Good morning. New to powershell but have an interesting one which I am hoping someone can help with. I am writing a script to pull daily stats out of our AD for a monitoring dashboard. But come up against something which is bugging me.
get-adgroup -Filter * -Properties Members -SearchBase "OU=example,DC=Example,DC=net"
This returns the only group in the OU. However I am trying to count the number of groups. So amended the statement to:
( get-adgroup -Filter * -Properties Members -SearchBase "OU=example,DC=Example,DC=net" ).Count
This returns a null value. Not even a 0 but a null value. As my script is collecting stats on other objects I checked this morning and I am seeing a similar issues on a couple of user object OU's and get-aduser.
I have checked so far that the object doesnt have any weird security on it and it is not a protected object in the AD. I have tried with a standard user account, admin account and a domain admin account and none of them can return the value of 1. I am guessing this is more an AD Object issue but hoping someone has seen something similar in the past.

I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to get the action log of the instance using openstacksdk, novaclient. And while getting the action log, I also want to get the flavor attached to it. See the attached picture please.
I actually got the action log using this novaclient module:
novaclient.v2.instance_action.InstanceAction
but it shows me very little details and without the flavor id that I needed. The following fields it shows me are the following:
action, instance_uuid, message, project_id, request_id, start_time and user_id
I hope anyone can tell me how to get it.
I don't think it is possible to get the flavor id from the action list / server event list.
Openstack does not keep a database record of what each request did, or a historic record of the instance states. So you would need to resort to trawling the logs for the request-id ... which is OK for forensics, but does not scale. (And I don't know if the flavor is in the log messages.)
Of course, you could use the APIs (novaclient, openstacksdk) to get the current flavor for the instance, given its instance id. But that isn't exactly what you want.
It is possible record historical information using Gnochi + Ceilometer or similar, but you would need to have set this up already.
I'm trying to find inactive members in my GitLab-CE instance via the Gitlab API (v4).
One of the criteria for "(in)activity" is, whether a given user is member of any project or group.
While this information seems to be readily available via the webinterface (Groups and projects tab on the user's overview page in the admin area), I cannot find that information via the API.
The only way i currently found is, to iterate over all projects (resp. groups) and check whether the user is member thereof.
This strikes me as very slow (as there are probably zillions of projects), so I'm looking for a more direct way to query the system for all projects where user is member-of.
As in doc(https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/api/members.html), you can use:
GET /groups/:id/members
GET /projects/:id/members
to get only members added directly in a group/project
or:
GET /groups/:id/members/all
GET /projects/:id/members/all
to get all members (even those inherit from groups above)
---EDIT regards to #Nico question ---
In order to know if a user is a member of a project the solution tested by #umläute is to iterate over project members then all subgroup untill it reaches the user:
Given \fu\bar\project_p
With project_p.id = 1
bar.id = 10
fu.id = 100
Is user 'Nico' a member of project_p ?
GET /projects/1/members returns ('Paul') / No
GET /groups/10/members returns ('Marc', 'Jean') / No
GET /groups/100/members returns ('Nico') / Yes
Instead Gitlab provide an other API :
GET /projects/1/members/all returns ('Paul', 'Marc', 'Jean', 'Nico') / Yes
I want to have the same WordPress users in two different databases
For example, if a user registers on SiteA, then he can login to SiteB. And reverse.
Also i want create same cookie for both after login.
mywebsite.com/ (SiteA_DB)
mywebsite.com/blog/ (SiteB_DB)
I've never done this before and maybe Wordpress has hooks to archive this, but I prefer using mysql for such a trick.
You could try ..
.. using 'federated storage' ( https://stackoverflow.com/a/24532395/10362812 )This is my favorite, because you don't even have to share a database or even the mysql serverThe downside is, that it doesn't work with db cache and uses an additional connection.
.. creating a 'view' ( https://stackoverflow.com/a/1890165/10362812 )This should be possible when using the database-name in the query itself and it would be the simplest solution if it works. Downside: The 2 tables have to share the same mysql-server and have to be assigned to the same user as far as I know.
-- **Backup your database before trying!** --
DROP TABLE `second_database`.`wp_users`;
DROP TABLE `second_database`.`wp_usermeta`;
CREATE VIEW `second_database`.`wp_users` AS SELECT * FROM `first_database`.`wp_users`;
CREATE VIEW `second_database`.`wp_usermeta` AS SELECT * FROM `first_database`.`wp_usermeta`;
This should work, according to: Creating view across different databases
.. creating a 'shadow copy' ( https://stackoverflow.com/a/1890166/10362812 )Works with caching and is a standalone tableDownsides as 2. solution + a bit of setup and I think it might be the worst option in performance
This were answers to this question: How do I create a table alias in MySQL
I merged them together for you and made them fit your use-case.
Please also notice, that solution 1 and 2 will replace your current user-tables auf "second_database" because you write directly into "first_database" when querying the fed. storage or the view. This can lead to problems with user-role plugins. You should take care of syncing the plugin-options too, if you should use one of them and in case it uses different tables or 'wp_options' values.
Let me know if this works, I have to do a similar task next week. While researching I found the linked answers.
EDIT: I was missing the point of "cookie-sharing" in my answer. Your example shows a blog on the same domain - you should be able to change the way wordpress sets its cookies to be domain-wide. What I did once for 2 different domains was, that I hooked into the backend (is_admin) and added a javascript which did a post-request to siteB, receiving a token which is stored but marked as 'invalid' on siteB. This token then was passed back to my plugin on siteA which checked if the user is logged_in and (in my case) have adminrights (current_user_can()) and if so, it was sending this token back to sideB which was marking this token as valid to login. (Make sure only sideA can tell sideB to make this token valid!) Once a user is seen with this token in a cookie on siteB, the user is logged-in automatically in the background. Also I made this bidirectional. I am sorry, that I can't share the code for you. I don't have access to it anymore.
Greetings, Eric!
Current Project:
ASP.NET 4.5.2
MVC 5
PayPal API
I am using this example to build myself a PayPal transaction (and yes, my code is virtually identical), as I do not know of any other method that will return the three values in the title.
My main problem is that, the example I am utilizing is much more concise and compact than the one I used for a much older Web Forms application, and as such, I am unsure as to where or even how to grab the three values I need.
My initial thought was to do so right after the ACK, and indeed I was able to obtain the CorrelationId as well as the TimeStamp, but because this was prior to the user being carted off to PayPal’s site (sandbox in this case -- see the return new PayPalRedirect contained within the if), the TransactionId was blank. And in this example, PayPal explicitly redirects the user to a Success page without returning to the Action that sent the user to PayPal in the first place, and I am not seeing any GET values in the URL at all aside from the Token and the PayerId, much less ones that could provide me with the TransactionId.
Suggestions?
I have also looked at the following examples:
For ASP.NET Core, was unsure how to adapt to my current project particularly due to appsettings.json, but it looked quite well done. I really liked how the values were rolled up in lists.
For MVC 4, but I couldn’t find where ACK was being used to determine success or successwithwarning so I couldn’t hook into that.
I have also found the PayPal content to be like trying to drink from a fire hose at full blast -- not only was the content was hopelessly outdated (Web Forms code, FTW!) but there was also so many different examples it would have taken me days to determine which one was most appropriate to use.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: my initial attempt at modifying the linked code has this portion:
values = Submit(values);
var ack = values["ACK"].ToLower();
if(ack == "success" || ack == "successwithwarning") {
using(_db = new ApplicationDbContext()) {
var updateOrder = await _db.Orders.FirstOrDefaultAsync(x => x.OrderId == order.OrderId);
if(updateOrder != null) {
updateOrder.OrderProcessed = false;
updateOrder.PayPalCorrelationId = values["CORRELATIONID"];
updateOrder.PayPalTransactionId = values["TRANSACTIONID"];
updateOrder.PayPalTimeStamp = values["TIMESTAMP"];
updateOrder.IPAddress = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress;
_db.Entry(updateOrder).State = EntityState.Modified;
await _db.SaveChangesAsync();
}
}
return new PayPalRedirect {
Token = values["TOKEN"],
Url = $"https://{PayPalSettings.CgiDomain}/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&token={values["TOKEN"]}"
};
}
Everything within and including the using() is my added content. As I mentioned, the CorrelationId and the TimeStamp come through just fine, but I have yet to successfully obtain the TransactionId.
Edit 2:
More problems -- the transactions that are “successful” through the sandbox site (the ReturnUrl is getting called) aren’t reflecting properly on my Facilitator and Buyer accounts, even when I do payments straight from the buyer’s PayPal account (not using the Credit Card). I know I am supposed to see transactions in the Buyer’s account, either through the overall Dev account (Accounts -> Profile -> balance or Accounts -> Notifications) or through the Buyer’s account in the sandbox front end. And yet -- multiple transactions returning me to the ReturnUrl path, and yet no transactions in either.
Edit 3:
Okay, this is really, really weird. I have gone over all settings with a fine-toothed comb, and intentionally introduced errors to see where things should crap out. It turns out that the entire process goes swimmingly - except nothing shows up in my notifications and no amounts get moved between my different accounts (Facilitator and Buyer). It’s like all my transactions are going into /dev/null, yet the process is successful.
Edit 4: A hint!
In the sandbox, where Buyer accepts the transaction, there is a small note, “You will be able to review the transaction before completing it” or something like that -- suggesting that an additional page is not coming up and that the user is being uncerimoniously dumped back to the success page. Why the success page? No clue. But it’s happening.
It sounds like you are only doing the first part of the process.
Express Checkout consists of 3 API calls:
SetExpressCheckout
GetExpressCheckoutDetails
DoExpressCheckoutPayment
SEC generates a token, and then you redirect to PayPal where the user signs in and reviews the transactions before agreeing to pay.
They are then sent to the ReturnURL included in your SEC request, and this is where you'll call GECD in order to obtain all the buyer details that are now available since they signed in.
Using that data you can complete the final DECP request, which is what finalizes the procedure. No money is actually processed until this final call is completed successfully.
I just found the query online. I want to figure out the way.
Only an enthusiast would like to solve this(caution)
I would like to know how many anonymous users are online.
The server has no a priori notion which users are "online".
You may artificially define the term "session" and then consider the number of session as representing the number of online users.
If you do this and you use Zope sessions to implement your notion of "session", then you can look at the "session_data_manager" to find out how many sessions are available.
This would be more than enough to me, to know how many sessions are still available. If I could have the list of the ids of every active session, I could
easily build the list I need (by the getSessionDataByKey() method)...
I tried with something like :
but not even "manager" is allowed to execute that.
Even trying an External Method :
def activesessionlist( self):
return self.temp_folder.keys()
does not have any effect, instead :
def sessionperiod( self):
return self.temp_folder.getPeriodSeconds()
works right.
Could you please help me find out the list of active sessions? this is
driving me crazy...
Reference
If you'd like check check how many anonymous users are online, you have to create a session for each user whether its anonymous or authenticated. Once you have created the session. after that you can calculate the number of online user using "session_data_manager"
def activesessionlist(self):
# GET Session Data Manager Object
sdm = self.context.session_data_manager
# Create Session if it's not created
session = sdm.getSessionData(create=True)
# Get Container where all the session object is stroed
container = sdm._getSessionDataContainer()
# Get Total Count of Active Session
active_users = len(container.keys())
return active_users
