BO 4.0 retrieve user password

Hi all,
Is there any way how we can find out the password of a particular user in BO 4.0 CMC? In case the user forgets the password then only an administrator can reset the password?
regards,
Sridhar

Passwords are hashed, for details on usage of cryptography in BI4.x you can refer to this link here.
http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog/2012/02/11/encryption-data-security-in-bi-40
Storing a password for the purpose of authentication in a format where the original password can be retrieved is very bad security practice and not something we do.
As others have said above, you can have someone reset it. BI has a concept of delegated administration, so you can create specific users who will have rights to administer users and reset their passwords, without requiring full administration rights. To do this, grant rights to the special user administrator on the user that they will administer (or on the user management section in CMC, click 'manage top level security' and assign the rights there.).
Even better is to connect to your active directory/LDAP and setup single signon to avoid password management all together.

Can I use my existing E-mail address to retrieve my password reset through security questions

Can I use my existing E-mail address to retrieve my password reset through security questions instead of through E-mail. When I try retrieving my new Apple password through reset through security questions? On the Apple id, it will not allow me to do so becasue I forgot my security answers to the question. I'm naming one or two of the wrong vechiles which is what the questions ask me for for security questions.
For icloud do you reccommend that I keep that same E-mail address or create a new one for my iCloud mail aside from my G-mail address name?
I asked support community for the very first time to reset my security questions and it wanted me to create a new user name for iCloud when I already have *****l for my original Apple id.

TheresaEW,
I’d recommend contacting Apple directly to resolve your security question issue.

Hi Namit,
Have you installed a credential file to your ADSServer?
This is required to apply the usageRights onto the PDF.
You need to install the ReaderRights credential file. Follow the steps from this URL:
Re: Interactive form application error
Make sure that the password and the expiry date of the ReaderRights credential file are valid.
Hope this helps.

OBIEE 11g Active Directory Presentation Service Error retrieving user

Hi Team,
It was a great help from all of you on our OBIEE learnings.
I recently configured Microsoft AD on Weblogic rather than RPD. But felt like I am in a desert of helplessness due to the complicated and lengthy documents and settings :(
Still when I configured everything and logged in to presentation services using AD Credentials, observed following error!
Error retrieving user/group data from Oracle BI Server's User Population API.

Total blockout! Anyone faced this issue earlier

You need a user to be present in your Active Directory Base DN that will be used as the BISystemUser. You will either have to create this user in AD or use an existing AD user and then specify its credentials in Enterprise Manager (expand Weblogic Domain > bifoundation_domain (right click) > Security > Credentials). You will need to set system.user credential under oracle.bi.system map. Make sure your AD user's password never expires or you will run into problems in a few weeks time!

How to retrieve user name from a given Subject?

I am in a situation where I need to retrieve user name from the Subject that is populated when user logs in. I have the active Subject and I do following to get the principals in the subject and iterate through them:
Set principals = subject.getPrincipals();
Iterator ite = principals.iterator();
while (ite.hasNext()) {
Principal prin = (Principal)ite.next();
String name = prin.getName();
But this contains all the principals, including user name, roles, password, etc. How do I programmatically determine which one is user name?

Don't you have different principal types? I am making a jaas module and I have different principals for roles, groups etc. I think of principals as attributes, the type in the attribute name and the principal name is the attribute value.
To get all the principals of the type SomePrincipal, you can use:
Set principals = subject.getPrincipals(SomePrincipal.class)
You can also take som principal an test wether it is an instance of som type:
if (Principal p instanceof SomePrincipal){..}
An other solution which might be better if you have many different attributes is to store both attribute name and value in the name of the principal.
If "mark" is a username the principal name will be "username:mark" el.
Then it will be easy to find the username.

Created Master Password, now neither User password or Master Password work

Hi the
I've suspected somene to remotely hack into my Macbook because recently it would open finder windows for nothing. Then some of my Gmail mails disappeared so I decided to change password.
I headed to security and saw the "create Master Password" option so I entered my User password and created a Master Password.
Then when trying to change the user password to allow system preference change, the "old" user password didn't but the Master Password didn't either. I tried to then change this Master Password, but it's not working either. It's like my two password suddenly vanished when trying to secure my Mac!
Why? And how can I retrieve or change my passwords again?

Update: I did the boot screen manipulation to change the administrator as indicated here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwc7__sceWA
AND IT STILL DOESN'T ******* WORK.
This has to be the less secure thing I've seen on a Macbook. ***

How to get the user password?

I want to get the user password.
How to do ?
Thank you.

Hi Zhang,
You cannot see the password of an Authenticated User. You can retrieve the Password of the User in encrypted from using JNDI - by connecting to the OID & getting it. You can even change the password of the user with the necessary permissions - but, you cannot get the unencrpted password.

How to retrieve user defined attributes in Prepopulating a request dataset

Hi,
I have created couple of user defined attributes in user profile.
And I am tryting to develop a prepopulate adapter in a request dataset for a resource. I need to prepopulate request dataset based on the values of above said user defined attributes.
I tried to use tcResultSet result=UserOppsIntf.getSelfProfile(); in my pre-populate adapter but it is giving me only the following attributes and it is not giving any of my user defined attributes.
Users.Manager Key
Users.Manager Login
Users.Manager First Name
Users.Manager Last Name
Users.Password Warning Date
usr_locale
Users.Key
Users.Password Expired
Users.Middle Name
Users.User ID
Users.Password Expiration Date
Users.Status
Users.Password Warned
Users.Email
Telephone Number
Users.Display Name
usr_timezone
Users.Lock User
Users.Last Name
Users.First Name
MEMBERTYPE
If I use the code userData = usrService.getDetails("User Login", RequesterID, null); then I am getting only the following.
Display Name:
act_key:
Full Name:
usr_key:
User Login:
Last Name:
First Name:
Please let me know how to retrieve all of user defined attribute values in prepopulate adapter for a request dataset.

Use below code to get all attributes in user profile including UDF.
OIMInternalClient objOimInternalClient = null;
User user = null;
          UserManager usrService = null;
objOimInternalClient = new OIMInternalClient();
          if (objOimInternalClient != null) {
                    try {
                         objOimInternalClient.loginAsAdmin();
                         usrService = objOimInternalClient
                                   .getService(UserManager.class);
                         user = usrService.getDetails("usr_key", strUserKey, null);
                         endDate = (Date) user.getAttribute("End Date");
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                         e.printStackTrace();
                    } finally {
                         if (objOimInternalClient != null)
                              objOimInternalClient.logout();
                         if (user != null)
                              user = null;
                         if (usrService != null)
                              usrService = null;
In order to see all UDF's in User profile, please create Authorization Policy.

700p suddenly gives invalid user/password message when trying to get new mail

My Yahoo Mail Plus account is working fine. When I use versamail on the Palm Treo 700p to retrieve emails from my active Yahoo account, I get "-ERR(Auth)invalid user/password" message. I can access my Yahoo Mail account from the "Web" app on my treo.
So it is definitely a VersaMail issue. This happened after it had been getting new mail (and sending) successfully.
Can anyone help?
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

unfortunately Yahoo and their Branded contracts just don't work as advertised and neither the ISPs Nor Yahoo appear in the slightest bit interested.
If you delete the popstate.dat file in the profile folder in the yahoo server directory, it will restart the download again from the top (Everything)
You might also find that disabling email scanning in your anti virus program may be beneficial. (Could it be McAfee?)
The majority of RETR complaints here are from ATT and BT users, both of whom get McAfee given in by their ISP.

How to retrieve schema password?

Mod_ntlm/AD/LDAP How is the users password recovered and used.

I have an application that currently uses LDAP authenticationand authorisation based on a username and password derived from the page 101 login screen. I am trying to convert it to a SSO solution using mod_ntlm to retrieve authenticate the users windows login against Active Directory. I authenticate fine with a standard mod_ntlm page sentry letting me access the application and I can use the owa_util.get_cgi_env('remote_user') to get the username. What I haven't established is how to retrieve the users password to pass as a parameter into the existing LDAP authorisation functions.
I've based a lot of the ground work on the following article
http://withasmiletomeltathousandhearts.wordpress.com/2009/01/29/apex-windows-integrated-authentication/
However, this relies on a prestored LDAP_user and LDAP_Passwrd to retrieve data from AD. Rather than doing that I am trying to use the currently logged on user, whose login name I can retrieve but I have not found a way to retrieve and use their password?
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance
FunkyMonky

My question is regarding how to use LDAP to retrieve the users AD group information. mod_ntlm has successfully authenticated the windows user to get into the application without having to login. I now want to implement the applications functionality based on that user's Active Directory groups. Prior to the ntlm solution this was done with using LDAP with the authorisation and the credentials were available from the user manually logging on.
The LDAP group determining method I referred to in my original post relies on a stored user to access the LDAP information rather than the actual logged in user as we had originally done it. Is this the only way we can implement our group based authorisation requirement?
Cheers
