Automatically create ODBC DSN connection with powershell or GPO

Hi,
I'm trying to create a ODBC connection that has a special network port and also password automatically stored.
I have tried to do this with the add-odbcdsn cmdlet and adding attributes to a group policy object configuration without luck.
If I try to export settings with regedit and import them trough logonscript, the normal users dont have user rights to the LOCAL Machine hive.
Therefore I have tried to export a USER DSN instead, but either of the port or password settings are exported.
Please help.

Hello,
You can create a VB Script (.vbs) as the one create by Clamp77 on the following thread.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23552529/can-i-create-a-bat-file-to-automate-data-sources-adding-in-odbc-data-source-adm
Then you can run the script on computers using GPOs as explained on the following article.

Hope this helps.

Automatically create ODBC DSN connection with special port and password. Add-OdbcDsn cmdlet

Hi,
I first posted a question in the SQL forum but I'm posting it here instead because its a Powershell question.
In a non-persitent VDI enviroment we are trying to automatically create a ODBC DSN connection to a SQL server.
We are using Windows 8.1 so we also have Powershell 4 together with the add-odbcdsn cmdlet.
But when trying to add set -SetPropertyValue for network port different than default and a password we get an error.
here is the command:
Add-OdbcDsn -Name test -DriverName "SQL Server" -DsnType User -SetPropertyValue @("PWD=test", "SERVER=10.0.0.1")
and here is the error message:
Add-OdbcDsn : Attempt to set the {UID or PWD} key of a DSN. These keys should not be stored in the registry for securit
y reason. Provide the credential information at runtime via SQLDriverConnect, SQLConnect or SQLBrowseConnect.
At line:1 char:1
+ Add-OdbcDsn -Name test -DriverName "SQL Server" -DsnType User -SetPropertyValue @ ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (MSFT_OdbcDsnTask:Root/Microsoft/...SFT_OdbcDsnTask) [Add-OdbcDsn], Cim
Exception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MI RESULT 4,Add-OdbcDsn
NB!: this command does not contain a port number, but when adding it without a password(PWD string) we just the default port.

Hi Primeid,
Agree with Jrv, we cannot store UID and PWD in an ODBC datasource, For example, you can create a DSN using the user interface but if you look at the DSN stored in the registry the UID and PWD are not stored.
ODBC it is always required when you connect using a DSN that the caller supply UID and PWD if they want to use standard login during connection time.
These similar discussion are for your reference:

Client fails for not-integrated authentication
is user name and password required in ODBC admin / User DSN?
In addition, to read data from a SQL Server database using an ODBC DSN with SQL Authentication via powershell, please refer to this script:

but i am not getting clear idea to give parameters and it will not showing any TNSNAME ..........etc
please any body give clear idea about how to create ODBC connection and LOCATION of that file AND parameter which i need to give.
Thanks,
charan....

Hi Dpka,
yah i already checked that one but i have not find out any parameter for TNS NAME information.

Issue with creating oracle ODBC DSN connection

Hi all,
We have BO X! 3.1. We have created some webi reports. Our universe connection is created using following method.
= Created a DSN connection for oracle 10g database
= created Bo connection object by selecting Generic ODBC connection
= in the service name we have given DSN name and tested successfully.
we have created reports universe under Windows environment.
= Now we deployed Biar file of the same on SOLARIS server.
We have created odbc connection in odbc.ini on solaris.
we have used path "/../boxir3/bobje/odbc.ini"
We have used "/BOXIR3/bobje/enterprise120/solaris_sparc/odbc/lib/libsqora.so.10.1" driver
But when we test connection after deployment connection fails. giving error
" A database error occured. The database error text is:. (WIS 10901)"
Can anybody suggest me right method to create ODBC connection for oracle 10g on SOLARIS.
Thanks in advance.
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
You said your odb.ini is at the location "/../boxir3/bobje/odbc.ini". Verify if environment variable ODBCINI is pointing to this location. For this do a echo $ODBCINI. This should return the path of your odbc.ini file. If this command returns empty, that means this variable is not set. In this case you will have to set your ODBCINI using the below command.
If you are using bash shell
export ODBCINI=/../boxir3/bobje/odbc.ini.
if this does not work try
set ODBCINI=/../boxir3/bobje/odbc.ini
Thanks

Creating a TCP connection with SSL/TLS

Hi,
I am working in a application that depends on the server. I need to estabilish a TCP connection with SSL/Tls secure connection with the server in order to get the datas.
I have the following code structure :
- (id)initWithHostAddressNSString*)_host andPortint)_port
[self clean];
self.host = _host;
self.port = _port;
CFWriteStreamRef writeStream;
CFReadStreamRef readStream;
return self;
-(BOOL)connect
if ( self.host != nil )
// Bind read/write streams to a new socket
CFStreamCreatePairWithSocketToHost(kCFAllocatorDef ault, (CFStringRef)self.host, self.port, &readStream, &writeStream);
return [self setupSocketStreams];
- (BOOL)setupSocketStreams
// Make sure streams were created correctly
if ( readStream == nil || writeStream == nil )
[self close];
return NO;
// Create buffers ---- has not been released , so need to check possible ways to release in future
incomingDataBuffer = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
outgoingDataBuffer = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
// Indicate that we want socket to be closed whenever streams are closed
CFReadStreamSetProperty(readStream, kCFStreamPropertyShouldCloseNativeSocket, kCFBooleanTrue);
CFWriteStreamSetProperty(writeStream, kCFStreamPropertyShouldCloseNativeSocket, kCFBooleanTrue);
//Indicate that the connection needs to be done in secure manner
CFReadStreamSetProperty(readStream, kCFStreamPropertySocketSecurityLevel, kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNegotiatedSSL);
CFWriteStreamSetProperty(writeStream, kCFStreamPropertySocketSecurityLevel, kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNegotiatedSSL);
// We will be handling the following stream events
CFOptionFlags registeredEvents = kCFStreamEventOpenCompleted |
kCFStreamEventHasBytesAvailable | kCFStreamEventCanAcceptBytes |
kCFStreamEventEndEncountered | kCFStreamEventErrorOccurred;
// Setup stream context - reference to 'self' will be passed to stream event handling callbacks
CFStreamClientContext ctx = {0, self, NULL, NULL, NULL};
// Specify callbacks that will be handling stream events
BOOL doSupportAsync = CFReadStreamSetClient(readStream, registeredEvents, readStreamEventHandler, &ctx);
BOOL doSupportAsync1 = CFWriteStreamSetClient(writeStream, registeredEvents, writeStreamEventHandler, &ctx);
NSLog(@"does supported in Asynchrnous format? : %d :%d", doSupportAsync, doSupportAsync1);
// Schedule streams with current run loop
CFReadStreamScheduleWithRunLoop(readStream, CFRunLoopGetCurrent(), kCFRunLoopDefaultMode);
CFWriteStreamScheduleWithRunLoop(writeStream, CFRunLoopGetCurrent(), kCFRunLoopDefaultMode);
// Open both streams
if ( ! CFReadStreamOpen(readStream) || ! CFWriteStreamOpen(writeStream))
// close the connection
return NO;
return YES;
// call back method for reading
void readStreamEventHandler(CFReadStreamRef stream,CFStreamEventType eventType, void *info)
Connection* connection = (Connection*)info;
[connection readStreamHandleEvent:eventType];
// call back method for writing
void writeStreamEventHandler(CFWriteStreamRef stream, CFStreamEventType eventType, void *info)
Connection* connection = (Connection*)info;
[connection writeStreamHandleEvent:eventType];
`
As above, I have used
CFReadStreamSetProperty(readStream, kCFStreamPropertySocketSecurityLevel, kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelSSLv3);
CFWriteStreamSetProperty(writeStream, kCFStreamPropertySocketSecurityLevel, kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelSSLv3);
in order to make a secured connection using sockets.
The url i am using is in the format "ssl://some domain.com"
But in my call back method i am always getting only kCFStreamEventErrorOccurred for CFStreamEventType .
I also tried with the url "https://some domain.com" ,but getting the same error.
i also commented out setting kCFStreamPropertySocketSecurityLevel, but still i am receiving the same error that i mentioned above.
I dont know how it returns the same error. I have followed the api's and docs , but they mentioned the same way of creating a connection as i had given above.
I tried to get the error using the following code :
CFStreamError error = CFWriteStreamGetError(writeStream);
CFStreamErrorDomain errDomain = error.domain;
SInt32 errCode = error.error;
The value for errCode is 61 and errDomain is kCFStreamErrorDomainPOSIX. so i checked out the "errno.h", it specifies errCode as "Connection refused"
I need a help to fix this issue.
If the above code is not the right one,
**(i)how to create a TCP connection with SSL/TLS with the server.**
**(ii)How the url format should be(i.e its "ssl://" or "https://").**
**(iii)If my above code is correct where lies the error.**
I hope the server is working properly. Because I can able to communicate with the server and get the datas properly using BlackBerry and android phones. They have used SecuredConnection api's built in java. Their url format is "ssl://" and also using the same port number that i have used in my code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Mohammed Sadiq.

DSN Connection with Go Daddy Account

Can anyone help me with creating a DSN in Dreamweaver for a Go Daddy Account? The DSN is already created on Go Daddy, which is named access_DataSource.dsn and is located in a folder called _dsn.
I also have an Access DB named DataSource.mdb located in a folder called access_db. These 2 locations are required by Go Daddy.
I have always created DSN before with other hosting companies, but Go Daddy is different I guess...
Here's my connection.asp page:
<%
' FileName="Connection_odbc_conn_dsn.htm"
' Type="ADO"
' DesigntimeType="ADO"
' HTTP="false"
' Catalog=""
' Schema=""
Dim MM_ESDCheckDatasource_STRING
MM_ESDCheckDatasource_STRING = "dsn=access_DataSource;"
%>
It used to work with a different hosting company, but now I'm not sure what to do different here...
Thank you!

I've always used Web.com for my hosting provider. They let me choose my DSN name and select a database, which makes it easy. But Go Daddy, as soon as you upload your Access DB to they server, they create the DSN for you.
When I go in Dreamweaver to create my Database > Data Source Name (DSN), I select the option to Use DSN on testing server. When I click on the "DSN" button, it doesn't find anything...
I read some other posts online and looks like Go Daddy uses an unusual way of creating DSN...

Creating ODBC DSN for SQL Server in LINUX

When I test the connection ,i am getting the following error
+[nQSError: 16023] The ODBC function has returned an error. The database may not be available, or the network may be down.+
Can you please help in fixing this issue.I am not sure of the Drivers and the descrition that I am using are correct or not.
Please let me know the process of creating the DSN for SQL server in LINUX and also how can we check the available drivers in LINUX?
Thank You in advance,
S1r1

OBIEE does all of its data retrieval from the server. Your server needs to be able to query all of the data sources that you define.
The client is irrelevant here, it's just a web browser consuming data that the BI Server returns to it.
So yes you need to define connectivity from your Linux server to your SQL Server box.
The Systems Requirements doc (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10417.pdf) details DataDirect ODBC drivers that are provided for non-Widows connectivity to SQL Server

How to create a data connection with dynamic XML file?

Thanks for all reply first!
I have formatted the submitted data into an XML file on the server side,this file can be import to PDF form correctly.
I try to send this XML file to the user to let him can review what he has submitted.
I guess that I should create a data connection to the XML file so that it can be reviewed by the user.
But the question is that the XML file is dynamic generated.
How can i do?
give me some clus or examples,please.
thanks,
Jasper.

Hi Jasper,
To show user back the result, you can use PDF instead of XML. You can store the PDF template in server and you can merge XML data with PDF template by Livecycle Form Data Integration service.
We, as KGC, can generate huge number of Adobe Livecycle forms in small periods. Also we give consultancy on Adobe Livecycle ES products and Adobe Livecyle Designer. In case of any need, do not hesitate to contact us.

Create a Loolup field with PowerShell but Change the Default Display field

Hi
I am creating the a load of site columns with PowerShell. In the case of a Lookup Column I want to ensure that a the the industry column is checked programmatically.
$myField.LookupList = $spLookupList.ID
$myField.LookupField = $LookUpmyField.InternalName
As you can see there is no provision for a display name (Industry) which I want to display to the user once they select a lookup column
I just know somebody is going to suggest CAML !!!! Btw the code works but none of the checkboxes are selected as expected.

Enable Remote Desktop Connections with PowerShell

What is the easiest way to enable remote desktop connections on Windows 7, with powershell?

Use Shay Levy's "Remote Registry PowerShell Module", and modify the value of the "fDenyTSConnection" value in the
key "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" on the remote box to "0"
The Windows 7 box will need to be rebooted before it will take effect.
See http://oreilly.com/windows/archive/server-hacks-remote-desktop.html
Or, grab Michal Gajda's script "Enable-RDP.ps1" in the gallery :)

ODBC DSN Connection

Hi All,
I have a report that needs to connect to a local( to the server) DSN Connection on the Crystal Server 2008 and am having difficulty viewing the report. I am getting connection errors. My question is: How do I configure the report under "Database Configuration" to get it to connect to the DSN Connection on the server?
Thank you in advance.

Create the same DSN or the datasource name as on the server and update in Crystal reports using set datasource location. What database is it pointing to?
Thanks!

Is it possible create a new connection with oracle database in javascript or formcalc?

I need create a new connection, but it is necessary that I connect when the user click in a button.
Is it possible?
How can I do?
Thanks
