Windows user groups with # character ok?

I wanted to know if a windows user group is used in SQL server 2008R2 which contains a naming convemtion that includes the # character would operate ok within BizTalk databases.
eg. domain\#mg-dd-something
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

But in this context, its the backslash that is the special character. A legal identifier in SQL Server consists of alphanumeric characters + plus the characters _, #, @ and $. Of these $ can never been used initially. @ can only be used initially for variables.
# can be used initially without restrictions except for objects in sys.objecs, where it only can be used for stored procedures and tables and for these have a special meaning. For non-object objects, # can be used freely. Underscore should never been an issue,
as it is commonly used an identifier in many languages.
So this is legal:
create login #nisse@manpower with password ='hult'
Whether you should use it? There is certainly a bigger risk that you run into issues. Not necessarily in SQL Server itself. It could also be with other MS products or third-party software. And not forget people in your organisation who will be confused by
it.

Windows user group for BizTalk contains # characters

I wanted to know if a windows user group is used in BizTalk Server 2013 which contains a naming convention that includes the # character would operate ok in BizTalk and SQL. PLease see the example below:
eg. domain\#mg-dd-BizTalk-SSO-Affiliate-Admins
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Chris,
There are some naming conventions followed while creating the Windows user groups. not a concrete ones..one of them is here.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775802(v=ws.10).aspx
When it comes to BizTalk, if I can recollect, one of our clients had Windows user group with a symbol like yours which did work without any issues. But we suggested them to change the user group's name as this could affect some of our automated scripts like
Powershell/C# programs. For which they agreed and changed their Windows user group to ones without any symbols.
Yes, this would work but might fail for any of your automated maintenance scripts. Note: This experience with my client is with BizTalk 2006 and I have tested the case for latest versions.

How does schedule with RESTful API a Webi report for a group of users ("Schedule For" to "Schedule for specified users and user groups" with one or more users/groups)?

SAB BO 4.1 SP1
Does it have an RESTful API to schedule a Webi report with the parameter to specify a group of users ("Schedule For" to "Schedule for specified users and user groups" with one or more users/groups)?

Hello Ricardo,
have you try a call like this one ?
    <schedule>
      <name>"test"</name>"
      <format type=\"webi\"/>
      <destination>
        <inbox>
         <to>userId1,userId2,userId3,groupId1,groupId12</to>

Windows user file with '

Has anyone had a problem getting creative cloud to work when you have a windows user folder with '&' in it. e.g 'Rob & Mich'?

I do know that ODD characters in file/folder names cause problems for Premiere Pro and Encore, so I would find it "likely" that odd characters would do the same for the Cloud in general

VLAN assignement per user group with WDS

I have configured an EAP-TLS wlan. I have configured the radius server to assign a vlan to the user depending of the user group.
In this way I avoid that an user with a valid certificate that discover another SSID can change the VLAN changing his SSID (so I control what vlan connects every user)
But when I have configured WDS in the wlan it stops to work. Because (I suppose) when the user reauthenticates (not the firt time) the WDS don't ask the radius server (it uses his cache) so it doesn't use the radius configuration and applies the vlan deppending of the user SSID.
How can I resolve this problem?
Thanks

I think that the WDS configuration is not working as intended. Thats the reason the WDS is not caching the credentials and authenticating the user. Under Wireless Services > WDS status tab do you see the the infrastructure devices as Registered. if not check the authentication server for authentication stats. The first thing is that the WDS AP should register the infrasrtructure devices. Only then things will work.

How to only synchronize one specific LDAP user group with SAP?

Hi,
Hopefully this is the correct forum to post this in. I want to have continuous one-way synchronization of users from my LDAP server to my SAP central system. I've started configure in SAP using transaction SM59 and LDAP. Can I somewhere set that only one specific LDAP user group shall be transferred to SAP (they do not need to be assigned to any specific group, profile, role in SAP) - or should this be done on the LDAP server side (or is it at all possible)?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the User Group field in the report RSLDAPSYNC_USER only concerns SAP user groups right? This would therefore not be sufficient since I want to select the users to synchronize based on user groups in the directory.
Thanks, Oscar

We've used a repository constant to specify the LDAP filter for reading users / groups from the LDAP target.
E.g. LDAP_FILTER_USERS (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user))
Then we also have a constant for the LDAP_STARTING_POINT
For our AD Group Initial Load we filter according to these settings:
LDAP_FILTER_GROUPS = (objectclass=group)
LDAP_STARTING_POINT_GROUPS = ou=IDMManagedGroups,ou=Groups,dc=cfstest,dc=le,dc=ac,dc=uk
The above example only reads AD groups starting at the specified OU
Then in a Job From LDAP Pass the LDAP URL looks like this:
LDAP://%$rep.LDAP_HOST%:%$rep.LDAP_PORT%/%$rep.LDAP_STARTING_POINT_GROUPS%?*?SUB?%$rep.LDAP_FILTER_GROUPS%
I hope this helps

User name with character . (dot)

Hi Experts,
In tcode SU01 we can create a user name that contains character . (dot), but is it recommended by SAP?
Thanks,
kathy

Hi,
The special character . (dot) can be used in the login Id as long as it meets the security policy for login Id's.
Please read the following for configuring security policy for login id:

Problems with user group

Hi, i created a new user group with some administrative rights:
Access Administration
Advanced Document Submission
Create Communities
Create Community Infrastructure
Create Folders
Create Portlets
Edit Own Profile
Then, i created a user and added to this group.
When i login with the user i created, the Administration Tab doesn't appear.
Somebody can help me please.
IT'S URGENT !!!!
Thanks

I thought access administration was all that was required. Did you get it resolved. Usually these things clear themselves up with time.

Work with a table in different schema depending on the user group

I have 2 groups of users user_group1, user_group2 and also two different schemas schema_group1,schema_group2 containing the same table names with a different content.
Now, i have to write a stored procedure which takes user name as input and depending on which group the user belongs to, i want to work with table in that user_group schema. i.e.(if user_group1 then "schema_group1"."table". if user_group2 then "schema_group2"."table" )
i tried to set schema using dynamic sql but it seems that the schema is changing only after the end of the stored procedure.

yes, i do maintain a table to map user groups with schema name.
i have two tables:
table-1: USERS(user_name, group_name)
table-2: GET_SCHEMA(group_name, schema_name)
// Just to make it simple(for testing purpose), i am directly assigning the schema_name inside the stored procedure.
CREATE PROCEDURE "TEJA"."RETURN_SCHEMA_OF_USER" (IN IN_USER_NAME VARCHAR(30))
LANGUAGE SQLSCRIPT
AS
BEGIN
     DECLARE VAR_USER_GROUP VARCHAR(20);
     --DECLARE VAR_SCHEMA_NAME VARCHAR(20);
     DECLARE SCHEMA_NAME VARCHAR(20);
     DECLARE SQL_STATEMENT VARCHAR(200);
     DECLARE VAR_TEMP VARCHAR(200);
     SELECT USER_GROUP INTO VAR_USER_GROUP FROM "TEJA"."USERS" WHERE USER_NAME =      IN_USER_NAME;
     --SELECT VAR_USER_GROUP AS USER_GRP FROM DUMMY;
     -- SELECT GROUP_NAME INTO VAR_SCHEMA_NAME FROM GET_SCHEMA WHERE GROUP_NAME =      VAR_USER_GROUP;
     -- Instead of above statement, i am directly assigning the schema_name below
     IF VAR_USER_GROUP = 'UNION' THEN
            SCHEMA_NAME := 'USER_UNION';
     ELSE
            SCHEMA_NAME := 'USER_CORPORATE';
     END IF;
     SQL_STATEMENT := 'SELECT * FROM "'||:SCHEMA_NAME||'"."USER_DETAILS"';
     --I have USER_DETAILS table in both the schemas.
     --SQL_STATEMENT := 'SET SCHEMA ' || :SCHEMA_NAME || ' ';
     --sets the schema after the stored procedure is executed.
     EXECUTE IMMEDIATE SQL_STATEMENT;
END;
This dynamic sql statement does the job for me, but i don't want to use dynamic sql in all my stored procedures. I need this kind of functionality in almost all of my stored procedures. So, i am looking for a better approach. I really appreciate your valuable inputs.
Thank you

Built-In Users-group is suddenly gone on folder security tab.

Dear forum-members,
I have got a problem with folder-permissions (acl) on a Windows 2003 Server with Terminal Services (Citrix).
The application "Sybase" is installed on the D-drive (disk). A thrid party application needs Sybase to communicate through the sql.ini with the database. All terminal server users needs read permissions on the Sybase install directory to
use the sql.ini.
Normally every new folder on a server has the Builtin Administrators-group and System account "Full-Control" permissions and the Builtin Users-group had "Read en List" permissions. Now on the Sybase folder only the Builtin Administrators-group
en System account are at the security tab, but
not the Builtin Users-group.
When I manually set the Builtin Users-group with read permissions it okay, but after a while the Builtin Users-group is gone/deleted/removed. There is no signal that a person, proces or action removes the permissions for the Builtin Users-group. I set
Auditing on the folder, but with no result. I know for sure there is no GPO (Group Policy) that removes this group.
For now I have a dirty solution to run a scheduled task every 10 minutes that run xcalcs to set the permissions. A tried a GPO to set the permissions, after a reboot the group policy doesn't apply (only after a gpupdate /force).
Does some one of you has another proper/nice solution to force the read permissions on the Sybase folder for the Builtin Users-group?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings, Sidney

Hi Shaon,
Thank you for your reply.
The 'third party app' is APP-V sequenced and not in production yet, so only some test users are using the app.
I did a test today to use Domain Users instead of Builtin Users, but the same problem. After a reboot only the Builtin Administrators and SYSTEM has permission on the Sybase installation folder and Domain Users (& Builtin Users) were automatically
removed again.
We have 6 terminal (citrix) servers and all of them has the same problem, so it's not server related.
Could it be an issue with the way how Sybase is packaged (it's a silence install through our deployment application)?
Before I do the next test: Will it help to force the rights (replace permissons) from the upper folder to the sub-folder(s)? (force the inheritance)
Greetings, Sidney

Forms security - "Not Available" user / group

Hi,
In form security I have a user / group with the name "Not Available". I don't know how it got there and I can't remove it (An error occurred while processing this page. Check the log for details.) I have very restricted access so I can't run tomcat in window mode to check the log.
Any tips to remove this users? (Planning 9.2)
Regards

I have found whats causing this problem. When I use the deprovisioning option in HSS on this users they become "Not Available" in the Assign Access option of the form. Why, I don't know. I thought they would be automaticaly removed. The planning database was copied from development environment to production environment while the Planning service was stopped and then started after database copy, after that do I have to make any kind of registration?

HELP - Modify user group by bulk un CUCM 8.6

Hi guys,
I am having problem by update/modify user group on CUCM.
There are already some users within user group with admin privileges. That should be changed, so I created a group with some privileges and then I tried to change the usergroup by bulk. but the bulk ADDS the usergroup to the correct and maintain both.
After that I decided to have 2 rows, for the same user, one for the group with empty space (to delete it), and another with the new usergroup. But CUCM does not either do that. it sills maintain the user group..
Does anyone has successfully changed the user group by bulk?

SAP Query, user groups, revoking 'change' rights

Hi,
I have a problem regarding SAP Queries and revoking the change rights. This is what I have done:
1. Created the new user group in SQ03
2. Created the new InfoSet (SQ02), assigned it to the above UG (SQ03)
3. Created the new user, assigned it to the UG in SQ03 and removed the Change checkbox (revoke change rights)
4. Logged on as the new user
5. Started SQ01, switched user group to the new one
6. Created the new SAP query based on the new InfoSet, run the query
As I understand the principles of user groups and queries, I wasn't supposed to be allowed to do the step 6 as the new user, as it was revoked the change rights. Why wasn't I stopped?
I searched for reply in previous posts - everybody agrees on principles, but I didn't find explanation on why it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance!
KR,
Igor

The table AQGDBBN seems to display a mapping of User Group with use rindeed but the results are less than the actual assignment. And the mapping does not have the Z query usergroups that have users assigned in SQ03.
Anything that I may be missing?
Thanks,

Nested AD User Groups in Workgroup Manager not working in Mavericks

The setup is the traditional Golden Triangle, so Active Directory for users and groups, Open Directory for Managed Preferences. Both Apple clients and server are running 10.9.0
While I can successfully manage the Mac's via OD computer groups, the OD user groups with nested AD groups no longer appear to work. If I nest an AD user it works fine, but not the AD users group.
This is a new AD and new OD, no migrations. This is a setup I've done countless times over the years, but since Mavericks has been introduced, I can no longer make this work.
Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
Thanks,
Alex Price

Hello
I have been having the same problem, when adding an AD Group to an OD group the users in the AD group are not managed, but if i add the user to the OD group it works fine, (with about 5000 active users this is not an option) this has been a problem with 10.9 and has not been fixed with 10.9.1, i assume we need a update to Workgroup manager?
Maverick server is useless at the moment, cant upgrade the clients to Maverick if i cant manage them, are Apple just tring to make my job more difficult than it needs to be, i was happy that they provided Workgroup Manager for Mavericks because Profile Manager is simple not an option, but it would be good if it worked properly, its not a small problem so you would think apple would make it a priority.
