Changing db2 sid password

Hi,
Recently i just changed db2<sid> password in AIX using passwd command and also i changed the password in r/3 (tcode dbacockpit under database connection)
After that i looked at the etc/security/failedlogin file and i saw a lot of db2<sid> entries.
Can anyone enlighten me which part i have missed out or done wrongly?
Thanks a million

Hi,
Changing the db2<sid> password will not require the
update of other users or any other change to reflect the changed
password. which would be needed if you change the passwords of
<sid>adm and sap<sid> (these would need to be updated via dscdb6up)
But if you change the db2<sid> password
it will not affect the running of the SAP instance as SAP
does not use this user to connect.
Do you see alot of entries in the db2diag.log of
Password validation for user db2<sid> failed with rc = -2146500507
validation for user db2<sid> failed with rc = -2146500507 in the
db2diag.log file means that the "Password does not belong with
specified user id" after DB2 SERVER password was changed for instance
owner.
It will not harm the system but some user or script is still using the
old password to connect and it generating this entry. It would be very difficult
to track down exactly what is tyring to connect as it is not an SAP application.

Paul

Changing db2 mainframe password from java

Hey guys
Is there any way we could change the DB2 password from java program.
thanks,
Balaji

My current appliccation has a swing based front end.
From this front end we access DB2 DB which runs on mainframe.
Based on user name and password authentication we determine the screen access for the users. Now the problem is there are users who dont access the DB directly other than for changing the password .
All other details they need they access from our application.
So if it is possible for them to change the password also from our application then they need not directly connect to the data base. Hope i am clear.
Thanks

Client-side Password Changes

I have a Leopard server setup with user accounts, but no home directories. I plan on using the server for calendaring, dhcp, dns, vpn and some web applications. These web applications are configured to auth against the user's Open Directory account on the server or using LDAP against Open Directory.
How does a user change their password on the Mac OS X server?
Is there a more user friendly way to do it than having them ssh to the server and running passwd?

I am currently working on a webapp function that uses php ldap so the user can change his/her password but I am having some trouble with it. I can currently update the encoded userPassword attribute and I can see that it has been updated in the Server Admin inspector but when I try to authenticate to the Open Directory the new password doesn't work.
This leads me to believe that Leopard OD isn't using the userPassword attribute for OD authentication, can anyone confirm this??
Here is the PHP code I am using:
$encodedPass = "{SHA}" . base64_encode( pack( "H*", sha1( $pass ) ) );
$infoOPENBRACKETHERE"userPassword"CLOSEBRACKETHERE = $encodedPass;
$r = ldapmodreplace($ldapconn, "uid=".$username.",cn=users,dc=server,dc=domain,dc=com", $info);
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much!

I changed my AppleID/Password and now am locked out of iCloud. iCloud says maximum number of free accounts have been activated. tried Settings, Mail etc but iCloud does not appear. I was going to delete it and start again.

Had to change Apple ID/Password recently now cannot access iCloud. In settings when tapping iC, log in screen appears with old ID and request for (old) password.
In Settings Mail, Contacts etc iCloud does not appear. I was going to delete account.
Trying new ID/Password message appears "maximum no. of free accounts have been activated".
Using old ID/Password message apperas "you can,t sign in because account was disabled for security reasons ......reset password at iforgot.apple.com which i did.
Can anybody help please??

Hi,
I tried to log in to iCloud but a message appears telling me I "can't sign in because my account was disabled for security reasons....reset password at iforgot.apple.com". I don't know why this happened.
I reset both my Apple ID and password.
When I tap Settings iCloud is listed on the left side between General and Mail, Contacts etc.
Tapping iCloud brings up a log in screen for iCloud which shows my old Apple ID and requests the password. If I put the password in I get the message as above.
If I use the new Apple ID/Password I get the message "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated....
In settings there is no option to "Delete Account"
Any suggestions??

I am the founder of a non-profit organization, a donor had just given us her used iBook G4. What do I need to do to wipe out her "stuff", change username and password, start all over new. We will use this iBook in our learning center in Saigon, Vietnam

To good citizens of the MAC world,
I am the founder of a non-profit organization, we are caring for 6,200 orphans and street kids in Vietnam. A donor had just donated her used iBook G4 for us to use in one of our several "learning centers" in Vietnam. Folks sometimes donating PC but this is the first time we ever received a MAC.. :-) I would like to know how to start this iBook all over new: change username and password. I am looking so forward to bring it to Saigon in a few days and let our children experience MAC ... I am a 2 years MAC users and I have no intention to return to the Dark side. Please help. I have the original OS disk. Thank you so much.

There should be no need to zero the hard drive.
Using the Restore discs that came with the iBook when it was new, restore the system software using the appropriate instructions which you can find through a link contained in this Apple Knowledge Base article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1561?viewlocale=en_US
Good luck with it.

I can no longer send iCal invitations. I have not changed any settings, passwords or email accounts. No idea what to do.

I can no longer send iCal invitations. I have not changed any settings, passwords or email accounts. No idea what to do.

Greetings,
Questions:
What happens when you put in an email address in an event? (Make sure the email address is also in your addressbook (Macintosh HD > Applications > Addressbook)
Are you using calendars that show up under "On My Mac" on the left hand side of iCal or are the calendars under a different heading?
Troubleshooting:
Make sure that you can send / receive email in the Apple Mail program.
Make sure that the email address in Mail > Preferences > Accounts is also on your Addressbook card:Go to Addressbook > Card > Go to My Card -- The email address you are using to send receive messages on your computer should be on this card.
If that doesn't take care of it:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists:
1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
--- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps!

How to change the SID name in the server

hi all,
i installed oracle 10g R1 on windows 2003 server. i gave an sid and created a database. the database is new and there is no data in the db. now i want to change the SID name of the database. pls help me in doing this.
regards,
nagarjuna

Hi,
Just a notice: SID and DBNAME are two different things. But the usual practice is to have SID = DBNAME, so let me assume you want to change both SID and DBNAME.
Either you can do it manually by recreating the controlfile as orawiss suggests. You may discover some challenges around the way (for instance, for the command CREATE CONTROLFILE SET "new_dbname" to work, you have do delete or rename the old controlfiles first).
Or, you can change it easier by using nid utility. The detailed howto and all implications can be found on:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10825/dbnewid.htm
Basically:
SQL> create pfile from spfile;
SQL> shutdown immediate;
nid TARGET=sys/password@oldname DBNAME=newname
copy the initoldname.ora to initnewname.ora and edit the DB_NAME parameter to reflect the new name
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> create spfile from pfile;
SQL>startup mount;
SQL> alter database open resetlogs;
Then don't forget to generate new password file for the new dbname (using orapw) and make changes in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora if needed.
Just make sure, the database has been properly shut down before changing the db_name either manualy by recreating controlfile or by the newid utility, as the renamed database has to be opened with resetlogs - making any crash recover of improperly shut down database impossible.
Kind regards,
Martin

Problem in RFC as JCO changed from user/password to SSO

Hi all
Initially i was using CO with user/password properties but now it has been changed to SO.
In my webdynpro project there are 3 RFC Models being used.
Out of which 2 are working fine and giving the desired results but 1 RFC works fine on the R/3 side but from the webdynpro side it does not work just displays bapireturn - "Not successful".
As the properties of the JCO changes to USer/password , the RFC works fine giving the desired results
Plz let me know wht cld be the problem
Thanks and Regards

Vindhya,
With SSO, the details of the user who's logged in goto R/3 and thus determines if the user has authorizations to run this RFC. This user could be different from the user you were using previously without SSO.
Meaning, this time, with SSO, the user is you whereas the user for user/pwd is someone else and you dont have authorizations to run the RFC??
And another thing, even if you can successfully run that RFC logging into R/3, your userid may not have RFC authorizations (which is required to do a RFC call). IF thats the case, you need to talk to your security/basis guys.
Lemme know if that could be the case in your situation.

How to change the SID during system copy

This blog /people/johannes.heinrich/blog/2006/07/07/new-features-in-db2-udb-v9--part-3 (i.e. the "new feature of V9" in this group) only
talk about the system copy without changing the SID.
In reality, we often want to change the SID during the system copy. Can we modify the script mentioned in above blog
to make SID change possible?
Thanks!

Hi Christy,
if you´re using export/import which is prefered you can change the sid during the parameter setting for export and import. You´ll be asked by the old sid and the new sid. For the tablespace names it is not so important because db2 is using tablespace id not the name for the internal administration.

Changed my AD password now cant get into enable !!!

Hi
Changed my AD password and now i cannot get into the enable side of the cisco switches on our network (we have no routers).
Looking on the logs for the ACS v4.2 I can see the following -
On TACACS+ Accounting you can see the connections which have worked - it the initial tty connections -
When i look in the failed attempts i see the following -
Auth failed - External DB user invalid or bad password or on another occasion internal error
or EAP-TLS or PEAP authentication failed due to unknown CAcertificate during SSL handshake.
Anyone seen this before ?
Steve

Steve,
Just out of curiosity can you verify your user account in ACS and make sure that the enable password is set to use external database?

How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'. This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
If that doesn't work, or there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
(If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open.
Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
Click the blue 'Continue' button.
Select the contact option that suits your needs best.
