User Account Information Location

Hi all,
I'm not sure this entirely goes here but I couldnt see a section that was any more suitable.
Basically, I was wondering where the information on the Oracle users are stored? As I can log into the OEM and view information under SECURITY - USERS...things like the account status, profile and the created date.
So does this information exist in a table on the database? Or is it some kind of file I would need to access through unix or something?

yes, the core is user$. But also see dba_users
the information in any of the dba_ (user_ or all_) views is often collected from several base tables. You can look at the scripts in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin to see how dba_users is created. And you can look in the Oracle Database Reference manual at http://tahiti.oracle.com for a fairly complete list of all dba_ views

  • Error occured while saving the user account information

    I'm trying to install LiveCycle ES 2 with PDF Generator on a Windows 2008 server wtih SQL Server 2005.  When I run the configuration manager I get an error in the step where you add the administrator user credentials for generator.  The error I'm receiving is ALC-PDG-080-032-Error occured while saving the user account information.  Has anyone seen this issue before?  Any ideas on what the problem may be?

    Going back some time, another user (do not recall Matrox on the system) had a similar issue. The workaround in that case was to use Save_As and just increment the file name. Now, I do not recall any real "fix," and for another user, the Save_As resulted in the same behavior, so it was not a universal workaround.
    Good luck, and please report your findings,

  • User Account and Location

    How do I determine the user account and location so that I can track user changes?

    Are you asking how to audit changes to the database?
    Are users logging in to Oracle with distinct Oracle accounts? Or are they connecting with a shared Oracle account?
    What do you mean by "user location"? IP address? Host name?

  • Set up new iMac user accounts & storage locations

    I just made the switch from Windows PC to a new iMac  since it is still in the box I thought I would take some time to think about how I want to set it up before opening it and starting to dump all my files onto the new machine. I'd like to have an efficient setup and get it right from the start!
    My current (PC) set up is this:
    I have one 500Gb internal drive. Using Windows 7 I have four user accounts: me, my wife, and one each for the kids with parental controls. I would like to duplicate this setup, and I understand OS X Lion can do this.
    Now the messy part: under my account I have a bunch of docs (word, excel files, PDF's, etc, let's call this stuff "data"), a couple thousand songs, a bunch of pics and some movies. Email etc too. When I log into my account I have a my documents folder with my data files. I have an iTunes folder and in it a bunch of music. Some is from ripped cd's, some from iTunes store, some from amazon mp3 store. When I open iTunes I have a library with all of the music avail on my machine. Oh, I also have an iPad 2 and when I plug it in, it syncs with my library and apps and movies etc. I open Thunderbird and I get my email. So far so good.
    When my wife logs in she has her "my documents" folder with her data. She opens thunderbird and gets her email, not mine. More mess though: she doesn't like half the music I like, and she doesn't want to see it. When she opens iTunes she gets a library with fewer songs available, and I'm moderately sure that her songs are *copies* of what's in my music folder. Well some are anyway, some point to the music in my folder (I was not very consistent in how I added music to her library). She has an iPad 1 that syncs to her library, with only a fraction of the apps that I have. She has her own pictures too (different from mine - basically she would copy pics from the camera to her "space" but I wouldn't know it, and wouldn't see them).
    The kids accounts are relatively "clean" - just accounts with parental controls for web browsing (online kids games) etc. EXCEPT my daughter has an iPod shuffle (2Gb) and a small library of songs. I *think* this library points to my files but hey might be copies.
    I *dont* want to end up with a ton of duplicate files on my new machine like I *know* I have on my windows machine. It just eats up too much space.
    What I want to do is have one place for all of the pictures to go, and all of the music files to go, and every time there are new pics or music, it all goes there. But I want my wife to have a "smaller" music library than me (she just plain doesn't want the "clutter" of seeing my music and having to sort through it to check it/uncheck it to put it on her iPad - she's a clutter-free freak even with digital files). For photos I want to use one iPhoto library so that if she goes in there and tags some phots with some keyword or event or adds new pics, then I see those things when I open my iPhoto (I honestly don't even know how to use iPhoto to manage my pics, my iMac is till in the box). I want her to have her data under her login and my data under mine, etc. In short, there things I want shared between the two of us, and things I don't, without duplicate files eating up the space on my 500Gb internal hard drive.
    Additionally I am considering a 500Gb external drive, and rather than using it for straight up storage, using it as a time machine backup of the whole system. I am looking at a FireWire800 drive for better performance.
    I'd like to get this right the first time, but don't know enough about how os x works/sets up user accounts, and/or the best, most efficient way to set up the new iMac from the get go. I don't know if I should set up all four accounts first, then add my data/music/pics manually, or use the "migration assistant" (I have read a bit about using it but honestly don't know how it works, or if it will do what I want).
    Perhaps I could just print out this email and pay for apple one-to-one service, but I thought I'd check here first! Sorry for such a long post - but I am hoping I'm not the only one who has wanted to make the switch and start off on the right path! And it's a lot easier to learn from other peoples experience than to figure it all out on my own!
    PS: don't know if it matters much, but I also hav an iPhone that I sync with my iTunes, and I'm concerned about losing the configuration/apps/music/movies on both my iPad and my iPhone when I make the switch. Thoughts? Should I be concerned? How do I do it correctly?

    You have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support. Give them a call and they can help you set it up, however to be honest you are way over thinking this, those old PC habits die hard! My recommendation is, take it out of the box, read the manual carefully and turn the thing on following the on-screen instructions and start enjoying your new iMac.
    BTW as new switcher I would also recommend book marking the following URLs

  • 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!

  • ARE THESE USER-ACCOUNTS BY DEFAULT: ADAMS...

    Hi everybody,
    I was doing a round of all the views in the SYS adminstrator account.
    I came across the following user-accounts in the view ALL_VIEWS:
    ADAMS, JONES, CLARK and BLAKE
    Maybe the guy who was using Oracle before me had created these user accounts. But if these accounts are created by default while installing Oracle 8i, then I would like to know their passwords.
    I am not able to locate the user-account information regarding these users in any of the files in my Oracle home directory. I tried logging into user ADAMS with password ADAMS itself but the attempt failed.
    The Intermedia Text Manager displays a nearly empty listing of these user-accounts. The most surprising thing is that these user-accounts do not have the TABLE and VIEW nodes, only Index and Stored Procedure nodes.
    If it helps, I have Oracle 8.1.6 on Windows 2000. I had installed iFS 1.1.7 on my machine (it still exists on my Windows 2000 machine) and I came across some files in the iFS directory, containing a list of user names. A few of these user names are jadams, dblake, rjones and eclark (my heart nearly skipped a beat when I read these user names).
    Thanks in advance.
    snodx

    From the "Ask Tom" column of Oracle Magazine (asktom.oracle.com):
    "adams, blake, clark, jones should be dropped. They are demo accounts. if you
    installed demos, they got installed."
    Hope this helps.

  • "Unable to log in to the user account"

    I'm having a problem I'm hoping one of you may have come up against and
    solved. We have two Mac OSX.4 servers - one a login server, the other
    contains the student Homes folders. Now when a student who has an account
    from last year logs in, a message says "You are unable to log in to the user
    account "username" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an
    error occurred. The home folder for the user account is located on an AFP or
    SMB server. Contact your system administrator for help."
    It seems there is a problem with the hand off from the login server to the
    data server. I can connect to the data server through Connect to Server
    while logged on as admin, so the server is accessible on line. I double-checked the Sharing info of the shared points and they are set correctly. Also, when I run Server Monitor, the stats summary for both servers says "waiting for response."
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Mike
    Server Monitor is an application that monitors XServe hardware providing feedback for the administrator. It has nothing to do with the Server Operating System. If your trying to use it on anything other than an XServe all you'll see is "Waiting for Response" all day long.
    If your hardware is an XServe then you need to use either localhost or the server's loopback address (127.0.0.1) in the name field followed by the default admin's account's password.
    +"The home folder for the user account is located on an AFP or+
    +SMB server. Contact your system administrator for help"+
    This error is usually down to (but not always) a DNS/DHCP issue or some other obscure network related issue affecting DNS. What does the logs say server and client side when the log-in fails?
    Its possible the affected user no longer exists as a principal? Does the same thing happen to this user regardless of which client computer is used? You could search the schema using dscl from a client to see if the affected user is listed in the LDAP database? Alternatively you could issue:
    sudo kadmin.local -q list_principals
    On the server itself. If the affected user is not listed but exists in WGM then review the password type. It's possible its been set to Crypt? You could delete the user and re-create the account again and re-locating the home folder and trying again. It's also possible the student's home folder has developed a problem? Does the 'jiggle' and error occur immediately or after a slight delay? Do you have a strict Password Policy in place? Sometimes problems can develop with the Password Policy (it does get logged) that affects single accounts only.
    You could try and create a completely new account and home for the affected user. Transfer the data from the old home propagate default permissions and go for a log-in again. Does it work now?
    I'm assuming the two servers in question are in a Master/Replica relationship?

  • Mavericks upgrade from Mountain Lion deletes all user accounts

    This is a lesson for upgrading too early (and too eagerly).
    Today I tried the Mavericks upgrade from Mountain Lion on my 2007 Macbook Pro, after going through all the pre-installation/pre-upgrade checklists.
    I don't think I have gone from a very high to a down low in such a short space of time.  I really wanted to move on from Mountain Lion and when the installer finished the upgrade to Mavericks and re-started my MBP, I was super excited.  When the restart completed and I was presented with the login prompt, I tried entering my user name and password.  First time, it shaked on the password... OK, you'd think that is a typo.  Re-entering the password... same thing.
    You can imagine what ensued.  After entering my password v-e-r-y slowly many times, I started realising that something went very VERY wrong.
    Just for information, I used two different user accounts on my MBP under Mountain Lion.  The one account had administrative priviledges and was only used for installing applications and a few other administrative tasks.  Then I have a second personal account, which does not have administrative priviledges and is the account I use daily for Mail, Safari, iTunes, programming etc.
    None of those accounts worked under Mountain Lion.  Basically, there is no way in.
    I then proceeded to boot with the startup option Cmd + S (command-line access).  Once that was completed, I was in as root and checked the /etc/passwd.  None of the user accounts were there.  I was only able to find two user accounts: root and nobody; and a long list of user account that started with an underscore (I think these are some sort of esoteric user accounts).  So, it appears that the Mavericks upgrade did not accurately bring over the user account information from my Mountail Lion installation.
    Then, I went into the /Users directory and there I could see the home directories for all the users as they were defined under Mountain Lion.  The contents were intact too.
    It seems to me that the Mavericks upgrade from my Mountain Lion forgot to bring over the user accounts but it did preserve the contents of all the users' home directories.
    Unless anyone can spot some sort of user error here (please let me know), I am heading back to Mountain Lion pretty swiftly.  Otherwise, I suspect there is a bug in the Mavericks installer.
    Any assistance is appreciated.

    The reason this occurred is a mystery and has not been commonly reported. Consider the following. It may or may not help. You should probably print these instructions before proceeding.
    Boot Single User mode again and do the following:
    (You can skip the first step. It will check your boot volume for errors and correct what it can. If there were errors the installer should not have proceeded, but the possibility exists that directory corruption may have occurred during installation. That seems unlikely to me but could explain what went wrong.)
    In Single User Mode:
    At the :/ root# prompt, type fsck -fy and press Return or Enter. It will take a few moments to complete. If you are concerned that nothing is happening just press the Return key until you see the :/ root# prompt again.
    Once the disk check is complete and the prompt returns, type mount -uw / and press Return / Enter.
    Type launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectoryd.plist and press Enter. If you get an error message you may ignore it.
    Type ls /Users and press Enter. All of the usernames on the computer will be listed, which is helpful if you don’t know or remember what these are.
    Type dscl . passwd /Users/username password while replacing username with one of the users displayed in the previous step and replacing password with the new password of your choice. Press Enter. You will likely get an error message about a file or directory not being found. You may ignore this.
    Type reboot and press Enter.

  • Getting User Accounts on Target Systems.

    Hi All,
    I want to get the user account info on the target system for an OIM user. I am trying to find the tables in which this info is stored. But as each target resource will have its own table for storing their respective user account information, so getting this result in a query for a user will not be possible.(Getting the target account info for all traget resources for that user.)
    Can anyone suggest me a Thor API for getting this info.
    TIA,
    Andy

    Thnx Kevin,
    But as each resource has it own table to store their respective user accounts information. So how we can join these tables dynamically?. Can you just let me know the tables I can refer in the OIM DB. I have used so far ORC, OIU and OST tables for fetching the resource info. But any of these tables doe not contain the user account info on that particular resource. Any sample will be helpful...
    TIA,
    ANdy

  • Can access secondary User Accounts but when in one no windows show up?

    Hi there,
    We are running an iMac Intel Core Duo 2 with 10.5.8 and are having issues with a second account. We set it up so that my girlfriend and I have an account each for our own iPhones. However we can't get her one to work.
    We can access it and it takes us to her screen, however it never shows any activity or windows we might have opened. We know it works because if you turn Voiceover on we can tell it's still tabbing through menus and options and running behind the scenes. But the options it gives us are limited, and it's totally unusable.
    All software is up to date, all disk permissions are OK and I have tried many of the help topics recommended on these boards. Even setting up a brand new account has the same issue.
    Any help or insight you could offer would be gratefully received in case there is anything I've missed.
    Many thanks,
    Sean

    Should anyone come to this topic in the future and be having similar issues, after 3 days of trying and resetting various things I had no joy in rectifying the fault with the second user account.
    However I have found a workaround situation for using an iPod and iPhone with the same iTunes. And it goes something 'like' this (from memory):
    1. First up, be sure to have access to all the Music and preferences on your second user account by locating their folder in the Users folder and copying their iTunes folder in their Music folder somewhere safe. You may need to press Apple + I to access the folder and allow Admin access.
    2. Start up iTunes by holding down the ALT key, which will give you the option to create a second account. Name it, say where you want it to be stored and start it up. When it's seemingly working, shut it down.
    3. Copy the whole iTunes folder you backed up at Step 1 into that folder. This should preserve the previous Users playlists, album artwork, info etc.
    4. Whenever you restart iTunes from now on, hold down the ALT key and it's simply a case of choosing which account you desire.
    RESTORING iPOD
    If however, like me, the iPod still won't work with the new account due to being synced with the faulty User Account's iTunes, then unplug your iPod, start up iTunes holding COMMAND + ALT and then plug it in. It should let you restore the iPod. Then quit out, restart the application and beginning afresh.
    BE SURE TO GET EVERYTHING OFF YOUR iPOD THAT YOU WANT FIRST THOUGH OBVIOUSLY.
    There are plenty of little apps out there that let you do so for free.
    It doesn't solve the bigger issue listed at the top of this thread alas, but goes some way to getting your iPod back in commission again at least...

  • Duplicate User Accounts on 1 Mac

    My wife has an account on our iMac that she uses for personal and work. We want to DUPLICATE here user account information and delete the work email accounts from her personal user account and remove her personal email accounts from the newly duplicated work user account.
    How can I do this? thanks

    To duplicate all the stuff in her existing account, I would, as an admin user, first go into system preferences and create a new user account.
    Next, from the admin account, I would launch Terminal.app and type
    sudo cp -vR /Users/{shortUserNameOfExistingAcc't}/* /Users/{shortUserNameOfNewAcc't}
    substituting the appropriate actual short user names for the stuff in (and including) the curly brackets. This should duplicate all her existing stuff into the new account. You can get the short user names by doing
    ls -l /Users. This may take a while to copy everything. Then do
    sudo ls -lR /Users/{shortUserNameOfNewAcc't}
    just to make sure that the newly copied files have the same owner and group affiliations as the new account does -- they should but it's best to check.
    Now, for mail accounts, you should have exact duplicates of everything in each user account, so you should be able to log into each computer account separately and remove the undesired mail account from within Mail's preferences. However, should you decide to retain the ability to check any mail account from either computer account, if any of the accounts are POP, just select "Leave messages on server" in Mail's preferences for the "foreign" mail account (i.e., personal mail on work account, or work mail on personal account).
    This should work okay for you but as always, one should be cautious and make sure that everything has in fact been duplicated, everything can be opened, read, written, executed, in the new account before deleting the corresponding originals out of the old account.

  • Manage Cedentials in User Accounts

    While looking around my User Account information I noticed a Generic Credential in Manage Credentials. It is named virtualapp/didlogical complete with a user name and password.

Also it as being from a Update from a FAKE Microsoft Update Website. From what other users have said it returns automatically after being reomoved sort of like the Google updater so does anybody have a clue about this?

  • Restore Filevault enabled user account from Timecapsule?

    My imac running Snow Leopard crashed but was backed up to my Time Capsule.
    The guy at the Apple store just erased & re-loaded the OS and said my timecapsule was still in tact after the crash.
    I tried using migration assistant at home to re-load my mac as it was before the crash from Timecapsule but it says I cannot transfer my user account because it was encrypted with filevault???
    PLEASE HELP! My entire life is on this computer and the ONLY reason i got a timecapsule with the new imac was so I could restore everything with one click after a crash!
    (as a side note my 5 1/2 year old macbook running OS X Lion crashed with the latest update and subsequently it's hard drive died at the same time! so I'm completely screwed if I can't restore my user account from time capsule.
    HELP!!!

    That's a different thing.  If they're corrupted, it could explain the problem you're having; if we can repair them, the full system restore may work.
    The difficulty here is, you can repair an internal or external HD by starting from your Snow Leopard Install disc and using Disk Utility.  But to repair the sparse bundle on a Time Capsule, you must be able to log on to your Mac with a (any) user account, and locate the sparse bundle via the Finder to mount it first.
    Since you apparently have a restore attempt running now, don't interrupt it.
    But if it doesn't work, or you can't find all your data, and if you can log on to your Mac with any account, try repairing the backups per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

  • Weird message in iCal "Error Locating Account Information"

    Hi,
    I've a problem syncing iCal with Google calendar.
    It works in the beginning very well, but sometimes I receive the message:
    Error Locating Account Information
    Request encountered an unexpected error (domain CalDAV No Calendar Home Error / code 1).
    And the calendar stops syncing.
    What is this message ? Why works well and then, suddenly, stops ?(without change any setting)
    Mac OS X - 10.6.7
    iCal 4.0.4 
    Thanks

    Greetings,
    That is an error message coming back from the Google CalDAV server when iCal requests an update of your calendars.
    1.) First make a backup of your calendars by clicking on each one, one at a time and going to File > Export > Export and then saving the files somewhere for safekeeping.
    2.) Delete the Google account from iCal > Preferences > Accounts
    3.) Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical and / or "ical"
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    4.) Launch iCal and then go to iCal > Preferences > Accounts and re-add your Google account being very careful to type in the user name and password correctly.
    See if that helps.
