Oracle Physical schema password management

Hi:
After setting up an Oracle physical schema and attaching a data store, I did a lot of work reversing tables, views etc and using them in my integrations, procedures etc. I never had to look back at the physical schema until we went into production, and the IT have informed me that there is a password ageing restriction for production systems. I made provisions for other system passwords (Planning, Essbase etc) using variables. But I couldn't get my head around to doing it at the Phsyical schema level.
Given that this is a classic problem, has anyone run into this sort of issue before, and if yes, what's the best practice to deal with it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Rajesh,
I see that you are using variables in Planning, essbase. On the same lines you can uses the variable as a password in the physical schema for database servers as well.
Not that this is the best practice.
But if your IT has a password ageing restriction - how tough is it for you to change it in the Topology Manager. That is the same as changing it in a database table and refreshing a variable from it but with less overhead.
Or you can change your system to use service accounts. Usage of service accounts is the best practice for things like these. Ask them - How do they run automated jobs on Unix ? Do they change the passwords for those accounts every now and then. I think the answer that you will get is "We use service accounts for that"
Are the database passwords stored in LDAP somewhere. Perhaps you can use JNDI to authenticate your database user/password from LDAP.
In the Dataserver connection properties, you will see the "JNDI Connection" checkbox. If you select it, it will change the next tab to let you add LDAP details.
Hope that helps

Oracle user(schema) passwords !!

I have two questions about oracle user passwords for our security based policies:
1. How can we determine oracle user passwords?
2 How can we determine weak oracle user passwords?
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards.

*1. How can we determine oracle user passwords?*
Refer to this link

*2 How can we determine weak oracle user passwords?*
Although the passwords in Oracle are encrypted, there is always possibilities that a user will choose a simple password like the same as his/her userid and here is doc about database security

Username/Password for Oracle Portal Schema

hi,
I've found a way to change the complete layout of the portal pages (was my request yesterday) by using the Dreamweaver MX extension for building unstructured UI templates but in the configuration of the web service to use, I have to set some values, in brief the schema's username and password and it's written that I can read the Oracle AS documentation to know how to find out these 2 values but I'm reading it since yesterday and I can't find a way to get them.
Does anyone knows how I could?
Thanks.
D.

D.
The value of the portal schema passwrod is stored in Oracle Internet Directory. You could use Oracle Directory Manager to query this or try this shell script for unix:
#!/bin/ksh
echo "\n================================"
echo "\n Get Schema Password From OID"
echo "\n================================"
echo "\nEnter the password of the cn=orcladmin user (usually the ias installation password): \c"
stty -echo
read OIDPW
stty echo
if [[ -z $OIDPW ]]; then
echo "OID Admin password required!"
else
echo "\nEnter the name of the Host on which OID is installed : \c"
read OIDHOST
if [[ -z $OIDHOST ]]; then
echo "No OID host specified!"
else
echo "\nEnter the OID Listen Port (default 3060): \c"
read OIDPORT
if [[ -z $OIDPORT ]]; then
echo " - No OID Port specified, using default"
OIDPORT=3060
fi
echo "\nEnter the desired Oracle schema name (default orasso): \c"
read DBUSERNAME
if [[ -z $DBUSERNAME ]]; then
echo " - No schema value entered, using default"
DBUSERNAME=orasso
fi
echo "\nLooking up the ${DBUSERNAME} schema password from $OIDHOST:$OIDPORT"
echo "\n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>"

How to compare two oracle database schemas

hi all,
i want to compare and find out differences between two oracle databases. The comparison should be made on between table definition,table data,primary and foreign keys, packages and functions.
Is there any management console or tool embedded in the oracle enterprise manger?
it is really appreciate if anyone can point me towards wright direction asap.

Hi ,
This script would help u a lot in comparing 2 schemas and generate a report on them.
Script:
This script will compare two Oracle schemas and generate a report of
discrepencies and this script has been used against Oracle 7.3.4, 8.0.5,
REM and 8.1.7 databases, but it should also work with other versions.
REM
REM Please note that the following schema object types and attributes are
REM not compared by this script at this time:

Variables in physical schema of File data server

I want to avoid hard coding of folder name where source files used to kept as it could be vary from environment to environment like dev to production
Can you please suggest best way to implement it?
How we can store it into parameter table ans how it could fetched on production enviormnet.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dinesh.

Hi Dinesh,
I believe you can substitute a variable in physical schema aswell..But you cannot test it by clicking the test button there.
This will work only when you have defined a variable in package at the beginning of the step.That phycal path will be resolved during run time.
Hope you got it now.
Same thing will work for the password field in any oracle dataserevr as well.
Thanks.

Oracle 10g analysis workspace manager

I'm looking for a weblink to install Oracle 10g analysis workspace manager.
I'm not sure whether it's available for free download.
Can someone help me?..
Thanks,
Bhagat

Hey;
Thanks again for the response. I tried dropping the repository and got a whole bunch of errors. While attempting to enable the sysman account, I realized that my password contained some characters that have special meaning for oracle and I think that's what was throwing it. The errors with the repository convinced me to try one more reinstall. Bit overkill, perhaps, but that's the whole point of a practice box. Once the database was up and running, teh enterprise manager is fully functional.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if that password could be responsible for my other schema issue as well...
Thanks again; I appreciate your time and patience.

Portal database schema password

Hi All,
I had installed Oracle 9ias 2 successfully, i am able to login to oracle portal user, but i am not able to connect to portal user in dtatabase.
Can anyone help me knowing the Portal schema password at database.
rgds

Here's the solution!
Load up Oracle Directory Manager (ODM). In Windows it is in your start menu under infrastructure_home --> Integrated Management Tools. The first time in you will need to add a server entry for your SERVER and OID Port (look in your port list but is it typically 4032).
In ODM navigate down the menu tree as follows:
-> You should be able to see the OID console
+ Oracle Internet Directory Servers
+ cn=orcladmin@OID_hostname:OID_port
+ Entry Management
+ cn=OracleContext
+ cn=Products
+ cn=IAS
+ cn=IAS Infrastructure Databases
+ orclReferenceName=iasdb.<infrastructure_machine>
+ OrclResourceName=PORTAL
-> Click on the Properties tab for PORTAL, in the 'orclpasswordattribute' field you
can see the Portal user's database password.
Cheers,
John

What is that Schema password?

Hi.
What do you guys mean with schema password? Where do i find that?
I can't connect to iFS, the error message is "invalid username/password; logon denied".
But i have the right username/password, could the reason be that the webserver/servlet container is running on a different machine than the oracle db?
Thx.

Thx. I figured it out now. But i have another problem: I get the exception:
IFS-10176: Unable to get credential manager version.
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-06550: line 1, column 13:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "." when expecting one of the following:
( - + mod not null <an identifier>
<a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> avg
count current exists max min prior sql stddev sum variance
execute forall time timestamp interval date
<a string literal with character set specification>
<a number> <a single-quoted SQL string>
The symbol "<an identifier>" was substituted for "." to continue.
I switched on the jdbc tracing and i think the problem is the following sql-statement:
DRVR DBG1 Output SQL: "BEGIN :1 := .IfsCredentialManagerPackage.getVersionString; END;"
It seems to me that there should be a schema name or a db name in formt of the dot.
Does anybody of you has an idea?
Thx, Daniel.

IFS Schema password error

After setting my ifs schema password with ifsconfig and try to run ifssetup, this is what I get:
Enter password for ifs schema names IFSSYS:<password>
ERROR
ORA-01034: Oracle not available (but DB is running)
Invalid password specified or Oracle 8i database is not running. Some control files need to be updated with the ifs schema password to bring up the ifs Java Web Server. Please erun ifsjwssetup with the correct ifs schema password to use JWS.
I have tried different passwords with different schema names other than IFSSYS and I get the same result. Any ideas? Thanks.
null

You have a problem with TNSNAMES or something similar. First get SQLPLUS working so you can connect at system/manager to your target instace. Then check that you can connect as ifssys using sql plus

How do you update the schema password from OEM

How do you update the schema password from Oracle Enterprise Manager...

There is a metalink article on changing the SYSMAN password, assuming that's what you're referring to. See Metalink Note 270516.1

Significance of DEFAULT check in Physical Schema

Hi guys! Can you tell me the significance of Default check in physical schema(in topology manager)?
When I remove this check from my current physical schema and run any Interface based on the same. I get errors like Delete previous checksome error
And If i create two or more than two physical schema and everytime when I want to Excecute interfaces based on these different schemas all I need to go to that particular schema and make it my default Schema; Otherwise excecuting Interface gives checksome error if that interface doesnot belong to our default physical schema.
Can you please comment on this.
Thankyou.

Hi Diwakar,
Adding my comment on this is,
The below is coded in document,
"If this box is checked, then the physical schema will be the data server default schema, when no schema has been specified. Only one physical schema can be marked by default."
The bottom line is for one data server even though it has one/more physical schemas ,atleast one should be default schema.
So every time if you are using different schema you have to make it as default to took that connection.
P.S: Experts comments are welcome !!!
Thanks,
Guru

Context,Physical schema and Logical schema

Hi,
How the context,physical schema,logical schema and agent are interrelated.
Please explain
Thanks
Jack

Hi Jack,
Context:
A context is a set of resources allowing the operation or simulation of one or more data processing applications. Contexts allow the same jobs (Reverse, Data Quality Control, Package, etc) to be executed on different databases and/or schemas.
Its used to run the object(process) in different database.
Physical Schema:
The physical schema is a decomposition of the data server, allowing the Datastores (tables, files, etc) to be classified. Objects stored in data servers with this mode of classification can be accessed by specifying the name of the schema attached to the object name.
Ex
Oracle classifies its tables by "schema" (or User). Each table is linked to a schema, thus SCOTT.EMP represents the table EMP in the schema SCOTT.
Logical schema:
A logical schema is an alias that allows a unique name to be given to all the physical schemas containing the same datastore structures.
->The aim of the logical schema is to ensure the portability of the procedures and models on the different physical schemas. In this way, all developments in ODI Designer are carried out exclusively on logical schemas.
Thanks
Madha

Help with Password Management!!!

I am having a problem configuring my OID password management options... the Admin guide says that I can do it through Directory Manager by selecting the server in the left hand pane and editing the data on the password management tab... problem is I have no password management tab... it's not there!
So I notice that I can also use the command line tools to modidy the entry "cn=pwdpolicyentry,cn=oracle internet" directory. I assume that "cn=oracle internet directory" is the top level of my tree... doing a search for anything cn=* from the top level results in three things as follows... none of them are the entry I want:
cn=configset1,cn=metadird,cn=configsets,cn=oracle internet Directory
cn=odipgroup,cn=odi,cn=oracle internet directory
cn=odisgroup,cn=odi,cn=oracle internet directory
OK... so in desperation I attempt to add the entry "cn=pwdpolicyentry,cn=oracle internet directory" and the server says it already exists.
Seems to me there is something messed up with my Directoty Information Tree but I don't know why that would be (I just installed and the install gave me no errors) or how to fix it. Can someone please help???
Thanks
Chris

Querying the password policy entry can be a little bit tricky unless you are very familiar with LDAP. Here's the command that does the trick:
ldapsearch -s base -b "cn=pwdpolicyentry,cn=oracle internet directory" "(objectclass=*)"cn=pwdpolicyentry,cn=oracle internet directory
objectclass=top
objectclass=pwdpolicy
cn=pwdpolicyentry
pwdmaxage=0
pwdlockout=0
pwdlockoutduration=0
pwdmaxfailure=0
pwdfailurecountinterval=0
pwdexpirewarning=0
Kind regards, Wilfried

Can we create logical/ physical schema by running any script (unix/window)?

I wish to create logical/ physical schema in oracle data integrator
by running any windows or preferably unix script.
is there any method or scripts provided in ODI?

I think you could insert info into Matser Respository tables:
Connect info: snp_connect
Logical Schemas : snp_lschema
Physical Schemas: snp_pschema
Or you may write some sql to do this.
