APEX_LDAP.AUTHENTICATE fails with accented user names after upgrade 4.2.1

Hello,
We have a support contract so I already escalated this to Oracle support (awaiting reply now). But maybe someone else also has this problem.
After the upgrade from APEX 4.1.1 to 4.2.1, one of our users couldn't log in any more into our application environment.
We use authentication against MS Active Directory by calling the APEX_LDAP.AUTHENTICATE function.
It took me some time to track down the problem. Apparently, the person with log in problems had a French character in his name ("é"), and this caused the APEX_LDAP.AUTHENTICATE to fail (it returns false, even when the user name/password are correct!). As a workaround, we replaced the "é" by "e" and now the user can log in again... This used to work fine with APEX 4.1.1!
Any one with the same issue??

Thanks Howard! I don't think our problem is related to the APEX Listener (we are using the older version 1.1.4). When I call the APEX_LDAP.AUTHENTICATE function directly from a PL/SQL block (so by bypassing the web server), the problem remains...

  • CC app manager update  failed with error code 50 after reaching about 35%

    Trying to update the CC app manager. The update is always very slow  (I have ATT DSL, lowest level) and I usually terminate it after an hour or so. Today I let it run and it failed with error code 50 after reaching about 35%. Any ideas?

    Update to my original post. I read through some of the suggestions that I found in other threads for fixing this problem, and it appears that this has been an ongoing issue. Numerous fixes have been suggested, some very convoluted, difficult, and involved, including those that came from the customer support folks.  I passed on those as this should be something simple. How Adobe manages to let updating of their own software turn into an ongoing problem is beyond me and sort of defeats the purpose of subscribing. I then noticed that a simple fix had been suggested a few times, so I tried that.
    The user suggested fix that worked for me was:
    1) Restarted computer (Asus Windows 7 i3 machine for me) in Safe Mode with Networking. Logged into my separate Admin account just in case.
    2) Started the creative cloud desktop app.
    3) The app said it needed to be updated. I hit the update button.
    4) Update started and proceeded slowly as it had in many previous failed attempts (I have ATT DSL at the slowest level, but it is not dial-up). Within about 30 min, the update succeeded.
    5) Restarted computer in normal mode.
    6) The creative cloud desktop app now did not say it needs to be updated, and I can update my other apps normally. Have not updated LR or PS yet, but plan to try. If that fails, I may try doing it in the Safe Mode with Networking.
    So, that was relatively painless and much much simpler than many of the other suggestions I saw. Do not know if it will work for everyone, but I wanted to post the fix that worked for me. Thank you very much to the 2 or 3 users who had suggested this fix earlier (sorry, I did not write down your IDs, but the threads can be found by searching for creative cloud desktop update fail error code 50). Hope this saves some people a lot of time.

  • How do I change the color of the users name after they sign in?

    I am trying to change the color of the users name after they have signed in on the top right hand corner. When you hove over the login it shows up "Welcome (Users name) Log Out", The "welcome" and "log out" are in white and I know how to change them, but trying to find out how to change the name so it appears a different color is getting the better of me. Please help.

    Hi blackroseuk7,
    You can use firebug to inspect the element to see what div to target and from there you can set the color with CSS.
    Hope this helps!

  • Tabular form - how to auto populate a column with the user name

    Hi,
    I have a tabular form with 3 columns - (customer name, notes, user). my users are allowed to enter customer details in the notes section... as soon as the user completes notes section and save the form, I want "USER" field to be auto populate with the user name so that I may track activity by the user...
    Please advice how to accomplish it...
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    After user saves the forms that means commit to the database, so you can simply write a trigger like:
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "AUDIT"
    before insert or update on TABLE1
    for each row
    begin
    :new.user_field := nvl(v('APP_USER'),user);
    end;

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • HT204053 I did not know my kids had set up an Itunes account for me with one user name and password.  then i got an i phone and set it up with a different email address and new password.  how can i get my accounts to merge so i can have all of my music on

    Quote: "You cannot merge two or more Apple IDs into a single one. You can, however, use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). See “Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases” above for details." See also Apple ID & iCloud FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    You can set up your iCloud account on your iOS device under: "Settings > iCloud" and a other account for store purchases under "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Unfortunately merging accounts is not possible but you could transfer all of your music manually via iTunes from your Mac or PC.

  • DRM-61026: Unable to create user session for the following reason: Login failed. Invalid user name or password.

    All Im very new to Oracle DRM and Im trying to get the app setup on Windows server running SQL Server 2008.  When I try to login to the Web Client I keep getting this error.
    DRM-61026: Unable to create user session for the following reason: Login failed. Invalid user name or password.
    Can you please help

    This might be due to The 'Oracle Instance' path may not have been set to a path relative to the 'CSS Bridge Host' (i.e. the Foundation Services machine) on the Configuration > Host Machines > CSS > General tab of the DRM Configuration Utility.
    if this is the case then
    1. Open the DRM Configuration Console.
    2. Go to the Configuration > Host Machines > CSS > General tab of the DRM Configuration Utility.
    3. Ensure that the path in 'Oracle Instance' has been set relative to the 'CSS Bridge Host' (i.e. the Foundation Services machine defined in 'CSS Bridge Host').
    4. If corrections are made to 'Oracle Instance' then restart the DRM services to pick up the change.
    Thanks,

  • Log on into the function module with different user name.

    hi,
            i log on into the system with my user id suppose 'mukka' and i have to check the authorization of another user say 'you' using the function module "authority_check_tcode". but here i am getting the problem that when i assigned sy-uname to 'you' and execute the function module it is entering into the function module with 'mukka' user name only.
    sample code:-
                                sy-uname  = p_uname.
        CALL FUNCTION 'AUTHORITY_CHECK_TCODE'  "#EC"
          EXPORTING
            tcode  = v_tcode
          EXCEPTIONS
            ok     = 1
            not_ok = 2.
    when i am changing the sy-uname with p_uname the sy-uname is changed but when i entered into the function module authority_check_tcode in the debugging mode at the below the sy-uname variable is showing  as 'mukka' only. but i need to check the authorizations of user 'you' pls give me solution to my problem.

    Hi,
    Why would you want to check the authorisation of another user and not the one currently logged in?  The idea of authorisations is to check the current user is able to perform a certain activity.  The majority of fields on SYST are constantly updated to have the correct values (partly so you can't fiddel authorisation checks like this
    Maybe if you explain to us what you are trying to do we can offer some other help.

  • Lost user data after upgrade bios in G580

    HI
    I have strange problem with Lenovo G580 with Windows 7. After upgrade bios to newest version and reboot my system start without any user data (no documents, no programs installed earlier), All reboot take short time, about 1-2 minutes. Only username stay the same.
    Is it possible that upgrade BIOS was bring recover system to factory?
    Does data can I recover somehow?
    I need help because there was important databases of company.
    Thanks
    Dariusz

    hi Dariusz,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    That's really strange indeed and very unusual as I've never seen a BIOS update delete a user's data before. Perhaps you're logged-in to a temporary user profile?
    To check if you're logged-in to a temp profile, show hidden files and navigate to C:\Users and check if you have an identical username with a dollar sign right next to it and apply this fix:
    Fix Corrupt Windows 7 Temporary Profile
    For data recovery, check these Free File Recovery Software Programs.
    Hope this helps

    Hi,
    Please Change your transfer settings in site manager from either default or passive to active it to see what's going on.
    Also, check IE compatibility mode.
    In addition, I suggest you install all latest updates for Windows since these updates will improve and fix some known issues.
