Unbreakable linux network login

hi all,
i have a problem to setup unbreakable linux network login becouse i dont have CSI:
Please help me....

I don't think your problem will be solved here since this is the Oracle Forms forum. Go to the Linux forum.

Unbreakable Linux Network Alert Icon - How to register?

Hi,
I just installed the Unbreakable Linux and when tried to use the up2date I get a message requesting to active my environment but I don't have a CSI as I'm an Oracle employee. Does anyone know how can I make it work?
Thanks
Claudio

Hello John,
I tried to subscribe to Unbreakable Linux Network with my company's CSI supplied to us through our Oracle partnership; I work for an Oracle Certified Advantage Partner. I have used my CSI for MetaLink registration and Service Requests, but it is not working when I try to register for "up2date" (error: "CSI is not valid").
Should my company's CSI work?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Unbreakable Linux Network

Sorry if this post is redundant or trivial.
We have Oracle 11.2 on Unbreakable 5.4 x_64.
My question is this. Is it possible to fetch patches for the DB through the Unbreakable Linux Network channels. Links so I can RTFM are most welcome.

Unbreakable Linux Network , new account creation error

Trying to isntall updates on my newly installed OELinux 4.7
Getting this error, Wondering why, and what's its fix? I think i am giving right CSI #, any way to confirm its right?
1 error has occurred
* The CSI you have entered is not valid for either Oracle VM or Enterprise Linux Support. Please enter a valid CSI.

1. get an oracle unbreakable CSI (by buying a license for it)
2. setup up2date with this CSI
3. register your machine

Unbreakable Linux Broken ?

I got the DVD with the Oracle magazine I get monthly. Installed it then went to the GUI updater
it asks me if I want to register I seay later up2date comes up I click launch up2date Nothing??? whats up do I need to pay for something first? (this isn't a Microsoft product is it?)

Hi,
The Enterprise linux is free download and free using.License just for someone wants to update from Unbreakable Linux Network(ULN offers access to Linux software patches, updates and fixes, along with information on up2date program and support policies. ULN subscribers will find security updates and additional bugfixes for kernel and other packages. They will also be able to download useful extra packages not included in the original distribution.) or entitle to get backport support from Oracle.See more detail please refer to http://linux.oracle.com
If you don't need those support service,it does needn't pay for anything.Please update this thread if you have any question about it.

How to make Firefox access the internet from Oracle Ent. Unbreakable Linux?

Hello
I have a Dell Duo Core x86 laptop that multiboots Windows 2003 Server, Windows XP and Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux. I use Internet Explorer to
access my email while at the library so I know my laptop can access the internet. I just installed the Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux in text mode and
I can still access the Internet but only if I use one of the Windows operating systems which is why I am keeping them for now. The reason is because when I
use Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux, when I select Firefox to access the internet I get these messages:
"Server not found
Firefox can't find server at www.hotmail.com
-check address for typing errors
-if unable to load pages check network connection
-if computer or network protected by firewall make sure Firefox permitted to access
web"
None of those reasons are true for not gaining access to the internet. I want to use Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux from now which is why I installed
but I need to know:
1) Why do I get the "Server not found" and the other error messages when I try to access the internet using Firefox and what do I have to do to make Firefox
access the internet successfully?

Hi,
First you must confirm your laptop with Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux can access internet.
Please open a terminal, input the following command
1.ifconfig
2.cat /etc/resolv.conf

Cant install oracle 10g release 2 on unbreakable linux

i have being trying to install oracle 10g re 2 on unbreakable linux.after installation i open the url for bot em/isqlplus and it works.but after restarting the system i type the command
emctl start dbconsole
it says command not found
pls help me any 1.

There is so much you aren't telling us. For example, if you created a user "oracle" to be the Oracle software owner and install the Oracle software with, there will be a directory named /home/oracle. Inside this directory will be a file called .bash_profile. You can put lines like export ORACLE_HOME=, export ORACLE_BASE= and export ORACLE_SID= so that your environment is set up when you login. Jeff Hunter has a lot of information like this on his website. Check it out.

Restricting allowed network logins

I'm hoping to find a way to restrict newtork logins.
I have an environment with both openldap on linux, and Active Directory directories available to authenticate against. These directories are synced, so it doesn't matter which directory service is used.
I have successfully authenticated using network logins with both of these directories.
My problem is that I have a group of semi-public computers, and I would like to limit the allowed network logins to a small list of users, rather than the whole directory.
On linux, I was able to do this with a hodgepodge of pam_ldap configurations, allowing login only if there was a local home directory. So I could manually add a user locally with their netowrk uid, but they would use thier network password.
Is there a method to do this with OS X? To restrict allowed network logins to a list of uids?

I tried the osascript line and killall -HUP loginwindow in a loginHook script without success.
If I run the loginHook script from the terminal..
"sudo /Library/Management/get-user-info.sh nghani"
it works fine but when I login as nghani..
no osascript and
no restricted login
From the debug file I know my script is running from the LoginHook and the logic is correct.
Am I missing something?
Please help!!!!

G5 Tower 1.8GHz Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Lion Server Setup (Network Login/Mobile Account and more...)

Hardware:
     Mac mini Intel Core i7, 2 GHz, 8 GB memory (Server)     x 1
     iMac 21.5" 2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 12 GB memory (Workstation)     x 6
Operating System:
    Mac OS X Server Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
     Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
Relevant Software:
     Server.app Version 10.7.4 (1.4.3)
     Workgroup Manager Version 10.7 (400.3)
     Server Admin Version 10.7 (355)
So my head's swimming with "I dunno's" and I've been perusing probably all the wrong threads trying not to sound like a noob and find the literature that will finally lead me to a solution. This is my first rodeo so make no assumptions about my experience (maybe).
Short Version
I can't login network users. I get an error "You are unable to log in to the user account "<%short_name%>" at this time. Logging in using >console tells me this No home directory: <path to home directory>    i.e. /Network/Servers/department.domain.com/Department/Accounts/bbunny
If anyone can point me where to read, I will do so.
Perhaps a longer discussion on how to verify that the proper permissions exist on the share/home directory in question and what those would be.
More detail...
I want to setup a Mac Mini server to have network login accounts stored on the 2nd data volume in a directory we shall call Accounts*. Here all the "network users/logins" have their home directories, so that when they login at the workstation the idea is the workstation will sync their account and allow them to login, if the server is not available, the hope is I can configure it to allow them to login if they've logged in before and the files will sync when they are able. That being the ideal, I get the impression that for best practices, Apple is discouraging the use of mobile accounts that use Home Sync perhaps because it's reliability has been iffy, please advise. A windows user might think of this as "roaming profiles" but, if I understand it, its a little more than that.
Note, I do not want to login to the server and actively work on that network share, I want the account to be local and sync'd as needed. But I want the user to be able to sit at any of the 6 other workstations and see the same documents, emails etc. Obviously if the server is down, it won't be possible to authenticate, but I think it should have cached credentials that should allow the user to login if the server is down and still go about their work.
This is the small picture...there is a larger picture that involves, parallel virtual machines of Windows Server 2008 R2 on server and and Windows 7 on the client, ical, ichat and perhaps wiki's.
I apologize for the roughness of this question, in the interest of brevity, I have plenty of problems that led me here that I can expound upon if asked.
Also a silly question someone might know the answer too, Why does the login payload settings that I have pushed to a workstation device, sometimes vanish inconsistently upon logout?

Ok, Some Good news and clearer understanding to disseminate in this post I hope it helps
"the Universe" so I am posting it here in my "ever-the-noob" blog on apple forums.
Problem
What do you do when you get an error when logging into a mobile account setup?
One symptom would be the error message below...
     "You are unable to log in to the user account "<%short_name%>" at this time.
Logging in using >console You get the message…
     "No home directory: <path to home directory>"
     or
     "You are unable to log in to the user account "<%short_name%>" at this time.
     Logging in using >console tells me this No home directory: <path to home directory>
Solution
Do the check list…
Short Version
Sever Admin.app > Access (Key Component)
Check Permissions on directories for your file shares.
(The reason stuff doesn't work especially when you're rebuilding/recovering a server)
File sharing setup (Turned ON, Home sharing Enabled)
Directory Utility > Directory Editor or dscl
( Do not underestimate the importance of this part!!!!
Use white-gloves when you're handling it though!!! )
Workgroup Manager
(You're poopy "main" interface that really is a "window", not a "door", but maybe Apple likes to do things "Dukes of Hazard" style?)
Long Version
Check Sever Admin.app > Access
Make sure that your user has the "Proper" access. For me I created a test user from Server.app and saw what access he had as a way to "check myself for a properly created users" and because I think one is kind of on his/her own using WGM and duplicated the same access. (I was a little neater, though and did it with a group, not individual users, that would have been a mess!)
Server Admin.app > Access
Click the "+" sign, sort by UID and Add the imported users to the following Services…
( You can use a group, but understand when Server.app creates users they get added
individually to each of these groups. )
Address Book
AFP
iCal
iChat
Mail
Profile Manager
SMB
VPN
Check Permissions on directories for your file shares.
          (That's an understatement) I could go in depth about all the crap I had to read about, I still
          know I am missing a chunk of tech brain when it comes to the particulars. Basically, I boil
          it down to this…
          Permissions require thinking about things first with regards to POSIX permissions... good
          ole ls, chmod, chgrp, chown to the rescue with ugo permissions or the old 755, 600 etc
          stuff.
          Apple's file-sharing access uses this as a starting point to see what the user is allowed to
          access.
          I also needed to use chflags once to unhide a file that I mucked around with using xattr.
          I still haven't figured out why folders can lose their triangles, but I didn't find out if you cp or
          move them from terminal, the triangles come back in the moved or copied directory. For a
          minute I thought it was because cp alone doesn't preserve flag attributes, but mv actually
          works by doing a cp that preserves the flags, unless it's a bug. I dunno.
          This helped me get my file visible again...
          chflags hidden path_to_file
          chflags nohidden path_to_file
          Read up on those manuals, if you're not a terminal type go to apples website
          http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/
          or download...
          http://www.bruji.com/bwana/ I thought that was cool.
          or if you prefer to read the manual in pdf try…
man -t sharing | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/Sharing\ Manual.pdf
          man -t chown | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/CHOWN\ Manual.pdf
          man -t chmod | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/CHMOD\ Manual.pdf
          man -t chgrp | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/CHGRP\ Manual.pdf
          My basic guideline was avoid using ACLs if at all possible, if you try to use them, things
          can get crazy complicated, take notes and plan, baby. If you read above, opening up
          permissions wide is wrong though. You would restrict permissions tightly to begin with and
          then place ACE (Access Control Entries) to specifically target the rights you want to enable.
          Here's one that's obviously a novice attempt to do this, but since the novice is the only one
          speaking…. here it is, Universe… >:P
          sudo chmod -R +ai "admin allow read,write,delete,file_inherit,directory_inherit,search,list" Department/
          That allowed my admin to do all the things a normal user could do so far… It fixed things for
          my admin, which made me happy. I really hate having to authenticate or sudo just to see
          the contents of a nested directory. I could explain it, and even give a few notes on why its
          probably overkill, but I will attempt to look less stupid till "poked".
          There's another command line utility I STILL haven't read, which may bear mentioning
          because…well I haven't read it. umask (see wikipedia or unix.com)…I worked past my
          problems without going into it so far, but obviously it's there, and it serves a purpose.
          I also found this article helpful…and educational. :O
          http://www.bresink.de/osx/300321023/Docs-en/pgs/ACL.html
          (          Its enlightening to hear the air whistling between a developer/coder's ears, still it's
                    apparent he has a clear idea what's going on.
                    Ever wonder why when you use get info to check or assign permissions it kind of
                    flakes out and doesn't take? Read this article!          )
          Second, if you can't obtain the "specific" permissions you need with POSIX, chmod also
          can set the 2nd category of permissions, which windows users may be familiar with
          Access Control Lists (ACLs) and here you get some really fine granularity...messy stuff.
          All in all, if I felt I could guide you through these murky waters, I would, but I think I'll let
          the professionals weigh in on that one and cut my wall-of-text to ribbons.
          To heuristically check I would connect from a client as one or two of my users and see what
          folders I could mount as a share, armored with an understanding of what ls -le@O * showed
          me in Terminal.
3.)           File sharing setup (Turned ON, Home sharing Enabled)
          Here is an example of using command line sharing utility where each share is properly
          labeled (that took a bit for me to figure out) still this share only enables the AFP share as
          you can see from my flags.
sudo sharing -a /Volumes/Hard\ Drive/Department/Database -A Database-afp -F Database-ftp -S Database-smb -n Database -s 100 -g 000 -i 10
          Then you do a sudo sharing -l and get back what you just did…
                                        List of Share Points
          name:                    Database
          path:                    /Volumes/Hard Drive/Department/Database
                    afp:          {
                    name:          Database-afp
                    shared:          1
                    guest access:          0
                    inherit perms:          1
                    ftp:          {
                    name:          Database-ftp
                    shared:          0
                    guest access:          0
                    smb:          {
                    name:          Database-smb
                    shared:          0
                    guest access:          0
          If you mess up the sharing command, you may not be paying attention (I wasn't) but there
          are a lot of defaults that Apple will just assume you meant to do anyway and it won't read
          any of your flags, you have to get it right or the flags will be defaulted.
          (          Basically I could tell I was bombing it for one, I explicitly only wanted afp working, but
                    the default was afp and smb. So each time I ran sudo sharing -l after I shot my sharing
                    command…back would come smb shared: 1 and I knew that wasn't right. Also my
                    custom names were defaulting to the name of the directory not the name I had
                    specified.           )
          I like to know what protocol my share is over so when it doesn't work, I know which protocol's
          are connecting. It's not full-proof, but it's a bookmark. I wish the network browser would
          identify the protocol that its available listed shares are using, because small visual queues
          like that help when you're trying to see what works. Maybe that's something I should
          investigate via the command line?
          As a note about reading forums, I discovered using command line that "\" is kind of like a
          way of going to next line neatly with long commands…."\ " is a way to insert a space. As you
          can see above where I have a volume with a space in it.
          Removing shares was a little trickier though, sharing -r Share\ With-space didn't work….I
          had to enclose it in quotes and do "Share With-space" instead. So nooby beware!
          (          *nix users are now rolling their eyes at this tip.          )
          I wasn't sure how you enabled a share for home directories from the command line, maybe its
          in the manual, but I was up to my eyeballs in manuals already so I haven't gone back to
          revisit this question since my work around was to go to Server.app and verify that what I set
          up in the sharing in terminal was being reflected in the gui…sort of my own MVC
          (model-view-controller) check.
4.)           Directory Utility > Directory Editor or dscl
Make sure what you see in WGM and Server.app are reflected here….to that question let's
          take a journey where I did some exploring about that.
Ever really wonder "WHY CAN"T I REMOVE AN OLD HOME DIRECTORY SHARE?!!!"
          Ah, then you will  - LOVE -  this tip…
          (          Provided my testing or yours, later, doesn't prove that in my ignorance I've broken
                    Open Directory. Remember, WHITEGLOVES!!!! but here we get a little dirty. I think of
                    OD as Apple's Registry, but that's not what it is at all. However, you as the user do have
                    to "****" around in it from time to time.          )
          I scoured the forums and everyone was saying things like "You have to change your server
          role" etc. which seemed a little bit dumb to me (dumb because you're pushing views around
          not "controlling"), and well, yea, that share that I couldn't modify or delete was REALLY
          bugging me.
          Now hmm… Before you do ANYTHING, how do you try to not hurt yourself…in Windows you
          can make a Registry Backup….(yea bad analogy) In Server Admin.app you can go to your Open
          Directory Service > Archive and Choose a place to Archive your information. (Figure this out by
          yourself, this is getting long…sheesh! It's easy. Restoring is just as easy and painless.)
Before we can remove the entry we "SEE" in WGM we should make sure no
          one has it selected so as not to "corrupt" the OD db, so in WGM first before going to Directory
          Utility set the Home directory to "None". (We need to remember to set this to a correct share
          later….Mental Note!!!)
          Now Open Directory Utility
          Method 1
          System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options
          Click the Lock to make changes…
          Authenticate -> click "OK"          (do I REALLY have to step-by-step this?)
          Network Account Sever: • Local Server - click "Edit" button here.
          Open Directory Utility > Directory Editor
          (          Wow, did Apple hire someone from Microsoft? You'ld think with all their research in to
                    Human Interface Design that's WAY too many clicks to get to something you need.          )
          or
          Method 2 (It's good to know about this directory, neat-o speed-o app's hidden here.)
          Use "Go to Folder" Under Finder > Go > Go to Folder...
⇧⌘G /System/Library/CoreServices/
          Click "OK"
          and Double click Directory Utility.app
          or
          Method 3
          Terminal
          open /System/Library/CoreServices/Directory\ Utility.app/
          Now From the Directory Editor Pane you will see a Pop-up menu Labeled "Viewing"
          You should glance through this and get to know it. You should use it to see what
          information is really being stored about your Users, Groups, Mounts…
          We are interested in Mounts, which is where we want to go…and there is the pesky
          mount that you will see reflected in WGM.
          Authenticate, and delete the bugger.
          Quit WGM and restart it. Voila, bad share is GONE!!!!!
          a.)          First select all my users
          b.)           Then I clicked on the "+" and added the correct share
                    (          Remember, I only showed you the first one we created, this is another and
                              for THIS one you HAVE to go into Server.app and verify that it is set to be
                              available for Home Directories in this case for AFP.          )
                    For the home directory entry you do this...
                    afp://computer.domain.com/Accounts-afp
                    %short_name%
                    /Network/Servers/computer.domain.com/Volumes/Hard\ Drive/Department/Accounts/%short_name%
%short_name% is a wild card for the short name there are other wild cards check out Apple's
                    Documentation on them. I lost the link sorry \<shrug\>
          Interesting dscl commands…(check it out in command line form and compare side by side with
          what you see in the GUI Directory Utility)
          dscl . list /users
          dscl . list /groups
          If you want to output information about each user, though, use readall:
          dscl . readall /users
          dscl . readall /groups
          And if you need to programatically parse said information, use -plist to make your life easier:
          dscl -plist . readall /users
          dscl -plist . readall /groups
          This made a little more direct sense to me, language wise…but fyi "." is kind of a wild card I think so the first
          commands I think look in ALL directories local, Search, LDAP whatever you have. The command here
          corresponds to the Entry from the Pop-up menu "…in node > Blah…" see GUI of Directory Utility to confirm.
          dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -list /Users
          dscl /Local/Default -list /Users
5.)          Workgroup Manager
          Remember this is a utility that is not long for this world. Apple's Mountain Lion is rumored to fully
          replace it, why? Yea, Apple's making a go at MDM (Mobile Device Management) and somehow
          desktop computers are being pulled/dragged along for the ride. I have plenty of issues with
          Profile Manager, but I'll likely revisit it in a couple of months and see where we stand.
          Anyway, treat this baby like the bottom rung, because, well it is built like you start your
          foundation here, but it's just a viewer with controlling "tweaks". Use the other areas to get a solid
          grasp of what is actually going on. Server.app is where you should create accounts you can
          feel are safe. When you create accounts in WGM, you are responsible for making sure they
          have the appropriate EVERYTHING.
This list is by no means complete, but these are the areas this noob is or was prepared to talk about.
Good night for now. Enjoy climbing my wall of text, and yea sorry about that. :O Run for you lives!!!!

How to get Network logins shown as a list with photos!

A long time ago, some one posted a tip here on how to set this up for Panther Server (that is to be able to view the list of network login accounts as a scrolling list with different pictures [photos] for each user).
I myself was able to follow the instructions and get it working in Panther.
Later someone else said it no longer worked using Tiger Server.
A while I go I did set this up (again) using Tiger Server and therefore I can confirm it does still work. (Although I am only now getting round to letting anyone else know.)
If anyone is interested I can help you through the process.
In theory the same pictures can be used in other places as well, for example in Apple AddressBook (works for me as well). Its a shame Apple broke MailPictures in Tiger though. See http://www.nikwest.de/Software/
Despite what the above website implies, it DOES NOT work properly in Mail in Tiger (although the Panther version does work in Panther Client).
PS. I did get an equivalent to work in Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5 in Tiger.

Unfortunately it doesn't work. @List requires members names so I can't provide a member set as an argument :(^^^Are you sure? Take a look at the below example from the Tech Ref. That sure looks like @LANCESTORS and @LIST is accepting more than just member names.
FIX(@LANCESTORS(@LIST(@ATTRIBUTE(Caffeinated_True),@ATTRIBUTE(Ounces_12),"200-40")))Also note this:
If the @LANCESTORS function is used alone (not within a FIX statement), you must use the @LIST function and specify member names. So you DO have to use @LIST if @LANCESTORS is to be used to do an aggregation. Or so it appears.

How to install 10.2 DB on Unbreakable Linux , should i use GCC 3.2 or 3.4 ?

Hi !
I'm trying to install Oracle 10.2 on Unbreakable Linux (installed in Virtual PC).
My problem is on package gcc-3.2.
On distribution of Unbreakable Linux download from Oracle web - there is no gcc-3.2, so i download and try to install gcc-3.2 from RedHat, that requires cpp 3.2-7.
I have installed cpp 3.4.6 that i can't uninstall because xorg-x11 requeires it. I don't want to loose X11 in my Linux :(
When i was try to use gcc-3.4.6-3.1 installation failed witch error :

Oracle 10g release 2 and Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5

Hello, I tried to install Oracle (Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86-64) into the last oracle linux distribution. I have problems with the installation process:

I see in this forum some solutions but none works for me (I´m installing Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5 x64) to solve this problem I put libXp lib but the problem is the same.
The library is installed:
[root@SRVAXILAB072 oracle]# ll /usr/lib64/libXp.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Aug 16 18:10 /usr/lib64/libXp.so.6 -> libXp.so.6.2.0
[root@SRVAXILAB072 oracle]#
But I think the installation process are searching in /usr/lib but I didn´t have the library in 32b I tried to copy to /usr/lib and another crazy ideas but didn’t work.
I read alot of post and guides for installation process but I didn´t see nothing to install Oracle in Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5
Some ideas??
If not..... I will try with Oracle Unbreakable linux 4 :(
Thanks
Best Regards

Well, I've not been in touch with installs on linux myself for a long time, but it seems you need a few 32-bit libs. Try installing libXp-1.0.0-8.i386.rpm.

Network logins not working with 10.7 and 10.8 clients

Hi
I have Snow Leopard Server (10.6.8) running on a Mac Mini for the past 3 years. The client Macs were all running Snow Leopard and could happily do network logins. I recently upgraded my client Macs to 10.7 and 10.8.Now they cannot login via Network logins. Only via the Other selection. Network logins produces the Error occured dialog box. Once users do a local login, they have access to all server services (file sharing, calendar, messaging, contacts, etc.)
The server is setup as a OD Master with Kerberos. The changeip check is all good. The DNS is working. I have made no changes to the server. Only the clients were upgraded from Snow Leopard.
I have read a lot about similar problems but still haven't solved this problem.
I hope someone can help.
Kind regards
Michael

Hi all
I solved this annoying issue
It was an Open Directory issue. If you have upgraded clients to 10.7 or 10.8 from 10.6, the OD Master passwords are incompatible with 10.7 or 10.8.
The fix is simple.
1. Stop AFP file shares
2. Export Users, Groups and Computers from Workgroup Manager then quit the the Workgroup Manager
3. Demote the OD Master to Standalone
4. Promote the Standalone OD to a Master OD,
5. Reimport the Users, Groups and Computers back into Workgroup Manager
6. Reset all passwords and home folders
7. Rebind all clients computers
That's it.
I hope this helps someone.
Cheers
Michael
