Hi, I have been tasked with the job of creating a web based system to add system users to our Ubuntu linux server. I have been reading up online, and there seems to be a fair few different ways to go about doing it, none of which really have examples. I understand the best way for me to do it would be to temporary give sudo to the apac...
I have custom UserInfo and UserAuthorization objects in my app, which determine what is displayed and what actions a user can perform on each page. At the moment this information needs to be retreived for every request to the server. Would it be possible/sensible to cache this information somehow? Can anyone suggest some good google sear...
I am trying to get the current's user last logon. I might be this current session or it might be one before that. I am calling GetUserName() to get the current username. I feed that into NetUserGetInfo() to try to get the last logon time. All this fails with error 2221 (user not found). When I tried with "administrator" it works. Even wh...

hey all, so i've scrapped all the crappy tutorials that have never worked for one reason or another, and decided to roll out my own registration/login feature on my own, and to my surprise it actually works! But what i don't get is how the logic behind keeping somebody logged in works! Like, once they've logged in, do i just $_POST the...

I am trying to write code for a site for my consulting practice. I know how to have a database and how to manage users on the site. But now I want to charge users for custom features they want me to build from ground up. (e.g they want an option to upload pictures or ability to get certain reports via 3rd party API, which for purposes...
I am using the active record store to keep sessions in the database. Is there anyway to get the user_id from the session stored in the database? In my application im adding the user_id to a session when a user logs in using session[:user_id] = @user.id. Does doing this also update the session in the database with :user_id?. Thanks for an...
I'm trying to decide which is better: is a user inactive (can't login) or active (can login)? Do you have a flag which makes a user inactive so they can't login or do you have a flag which makes a user active so they can login? Which one makes more sense to the user and administrator? Which one do you do? Yes as Peter commented: Do y...
I'm filtering a big number of users based on attributes. For example, they can be filtered by minimum gpa. So far I've been doing the following to construct my queryset- ('gpa_gt' just means that the gpa property has to be greater than whatever is the query param) if len(request.GET) != 0: kwargs = {} if request.GE...
Howdy, I'm using the admin site in django. By default there are the user and group models. I enabled to select the groups when creating a new user and I now want to filter the set of assignable groups depending on the current user. E.g. if the user is a superuser he is able to assign all groups. If he's within a subgroup, he can only as...
I'm trying to figure out how to solve the privilege acquisition. The application requires a desktop access, so it cannot be executed as a Windows service: it have to create a window for receiving message sent by other processes using SendMessage (it must be used for waiting message acknowledge). The application shall be started when an...
Hi, I've created an application that loads data in from XML files locally, and with these files it finds images, videos, and EXE's that the player can run from dynamically created buttons. When loading files and images and running EXE's, I try/catch all over the place as to not crash. However, today a user crashed the program by trying...
I am trying to write a utility to find/delete specific users and groups from a SharePoint site collection. At this point I'm using the SiteUsers property of the SPWeb class to do the job, but I'm wondering: why isn't there a similar property in the SPSite class? This seems completely counter-intuitive to me (though at this point nothing ...

Hi Friends, As we know, Liferay has the inbuilt functionality for creating users. But i want to have an workflow for creating users which involves approval process. I mean, user will be created by admin but it should be approved by another authorized person, then only the user account will be active. Is there any way to customize the u...
So I know there have been a couple of posts around about this topic, but I don't think they've quite got to the bottom of it! So my problem is that when I create a new work item in TFS, the users which I can assign it to include NT Authority\Local Service (which is also the TFS service account). I'm not asking why, as I know that this f...
