Unable to log out connected users, bug.

The problem: When another user is logged in with unsaved changes and I try to shut down, I get a dialog box telling me the situation and that I need to enter an admin name and password in order to shut down. However it always returns an 'incorrect name and password' message.
This has happened on my old emacs and on both my new imac G5's. I've tried long and short names with passwords. Nada. I've even tried creating a new admin account and using that to shut down. Nada.
Anyone else able to reproduce this problem?

Hi JOn, this seems to be profound in Leopard. ...not older versions
THE FIX IS VERY VERY SIMPLE..
This is simply after entering the userid and password of the 'admin' level user at the PROMPT,
PRESS the * RETURN key**!.
and it will work.
do not use the mouse click.
Yes I know this sounds ridiculous, but several of my relatives in other countries on 10.5.x had this problem with their kids logged in using fast user switching .
see this too: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6574671#6574671
Try it.. works fine.

Unable to log out standard user

A standard user is logged in on my iMac. I am unable to log him out because we forgot the password and there are no hints. I signed in as administrator to the Users & Groups to see if I could discover the password or reset it. But, it appears that no changes can be made to a standard user account if the user is logged in. Isn't there a way we can just delete the account?

Restart the computer.

Logging out all users

To perform a back-up I want to log out all users. Currently I use the 'unloadapp' ESSCMD, but this does not seem to log out users who are currently retrieving data. As a result my back-up fails.Does the 'logoutallusers' command log of all users (active, inactive)?Regards,JG

Howdy!We do this via script for each application using the following essmsh syntax:"alter application appname disable connects;"This works great. We then re-establish any connections that we killed with the following statement:"alter application appname enable connects;"Hope this helps!JR

Hi there,
To log a user out of the Portal I decided to go the route of: UMFactory.getAuthenticator().logout(req, res)
Code is below.
Thanks for your replies,
- Vik.
<code>
IAuthentication Authen = UMFactory.getAuthenticator();
HttpServletRequest req = request.getServletRequest();
HttpServletResponse res = request.getServletResponse(true);
//logoff user from Portal
Authen.logout(req, res);

Logging out a user

Hi,
I'm new to WebLogic, and I'm trying to figure out how to log out a user. I am currently using Authenticate's logout method (weblogic.security.auth.Authenticate.logout(weblogic.security.Security.getCurrentSubject()),
and it seems to work, but the user who was just logged out can't log in in the same browser until another user has logged in and out. I've tried destroying all the cookies and ivalidating the current session, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Dmitriy

Actually, most importantly in our logout procedure we must set loggedIn to false in a database table.
We've talked about having the clients send a "heartbeat" to the model residing on the OraAS. If we do not get a heartbeat for a set number of times we could "time out" a client. If we were to go this route, we'll have to register the clients (probably by IP) and spawn a new thread for this service.
Does anyone feel this is not the route to go? Is there anything a bit more KISS to implement. Obviously this adds a bit more complication and more points of failure to our current system.

How to log out all users from Application to switch partitions?

Hi,
We currently use a maxl script to switch over active partitions and as you may know, users need to be logged out when this happens. The current script we use is:
alter system logout session on application ABANSWER force;
alter system kill request on application $4;
alter system kill request on application FCSTA3;
alter system kill request on application FCSTA4;
alter system kill request on application HISTA;
alter system kill request on application ABANSWER;
drop transparent partition ABANSWER.REPORT from $4.$2;
Quite often we seem to get the issue that some user can't be logged out because they are running something intensive and this causes the partition switch to fail.
Does anyone know a better way to do log out the users or kill the sessions so we can reliably switch the partitions? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Arfan

that means that the app was purchased under that seperate apple id. u will need to delete the app and redownload it using the yahoo one if u want to be able to update it.

Account log out without user consent

Hi all,
There are 4 separate user accounts under my MacBook Pro running Lion. Today I logged into one account and then used switch user to switch to another account.
When I wanted to switch back to the previous account, it appeared to be logged out. I didn't do it, and was not sure about what caused it.
May I ask whether anyone has the same issue or knows the causes and solutions?
Thanks a lot.

>>At the Log in Screen I guess there is no way to log out a user unless you log in and log off.
That's true, other than restart, which gives you the option, while warning that they may lose unsaved changes.

You can log off a user without first logging into their account, as shown in the following...
It works at least in Mac OS 10.6. I don't know about Mavericks.
It does work, and testing here, on the next login, windows & apps are just as they were left for the other user, even just-edited & unsaved files... no promises though.

Log out other user - what if I do not know who they are?

I work in a hostel and use a computer that has two user accounts. When I plug my iShuffle on my user account (that is only used by me) in the following warning comes up:
"Another user on this computer is using the iPod software, so iTunes is unable to communicate with this iPod. Please ask the other user to log out?"
I do not know who the other user is, so cannot log them out. Is there a way of fixing this without re & de-installing the software?
Windows XP

-Open the Task Manager (press CTRL-SHIFT-ESC).
-Click the Processes tab.
-Find the iPodService.exe, select it, and End Process it.
-Repeat for iTunes.exe and iTunesHelper.exe, if they are there.
-Close the Task Manager.
-Start iTunes again.

Clients get stuck when logging out current user

I'm using ARD 3.1 to control 9 different Macs (from G4's with 10.3.9 to Dual G5's with 10.4.8, all with 3.1 clients, all with several user accounts) in the same company in Germany. I'm connected to the company through an SSH tunnel all the time.
Some of these Macs regulary go to "ARD Not Active" after I log out any current user from the Apple menu on that computer (i. e. if I want to log out the admin and switch back to some normal user).
From my end it then looks as if this computer would be down, but actually the computer is still on and seems to be in some kind of deep sleep that can only be ended by hitting some keys on the keyboard in Germany or sometimes even only by restarting the computer.
This happpens frequently on 3 of these 9 computers. 2 of them have 10.4.8 and 1 has 10.4.6. The same thing also happened all the time with ARD 3.0.
Any idea what this might be and how I could fix this? It's often very annoying because I have to wait for the next day before I can continue to work on these computers.
Thanks and greetings

Part of your problem sounds like the energy saver settings are putting the machine to sleep. You might be able to wake them simply by executing a "Wake" command on the computers.
You could also set the energy saver settings to not allow the machines to go to sleep.

JD3.2; BC4J; JSP; logging out connections

We have developed user connections by building on Juan's application pool example
[href] http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum2/HTML/006025.html
[href]
But we would like to be able to log users out. Is there a way of doing this cleanly?
We would like to present the users with a log-out button that resolves any uncompleted transactions, closes down the session and frees any outstanding database locks.
The biggest single problem we have with BC4J on the database is that it doesn't tidy up its locks if the transaction fails for any reason. And given that JServ only supports Servlet API 2.0 session failures happen all too frequently.
There seems to have been a couple of postings on this issue, but no replies for the JDev team.

public void setReleaseApplicationResources(boolean release){
m_rsBrowser.setReleaseApplicationResources(release);
}the last thing i do in the render method of the RS bean is: m_rsBrowser.render(); which in turn the last thing this bean do is: releaseApplicationResources(); so my code is equivalent to the recomendation you did.
but ph is subclassing ViewCurrentRecord so the equivalent of your recomendation is:
ph.render();
RS.render();
ph.setReleaseApplicationResources(true);
ph.releaseApplicationResources();
Right? I did it this way and throws me the same error.
Q. remains:
1)What does mean the Error Message: Component object XXXX has no parent?
2) Under what circumstances the previous error throws?
3) How I can recover my application from this error?
4) is My application is going to degrade?(i've changed all the setReleaseApplicationResources to false) to make it work.
Thank you for your interest. Help please.

Unable to log in to user account

I just upgraded my Mac OS X 10.2.8 Server to Mac OS X 10.4.8 Tiger. I used the Archive and Install Option and selected the Preserve Users and Network Settings option. It installed, and I restarted the system. When the log in screen came up I attempted to log in to the administrator account. After I typed in the password it gave me the following error message:
You are unable to log in to the user account "[account name]" at this time.
Logging into the account failed because an error occured. The home folder for the user account is located on an AFP or SMB server.
I am able to log into another administrative user account, but it is not the main account. Is it doing this because I upgraded from a server OS to a regular OS? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Unable to log in to user account after installing windows 7 using Bootcamp

Hi everyone,
I need help. I have been at it for days, I have googled every which way but I am not able to fix this. Basically my problem is that I am unable to log in to my user account after I used Bootcamp to install windows 7. I will explain what I did up until I couldn't log in.
I backed up my user account using Time Machine(I was logged in as the user). The account had FileVault activated and I neglected to disable FileVault before back up. I just didn't think to, it did not even occur to me! Then I partitioned Macintosh HD, I was doing this with my step son and he thought we were supposed to partition the hard drive first before running Bootcamp! After that was done, I couldn't run Bootcamp because obviously we had whipped the HD clean! Anyway, I reinstalled the OS X using the internet, after which I run Bootcamp and successfully installed windows 7. Then I went on to restore my account using Time Machine, only when I try to log in I get the error message "you are unable to log in to the user account at this time". I tried every possible solution I could find on here, including creating a new admin account, deleting the old account but saving the user folder and then routing the new account to the old user folder. Still nothing. I have tried logging in as a root user, reset the master password and deleted FileVault files from Library/keychain in the hope I would access the user account, but to no avail. What's more is that I can't even see the sparse bundle or sparse image files that people keep referring too. I can't even find it on the Time Machine back up! I then thought I would cut my losses and try system recovery using Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery (cost me £81) but it did not recover any of my photos, music, videos or documents.
I honestly can't come to terms with the fact that I am unable to login to an account with 3 years worth of pictures and documents. I am having a hard time letting go. Is there anyway possible to crack this?
Thank you in advance.
By the way, I am running Mountain Lion OX 10.8.4 on MacBook mid 2010

I have this exact problem. Installed Bootcamp on a networked iMac running Mountain lion and and can no longer log in to my Mac user account. Would love if any of the pro users on here can shed a bit of light.

Can administrator log out a user from application

Hi
My application has functionality to display all the logged in users of the application. This screen ia available to only administrators of the application. Now can the administrator logout any of the logged in users from his own screen? If yes then how?
Could you please give me some pointers?
Thanks & Regards
Inder Jeet Singh

there are several ways an administrator can do that. but that depends on the way you manage your sessions.
how are you getting the list of logged users? if it is from the database based on some field in some table then you can give the functionality to administrator to set that value to the logged out status(or whatever you are using).
but that depends on the way your application is keeping trak of the logged users.

Log Out Behavior - Users appear to stay logged in

I cannot get a user to logout using the Log Out User
behavior. I created a restricted page which displays the user's
name once logged in, however when the user logs out and a different
user id is used, the restricted page returns the first user's id. I
cannot get the first user cleared. Thought it might be cookies but
not sure. I'm using DW CS4's built in behaviors (no hand coding),
MySQL 5.1.11, and PHP 5.2.9-1. Any ideas

David I'll try to clarify.
I've built 1 test MySql database, and 3 test pages
(login.php, login_failure.php, and authorized.php).
database: 6 fields (recordID, userFirstName, userLastName,
userID, userPW, userAccess). userAccess values were 1 and 0, now
are admin and user. admin is the allowed value in this case.
Records in MySql InnoDB:
recordID: 1 (Primary Key)
userFirstName: User1
userLastName: User1 Last
userID: user1 (Indexed)
userPW: user
userAccess: admin
recordID: 2 (Primary Key)
userFirstName: User2
userLastName: User2 Last
userID: user2 (Indexed)
userPW: user
userAccess: admin
login.php: Has one behavior, Log In User with Restrict access
based on User, password and access level which is derived from
userAccess field in database. If successful, user goes to
authorized.php, if not, user goes to login_failure.php.
login_failure.php: No SB, simply presents user with message
that they are not authorized for access and a link to return to
login.php.
authorized.php: 4 SBs. Restrict Access to Page(), Recordset
(Recordset1), Dynamic Text (Recordset1.userFirstName), and Log Out
User. This page allows userAccess value "admin" from database and
presents user with text Welcome (Recordset1.userFirstName). There
is also the Log Out User link to log out.
Steps to recreate:
Set both userIDs userAccess to "admin" to allow access to
authorized.php
Login to login.php using userID "user1" and password "user"
Take me to authorized.php, with "Welcome User1" displayed
Click Logout
Login to login.php using userID "user2" and password "user"
Take me to authorized.php, with "Welcome User1" displayed
(note: supposed to be Welcome User2)
Click Logout
Change userAccess for userID "user1" to something other than
"admin"
Login to login.php using userID "user1" and password "user"
Takes me to login_failure.php as expected
Return to login.php via link
Login to login.php using userID "user2" and password "user"
(which is now the only auth user)
Take me to authorized.php, with "Welcome User1" displayed
(note: supposed to be Welcome User2)
Click Logout
The security part works as seen above. I just don't
understand why the authorization.php page always shows the first
record in the DB. That's why I was assuming that the Log Out User
function was not working.
