netusergetinfo is returning 2221 error code for valid user . What is the reason? It is because of some security setting on active directory but I am not aware of it.
Probably you have the same problem as described here Get current user's last logon.
One possible reason is that you don't use UNICODE format for the user name.
Another problem is if you try to ask the name of domain user. In this case you should use not a form
nStatus = NetUserGetInfo (NULL, L"Domain\\TestUser", dwLevel, (LPBYTE *) & pBuf);
but use as the first parameter the name of a domain controller from a domain which has trust to domain "Domain". You can use DsGetDcName or NetGetAnyDCName or NetGetDCName to get this name.
To answer on your question exactly you should post the corresponding source code and describe shortly your domain environment and the role of the computer and the current user under which current process are running.
API: NetUserSetInfo / netusergetinfo
Error Code: 2221
Reason: The Username you are trying to update is not present in the system.

Hi all Watson Developers!
I have a question, exposing that I need to know a bit more about context variables!
A user enters "Who owns the boat DUO ?" and my Dialog then uses the Intent "#owner_of_boatname" That works!
I then want to store the boatname in a variable $boatname, to pass it on to my webhook, as the value "$boatname".
If I create an entity with a list containing all possible boatnames, then it works, but what if I do not have all boatnames, and just want to pick up the $boatname from the user, and pass in on to the weebhook ? How do I fill out the handler then ?
I've tried to just put in "DUO" as value to my webhook, and that works fine, so the webhook itself works - I just need to be able to transfer variables to it!
How ?
Thanks a lot

The ideal solution for this question should use A.I model created in Watson Knowledge Studio to identify names in user's text and deploy it to Natural Language Understanding instance which you would use the extract the name.
However, we can make a simpler solution, we must assume that the name of the boat will always be at the end of user's input and we can use a regular expression on Watson Assistant to extrat the name. You have to create a node before you pass to the webhook just to identify that user will pass the name of the boat, for example:
Assistant: What is the name of your boat?
User: The name of my boat is boatname
The node that return "What is the name of your boat?" should jump to a node and wait to user request and the condition of this node should always be true. When the user says "The name of my boat is boatname" the node with the condition always true should have context variable with the following regex expression in value context area:
"<? input.text.extract('\s\"?(\w+)\"?$',0) ?>"
This regex rule identify the last word of a phrase with double quotes or not.
Once you have extracted the boat's name you can make the node request you webhook.
Here we are using the SpeL language to access the assistant payload to extrat the last word of a phrase. You can find more information about functions on context variables here here.
I'm working with validate_doc_update function. I've heard about userCtx, but simply calling log(userCtx); helps no way: there's no records in the log.
How determine in validation is current user logged or not and maybe perform some checks to verify against user rights (which may be made by simple fields like role:editor in _users database)?
The user context is accessible under req.userCtx.
A common check of the loggedIn-status is if (req.userCtx.name !== null)
The access right roles of a user doc are accessible under req.userCtx.roles. The corresponding settings for a doc can be included hard-coded in the validate_doc_update function or in the doc itself.
I have a User model, for login and registration, its email field is used (everything vanilla from the devise gem).
I want (other) users to be able to e.g. add Users to a team, with the email-address as the identifier.
That is fine when the User is already existing (pseudo #team.users.add(User.find_by(email: other_users_email))) but I am unsure how to handle situations where the user does not yet exist (did not [yet] register).
When a (new) User sets up a new account, for the example above after successfull registration current_user.teams should show up correctly.
I do not want to force these potentially new users to use the system (e.g. using devise_invitable) and bother them with an email.
I followed the path of creating the User when a user with the given email does not yet exist, but then when the user actually tries to setup an account, it fails (email not unique).
Alternatively, I could remodel the TeamMember-part and let it optionally either store an email-adress or the reference to an existing User. Then what I would need is to check for "open" TeamMembers directly after User-Account-creation (so, TeamMembers with the given email). I could also do this on each requst, but that looks too expensive to me. There might be race conditions, but I could live with that (and check for the every-now-in-a-millenia-gap with a cron-job).
Any pointers? I am sure this is not that unusual.
I'd do this:
When a user A adds user B to a team by email, create the object for that user B, but set a flag, something like auto_created_and_inactive: true
When user B signs up on the site, you just have to handle this in your users#create: first, try to find an auto-created record and update it (set a password or whatever; also reset the flag). Or otherwise proceed with the usual route of creating a new record.
I have to admit that I did not yet tried #sergio-tulentsevs approach (implement RegistrationController#create). But to complete what I sketched in my question:
User model can define an after_confirmation method, which is called after ... confirmation! So, if I store every information about a potential user with a reference to his/her email-adress, once he/she registered I can query this information and e.g. complete Team-Memberships.
# app/models/user.rb
def after_confirmation
# (pseudo-code, did not try)
self.teams < TeamMembership.open.where(email: self.email)
end
I am facing a problem with the admin generator and I am unable to get my way around this after 3 hours of brainstorming and exploring.
The error reads as:
500 | Internal Server Error | Doctrine_Record_UnknownPropertyException
Unknown record property / related component "option1" on "Questions"
Looking up the WWW, I got a gist of possible alternatives. None of which seem like the answer. option1, does exist under Questions schema. However, it is option_1 so I am not sure why it says option1. More importantly, opening up BaseQuestions.class.php file, it clearly states:
getOption1() retrieves the value of option_1.
Anybody with any answer on this?
Thanks,
I had just the same problem with a field named address_2. Changing the name of the field in the database to address2 solved the problem. I think that that this is because of the number that confuse the admin generator to translate the name from underscore-separated propriety name to camelCase function name. This issue append only with the admin generator so, if you need to use it you have to change the field name in your DB with option1.
Anyone know how to get a user's short user name, eg. "johnsmith", given their full name, eg. "John Smith"?
Note I'm interested in any user, not the current user, so functions like NSUserName are irrelevant.
Why? I am authenticating a username and password using Authorization Services. This allows people to enter either their short name or their full name, which is nice, but I then need to know who they've actually logged in as (ie. short user name and/or user id).
Nasty hacks like [NSHomeDirectoryForUser(username) lastPathComponent] don't work consistently.
You need to use the Collaboration Framework :).
Link this framework to your project, and then you just need to do the following:
CBIdentity* identity = [CBIdentity identityWithName:#"John Smith" authority:[CBIdentityAuthority localIdentityAuthority]];
NSLog(#"Posix name: %#", [identity posixName]);
And voilà!
EDIT: If you need to find only users that are bound on the network, you need to use +managedIdentityAuthority instead of +localIdentityAuthority.
And if you need to find both local users AND network users, use +defaultIdentityAuthority.
