Use networked Users.ini in deployed simple user interface

I'm using the Simple LabVIEW UI that comes with TestStand 2014. I have customised it to my requirements, but have a small issue. I want to deploy the interface to numerous production PC's but cannot workout how to get the interface to use a networked Users.ini, at Login on those PC's. Does anyone know how to make the user interface use a networked Users.ini? I know that in TestStand 2014 you can use the menus Configure>Station Options>User Manager to tell it where to find a networked Users.ini. I don't know how to make the Simple LabVIEW UI do the same thing. Hopefully I've missed something obvious and will soon be felling rather stupid.
Thanks
Colin

Colin,
This setting is stored in TestExec.ini. You can deploy this by following this link: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/E5E4FEADEFE6023D862571590000C5CC
Here's another link:http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052N-01/tsdeploysystem/infotopics/includingcfgfiles/
TestExec.ini is just 1 of many cfg files for TestStand. They all need to be in the same folder. Generally the ProgramData\National Instruments\<TestStand>\Cfg folder. The exception is Users.ini. It is the only cfg file that can be in a different location (as you have discovered)
So I recommend pointing to the users.ini on your development machine and then adding TestExec.ini to your workspace. Then you need ot put it in the Cfg directory on the deployment machine. Be careful though because there are a lot of other settings stored in that file.
Hope this helps,

Is it possible access to dashboards by using network users insted of obiee

Hi,
can anybody have idea about this
is it possible access to dashboard by using network users.insted of obiee users.i.ewhen you are login into presentation services it will ask user name and password. in this case it will not like that when we are log in to the sysytem by using user name and password.by using that user name and password it can directly access to the dashboard is it possible or not?means that by using network username and password can i able to login to the dashboard by cliking the presentation url.with out asking username and password again.
please help me
thanking you

Yes, you can and if your presentation services are hosted on a windows server, thats lot more easy. While the presentation server is being promoted, you can have users get authenticated using LDAP/AD and that way, you need not go through typing username/pwd once again.
Configure SSO
Set IIS authentication to “Windows authentication”:
Open IIS Manager => Select Default website => Right-click => Properties => Directory Security tab => Authentication and access contol => Edit … => deselect “Enable anonymous access” => Select “Integrated Windows authentication” => Ok => Ok => Select All => Ok
Open the instanceconfig.xml file (located in OracleBIData\web\config). Set <SSO enabled = “true”>. Save and close file.
Restart your server and start your OBIEE services.. You are good to go now.
Like others said, may be you are better off with closing your questions so others can use it.

How to get to learn using TestStand User Interfaces

I am starting to work with TestStand and I was looking into using the User Interface. I know that a couple of examples are provided and that there is a couple of sections of literature on the subject, but there does not appear to be a very helpful (get started from scratch) type of documentation that I can find. Does such a thing exist? If not, what is the best way to get started?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can currently do this in the Full-Featured UI without any modifications. It's kind of a hack though:
So assume that an execution is running. The user clicks the Break button and wants to rerun a step with different parameters. So now your execution is paused somewhere below the step. Right click the step and select: Set Next Step to Cursor. Now in the Variable window look for the variable that is being passed as a parameter to that step. Say for instance Locals.Foo is being passed to your VI. Change the value of it and click the Resume button. This also assumes that you are passing either Locals or FileGlobals to your VI. You may have to have Administrator privileges to do this.
If this isn't good enough then there are ways to accomplish what you want in a cleaner manner.
One way is to build your sequence file such that if a certain condition occurs then retry with new values or values from a file which can be changed by the user. This is what I would recommend because it will be the cleanest and the easiest.
Another way is to build into your UI like you are asking about. The problem with this is at a certain point the user will click Break or a Stop button that you have put on there. This will stop the execution at some point (who knows exactly what point unless you write code to specify a point). Then they would have a pop up or something that would allow them to select a step. Then for each step you'll have to have some code or a parser or something that will determine the parameters and valid values they can be and ask the user for those. This is all doable but would be quite a task. You will have a long ways to go in understanding the TestStand API in order to accomplish this. In fact there would be so many API calls with numerous ways to attack this problem.
Whichever way you choose to go you will always have the TestStand forums or NI support.

Error "kdc: Server not found in database" on attempted connections using Network User Credentials

I am rebuilding my system after a recent debacle with Time Machine, which resulted in a complete wiping of my Open Directory contents. At this point, users can log into various computers on the network, when the hosts have been reconnected to the newly formed Open Directory and the trust certificate has been authorized. However, when users attempt to connect to any file share, the Network User Account credentials fail to gain access.
I am running Mac OS X 10.9.4 on all systems. Two mac-mini's are running OS X Server 3.1.2. One of these servers (mavericks1.pediatricheartcenter.org) is the Open Directory. While testing the system, I am using the console on "Mavericks1," so the following discussion involves communication between the two server hosts only.
From Mavericks1, I open the console and attempt to connect to my file server, named fileserver.pediatricheartcenter.org. I clear the console just prior to sending a "registered user" request to "FileServer" to gain access. Careful examination of the console records shows the following:
1. The Network User is authorized with a message "ENC-TS pre-authentication succeeded".
2. Mavericks1 lists a console message that reads "kdc: Server not found in database: krbtgt/[email protected]:no such entry found in hdb"
3. Mavericks1 lists a console message that reads "kdc: Server not found in database: cifs/[email protected]: no such entry found in hdb"
4. The process registers what appears to be a final failure before trying again with "kdc: Failed building TGS-REP to 127.0.0.1:64390"
FileStorage.local does not exist in the DNS, nor does it exist on FileStorage.pediatricheartcenter.org. That (local) host name was removed when the domain host name for filestorage.pediatricheartcenter.org was created.
1. Why does the kerberos process reference a host name that does not exist?
2. What might be causing the failed authentication exchange?
3. What can be done to remedy the issue?

I spent some time on the phone with Apple Support on Friday. Thank you to Linc Davis for providing some insights into the issues.
As a result of the conversation with Apple Support we learned the following, which I will report here for those who might find this page again:
First, OpenDirectories are extremely fragile. Once you have turned on your OpenDirectory, do not do any of the following:
Do NOT change the host name.
Do NOT change the IP address.
If you are going to attempt either of these things, you should make a clone of your drive (not just a TimeMachine backup, a fully bootable clone, just in case).
Performing these activities (particularly the changing of the host name) will "break" your open directory, and the only way to rebuild the open directory is first to fully destroy the original. Several services are also destroyed when OpenDirectory is broken, the most notable is Profile Manager.
DESTROYING OPEN DIRECTORY
To fully destroy OpenDirectory, it is more complex than simply turning off the OpenDirectory and turning it back on again. Perform the following steps:
Install WorkGroup Manager (it is depricated, but Apple still has a version available for use with OS X Mavericks to handle functions that the Server App does not perform like exporting users and groups).
Sign into WorkGroup Manager as the directory administrator (user name defaults to "diradmin" the password is defined on OpenDirectory creation).
Export the Users, Groups, Computers and Computer Groups to the Desktop or another safe location.
Close WorkGroup Manager
Turn off the OpenDirectory in Server App.
Delete the Server App from the Applications folder and put it in the Trash. (This will disable any active services that are marking various files as being currently in use. Don't worry, we will restore it from the Trash when we are done).
In the terminal, run the following command: sudo slapconfig -destroyldapserver
Make a backup of all website files (just in case)
Navigate to the folder /Library/Server and delete the ProfileManager folder. (If you willing to do so, delete the whole Server folder).
After deleting various folders in the /Library/Server directory, restore the Server.app from the Trash.
Run the Server App.
Set the computer's network connection and host name.
Create a new OpenDirectory.
Use WorkGroup Manager to import any exported files from Step 3.
If you deleted the entire Server directory, use the website backup to retrieve the files that comprise your web site(s) and use the Server App to link the file directories to the Web site's domain name(s).
Personal Note: These instructions got me farther than any other tips I had received previously. After following these instructions, I was able to rebuild my Open Directory. During the process of copying files from the old user home folders into the new user home folders, the computer froze and when it rebooted, all the users and groups I had created during the day had disappeared. Rather than trouble-shooting it again, I decided to do a fresh installation.
A NOTE ON HOME FOLDERS
PER APPLE SUPPORT: Do NOT use the default /Users directory for Network users. Apple Support wanted me to rebuild the home directory, but they noted I was not able to do this, because I had used /Users. This folder ("/Users") is a critical component of the OS X system, and will cause additional problems if the folder is destroyed and rebuilt. The directory id and permissions must remain unchanged from the original installation.
For this reason, Server administrators (like yourself) should use File Sharing in the Server App to create a new anchor point for home directories. Create a shared folder. Ensure that it is shared over the protocols that you will be using (AFP, SMB, WebDav), and then after selecting these values, check the box that allows the folder to be used as a home directory at the bottom of this list. This box will be greyed out if the system is not already bound to an OpenDirectory. If you have activated OpenDirectory on the same machine, the machine will operate as if bound to itself, and this field will be active. If the FileShare server is NOT an OpenDirectory master or replica, then bind the machine to an OpenDirectory via the "System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options".
If the local area network has FileShares that are enabled for home directory use, the folders will appear in the User Profile editor under the Home Folder list (See image)
In the screenshot above, I have selected a shared directory named "HomeFolders". By using specially defined home folder directory, the server administrator has the option of deleting and modifying the home folder if necessary. Creating a home folder directory in a location other than "/Users" is the recommended best practice by Apple Support.
If you are inserting files into the home folders, you will need to change the owner and the group to the new owners names. I copied files from the old user directories into the new user directories so that the users would have access to their old files. When my OpenDirectory crashed, and all the users were recreated, they were recreated with different system level user id's. The system therefore maintains a memory that the file was owned by the original owner, even though the system administrator has put it in the new user profile's folder. To fix this, do the following:
1. Prior to making the copy, run "ls -al" from the terminal on the new home directory root. You are looking for the default folder owner and default folder group. On my system it was the user name and a group named "staff".
2. When making the copy, do not replace the user folder. Copy the files into the file folder, not over it.
3. After you have moved files into the user's folders, you can use "sudo chown -R [owner]:[group] [homeFolderPath]/*" and "sudo chmod -R 700 [homeFolderPath]/*" (replace the [owner] and [group] portions of these commands with the owners and groups identified by the command in step 1, and replace [homeFolderPath] with a path to the user directory created for the specific user.
For example:
For the user johnnybgood, we might see the following:
1. We run "ls -al" on the newly created home folder and find that the folder /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood is owned by johnnybgood and the group "staff".
2. We copy or move files from the old locations using commands similar to the following:
       sudo mv /OldFolderLocation/johnnybgood/Documents/* /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Documents
       sudo mv /OldFolderLocation/johnnybgood/Desktop/* /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Desktop
       sudo mv /OldFolderLocation/johnnybgood/Music/* /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Music
       ....etc....
       (notice how we are not just moving the old johnnybgood folder to the new location.)
3. Next, we change the ownership and file permissions:
       sudo chown -R johnnybgood:staff /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Documents
       sudo chown -R johnnybgood:staff /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Desktop
       sudo chown -R johnnybgood:staff /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Music
       ...etc...
       sudo chmod -R 700 /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Documents
       sudo chmod -R 700 /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Desktop
       sudo chmod -R 700 /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Music
       ...etc...
4. Let the user log in and use the system normally.

How to execute a sequence without using an User Interface

Hi,
I have programatically generated a TestStand Sequence File. I used C# and the TestStand API. I opened the .seq file in the default TestStand User Interface and the Sequence File runs perfectly.
However, when I created a NewExecution using the Engine object created in the porgram, it seems that the sequence never starts execution. Please look at the following code snippet:
// TSStep and TSSequence was created before
TSSequence.InsertStep(TSStep, 0, StepGroups.StepGroup_Main); SequenceFile TSSequenceFile = TSEngine.NewSequenceFile();
TSSequenceFile.InsertSequenceEx(0, TSSequence);
TSSequenceFile.Save("SeqGen.seq"); Execution TSExecution = TSEngine.NewExecution(TSSequenceFile, "Seq_0", null, false, ExecutionTypeMask.ExecTypeMask_Normal, System.Type.Missing, System.Type.Missing, System.Type.Missing);while (TSSequenceFile.IsExecuting == true) ; // this flag never changes to false
TSEngine.ReleaseSequenceFileEx(TSSequenceFile, 0);
I know the sequence is not being executed because a COM Server (written as a Local Server in a .EXE) should start when the step within the sequence be executed.
Any ideas why the sequence is not executing properly ?

How to create a form which uses graphical user interfaces(GUI) features.

i'm working as a administrator in a private college..i have some problem..
how to create a student registration form that uses most of the graphical user interfaces(GUI) features. The form should consist of the following features:- Label, Button, Check box, Radio Button, List, Panel and Layout. The GUI features must be functional.
how to write that programme in JAVA ?
please help me to get the code..

So are you saying that this person is legitamately asking for someone to write up this student registration form, for use in some sort of production student registration application? Ok, if so, I apologize for jumping to the wrong conclusion. But, to me it sounds like a student hit the "Using Swing" chapter in the text and was given the following assignment:
For this assignment you are working as an administrator in a private college and you need to solve the following problem:
You need to create a student registration form that uses most of the graphical user interfaces(GUI) features. The form should consist of the following features:- Label, Button, Check box, Radio Button, List, Panel and Layout. The GUI features must be functional.
You have two weeks.
Now, I suppose that I could be wrong, if so, I apologize and go with the previous poster that said ask a comp sci student to do this for you.

Using Testexec user interface with test stand

Hi,
I want to use the testexec UIR (from cvi) with my Test Stand sequence. My goal is when this operator interface is opened directly, the specified sequence opens automatically.
Any suggestion!
Best Regards,

You can approach this 2 ways:
1- Hard code the name and path of the sequence file into the CVI code and rebuild testexec.exe.
2- Associate .seq files with testexec.exe such that when someone clicks on an .seq file it opens in the UI. Then place a shortcut to your sequence file on the desktop and have users start it by clicking on that.
I recommend 2.
As a side note: By default a UI will open the last sequence file that was opened.

Lost Mail on Network User Accounts

This problem has happened several times and I am pretty sure it relates to using Network User accounts. We're running Tiger server and all user accounts are stored on the server. We are using POP mail that is hosted externally.
A user logs in to his account. There are unread messages and the user starts to read them and reply to email. An hour or two goes by and when the user tries to read an unread email, the email disappears in the list when clicked, along with all the emails that had been received or sent since the last time he had logged into his user account.
There is no trace of the lost mail in the library on the server. If this isn't weird enough, the incoming mail on the ISP host account when accessed by webmail, is either gone or when you try to read it disappears when clicked along with all mail back to the same time that is missing on the user account stored on the server.
This has happened on different users and from different workstations. The only constant appears to be that these accounts are stored in network user accounts.
We are planning to bring mail in-house and switch to IMAP. But would like to know if anyone else has ever seen this.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bob

Having the same problem here. I think its to do with the network home having a different database file from the local home and when the background sync happens the local home database is being replaced by the network home.
There is nowhere to set that during a background sync the local home should always be considered the newest and be pushed to the network. Sounds like it should be logical, but it doesn't seem to work like that.
I have users complaining that there machines are ok when they start, they have mail arrive during the day and then disappear and their mail box reverts back to the state it was when they logged in.
There is also the problem that when they move they don't always get the latest version of their mail box.

Can I have a network user with the same name as a local user?!

I have just set up Mac OS X 10.8 SErver with Open Directory. I have about 20 machines that I will be setting up, some which have mainly been used localy and just used to tap into Shared Files, [historically], but am wanting to use network users for better backup and support.
However some of the legacy accounts were not used on off the server... What I have is the following :-
a) [Person A] - They are a network user with Password [Password A]
b) The computer is [Person A], they have a Password [Password Old] (so it is different)
I have Network Account Users turned on, with a green dot! (have domain all set up)
However How do I connect using either a or b. depending on what i feel like that day!
? Help any ideas.
Ultimately I will have set up all my client machines with a client admin user and standard password... but I am not there yet!

Moving from local (legacy) users to network users takes a one-time hassle of moving the contents of their local home folder contents up to the server. Using a finder copy never worked for me. What I finally found worked reliably was using rsync to copy the entire users local folder up to the server. Once on the server, move the files into place (if you didn't rsync them there directly. Finally, Chown all the files (on the server) to associate them with the correct userID on the server. If everything looks right on the server, you can test by trying to login as this user from another local Mac (but now as a network account), and hopefully their home folder looks like they expected.
Note you will need admin access in the local machine and the server to rsync their home folder. You don't want to be logged into their account while trying to copy their files up to the server.
If rsync is not your bag, a portable hard disk and/or disk image of their home folder is another way to move their stuff.
Once you've verified that their network account got to the server ok, then REMOVE the local account.

How to get the value of the global variable of test stand in labview User interface?

Hi.
Can anyone Please share examples and tell me to how access the test stand global variable using labview user interface.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm not surprised that what you are doing doesn't work. The Start Execution UI Message is triggered when the user clicks a button to start an execution. Realize that most executions go through a process model. So you could be looking at the sequence context of the process model and not your client sequence file.
I recommend reading that link I posted above. UI Messages are your best bet but you cannot just piggy back on an existing UI Message like this. They may not be getting sent at the time you need them to be. The only way to ensure you get what you want is to trigger one yourself at the right time.

Slow User Interface Performance on a Mac Pro

I've recently purchased a late 2013 6-core Mac Pro with 16gb of memory and the 256gb SSD. While the general performance of Final Cut Pro X is outstanding (applying filters, transitions, analyzing for dominant motion, optical flow retiming, rendering, etc.), the user interface seems to still start to slow down the further along I am in my project. It is most noticeable when I click a clip in my timeline to modify a video property in the inspector, then hit play (spacebar) again to resume editing. At the start of a project, I can fly through my clips and edit without any hesitation, but as I near the 90 second-ish mark (with an edit/clip every 5-10 seconds), the responsiveness of the user interface starts to waiver just like my previous early 2011 Macbook Pro (something I thought was related to the graphics and/or system performance of computers from that era).
I've tried creating proxy and optimized media projects and even edited my h.264 footage in native, compressed format - regardless of what I try, the performance of the user interface is nearly identical until I start to hit a few minutes with some colour corrections on 25% of the clips. I've also experimented with the playback quality during editing (i.e., best performance vs. quality) which resulted in minimal performance improvements.
Clearly, this Mac Pro has been designed to tear through video footage and process mass amounts of data, but I wonder if there is something else looming in the code of Final Cut Pro X that, regardless of the computer in use, the user interface just gets sluggish at a certain point when a critical mass of edits/clips are in a project.
Any comments or feedback would be greatly welcomed, as I may decide to return this beast and settle on an iMac if this symptom exists regardless of what Mac I use.
Sincerely,
Ryan Smith

1. All of my media was located on the SSD installed inside the Mac Pro and is the startup disk of the computer
This will slow you down. Get a secondary drive for the media and Libraries.
2. The SSD had between 50g and 150g (depending on the project) available
That drive is becoming too full, and slowing down.
3. The project consisted of a single event from one import, about 100 files totalling 40g
A good USB 3 or Thunderbolt external RAID will fly through that without issue. The system drive will get bogged down.
4. I haven't paid close enough attention to Activity Monitor; I will start doing that, but FCPX is the only application I ever have open when editing and consumes about 12gb - 16gb.
16GB RAM should be plenty for FCPX. I've never seen it eat up that much RAM, even on very large projects. But more RAM won't hurt if the system is using that much RAM. How are you getting those RAM usage numbers?
The issue seems to be your drive. First, don't use the system drive, that will bog things down, no matter what type of drive it is. Second, get your media and Libraries on a fast secondary (external) drive.
Finally, are you running with the dual D500 or D700 GPUs? There is a significant performance difference between the two in FCPX and Motion 5. But I highly doubt that's your issue. I think you simply are eating up too much of your drive, and running off the system drive, both are huge no-no's.

Configuration of SAP MDG User Interface in Customer Namespace - 7.0

Hello All.
I have been constantly reading about the mentioned content,
SAP MDG user interfaces from one single place. A dedicated WebDynpro application is provided to manage all user interface configurations.
You can also copy a standard SAP user interface configuration to the customer namespace and configure it to your requirements.
Can anyone give more details about the SAP MDG User Interface or share any links which denotes the same in detail.
Any Help Appreciated !!.
Regards,
Shankar

The document mentioned in the link does not state anything related to use user interface in customer namespace as suggested by sap in Innovations page. this is more about FPM applications.
Can you please suggest how do we use MDG User Interface in the customer environment directly as suggested by SAP.

How can I allow network users to use File Sharing on 10.8 Server?

I am in the process of setting up a new OS X 10.8 Server. I have exported/imported the network users from my previous OS X 10.6.8 Server using Workspace Manager. I have re-entered the passwords of the users. I have existing clients running (stil logged in).
I have set up the File Sharing service in Server.app. I have several mount points. I have made the Users mount point available for home directories over AFP.
Now, the system administrator can connect to the server and get access to the file shares. So the basic file sharing system works.
Also: the users on a client can get there password verified (e.g. when unlocking screen protection) by the server. It is just AFP they can't get access to, while the system administrator account (OD /Local on the server) can be used. So, the password in the server is OK too. It seems to be a matter of privileges.
But no network user (OD user in directory /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 on the server) can get access. Where can I give network users privileges for File Sharing on the server?
I did try to add either the "Open Directory Users" group or a specific user that was imported into com.apple.access_afp. If I do that, there is partial success. I can connect to the server from the client with a user account other than system administrator from the server (but connecting is slow). But Mobile Home Sync does not work:

Hi Gerben,
Try creating a brand new user, that's not imported and see if that works. Every user/group has a little gear in the Server.app/Users or Groups which allows specific access to specific services, perhaps filesharing is off in that section?
Is your DNS setup properly? Can you verify that clients can see the FQDN of your server?
After setting up the Users folder for mobilehomes, did you check whether the group and the separate users have access to filesharing? I am able to select the correct homefolder /Users and restrict the homefolder size.
Goodluck!

Setting up network users using OS X Server: Is there a usable guide somewhere that fully explains how?

I have tried reading through what I can find in Apple’s documentation for OS X Server (as downloaded from the App Store, running on a new OS X 10.9 machine - not an upgrade). And I’ve tried digging through articles on the web and discussions in the forums here.
I still cannot get a working setup for network users hosted on my OS X Server machine.
So, I’m hoping there’s a decent guide somewhere that folks can point me to that covers the entire process, including:
every step involved in setting OS X Server’s various configuration parts (DNS, File Sharing, OD, Users,…),
how to set up the accounts and their file folders on the server,
and every step involved in getting the client machines to use the network accounts to provide user logins.
I’m totally okay with resorting to the command-line if needed.
Ideally, I want:
all of my users’ files (everything in their “home” directories) to be stored on the server.
the users’ to be able to use different machines on our LAN to login.
their names & pictures to show up in the login screen like local users.
From what I’ve seen so far, I’m not optimistic on that last point being doable . However, even if I have to manually add each user in the network login settings on the client machines in order to have their name & picture show up in the login screen, that’s suboptimal, but better than nothing (I have <10 user accounts to worry about, so brute-force is a tolerable option).
Thanks for any direction/tips on this!

I've found apple's guides to be pretty elementary.
OSX Server Essentials, which you can get at amazon is a better basic guide and probably will get you started.
To do anything more advanced, you'll find that apple really has not provided any documentation, but i've found the old series
Enterprise Mac Administrator's Guide
Enterprise Mac Managed Preferences
and
Enterprise Mac Security
to be really useful. I really wish these guys would keep writing books! I'm not sure buying old copies of these texts will offer any encouragement to them, but boy do I hope it does because they have answered a TON of quesions.
For online references, I like:
http://krypted.com/guides/mavericks-server/
This website is at least as good (I'd say twice as good) as the documentation apple provides, and much easier to follow.
http://yesdevnull.net/2013/10/os-x-mavericks-server-open-directory-master/
This website has been incredibly useful for solving all kinds of problems. I can't remember who authors it, but I ought to carry a picture of them around so that I could hug them if I ever saw them on the street. creepy, yes, but so so deserves it.
https://github.com/rtrouton/rtrouton_scripts/tree/master/rtrouton_scripts
For user setup and scripting
Anyway, hope that helps.
I'd start with the krypted guide. Read it twice, then have at it.

Where is the MailAccounts.plist stored for a network user account using Apple Mail on Snow Lion?

Where is the MailAccounts.plist file stored for a network user using Apple Mail on Snow Leopard? It appears one of my users has managed to do something to their mail account as Apple Mail will no longer close once opened and the Sent Folder has a perpetual spinning pinwheel.

They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
Not a great solution.
Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

Use networked Users.ini in deployed simple user interface
