Database account locked as it tries to connect different ports for 16 times

I need a help in answering one of the issue encountered last week.
I have created a database link and tried to access the information from a table using the program written in another language. The password provided was incorrect for that user while creating database link. So we expected that,while retrieving the data, Database connection has to be errored out as password provided is incorrrect.
But unfortunately, user account was locked out. When i checked with DBAs they mentioned that it tries to connect 16 ports with in a min of time.we were shocked as it STOPS another scheduled jobs with that user. and affects production badly.
As per the program, it has to connect only one time and yesterday we tried to execute the program in DBAs observation and it errored out as expected. Didn't tried for multiple ports.
Now the question is, WHY the database connection established 16 times last week and caused user account locked. DBAs are unable to answer it. Any EXPERTs opinion on this would greatly appreciated.
I have verified managing ports in oracle documentation, it was mentioned that if one port is busy it will try to connect to another port in the range of ports mentioned during the installtion. DBAs verified ports related file and it was blank. and they are not agreeing with this reason. Please HELP me in finding the correct REASON for this.
is it a NETWORK issue or issue with DATABASE SERVER only?
Thanks

J_security_check, JAAS, password expiration, account locking and portals

J2EE form-based authentication will redirect an unauthenticated user trying to connect to a secured resource to a login page and will 1) send the user to the originally requested page upon successful authentication OR 2) send the user to the error page in the event of authentication failure. There are a couple of problems that I have with this implementation - not with j_security_check specifically, but with the pattern generally.
There are several events that a Portal must manage beyond simple authentication validation. Specifically
- Notify a user after successful authentication that their account has been locked and they must contact someone to get it unlocked.
- Notify a user after successful authentication that their password is about to expire and offer them a choice between changing their password immediately or proceeding to the requested resource.
- Notify a user after successful authentication that their password has expired and require that they change it before proceeding to the requested resource.
- Notify a user after successful authentication that they don't have rights to access to the requested resource even though they've been successfully authenticated and offer to redirect them to a page that they are authorized to access.
I am currently investigating a scheme to solve these problems by using servlets for the login and error 'pages', having these servlets forward to different .JSP's based on roles, and writing some sort of JAAS module to add an access (authorization) role based on the password and account lock status.
Has anyone else worked on this kind of problem? Are there any efforts to extend the J2EE specifications to handle these alternate flows in the j_security_check activity.
I'm frustrated with each of the different container providers handling the JAAS Authorization differently. Further, since the j_security_check doesn't discuss how the server tracks the original request, each container provider has used a custom mechanism for keeping the original URI as j_security_check activity proceeds.
One final gripe, since the J2EE specification does not specify how to deal with JAAS, and further define a mechanism to getting the Subject associated with the current ServletRequest, all providers have done this differently too. Perhaps this was avoided as a 'non-goal', but wouldn't it have been nice to state that 'should a provider decide to offer JAAS based security, the implementation must...'?

I understand this problem... I dont know whether I have term this as a "Feature" or a "Drawback".
I have handled this problem differently in my project.
Scenario: When user does normal login
1. User is displayed a home page. During this process, I create a session variable "Initialized".
2. I check for this session variable in all the pages. If this session variable is missing then I redirect to the home page which in turn creates the "Initialize" variable in the session.
Scenarion: Session time out happens in Page 3
1. User will be taken to login page.
2. Typically scenarion, when user is authenticated successfully, Page 3 is displayed.
3. I check for the session variable "Initialize" in Page 3. This "Initialize" variable will not be available due to session expiry.
4. I redirect my page to "Home Page" which inturn creates session variable "Initialize".
5. This solution solved the problem of showing home page when user does the login

How to configure security policies like account locking, account expiry in portal application?

Hi All,
Can anybody pls tell me how to configure security policies like account locking,
account expiry in portal application? By default, it has a 30 minutes lock period
after 5 retries. But if I want to set other values or want to unlock account of
a user, then what to do ?
TIA,

I have read the SSO admin guide, and performed the steps for enabling SSL on the SSO, and followed the steps to configure mod_osso with virtual host on port 4443 as mentioned in the admin guide.
The case now is that when I call my form (which is developed by forms developer suite 10g and deployed on the forms server which is SSO enabled) , it calls the SSO module on port 7777 using http (the default behaviour).
on a URL that looks like this :
http://myhostname:7777/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login?Site2pstoreToken=.......
and gives the error :
( Forbidden
You don't have permisission to access /sso/auth on this server at port 7777)
when I manually change the URL to :
https://myhostname:4443/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login?Site2pstoreToken=.......
the SSO works correctly.
The question is :
How can I change this default behaviour and make it call SSO on port 4443 using https instead ?
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance

Administrator account locked/password was changed

Hi All,
Administrator account locked/password was changed. Is there any way to see the logs to see when this happened or by whom?
Any way to lock this down then it can't be changed by another administrator account? Limit it so it can only be seen/changed by some people like A or B?

Account locked. I am not receiving an email to change my password. I have tried 4 times.

My Mother, over the weekend, managed to get her account locked after misstyping her email multiple times. This is not the first time this has happened, so she went through the process of trying to change her password, via getting an email sent to her from Apple. If you read the title of the thread, you'd see my problem. Here we are, 4 days later, and we've yet to receive an email from Apple allowing us to change her password.
I've applied for Apple to send us the email so we can reset her password multiple times, not counting how many times she tried over the weekend as she was out. I'd like to know why we're not receiving this email, because we've had to go through this process before, and it's gone without a hitch.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Sorry just finishing my jam sandwich.
I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Post your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether.

Email account locked

I had to delete my ISP email address from my blackberry 8700g otherwise it was locking up my email acct with my ISP. I could not connect to their server and download messages. No changing of any settings helped and I have had this phone with this acct for two years. Use Outlook 2007.
Any ideas why this happenned all of a sudden.
Ken

Just some of the things I can think of .....
You may want to key in the password you usually enter for your ISP email account on a blank note or email message to confirm that it appears correctly. If the BB device keyboard faulty, what you type could end up as something else, thus could cause account lock due to incorrect password.
You can try to ask the ISP to reset your email password, setup again to check if it happens.
If I've been helpful please consider giving me kudos. Please remember to resolve your thread .

LDAP account locking with Windows (smbldap)

We're running directory server 7 in our area and it's all set up and
working. We're using the smbldap-tools in conjunction to have the
directory server allow domain logins.
The main issue is that we want to enforce account lockouts after 5
failed attempts. When using the built-in password policy in the
directory server to do this, and a user locks their account, they can no
longer log into any of the linux systems (what we want). However, with
windows, a user can still log in with their current password, if they
type a bad password, they get an error saying there's a problem with
their account....so the locking doesn't work.
My theory is just that the LDAP server is preventing windows from seeing
some of the attributes once the account is locked...probably preventing
info from being written to the samba bad password count.
Do you know if there's a way to modify the LDAP server configuration
such that when an account is locked out, to modify OTHER attributes than
the defaults? So, if the directory server enables the lockout, it
modifies not only the pwdaccountlockedtime field, but also, say,
sambaAccountFlags?
Thanks for any tips.

We're running Windows XP systems. Unfortunately we're not running AD, but rather a Samba server, which is storing its information in the Sun Directory Server. I'm not sure if the Identity Synchronization will work with Samba or not. I can also take a look at this windows bug and see if maybe just changing the timeout on the old passwords. If that prevents people from logging in due to an account locking, good enough for me. I think the biggest concern is that we prevent users from accessing their accounts in the event they get locked.
Is what I'm trying to do possible with an ACI perhaps? I'm not familiar enough with the ACIs to know. So, basically IF the pwdaccountlockedtime flag OR the smbacctflag looks a certain way, prevent users from accessing any information from the LDAP server.

What you want to do is find out where the bad connection attempts are coming from and address that issue.

Account lock out error message

when the user account is locked out the ldap gives the standard 49 error, for both invalid password and even if the account is locked out. Is there a way to specifically configure it to give account lock out message instead of just the error 49.

Hi,
what you're asking should not be possible in terms of 'plain' LDAP Protocol; RFC 4511 (LDAP Protocol Definition), in [Appendix A.2|http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4511#appendix-A.2] describes the result codes that the server can return. According to that document (that is the current reference) 'err=49' means that the provided credentials are not valid. The standard LDAP protocol doesn't allow you to provide the additional information of 'why' the credentials are not valid using a different error code.
HTH,

Hi Balachandar P,
If you forgot or lock "Administrator or J2EE_ADMIN" password just follow below steps:
STEP-1: Enable "SAP*"
1.Start the Config Tool C:\usr\sap\<SID>\<engine-instance>\j2ee\configtool\configtool.bat
Ex: D:\usr\sap\F02\JC00\j2ee\configtool --> configtool.bat
2.Goto cluster-data --> Global server configuration --> services --> com.sap.security.core.ume.service
3.Double-click on the property "ume.superadmin.activated = TRUE"
4.Double-click on the property "ume.superadmin.password=<Enter any password ex: abc123>"
5.Save.
6.Restart the engine.
STEP-2: Login with "SAP*" into portal
1. http://<host>:<Port>/useradmin/index.jsp
2. Enter userid / password as" SAP* / <password ex: abc123>"
3. Search for "Administrator" user
4. Reset or change password for "Administrtor"
STEP-3: Disable "SAP*"
1.Start the Config Tool C:\usr\sap\<SID>\<engine-instance>\j2ee\configtool\configtool.bat
Ex: D:\usr\sap\F02\JC00\j2ee\configtool --> configtool.bat

Domain admin accounts locks out constantly

Hello.
My boss has a domain admin account that keeps locking out, and we can't figure out why. We can tell from the domain controller logs that krbtgt is the *offending* service, and it is coming from a sql server that we have. In looking over the server, we can't
find where any passwords might be stored that would be trying to pass this automatically. We've even manually removed any profile information for this account that we could find. If I reset the account, I can then log into the server with his account and everything
is fine, but after logging out the account locks again.
Does anybody have any ideas for how to fix this?
If it helps, the EventID is 4771 and the Status that gets returned is 0x12

I have something that can help you enabling netlogon logging on all DCs.
1. Make a list of DCs and save it in a text file called dcs.txt (you can do that by running netdom query DC).
2. Download psexec.exe from sysinternals
3. Then run the following to enable logging:
for /f %i in (dcs.txt) do psexec \\%i c:\windows\system32\nltest.exe /dbflag:0x2080ffff
4. Take the log files all in your place:
for /f %i in (dcs.txt) do copy /y \\%i\admin$\debug\netlogon.log .\%i.netlogon.log
5. then search for wrong passwords:
type *.netlogon.log |findstr /i 0xC000006A > badpasswords.txt
6. Disable netlogon logging:
for /f %i in (dcs.txt) do psexec \\%i c:\windows\system32\nltest.exe /dbflag:0x0
