Windows Login Dialogue in LabVIEW

Hi Erveryone,
I want to show the Windows Login Dialogue from LabVIEW application for Windows level authentication and check if the user is member of a specific group.
I have developed a code which validates the credentials and then if the credentials are valid checks for the user to be in a specific group.
As far as the functionality is concerned, I have achieved what I am after, but we want to implement a Biometric Scanner for Authentication purposes.
The Biometric application can detect the Windows Login Dialogue box and TestStand Login Dialogue box, I hope they are a specific kind that is why recognised by biometric application.
I tried to call the TestStand Login Dialogue for the same purpose, but as it only works with the TestStand users, and keeps on popping up again and again if some other user name is used.
I searched on google for Windows function implementation and came across the following links:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa375178(v=vs.85).aspx
http://weblogs.asp.net/hernandl/archive/2005/11/21/usercredentialsdialog.aspx
I was unable to implement this in LabVIEW, could some one please help me in implementing this in LabVIEW.
Kind Regards

Hi shane5ab,
My name is Humphrey and I am an Applications Engineer at National Instruments.
From the second link you provided, it looks like a DLL is provided (either that or C# code which can be compiled). You can use this DLL with LabVIEW by using Call Library Function Nodes. This tutorial may be helpful: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-1690 .

2 windows logins, 2 ipods - sync specific ipod with userid ?

I use 2 different userids for my wife and son on our Dell desktop which uses Windows XP. They each have ipods with very different playlists under their userids. The problem is that my wife leaves her ipod connected to the usb port to charge it. If my son signs onto his userid and opens iTunes, it syncs his playlist to her iPod which is plugged in. Is there a way to associate the serial # of the iPod with a specific windows login so that it does not do the sync ?

Hey marcshap,
If the iPod is set to autosync to her user ID, then before it can be synced to another user ID logged in, it is likely someone is clicking yes to a prompt about "iPod is linked to another iTunes Library".
See the section about Automatic mode in this article for more information.
You also might want to consider Manual mode, see this article
Hope this helps,

Firefox lost my profile. My husband's profile seems to have overridden my own even on my Windows login.

Firefox 3.6.3 lost my profile. My husband's profile has overridden mine even on my Windows login. I cannot even log in to sites on my Windows profile because the cookies are gone and the sites refuse to recognize me. I am running Windows Vista.Please help.

Do the two of you share a vista account? If not, then it should still work if you log in to your account. Firefox keeps profiles separate per windows account.
If the two of you ''do'' share a Vista account, then go to '''Help > Troubleshooting Information''', and click on '''Open Containing Folder'''. That should open the current profile folder in windows explorer. Move one folder up to see if there are other profile folders in existence. See [[Managing Profiles]]

How to create a login interface in labview PDA module?

How to create a login interface in labview PDA module? So that it checks with a list of usernames and passwords and allow to go to another VI?
Anu

Anu,
I've attached a really short example that does something like what you're talking about. It just compares the user's username and password a pre-determined username and password and then "logs the user in" based on that comparison. Like Greycat said, you probably want to store this username and password info in some sort of file on the PDA that's in an encrypted format for both security and flexibility of your application.
I hope this helps,

Retrieving Username of Windows login of a remote machine

I want to implement Zero Sign On in my application,for that my server needs to retrieve the Windows login information of a client machine whenever a client machine is trying to access a particular url.
System.getProperty("user.name") returns Username of server machine.Can anyone help me telling how can i retrieve windows Username of a client machine?

If you are looking to install this application a specific set of Intranet the below solution should help you without implementing things like Signed Applets or an ActiveX component.

now,if the application is to be bounded for different set of networks(domains).Usage of solutions like Signed Applets or ActiveX components to transfer information to the server would be appropriate.

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

Fingerprint Reader not working upon waking from sleep for windows login

Hello,
I have a brand new T540P with a Validity fingerprint reader.
Rougly 80% of the time, the Fingerprint reader is unresponsive at the windows login screen after waking the computer from sleep. It works 100% of the time when booting from an off position, however. Once logged in, it also works 100% of the time. The issue only arises when logging into windows.
Things I have tried
-uninstalling/installing device in device manager and finger print manager pro software
-setting fingerprints through both fingerprint manager pro software (lenovo) OR through the built in windows fingerprint control panel options
-disabling "allow windows to turn off this device to save power" in device manager.
I should note as well that I have another T540P that I ordered as a replacement. Both models experience the same issue.
Is this a platform wide issue affecting all T540P models? This is frusterating.
Solved!

Your report is the first we have ever heard of this issue on T/W. It does not happen on my T/W systems here (with or without 30 Day Standby enabled). The other reports I heard of this problem came from X240.
I just want to confirm with you - the problem happens after coming out of Sleep (and not Hibernate), right?
Can you tell me exactly what you are doing? e.g.
1. Use the computer normally (is AC attached or not?)
2. Close the lid - the computer goes to sleep (or do you go to sleep some other way?)
3. Open the lid 2 hours later (or how long)?
4. are you using a dock?
The more info you can provide, the better. Thanks for your help.
Also please let me know what BIOS version you have.

My settings vanished and are replaced by another user's settings from another windows login. how do I get my settings back? Thunderbird also affected!

My daughter and I have separate windows logins on the same computer. We both use Firefox. Today, when my daughter logged off and I logged on, all of my settings (persona, bookmarks, history, etc) were gone and replaced with hers. My settings are correct in Internet Explorer but Firefox and Thunderbird are using her settings all of the sudden. How do I get my settings back? I have lost all of my emails and everything.

You have something else on that PC that keeps installing that Yahoo crap, it sure as hell isn't Mozilla. Google is and always has been Mozilla's partner for search engines.

Windows tries to install Labview Run-Time Engine 7.0...

I recently installed an application that installed Labview CVI Runtime engine. Anyway, ever since that time, everytime I start Labview, Windows tries to install Labview Runtime engine 7.0. It asks for a lvruntimeeng.msi file. I tried pointing it to one that I had on my system, but I think it was not version 7.0 because I got a message saying it was invalid. Anyway, I don't know why it's doing this to me, but I can't do anything to stop it, so I'm just trying to give it what it is asking for. I've searched the net for lvruntimeeng.msi files, but everytime I point it to such a file, Windows says it's invalid. I've only found a .exe file for version 7.0. Has anybody ever run across this problem. Or....does anybody have NI Labview Runtime Engine v7.0 in a .msi file?

I don't know why this is happening. The exe you have is from drivers and updates. Download this file and run it. It is an selfextracting archive which will start the setup for the runtime engine. After you have installed the 7.0 runtime engine in this way LV shouldn't ask about it.
The one thing I can imagine isr that the installed application changed a common component, e. g. Data socket, into an older version. A repair installation of your LV may also help you.

Windows Login Name and Password

Hi,
I am developing an application, which requires the windows login name for greeting and password for validating and granting privileges.
Could someone please give me the pseudo code for getting the windows login name and password.
Thanks,
Mitra.

I'll try to validate some other parameter instead of
password. The password will be stored but it will be
encrypted.Bad Thing (TM). Never store passwords.
When we are able to get the UserName using
JavaScript, why can't we get it using Java.I told you how to get it. And what does Javascript have to do with anything? Just because you can drive through a very narrow alley with your bicycle, you should be able to do the same with a truck? Javascript and Java are not related in any way.

Office prompts for windows login, when i'm trying to save edited document

Hello, i'm trying to disable webdav in office 2010.
My setup is: Apache 2.2.4 with Kerberos "mod_auth_kerb" enabled, works fine.
So fare i have this config:
.htaccess:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(OPTIONS|PROPFIND|HEAD)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Microsoft\ Office\ Core\ Storage\ Infrastructure.*$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Microsoft\ Office\ Protocol\ Discovery [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Microsoft\ Office\ Existence\ Discovery [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Microsoft\-WebDAV\-MiniRedir.*$
RewriteRule .* - [R=501,L]
This config, disables the login, which came everytime i opened the document in Internet Explorer.
But when document is opened and i want to save the document, i get a windows login prompt.
This is my access log, which shows office tries to access the webserver, but anonymously.

From what i understand, ms office opens the document (when through IE) and tries to create a webdav connection.
I have tried to disable the webdav on apache.
But the entire webserver is mod_auth_kerb "protected".
And in the access-log, i can see this:
IP, DATETIME, [email protected] document....
But also: IP, DATETIME - document <--- None authenticated user... Why does microsoft not use the current user?
I have tried to ssl enable the website, which i read in this thread: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2123563
But Microsoft Office stills act as anonymous user.

Windows Logins x Windows Groups - identify idinvidual Windows Users?

SQL Server 2008 R2 Security Whitepaper
"Logins can be based on Windows Groups in
addition to being based on Windows Users. Using Windows Logins instead of
Windows Group provides the ability to identify individual Windows Users for
tracking purposes. "
SO... I am part of an AD Domain Group and my login is granted access to SQL via AD Domain Group. I created and dropped a testdb and I see my actions linked to my domain account in the Audit.
So what is not identifiable if logins are added via Groups?!
Thanks

Hello,
Windows Users that have access to a SQL Server instance via a Windows group have their identity lost behind the group anonymity.

"Starting Window Login" PLEASE help

I have a blue G3 running Panther. I've had it for about two years (bought it from a friend, so I have no disks) and a couple of months ago I tried to start it up. However, it stops loading right before the login screen. It says "Starting Window Login" and never takes me to the login screen.
I have no disks for this computer. I really need these files. Is there any way I can get to them?
I have a Mac Mini with the Tiger disks, but I have no idea where to go from here.
I bought an external HD enclosure and put the G3 harddrive in the enclosure, but it will not mount on my Mac Mini. Could there be something wrong with my HD?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Welcome To Discussions lehatch!
In the interim, I strongly suggest that you find a means of trying to access your files, to attempt to do a backup!
If your Mac is Firewire enabled, and you have access to another Mac that is also Firewire, you could try Firewire Target Disk Mode.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
Unless purchased from AppleRescue, the discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade on them.
Additional info in these links.

Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.

Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media."

Getting Windows Login after Novell

I have been using XP Pro and ZEN 4 for several years with a Dynamic User
Policy so ZEN creates and manages the local XP accounts (non-volatile).
This have always works prefectly. Now all of a sudden I am having many
computers on campus prompting for a windows login after the user logins to
the Novell client.
I have not changed client version (4.90), have not done any changes or
Service packs to my Netware servers. Have not done anything to change the
configuration on the XP clients.
There is one big thing that happened about a week ago (probably about the
time this started poping up) the server with our Master Replica has a
massive hardware failure and I had to promote a Read/Write replica to
Master and remove the crashed server from Tree. This seemed to go fine,
not errors, NDS "seems" happy.
If a user reboots computer 2,3 or 4 times it eventually will let them in
without the Windows login. It is like the policy is not getting read all
the time.
Any advice or ideas would be so greatly appreciated!!!! I am one person
managing the entire school and a problem like this really consumes me.
Thanks! Pete
