Auto_master, mounting afp shares without username/password in plain text?

Hi,
i'm trying to mount afp-shares from a Synology Diskststation and an Airport Time Capsule via the automountd.
I've modified the /etc/auto_master as follows:
# Automounter master map
+auto_master            # Use directory service
/net                    -hosts          -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home                   auto_home       -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/Network/Servers        -fstab
/-                      -static
/Synology               /etc/auto_afp   -nosuid
I've created the /etc/auto_afp:
iTunes -fstype=afp afp://"Username":"Password"@DiskStation.local/iTunes
Data -fstype=afp afp://"Username":"Password"@AirPort.local/Data
Providing Username and Password works fine, but is there a way to make this work without the Username and Password in plain text?
Thank you.

An applescript application set as a user login item should be a better choice.
I'm just about to work this out for an SMB mount of a users Windows home (augmented AFP homes are breaking preventing the 'Mount UNC path' option in the AD plugin).
Post back if you still want info.

Essbase start scrtipt without admin password in plain text

Hey all,
I'm securing my system and one final step is the Essbase startup script.
At present its doing:
startEssbase.sh {my_admin_password}
which isnt particularly secure.
How can I secure this so that I either don't have to have the password in plain text or the password is not passed in at all ( which normally makes it start up in foreground mode)
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions

In the Essbase admin guide it explains how to hide the password on a Unix server. Click the link below and search for the following term, "Hiding Essbase Server Passwords". There is a sample script to secure the password.

Howto access Apex through dbms_epg without username/password ?

I had just setup HTMLDB using dbms_epg (htmldb_epg_config.sql).
Now i'm unable to access http://localhost:port/htmlb via http without username/password.
Granting anonymous access to xdb repository doesn't help. I'm able to access http://localhost:port without username/password, but then i try http://localhost:port/htmlb - no go.
How can i enable http access to http://localhost:port/htmlb without username/password ?

We are using 10.2.0.2 EE Edition and decided to try Apex without use of standalone Apache.
I've already done that while running dbms_epg_config.sql
declare
l_cfg xmltype;
begin
dbms_xdb.cfg_update(xmltype.appendchildxml(dbms_xdb.cfg_get(),'/xdbconfig/sysconfig/protocolconfig/httpconfig', xmltype('<allow-repository-anonymous-access xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb/xdbconfig.xsd">true</allow-repository-anonymous-access>')));
exception
when others then
select updatexml(dbms_xdb.cfg_get(),'/xdbconfig/sysconfig/protocolconfig/httpconfig/allow-repository-anonymous-access/text()','true') into l_cfg from dual;
dbms_xdb.cfg_update( l_cfg );
commit;
dbms_xdb.cfg_refresh;
end;
I'm actually able to access repository without supply username/password.
The troubles begin as sun as i try to access /htmldb - it wants password for HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER account before i can proceed.

Mount AFP Sharepoint without login

Hello
Is it possible to get an AFP Sharepoint without logging in? I know its an oxymoron, that is why i did not use the word "mount".
The sharepoint must be accessible to a Leopard Server, which I do not want to have him logged in all the time.
Best regards
K.

Sure. Under Settings in AFP go to Access and click the Enable guest access box. Then go to Share Points and browse to the specific share point(s) you want to share, click on Share Point (next to the Permissions tab below), click on Protocol Options, and under the AFP tab click on the Allow AFP guest access.

Mounting AFP share under devices

Hey guys,
So this one I've been searching for an answer to for weeks on end with no success.
I have tried so many different things it's not even funny anymore.
Basically, I work at a private college where our students use InDesign CS5 on MacBook Pro's.
Our students currently have to save their work to the desktop, and then manually move it to the Student Dropbox(an afp share on the os x server) if they wish to share anything.
A temporary solution I came up for this was for them to drag the AFP link to the Devices pane in Finder, therefore allowing InDesign to see it as a device and save straight to it.
The problem with this though, is that they have to do this each and every time, and our students aren't all the most computer literate.
Is there any possible way to mount the drive on login AND have it appear under the devices pane automatically?
Cheers,
Brodie

An other solution is
create an file (you will need root-rights)
sudo nano /etc/auto_afp
and insert the following text
/Users/%username%/share -fstype=afp afp://username:[email protected]/share
but i don't know if this work in lion

Publish ESB without username/password of connection using Jdeveloper

Hi,
I have used jdeveloper10.1.3.3 to developer BPEL Process and ESB services.
I have created a Application Server Connection in jdeveloper with hostname, url path and RMI Port right, but without username and password.
I have created a Integration Server Connection mapping the connection above. I tested this Integration Server and the result was:
Application Server: FAILED
BPEL Process Manager Server: OK
ESB Server: OK
After the test of Integration Serve Connection , I tried register my ESB project using the action "Register witn ESB" from Jdeveloper and the result was the error:
"Reload services from ESB Server failed while trying to query service definitions from server."
After the registry, I saw in the ESB Crontol that the ESB Service was publish.
Question:
Is possible resgistry a ESB service with URL connection correct, but without username and password of Application Server Conncetion from Jdeveloper?
Is there any configuration for validat of username and password of Application Server Connection in the publish of ESB service?
Is a bug of jdeveloper?
Thanks,
Fabrício.

Hello. I'm pretty sure you cannot register an ESB with no username/password - it uses the username/password information in the integration server connection properties to login and deploy. We were surprised that BPEL uses ant build properties so you can specify the name/password, ESB does not - it only uses the integration server connection info.
In 10.1.3.4 (which we don't have yet) the ability to use ant for ESB deploys has been added.

Goto Responsiblity Page without Username/Password !!

Hi all,
In 11.5.10.2, Is it possible to go to the Responsibility page without issuing the username and password?
In 10g Application server we are able to do this by adding the following line in
formsweb.cfg under ORACLE_HOME/forms90/server:
[example]
userid= test/test@db_name
After saving this file we restart the forms service.
see the url below:
url : http://host-name.domain-name/forms90/f90servlet?config=[example]&form=<location_of_main_form>.fmx
Now we are able to access the forms and it wont ask for username/password.
Is it poosible to do the same in 11.5.10.2 ?
Thanks,
Mahesh

Mahesh,
There is no supported way to pass the application username/password and skip the main login page. You can pass the username only in the application URL by adding "username=<username>" to the application URL.
What is the point of accessing the responsibility page without entering the username/password?
Regards,
Hussein

Connection without username, password or database name

I'm trying to find an automated way (for a given dbms) to check whether a server name and port number correctly identifies that the given dbms is running at that location.
For example, in MySQL, I can do something like:
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://" + serverName + ":" + port + "/");
So, I havent specified a username, password or database name. And this works (at least on my installation) by simply checking for an exception.
My question is: Can I always rely on this for MySQL or does it depend on how the MySQL dbms is configured?
What about MS SQL Server and Oracle?
Any help, much appreciated.

Your question was "Can I always rely on this for MySQ"No it wasn't. My question was:
"Can I always rely on this for MySQL or does it depend on how the MySQL dbms is configured?"
Its the bit between the "My question is: " and the question mark. I understand that if you chop the question in half then "no" is a valid answer but then thats not the same question.
and the answer is[i] No! If your abilitydepends on the MySQL configuration then the answer to
your question is still No because it means you
can't always rely on it.
Wrong again!
If I was to ask "does it depend on how the MySQL dbms is configured?" then the answer is yes.
I think "No, yes" is a better answer to the question. Although I think masijade answer is best.
But anway, thanks for your constructive reply.

FTP Adapter - Avoid Password in plain text

Hi,
When we configure a FTP adapter in FTP Oubound connection pool we enter password. The password is stored as plain text. It is visible to all users (even to a users who has just monitoring access). Can we have the password in protected mode.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Create credential mapping under the security tab of the FTP adapter in the deployment section of weblogic console.
Thanks,

WDTV LIVE will not connect to network share without a password

I followed "Method 1" from mike27oct post entitledHow to resolve "Network shares" access problems with WDTV media players. The WD Live recognizes the computers but continues to require a username and password.

If you followed Method 1, be sure you adjusted the settings in the WIndows settings, too, be sure Windows is still not requiring a password. Double check all the steps you followed which I provided in the thread.I double checked your instructions and also realized that I had to except the "anonymus" login and the default password. Now I am able to link to the computer on my network. It also shows a list of folders but some of the listed folders are really not on my computer. My movie/video m2ts files are in my video folder. I keep getting a message that their are no media files available.

Mounting AFP share takes ages

Hi,
I have an issue with my AFP network share on my QNAP TS-410 NAS.
With OS X Lion it takes ages to mount shares on my NAS. Once a share has been mounted, it gets very quickly disconnected again. This makes it virtually impossible to work with that NAS.
I haven't had those problems with Snow Leopard. The QNAP is already running the latest firmware which implements “AFP DHX2 support”.
Any ideas how to debug this issue are greatly appreciated.

QNAP firmware 3.6.0 works under Lion, but for AFP to work, you may need to delete some of the old hidden files nested within top level folders on the NAS.
See my post in this thread.

POP authentication without username/password ??

Is there a way to disable authentication (authentication/password) in POP (incoming mails). Our mail client does not provide user info for authentication.

Got it. Uncheck the access login checkbox in IMAP.

Cannot mount NFS shares using the Finder

Hello all!
I have a directory structure on a OpenSuse NFS Server which I like to browse/read using my MAC OSX 10.5.6. It works like a joy when I am mounting the NFS share on the command line using "sudo":
sudo mount -o resvport nfshost:/full/path/NFS/share /My/mount/point
However, this is kind of unconvenient as I need to start Terminal and sudo always asks me for the root password. I would appreciate to mount the NFS share just as I mount afp shares using the Finder. But the NFS share is neither searchable using the Finder nor does it show up in the list of host in the side bar of the Finder.
Does anyone has an idea how to solve that? Thx for your information!

The problem is most likely that your NFS server requires that connections come from reserved ports but you can't connect that way from the Finder GUI.
Your example:
sudo mount -o resvport nfshost:/full/path/NFS/share /My/mount/point
shows that you need to use "-o resvport" and that you need to do the mount as root. (This is because the networking stack requires you to be root to get a reserved port.) When you try to mount it via the Finder, you can't specify any mount options like "-o resvport" and even if you could the mount would fail because the Finder isn't running as root.
My first suggestion would be to change the configuration of your server to not require clients to use reserved ports for the NFS protocol. Unfortunately, Linux chooses to call that option "insecure" even though requiring the use of reserved ports (using "secure") doesn't actually make NFS more secure.
Alternatively, you could configure the mount to be performed by something that does do the mount as root - e.g. automount/autofs. You can do this by configuring the mount on Directory Utility's "Mounts" section... you'll want to add "resvport" to the "Advanced mount options" field.

Copy from AFP share to AFP share (via VPN-Connection) - stupid?

Hi there
We set up an OS X server in a remote facility and are connecting to it over a VPN connection (Netgear Firewall).
Everything works fine, there's only one annoying issue: if I want to copy a file from a mounted AFP share (share1) to another mounted AFP share (share2) - both of them residing on the same server - it seems to me that the files are being copied first to my local client and then back to the server again - instead of being copied directly from and to the server...
Is there anything I can do about this issue or am I wrong? Is this a so called "feature" of the Finder itself?
Thanks for any suggestions and regards
Roman

Thanks for your thoughts about higher vs. lower latency networking - I totally agree. It might be a quite uncommon setup; as the server is being "housed" in a datacenter with quite tough restrictions: not only do they charge us for the power consumption, but also for the traffic being generated - which is 250 GB a month. They're providing an uplink with 10mbps (guaranteed), burstable to 100mbits.
Anyway, we're interested in keeping traffic low - hard to do if we cannot let end users do "common" tasks like moving files from one folder to another (of course, its a sharepoint - but they don't care).
What I'm looking for? Well, I think it will take hours to find out which part of the setup (AFP implementation of the server, AFP on the local machines, either of them on a particular version, the Finder in general...) actually might be responsible for this behavior. And maybe there's a "solution" (if you agree that this is actually a problem" buried somewhere

Is it possible to have an AP that doesn't ask for username & password?

Hi,
I have been asked to take some APs to factory default and leave them without username & password.
I don't have the devices with me at the moment and I don't remember if that is possible, as long as I remember when you take them to factory default the username and passwords are set to Cisco. But actually I need to leave them without username and password.
By the way the APs are AIR-LAP1242!
Any help is much appreciated.

So in conclusion it is possible, right?
Yes and no. Yes, it's possible. No, it's not possible just by simply doing a factory default/factory reset. This solution is a two-step process.
After leaving the AP whithout user/pass when I Telnet/SSH the IP address of the AP, I won't be prompt to type username/password, right?
Again, yes and no. Yes, you WON'T be prompted. NO, you CANNOT remote into a Cisco appliance (Telnet or SSH) UNLESS you have a username and password.
