I have to use this software and I need to store password, because it disconnects regularly. How can I do that, there is no checkbox to save password.
Thanx a lot!
If you are an administrator (or can convince your admin to do this), you can create a group, put yourself in it, then edit the group permissions to prevent your session from ever timing out.
In P4V group management is done via Tools->Administration->Permissions tab->Groups tab
Set the "Duration before login session times out" to "unlimited".
You can also do it from the command line:
p4 group <group name>
When the group specification opens in a text editor, set the PasswordTimeout: property to unlimited.

I have an Azure VM Windows 10 that is set to automatically launch and automatically shutdown on a specific schedule. This works fine, but as an aside was painfully hard to set up.
The VM is set to run tasks on a schedule through Windows Task Scheduler, however it appears that the user actually needs to be logged in for some of these tasks to run. Other solutions attempted to run the tasks whether the user is logged in or not do not work (for various reasons).
So, I would like to automatically login to the VM with my account each time the VM loads up. Is this possible and if so, how do you set this up?
Thanks!
Auto admin logon to the VM during start-up can be done by changing couple of registry setting. Refer to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/324737/how-to-turn-on-automatic-logon-in-windows:
To use Registry Editor to turn on automatic logon, follow these steps:
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type Regedit.exe, and then press Enter.
Locate the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon subkey in the registry.
Double-click the DefaultUserName entry, type your user name, and
then click OK.
Double-click the DefaultPassword entry, type your password, and then
click OK.
If the DefaultPassword value does not exist, it must be added. To
add the value, follow these steps:
-On the Edit menu, click New, and then point to String Value.
-Type DefaultPassword, and then press Enter.
-Double-click DefaultPassword.
-In the Edit String dialog, type your password and then click OK.
On the Edit menu, click New, and then point to String Value.
Type AutoAdminLogon, and then press Enter.
Double-click AutoAdminLogon.
In the Edit String dialog box, type 1 and then click OK.
If you have joined the computer to a domain, you should add the
DefaultDomainName value, and the data for the value should be set
as the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain, for
example contoso.com..
Exit Registry Editor.
Click Start, click Shutdown, and then type a reason in the Comment
text box.
Click OK to turn off your computer.
Restart your computer. You can now log on automatically.
This is a downloadable solution called Autologon provided by Microsoft that I found and implemented. It works just fine.
The details and download are available via this link:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autologon
Autologon enables you to easily configure Windows’ built-in autologon mechanism. Instead of waiting for a user to enter their name and password, Windows uses the credentials you enter with Autologon, which are encrypted in the Registry, to log on the specified user automatically.
[!WARNING] Although the password is encrypted in the registry as an LSA secret, a user with administrative rights can easily retrieve and decrypt it. (For more information see Protecting the Automatic Logon Password )
Autologon is easy enough to use. Just run autologon.exe, fill in the dialog, and hit Enable. The next time the system starts, Windows will try to use the entered credentials to log on the user at the console. Note that Autologon does not verify the submitted credentials, nor does it verify that the specified user account is allowed to log on to the computer.
To turn off auto-logon, hit Disable. Also, if the shift key is held down before the system performs an autologon, the autologon will be disabled for that logon. You can also pass the username, domain and password as command-line arguments:
autologon user domain password
Note: When Exchange Activesync password restrictions are in place, Windows will not process the autologon configuration.
Currently i generated excel file from TFS 2013.
I want to disable editing this file for some specific users.
I tried to add these users in the group Reader only, but they can modify the excel file then publish it.
On the other side, i want to give them the ability to refresh the excel file and get the latest status.
By "publish" I assume you mean the Check In permission. Readers don't have an explicit Deny on Check In by default, so you may find that people who can still Check In are members of another group with permissions. The usual group being the Contributors group.
To force the matter you can go to the file in question in Source Control Explorer, right click it and select Advanced -> Security and then explicitly set the Reader group to Deny for the Check In right.
I assume that you mean "publishing work items". If you do then people in the readers group will not be able to publish unless they also have contributed rights. So while they can click "publish" they will not be able to make changes on TFS, and they will be able to refresh.
In my company our user names are non-descriptive (eg. g12345), so in order for the author to be quickly recognized, we start each commit message by including our name.
I do not think the feature exists, but if it were possible to display an alternate name for the author manually typing it would become unnecessary.
I don't think SVN or TortoiseSVN have this capability if you mean your SVN user names.
If you are using logins as user names then you might configure SVN to use different user names as described in this question: In Subversion can I be a user other than my login name?
I have recently switched to Coda 2 on Mac (OSX 10.8.2) and under site definitions the host, username and all other information save fine. It will not, however save my passwords. I DO NOT have "ask each time" checked (preemptive answer). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Found a solution for this. If you open up Keychain Access, find the key that is named after your site so for example ftp.sitename.com. Double click it and go to access. Make it so that any program can use it. Then if you go back to Coda, enter the password once and d/c. It should be saved when you re-open the program :)
Great! But the only thing is missing, that you didn't mention how or from where to open KeyChain access. I used mac spotlight to find it.
Actual location to open Keychain access: under Applications > Utility > KeychainAccess
Just select the ftp.yourwebsiteurl.com
Doubleclick on it
There will be two tabs. Click on AccessControl tab
Select the radio button option : Allow all applications to access this item.
It will ask your system admin password to allow.
Go back to Coda > right click on your website > click Disconnect
Now reenter your password > Connect.
That's it. Your password will be remembered for further connections.
Coda 2.x has built in FTP, git, SSH, and more.
Coda's way of dealing with FTP is to have you set up your files as a "Site"
Once you set it up this way, it saves FTP logins, git logins, ssh logins, etc for all aspects of that site.
Do this:
Open Coda - Coda should automatically open at the 'sites' page. If not, press Command-1 to go to sites.
Right-click, and select 'add site'.
Fill out the details for the site, and save.
Whenever you open that site, Coda will automatically connect to the server.
It's pretty easy to walk thru the dialog options.
I'm trying to find what is the permission security for allowing visibility of the Alias function in the Presentation tab ribbon.
For the user in question i've browsed to the core database, and under Access viewer, i'm looking that all the items under Applications/Content Editor have read-enabled permissions, specifically the item /sitecore/content/Applications/Content Editor/Ribbons/Strips/Presentation/Page Urls as well as /sitecore/content/Applications/Content Editor/Ribbons/Chunks/Page Urls are read-enabled
However, when login as this user there is no presentation tab.
I've tried resetting the cache and still nothing changes. I'm using sitecore 6.5.0
I think you are almost there, but you still need to give the user sufficient access to the /sitecore/system/Aliases item.
Create a new role(or use an existent one), for example sitecore\Sitecore Client Aliases. Use this role to add the following permissions.
Switch to the Core database and allow Read permission for the /sitecore/content/Applications/Content Editor/Ribbons/Chunks/Page Urls item and its descendants
Switch to the Master database and unprotect the /sitecore/system/Aliases item by using the Unprotect Item checkbox in the Configuration tab.
Allow Read, Write, Create permissions for the /sitecore/system/Aliases item and Read, Write, Create, Delete permissions for its descendants.
Protect the /sitecore/system/Aliases item back.
Add user to the sitecore\Sitecore Client Aliases role.
Found here: http://wiki.evident.nl/Sitecore%20alias%20role.ashx
The easiest way to enable the presentation tab is to use a sitecore standard role.
I'm not totaly sure but i asume it was sitecore\Sitecore Client Designing.
And as far as i know you have to use those standard roles to enable access to certain chunks.
Try using the Access Viewer for the user which doesn't see the Alias Tab. You can manually switch to the core database and then click on the different tabs with the specified user / role to see what causes this behavior. Most of the times you will find out that some role / restriction was set to a higher level item dat denies read rights.
