User list "User name" value?

When I look in
http://myfarm/sites/division1/_catalogs/users/simple.aspx what I see are the columns:
Name
Title
Department
User name
When I go to Central Admin and perform a "Manage user profiles", then look up a user, there isn't a field called "User name".
Is there a way to modify the "User name" property for a specific user?
Thank you!

You can run:
Get-SPWebApplication | Select DisplayName,UseClaimsAuthentication
It will be true for Web Applications that do. One thing you'll also want to do is also make sure your $user variable actually has a value.
You can also run:
$site = Get-SPSite http://siteUrl
$site.RootWeb.SiteUsers | Format-Table -AutoSize
To verify the UserLogin (which is what you'd use in the Get-SPUser cmdlet).

What technology to use to store a huge list of name-value pairs?

Hi:
I have a list of name value pairs (the size of the list is ~500). I get the name from the request parameter, and depending on the value for that, I have to display images on my webpage.
How should I go about this? Should I use a Hashtable to store the values or should I use an array or should I got for XML and some pattern matching or should I write to a text file and do some pattern matching?
Please help.
Thanks

Did you mean huge (several million) or is 500 more like the number? For "huge" you use a database. For 500, if you want to access the value when you are given the name, you use a Map. Probably a HashMap would be best.

Show User List in Cell Value of Excel App

I had created an app using Import Excel SpreadSheet. I have one column named as "User" in the list. I want whenever any user add the record in the list, for "User" column it should show list of Contacts from exchange server.
Basically, when we add user in the group, we type couple of letters and SharePoint shows the name of all the users. I want the same facility for one of my column in the list.
I am using SharePoint designer 2013.
Do I need to create workflow for this?

Hi,
The SharePoint “Person or Group” column will provide such a feature that when we type in a few words, the related names will be prompted automatically.
For your requirement, you can add an extra column which type is “Person or Group” into your app, then when user add a new item in this app, he/she will be able to use the autocomplete
feature of that column.
The two links about “People or Group” column for your reference:

List - Display Name with Presence (1st column) Display User ID (2nd Column)

I have a simple list and one column titled Member and it is set as a Person field. My goal is to also have the corresponding Member.ID (ex 9012) also available as a second column so that when a user enters a name, it will auto populate the ID column.
Put another way, two columns. Col A Member (Name with Presence) Colm B Member (ID) Can this be done without coding? I need these two columns for export into Access.
Attempts thus far:
1. Attempted to create a second column and have it set as lookup, pointing to the Member (Name with Presence) Column and it wont see it. -Fail
2. Attempted to create a second column and have it set as calculated, pointing to the Member (Name with Presence) Column and it won't see it. -Fail
3. Created a new page, inserted a data view. This allows me to display Member.ID but if I open/export to Access the column is not displayed. Same occurs with Excel. It's like it does not exist. -Fail
Edit: Update, I've changed from User ID # to User Account.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to auto populate the Member ID column.
For achieving your demand, you can create an auto incrementing number using SharePoint workflow.
For more information, you can refer to these blogs:
http://dlairman.wordpress.com/2011/01/10/add-a-unique-auto-incrementing-column-to-a-sharepoint-list/
https://www.nothingbutsharepoint.com/sites/eusp/pages/sharepoint-how-to-create-an-auto-incrementing-number-field-for-use-in-a-custom-id-part-1.aspx
Also you can create an auto incrementing number using infopath:

Hello,
Can any one please advise me on how to assign a task to a specific user based on the value of the drop down list from the form. E.g. user fills the form and before they submit the form they have to select one of the name from the drop down list so the form can go to that person for approval.
Thanks in advance,
Han

I got it works now by using the xpath expression (in workbench) to assign to the selected user from the DDL in the form.

Unable to find user list in Active Directory Authenticator

Hi all,
I am using weblogic 10.3 and want to configure ActiveDirectory Authenticator for my weblogic application. We have one managed srever under admin server . I have configured a Active Directory Authenticator named "ADAuthenticator" and made following changes as per the below values:
I set the control flag to "OPTIONAL" .
Security Realms-->myrealm-->Providers-->ADAuthenticator-->Provider Specific
UserName Attribute : ServiceBEA
Principal : ServiceBEA
Host : xxxxxx
User Search Scope : subtree
Group From Name Filter : (&(ServiceBEA=%g)(objectclass=group))
Credential : xxxxxx
Confirm Credential : xxxxxx
User From Name Filter : (&(ServiceBEA=%u)(objectclass=user))
Static Group Name Attribute : ServiceBEA
User Base DN : values provided as per requirement
Port : 389
User Object Class : user
Use Retrieved User Name as Principal : checked
Group Base DN : same values as per User Base DN
Static Group Object Class : group
Group Membership Searching : unlimited
Max Group Membership Search Level : 0
These are my AD settings. After doing this i click on save and then activate changes and then restarted the admin server.
But the problem is when i login to weblogic console to check the user list under "User and Group" i am unble to find any Active Directory users.
I don't know where i made the mistake. Can some make me out of this trouble.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance !

Hi Sean,
Actually we have already a Active Directory with username "ServiceBEA" in our windows server. So i used this "ServiceBEA" as UserName Attribute in weblogic console while creating a Active Directory Authenticator.
You mean to say that we should go for "sAMAccountName" or what? If that is the case then i have also tested with following values, but still no luck.
UserName Attribute : sAMAccountName
Principal : ServiceBEA
Host : xxxxxx
User Search Scope : subtree
Group From Name Filter : (&(sAMAccountName=%g)(objectclass=group))
Credential : xxxxxx
Confirm Credential : xxxxxx
User From Name Filter : (&(sAMAccountName=%u)(objectclass=user))
Static Group Name Attribute : sAMAccountName
User Base DN : values provided as per requirement
Port : 389
User Object Class : user
Use Retrieved User Name as Principal : checked
Group Base DN : same values as per User Base DN
Static Group Object Class : group
Group Membership Searching : unlimited
Max Group Membership Search Level : 0
Please advise what to be place in case of User Name Attribute.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance !

How to find out the user list that created by someone?

Hi all:
Now I want to develop a program that can find out the user list created by someone.
such as :
John create 3 user in SAP ,they are u1,u2,u3.
Susan create 2 user in SAP , they are s1,s2.
I input the the parameter such as John , the program can give me the list :u1,u2,u3.
Could you tell me which table should I use in this program?
Thanks .
Elisa.

Hi Ling,
As per my understanding, you are looking for listing down the number of Users created by a particular users of the System. Like a System Administrator has created some 30 users. If this is correct, then you can use the table
USR02 - Logon Data (Kernel-Side Use). This table has 2 fields which are of importance - BNAME - User Name in User Master Record & ANAME - Creator of the User Master Record. You can query the ANAME with the username of the system and you will get the resultant users.
But I would reccomend to search the Table for a standard class, function module or RFC or BAPI so that you can reuse the same and need not to develop from the scratch.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Samantak.

I'm administrator of Macbook Pro. Can't get a home folder? Previous owner is off User list but still had a home folder on side bar. How do I get rid of hers and get a home folder of my own? Thanks for any help.

Hi: Bought a MacBook Pro age circa 2011,works great, except I understand I need to have a Home Folder. I am listed as administrator in the User accounts pref, in fact I'm the only user there. Still in the sidebar when starting up the Mac, there is the former owners Home Folder and not one for me. I want to delete her Home Folder and get one in the sidebar for me. I've tried all the things I could think of the delete her folder, but can't seem to do it as there isn't a button or prompt that I can click on to delete her folder and create one for me as the adminstrator. I'd really appreciate any help with this problem that someone might give me. Carol

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If I have understood you properly, to do that, you have to create a new administrator user with your name and for your uses. Follow these steps:
1. Open System Preferences > Users & Groups, and press the + button to create a new administrator account.
2. When you have finished creating that user, open  > Log Out, and log in your new user.
3. Open System Preferences > Users & Groups, select the old user and press the - button to remove the user. If you want, you can select the option to remove the Home folder of this user, so you will only have the Home folder for your account

How do you make the Filter so we can use the FIM cmdlets to list Users who have no Manager attribute

I can easily create a Set of Users who are "unusual"
The SET criteria is
EmployeeID starts with %
and Any of
    EmployeeStatus not starts with %
    EmployeeType not starts with %
    Manager not in All FIM users
This criteria works and gives me all the users when I push the View Members button.
But when I look at the Set's Filter it seems to refer to a uuid of that All FIM users Set. To be honest I dont fully understand the set's XPATH filter.
What I hope to do is to some how build a filter so that the FIM cmdlets can be used to identify and fix up these users, especially those who do not have a valid Manager. There are hundreds of these non-standard users and although possible, its not practical
to do this by hand via the "All Non Standard Users" set.
Any hints welcomed.

All users without a manager: Xpath Filters
/Person[not(Manager=/Person)]
or,
/Person[Manager!=/Set[DisplayName='All People']/ComputedMember]
<# Please do not anything in the production environment unless and until you are very much sure #>
# Powershell Cmdlet to find all users in portal not having manager
# Load FIMAutomation module
if(@(Get-PSSnapin | ? { $_.Name -eq "FIMAutomation" } ).Count -eq 0)
Add-PSSnapin FIMAutomation;
$users = Export-FIMConfig -customConfig "/Person[not(Manager=/Person)]" -Uri "http://localhost:5725" -OnlyBaseResources
foreach ($user in $users)
$x = (($user.ResourceManagementObject.ResourceManagementAttributes | Where-Object {$_.AttributeName -eq "DisplayName"}).Value)
Write-Host "$x"

How to restrict a user typing a custom value in the dDocAccount field.

I have dDocAccount field drop down pre-populated with 2 values - Dept1, Dept2. However, user can able to type any other values (say Dept3) in the account text box and checkin a doc from WCC UI. How to restrict user from entering custom values?
As an alternate solution - for time being i have the above account field is set as hidden using rule. I am trying to derive the account value from another one field's value (say Departments field with values Dept1, Dept2). I tried below code and found working:
Department is a custom field created as option list with values Dept1, Dept2
Under the Rules, for the field dDocAccount, is derived field checked and added below code
<$dprDerivedValue=#active.xDepartment, getValue("#local","dOption")$>

Hi,
If Department is a custom metadata then you should access it like xDepartment(as any other custom metadata), not dDepartment.
I know it is also possible to change the HTML that is generated for the dDocAccount field, to add javascript validation and so on, maybe this approach plus some additional JS and HTML twists and you should get it working(via component development).
Hope it helps,
Vlad

Sorting of user list in 'ACT AS' by displayname -OBIEE 11G

Hi,
I have configured 'ACT AS' successfuly in obiee 11g . We have written the following query to populate user name and displayname in the act as drop down .
<getValues>EXECUTE PHYSICAL CONNECTION POOL DAA2.DAA2 select USERNAME, DISPLAYNAME from SIEBEL_USERS </getValues>
With this query the list is getting ssorted by USERNAME .
However, our client expects the user list to be populated in the ascending order of the DISPLAYNAME.
I tried modifying the above query as below in the xml file to implement the same .
<getValues>EXECUTE PHYSICAL CONNECTION POOL DAA2.DAA2 select USERNAME, DISPLAYNAME from SIEBEL_USERS Order by 2 desc </getValues>
But the liste is still getting sorted by USERNAME. Could anyone give some pointers to achieve this requirement ?

Karan

Thanks Veeravalli, I did exactly the same. Editing the registry didn't help so I deleted the service from registry and create it again and before that added the following in my installSVC file in the section you mentioned
set JAVA_VM=-server
set MEM_ARGS==-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=2048m -XX:-UseSSE42Intrinsics
But it is still not working, I am getting the same error but now it says
[Tue Dec 11 07:38:45 2012] [RunJavaApp] Loading class - =-Xms1024m

one of the things I didn't mention though was that when I create the service, I run the installAdmServer_Service.cmd file as "Run as Administrator", only then the service gets installed. Can this be related to the fact that this windows service needs to be run under admin account? or Run as Administrator? I am guessing because I tried various heap sizes and also edited my setDomainEnv.cmd and commEnv.cmd file to use 1024 as heap size it but still didn't work and it is failing may be while loading the class? If that is the case then how to run this services as administrator? Am I missing anything else?
Thanks,

Best way of creating a report where end user can maintain names in groups

I'm working on a project as a independent consultant for a company and I'm using Crystal Professional Reports version XI.
I have a main report and a subreport that contains summary totals. I'm going to link the two reports by a date parameter range. For the subreport, the report is going to be grouped by four groups. Each of the groups contain a list of names. What would the best approach to give the end user who will be running the report on a daily basis to add or remove names for each of the groups when end user is prompted to run the report?
   I want to make it easy as possible for the end user to maintain this list in the sub report because of the following reasons: after the report is deployed,I will not be there on site to maintain it instead I will be available over the phone for support and the end user is the manager of the department and is not a Crystal reports developer or programmer.
   I hope that made sense. If not I can give more details. Have a good day.
Thanks for your help,
Ting

Well let me start by saying that maintaining hard coded lists in a report definition is a bad idea and should be avoided if at all possible.
This of course means that it isn't always possible... In fact I have a few of my own reports that suffer from the same situation. Here is the way I handle it to make the list maintenance as easy and error free as possible.
#1) I created a new Report Custom Function. Let's call it NamesToGroups. The function will look like this... (Crystal Syntax)
Function (stringVar PersonName)
SELECT PersonName
CASE
"Gustavo Achong",
"Catherine Abel",
"Kim Abercrombie",
"Humberto Acevedo",
"Pilar Ackerman",
"Frances Adams",
"Margaret Smith",
"Carla Adams" :
    "Name of Group 1"
CASE
"Jay Adams",
"Ronald Adina",
"Samuel Agcaoili",
"James Aguilar",
"Robert Ahlering",
"François Ferrier",
"Kim Akers",
"Lili Alameda",
"Amy Alberts" :
    "Name of Group 2"
CASE
"Alberto Baltazar",
"Wayne Banack",
"Darrell Banks",
"Norma Barrera",
"Gytis Barzdukas",
"David Bartness",
"Karel Bates" :
    "Name of Group 3"
CASE"Donald Blanton",
"Linda Burnett",
"Michael Blythe",
"Gabriel Bockenkamp",
"Michael Bohling",
"Eli Bowen",
"Lester Bowman",
"David Bradley" :
    "Name of Group 4"
Default : "Unknown Name"
Note that the list setup makes it easy to see who's in what group and makes it easy to add new people to the correct group...
#2) Now you can simple use the function in a formula. Lets call it NameGroups and the formula would look like this...
NamesToGroups({TableName.FullPersonName})
#3) Now NameGroups is available for grouping or selection purposes or just to add as a formula on the design surface.
#4) If you are using CRS or BOE the function can be saved to the repository for use in other reports as well
Now any time a new name needs to be added, the user can access the "Report Custom Functions" are of the Formula Workshop and add the name to the function, which in turn, will be propagated through the rest of the report. It's also easy to see how the function is actually working so that new groups can also be easily added.
HTH,
Jason
