somewhat more prepared then 9x) ?
It would be much appreciated if anybody has any ideas.
Is Mise,
Seán Mac Aodha
PS. I'm not using Javas Property files etc. I've rolled my own exchangeable format for storing key,value pairs.

I've used databases in the past to store local files but clients have sometimes run into trouble when the database daemon goes down or doesnt start-up normally because of a "improper" shutdown etc.
In my own implementation of "Settings Files" i have serialized hashtables marked with appropriate metadata stored to the users "application data", a backup or original copy of those settings in the common directory shared by my application framework and then in a networked enviroment, the Settings can be hosted on a database server, so the user can travel between client machines and keep their settings (and files) with them.
I have, with a bit of googling, come across the most obvious page i should have looked at in regards to Apple Mac OS X
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFileSystem/Articles/WhereToPutFiles.html
According to Apple's guidlines, the most suitable place to store User configuration files is in the ~/Library/Application Support/<Application Name> directory.
and for System-wide configuration files, /Library/Application Support/<Application Name> rather then storing them with the application in the /Applications directory.

Problem with Access Connection

Hi there At the moment I am using Lenovo T61 with Vista Business & SP1. In addition I have got the Access Connection v 5.12 and Intel Wireless card number 4965agn.I saw that, when Wireless network is open my T61 can established connection with more than 130Mb transfer both by access connection and Vista systems settings. Unfortunately when I set WPA/WPA2 security my T61 by vista settings can establish connection more than 130Mb but by access connection is established only 54Mb. I also saw that Access connection establish 802.11g standard (when the WPA is set) instead 802.11n. (When Wireless network is open then established 802.11n standard).Is possible to get any hotfix to Access Connection to solve this problem? RegardsPawel

any idea?

Access Connections best practice

I like the idea of having Lenovo Access Connection change the appropriate settings depending on you network location. Like turning off wifi when you are cabled.
Althoguh I often find it to be creating more problems than gains.

How to change Decimal Notation based on User settings programmatically?

Hello All,
Like cl_abap_datfm=>conv_date_ext_to_int and cl_abap_datfm=>conv_date_int_to_ext which changes the date format ,is there any class/method which changes the number format......I mean decimal and thousand separator format. I have to do that based on the User settings which I am getting from USR01 table. But not getting any class/method where I have to submit the number along with the format to get the format as per user settings.
Thanks in Advance.
regards.
Sarbajit.

Hi Sarbajit,
No need for FM. Try like below using 'Write To' statement,
Declare a variable of type P.
Move ur number to that variable.
Then Write that variable to variable of type Char.
Now Char variable will contain value according to the User Decimal Settings.
PARAMETERS: num TYPE i DEFAULT 9999. " Enter ur number
DATA: qty TYPE p DECIMALS 3, " Variable of Packed type
            ch(13) TYPE c. " Character variable
qty = num.
WRITE qty TO ch.     " According to Decimal format in SU01, value is written
WRITE ch.

"Make proxy settings per-machine (rather than per user)" Group Policy setting not applied until login as a local Administrator

We want to deploy to all our desktop the pac file to configure proxy. We have a Windows 2008 R2 server, and i've enabled the GPO "Make proxy settings per-machine (rather than per user)", and i've add a registry key AutoConfigURL in "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current
Version\Internet Settings" with the pac file link.
I've tested on my pc, and all was configured without any problem. I've try to login to my computer with another user (without admin rights) and the automatic configuration proxy was compiled and not modificable. It's seems that all works.
But, our users are not local admin, so i've tried to deploy the GPO in a collegue computer. I've forced the update of GPO, checked on registry that all new keys are added, and i've reboot the pc. When i've check on IE settings, autoconfig URL was empty and
grey. I'm disconnected from user and i've login to the pc with a local admin. With my surprise, the IE settings was compiled. When i'm come bac to the user profile the IE settings was compiled and not modificable.
The problem is: i've over 750 users in 3 countries, and i don't want grant them the local admin permissions. How can i configure proxy settings via GPO without login to every machine at least one time?

In the past, we experienced various issues with machine proxy settings,
so we don't use them anymore. The simple approach:
Block access to the connections page through ADM template settings and
deploy the proxy through GPP Internet Settings.
This is what we do (with a pac file, too), and it works well :)

Permit only one access per user on guest portal Cisco ISE

Hi,
Could you please help me to figure it out if it´s possible to create a guest account on cisco ISE which permit only one concurrent access?
We don't want to have multiple devices registering with the same account, just one different account for each device.
Thanks,

Hi Gino,
You can restrict guests to having only one device connected to the network at a time. When guests attempt to connect with a second device, the currently-connected device is automatically disconnected from the network.
This is a global setting affecting all Guest portals.
Step 1 Choose Administration > Web Portal Management > Settings > Guest > Portal Policy.
Step 2 Check the Allow only one guest session per user option.
Step 3 Click Save.

ThinkVantage Access Connections and Limited User Account (LUA) on XP SP3

Is it really so that one has to be logged on with at least Power User privileges to get the Access Connections utility working properly with 3G/HSDPA? When logging on as a Limited User, the computer can find all the cell phone operators nearby but does not let to do a connect. But when logged on as a Power User, all problems go away.
I would not like to bump up my user privileges from Limited User to Power User, since all else seems to work fine with a Limited User Account. Any ideas about what is going wrong -- or did I just hit into a wall here?
The environment in question is Thinkpad X200 and XP SP3. Access Connections and the HSDPA driver are the latest ones I could find from the Lenovo driver download site (Access Connections v. 5.21, Ericsson HSDPA driver v. 1.0.1046.221).
Would there be any other way to use 3G connections than to use the Access Connections utility (without changing to another o/s)?

Hi Sami,
I just got stuck on the same problem as you and following is what I found in details fro ThinkVantage Access Connections version 5.30. Hope this helps.
Jakub
<Limited User>
A Limited user can create and apply only modem profiles. However, if
Administrator sets "Allow Windows users without administrator
privileges to create and apply location profiles" option in the
Global settings then the user can create and apply any kinds of
profiles in the system.
Also, a limited user cannot:
1. Edit setting for the Automatic Ethernet and Wireless location
profiles switching.
2. Edit Global settings.
3. Edit profiles created by another user in the system.
4. Renew or release IP in the Diagnostics panel.
5. Export profiles.
The limitations on Power user also apply on Limited user.

Access Connections on Windows 7 with Standard User Privilege

My company is developing a Windows 7 Professional image based on Lenovo’s factory build. One of the key objectives to this image is to get our users away from being Administrators (admin) on their systems to greatly reduce the security risks associated with admin privileges. One of the ThinkVantage utilities we have found most valuable to our laptop users is Access Connections (AC). In our initial testing we have found that AC does not allow for the creation or modification of connection Profiles as a standard user.
Is there any way to configure AC so it does not require admin privilege to create and manage profiles?
Thanks

Hi,
yes, the previous post is the correct one.
Just one note, in case you want to deploy some network connections to multiple users, then you can use the .LOA files, where you can also distribute specific configuartion settings for the end user. All that is needed, once the .LOA file is on please is to restart the both AC services and you are ready to go.
This is just a note, in case you have >1000 users which you would like to administrate.
Cheers
