User Creation causes Password Service to Crash

Hi All,
I have 3 Intel XServes and 2 Mac Pros on different sites which all have the same issue. When I create a user in Workgroup Manager, the following error occurs and the Password Service crashes:
"Got unexpected error
Error of type Not a known DirStatus (-1) on line 1922
of /SourceCache/ServerManagerUserGeneral/
ServerManagerUserGeneral-193.4.1/
UserAdvancedPluginView.mm"
As well as the password service crashing, it causes all other users to stop authenticating until the server is rebooted.
If I create a user with the default shortname (i.e. untitled_1) then the service does not crash. I have reinstalled the OS, replicated my build on a PPC machine with no issues but continue to have this error on the Intel machines. I have even tried installing the server OS onto an Intel iMac just to test and it does the same thing, including OSX Server 10.4.7 and 10.4.8
Has anyone else come across this or have any suggestions on what may have caused it?
Cheers,
PJR

Finally had Apple on the phone again yesterday who admitted that this was a known issue - Only took 8 months from when I first raised it!!

Have just realised why my XServe does not have the "MacOSXServerUpd10.4.8Univ.pkg" sitting in the receipts folder.... the server shipped with a 10.4.8 disc so that is the 'base OS' for it.
Have just checked another server running 10.4.8 on a Mac Pro and that does have the file as originally (because it doesn't ship with the Server OS) came with a 10.4.7 Server install disc.
I have upgraded the XServe to 10.4.9 using the combo update and initial testing seems to show that it is all working properly, however this server is in an integrated environment and not authenticating users usually.
I will have to backup another server running full OD services and try an upgrade (or reinstall the pkg) on this.
Many thanks!!

Blu-ray creation causes windows blue screen crash

I am testing Premier Elements 7 for the creation of best quality DVD and Blu ray disks. Source is AVCHD 1920x1080i and I have managed to create a number of DVD's and one Bluray without problem. My latest trial creating a Bluray disk failed at about 98%, burn in progress with a Device Error message. This resulted in a blue screen windows crash. Far more worrying is if I re-insert that BD RE disk back into my PC to erase it and try again, it immediately prompts a Blue screen windows crash, so I guess the disk is ruined. I have previously used Premiere Pro, Ulead and more recently Cyberlink Power Director and Sony Vegas. The quality of the DVD footage produced by Premier is far superior and the Bluray output was also excellent. Cyberlink has proved to be a good package appart from the poor quality of re-rendered output. Sony Vegas Pro seems the only one to recognise raw AVCHD footage and opt not to recompress it!!! The Movie Studio version doesn't appear to do this, however, I have only had a limited go at the trials. I had narrowed my choice to upgrading to Adobe Premier, or the cheaper Elements 7 which suits my requirements for home movies, however, a major windows crash, which I tend never to get has got me running scared. Why o why is there not a burn to hard disk option for Bluray creation as for DVD? Has anyone experienced a similar problem - any ideas as to what I could try?

A BSOD situation normally indicates something is wrong systemicly with the computer. It can be either software (usually OS), or hardware related.
The first thing that I would do would be to gather all info on your system and list full OS, version, updates, etc., and all hardware specs. Something in those lists might provide a clue.
Next, I'd look carefully at Event Viewer, especially at the System and Applications tabs. Look for yellow warning messages at the time of the BSOD, and especially the red error messages. It might be easier to invoke a BSOD, so you will know the exact time and date of the crash. Study each yellow and each red message carefully. Many might not yield much useful info, but some might tell you a lot of about what is happening, and may even give you the cause. Please explore every link that is offered in each of these messages. They should take you to either the MS site, or to the site of a software, or hardware company. These will likely be where you'll gather the most important data.
Here's what to look for in Event Viewer:
Give us any details found there.
Also, see this LINK. The video is a bit long, but will furnish you with a lot of troubleshooting tips, and also tools from MS. Make notes of these tools and their use.
Good luck,

Sample OLAP client application causes Oracle service to crash!

I have a very simple Java application that establishes a connection to an Oracle9i (R9.2) database having the OLAP extension installed. After creating the connection it creates a new MdmSchema object:

Hi Stefan,
You may be running into the Cube Viewer bug that causes it to hang while writing to the log file. I just sent you an email with some Cube Viewer files for the
$ORACLE_HOME\classes\oracle\olap\express\cubeviewer directory. After placing these CV files into this directory try to run CV again. If it still does not work please send me the new Cube Viewer log file.
Thanks,

Portal user creation- Disable password Option

Hi all,
Can i disable password for all my users.
we have an option to disable password while creating users.
i tried creating but it doesnot allow me to login with password field left balnk--it says "Authentication failed. Logon with password not allowed"
hari

Hi,
Disable password doesn't mean you can login without password. It doesn't allow the user to logon directly i.e., This deactivates password-based logon. This means that the user can no longer log on using a password, but only with Single Sign-On variants (X.509 certificate, logon ticket).
This is useful if you do not require password-based logon because logon is performed exclusively in other ways (such as using logon tickets, see SAP Note 177895). In this case, deactivating the password increases security, as passwords that are not used are usually still initial.Although the deactivation of passwords cannot be made retrospectively, the administrator can define a new initial password at any time.
Check this out.

Pwck Complaining about homeless users, causing shadow.service to fail

I was looking through my journal and noticed the following error:
Jul 08 00:00:00 raspberry_pi systemd[1]: Failed to start Verify integrity of password and group files.
Checking the status of shadow.service produces this output:
~ $ sudo systemctl status -l shadow

The passwd entry for this user is
~ $ cat /etc/passwd
remote:x:1001:100::/home/remote:/bin/nologin
I guess this explains why pwck is complaining and causing shadow.service to fail. However, this user was created a long time ago, explicitly without a home directory, so I am not sure why a home path is specified in the passwd file. I also feel certain that this error is relatively new.
So, using the following command I created a test user without a home directory so that I could at least see what a passwd line for a user without a home directory is supposed to look like, but to my surprise a home path was specified in the passwd file and pwck complained about the new user in the same way.
~ $ sudo useradd -M -g users -s /bin/bash testuser
~ $ cat /etc/passwd
testuser:x:1002:100::/home/testuser:/bin/bash
~ $ sudo pwck -r
user 'remote': directory '/home/remote' does not exist
user 'testuser': directory '/home/testuser' does not exist
pwck: no changes
I also created a throwaway user on my x86 notebook to see if this happens, and it does, so this does not appear to be related to the architecture.
Is there anything I could do short of creating a home directory for this user, or does this look like a bug?

Hope it's not too late to answer this.
Changing the home directory to /dev/null seems to have solved the issue for me.
Still don't know what negative effects that might have for me, but shadow.service runs normally as far as I can tell.
Edit:
Performing
userdel -r <user>
throws
userdel: /dev/null not owned by <user>, not removing
, so setting /dev/null as the home directory is relatively "safe"

Could not connect to DbaaS Service using the given user name and password.

I'm not able to create Java Cloud Service (Oracle Java Cloud - Virtual Image Services) for my newly created Oracle Database Cloud Service instance. It fails with
"Incorrect values entered
Could not connect to DbaaS Service using the given user name and password.
Verify that the user name and password are correct and the user name has SYSDBA privileges."
I'm using SYSTEM user and the password I used during Oracle Database Cloud Service instance creation. I've verified them with sqlplus and also by connecting remotely.
Java Cloud Service wizard doesn't allow me to proceed to instance creation.

Hi Alexander,
Maybe you'll find useful the document from Oracle docs specified bellow regarding Creating an Oracle Java Cloud Instance:

User Name and Password in weblogic realm while invoking a web service

Hi,
I deployed a rpc web service using WLS 7.0 SP2 in HP-UX 11 environment. When I
invoke the web service through my browser (IE 6.0) using the web services url,
it brings my service method correctly. From there, if I click the invoke button
it asks me for a network user name and password under "weblogic" realm??? If I
provide the admin user credentials (which I supplied while creating my domain)
it is not accepting that it keeps popping up this network user password window
over and over. Not sure which username/password I have to provide here to see
the result of my service.
If I try to invoke the web service through my client (static) I am getting a connection
refused exception. I guess either way, I am not able to access my web service.
In the attached file, I have cut and pasted the client stack trace as well as
the server log trace from weblogic.
Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ganesh
[errorstacktrace.txt]

I think the client is not able to do a HTTP POST
to the WLS server but it can do a HTTP GET.
I dont know why.

GRC 10: Initial password for multiple users creation in a ARQ request???

Hi All,
I was trying to create a request in ARQ for multiple users. I noticed that, I could add all the necessary required information for multiple users using the template. I added the roles as well. However, I could not set the initial password for multiple users as the tab "User System Details" (where the initial password is provided for a single user) is disabled!!!
The users were successfully created in the R/3 system. However, due to non-availability of initial password, these users could not log into the R/3 system.
May I know how to set the initial password for multiple users?
Regards,
faisal

Vit,
I was trying to test this multiple user creation scenario. But I am surprise to get a template where in I have only below mentioned fields:
1. User Name
2. User Id
3. Email
I filled these details and uploaded. Then filled the "User Access" details. While submitting the request, I got the error:
"Last name is not mentioned for user id XXX"
But there is not such column in provided template by GRC!
I added 2 columns: First Name and Last Name and saved it and uploaded again. These details are not picked up!
Following are the only columns shown:
1. User Name
2. User Id
3. Email
4. Manager
Out of above, only "Manager" field is editable and others are disabled.
Last time I remember, I has got complete template with all the columns. Unfortunately, I have deleted it and not available with me now.
Any idea you have why am I getting such incomplete template?

CUP: user creation in CUA child client but incorrect CUP password feed back

Hi all,
This looks like the same unresolved post from Vincent Doux on this forum as well.
Re: AC CUP: user creation in child client when already exist in CUA
When we create a request for a new account to create a user in a CUA child client, - and the user already exists in the CUA master - we find that the password fed back by CUP via its email that has the password link in it, is not the one as it was created by CUA in the respective child client.
Ergo, the user can not log on with the password provided by CUP.
CUP's provisioning message is OK, the user is properly created in the child client but the the password given by email from CUP doesn't allow to connect user on to the child client.
As a contra-test: When creating the user directly from CUA manually the password is however working corrrectly on the child client.
Does someone know how to have the correct password (CUA) in the CUP email notification or how to solve this?
Both Java and CUA master and Child Client are on 5.3 SP 6. I checked OSS note 1168508
Regards
George

Hi George,
Have you got the CUA configuration settings maintained correctly?
CUP may not be referencing the correct destination and therefore maynot be interfacing correctly to provide the correct password.

pls help me out it is urgent based.

Thanks!

Hi Ychinnari,
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, as
Vaishu00547 mentioned that the issue can be caused by the Execution Account you have configured in the Reporting Services Configuration Manager is not correct, Please update the Username and Password and restart the reporting services.
Please also find more details information about when to use the execution account, if possible,please also not specify this account:
This account is used under special circumstances when other sources of credentials are not available:
When the report server connects to a data source that does not require credentials. Examples of data sources that might not require credentials include XML documents and some client-side database applications.
When the report server connects to another server to retrieve external image files or other resources that are referenced in a report.
Execution Account (SSRS Native Mode)
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

RH8 causing other apps to crash?

Hello -
I have a colleague (working in another office, so I can't really see this problem first hand) who is trying to install RH8 on a Win7/32 machine (new install, not an upgrade). A member of her IT dept is performing the install.
After the installation of the app and patches is finished, RH seems to work more or less normally (she's new to RH, so her sense of "normal" is rather limited at this stage). The problem is that other applications lock up and crash (she mentioned MS Office apps in particular, but that could be because those are the ones she tends to use the most).
After un-installing RH, the other apps no longer crash.
I've recommended re-installing but skipping the "RoboHelp for Word" piece, but I can't think of anything else.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen a similar situation? I've found other threads that deal with RH crashing or the RH install failing, but I couldn't find any in which RH caused other apps to crash.
Thanks,
Dave

Hmm...I posted a reply via email, but it isn't showing up, so I'm pasting it in.
Hi, Rick -
Thanks for the suggestions. Like some of the other threads I've found, these seem to deal mainly with RH crashes rather than other apps. But your first link possibly has some overlap as the menu issue it describes also pops up in a thread I found:
"RoboHelp 8 crashes on Windows 7"
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2955493#2955493
This thread includes a scenario in which Outlook and other apps are failing. Additionally, some users were having RH crashes related to the menu bug. Some users found relief by uninstalling source control, others did not. Finally, An Adobe employee posted a fix that corrects issues related to Oleacc.dll which helped some users.
To be thorough, I'll mention that the problems are occurring on a laptop (another thread traced RH crashes to a BioMetric service running on their laptop). And my colleague has the FoxIt PDF utility installed (I don't think this should be the issue here, but perhaps worth a mention.)
I'm going to suggest that they try:
1a. Check the registry to ensure traces of the previous RH install are gone.
1b. Reinstall but omit source control and RH for Word (I think you can skip these during install? I'm no longer allowed to to perform my own installs, so I'm less familiar with the process than I once was.)
2. Ensure patches are installed (version should be 8.02.208)
3. If that doesn't work, try the Oleacc.dll fix.
4. If that doesn't work, try another Win7/32 machine (preferably non-laptop).
5. If all is well on the other machine, I guess it is time to start looking at which non-essential services might be causing a conflict.
Regards,
Dave
