User redirected to homepage after re-login to new authscheme

We define a new authentication scheme and assigned to a iView
displaying sensitive data. The new scheme has higher priority than the
default one, so users are required to re-login before accessing the
iView. Problem is after user re-login, he/she is redirected to portal
homepage, user has to navigate back to where he/she was to see the
iView. This creates a big usability problem.
We would like user to be able to see the iView after re-login, is this
possible?

Hi Mike, definitely seems to be an IE security-related options setting on his computer. Have you tried adding the site in his trusted sites list? You may also have to uncheck the "require server verification" box. Also, might need to uncheck
the "enable protected mode." Last thing to try: check the "automatic logon with user and password."

Create a user through the API and "Prompt user to change password after next login".

Using the Adobe Connect Interface, I can create a user and check the checkbox to "Prompt user to change password after next login".
Can I achieve the same result using the API? The principal-update action doesn't offer such an option and, as far as I can tell, there isn't another action to do so either.
Thank you.

You can achieve it as part of your application functionality, but not as a configuration option on WLS.

New users created in APEX can't login to new App

I've imported an APEX application that I created with the downloaded version of APEX (2.1.0.00.39), into apex.oracle.com. I tried to create a new user for the application. With a NULL default schema (meaning it should have access to any schema), no user I seem to create though is able to log in to the application. It says invalid credentials.
When I create a new user, does that user go through some sort of validation process by Oracle and isn't valid until Oracle does it's magic tap on the newly created user?

Hi Tyler,
As you have created application users (as opposed to database users) is your application using "application authentication" or is it using "database authentication"?
You can check which one is current on the application's "Shared Components >> Authentication Schemes" and change it if required.
Regards,
Mike

User account not showing up in login screen after Leopard upgrade

One of my admin accounts is no longer showing up at log in. I did the upgrade and password suggestions on the support sight... titled Unable to log in to account after an upgrade but still no good. The only account affected did have a password of 8 characters or more.
I go to open System Preferences when in a different account with admin rights and I don't see my original account as an existing user? I can see my original stuff in the user folders, but I am not listed as a user in the Account Preferences or Login. I also cannot create a new user with the same name as my old login as that name is apparently(!) already in use. I have an account with admin rights that is showing up.
From a different thread it seems that many others are having this problem thus I think it warrents its own thread. What is the easiest way to bring back my account and data... I know it is there it just is not showing up at log in.
tbigsmo wrote this from other thread... hmmmm
One more thing, I created a new user and copied over all folders from my old user account and that didn't even think about working. The last solution was suggested by the apple 800 number. This is what I was going to try next, but now am waiting. Also the other thread was very hard to follow as many folks did not have access to a working user admin account.
How can I find myself too?

Turns out you're both right, sort of...
* The Guest Account is hidden because it's a sub 500 user, so you guys were on the money there. (I hadn't realized it was a sub-500 user...)
* Using the hint at the link posted by V.K. to hide the secret administrator hides it ONLY from the login window, but not from the Accounts section of System Preferences...so, that solution doesn't work for me. (This is going on a master image, and the users will have admin rights, so they would be able to delete the secret administrator account...)
So, I'll just have to live without having the actual Guest account active (which I need active for use with Orbicule Undercover,) and instead I created a standard user (with a few parental controls) named "Guest User."
Thanks, both of you, for your help.

Need to display last login details to the user after they login into portal

Hi All,
As per our requirement ,we need to display to the user,the following things:
1.Last login date and time will be maintained and displayed to the user after login.
2.Last unsuccessful login date and time will be maintained and displayed to the user after login.
3.No. of unsuccessful retrials before locking the user will be maintained and displayed to the user after login.
Therefore we are creating a webdynpro application wherein we are making use of the UME API and trying to retireve these information.
The methods i am using are:
IUserAccount.getLastFailedLogonDate() // To fetch the Last unsuccessful login date and time
IUserAccount.getFailedLogonAttempts() // No. of unsuccessful retrials
IUserAccount.getLastSuccessfulLogonDate() // Last login date and time
But the problem is IUserAccount.getLastSuccessfulLogonDate() is deprecated and i unable to use it,and also i am unable to get the value *IUserAccount.getFailedLogonAttempts() * I am only geting zero.Can anybody let me know alternative method to get this details.
Request you to guide me and help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Nishita Salver

Hi,
I hope you are trying to show your login date from SharePoint List.
My suggestion is
1. by using ECMA Script ,retrieve values from that list and show the same in Master Page.
2. If you are not comfortable with ECMA, develop Visual Webpart and add the Visual Webpart in master page by using SharePoint Designer.
Please let me know ,if you need further guidance.
Don't forget to mark it as an Answer if it resolves your issue and Vote Me as helpful if it useful.

Because I am following a link from a topic to which I am subscribed. If 8-10 other forums I participate in can, many of which at not technology related whatsoever, then I 'm sure Apple can figure it out.
Follow the logic here...
1. On my Mac I receive an email notifying me of a response to a topic to which I am subscribed in Apple Discussions.
2. I click the link in the email in MAIL.app, this discussion for example 'To view or respond to this message, visit <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7019288#7019288> '
3. This launches SAFARI and opens the thread in APPLE's discussion forum website.
4. I want to reply to the discussion.
5. I click 'Login'.
6. I am taken to the login page.
7. I login.
8. I am redirected to the main Apple Discussion page, http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa NOT the page I was viewing prior to logging in.
To get back to that page AND be logged in I can either...
Switch back to mail.app and re-click the discussion topic link
OR
Hit the BACK button twice in Safari then hit RELOAD to refresh and get the Apple Discussions site to realize I am now logged in.
There are two simple solutions that would also result in less work for Apple's servers, not requiring them to needlessly reload multiple pages.
1. Redirect me back to the forum thread I was viewing after I login.
2. Provide a login WITHIN the page am viewing.
As I said I probably subscribe to 8-10 forums, none of which have built the hardware (Mac Pro) or software (Mac OS 10.5.2, Mail.app and Safari) yet they ALL are able to do both or the above.
Somehow Apple is not able to do either even though they built the hardware AND the software.

LMS 3.2.1 - New user gets white page after login

Hy Pros.
Recently I've added a new local user to the LMS, but everytime he logs in, he gets a white page in his browser.
I've tried the workarounds for bug CSCte29226, but they didn't fix it.
Do you have any hints?
regards
Marc

Existing user still get their Portal shown, but not new users.
The LMS is connected to an ACS, but not in ACS Mode. We're only authenticating the users at the ACS. Authorization is still local.
But this seems to be working, becasue if the new user is mistyping the password, the login page reappears telling that the authentication failed.
Following your link I get this:
Bug CSCtb17186 does not exist
Thanks.
cheers
Marc

ISE Guest Access- Redirect to URL after successful logon

Currently, when guest users attempt to browse they get redirected to the guest portal. After login, they get a message that they can now access the original URL. Is there a way to automatically redirect to the URL they were trying to access, or remember the URL after they login?

ISE guest flow :
The user associates to the web authentication Service Set Identifier (SSID).
The user opens the browser.
The WLC redirects to the guest portal (such as ISE or NGS) as soon as a URL is entered.
The user authenticates on the portal.
The guest portal redirects back to the WLC with the credentials entered.
The WLC authenticates the guest user via RADIUS.
The WLC redirects back to the original URL

How can my users unpause a printer without admin login?

Everytime a printer goes into a paused state it requires me to login as the admin for the que to unpause the printer. Any ideas?

Hi!
Disable printer queue password requirements for 10.5 (works also in 10.6.8):
Mac OS X 10.5 requires you to enter an administrator's password to pause/resume a print queue, where no previous version of OS X has done so. This is extremely annoying in a lab setting -- if there's a paper jam or something, the queues on all the computers need to be restarted by an administrator, instead of the user just clicking Resume. I haven't seen a solution to this elsewhere, so here's what I came up with:
1. As root, or in a Terminal session with su privileges, edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.
2. Find this section:
Limit Pause-Printer Resume-Printer Enable-Printer Disable-Printer Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job Hold-New-Jobs Release-Held-New-Jobs Deactivate-Printer Activate-Printer Restart-Printer Shutdown-Printer Startup-Printer Promote-Job Schedule-Job-After CUPS-Accept-Jobs CUPS-Reject-Jobs> AuthType Default Require user @AUTHKEY(system.print.admin) @admin @lpadmin Order deny,allow</Limit>
3. Remove the items you don't want limited: Pause-Printer, Resume-Printer, Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job, etc.
4. Save the file, quit the editor, and restart your computer.
Found here: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20081107092520601
You can also do this in a webbrowser on localhost:631 (127.0.0.1:631)

Printer is asking for an user acces code instead of windows login and password?

I have been seeing the HP printers asking(LaserJet M4555 MFP, LaserJet 500 color MFP M575 etc) for user access code instead of windows login and password.
One thing i have noticed is that when this happens there is a slight change in the EWS page configuration at security -> access control.The device administrator tabe is unchecked as you can see below ehen this happens
Have tried cold resetting the printer and restore facory settings but this does not works and some thimes it does works for a while but the issue is returing back.
We do not need this access code promt instead we need the usual windows login and password that used be there originally.
alsothis is how the settings look like after a cold reset somtimes when it does not asks for user access code , the problem is cold rese does lways works and it reverts back ois original settings

[SOLVED] Blank screen after SLiM login

Hello everyone, I'm very new to Arch as of a few days ago and I have been attempting to set it up in just about all the free time I can spare. I think I've spent about 20 hours total trying to get things up and running.
I am attempting to run Arch with LXDE, openbox, and SLiM. I finally managed to get SLiM up and running where I can login without receiving any errors. However, after I try to login I'm brought to a blank screen. Now.. I'm new to this and have followed all the Knowledge Base Documentation on how to get these three running but I guess apparently I'm missing something somewhere...
Keep in mind I have to type this manually as I do not have any Internet program installed. Maybe if someone can point out my error or make an additional recommendation, that would be great. I really hope I'm not asking too much, even a link to something that may help I would greatly appreciate.
I'm pretty sure it's something stupid I'm missing.. again, I've read through the Knowledge Base Documents numerous times and simply cannot find out what I'm doing wrong (I have the ATI Open Source driver installed).
~/.xinitrc (I have this setup for ~/ and /home | this is also set as executable)
#!/bin/sh
#~/.xinitrc
#exec ck-laungh-session dbus-launch openbox-session
login_cmd exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --edit-with-session /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session
/etc/rc.conf (skipped to the DAEMONS section)
DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng network netfs crond slim)
If you need any more information I'd be glad to provide it if anyone is willing to help..
Thank you.
EDIT: Fixed typos..
Just another note. I can see my mouse after I login from SLiM and if I press alt+ctrl with any arrow key I can see the workspaces window pop up.

Just to be clear slim.conf should contain the following with no reference to lxde.

.xinitrc should contain:
exec startlxde
And ensure that dbus is in rc.conf. Place it after netfs.
I made the changes you suggested, now what happens is when I login to SLiM with my end-user, the screen goes black for a moment, then right back to the login screen.
EDIT: changed "--exit-with-session" to "--edit-with-session" in /etc/slim.conf
EDIT 2:
Is the ~/.xinitrc supposed to be setup like..
login_cmd exec startlxde ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --edit-with-session /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session
or is it simply supposed to be
exec startlxde
Hope I'm not asking too much.. I just don't want a broken system..
EDIT 3: Apparently it's "horrible typo day" for me. I had --exit-with-session before. I just typed it wrong in my post. Changed it back.

The User Profile Service service failed to Login user Profile error in Windows 7 Home Premium

Hi,
I recently purchased a new Dell Inspirion 1564 Laptop which had Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed.
The hardware configuration is i5 core Processor, 4GB Ram , 320GB HDD and 512MB Graphics card.
Today morning, I couldn't login as the system returned the following error after I entered the password.
"The User Profile Service service failed to login.
User Profile cannot be loaded"
I couldn't login at all as i had not created any other user account, even the face recognition didn't work.
I had to restore my pc to the previous state. I believe this happened after the installation of Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - March 2010 (KB890830) update, not immeditately though as i used the system few times after the installation of this update.
Is this a bug? I cant imagine if this happens if I am about to give a presentation, its going to be disastrous!
Any help is appreciated

I'm getting the same issue - I'm the IT Manager at a school where every student has a laptop (fujitsu tablet T4410). This occurs to at least one new student every day. I have been unable to re-create the issue on demand, although I suspect it occurs when a temporary user profile gets created after the logon process takes too long (due to some disk activity, possibly related to windows updates or some thing). When we were creating student accounts on the machines, this would occur if we attempted to log in the newly created account before the computer had 'settled down' - it seems that there is a logon timeout, after which something stops working. If the new user's first logon happened too soon after booting, the profile would be corrupted. But this doesn't quite explain why it occurs seemingly randomly now.
My current solution is to boot into safe mode, back up the user's files, delete the account, create it again (the other suggested solutions on the internet did not work)
If you're desperate, you can log in while in safe mode, and use that to create a new account.
In any case, this is proving a very bad experience of Windows 7 for my students, and I hope to see a more useful fix for this soon.

Safari kicks me out of ebay after i login and my bank website???

Safari kicks me out of ebay after i login and try to go to myebay or leave feedback. It asks me to login again and when i do the same thing happens. Same with my bank website too. It wont remember that i logged in even after i checked the box to remember my username. What is wrong with this?

HI,
First, go to Safari/Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Make sure; User names and passwords is selected.
Now, open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities). Select Passwords on the left.
Right or control click: "Safari Forms Autofill" and both your "Apple ID" keychains. Then click Delete. Quit Keychain Access
Relaunch Safari. Click Login. Type in your username and password. When prompted, click: Yes.
You may also need to empty the Safari cache. From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Reset Safari.

Can't login to new open directory users

I have a Mac Mini Server running 10.8.2 Server. I have existing users, most with no home directory and a couple with network home directories.
However, any NEW users I add (in LDAPv3), they aren't able to login. When I create the user, the "access account" option is checked and stays checked after the user is configured & saved, and stays that way when I relauch Workgroup Manager.
However, when I attempt to login to this user from a network comptuer, the "access account" checkbox gets unchecked. I can check it again and save the account, but when I reopen Workgroup Manager, it's unchecked.
Help???

Good tip from Francis.
Last night I finaly was able to get things back to semi normal to summarise here are some tips that worked for me.
Things first went wrong when I tried to add a new user in work group manager. After doing this I got some quite strange behaviour.
The server appeared to hang when loggin on with the new user. but ssh to the server was working. Finally after about 10 minutes I hit the reset button on the server it appeared to go into sleep mode then automagically it logged in the user. Wow did it work .... no, Bad news other users could no longer ssh to the server... Arrrr. Cause tracked down to Kerberous reported as no longer running... Clients (my family ) startign to report cant access services like email ... help...
Rather than all the pain of tryig to fix that this is what I did.
1) Back up OD in Server Admin ( not Server.app) OD dosent show up there dont know why ??
2) Make sure the DNS is working
nslookup, dig, hostname commands ... all reported correctly forward and reverse MYSERVER.MYDOMAIN.COM. domain and IP address. I even re-ordered the DNS name so that the local address 192.168.10.X was reported first on my local netwrok before the external ip of the server.
3) Create a completly new OD by deleatign the old one by setting is as a stand alone then re-creating is as a new master ( use Server Admin tool )
Finally Kerbrous all reported as runnig ... Try again to add a user...
4) Add new user in Workgroup manager open on server not remotly this didnt work.
5) set home account with apf://fqd.name/Users/
6) make sure home account is accessable on network.
6) set shell
7) in Server Admin give all permissions to services new user will need. such as ssh login as required.
8) in Server.app ( not Server Admin or workgroup manager )
check that new user appears. The local OD must be in the Directory Exployer search path for this to happen
and the server must be binded to this path.
I added both /Ldap3/127.0.0.1 but also importantly /ldap3/MYSERVER.MYDOMAIN.COM
9) in Server app click on the user then select the Advanced settings. Make sure user has home dir selectd as the correct /Users folder on the server
( this was not set at first and had the value of 99 no idea why ) there are also other important settings here.
10) Finally restore OD with perevious backup to add back the rest of the users.
Apparantly this actually does a merge not a overwrite.
End state every thign finaly working .....
except the iChat/jabber server for some reasion wont accept authanicate users.... rrrr.
Bonjour works on the local network but well the point of havign a jabber server was for family in countary A to talk to grandparents and have private secure video phone with country B so would have been nice if that worked
Good luck
Hope that helps
