Security role to user/group mapping does not save changes - websphere

I'm trying to edit the "Security role to user/group mapping" in WebSphere 8.0. I want to set the Role 'User' to be 'All authenticated in application realm' but there is no save button. So when I reload the page where you can edit this, it's the same as before. Am I doing something wrong?

This issue is very common if you deploy your application directly from Eclipse/RAD to WebSphere.
In the Servers view, double click your WebSphere server and in Publishing settings uncheck the Minimize application files copied to the server option.
Restart the server and reinstall application. The OK button will be there. :-)
Here are some more details No confirmation when saving Shared Libraries within WebSphere Test Environment. Although it says about Shared Libraries and WAS v7, same applies to v8 and role mapping.

Please check that the admin console user is authorized to make changes to the application? Are you logged in to admin console as Administrator? You should see option to click on "OK". When you click "OK", you will have an option to save the configuration.

Dynamics 365 Plugin Registration Tool gives permission error

When I try to connect to Dynamics 365 CRM with the Plugin Registration Tool I get the following permission error:
"You don't have permission to access any of the organizations in the
Microsoft Common Data Service region that you specified. If you're not
sure which region your organization resides in, choose "Don't know"
for the CDS region and try again. Otherwise check with your CDS
administrator. Parameter name: EMEA"
I have the System Administrator role
I can sign-in to the web interface and work with no issues
I'm sure of our region, tried to login with and without it ("Don't know" option)
Also tried with an application password as our organization uses multi factor authentication
Using the latest version of the tool on Nuget (9.0.0.9506 in the about dialog)
I can connect to my trial server the same way
We had a user who was able to connect with the same user roles set
This seems machine and account independent. Other users including the organization creator are getting the same error
We are directly connected to the internet, no proxies
One solution I've read suggested cleaning the cache files which don't appear on my system. And we get the same error on clean installations.
Solved by leaving the "Show Advanced" checkbox unchecked and not entering User ID / Password. Then a second dialog opens for credentials and 2FA authentication which just works.
You don't need an application password, as you'll be asked for MFA in the next step.
I don't know how our old teammate was able to sign in with the "Show Advanced" option selected. He was getting the same dialog and continue.

Dynamics 365 CRM Portals. Rich-text editor missing

I work with Dynamics 365 Portals.
The rich-text editor is missing, how do I get it back?
I (my user) have all four webroles, including administrator. I am logged in. I have tried to clearing all cashes and reboot the portal itself. My coleagues are also unable to see it. Nothing works.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Few things to check.
There should only be a single Authenticated web role and a single Anonymous web role. You don't need to assign these web roles to your user, they are applied automatically by context.
Check you have a web page access control rule setup to grant change, that is linked to your Administrator web role.
Make sure you clear the server side cache.
Sorry, I do not have enough reputations to comment.
I am assuming that you don't see the front side editing tools.
9 out of 10 times, this is typically to do with the cache not clearing properly. Could you changing something on the webpage and check if the cache is clearing properly and the newest webpage content is surfacing on the portal?
Also, by default, the "Administrator" web role is associated with the appropriate "Website Access Permission" to provide you with the front side editing capability. If for some reason, the Website Access Permission is not associated with the Administrator web role, even if you belong to the Administrator web role, front side editing capability will not work.

Changing system proxy with authorizing once and for all

I'm trying to change the system proxy settings with authentication. The system proxy can be changed successfully, but when my App relaunched, the auhorizating dialog(requiring username and password) always pop up.
How can I authorize once and for all?
I have a demo App with source codes on GitHub: https://github.com/codinn/SystemProxySettingsDemo
details:
Demo App description
A demo for changing system proxy settings.
Problem
After click “Enable System Proxy”, a dialog for requesting auhorization will be popped up, and subsequent clicks won't popup again, which is fine.
But if we Quit and Relaunch the app, the auhorizating dialog will be popped up again.
How can we authorize once and for all?
Steps to Reproduce
Launch demo app “SystemProxySettingsDemo”
Click “Enable System Proxy” button, the auhorizating dialog will be popped up
The SOCKS proxy setting in system network preferences will be changed to host: 127.0.0.1, port: 8888
Click “Disable System Proxy” button to clear system network preferences proxy
Quit the app, and launch it again
Click “Enable System Proxy” button, the auhorizating dialog will be popped up, again

Apple official sample: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/samplecode/EvenBetterAuthorizationSample/Introduction/Intro.html
File “ViewController.swift”: Creating an authorization reference, Requesting Authorization, System Network Preferences Proxy settings.
Function define:
// requesting authorization with “AuthorizationCopyRights”
// set system network preferences proxy with “SCPreferencesCreateWithAuthorization” and “SCPreferencesPathSetValue”
func socksProxySet(enabled: Bool)`
4. File “CommonAuthorization.swift”: set / get authorization policy database entries
5. File “codinnDemoRightRemove.sh”: clear policy database entries belongs to demo app
Other Notes:
I've tried storing the Authorization Rights to the policy database with “AuthorizationRightSet” (setting policy database rule attribute “timeout” as 0, or 3600, or remove the attribute “timeout”), but it does not work
Also tried using "kAuthorizationRuleClassAllow" or "kAuthorizationRuleAuthenticateAsAdmin" as value for parameter "rightDefinition" of function "AuthorizationRightSet", but it does not work either
The best way to maintain a persistent authorisation to change these settings is to create a launchd daemon that runs as root. Such a daemon can change System Configuration preferences at any time without further authorisation.

Sharepoint 2010 local - login

I am trying to setup a local Sharepoint Server 2010 for testing purposes. I have never worked wih SP before, but it is per request from a client. And I am a strong fan of "learning-by-doing".
Everything is setup fine but when I try to access the Central Administration site it keeps asking me for user and password and I have no idea what that is. Is there something I am missing somewhere or forgot to set up. I have enable anonymous login in the IIS settings but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
I am logged in with my standard Windows user "Morten".
are you using Domail Controller Active directory user to login ?
IF yes then check that your PC is available in Domain Controller
also check ,
Go to IIS > Your SIte > Right click on your site and go to advanced settings > Check for the Idenetiy under Process Model Section .
It should same as your login.
Let me know the outcome

Azure MVC 3 Project - What is the default Admin account password

I have just created a new project in VS2010 using the
Visual c# > Cloud > Windows Azure Project
template.
When I run it I would like to log in using the Admin account which I know exists in the secMembership table.
I assume there is a password published, but I can't find a reference to it anywhere. Am I missing some documentation somewhere or am I not concerned with this account?
Thanks
Are you talking about the Winodws 8 Toolkit? If so, try:
User Name: admin
Password: Passw0rd! (with a zero)
Otherwise the password may be just: password
If those don't work, try clicking on the ASP.NET Configuration button at the top of the solution explorer and click on the security tab. You should be able to create a new user or at least see if there is an admin account already. Chances are there isn't one yet.
