OVD - special/national characters in LDAP context

Hi all,
I created integration between Active Directory and Oracle 10g via Oracle Virtual Directory 10g. All works correctly but some users have national characters in his/her AD context. For example Thomas Bjørne (cn=Thomas Bjørne,cn=Users,dc=media,dc=local). In this case this user cannot login into database. I know that problem is with special national characters in AD context but I don't know how solve it. It is not possible change AD context :-(
Can somebody help me with it?

Lets first verify that you can bind to OID using the command line
commands with an existing user in OID.
Lets assume for a moment that your users password is welcome and
their DN in OID is cn=jdoe,c=US
Try the following command and tell me what the results are.
ldapsearch -p port_num -h host_name -b "c=US" -s sub -v "cn=*"
It should return all users under c=US. If not let me know the
error message you get.

  • Problem with special national characters

    Hi,
    How can I turn on the Oracle Application Server 10g to correct expose special national characters (ANSI 1250 Central Europe page)?
    It hosted on Windows Server 2003 where are appropriate character resources.
    Thanks in advance
    KM

    Check the available languages in SMLT (trn). In example stated below the characters coming from DI are Spanish characters, which are gettnig converted to Swedish 1s.

  • National characters

    I have written a Java cross platform program that counts the frequency of words in a given text. I output a list with the words and their frequency to a JTextArea as well as to a text file. The program works fine but I still have a problem. My text is Swedish and the special national characters are not written as they should for instance "o with two dots over" is written as "‰" and so on. (This is on a Macintosh). Even worse when I run the program on a Windows machine all the three special Swedish characters are written by one and the same character.
    If I output to the console these characters are written as \xxx.
    What to do???

    Check to make sure you're reading the file in with the right encoding. Sadly, there's no way to do it directly with a FileReader.
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("foo.txt"), "UTF-8"));
    Does your program display the output graphically to the user or does it write the results to a file? If it's to a file then it might be the output encoding.

  • Problem crawling filenames with national characters

    Hi
    I have a big problem with filenames containing national (danish) characters.
    The documents gets an entry in in wk$url but have error code 404 (Not found).
    I'm running Oracle RDBMS 9.2.0.1 on Redhat Advanced Server 2.1. The
    filesystem is mounted on the oracle server using NFS.
    I configure the Ultrasearch to crawl the specific directory containing
    several files, two of which contains national characters in their
    filenames. (ls -l)
    <..>
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 user group 13 Oct 4 13:36 crawlertest_linux_2_fxeFXE.txt
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 user group 19968 Oct 4 13:36 crawlertest_windows_fxeFXE.doc
    <..>
    (Since the preview function is not working in my Mozilla browser, I'm
    unable to tell whether or not the national characters will display
    properly in this post. But they represent lower and upper cases of the
    three special danish characters.)
    In the crawler log the following entries are added:
    <..>
    file://localhost/<DIR_PATH>/crawlertest_linux_2_B|C?C%C?C?.txt
    file://localhost/<DIR_PATH>/crawlertest_linux_2_B|C?C%C?C?.txt
    Processing file://localhost/<DIR_PATH>/crawlertest_linux_2_%e6%f8%e5%c6%d8%c5.txt
    WKG-30008: file://localhost/<DIR_PATH>/crawlertest_linux_2_%e6%f8%e5%c6%d8%c5.txt: Not found
    <..>
    file://localhost/<DIR_PATH>/crawlertest_windows_B|C?C%C?C?.doc
    file://localhost/<DIR_PATH>/crawlertest_windows_B|C?C%C?C?.doc
    Processing file://localhost/<DIR_PATH>/crawlertest_windows_%e6%f8%e5%c6%d8%c5.doc
    WKG-30008:
    file://localhost/<DIR_PATH>/crawlertest_windows_%e6%f8%e5%c6%d8%c5.doc:
    Not found
    <..>
    The 'file://' entries looks somewhat UTF encoded to me (some chars are
    missing because they are not printable) and the others looks URL
    encoded.
    All other files in the directory seems to process just fine!.
    In the wk$url table the following entries are added:
    (select status url from wk$url where url like '%crawlertest%'; )
    404 file://localhost/<DIR_PATH>/crawlertest_linux_2_%e6%f8%e5%c6%d8%c5.txt
    404 file://localhost/<DIR_PATH>/crawlertest_windows_%e6%f8%e5%c6%d8%c5.doc
    Just for testing purpose a
    SELECT utl_url.unescape('%e6%f8%e5%c6%d8%c5') from dual;
    Actually produce the expected resulat : fxeFXE
    To me this indicates that the actual filesystem scanning part of the
    crawler can sees the files, but the processing part of the crawler can
    not open the file for reading and it therefor fails with error 404.
    Since the crawler (to my knowledge is written in Java i did some
    experiments, with the following Java program.
    import java.io.*;
    class filetest {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
    try {
    String dirname = "<DIR_PATH>";
    File dir = new File(dirname);
    File[] fs = dir.listFiles();
    for(int idx = 0; idx < fs.length; idx++) {
    if(fs[idx].canRead()) {
    System.out.print("Can Read: ");
    } else {
    System.out.print("Can NOT Read: ");
    System.out.println(fs[idx]);
    } catch(Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    The performance of this program is very depending on the language
    settings of the current shell (under Linux). If LC_ALL is set to "C"
    (which is a common default) the program can only read files with
    filenames NOT containing national characters (Just as the Ultrasearch
    crawler). If LC_ALL is set to e.g. "en_US", then it is capable of
    reading all the files.
    I therefor tried to set the LC_ALL environment for the oracle user on
    my oracle server (using locale_config, and .bash_profile) but that did
    not seem to fix the problem at hand.
    So (finally) my question is; is this a bug in the Ultrasearch crawler
    or simply a mis configuration of my execution environment. If the
    latter how do i configure my system correctly?
    Yours sincerely

    I've posted my problems as a TAR on METALINK a little week ago.
    And it turns out to be a new bug in UltraSearch.

  • How to send Oracle rowid to servlet? | Problem with national characters.

    There is same possibility how to send rowid to servlet?
    I have now definition like this:
    <af:image source="/imageservlet?Par1=#{bindings.Col1.inputValue}"/>
    But If column contents national characters, servlet methods obtained changed these characters.
    My idea is to use not primary key for row, but use oracle rowid. It is simply possible?
    Use something like this:
    <af:image source="/imageservlet?Rowid=#{bindings.Rowid}"/
    Or Do you have ideas how to solve problem with national characters ?
    Thanks
    FiL

    Hi,
    Although your workaround works.
    I think this is a simple encoding problem.
    I simply need to make sure all parameters and pages are encoded with a char set which contains the national characters you mentioned.
    This is a bit dependent on the exact technology your using, but most can be done via the web.xml:
      <jsp-config>
          <jsp-property-group>
              <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
              <page-encoding>UTF-8</page-encoding>
          </jsp-property-group>
      </jsp-config>     This forces all JSP pages to be encoded in UTF-8
    Adding the following parameter sometimes helps as well, although I think this one is a bit dated:
    You said your using a servlet so your servlet needs a similar block for its pattern
      <context-param>
        <param-name>PARAMETER_ENCODING</param-name>
        <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
      </context-param>If you want to be 100% sure the encoding is set right make sure thepages contain:
    <%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=utf-8"%>Or depending on your view technology the syntax can be a bit different

  • Xterm font problem (national characters)

    Hello everyone!
    I have the following problem...
    I'm Slovene and the national characters (š, č, ž) work in the xterm by default, but when I change the fault, even to a line like "XTerm*font: -*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-iso8859-2", which is identical to the default font, they stop working. They show up as a space. If I set the font to something like "XTerm*faceName: terminus:pixelsize=14", they show up as 'box' characters, but when I try to use something like Monospace, they work again.
    How is it possible that the manual declaration of the -fixed- font does not work, when it's exactly like the default font if no special font is specified?
    Thanks for the answers,
    — Nanthiel

    When I use Terminus, it shows the Š and š, Č and č, Ž and ž.
    Try adding this line to your xterm settings to make sure xterm is UTF-8 compatible:
    xterm*utf8:    2
    I have no trouble using Terminus to show the Slovenian characters with locale set to 'en_US.utf8'.
    Terminus is installed to ./usr/share/fonts/local/'.  For Xorg to be fully aware of Terminus, your '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' must contain a section like this,
    Section "Files"
    FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/local"
    EndSection
    If you aren't using an 'xorg.conf' file, I think you can create one containing just those three lines.  (I could be wrong).  X has to be restarted for any changes in 'xorg.conf' to work.
    After restarting, Terminus will show up when you run 'xfontsel'.  Xfontsel is a small app that lets you display fonts and their names in the old Xorg format:   "-*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2".  The program won't show all the valid options, just some of them.
    Now you should be able to load Terminus in xterm with
    xterm*font:    -*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2
    Change the "12" to change the size of the font.
    Or,
    xterm*faceName:    xft:Terminus:size=12:hinting=true
    Again, change the "12" to change the size of the font.
    I hope this helps you.  I've learned much about xterm, and I now know that I prefer the font Inconsolata over Terminus.

  • Send purchase order via email (external send) with special Czech characters

    Hi all,
    I am sending a purchase order created with ME21N via email to the vendor using "external send".
    The mail is delivered without any problems, PO is attached to the mail as PDF file.
    Problem is that special Czech characters as "ž" or "u0161" are not displayed, a "#" (hash) appears instead.
    This problem occurs when language for PO output = EN.
    Tests with language = CS worked out fine, but the whole form incl. all texts are in Czech as well; so no valid solution since it needs to be in English.
    We checked SAPCONNECT configuration and raised note 665947; this is working properly.
    When displaying the PO (ME23N) special characters are shown correctly as well.
    Could you please let me know how to proceed with that issue?!
    Thanks.
    Florian

    Hi!
    No, it's not a Unicode system.
    It is maintained as:
    Tar.          Lang.        Lang.        Output Format                           Dev. type
    Format
    PDF     EN     English                                                     PDF1
    Using this option, character "ž" was not displayed correctly, but "Ú" was ok.
    All other Czech special characters are not tested so far.

  • Importing WORD document with special regional characters in RoboHelp X5

    Hello,
    i have a problem, when im importing a *.doc document. The
    document is written in slovene and it contains special regional
    characters. Here is the deal:
    I was using RoboHelp 4.0 before and i had this same problem.
    What i did was, when i added a new topic (imported *.doc file) into
    existing project and the WebHelp was generated, in the web browser
    i clicked the last added topic and opened a source code, where i
    changed the charset from 1252 to 1250. That enabled the special
    characters to be viewed correctly. When i imported some additional
    topics and generated the WebHelp again, the program somehow "saved"
    the 1250 setting in the previous topics and the characters were
    correctly shown. I had to adjust 1250 only in the new topics, that
    were added before the last generate.
    When i try to do the same in RoboHelp X5, this doesnt work.
    Program doesnt "remember" the 1250 setting and it always generates
    with 1252 character setting. Which is a problem, because there are
    a lot of topics and i would have to change the character setting
    for every topic/doc document i added.
    What can i do ?
    Thanks in advance

  • Special Unicode characters in RSS XML

    Hi,

  • Special HTML Characters

    Hi,
    I encountered a problem with regards to the display of special HTML characters(chr 155). Crystal was not able to correctly display the cahracters. Instead a blank space was displayed. In addition to, when the report is exported to PDF, it is displayed as boxes.
    Is there a way to handle display of special HTML chars in crystal?
    Thanks

    Crystal HTML interpreter is very limited and has been same for years, so it seems unlikley it will chnage any time soon.
    As its a specific character that is failing use a replace formul to remove the long dash html and replace with a short dash html which I guess Crystal will recognise.
    Replace(yourfield, 'longdashhtml', 'shortdashhtml')

  • How to make Reports 9i display Danish national characters?

    I am running Oracle9i Reports and cannot make Reports print the Danish national characters f, F, x, X, e and E. I have a development machine with Developer Suite 9.0.2, where I can run the report in Paper Design, where the characters displays correctly, but as soon as they are uploaded to the Application Server (9.0.2), all of the national characters are replaced with some very mysterious characters. The dev. machine and the Oracle9iAS machine both connect to the same database, and when I make a boilerplate object just containing "FXE", the problem is still there, so it does not seem to be a database issue.
    I read some articles on MetaLink about adding some lines in uifont.ali, but they do not seem to apply, since the article only mention East-European languages (Polish and Czech). The font used is Times New Roman. The dev. machine has NLS_LANG set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252, and the Oracle9iAS machine is running DANISH_DENMARK.WE8MSWIN1252 - ie. the same character set. I tried to generate the report both to HTML and PDF, but that did not make any difference regarding this issue.
    How do I make Oracle9i Reports Services display the Danish national characters correctly?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your suggestions.
    However, here's what I've done, and it did not make any difference.
    1. Changed the NLS_LANG parameter to match on both server and dev. machine and recompiled and saved the RDF - no difference.
    2. Installed the same model printer on the server, as the one on the development machine, and rebooted the server - no difference.
    3. Checked uifont.ali on both systems - they're exactly the same...
    What else might be causing this?

  • 10g client mangles national characters, 9i client is ok

    We are having a strange problem with some 10.2.0.4.0 clients on Windows XP. They make an incorrect conversion of national characters while querying from a 10.2.0.4.0 database. For example, the "ä" letter in the result set is converted to "a", which must not happen. When connecting to the same 10g database with a 9i client and issuing exactly the same SELECT statement, the result is correct. How can we make the 10g client treat national characters correctly?

    Thanks for your help everybody. Yes, there was a conflict between the database and client character sets. I used the NLS_LANG environment variable in Windows to instruct the client to use the same character set with the database, and this seems to solve the problem.
    I just wonder how the 9i client was able to do what we wanted, while there were problems with 10g. There are exactly the same NLS_LANG values in the registry for 9i and 10g, each containing a character set part that is inconsistent with that of the database. Also, after setting NLS_LANG in Windows, 9i still gave the correct result, as if NLS_LANG had no effect on it.

  • Losing NATIONAL CHARACTERS(blob- clob- table). unistr?

    Hello!
    I have a problem with national characters. My example is as follows:
    1. A csv file is uploaded from disk to htmldb_application_files
    2. This BLOB is then converted to CLOB with dbms_lob.converttoclob()
    3. Data from this CLOB is copied to PL/SQL array.
    4. From PL/SQL array to table in database.
    The problem: Either data copied to table in database loses national characters (display strange characters instead of national), or if I set my national character set id as an argument of dbms_lob.converttoclob() function I have an error - says that file is inconvertible.
    What is wrong? How can I solve my problem? Can unistr() help somewhere? Any ideas?
