Accessing secured Access database

I have been trying to connect to a Microsoft Access (Jet) database that has user-level security enabled. If I use the code below, I get a message saying "Not a valid account name or password". The username and password are the same as I successfully use through Access.
Any ideas?
try
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
String url =
"jdbc:odbc:securitytest;SystemDB=c:\\testdir\\Secured.mdw;" +
"User=myusername;Pwd=mypassword;";
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
catch (ClassNotFoundException ex)
catch (SQLException ex)

Based on the last time I tried this...
MS Access has two types of security
-Set a database password
-Set groups/users/passwords.
The only thing that I could get to work was when using the database password. The other type of security would not work.
This was a while ago. And the only way I know to track it down for certain is to investigate the ODBC calls and see how they work.

Mac being unable to sever connections and I can't access secure databases

Recently my university library underwent a security rehaul, since then I have been unable to access secure databases to do research for papers and the like. After resetting my browser, emptying my cache, and shutting down my computer, I am unable to sever my old connection to the library page.
The weird thing was I was in a chat with a librarian at the school at the time, and it never signed off even when my computer was shut down...
What do?

This will tell you if your apps are compatible:

HFM Access Security info thru API or Database?

In HFM running in the system 9 enviornment - is there a way to access the security info thru an API or Database. This is info that typically is availiable in the security extract and contains info like
!FILE_FORMAT=2.0
!VERSION=9.30
!FILE_FORMAT=2.0
!VERSION=9.30
!USERS_AND_GROUPS
!ROLE_ACCESS
etc.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

There is an item not really discussed in this thread which is OpenLDAP. Shared Services uses a product called OpenLDAP for certain tasks such as a repository for the Native Groups and Users. Additionally, if you have users tied in through a 3rd party sourch such as Active Directory, certain key information is found here.
For instance, when you look at the Security Access tables in HFM, you will notice that it does not reference the usernames by username rather by a unique ID key. This ID key translates back to the information in Shared Services OpenLDAP database.
This had the potential to causes issues when trying to make a development environment due to the fact the unique id's (SIDs) could be different for the exact same user. In order to retain security information between two different environments without having to redo the security, you have to synchronize the shared service databases to ensure the SID data was the same.
Shared Services has an import/export utility which helps with this task; however, the old versions would not export the SID!!! (whoops). Fortunately, the newer versions of this utility do infact export the SID values if you request it to do so.
In regards to the subject of this thread, you can get at the security information a few ways :
#1 - There is a Java API for Shared Services. I've tried to make use of it; however, I've found it a bit more complicated than I would like so I do not use this method.
#2 - Using the Application Client DLL's. There are vb samples of how to get basic information such as group membership, etc, etc if you have the SDK.
#3 - Database direct. As pointed out previously there are unique tables for each application which hold this data; however, you will also need to interface with OpenLdap to x-ref the SID values to readable usernames/groups. In regards to this, I was pondering making a utility to do this for people if there was an interest. I need the data as I do a quarterly user audit and I would prefer to automate this as much as possible.....

Hi,
This error crops up when the the folder usr/sap folder sharing is lost . We have recently faced this problem this is Windows OS level problem you can ask your OS admin. Applying a security patch will do.

What permission is needed for a login to access the restored database(backup from different server)

what permission is needed for a login to access the restored database(backup from different server)
frequently reach the situation, when vendor restores a database, but he cannot access it unless I remap or add his login to the restored database. What permssion can grant the vendor so that he can but only can access the database he restored, not all other
databases.

Hi George,
According to your description, When you move a database from one server that is running SQL Server to another server that is running SQL Server, a mismatch may occur between the security identification numbers (SIDs) of the logins in the master database
and the users in the user database. As other post, you can use the sp_change_users_login stored procedure to map SQL Server logins. Also , you can use the following statement after doing the restore database. It will
fix the mis-mapped SID inside the restored DB.
ALTER USER <username> WITH LOGIN = <username>
For more information, you can review the following article.

As long as you're unable to compile Java code, please use the 'New to Java' forum. This is really trival.
To ease writing, debugging and maintenance, I highly recommend you to write Java code in Java classes rather than JSP files. Start learning Servlets.

I just upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 and since the "lock" icon never appears when accessing secure websites, where should I look for it?

I just recently upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 and now the "lock" icon doesn't appear anywhere (I can find) when accessing secure websites. I haven't seen it once. It used to appear in the lower right corner of the screen. I also have Norton Internet Security.

Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button.

Access to MySql Database in the Web Service

Java Web Services Developer Pack 1.5,
MySql Server 5.0 and environment variables are adjusted...

but i have not access to MySql database in the web service yet...
please help...

Hi Luis,
If you see closely, the productID is actually a concatenation of the areaID and the productID. The reasoning here is that a product can be in multiple nodes of the product catalog and one would need to specify the product on a particular node for the direct URL to work.
On a client site, we came up with a better solution by creating a new FM to retrieve the specific areaID and productID for a product. This FM could be called by extending the webshop. Then a .NET program was written to re-direct a shortened form of the URL to the long URL and therefore the specific product in the product catalog. Eg.: http://yyyyy.com/b2c/b2c/product would be automatically redirected to http://yyyyy.com/b2c/b2c/init.do?shop=<shop name>&areaID=<area Guid>&productID=<product Guid>, something similar to the concept behind "tinyurl.com". A point to remember here is that this would work only for the B2C webshop.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Ashok.

Providing un-secured access to a web report.

Hello Experts,
We have been sending out 'Load Status' emails on a daily basis for various BW loads. Recently we discontinued this process and set up a report based on one of the statistics cube. We got out the link for this web-report to all the users in our daily load status distribution list.
The problem now is that when you click on the link, it pops out a window asking for the log-on information to our production system. But it looks like a few of the users do not have access to the production system and are hence unable to access this web-report.
Is there any way to allow un-secured access to this particular web-report to all users i.e.without a screen asking for log-on information?Is it possible to set up a generic user id for this report that allows all the users to access this report without actually giving them access to our production system?
Thanks
Arvind

Arvind,
What is your BI system version ?
if it is 3.x - then the URL will have a link to your server followed by a Question mark "?" and then some parameters.
The value till the ? mark is the Web service for the same - you can make this Anonymous in SICF but then this would mean that all queries can be accessed through this URL ...
else create an RFC enabled function module based on RRW3_Query_View_data and then use this for your query and expose the same as a web service and make it anonymous ... or have a BSP page to do the same....

Access MS Access database on remote computer (shared folder)

Hello,
I need some help.
I've made a program and it works fine on my computer, but multiple users will be using program simultaneously, each one on his own computer conected over local network to mine computer (database is on my computer in shared folder).
When I try to access data on database (path is path of shared folder) i'm getting error 5013 (no database). The problem occurs only when I'm trying to read something from MS access database but not if I try to read data from .txt file, then it works fine...
I'm using ADO Tools
Can someone help me, I would be very greatful?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks to you Dennis I've managed to figure it out.
I'll explain this for future generations
1) I've created DSN. To do that open ODBC Data Source Administrator:
- for 64 bit app C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe
- for 32 bit app C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
In System DSN tab click Add.. then choose Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) (If you do not have this on list download that drivers from web) --> FINISH.
Enter Data Source Name (mine is Test2) --> Select... --> now because the MS Access database is on shared folder on remote PC go to Network... --> Browse... and select that shared folder --> Finish. Now you'll see all .mdb files on that folder and you choose your database --> OK --> OK --> OK
2) Now in block diagram you connect string "DSN=your_dsn_name;" (mine was Test2) to ConnectionString connector of ADO Connection Open.vi
It worked for me.

Installing multiple instances accessing the same database

Hi,
I want to install two different instances of Oracle 10g in two different machines which will access the same database which will be stored in the shared storage.
Is it possible to install them without installing RAC? The instances will be one active and the other passive, so the services will be up in one server and down in the other and the switching (shutting down one server and starting up the other) will be manual.
Two servers will be running Linux and clustered in Linux level.
Does Oracle offers this solution without installing Clusterware software?
Thank you

> The instances will be one active and the other passive, so the services will be up in one server and down in
the other and the switching (shutting down one server and starting up the other) will be manual
Missed this part as I was thinking proper cluster and RAC.
This is neither. Yes, this can be done using two servers and shared storage.
Is it a good idea? Not really. As this configuration does not provide redundancy at physical database level. You loose that storage.. bye-bye database. Does not matter whether you have a 100 backup servers that can be used.
Thus the business reasons that you are trying to meet with this config have to be clarified and expectations determined.
Separate servers using Data Guard will be a far more superior solution in many respects.

Can't Access Secure (HTTPS) Sites On One Account, FF or Safari???

Hello Mac Fans
First let me say I'm new to Mac. On one account I can't access secures sites like I can in the admin account. This may be a function of rights but am not sure? All updates have been done.
I can't login to this forum, my MobileMe account or my bank for example. I had to change to my other account or gasp, use a PC to post this message.
I installed FireFox trying to isolate the problem to Safari but that didn't pan out, I can't get to HTTPS pages in FF either.
I turned off Little Snitch thinking I might have denied something by mistake but that didn't help. I checked the rules and found nothing that wasn't allowed.
Nothing was changed in the router. I just turned on Mac and it worked. The iMac is connected to the router via ethernet cable.
I've used the search function and tried a few things that have been recommended for others but they didn't help me. I went to the keychain and did a repair, although it didn't find any problem. I over rode a couple keys to always allow them (Apple site stuff) and I ran the disk utility to no avail.
For reference I will post the information for both Safari and FF.
Safari:
Safari can’t open the page “https://support.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/ACAuthWeb.woa/wa/login?
appIdKey=2ddbca23a85d20e5bf7478812379ae23&path=/login.jspa%3FsuccessURL%3D/index .jspa” because Safari can’t
establish a secure connection to the server “support.apple.com”.

rl=” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “auth.apple.com”.
FireFox:
The connection was interrupted
The connection to support.apple.com was interrupted while the page was loading.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I've done a lot of snooping around on this forum and have ran out of ideas so now I must ask for help.
Thanks

I think I may have found the problem. It's embarrassing to find it minutes after posting the message yet I tried to solve it off and on for three days! My brother who is a 20 year Mac user has been trying to help me too. I guess it's true what they say... sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. LOL
I turned off the parental controls. What I don't understand is that the no website restrictions box was checked. To me this means I should be able to go to any site I wanted. Can anyone explain why I couldn't got to a HTTPS page on a parental controlled account even though there were no restrictions placed on it?
It's late and I need sleep. I'll leave this open for now until I have more time to test it.

How to assign read only access for a database to a single user?

Hi All,
I have created a login for one of the user , and i used deny view to deny that user access to any of the databases to be shown.Now, he cannot see any databases in the explorer window.
My question is now i want to give this user permission ( read-only) to a single database. How can i do that? I have googled around and found some solutions but nothing is working.
Can someone please help me with any suggestions.
Thanks a lot for your time and suggestions in advance.
Thanks

Hi Bhanu,
Thanks for your reply, I am not sure i got it. I have a user created with the name of 'msam_test' and if i login into management studio with this userid and password i dont see any databases showing up because i used the DENY View command to hide which is
working fine.Now i just want to see only 1 database named 'suresh3_test' with a read only access to this database.
I tried using your code in the below way
USE [suresh3_test]
CREATE USER [<msam_test>] FOR LOGIN [<msam_test>] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
exec SP_ADDROLEMEMBER 'DB_DATAREADER','<msam_test>'
But i receive an error saying
Msg 15007, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
'<msam_test>' is not a valid login or you do not have permission.
Msg 15410, Level 11, State 1, Procedure sp_addrolemember, Line 75
User or role '<msam_test>' does not exist in this database.
Can you please help me on this.
Thanks
