User Account Schema Question

In my home OD I have 2 users with the same name, more or less. That being myself, and my son.
My question is, is there a way to introduce the generationQualifier in the account specification so I can distinguish one of these accounts as a Sr., and the other as a Jr.?

FYI, I have found an apple attribute called NameSuffix that seems to serve the same purpose as generationQualifier. However I'm still not clear on how I could introduce this as part of the account specification.

User Account Picture Question

In the drop-down menu of +System Preferences>Accounts+ that appears when you click the user account picture, there is another menu that is labeled "Recent Pictures" where there are some older pictures you have used are located.
My question is if there is a way to delete these recent pictures, as there are some that are doubles and others I simply do not want. This is really annoying me, and I can't find the directory to delete the images (if there even is one).
I've tried going to +Macintosh HD>Users>christianwilson>Library>Images>iChat Recent Pictures+ and deleting the pictures there. That only seems to make the images not appear when I click the thumbnail when viewing "Recent Pictures" on +System Preferences>Accounts+, but this does not delete the thumbnail.
In the directory I mentioned above a file exists called Recents.plist, if I delete that will it remove both the images and thumbnails from System Preferences?

set the picture to what you want, close system preferences and delete everything in the directory you mentioned (including the plist). then open system preferences. the recent pictures list should be empty.

User account updater question

Hi,
I have two non admin. user accounts & I keep getting a dialog box asking for an admin.'s password because the "user account updater is trying to modify the directory service configuration". What is this about & why isn't this already automatically updated for all users? Can I get a bogus dialog box like this one, or are these type of things usually to be trusted??
Thanks for any help!
B.J.

Also...Hmmm?....My user name should read "I'm B.J." w/o the " / ". Is this a problem w/ my account that I should correct w/ Apple?

Tacacs server- user account auditing question

Is there a way to find out on a Cisco Secure ACS v3.1 server when an account was created?

Under Reports and Activity, there's an Administration Audit report that keeps track of everything done on the ACS server. There's no easy way to search through them all for a specific user addition, so you'll have to look back through all of them to find when the user was added.

Create user account on TARGET Golden Gate

Can I create a independent user account on Golden Gate Target ?. This is like we do on a logical standby server.
the user account in question does not exist in the source.
If yes, what are the steps invloved if any that is not normally followed.

Let me rephrase my question :
I have an GG set up between a AIX server ( source) and Linux server ( Target). Currently it is functioning and replication is upto date. I want to create a separate user account on the TARGET. This user account does NOT exist on the SOURCE. Is this possible ?
In other words in a logical standby env, we are allowed to create addition user accoints that are not part of the primary database. Those accounts will have their own objects such as tables, views etc.

Multiple Schemas under one user account with XE 10g

Hi,
I am using (learning) XE 10g. I would like to know if it is possible to have multiple schemas under one user account and have the schemas logically separated. As of right now, I have three schemas that I am working with, each one under a different user account. This is inconvenient, because I have to logout of one user account and login to another user account simply to be able to work with another schema.
Thanks

It isn't possible to have multiple schemas under one database user account. It is of course possible to grant rights to other database users, and or roles, in order to allow access to the tables/data from other accounts. In Oracle there is a one-one mapping between schema and user.

Question re: syncing User Accounts between 2 machines wirelessly. Possible?

I'm soon to take delivery of a 24" iMac and I plan to have 2 User accounts on there for myself and my partner. My partner also has a G4 iBook.
My question is, is there anyway that my partner can sync her account (documents and settings) on her iBook with her account on the iMac? ie. if she starts a Word document on one machine, then moves to the other machine and syncs, can she continue to edit the document, and vice versa?
Is there something in OS X or third party that would facilitate this?
Any advice much appreciated.
Neil

We do use portable accounts. This is so that we don't tie up the network letting users work directly from their network accounts. We also need to have the ability of our users to work at different computers, but still get access to their own stuff. We have it set up so that when a user logs onto another computer for the first time, he is asked if he wishes to create a portable home directory. We have them answer "yes". I think at that time it then brings down from their network account all their files and settings so that the new computer will look like any other computer that they already have worked at. This appears to creat what is called a mobile account on the computer. We also have syncing set up to sync at login and logout. This, hopefully will sync up their network directory to any changes made at different computers and thus make those changes appear on any other computer that they work at. Sometimes the user gets a message that their network account has changed since last logon and ask if they wish to sync to their network account or their local account. We normally tell them to sync to their network account, assuming that it has the newest changes. None of our users ever work offline from our network so their network account should always be the most recent version of any files. This is assuming that the syncing is working properly. Does this make any sense? Does it sound like we are doing this properly or is there a better, more efficient procedure?

Mavericks server alerts and User account questions

Hi
I'm looking for more detailed information about setting up Alerts in Mavericks Server, plus I seem to have a strange problem with new user accounts when setting up.
More Info.
I have a Mac Mini acting almost 100% exclusively as a Time Machine backup device with encryption of three portable computers on a wired network. This was originally set up three years using Snow Leopard Server and a 2Tb external FireWire Drive.
The external drive is now proving too small, and in any case is showing the possible first signs of failure when tested, so the intention is to replace it with a RAID of some sort, probably a 2-drive RAID 1 device but if the budget allows we might be able to look at RAID 5 or 6 units.
It seems a good opportunity to clean install Mavericks Server on the Mini, so I've set up a test station on my MacBook Pro with my Mac Pro (both running 10.9.2) as a test backup client. The Server OS is on an external FireWire boot drive, and the TM backup folders are on another external, in this case a USB 3.0
For obvious reasons there does not seem to be any reason to turn on more services than absolutely necessary, so just Time Machine and File Sharing for the moment. All works well but I can't seem to get Alerts working. I've listed 3 different eMail addresses (all mine) for the alerts to be sent to, and I have two Admin Accounts for Notifications, both using the same AppleID I set the Server software up with. I've gone through the rather sparse setup help information carefully, and there is no information about additional services being required, although I did try setting up the Mail client (tested sending and receiving) on the Server and having it running whilst the backups were being tested.
As I said, the test backups went fine and when I disconnected the backup drive from the Server to simulate a failed drive the TM on the Mac Pro client showed an alert saying the backup drive could not be found. However, there were no emails or Notifications received, either on the Mac Pro or my iPhone from the Server.
There seems to be minimal amount of information available about the workings of Mavericks Server, but I have gone through what I can additionally find online about Mountain Lion Server, with no real indication of what it is that I am missing. The only instructions seem to be exactly what I've done, so your advice would be appreciated.
Another thing that puzzles me, is that when restarting the MacBook Pro I get all the Admin and Standard User Accounts (created in Server.app) showing at the login screen. This is only four Accounts in total, so what would happen if this was 50 Users? If I click on the 'User' tab in Server.app I get 83 User Accounts showing, but that was not the case until this evening, as only the Admin and Stardard User Accounts I had set up were visible.
It's obviously possible that I've mucked up the install and basic setup somehow, but I can't see that anything I've done would have these effects as I've been careful to follow the options put in front of me.
Thank you in advance.

There's nothing to fetch. You assign the value from the function GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(USERNAME); as you would any value returned from a function.
DECLARE
myVar VARCHAR2(50);
BEGIN
myVar := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(USERNAME);
END;Hope this helps.

Question about ACS 5.1 and user account expiration

Hi All,
Is there a setting on ACS 5.1 where you can configure the user account's expiration? Speaking of users locally configured on the ACS.
If not, can you accomplish this with an external db such as MS AD? How ?
We are looking for a way to manage our guest's hotspot so what we can create temporary users without having to purchase any aditional hardware/software.
Thanks in advance,
Raga

Raga,
Here is the answer to your first questions -
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.1/release/notes/acs_51_rn.html#wp122068
As far as being able to do this in AD it is possible you can look at the following documentation which shows how to configure AD attributes, I have helped a customer retrieve the lockouttime attribute in his AD environment, I dont think this attribute is present in the 2003 DC because I was unable to replicate this attribute.
Another step would be to use useraccountcontrol -
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305144 - if set a simple condition that if this value is 512 you can permit access, when you lock the account it will add the status of disable to the type of account if it is 512 (Normal_Account) it will equal 514. The most secure is to see what value you have for the guest account by retrieving the attribute after you create the account, create a condition that matches this account.
Let me know if this helps!

Greate example. but i would like add one more point..
a user is a schema and schema is a user. but when this applies to the user that he become a schema, only if he has got some objects. so we can say while creating the user which dosent contain any objects called simple user account but afterwords when he has got an objects then we can say its a schema as the above user has shown you through the exampleIt is just word-play. There is nothing in like a 'status' indicator to say "USER_A is just a user but USER_B has become a schema". Many people use the terms "user" and "schema" interchangeably, and some very good DBAs will insist this is correct. I don't disagree with them even though I usually try to make the distinction.
In a typical application, all of the objects (tables, procedures, etc) that implement the app will be owned by a "application schema owner" - a user which exists for the sole purpose of owning the schema. Said user will have no privileges at all .. especially not CREATE SESSION. Except for possible maintenance activity no one ever actually connects as this user. User accounts are then given to actual humans who connect with their own accounts. The accounts have the necessary system and object privileges granted to them - via a role. One could also create a special account (let's call it APP_ADMIN) that is used for maintenance and batch operations within the application.

Deleting an older user account and migration assistant question

Hello,
So I'm out of the loop big time. I've had my current 17" iMac since 2006 (10.5.8) it's the white border one. Anywho I just got my new 27" i7 iMac and feel really stupid trying to migrate from the old computer to the new one. I couldn't figure it out so had to call Apple help.
First off I put the ethernet cable in the back of both machines thinking it was the Firewire and chose the Firewire option and kept wondering why it wouldn't work. Then it dawns on me I have the ethernet cable in. So I try to transfer that way and get stuck on the Install Mac OSX install disk and install the CD or DVD setup something or other. Well I stick the DVD in my old iMac and open the install disk and see nothing that says CD or DVD setup. I call the Apple line and realize that because my new iMac isn't hooked up to the internet I can't use the ethernet option (okay why I didn't realize that I don't know but it's been a long week and I haven't migrated a computer in a long time).
On top of all that the lady tells me the new iMac has a 800 Firewire and my old one only has a 400 Firewire (so that is why I couldn't get my Firewire 400 cable to work).
So she tells me it will take ages to set up wirelessly but I need to click no and not transfer data to the new iMac, then setup my internet then go back into migration assistant on both machines and click the network option. It is taking ages to do this.
I told her I was on the forums and that doing it this way would create a new user account and she said just to delete the old one once the new one is created. Is it that simple? My old user account is called Pink Tuley and new one is called Tuley. So once the migration is complete (think it's going to take hours on end, my old machine is 160GB with about 140GB of it full) do I just delete the older Pink Tuley account?
Yes, this is a long winded question I know.

elmac,
I'm currently migrating my old iMac to my new iMac via the internet wirelessly. I did what the Apple support told me to do since I don't want to go out and buy a new Firewire cable (I have a 400 one now and would have to get one that has a 400 and 800 on each end which I could have bought at the store had I known).
Instead I chose not to migrate and set up my iMac with the internet, and now I'm migrating via migration assistant opened up on both machines using using the network option. It's okay if it takes forever to do as I've waited this long (I had to wait 5 weeks for my Macbook Pro HR-AG to arrive).
My old user account is called Pink Tuley and I thought there would be mass confusion if I named the new user account the same name so I chose Tuley for this one. Once I'm all migrated do I just go into the user accounts on my new iMac and delete Pink Tuley?

CD/DVD Icon and User Account question

I'm a noob with an iBook G3 and have a couple questions, since I just purchased it used and managed to get it up and running.
Firstly, how does one open the CD/DVD player tray? There's no icon on the desktop or options I can find to add one. I did check to make sure the settings were set to display all drives and it does show in the System Info under ATA. So far, the only solution I've found is using the paper clip method and would rather have options.
Secondly, the person who had it previous has a user account, and I was wondering how to remove/reset to make it my own. I have the OS X install CD as well as the OS 9 install disks. Obviously, question one will likely help with question two. Thanks!

You really need the disc.
You can go to System Preferences > Accounts and set up a new account, being sure to give it Administrative privileges. Log out and log in as the new user. Then you can delete the other account.
The original owner should have given you the Tiger Install disc(s) as part of the deal or should have erased Tiger off the hard drive and reinstalled the version for which you have the Install CD.

DPM Agent - attaching agent user account question

Hi there,
I have a question concerning the attachment of User Agents.
During the wizard you get asked to fill in a user account which is domain user and local admin. I am working in a big organization and we use service accounts as much as we can. I found out the user account I am to use has insufficient rights, I have
found out my own AD user account works for the attachment. It is alot of work to have another department in the organisation change the rights of the service account(s).
I was wondering what purpose does the account you fill in serve. I have seen that the service runs under local system and I can't really find any information about what the user account actually does(right at that moment or later on, doesn't matter).
I am asking this since I could use my own AD account if its just for authorization during the attachment but not if the account I fill in gets used in a later sitatuation.
Can anyone clear this up for me?

Hi,
The User Account is only used for Installing and attaching the Agent on the remote Server/Client, so best will be to use a Domain Admin user.
The Agent willalways run unter System Account, so no Special Service Account will be needed.
