reason for admin user in AD / ACS 5.2 join

Hello world

I need to know that the AEC must have a user with elevated privileges in order to create and delete users on the announcement, please do not report the reasons given in 5.2 acs manual user this is not enough that the client will provide this type of user.

The question says:
What would be the reason that the software needs to access the ad for a user with these privileges so high?

Thanks for your help!

I recently joined 5.2 boxes with AD and we found that the easiest way was to simply grant the system account full control of the ACS on its own machine object. We did not give him additional rights to other objects of area and there seems to be enough so he can perform the join operation whenever the service is restarted as well as execution of the actions of the authentication.

I hope this helps.

  • Help: VISTA is only in BLACK and WHITE for the admin user

    I went to another user in a game that worked well, but when I logged in this user and back in my usual admin user account, every day the screen is black and white while charging. Everything still functions very well except there is no color - all settings in the control panel and NVIDIA Control Panel suggests that it is the color display. If I connect to another account the color returns. Unfortunately system restore has been disabled for some reason any so that I can't restore to an earlier time. I downloaded and re-installed the latest driver for my graphics (NVIDIA 260 M GTX), but this does not solve the problem.

    Google search suggests some people have had this same problem, but still there are no solutions. Any help much appreciated.

    Hi Krisbell1,

    Try to change the theme and see if it makes a difference.

    1. Open theme settings by clicking the Start button, clicking on Control Panel, appearance and personalization, customization, and then click theme.
    2. Under theme, select the theme you want, and then click OK. Bottom of the form

  • I forgot the password of the admin user for Windows 7

    I changed my password a while but my children damaged my computer and so it's been a few months that I could use it so now I forgot it. I read that I have to use a Windows repair CD, but I have not one of these? My concern is that I have a lot of my sons first pictures and video of his birth on the profile of admin users. If I could get safely ones I have something else on the subject wouldn't like. So is it possible to get to this file before I try and restart/repair? Thanks for any help on this, I feel terrible that I can I have lost these files for everything because I don't remember a stupid password.

    Remove the hard drive from the computer and then ask a member of the family of a friend if you can connect to their machine and copy the data from your drive for them or a flash drive.

    Now, you'll be able to do everything which is necessary to get your computer going again without having to worry about the photos... :-)

    When al is back as it should, you can consider using a backup disk...

  • 802. 1 x EAP - TLS for wired users with ACS 5.5

    Hi all

    We are setting up a new configuration for wired users authentication with 802.1 x (EAP - TLS). ACS 5.5 we use as an authentication server.

    We have added the certificate (internal) CA root and certifcate for ACS signed by CA. Now, we want to check that authentication works or not. I hope that the CA root and identity certifcate also we need to install in laptop computers. But I don't know how to download the certifcates for client machine manually to CA.

    Please suggest on how to get certificates for clients both manually and automatically?

    Thank you

    Vijay

    Hi Vijay,

    for Wired 802.1 x (EAP - TLS) you must have the following certificates:

    Intermediate server on ACS - Root CA, CA certificate,

    The customer - Root CA, intermediate CA, user certificate (in the case of user authentication) or Machine certificae (in the case of authentication of the computer)

    I do not know what third-party certificate you use, if its Microsoft in the House or any other certificate server, you need to download the client certificate to the server itself.

    In the case of Microsoft, there will be a user certificate template. You can select and create user certificate

    This is an old document, but a computer certificate for the user configuration steps, you can see the steps to download the certificate user if his server from Microsoft:

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/secure-access-control...

    In case you use the third serevr certificate, then you must check with them on how to download the certificate of the user

    See you soon

  • ACS 5.1 omitting the first attempt for the user

    Hi all

    I am facing a problem, a strange problem with the ACS. I use 802. 1 x on my network to authenticate users. I found that when I connect my network cable and put my authentication credentials will fail directly. I turn off my connection and will again and apply the same credentials, it works perfectly. I don't know why for the first attempt, it will fail the authentication and it will tell that (24217 host is not in the internal host identity store). You can see the table below showing the first attempt failed, but the second attempt successful for the user (testuser).

  • Looking for Admin settings and preferably the user to install new 8.3 Primavera

    Hi all

    This is my first foray in MOSC (unless I forgot a precedent... )

    Our current P6 8.3 was born of several years of updates/upgrades since the time of P3.  We found the opportunity to meet our preferences user and admin and it made us want to compare our user preference settings and current Admin what would a stock "out of the box" installation  It is my understanding that industry in the Administrator's preferences is the only setting of Admin preference must be entered by an Admin after an upgrade or new installation, so that seems to say that all other parameters some determined in advance by default.  The user guide tells me how to set all the preferences, but does not say what they would be if you did not specify your own settings.

    I searched the Primavera ORACLE support stuff and found a user guide for an earlier version (6.something maybe?) that showed a few pictures of some of the tabs preferences screen, but the current version of the user guide only includes the steps to change the settings.

    Suggestions?

    Thank you

    Doug Bunch

    Well that this article was written as a solution to the different types of corruption in P6, the result will be 'default' for the user, the user preference settings you specify here :

    Update userdata set user_data = null where Field_Name = "pm_settings" and user_id in (select user_id from user where user_name = '');

    Hello

    I just picked up during surgery and allows us to replicate door data of gold. Unfortunately, the password for the user that has been created in the database for the Golden Gate has been lost.

    At the present time, processes are added and I was trying to connect but it fails with name of user and password invalid.

    I want to change it. Do I need to apply this new password anywhere after changing?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Not a lot of consequences, if you have changed the password where you had used.

    1. you must change the password of user goldengate in parameter files where ever you had mentioned, as the extract file etc..,.

    2. If you used the password encrypted, you must re-create the encryption password.

    3. If you used a user Alias id, then you must change this too.

  • Tips for Vista users

    Hi all

    as I see it, these updates so much expected of Moduslink begin finally to flow, so I thought that it is perhaps a good idea to share experiences, I gathered in recent months.

    First of all, I did a LOT of research before Vista was released and decided to do the upgrade for the following reason:

    -Format and clean install not possible: MS changes its licensing policy so that upgrades can be installed since breast the previous installed Windows, which means that all OS reinstalls require XP installation first. Earlier Versions of Windows allowed by using the 'Previous Windows' CD as Validation for the upgrade.

    For this reason (and also not really want to wait until April for Vista), I decided to buy a "System Builder" edition I intend to buy the Home Premium, as this edition would be enough in fact for me, but that the Ultimate of SB edition was only 70 Euros more, I decided to go to Ultimate. Here are the benefits that apply to my case:

    -Ultimate is capable "Multilanguage": my Windows is the German Version and I love being able to "Switch language" when I want to.
    -Full backup PC with Image: I'm not hink I need to talk about the importance THAT is ;-)
    -The 'Ultimate Extras' are indeed pretty cool (no obligation, but 'Nice to have')

    I thought that these reasons for 70 Euros ;-) indeed

    Before installing my Vista, I gathered all the drivers and programs that I needed. I researched if the installed Applications that were pre-installed with XP on my laptop would go with Vista. My laptop (Purchsed 23.12.2006) came up with the following applications preinstalled:

    -MS Office OneNote 2003
    -Intervideo WinDVD 5
    -Sonic Record now

    WinDVD and Sonic are on the drivers CD that I created under XP. OneNote is located on my C: drive (I think C:\Windows\Downloaded programs, but I do not remember).

    Comaptability:

    -Sonic: Doesn't work well with Vista. Since I already have Nero 7, it didn't matter to me. Nero works fine with Vista.
    -WinDVD 5: doesn't work well with Aero. I decided to purchas WinDVD 8 gold for 29 Euros and will not regret!
    -MS OneNote 2003: works well with Vista with 1 annoying side effect; If you are running Vista with a Standard (Non-Admin) user account, you WILL be asked to accept the license agreement EVERY time that you start OneNote. This is because MS records the acceptance of the EULA in the registry (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office), where a Standard user cannot write to. To save the trouble of this just do the following:

    Open Regedit as an administrator and navigate to the key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office and right click on "Desktop", go to "Berechtigungen" and give users full access to the key. After that, all standard users only be asked once to accept the EULA.

    A Note for the drivers of Toshiba:

    The drivers for the Grapich of Nvidia chip, as well as the WLAN Intel 3945ABG chip are exceeded. You can get the most recent driver for WLAN directly from Intel. Because the laptop manufacturers rarely updated their video drivers (which is very BAD for players), I strongly suggest that you visit www.laptopvideo2go.com. These guys make the effort to get the current Nvidia drivers and modify the INF file to be formatted for mobile devices. It's a 'Must Have' for your IE Favorites!

    Reading DVD with Media Player:

    If you suffer from poor quality of playing DVDs (jerky video), then take a look at this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932649/en-us

    I hope that sharing my experiences with Vista so far is able to help some of you to adapt to Vista. Vista is really a great operating system it can work fine on Toshiba laptops!

    Good luck in your endeavours of Vista!

    Scooby1966

    Hi Steven

    Thank you very much for this detailed view and for your time. It's nice to have lots of useful information and also learn more about your experiences with Vista.

    The installed key is the default key and can NEVER be activated. A default key is used by the system if the user chooses not to enter the product at the time of the installation of Windows key. You must change the key on your COA sticker or map of the POA. and then activate that.

  • The admin user doesn't have access to the Standard user account files

    OK, I'm lost.  It's crazy.

    After reading the reasons to do most of your work on/as a Standard user, I created a user account (quite a while) and have been using it since--and perhaps the way I did have this problem.

    If I remember correctly, this is how I did it.  I had a LOT of files under my old ID admin, so I created another Admin account and then replaced by former Admin account is a Standard user account.  I have been connected and makes every slot the user account Standard since then, with Windows poping a request my Admin password whenever he needed.

    Today, I needed to change a tax return of 2013 - and when I reloaded TurboTax last year and needed to get the State program, TurboTax wouldn't, claiming that I need to be logged in as an Admin user (I have not the popup asking my Admin password).

    OK, here's the problem.  When I have users to switch to my Admin account, after the passage, almost all the icons on my desktop disappear AND there are only a couple of files in my files of Documents Libraries\Documents\My.

    Everything to go.  I thought as an Admin user, I had access to everything.  How can I get all this stuff back (the icons on the desktop for example and other user account files, etc.)

    When I was logged in as an Admin user, it seemed that I could share files with other Useers - so I thought, Aha, that's how it works.  So I logged on my Standard user account - but the ability to share my files, etc. did not exist, at least as far as I can tell (that is, cannot find this option anywhere).

    If all goes well there is something simple that miss me that things work so that as an Admin user, I have access to other user accounts where - it is supposed to work, isn't.

    Obviously need help.  Thank you.  Ron in round rock

    In fact, I have nothing - as stated in the above comment, I could see all my files and folders User\ron

    -> This either means that the folder is already shared, or that UAC (User Account Control) is disabled on your PC. This isn't a good idea because it exposes your computer at serious risk.

    I can edit, delete, running back, I can't (or maybe since I am the only user on this machine, I should leave him alone).  Just curious as to what I did exactly.

    -> If you have shared with read/write access, you can create/edit/delete the files.

    And finally, as an Admin user, I have only 4 icons in the taskbar (IE, Chrome, Windows Media Player and Windows Explorer) - that doesn't sound right.

    -> You'll get exactly icons you placed here while it is logged on as admin user.

    And really Finally, with regard to the disappearance of all the icons on my desktop when logged in as Admin user.

    Each user has his own profile. Inside the profile, there is the user's desktop. Desktop shortcuts that are visible while connected as user A are not visible when you are logged on as user B because each user has his own office!

    There is one exception: most applications require at installation time if their shortcuts must be visible by all users. If you answer 'Yes', then the shortcuts will go into this common folder: C:\Users\Public\Desktop.
