User names list in netinfo manager

I have never used netinfo manager but today I opened it out of curiosity and clicked on users and found a enormous list of user names. Can anybody tell me why they are there? Is this a security issue?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!!
This is a list of the "System" users in 10.4. It is possible, depending on your installed software, to have others.
-2 nobody Unprivileged User
0 root System Administrator
1 daemon System Services
26 lp Printing Services
27 postfix Postfix User
423 openbase OpenBase
70 www World Wide Web Server
71 eppc Apple Events User
74 mysql MySQL Server
75 sshd sshd Privilege separation
76 qtss QuickTime Streaming Server
77 cyrusimap Cyrus IMAP User
78 mailman Mailman user
79 appserver Application Server
82 clamav Clamav User
83 amavisd Amavisd User
84 jabber Jabber User
85 xgridcontroller Xgrid Controller
86 xgridagent Xgrid Agent
87 appowner Application Owner
88 windowserver WindowServer
91 tokend Token Daemon
92 securityagent SecurityAgent
99 unknown Unknown User
Rather than being a security issue, these separate users actually contribute to enhancing the security of the system!

USER NAMES LIST BASED IN A QUERY

Hi
I want to create a user names list base in a result of a query.
I must give access to specific users which are in table, this table is for accesing to the oracle portal.
But for defining what users must have access I need another table which contains a field defines what users can access to the application.
How do I must do for creating this user list?
The apex application begins when I click in its link created in the Oracle portal, this action sends a parameter of the user name of the portal.
Based in the username sent, the first page in the apex application must execute a query on load and its result must redirect to the page for user valids or another page for invalid users.
For that I have thought in doing an application without authentication scheme.
Also the application must save the username for knowing what user did the last change in a table. But this username must be the same of the oracle portal user name.
Is posible create a username list in apex which be contains the same user names of the oracle portal? How to do that?
I expect your prompt reply.
Any help would be thank.
Regards.

I think VPD (Virtual Private Database) and RLS (Row Level Security) are the tools to solve your problem. Take a look at them, there are cool demos on OTN too.

DSL user name & password

When I connected my replacement DSL modem/router from Verizon, it connected automatically. I did not have to enter the Verizon DSL user name and password that were used for my old modem and router. When I checked the new modem settings, the user name listed is "dslnew" and the password is not visible (only ********).
Do I need to change this to my old login, or just leave as is?

On most VZ modems the default login is admin and password. Then you S/B prompted to set a new password. Have you tried pressing and holding the reset button (15 seconds) while the modem is on. This will zap any custom settings and set it to factory specs.
Does the modem have a sticker with the default login information on it? (My FIOS router did).
Could you please list the make and model of your modem if this does not help.

Netinfo manager users are listed on my login screen

Recently I found unknown users showing up my login screen along with my regular accounts.
I searched around and found them in Netinfo manager: amavisd, clamav and others are listed on my login screen. They have network backgrounds as part of their picture and the black user silhouettes.
I am also having screen problems that look like radio waves periodically shooting across the screen. In addition, to some fine broken lines that don’t move. Sometimes the screen looks fine, but not always.
I have no clue what I have done. I reinstalled update 10.4.9 and still no change. I am afraid to tamper with netinfo manager for fear of making things worse. Does anyone know what I’ve done or what to do to fix this?

The login window is supposed to display users only with UID 500 or greater... sounds like that got florfed somehow.
Try loggin in to your admin account, opening Terminal, and entering this:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow Hide500Users -boolean true
(that is all one big long line)
You might need to reboot for it to take effect.

Without NetInfo Manager I have to use IP address instead of computer name

Great. [/sarcasm] Removing NetInfo Manager from Leopard has just made my life a lot harder. Back with 10.4 I simply used NetInfo Manager (after a little research) to add what were basically HOSTS file entries for all the computers in our extended private network that I need to remote control.
I would use a software VPN to connect to the private network side of my client's office:
* Cisco VPNClient (software VPN) Version 4.9.01
...and then use remote control to connect to the servers I need to work with:
* Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac - Version 1.0.3
Given that the software VPN disables other communications like... DNS lookups... then you're forced to manually enter the lookups yourself into the HOSTS file. Given that OS X 10.4 had NetInfo Manager then that wasn't necessarily a problem. Over time, I entered all the machines I had to talk to.
After my upgrade last night to OS X 10.5 I now find that it's removed those entries, removed my access to the HOSTS file and even changed completely the mechanism behind-the-scenes. The help system suggests reading up on Open Directory administration.
I've tried a variety of work-arounds and none work, given the software VPN restrictions as combined with Apple's complete removal of what I originally put into my HOSTS file.
*So now I have to memorize all the IP addresses of all the private machines I routinely connect to.* This is stupid and frankly ridiculous from a company that's supposed to have a simple interface for its users. If I am to enter these values again manually I need to now become a UNIX geek somehow to figure out how to manipulate some entry system. I now run the risk of accidentally rebooting the wrong server if I use the wrong IP address.

I eventually found the wiki page on NetInfo Manager... which had a bibliographical reference to a page that yields the following how-to:
Finder - Applications - Utilities - Terminal:
To add a HOSTS file entry (effectively) for the host name "www1" to the IP address "10.1.1.1":
sudo dscl localhost -create /Local/Default/Hosts/www1 IPAddress 10.1.1.1
To delete it again:
sudo dscl localhost -delete /Local/Default/Hosts/www1
You'll need the root password when prompted.

Who are all these "users" in my Netinfo Manager file, local?

I am looking at my MAC's Utilities file: Netinfo Manager, local @ localhost, users. Who are all these "users" such as "nobody" , "unknown", "tokend" etc. ? I understand that I should NOT remove things from this file, but what SHOULD be listed in this file? Where do these "users" come from? Could some "users" have been placed there maliciously?

There can be several user accounts that are not associated to someone logging in. The default accounts built in to the system are daemon, nobody, root, unknown, and www, and there can be others depending on what is running on your system (some background processes run as a "user") - for example, appserver, windowserver, securityagent, mysql, jabber, clamxav, etc. You can check the property values of the user (for example, "realname") to get more information.

When i double click on Mac HD the view has changed and my user name is no longer listed on the left. How can I reset this

When i double click on Mac HD the view has changed and my user name is no longer listed on the left. How can I reset this?

Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

Hello there, Ark.
It sounds like the iPhone has Activation Lock still activated. The following Knowledge Base article provides the methods available for removing the previous owner's account:

TS3899 My email account has disappeared from my iphone4. No longer listed. Now won't accept my user name and or password.

My email account has disappeared from my iphone4. No longer listed. Tried to set up new email account but now won't accept my user name and or password.

Finally went to the Apple shop where a nice young man explained that I had to use the original password not the recently changed password - case sensitive too - and finally have installed the updated Adobe Flash player with no shaking! Maybe this helps you too. JL

Managing Users - Editing a User Name and Email?

Hello!
I have absolutely no experience using the Windows Small Business Server 2003. Our IT person showed me how to add Users and this is bascially the only task I perform with regard to the server.
I recently added a new User and accidentally misspelled his name. I went back in and edited the User file to correct the name and I was able to send a test email to him and receive a response from him - however, the response came in with the sender's
name still misspelled. I went back in to the User file and found that the alias still showed the misspelled name. I corrected the error there but now the User is not able to send or receive email.
To to clarify:
1. I entered the User name incorrectly - I typed the name ending in "ki" instead of "ik".
2. Went back in to the User file and changed the name and email address to reflect the correct spelling - [email protected]
3. Sent test email to User (ik at company dot com) and received a response from User but the response listed the sender as: "Employee Ki" - instead of "Employee Ik".
4. Discovered that alias was still showing "ki" - changed alias to correct spelling.
5. User is not able to send or receive email.
My questions are:
A. Did I do the right thing by simply trying to edit the file to correct the mistake? Or should I have deleted the User and started over?
B. If it is acceptable to simply edit the file, is there some other step I am missing or that still needs to be performed so the User can receive email?
Thank you so very much for your time and assistance! :-)

Thank you so much for responding Larry!
I did go through and make the correction in every tab. (That was actually how I found out that I had missed the "alias").
This employee is mostly out in the field and will be sending and receiving email from his phone or ipad. He was able to send and receive email before I corrrected the "alias" - would changing this cause him to lose the ability to send and receive
email?
Also he left me a note that he is not able to log in under the company acount. When he attempts to log in, he is asked for the "exchange account".
I suspect that this may be more involved than just correcting the misspelling. I appreciate any assistance you may be able to provide.

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).

PowerBook G4 boots to unfamiliar login. List of known user accounts does not appear and original admin user name and password is rejected. What is going on here?

PowerBook G4 boots to unfamiliar login. List of known user accounts does not appear and original admin user name and password is rejected. What is going on here?

There are no children, nor other suspicious characters that have "played" with my computer. One moment I'm in, the next time I turn on/restart the powerbook I'm at a screen with the name of the hard drive and two fields: username and password. Not a list with pictures and names ie 'Katie Jo' with an orange icon and 'Guest' with a silhouette of a head.
In an attempt to remedy this problem, I backed up files using target disk mode and firewire cable. I then, rebooted in single user mode, typed in the correct script and essentially made the computer appear virgin again. Original start up welcome screen display with multiple languages, and then set up prompts such as language, network, and registration. After completing the cues and the "just a few more questions" page, I press continue and am left at a grey standstill, with the continue button greyed out, and no other actions. I'm only able to "go back" by clicking the go back button, all the way to the beginning of the set up, and as I proceed through the steps a second time, I'm greeted with the same halt. What is this?

SSO through the BOE repository manager for different user names.

Hi all.
I have a task to provide a SSO access from Portal to the Crystal reports, stored in the BO folder.
I've configured everything following the configuration guides, including:
1. SSO by SAP Logon Ticket with the back-end system.
2. System in portal SLD. Connection tests passed successfully.
2. BusinessObjects Enterprise repository manager (BOErm) in KM.
I've created in the Portal a test user with the same name as in the back-end system. Everything works fine.
But I SSO doesn't work if users are different.
The problem is that production users have different names in the Portal and in the back-end system.
I cannot find how can I configure user mapping for access reports through the BOErm.
I changed the Logon Method in the portal system from SAPLOGONTICKET to the UIDPW but it didn't help.
Seems like BOErm doesn't use the portal system at all and always connects to the back-end by SAPLOGONTICKET method.
Can anybody help me to solve my problem?
How can portal users access folders in the back-end system where they have different users names?
Thank you in advance.
Mikhail.

Hi,
just to clarify it a bit more.
You have a SAP EP woth SSO to BO. Whats the Datasource ? R/3, BW, CRM ?
Usually the names of the users are identical on the SAP EP and the Backend like BW.
You just have to confiure SSO (like you did), import the roles from BW to BO, grant permissions on EP (that the users/roles can see the iView), grant permissions on BO (that the users/roles have access to the report) and you should be fine.
Where is the mismatch of the Usernames ? Between SAP EP and Backend like BW ?
SAPLOGONTICKET is the only authentication method you can use between SAP EP and BO

-Seb.
