Application users changing passwords

Is there a simple way for application users to change their passwords? I can see that the owner of the application can do it but it makes more sense for the individual users to maintain their own passwords.
Thanks,
Greg

Greg,
this depends a lot on your user management.
In the sample application a custom authentication scheme is implemented where the users and their respective passwords are stored in a custom table (demo_users).
From there on you can easily have the users manage their own passwords.

Obiee 11g How to let user change password

obiee 11g How to let user change password ？
i not mean use weblogic console。 normal user how to change password。

With 11g, OBIEE essentially uses the 10g notion of external authentication.
By default, this is done by the WLS (Weblogic) LDAP identity store, but it may be done by another supported Authenticator either within WLS, or in the OBIS meta data (i.e. Custom Authenticator or LDAP). As such, OBIEE no longer has any control over user passwords; this is why the steps referenced in note 1102353.1 do not apply to OBIEE 11g, but only to internal/repository-defined users in OBIEE 10g.
So, as with password maintenance in OBIEE 10g when an external authenticator is used, it is within that external authentication system that password is changed, not within OBIEE 11g. There is no option in OBIEE 11g to allow users to change passwords.
There are two work-arounds with which you can change your password:
1) From the Weblogic administration console/WLST.
You need to give such user access into Weblogic console or access to browse through involved MBean hierarchy and other modify permissions. Changing the password using WLST instance is covered here:
Ideally, the console and WLST approaches are used by Administration accounts to manage other users. But the console and WLST can be made to allow other users to change passwords (which will be more or less like carrying out an administrative task by users themselves)
2) Using a programmatic approach.
Here the application that intends to provide password change functionality to its users should implement this functionality on its own (GUI plus call to the relevant Weblogic API). Weblogic provides an MBean that the application can use to accomplish this. See here for more information.
An enhancement request exists for this functionality. This is unpublished bug 11836170 - enable non admin users to change passwords in obiee 11g.

How to enable users change password in obiee 11g?

Is there anyone know how to enable users change password in obiee 11g?
And I have tried the method in obiee 10g, bu it didn't work.
Any help would be appreciate.

As per I understand your requirement,
In your Dashboard create a Presentation variable which receives the value of year you select.
Now in your analysis, select the year column along with all the measures you want (Actual, plan, Forecast, and what-if, etc).
Create a filter on Year column and convert it into SQL. Put the condition as:
"Year" BETWEEN @{Presentaion_Variable} - 1 AND @{Presentation_Variable}
You will get the result for selected year and the previous year.
Hope it helps..

How to Enforce User Change Password First Time User in Release 2?

Hi...
We discovered in Oracle Directory Manager(in unix is oidadmin), there actualy
column to expiry date.(the default is 60).
We follow this notes in metalink..
Note:176470.1 Subject: How To Pre-Expire Portal Passwords
Even though the note is for Portal30(release1), we just wangt to try it in our Release 2...
Extract from the note
"3. Set the value of the column LAST_PASSWD_CHANGE_TIME in the table WWSEC_PERSON$ in SSO schema to a value older than the password expiration period (default is 90 days) before the current time (e.g. sysdate - 100) for the appropriate user(s)
4. For example, if you have created a user called TEST
you would issue a command such as:
update wwsec_person$
set LAST_PASSWD_CHANGE_TIME =sysdate-70
where USER_NAME='TEST';
commit; "
But, when we try to login again in the portal, we can still login...
So, is the function still exist in Release 2?..
If not, why Oracle Portal throw that function away?
Why there still columns in WWSEC_PERSON$ that maybe linked to the password problem?
can anybody help/explain?
Thanks....

Rather than rehash what has already been thoroughly discussed, check this thread. This should answer your question.

Java.lang.NullPointerException in end user change password page

Hi All
I need to notify a user whenever he changes his password. when i log in to the user page and change password i get java.lang.NullPointerException.
Any ideas???
Help is appreciated.
Thanks

What exactly are you clicking on in the end user page? Your problem could be a number of things. You can get this error when the xml in a file it is referencing is not properly formed. e.g if you had not properly closed a tag in a config file.

User change password after first logging in Oracle 11g

Hi
Can you help someone in connection with this problem:
user can not change password after first logging in Oracle 11g
All the best
Ragip Avdijaj

Sounds like they are not getting logged in at all, so they are never getting to the point where they can change the password, but we need to see more detail to give a better answer (an example or copy-paste of a sqlplus session might help)

Users changing passwords within LDAP authentication

Hello all,
I've noticed that if a user uses the 'Membership' authentication to access the portal, they are allowed to change their passwords within the 'user channel' edit section.
If a user logs in throught the LDAP authentication, this password utility disapears.
1 - Is there a way to use this password utility when using LADP authentication? Is it just a setting somewhere??
2 - What are you using to change password if you are using LDAp authentication? i.e. did you create your own password tool??
Thanks in advance,
Jason

Here's how I did it on 6.0:
I created a bookmark with these properties:
Bookmark Name: Change Personal Settings
URL: /amconsole
When the user clicks on the bookmark, they have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the window to find the change password option. After changing the password, the user should close the amconsole window WITHOUT clicking on the logout button. Just kill the window.
If they click "logout" it will log them out of the Portal Server while leaving the desktop window open. It will look like they are still logged in but they are not. They will have to re-login.

User Change Password

User Password changes:
Ex. Custom Oracle FORM Button Trigger to force DB change Password.
-- Force an alter user statement to the database.
-- sys.verify_password function will verify.
Cmd_Line := 'Alter user "'||:CHANGE_PWD.USER_NAME||
'" identified by "'||:CHANGE_PWD.VERIFY_PWD||'"';
FORMS_DDL(cmd_line);
IF NOT Form_Success THEN
NOTE(DBMS_ERROR_TEXT); -- display Ora error message
raise Form_Trigger_Failure;
END IF;
Ex. Customize SYS.Verify_Password function sample to return an Error MSG.
Set for user in Profile, enforces password change syntax rules.
-- Check for a no space
isspace:=FALSE;
FOR j IN 1..m LOOP
IF substr(PASSWORD_VAR,j,1) = ' ' THEN
isspace := TRUE;
GOTO endsearch4;
END IF;
END LOOP;
<<endsearch4>>
IF (isspace = TRUE) THEN
raise_application_error(-20003, 'Password cannot contain spaces');
END IF;

...So what is the question???

AUDIT action (create, delete, privilege escalation, set and change password from users account and group) users and admins in Solaris 10

Hello.
in Solaris 10 i need auditing process create, delete, privilege escalation, set and change password and etc... from users account and group.
I set settings:
in file syslog.conf:
*.info;mail.none;cron.none;audit.notice            @IP-Remote-syslog-server-SIEM
in file   /etc/security/audit_control:
dir:/var/audit
flags:lo,ad,ex,cc,am,no,fc,fd
minfree:20
naflags:lo
plugin:name=audit_syslog.so;p_flags=lo,ad,ex,cc,am,no
in file   /etc/security/audit_user:
root:lo,ad:no
Now I see in the logs only the fact of a connection via SSH and run processes on behalf of users. Creation. delete users, change passwords for some reason do not is logged.
Many users. For each individual write permissions in the file /etc/security/audit_user not possible, it is likely to forget any new user (or there is a possibility in this file one line to describe the audits for all accounts?)
Where is the mistake?

You are most likely hitting Bug 15779000 user/role/groupadd/mod/del don't audit their use.
And the fix is only available in S11.2.

Why is Change Password is bypassing my customization?

Hi,
I have a web service that will allow users to change their passwords. I created an iView, which calls this web service and this iView is currently able to let users change passwords. I would like to next customize my the change password screen from the logon.par, so that when an account's password expires and gets prompted with change password, my web service is called. I know that the logon.par is using the SAPMLogonLogic class and there is a performChangePassword() method in the class. I have customized the function, exported the class in the umelogonbase.jar, included the jar in my logon.par and deployed that par file. However, when I tried to test this, I find that the change password is NOT calling my customized code. It is somehow calling the original functionality, which is puzzling...
I hope what I said is not confusing...but can anyone enlighten me on why this is happening? Shouldn't the logon component be executing my customized code? I customized the performResetPassword() method and the method is working fine..
Thank You.

I have just found out that the default changePasswordPage.jsp's action URL is not called when the submit button is clicked. Very strange.

Change Password Provisioning to AD fails

OIM 9.0.3 is used for provisioning user data to AD. The OIM Administrative and User Console is customized to be a helpdesk UI for administrators and self-service UI for normal users. A user ID that is in a System Administrator User Group logins into the OIM Administrative and User Console, it is able to see all administrative tasks, e.g. user management, whereas a user ID that is in a All User Group logins into the same console, it can only see My Account->Change Password.
Here are two Change Password processes that we want to have in our system.
1. Administrator changes password by clicking the 'Change Password' button in the User Details' page. Password can be changed in the OIM database and the new password will be provisioned to AD, i.e. an AD attribute 'unicodepwd'. It works fine in this process.
2. Normal user changes password by clicking the 'Change Password' in 'My Account'. The new password cannot be provisioned to AD successfully. Actually there is even no write operation in the AD, as the value of 'whenChanged' attribute is never changed if we try to change a user password in a self-service UI.
This is quite strange, as we configured two special tasks in Process Definition in Design Console, i.e. 'Change User Password' and 'User Password Updated', we also added an entry in Lookup.USR_PROCESS_TRIGGERS as: CODE Key=USR_PASSWORD, Decode: Change User Password. Process 1 works, whereas process 2 does not.
I found some other similar posts in the forum, but none of them had such a problem. Whenever there is an update in OIM, the change should be provisioned to the AD. I don't think it matters where the user's password is changed, correct? But it doesn't work! Anyone has ever met this issue before? Thanks!

The transport of a changed password from the USR form to AD is a two step process.
First you trigger a task that moves the new password from the USR form to the AD process form. This is done by Lookup.USR_PROCESS_TRIGGERS.
In step two you move the password from the AD process form to AD. This process is triggered by a naming convention. Any task called "<LABEL> updated" will be triggered if the <LABEL> field on the process form is updated.
If you change the name of your AD process form -> AD task to "Password Updated" it will trigger.
The "cascading" part of the password change process is the same no matter how the password change was initiated.
Best regards
