Active Directory special symbols into OID

we are having dificulties to import special symbols in user accounts into OID from Active Directory.
Any suggestions?
TIA

Have a look at Metalink note 102940.1
The setting of the charset might be applicable when importing the data in your scenario.

Oracle Discoverer 10G and mapping Active Directory to use SSO/OID

Could anybody point me please to the right direction?
1. I've setup Oracle 10gIAS but turned off SSO and my users running discoverer /portals with no SSO.
2. My goal is to turn on SSO and synchronize it with Active directory on the windows box.
Thanks you in advance

Hi Randy;
As you mention all notes refer to SSO&OID for Active Directory integration.AFAIK there is no way to do it, please log a Sr and confirm this wiht oracle support

Oracle Enterprise User, OVD and MS Active Directory (AD)

Hi,
I need to authenticate Oracle Users from MS Active Directory.
If I create an Oracle Enterprise User, can I just use OVD or do I need also OID ?
If the answer is YES, I just need OVD do I need just to install OVD or do I need any other installation from OIM in order for it to work?
Thanks in advance for answering this post : )

Hi,
I am not sure that you are correct.
In the meantime, some one mentioned a white paper to read: "Directory Services Integration with Database Enterprise User Secuirty. In page 10 it mentions a scenario: EUS deployment using Active Directory and OVD
(without OID).
The cons mentioned are: Need to extend AD schema to include EUS meta-data (which I am not sure how its done).

OID and MS Active Directory Synchronization

Hi,
I've read that these 2 LDAP services can be synchronized with the "Active Directory Connector" SO does this mean that if users and groups are stored in the MS active directory it is possible to have the users and groups synchronized with the OID so that these are available directly in Oracle Portal or do they still need to be added manually somehow into portal ??
Thanks in advance,
Brandon

OID and Active Directory

1 Does Oracle OID integrate with Active Directory to synch data with Active Directory periodically?
2 Marshall data from Active Directory on demand (live link)?
3 Does Oracle Single Sign-on solution work with multiple directories (i.e. OID and AD both being used by Oracle Single Sign-on)
4 Can Oracle Single-Sing-on work with a Desktop login into a Domain (also called NT Authentication or Desktop authentication).

This is what I have to share with you....For further details refer link http://otn.oracle.com/products/oid/index.html and Oracle Internet Directory Administrator's Guide.
1 Does Oracle OID integrate with Active Directory to synch data with Active Directory periodically?
For synchronizing from Microsoft Active Directory to Oracle Internet Directory, you need to track changes in Microsoft Active Directory and configure your Active directory connector giving its URL, user account and password to be used by the Active Directory connector, its DIT info on domain which contain the users/groups. And in the Active Directory synchronization profile you'll have to set the mapping rule.
2 Marshall data from Active Directory on demand (live link)?
Yes, its possible to migrate data between directories. Configure your Active Directory connector and External auth Plug-in. And use the Directory Integration and Provisioning Assistant.
3 Does Oracle Single Sign-on solution work with multiple directories (i.e. OID and AD both being used by Oracle Single Sign-on)
Yes, its possible. When a user tries to log in, the OracleAS Single Sign-On server tries to verify the credentials the user enters against those stored in Oracle Internet Directory. If the user credentials are not there, then the Oracle directory server invokes the Active Directory external authentication plug-in. This plug-in verifies the user credentials in Microsoft Windows. If the verification is successful, then the Oracle directory server notifies the OracleAS Single Sign-On accordingly.
4 Can Oracle Single-Sing-on work with a Desktop login into a Domain (also called NT Authentication or Desktop authentication).
Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On enables native authentication, also called autologin, in a Microsoft Windows environment. Once logged into the Windows desktop, the user automatically has access to Oracle components. OracleAS Single Sign-On automatically logs the user into the Oracle environment using user's Kerberos credentials.

Db10g external password authentication from Active Directory via OID

HI ALL
- i have a synchronization AD-to-OID (OAS 10.1.2 (Infra)cold failover cluster, 2 nodes)
- i have external authorization of AD users via SSO (external authorization plug-in)
- i have RAC DB(10.1.0.3, 2 nodes) enterprise authorization of OID native users who have their passwords in OID (global schema)
- but i cann't configure DB autorization of AD-to-OID synchronized users who don't have their passwords in OID
error:
ORA-28274: No ORACLE password attribute corresponding to user nickname exists.
i.e. those users are not recognized as users with external passwords.
Any ideas, please ...

I've gone through that thread a few times already, but it only covers infrastructure based on Sun JDS, which seems to pose less problems than Active Directory. Many others refer only to hand-compiled OpenLDAP installations which are quite different to configure... sigh
I have, however, managed to get the base system running - meaning I can see Solaris ask LDAP for locally unknown user and group names - but all I get back is Unknown Object.
Here's a snoop dump of one of the failed requests, in hope someone here can shed some light on the problem:
request from my server to the LDAP box:
LDAP: [Base Object]
LDAP: ou=people,OU=Austria,DC=AT,DC=OurADdomain,DC=com
LDAP: [Scope]
LDAP: wholeSubtree
LDAP: Equality Match *[3]
LDAP: [Attr Descr]
LDAP: objectClass
LDAP: [Value]
LDAP: posixAccount
LDAP: *[3]
LDAP: [OctetString]
LDAP: uid
LDAP: [OctetString]
LDAP: myusername
reply from the LDAP server:
LDAP: [Error Message]
LDAP: 0000208D: NameErr: DSID-031001CD
LDAP: , problem 2001 (NO_OBJECT), data
a) our Active Directory 2003 R2 with the default Unix schema does not seem to implement the objectClass=posixAccount attribute, although the documentation on MSDN suggests that attribute should be there. I'm atm about to get some MS guy to solve this..
b) The base object DN seems to always get prefixed with ou=people - why? I didn't enter that field with ldapclient, and that orgunit does not exist in AD per default. How can I prevent Solaris from modifying my search path in that way? I think this is one of the reasons why I keep getting no-object-errors.
c) Our AD doesn't seem to offer a way to create/modify the unix object classes shadowExpire, shadowFlag and others for password management. Are those strictly necessary - i.e. will I run into new problems with those if I managed to solve a) and b)?

Cannot log into DTR with Active Directory User

Greetings,
I have set up and installed JDI correctly. I can log into /devinf, the cbs, cms and sld systems with no problem using both Administrator and my JDI.Administrator that I assigned to an Active Directory user. I can log into the DTR using a user from the database (i.e. Administrator), however, when trying to access the DTR with an Active Directory user, I get the following message:
500 Internal Server Error
SAP J2EE Engine/6.40
Application error occurred during the request procession.
Details: Error [javax.servlet.ServletException: Group found, but unique name "businessUnit.all.guests" is not unique!], with root cause [com.tssap.dtr.server.deltav.InternalServerException: Group found, but unique name "businessUnit.all.guests" is not unique!]. The ID of this error is
Exception id: [0012798F81680042000000090000165C0003FE9AA3C0B86B].
This group exists in multiple domainshowever, this has not caused us any issues to date with our portal and other pieces of SAP WASit's only this DTR error.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Marty

Hi Marty,
In the document available at the link enclosed below, there is a part that explains how to configure DTR so that it always uses "Unique-IDs".
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/20/f4a94076b63713e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
It is mentioned that this is valid for LDAP, but the information is applicable for Active Directory as well.

Active directory to oid sync

hi all,
recently i've been given the assignment of sync one Active Directory to one OID.
Said so seams easy .....
...... so I installed a fresh copy of Win2000 adv server with Active Directory PLUS another Win2000 adv server with Oracle AS infra.
Then a got a copy of this document:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_as_10g/im/ads_import/import.htm?_template=/ocom/technology/content/print
unfortunately the "dipassistant" command at the end of the document comes out with an error:
dipassistant ERROR: DIP_GEN_UNKNOWN_FAILURE
I also looked on metalink for some help, and I found the note n. 267153.1
At the begining of the document it is explained how to verify if it possible to read the "container": cn=users,dc=domain,dc=com
Running an ldapsearch on the Active Directory is usefull for verifying any access issues.....
The command does not come out with errors, but it also does not come out with any output (I put few users on the Active Dir).
Thank you in advance for the time

Thanks Andres,
I tried to query the Active directory in the way you said ....but nothing !
ldapsearch
-p 389
-h adhost
-D "cn=Administrator,cn=users,dc=domain,dc=com" \
-w "mypassword"
-b "cn=users.oracle.com"
-s base "objectclass=*"
and in these formats too:
(-b "dc=users.paan.com"
-b "cn=users,dc=paan,dc=com)
I'm really lost, what else could be wrong ?
I'm wondering if there is anything missing from the document i'm following for the Sync.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_as_10g/im/ads_import/import.htm?_template=/ocom/technology/content/print
Conceptually the syncronization seams to be a straighforward process, but in reality I find it quite complicated...........maybe i'm missing some key information.....
Any ideas to suggest ?
thank

Apply OID search filter for Active Directory Export Sync Profile

- currenlty we have active directory export profile working successfully
- the filter we apply at OID side is SynchronizeToAD!=OID
that means synchronize all ldap data that has a attribute value other than "OID"
- This works very well
Problem:
- We now need to make the export sync work based on a different condition. The condition being....
SynchronizeToAD=AD3 ( Note the equality condition here, the previous one was not equal to )
- The moment we set it to the above conditions it seems to invalidate the filter. Now it behaves as if there is no filter. All changes are synchronized regardless of the attribute value
Question:
1) Need a way to control synchronization based on attribute value.
2) So far tried the below filter value with out success
2a) (&(!(SynchronizeToAD=OID))(!(SynchronizeToAD=AD)))
2b) SynchronizeToAD=AD3
- In the directory we have 3 values for this attribute(SynchronizeToAD) - AD , AD3 and OID
Please provide us with valid search filter to accomplish the above.

Changes in Microsoft Active Directory Services into a file

I am in need of sample code to capture changes in Active Directory services into a flat file.
Here is my requirement:
I would like to capture user information changes from the Active directory server into a flat file.
For an example, When a user is newly created in Actives Directory Server, I need to Capture that user info and write into a flat file. Similarly for update and delete user in Activer Directory server, i need to capture the changes and write into a file.
Would appreciate, if any could help me on this
Thanks in advance
Thanks

Oracle 9i/10G DB authentication using Active Directory (with out OID)

Hello All,
We want to use a Single-Password authentication scheme using the Active
Directory as the primary source for userId/Password.
We don't want to use the Active Directory and OID bridge.
As we have many databases and would like to configure all Databases to use Active
Directory for Authentication. Our goal is to have single id/password across all
the databases and any user should be able to login from any computer using their
windows id/password, note that we don't want to use the OSAuthentication.
We have read the documents provided by oracle for authentication using Active
Directory, we were able to create Oracle Schema in Active Directory and were
also able to register a DB with Active Directory and then created user as global
user in Oracle Database and provided the DN of the user. When we tried
authenticate with all this setup it comes back and says invalid ID/Password !!!
And with 10G database we get the Oracle Error ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel !!
Has any one tried or have information on Integrating Oracle to Auth against Active Directory?
Envoirnment:
Oracle DB Version: 9.2.0 and also tried on 10.0.1 with same results
Operating System: Windows 2000/ Windows 2000 Server
Constraint: We don't want to user OID ( as we don't have license for this
product ! )

I have a thread started similar to your request.
OS Authenication on Windows
Somewhere I read this. It works on Oracle 9i on Linux, but I have not tried it with Oracle 9i on Windows.
SHOW PARAMETER OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX;
SHOW PARAMETER REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT;
CREATE USER OPS$SOMEUSER IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
GRANT CREATE SESSION TO OPS$SOMEUSER;
For the username, I wonder if we are supposed to put the Windows Domain name as part of the username? Such as, for a Windows domain user MyDomain\SomeUser
CREATE USER OPS$MYDOMAIN\SOMEUSER IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
I really wish Oracle or somebody created a guide or book on how to do this.

Active Directory exports to OID (concerning password storage)

I dont know if this is answered somewhere else but I am hoping to get an answer from people who have synchronized OID to active directory already.
My question is do the AD passwords get stored in OID along with all the other user information during the sync? I know you must use an external plugin to authorize users against their passwords that come from AD.
I am just curious about this since it will probably be an issue for me down the line. Thanks!

Hi Seth
Its your choice. If you are using the External Authentciation feature in OID it is not necessary to store AD passwords in OID.
Keep this in mind about password synchronization between OID and AD. Currently all attributes are capable of two way synchronization between OID and AD except one. That is the users password. It is possible to synchronize a password from OID to AD but not from AD to OID.
This is primarily becaue Microsoft uses proprietary password hashing called "Unicode Password Hash" which as I said is proprietary to Microsoft. OID like most other LDAP servers supports open source password hashing such as MD5, MD4, SHA, SSHA and Crypt to name a few. Microsoft does not support any of these to my knowledge. So even if you could pass a user password from Active Directory to OID OID does not support MS password hashing.
We are however able to synchronize passwords from OID to AD over SSL. This is done with a feature called "Reversible Encrypted Password". By default this feature is turned off. When you enable this feature OID will store the users password in two different attributes. One is the traditional "userpassword" attribute which uses the hashing schemes I mentioned earlier. The other is a password attribute that stores the users password in an encrypted format that can be reversible to clear text. This clear text password can then be sent over SSL using a wallet to the AD server.
In version 10.1.3 (Mid 2005)of OID we plan to release a feature that will allow passwords from AD to be synched with OID. Until then Passwords can only be synched from OID to AD.
