New to Sun - How to get username and password

Hi,
I bought a computer on a closing company auction, which is Sun Sparc 5
and containing Sun Solaris 8.
I am able to boot the computer and it is prompting the user name and password.
Neither do I have it nor the company folks had it.
Does any one has a solution ?
Thanks

I hope you didn't pay to much for this system, considering it came installed and configured but without any docs on it's root password. Without the root password you're really, really stuck.
Does it have a CDROM drive in it? If so, did you get a media pack with this system? The Solaris 8 Installation disks? Basically, while you can boot off the net (if you have a Sun server locally) or the CD drive (if you have a CD drive and an OS CD) and repair the system - or in this case set a new root password - you're almost certainly better off reinstalling the whole thing to start afresh. Installation is explained in the docs that come with the CDs.
The security of Unix systems means you can't just break in from the login prompt you're seeing and do what you want. You need to log in as a user or as root, and then you can only do what that user is allowed to do.
So right now I can only suggest you reinstall this system fresh and set up your own user and password, and set your own root password as part of that process. It's actually a fairly simple process, and a good learning process, which I assume is why you purchased this system. I just hope this SS5 came equipt to easily let you do that.
If you don't have any OS media and can't get them from somewhere, I suggest you look at the sun.com website to see if you can buy a single CPU Solaris 9 media and license. You can also download Linux/SPARC to run on this system, but I imagine you want to learn Solaris, or you'd have got a PC?
If you don't have a CDROM on this, or access to a network with Sun boot servers on, and you don't want to spend any more money, I can only suggest you try to find some information about possible cracks on that version of Solaris and try to break in to the box from another system connected to it via the network. But this is even less of a beginners route than the others, even if you can find an exploitable hole in Solaris 8 that gives root access that hasn't already been patched on this system. They're not exactly common in the first place =O{
Sorry I can't be more help.

    Hi Arjun,
    Are you looking for external authentication(External ID option) in HANA Studio instead of logging by entering HANA User and Pwd(which is internal)?

  • How-to access username and password protected Java EE Web services from ADF

    The title of this post is exactly the same as this article by Frank Nimphius:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/1013/protectedws/access_protected_web_services_from_adf.htm
    The article addresses the problem of securing web services using usernames and passwords, when those web services are accessed through a proxy or a data control. In the examples, the user names and passwords are specified, whether in the code or the definition of data controls. (SKING/SKING).
    In a very common scenario, users login to reach a page, for example, A.jspx, which contains a button that calls a web service, for example displayDate. Suppose that user has logged in by username/pass of (AHUNOLD/AHUNOLD) and AHUNOLD has access to the service and the page. Is there any way to pass the logged in user name and password to the webservice ? Of course we can hard-code the username in the data control definition or proxy code, but this is just one of the thousands of users who have access to the service and the authentication is not dynamic this way.
    Hope my question is clear. Wishing you all a great Christmas.
    Farbod

    Hi Frank, and happy new year.
    Are you implying that it couldn't be done declaratively? What is your suggestion for this problem? You know the problem... As I described:
    - I need to secure my web services, so when exposed, no one from inside network or the internet, can access the web service without proper permission
    - The web services are shown as web controls on jspx pages. The user has logged in before reaching the page. It is irrelevant to ask him to enter user name and password again.
    - I have user names, passwords and roles in Oracle Internet Directory (Identity Management). It provides some APIs and I can retrieve the usernames and attempt logging in programmically. But how can I get username and password from the session in ADF application?
    I guess using SAML or certificate could be the solution, but I have a problem with SAML, described here:
    Re: Webservices Security, SAML, and Identity Management (OID)

  • How to pass username and password with the portal url

    i want to access portal from my web site. i have created username and password fields in my web page. when submited , my portal page should open. so how to pass username and password with the portal url.

    This is not straightforward; but it is doable.
    First tell us about your portal version; portal 10.1.4 has a slightly different method of doing it and the pre-10g portals were completely different animals.
    And if you are in AS Rel 2, then the most important document for you would probably be the following:
    [Creating Deployment Specific Pages| http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/idmanage.1012/b14078/custom.htm#i1015535]
    You might want to use it in conjunction with some metalink notes about your portal version and such a login page.
    hope that helps!

  • How to set username and password before redirecting to a RESTful webservice

    I am a .Net developer who has developed a webservice used by my ColdFusion colleagues. They are using ColdFusion 9 but I'm not sure if they have incorporated any of the newer features of ColdFusion in their apps. Here is a snippet of how they have been invoking the webmethods:
    <cfscript>
                         ws = CreateObject("webservice", "#qTrim.webServiceName#");
                         ws.setUsername("#qTrim.trimAcct#");
                         ws.setPassword("#qTrim.trimpwd#");
                         wsString=ws.UploadFileCF("#qTrim.webserviceurl#","#objBinaryData#", "#qFiles.Filename#", "Document", "#MetaData#");
                </cfscript>
    As I understand things, the .setUsername and .setPassword correspond to the Windows credentials the CF Admin set when the URL of the .Net webservice was "registered" and given its "name" (for the CreateObject statement above). I have 4 webmethods that are all invoked in this manner and this SOAP protocol works adequately for us. Please note that this ColdFusion web app authenticates anonymous remote internet users by prompting for a username and password and compares them to an application database (i.e. Microsoft calls this "forms authentication"). Because only a few Windows domain accounts are authorized to call this .Net webservice, the above code always uses the same username/password constants and it all works.
    My question involves the newest webmethod added to the .Net webservice. It requires that callers must invoke it as a RESTful service which means it must be invoked by its URL. Here is a snippet of C# code that invokes it from an ASP.NET webclient:
                string r = txtRecordNumber.Text;
                string baseurl = "http://localhost/sdkTrimFileServiceASMX/FileService.asmx/DownloadFileCF?";
                StringBuilder url = new StringBuilder(baseurl);
                url.Append("trimURL="); url.Append(txtFakeURLParm.Text);
                url.Append("&");
                url.Append("TrimRecordNumber="); url.Append(txtRecordNumber.Text);
                Response.Redirect(url.ToString());
    I assume a ColdFusion script could easily build a full URL as above with appended querystring parameters and redirect. Is there some way for the CF code redirecting to a RESTful webservice (by way of its URL) to set the Username and Password to this Windows account mentioned above? When the DownloadFileCF webmethod is hit it must be with the credentials of this special Windows domain account. Can that be set by ColdFusion someway to mimic the result of the SOAP technique (the first snippet above).
    I hope my question is clear and someone can help me make suggestions to my ColdFusion colleagues. Thanks.

    Can you clarify what you mean by "establish a different Windows identity"?  Usually passing identity to a web site or service means adding something to the request's HTTP headers.  This could be a cookie in the case of .NET forms authentication or the "Authorization" header in the case of basic authentication.
    The SOAP web service invocation code you posted does use basic authentication, according to the CF docs "ColdFusion inserts the user name/password string in the authorization request header as a base64 binary encoded string, with a colon separating the user name and password. This method of passing the user name/password is compatible with the HTTP basic authentication mechanism used by web servers."
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec13a13 -7fe0.html
    If you need to mimic the SOAP techinque you should have basic authentication enabled for your REST service endpoints.
    If your authentication method is different then CF developers will need to add the appropriate HTTP headers to their service calls.  Note that calling a REST service from CF would probably be accomplished using the CFHTTP tag if the service is designed to be consumed by the CF server.

  • Getting username and password with https connection

    I have a webservice that will authenticate the user to run a http://localhost:8080/soap/services/myService, I would like to call this in a form when a user clicks a button.  So I require HTTP/s authentication on the SOAP service, and this brings up a prompt:
    Connection at http://localhost:8080/soap/services/myService requires authentication:
               Username:
               Password:
    Now on myService, I want to verify the username and password they have entered in that security prompt within my orchestration.  How can I retrieve the username/password from the Acrobat security prompt?
    If I need to clarify, please just let me know.
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Hi Paul,
    That's sort of what I assumed was happening, but I'm not actually wanting to authenticate for the webservice call it seems.  I'm wanting to capture their username/password via acrobat prompt then push it along to the soap service.  So I guess via script I would want to do:
    1. prompt the user for username/password via acro-prompt (not sure how to do this)
    2. capture their input in variables (again not sure from acro-prompt)
    3. set up soap message (I can do)
    4. send data ("")
    5. receive data on LC side and use the user/password to authenticate in a database table I created ("")
    6. modify a field based on authentication allowed/denied ("")
    It doesn't necessarily have to be an actual authentication box, but I just want a username/password prompt so I can get those values.
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Sridhar

    i need to get USERNAME and PWD in my Soap header for consuming Webservice using SAP PI ,
    Can be achieved by XSL Mapping or SOAP Axis Adapter. Search on SDN for further details as this has been discussed many a times on the forum.
    should i need to get some certificates from client and deploy it or should we do anything in SAP PI and send to soap header or can hard code it and send to webservice, please help me in this t
    First you need to confirm whether certificates are required or not. Might be the web service is using user id / password security (basic authorization).
    How to use certificates in PI - Search on SAP Help, this has been explained in great details over there.

  • How to supply username and password for consuming webservice in BizTalk Adaptor?

    While I hit the web service directly , I am able get response from that service, it asked for username and password, after that it processed the request and gave expected output. I am trying to consume the same web service (https) from BizTalk orchestration
    ,  it created message type , port type, binding for me , all fine, but while sending message to the webservice , it throws error like this 
    <SOAP-ENV:Fault xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:wd="urn:com.abc/bsvc">
    <faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Client.authenticationError</faultcode>

    </SOAP-ENV:Fault>
    I have given username and passoword in port level. I tried basic binding, I also tried wcf_basic binding , but no luck. These bindings were generated by wizard only, I Imported those bindings , ports got created, I just added username and password in the
    port level.
    How should I supply username and password in BizTalk to get this working ? Any inputs would be greatly appriciated
    Regards

    Hi,
    the way to resolve this is to write a Wcf Custom Behavior.
    Several people have blogged about this and Microsoft have written some articles:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/627.using-custom-behaviors-with-the-biztalk-wcf-adapters-part-2.aspx

    The articles are old so you need to verify they still apply.

  • How to give Username and password when calling HTTP page?

    I have this code when i run this I get credentials error. How to give credentials .The authentication is set to windows in the https page. Means pop up will appear to get the credentials
    declare
    req UTL_HTTP.REQ;
    resp UTL_HTTP.RESP;
    value varchar2(1024);
    p_url varchar2(4000);
    OPT varchar2(1000);

    dbms_output.put_line(p_url);

    resp := utl_http.get_response(req);
    loop

    dbms_output.put_line(value);
    end loop;
    exception
    when utl_http.end_of_body then
    utl_http.end_response(resp);
    END;
    When i run this i get
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>

    <title>401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.</title>
    <style type="text/css">

    Basic authentication is set using the UTL_HTTP.Set_Authentication() call.
    If you are using a proxy and need procy authentication, you can set the username and password for proxy access, as part of the proxy URL. E.g.
    utl_http.set_proxy( 'http://proxyuser:[email protected]', null );NTLM (Windows NT LAN Manager) authentication is proprietary and not part of the HTTP specifications. If that is needed, try and use the username and password as part of the URL - or do some research on how to manually perform NTLM authentication.
    If you are using HTTPS, you need an Oracle Wallet with that server's certificate (making it a trusted certificate), and then set/use the wallet using the UTL_HTTP.Set_Wallet() call. See sample code in {message:id=10820182}.

  • How to set username and password when using Proxy class for SOCKS5?

    Hi all,
    I use the proxy class for SOCKS5, so need to set username and password, I don't find where can I set the value. whether the API support it.
    Thanks in advance!

    System.getProperties().put("proxySet", "true");That does nothing. Remove.
    System.getProperties().put("proxyHost", getProxyHost());
    System.getProperties().put("proxyPort", getProxyPort());You should be setting socks.proxyHost and socks.proxyPort here.
    System.setProperty("java.net.socks.username", getSOCKSUsername());
    System.setProperty("java.net.socks.password", getSOCKSPassword());
    Authenticator.setDefault(new ProxyAuth(getSOCKSUsername(), getSOCKSPassword()));You either need the first two lines or the third, not both. See the last link posted above.
    1. After I set the value, I connect internet by proxy, how the proxy server knows the values?Because Java tells it during the SOCKS handshake.
    2. In my app, I just set the values in the system properties, then JVM does remaining work? Remaining work is not concerned?Should be OK unless you have to connect to a different SOCKS proxy from the same JVM, but that kind of thing is problematic anyway due to the curious Authenticator design which is set globally, not per connection as you might expect.
