API Sample to Remove User password

I am new to the api for adobe. I am wondering if anyone has a sample of using an API program that would remove the User Password from a set of pdf files? (FYI - They all have the same password. )

The Acrobat SDK is a tool for automating Acrobat, nothing else, so it
can't be used to make completely standalone tools.
Next question: what is the user environment?
* A user, who owns Acrobat Professional, will run it as needed
* A user will run it automatically on their own files as they need it
(each user will need Acrobat Professional)
* No real user as such, this is an automated process on a server

Changing user password in Active Directory using the JNDI GSS-API/Kerberos5

Hello,
I am trying to the JNDI GSS-API to change a user password on an Active Directory Server 2003. I have seen a variation of this using SSL on the thread [*http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=592611&start=0&tstart=0*|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=592611&start=0&tstart=0]
but I can't seem to make this work using the GSS-API. I can successfully create a javax.security.auth.login.LoginContext.LoginContext and then call the login method on it to log in as a user. I then call the javax.security.auth.Subject.doAs() method which calls the run method in a class extending the javax.security.PrivilegedActionClass. But when I actually try to change the password using InitialDirContext.modifyAttributes(), I get the exception:
*javax.naming.OperationNotSupportedException: [LDAP: error code 53 - 00002077: SvcErr: DSID-03190DC9, problem 5003 (WILL_NOT_PERFORM), data 0*
*If anyone can help me figure out why it doesn't work, that would be great!*
P.S: I know the error seems to suggest that there might be some active directory setting that is preventing this from working, but I've checked all relevant settings on the Windows 2003 server Active Directory that I can think of: In the User properties->Account->Account options, I've made sure the user can change password. Also, in the Group Policy->Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Security Settings->Account Policies->Password Policy, Maximum password age is zero and so is minimum password age.

This is one of the two Active Directory operations I have never solved using Java/JNDI. (FYI the other one is Cross Domain Move).
My gut feel is that the underlying problem (which happens to be common to both Change Password & X-Domain Move) is that Java/JNDI/GSSAPI does not negotiate a sufficiently strong key length that allows Active Directory to change passwords or perform cross domain moves when using Kerberos & GSSAPI.
Active Directory requires at a minimum, 128 bit key lengths for these security related operations.
In more recent Kerberos suites and Java versions, support for RC4-HMAC & AES has been introduced, so it may be possible that you can negotiate a suitably string key length.
Make sure that your Kerberos configuration is using either RC4-HMAC or AES and that Java is requesting a strong level of protection. (You can do this by adding //Specify the quality of protection
//Eg. auth-conf; confidentiality, auth-int; integrity
//confidentiality is required to set a password
env.put("javax.security.sasl.qop","auth-conf");
//require high strength 128 bit crypto
env.put("javax.security.sasl.strength","high"); in your ChangePasswordAction class.
You may also want to enable sasl logging in your app to see what exactly is going on and you may also want to check on the Java Security forum how to configure/enforce/check both RC4-HMAC or AES is used as the Kerbeos cipher suite and that a string key length is being used.
Good luck.

User password reset

I need to reset user's password using API. What would be the package/api name to update user password? Can I use fnd_user_pkg.setreencryptedpassword?

User password maintenance

People,
I know this is an old favourite but I can't find a definitive answer. In my web app I want to provide the user with a page for changing their password. I don't want to use the OID manager web site. So, unsurprisingly I am looking for an API to maintain user passwords (either Java or PL/SQL).
To date all I can find in the docs is the command line utility to do it. The docs say about creating an entry.ldif file like so:
dn: cn=audrey,c=us
changetype: modify
replace: userpassword
userpassword: audreyspassword
Issue this command to modify the file:
ldapmodify -p 389 -v -f entry.ldif
I've not tried this yet, so I am not sure if this even works.
Is there a Java or PL/SQL api to change a users password in the OID? If so what is it called?
Thanks in advance
James Hayward

Hi guys!
This would be my 1st posting at this forum. Hopefully you guys could lend me your expertist in the subject matter.
I'm involved in enterprise portal development using Oracle 9i Application Server. Right now I'm developing an external application which connect thru the portal. The logon authentication for this portal is using SSO thru OID (Oracle Internet Directory).
The requirement for my external application is to have the same logon information as the portal itself. Is there anyway that I could validate the encrypted password in OID? Better still... are there any Java API that could do this?
It's been 2 weeks long I've been wandering around the internet looking for a solution... and the dateline is upon me! Thanks for any help out there.

How to change Analyzer user password with Administration API?

Hi, I would like to change Analyzer user password with Administration API. Can someone post some sample commands to do the task? I would just like to write an application to change end user's Analyzer password. As I see I would need to do the following: 1. login with admin userid/password 2. execute some method to change password for required userid. I think the input parameter should be userid (of the user I would like to change password) and new password (the new password for the user). 3. logout Can someone post some sample code (commands to execute)? Thanks, grofaty My system: Analyzer Server 7.0.1. Essbase server 7.1 Windows XP SP2 

<blockquote>quote: <hr>Originally posted by: knightrich Hello Mr. Jordan. I would like to exchange some thoughts about "housekeeping" Analyzer reports in preparation for migration from Analyzer 7.0.0.0.01472 to 9.x: ... Did you solved such a problem or do you have an idea if it could be solved with the Admin API methods? ... Migration from 7.00 to 9.x: As we heard last week the "Migration Wizard for Reports" in 9.3 should be able to migrate reports. Do you have experience or more detailed information about that Wizard? Many thanks in advance knigthrich<hr></blockquote> knighrich, I'd like to be more help, but I have no experience with System 9. I did substantial cleanup when we migrated from Analyzer 6 to Analyzer 7.1, and even more cleanup when moving up to 7.2, but our installation is smaller in scale than yours and we didn't need to automate report cleanup. You might be able to get the ownership information you need through the back door, doing a direct query on the database, but simpler might be an export users, at least from 7.0. (This facility probably doesn't exist in system 9; it was dropped in 7.2 in favor of an undocumented API) The export file is an xml file that could easily be parsed to identify reports that have the administrator as user and then a second pass to delete those with otuer ownership as well. As previously suggested, you might be able to get this by a well crafted SQL query against the repository. Procedurally, we have both public reports that have the blessing of management and are widely available, owned by a "public owner", and private reports developed by indivdual users and shared or not. Our team maintains the public reports, but not the private reports. We may be asked to make a previously private report public and take over maintenance of it. I hope that you can find a solution that meets your needs. Certainly a call to customer support to identify a poorly documented feature would be in order.

OIM Client application development using OIM API, when user password is not available

I am developing a cleint application for OIM. The client application is a set of services, running on a separate server from where OIM is running.
The OIM version used is 11gR2.
As I look into the oimClient object, the login method takes username and password. As my application is in an SSO environment, I do not have the password for the user, and just have the user's login ID.
If I am correct, the tcUtilityFactory allowed a digital signature option, to support scenarios like the above.
Question is, does oimClient support similar functionality? I did not find any examples in the Oracle documentation.
I will appreciate if someone can confirm a similar usage and provide me some sample code and configuration details.
Thanks.

GP API - remove user dynamically for a task..

I am having dynamic looping for an action, users assigned in every level.
I am able to add user dynamically for an action using:
rtm1.addRuntimeDefinedUserToRole(prInstance1, Next_Action, userJames, userContext1);
Change user does not work as it will work only for running actions or tasks, for pending one it will not
rtm.changeTaskProcessor(processInstanceID, activityInstanceID, currentProcessor, newProcessor);
remove user is not working for me? suggest me how to use this code?
IGPProcessRoleInstance processRoleInstance=executionContext.getProcessRoleInstance();
processRoleInstance.removeUser(UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUserByLogonID(UserId));

Hi
I tried using the following for my process where the action is yet to happen
I am calling the BG CO before my action. I need to remove the previous user.
rtm1.removeTaskProcessor(prInstance1.getID(),activityInstanceID, userContext1);
rtm.changeTaskProcessor(processInstanceID, activityInstanceID, currentProcessor, newProcessor);
processRoleInstance.removeUser(UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUserByLogonID(UserId));
but nothing is working.
any idea when we can use them? I think changeTaskProcessor will not work for pending tasks.
I am able to get the activityInstanceID from NWA -> GP Processes, but my GP Process is having dynamic loop where the task will generate depending on levels. How can we get the activityInstanceID of the next task/action?

How to read weblogic user/password within a J2EE app ?

All,
There is an J2EE that exposes a webservice and the service can not be secured with ws-security since the service is an exact implementation of an standard that does not mandate ws-secutiry and only insists on SSL/TLS. The application however needs a legitimate authenticated weblogic user for the rest of its work and hence the app has to read a known user created in the weblogic and then read its password as well and authenticate within the app and use that authenticated subject. User can create this predefined user in weblogic and we may ask user to store the same weblogic password also in a CSF like OPSS and then have the app read the CSF, but since the password is available in the weblogic internal ldap, we want to leverage that and read the user's password using any of the weblogic mbean's APIs. Can anyone provide a pointer on how to read a user's password within the Weblogic's embedded ldap ?
We referred to this Developing with the User and Role API - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) & 6 Managing Security Realms with JMX but could not successfully get it working with J2EE app (Servlet/Filter).

You can use JMX

How can I remove PDF password?

Hi guys, recently I've got a really annoying problem at work. Some of my PDFs can not be copyed, edited or printed. I know that's because they're secured but how can I remove the password? Any idea to work out the problem?

Hello,
As there is no any C# solution ,I would like to psot some sample codes to achieve this.
using Spire.Pdf;
using Spire.Pdf.Security;
namespace modify_PDF_passwords
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
//load a encrypted file and decrypt it
String encryptedPdf = @"..\Encrypt.pdf";
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument(encryptedPdf, "e-iceblue");
//reset PDF passwords and set user password permission
doc.Security.OwnerPassword = "Spire.PDF";
doc.Security.UserPassword = "pdfcomponent";
doc.Security.Permissions = PdfPermissionsFlags.Print | PdfPermissionsFlags.FillFields;
//Save pdf file.
doc.SaveToFile("Encryption.pdf");
doc.Close();
//Launching the Pdf file.
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Encryption.pdf");
Anyway ,it is a PDF component based solution,which works pretty fine for me.

Unable to add/remove users in Mountain Lion Server (Options are greyed out)

For some reason, im unable to add/remove users in Mountain Lion server. The + and - are greyed out. It seems like something is wrong with the permissons because it looks like it cant write the the Ldav3 file (although that may be speculation). Does anyone have any advice for me? I URGENTLY need to add users.
Maybe theres a way to restore default permssions for the boot drive (if that in fact is the issue). Hopefully there is a way that I can fix this while leaving all users, groups, their permissions and shares intact.

Anything interesting and relevent in the server logs?
Anything interesting in the server alerts?
Since it's far and away the most common cause of problems with OS X Server and with distributed authentication (Open Directory is entirely based on network encryption and digital certificates and on responses from your local DNS server(s)), verify your local DNS configuration is working and requires no changes with the following Terminal.app (Applications > Utilities) harmless, diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
sudo requires an administrative password. You might get a one-time warning about the sudo, and that can safely be ignored. The command will display some details, and indicate whether the local configuration appears valid and no changes are required, or further diagnostics for (most) common errors that can arise.

[SOLVED] How to get sudo and kdesu to honor my user password?

Hi folks,
Well, I must be missing something. I think I've tried everything listed here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=143487 and in the referenced links, but I still have the problem of my system rejecting my password for some uses of sudo and kdesu but not others. I've included my /etc/sudoers file below.
My problem may be due to screwing around with users: I started out using bruce (1000), then switched to bbraley (1001), then deleted bruce in kusers, then changed bbraley to 1000. When that created more problems without solving the original one, I switched back to 1001. I've played with adding and removing my user from groups, including creating a sudo group, making sure I am a member of wheel group, etc.
What seemed to be everyone's magic fix,
pacman -S pambase
didn't work when I tried it successfully with my bbraley password, then later, when that began failing, using the root password. pambase reinstalls, but there is no resulting change in the behavior of sudo.
Side question: Most of my experience is with kubuntu in which I never created a root user and never had any trouble having my user password work with sudo or kdesu. Is there a reason Archwiki beginners guide suggests assigning a separate root account and password?
Can anyone help?

Trilby wrote:I've never used the targetpw setting, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the problem. With that setting, if you want to run something as root (the default use of sudo) then you'd need the root password, not the user password. Comment out that setting, and the next line.
I had never used it, either, but I misread some reference and thought it might help. Since you say it causes the behaviour I'm trying to eliminate, I will get rid of it, as suggested. However, the behavior preceded my addition of this line in the file, so I don't think this will correct the problem. Edit: Removing it kept the root password from being universally required (I can now edit /etc/sudoers using my user password) and returned it to requiring it sometimes (I still need the root password to use kdesu).
As for some other distro not having a root account, that is simply impossible. There was a root account. If you didn't have the password for it, then that installation was severely crippled.
Sorry, you're right. I should have said that kubuntu does not expect users to assign a password to the root account and instead expects primary users to access that account's privileges via su, sudo, or kdesu only.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
By default, the root account password is locked in Ubuntu. This means that you cannot login as root directly or use the su command to become the root user. However, since the root account physically exists it is still possible to run programs with root-level privileges. This is where sudo comes in - it allows authorized users (normally "Administrative" users; for further information please refer to AddUsersHowto) to run certain programs as root without having to know the root password.
Thanks for responding to my request for help. Any other ideas?
Edit: Here's what I keep getting that only accepts the root password, not my user password

How can you create a customized page to change user password?

Hello to all,
I would like to create a customized page for a user to change their password. We are using Portal version 3.0.9 on Windows NT/2000. Currently there is a page in portal where a user can change their password.
I tried linking to that page by copying the shortcut url and adding it as an html portlet. The problem is that we want to direct the users to a
page of our choosing when they click on the "cancel" and "ok" buttons. I read in the forums that there is a selfreg.cmd script.
I also read that there is some code that has been available.
Has anyone implemented a customized user password change page? Do you know of any links that might have steps to follow or
more informatioin?
Thanks in advance,
Lindsay

I've customized the login page too if you would like some sample code for that. Let me know.

User is not able to change his own password... Only DBA can change users password ??

Hi,
I have this problem today.I am using Oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris 2.8
A Oracle user say " SCOTT" trying to change his password but could not.. he gets the followling message
SQL> alter user scott identified by abc123;
alter user scott identified by abc123
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28003: password verification for the specified password failed
Scott's profile has password_verfiy function. Hence i thought abc123 password was not matching with the password verify condition. Surprisingly, what ever password SCOTT tries with, he could get the same error message and could not change his password.. Ultimatly SCOTT could never change his password. How is it possible ??
It is noteworthy to mention that if i give DBA role to SOCTT then he can change his password with abc123 or any thing that satisfies with password verification function.
Now Only a user who has DBA role or a DBA could change passwords..
Can somebody through some light on it and explain what corrective action to be taken so that Users can change their password without DBA's interreption.
Thanks in advance

This is the description of the error message:
=============================================================================
ORA-28003 password verification for the specified password failed
Cause: The new password did not meet the necessary complexity specifications
and the PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION failed.
Action: Enter a different password. Contact the database administrator to find
out the rules for choosing the new password.
=============================================================================
it clearly says that password has to match the complexity specifications. You will not be able
to change password without meeting the complexity requirements.
DBA's can make the change to the password because if DBA's can not change the password, it could lock
you out of the database (all users including the DBA's) and you will not be able to access the
database.
Try removing the password verify function and see if you can then change the password succssfully.

hi Prakash,
The verify password function is standard oracle function and I do not think the current problem is any way related to the rules that were framed in verify password function. The key point here is a user could not change his own password. But a DBA or a user who has ALTER USER system privs.. can do so..

2011 17" MacBook Pro freezes for over 5 mins on user password

Hey everyone,
I installed Yosemite on my 2011 17" MacBook Pro. Since then, after a period of my computer being on or after sleep, it appears that the process that handles login using my user password hangs for a bit and then proceeds to work.
On the login screen, after I enter my password, the focus is drawn off of the password field, and then the computer just sits for what seems to be about 5-7 minutes. This also happens when OS X asks me to enter my password to install / uninstall something; the login window just sits there and does nothing.
It doesn't happen right after a restart, and it seems like it happens more often after the computer goes to sleep and wakes back up, or has just been running for a while.
A couple other possibly related problems is that my system will sometimes just start to slow down and every app will slowly become unresponsive, sometimes to the point where I have to use the power button to do a hard reset. Also I've noticed that my system won't remember that I set my screensaver to "never" but will reset itself to "15 minutes" (which is annoying, because after I come back from the screensaver, my system takes a long time to log back in).
I can't do a system reinstall right now, and I've tried to do PRAM resets and disk repairs. Maybe I'm googling the wrong words, but I've searched and I can't find threads with my exact issue.
Can anyone help? Thanks!

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
