How to determine if account running java application is 'SYSTEM'

How can I check whether my Java application is running as "SYSTEM"/"Local System" (as seen on Windows Service list)?
I tried using this:
System.out.println("Running with user: " + System.getenv().get("USERDOMAIN") + "\\" + System.getenv().get("USERNAME"));
... but it seems to return DOMAIN\COMPUTERNAME according where the program is run. So it can be like DOMAIN1\COMPUTER1 and somewhere else it is FOO\SERVER451 and both still means "SYSTEM" account.
For background information, my Java application is wrapped to a Windows Service with 'Apache Commons Daemon Service Runner' and by default it will run as "Local System" (same way as in example image).
I really would want to simplify my code to print either SYSTEM or MYDOMAIN\JackTheUser depending on user type... Is there a way to do it with Java?
EDIT 20/12/02:
This is what I have done meanwhile the SO army working to find the correct answer:
Main:
String username = System.getenv().get("USERNAME");
String userdomain = System.getenv().get("USERDOMAIN");
String servername = getComputerName();
if (username.equalsIgnoreCase((servername + "$"))) {
System.out.println("Running with user: 'Local System'("
+ userdomain + "\\" + username + ")");
} else {
System.out.println("Running with user: '" + userdomain + "\\"
+ username + "'");
}
Methods:
private static String getComputerName() {
Map<String, String> env = System.getenv();
if (env.containsKey("COMPUTERNAME"))
return env.get("COMPUTERNAME");
else if (env.containsKey("HOSTNAME"))
return env.get("HOSTNAME");
else
return "Unknown Host name";
}
Prints:
Running with user: 'MYDOMAIN\jokkeri' or Running with user: 'Local System'(MYSERVER\SERVER_1$)
(not a perfect solution and I'm sure there are many occasions where it won't work but it's a starting point)
EDIT2 20/12/02:
Some good information about SYSTEM account was found from this thread from superuser: https://superuser.com/questions/265216/windows-account-ending-with

That’s the best I can come up so far
private static final String APP_NAME = "Some App";
private static final Configuration CONFIG = new Configuration() {
public #Override AppConfigurationEntry[] getAppConfigurationEntry(String name) {
return name.equals(APP_NAME)?
new AppConfigurationEntry[] { new AppConfigurationEntry(
"com.sun.security.auth.module.NTLoginModule",
LoginModuleControlFlag.REQUIRED, Collections.emptyMap())}:
null;
}
};
static final boolean DEBUG = true;
public static void main(String[] args) throws LoginException {
LoginContext lc = new LoginContext(APP_NAME, null, null, CONFIG);
lc.login();
final Subject subject=lc.getSubject();
boolean isSystem = false;
try {
for(Principal p: subject.getPrincipals()) {
if(DEBUG) System.out.println(p);
if(p.toString().equals("NTSidUserPrincipal: S-1-5-18")) {
isSystem = true;
if(DEBUG) System.out.println("\tit's SYSTEM");
}
}
}
finally { lc.logout(); }
}
As explained in this answer, SYSTEM is a set of permissions that can be attached to different accounts. The code iterates over all principals associated with the current account and tests for the well known SYSTEM.
But if you’re only interested in a printable user name, you may check for the NTUserPrincipal.
LoginContext lc = new LoginContext(APP_NAME, null, null, CONFIG);
lc.login();
final Subject subject=lc.getSubject();
try {
String name = System.getProperty("user.name"); // just a fall-back
for(Principal p: subject.getPrincipals()) {
if(p.toString().startsWith("NTUserPrincipal: ")) {
name = p.getName();
break;
}
}
System.out.println("Hello " + name);
}
finally { lc.logout(); }
If you can live with a direct dependency to the com.sun.security.auth package (or jdk.security.auth module in Java 9+), you can use the specific principal types directly
LoginContext lc = new LoginContext(APP_NAME, null, null, CONFIG);
lc.login();
final Subject subject=lc.getSubject();
try {
boolean system = false;
for(NTSidUserPrincipal p: subject.getPrincipals(NTSidUserPrincipal.class)) {
if(p.getName().equals("S-1-5-18")) {
system = true;
break;
}
}
Set<NTUserPrincipal> up = subject.getPrincipals(NTUserPrincipal.class);
String name = up.isEmpty()?
System.getProperty("user.name"): up.iterator().next().getName();
System.out.println("Hello " + name+(system? " *": ""));
}
finally { lc.logout(); }

How do I make aliases for already existing commands?

So, I'm making a Minecraft mod that allows make aliases for exising commands, like /tp, /spawnpoint, /setblock, etc.., as well as making many commands in one that will be executed by the order, like so:
/alias add sun "time set day" "weather clear"
I've already made the base of /alias command itself, but I still have no idea, how to make the functionality of it.
public class CommandAlias extends CommandBase {
private final List<String> aliases = Lists.newArrayList(Reference.MODID, "alias", "al");
#Override
public String getName() {
return "alias";
}
#Override
public String getUsage(ICommandSender sender) {
return "/alias add|remove|edit <alias> <command(s)>";
}
#Override
public List<String> getAliases() {
return aliases;
}
#Override
public boolean checkPermission(MinecraftServer server, ICommandSender sender) {
return true;
}
#Override
public void execute(MinecraftServer server, ICommandSender sender, String[] args) throws CommandException {
// sender.sendMessage(new TextComponentString("Hi " + sender.getName() + "!"));
if (args.length < 1) {
sender.sendMessage(new TextComponentString(TextFormatting.RED + "Invalid arguments!"));
return;
}
String alias = args[0];
String cmd = args[1];
if (args[0] == "add"){
// something
} else if (args[0] == "remove" || args[0] == "delete"){
// something
} else if (args[0] == "edit"){
// something
}
}
}

You'll need a couple of things:
A list of all aliases that are registered
An alias executor that will execute the aliased command when it is typed
Register the alias commands to bukkit
Here's a bit of a sample of this:
A list of aliases
HashMap<String, String> aliasList = new HashMap<String>;
When you add an alias you will need to add it to the command it is aliasing:
aliasList.put(myAliasString, commandToReplace);
An alias executor that will execute the aliased command when it is typed
executeAlias(String alias, ICommandSender sender, String[] args) {
if(aliasList.contains(alias) {
String aliasedCommand = aliastList.get(alias);
// Here you will need to convert the args array to a spaced string (if needed).
// Then send the command:
Bukkit.getServer().dispatchCommand(sender, commandString);
}
}
Register the commands when they come in:
if (args[0] == "add"){
// Make the AliasListener have the code from part 2
Bukkit.getCommand(args[1]).setExecutor(aliasListener)
// Store the alias and the command it replaces in the list.
this.aliasList.put(args[1], args[2])
}

Some informations of how handle the main() args in Java [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to make IntelliJ prompt me for command line arguments
(3 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have to develop a command line Java application in which the main() method accept 2 String parameters named respetivelly partitaIVA and nomePDF.
So, as starting point, I created this simple Main class:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World !!!");
}
}
I think that I can perform this minimalistic application from the Windows console and that I can perform my application passion these parameters to it doing something like this in the Windows console (or in the Linux shell):
java Main 123456789 myDocument.pdf
and I think that I can retrieve it inside my application modifying the original code in this way:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World !!!");
String partitaIVA = args[0];
String nomePDF = args[1];
}
}
So now I have 2 doubts about this topic:
1) I know that I can perform this application specifying my 2 parameters using the Windows command line or the Linux shell but can I do the same thing into my IDE console? Specifically in the Run tab of IntelliJ?
2) Can I specify in some way that the parameters that the user can specify are only 2?

1) There is something called run/debug configuration https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/creating-and-editing-run-debug-configurations.html (here are also sone details about the specific options you have: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/creating-and-editing-run-debug-configurations.html#d1628194e152)
2) No, you can only print an error and guide the user

You should invest the time in learning a modern CLI argument parser:
I prefer JewelCli
<dependency>
<groupId>com.lexicalscope.jewelcli</groupId>
<artifactId>jewelcli</artifactId>
<version>0.8.9</version>
</dependency>
Here is an example that can be used as a base class:
public class Main
{
private static final Logger LOG;
static
{
LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Main.class);
}
private static Args init(#Nonnull final String[] args)
{
final Cli<Args> cli = CliFactory.createCli(Args.class);
try
{
return cli.parseArguments(args);
}
catch (final ArgumentValidationException e)
{
for (final ValidationFailure vf : e.getValidationFailures())
{
LOG.error(vf.getMessage());
}
LOG.info(cli.getHelpMessage());
System.exit(2); // Bash standard for arg parsing errors
return null; // This is to make the compiler happy!
}
}
private static List<String> parseKey(#Nonnull final String key)
{
return new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(key.toLowerCase().split("\\.")));
}
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
private static Map<String, Object> addNode(#Nonnull Map<String, Object> node, #Nonnull final List<String> keys, #Nonnull final String value)
{
if (keys.isEmpty())
{
return node;
}
else if (keys.size() == 1)
{
node.put(keys.remove(0), value.trim());
return node;
}
else if (node.containsKey(keys.get(0)))
{
return addNode((Map<String, Object>) node.get(keys.remove(0)), keys, value);
}
else
{
final Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
node.put(keys.remove(0), map);
return addNode(map, keys, value);
}
}
public static void main(final String[] args)
{
try
{
final Args a = init(args);
final Properties p = new Properties();
p.load(new FileInputStream(a.getInputFile()));
final HashMap<String, Object> root = new HashMap<String, Object>();
for (final String key : p.stringPropertyNames())
{
addNode(root, parseKey(key), p.getProperty(key));
}
switch (a.getFormat().toLowerCase().charAt(0))
{
case 'j': LOG.info(mapToJson(root)); break;
case 'b' : LOG.info(Strings.bytesToHex(mapToCbor(root))); break;
case 'x' : LOG.error("XML not implemented at this time!"); break;
default : LOG.error("Invalid format {}", a.getFormat());
}
}
catch (IOException e)
{
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
interface Args
{
#Option(shortName = "i", longName = "input", description = "Properties file to read from.")
File getInputFile();
#Option(shortName = "o", longName = "output", description = "JSON file to output to.")
File getOutputFile();
#Option(shortName = "f", longName = "format", description = "Format of output Json|Binary|Xml")
String getFormat();
#Option(helpRequest = true, description = "Display Help", shortName = "h")
boolean getHelp();
}
}

In Intellij (Linux) you do:
Press Alt + Shift + F10 (the run shortcut)
Press right key
Go down to Edit
Then press Tab to go to "Program arguments".
This is where you pass the arugments in IntelliJ. After that just hit run.

How Log jar file in log from where Log statement is printed

How to Log the jar file location in log file.
Say I am printing some message from LogTest.java which is in myLog.jar , is there any way to print in log file as below.
INFO 2013-10-30 15:58:07,227 [log] (LogTest.java:235:myLog.jar) - Some Log Message
Various jar in a legacy project contain similar kind of log message with the same class name,
It is taking time to investigate any issue.
Is there any way to handle this please give your suggestion.

There is no an option to include the source file with the standar org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout. However, you can create your own layout to include it the source. The following may be of use.
public class MyLayout extends org.apache.log4j.Layout {
public void activateOptions() {
// None action
}
public String format(LoggingEvent event) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append(event.getLevel());
sb.append(" (");
sb.append(event.getLoggerName());
sb.append(":");
sb.append(event.getLocationInformation().getLineNumber());
sb.append(":");
sb.append(getSource(event.getLoggerName()));
sb.append(") - ");
sb.append(event.getMessage());
sb.append(LINE_SEP);
return sb.toString();
}
public boolean ignoresThrowable() {
return true;
}
public static String getSource(String className) {
try {
ClassLoader loader = MyLayout.class.getClassLoader();
String name = className.replace('.', '/').concat(".class");
URL url = loader.getResource(name);
return url.getPath();
} catch (Exception e) {
return null;
}
}
}

Building JCoServer without Properties-File

I got another JCo-related question and hopefully finding help.
With JCo you can easily build up a connection like it is explained in the example sheets which came with the JCo-library. Unfortunately, the only way building a connection is handled with a created property file. It wouldn´t be that bad, if there wasn´t any sensible data in it. But at least, the password for the SAP user stands in the file, so it is a lack of safety in this way of connection-handling. The manual of JCo says so, too :
"For this example the destination configuration is stored in a file that is called by the program. In practice you should avoid this for security reasons."
but couldn´t find a working solution after all. There are a palmful threads about this theme, like this
http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7303957
but none of them are helpful. I really can´t figure out a solution and neither find one. Actually I solved the security-problem with deleting the file after building the connection, but this is not a satisfying solution. There have to be a better way getting the parameter for the connection, especially when it stands in the manual, but I have no glue how.
Anybody already worked with JCo 3.0 and knows this problem?

Yes, that's possible. You have to create your own implementation of DestinationDataProvider and register it using Environment.registerDestinationDataProvider(). However your DDP obtains the connection data and credentials is up to you. Take a look at net.sf.rcer.conn.connections.ConnectionManager, there's a working example in there.
You need to
copy the private class starting on line 66 and adapt it to your own needs (that is, fetch the connection data from wherever you want to)
perform the registration (line 204) somewhere during the startup of your application
get the connection using some string identifier that will be passed to your DestinationDataProvider.

It's a bit confusing, it was dificult to me how to figure this too.
All you need is an object of type java.util.Properties to fill the desired fields, but it's up to ou how to fill this object.
I dit it through a ValueObject, I can fill this VO from a file, database, web form...
JCOProvider jcoProvider = null;
SAPVO sap = new SAPVO(); // Value Object
Properties properties = new Properties();
if(jcoProvider == null) {
// Get SAP config from DB
try {
sap = SAPDAO.getSAPConfig(); // DAO object that gets conn data from DB
} catch (Exception ex) {
throw new ConexionSAPException(ex.getMessage());
}
// Create new conn
jcoProvider = new JCOProvider();
}
properties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_ASHOST, sap.getJCO_ASHOST());
properties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_SYSNR, sap.getJCO_SYSNR());
properties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_CLIENT, sap.getJCO_CLIENT());
properties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_USER, sap.getJCO_USER());
properties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_PASSWD, sap.getJCO_PASSWD());
properties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_LANG, sap.getJCO_LANG());
// properties.setProperty(DestinationDataProvider.JCO_TRACE, "10");
try {
jcoProvider.changePropertiesForABAP_AS(properties);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new ConexionSAPException(e.getMessage());
}
The JCOProvider class:
import com.sap.conn.jco.ext.DestinationDataEventListener;
import com.sap.conn.jco.ext.DestinationDataProvider;
import com.sap.conn.jco.ext.Environment;
import es.grupotec.ejb.util.ConexionSAPException;
import java.util.Properties;
public class JCOProvider implements DestinationDataProvider {
private String SAP_SERVER = "SAPSERVER";
private DestinationDataEventListener eventListener;
private Properties ABAP_AS_properties;
public JCOProvider() {
}
#Override
public Properties getDestinationProperties(String name) {
if (name.equals(SAP_SERVER) && ABAP_AS_properties != null) {
return ABAP_AS_properties;
} else {
return null;
}
// if(ABAP_AS_properties!=null) return ABAP_AS_properties;
// else throw new RuntimeException("Destination " + name + " is not available");
}
#Override
public boolean supportsEvents() {
return true;
}
#Override
public void setDestinationDataEventListener(DestinationDataEventListener eventListener) {
this.eventListener = eventListener;
}
public void changePropertiesForABAP_AS(Properties properties) throws ConexionSAPException {
try {
if (!Environment.isDestinationDataProviderRegistered()) {
if (ABAP_AS_properties == null) {
ABAP_AS_properties = properties;
}
Environment.registerDestinationDataProvider(this);
}
if (properties == null) {
if (eventListener != null) {
eventListener.deleted(SAP_SERVER);
}
ABAP_AS_properties = null;
} else {
ABAP_AS_properties = properties;
if (eventListener != null) {
eventListener.updated(SAP_SERVER);
}
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
throw new ConexionSAPException(ex.getMessage());
}
}
}
