Accessing database via OID username and password

I've have 2 servers, one with the following software:
--- SERVER #1 ---
* Oracle database v9.2.0.1
* Management Server
* OID
--- SERVER #2 ---
and the other database server with:
* Oracle database v9.2.0.1
* and the database that it is registered (via dbca) with the OID database above...
I'm pretty sure everything is pretty close to configured correctly due to the
the following: only 1 tnsnames file exist on my laptop, from the DOS prompt, if I comment out the tns entry that points to the database on server #2 then tnsping
the database on server #2 it returns a message saying that it uses the LDAP file and it comes back with a message that ends w/OK, meaning (or what I believe means) that it hit the OID server for authentication.
My only issue is logging in though, I always get a invalid username & password error message.... I did log into "Enterprise Securtiy Manager" on server #1 and register the database from server #2.... I also created that guest user w/"create user guest identified globally as '';".... I also created the "schema mapping" on server #1 to the guest schema and users within OID.... On what server was I supposed to run this command: "create user guest identified globally as '';", on server #1 or #2? I read a lot of stuff on the Internet about Oracle Wallets, not sure where this comes in, is this where I'm going wrong? When I ran the DBCA assistant on the db on server #2 it didn't prompt\ask for any Oracle Wallet info....
What am I missing???
Thanks in advance for your help,
Wes

You have another thread on this as well.
Server 1 is the LDAP server (Oracle's implementation of it: OID), it can be used for network alias resolving as well as for authentication and authorization.
There is no need to use OID for network resolving, so let's skip that. The only need is that server#2 is registered in OID (server#1) - the wallet comes in when server#2 needs to communicate passwords with OID - when you used DBCA on server #2, it should have created the wallet, altered your network (on server#2), and created ldap.ora.
On server #2:
- sqlnet.ora should contain LDAP in addition to other configured options on the names.directory_path entry
- ldap.ora should contain your ldap server location, default (realm) context, and type (=OID)
After running DBCA, you should be able to see the instance on server#2 in cn=OracleContext,dc=<your default realm context> in Oracle Directory manager (ODM)
All the mapping stuff, I answered in the other thread, although I always use:
create user global_schema identified globally;
This works for 10G - and there have been changes from 9 to 10, but I'd check the syntax once more, if I were you

Access to InitialContext by username and password

hi,
I have implemented a web application, which gets resources via JNDI.
I am accessing JNDI by username and password:
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sap.engine.services.jndi.InitialContextFactoryImpl");
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "localhost:50004");
p.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "username1");
p.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "password1");
javax.naming.Context ctx = new InitialContext(p);
Accessing the InitialContext works without any problems.
My webapplication provides the functionality, that the user can relogin within the application.
When the user pushes the relogin-button, the following code is run again
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, guiConfig.getContext_factory());
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "com.sap.engine.services.jndi.InitialContextFactoryImpl");
p.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "username2");
p.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "password2");
javax.naming.Context ctx = new InitialContext(p);
So I would like to check the access to JNDI by username and password again.
Unfortunately I get an InitialContext EVEN WHEN MY PASSWORD IS WRONG.
It looks like InitialContext is not cleared and access to JNDI is not checked by username and password again.
Do I have to clear InitialContext before I relogin to the new InitialContext with the new username and new password; and if yes how can I do that?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi Maksim
I have tried the following source (within my webapplication):
boolean isOldMethod = true;
if (isOldMethod) {
     Properties p = new Properties();
     p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sap.engine.services.jndi.InitialContextFactoryImpl");
     p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "localhost:50004");
     p.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, username);
     p.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
     ctx = new InitialContext(p);
} else {
     ctx = new InitialContext();
     ctx.addToEnvironment(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sap.engine.services.jndi.InitialContextFactoryImpl");
     ctx.addToEnvironment(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "localhost:50004");
     ctx.addToEnvironment(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, username);
     ctx.addToEnvironment(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
Source code within on of my EJBs:
     public void setSessionContext(SessionContext context) {
          this.context = context;
public UserAuthorization getUserProfile(String userName, String applicationName) throws CasablancaException {
     Principal prin = context.getCallerPrincipal();
When I run oldMethod for INITIAL LOGIN and username+password are false,
     - immediately an exception is thrown
     -> THIS IS CORRECT BEHAVIOUR
When I run newMethod for INITIAL LOGIN and username+password are false,
     - no exception is thrown,
     - context.getCallerPrincipal() returns "Guest" (I have logged in with user "TESTUSER", who is Adminstrator)
     -> WRONG BEHAVIOUR
When I run oldMethod for RELOGIN and username+password are false,
     - no exception is thrown
     - context.getCallerPrincipal() return the old user (Context HAS NOT CHANGED to new user)
     -> WRONG BEHAVIOUR
When I run newMethod for RELOGIN and username+password are false,
     - no exception is thrown
     - context.getCallerPrincipal() return the old user (Context HAS NOT CHANGED to new user)
     -> WRONG BEHAVIOUR
So in both cases (oldMethod and newMethod) no errors are thrown, but no Relogin to JNDI is performed.
Do you have any more suggestions?
Thanks for your help!

4402 guest users authetication via Web (username and password)

Hello Everyone,
We have an issue with Wireless controller model 4402 loaded with 4.0.179.11. This box has stopped authenticating (Layer3 security Web Policy based local usernames and password) last night.
Steps taken to resolve the issue:-
1) Created local usernames and password via Web and tried using wireless through Guest ssid, when user enters this information web page loops back to authentication.
2) Tried authenticating via another Laptop, had no luck.
3) Changed WLAN SSID Guest from Layer3 security Web Policy to Layer2 Security, created Mac filter table for guest on the Controller. Guest was able to connect to the internet.
We have not made any configuration change. As this issue affected all Users, we restarting the controller after which issue was resolved. As per my colleagues this has happened couple of times and every time restart fixes this issue.
Please shed some light on this.
Regards,
Mujahid

I can't access sites that require username and password since 4.3 update

Since updating to IOS 4.3, I can't access bookmarked sites that require username and password. I can still get on sites that don't require it. Help please...

Have you tried the standard fix of resetting your iPad?
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

A site that i need to access asks for my username and password and then either pretends to load and says "authentication failed" or acts like it will load and then make me put it in again and it still doesn't work.

I need to access the library resources for an assignment in college. When I get to the website it asks for my user name and password and once I type that information, it seems like it will load and then it will repeat the user name and password page as if it did not load or say "authentication failed."

Single sign-on and different usernames and passwords

Hello,
I am building a Portal with WLPS 3.5 and WLS 6.0. I tried to get
information about the background of single sign-on.
I understand, that I need a Realm (i.e. LDAP Realm) to authenticate the
user for the first login to the portal (with username and password).
Now I would like to integrate my webmail-programm (to get emails from
Lotus Notes via Internet) as a portlet.
For my understanding the user has to authorizate to get access to webmail.
Therefore I create a ACL for webmail and this ACL is assigned to my
security Realm.
I would like the portlet to show after login the number of mails for the
specific user. But where are the username and password for webmail stored
and how are they received and forwarded?
I understand that my ACL included all users that have access to webmail
(i.e. all users). But I only want emails for the specific user.
Does WLS get all usernames and passwords while the first login? Do I have to
implement a algorithmen to get the specific username and password for the
requested resource in my portlet?
Has anyone solved a similar problem or can tell me where I can get more
information. I read the WebLogic Security document but I cant find a
answer to my questions.
Thanks
Lydia

Lydia,
I'm not an expert in this area, but I can give you a start.
As for single sign-on, there are different levels. For single sign-on across web-apps,
the servlet spec requires this (section 12.6 of th 2.3 spec) and therefore Weblogic
does this.
What you are talking about is single sign-on across back-end applications through
a web-app. BEA has partnered with Securant (just acquired by RSA) to provide this
kind of functionality. Browse to http://www.rsasecurity.com/products/ and look
at the ClearTrust product. BEA has also partnered with Netegrity (www.netegrity.com)
with their SiteMinder product. Neither is included in the Weblogic license. I'm
sure either vendor would be excited to explain how their product will solve your
problem if you give them a call.
As for where the username and passwords are stored, that is up to the realm. If
you are using the default WLPS RDBMSRealm, the username and encrypted password
are stored in the WLCS_USER table. If you are using LDAPRealm, they are stored
in your LDAP server.
Hope this was useful!

Can someone explain where the usernames and passwords for a user are

Getting Pooled Connection with username and password

hi,
I am facing problems in getting pooled connections to MYSQL
database.I am using Tomcat server.
I tried the example given in Tomcat doc "JNDI how to", it
works fine with one set of username and password which is
given in server.xml. Now can anybody guide me thru the steps
to get pooled connections to the same database with multiple
username and passwords.
Thankyou all in advance

Now can anybody guide me thru the steps to get pooled
connections to the same database with multiple
username and passwords.Nope. Can't be done -- at least not that I've seen yet.
Database/JDBC driver vendors seem unconcerned, or don't
care about this scenario. I ragged on Informix years
ago for this very feature. It should would make database
admins jobs a lot easier if they could know "who" that
connection belonged to that is running the outrageous
SQL query without having to divine it by way of tracing
socket/IP connections back thru the network to some machine.
The only way I've seen to do it is to create your own
connection pool code that handles user/password connections.
-- but then the problem becomes you have a collection of
mini-pools for each user. i.e. if you have 200 users, you
end up with 200 connection pools with a couple/few connections
in each sub-pool. Kinda defeats the purpse.
So, apparently, everybody just deals with the single
"generic" user/password connection pool.

Username and password with Access and JDBC application

Hello all,
I have written an application which accesses a MS Access database. I have created a dialog which asks the user for a username and password. I then include the username and password to connect to the database. I have created groups and users in the Access database and have given each user different privaleges. However, when I run my application, any user can get any privelage. I am missing something. Thanks in advance.

Browser prompting for username and password to access enterprise manager.

I've just installed Internet Directory 10.1.4.0.1 and am having trouble connecting to Application Server Console in Enterprise Manager.
When I try to go to the url http://localhost:18101, a dialog pops up asking for a username and password. In firefox it says 'Enter username and password for "enterprise-manager" at http://localhost:18101'. IE6 just says, 'enterprise-manager'. I have tried various sets of credentials for this - my network userid and password; and ias_admin, orcladmin, sys and sysman, all with the passwords I specified at install time. None of these work. If I cancel the dialog box I get a '401 Unauthorised' page. I'm sure this is coming from apache and is basic web page authentication, and not an enterprise manager login.
Has any one seen this before?
I can connect through directory manager, and I can connect to the database console for the metadata repository.
emctl status iasconsole shows that it is running.

Contact your college network support. The syntax for specifying your authentication may be different than you usually use when you are just connecting there locally.

Changed icloud username and password can't access other devices

I have three devices from which I use the same iTunes and ICloud account. I changed my username and password on the accounts yesterday. Now I am only able to get it to work on my IPhone 5S. My daughter's IPhone 4 and my IPad will not accept the new passwords. I can't access FaceTime or IMessage on those devices as it keeps prompting me that it is incorrect and to reset. If I reset, it won't work on my IPhone 5S. Help!

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

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.

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)

HT5439 i can't access my university anyway, how can i add username and password?

i try to use this solution to apply my university proxy, but it dodn't work. Can u suggest me more about how can i add username and password?

You should be able to use the OpenVPN Connect app running on your iPad to connect your iPad to the VPN directly. It is an official OpenVPN client for iOS devices.
In what way is it "not compatible"? Have you tried it? Tunnelblick is an OpenVPN client, so your school's VPN is using the OpenVPN protocol. That means any OpenVPN client should be able to access it. (It is possible, but unlikely, that your school uses encryption that is not available on the iPad, but that would be very unusual.)
Otherwise, a remote control app on your iPad would let you control your Mac at home. "Back to My Mac", for example, would allow you to control your Mac remotely. The tricky part of this is that usually a VPN is set up to send all Internet traffic via the VPN server, and I'm not sure how that would work with "Back to My Mac".
