Case Sensitive logins

Hello,
We're using Weblogic 8.1.
If I create a user, tmui. Weblogic ignores the login case when I login using
ServletAuthentication. The password is case sensitive.
How can I make the login value case sensitive as well? I should not be allowed
to login with TMUI.
thanks,
Tom

I suspect it is the authentication provider that is case-insensitive. What
authentication provider are you using? If you are using a case-insensitive
one (eg: the NT realm via the compatibility realm), then it is the realm
that is case-insensitive, not WLS.

Case-sensitive passwords in 11g

Hello,
This is a rather silly post, but I've been Googling and can't find whether SQL Developer supports case-sensitive login or not. I've read that some other clients always send an "uppercase" password (no matter how you typed it) which causes problems with Oracle 11g. Is SQL-Developer "compatible" with the new 11g case-sensitive policy?
Thank you.

Yes SQL Developer is definitely compatible with 11g case insensitive password.

How do I make the my login page username field not case-sensitive?

Can anyone tell me how to make my username field not case-sensitive?
This is my code
<html>
<body>
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<%
String username = request.getParameter("username");
String password = request.getParameter("password");
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver").newInstance();
Connection login = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Testing","abc","abc");
Statement stmtLogin = login.createStatement();
String sqlLogin = "SELECT UserName, UserPassword FROM Users WHERE UserName='"+username+"'";
ResultSet rsLogin = stmtLogin.executeQuery(sqlLogin);
while(rsLogin.next())
String suser = rsLogin.getString("UserName");
String spass = rsLogin.getString("UserPassword");
if(username.equals(suser) && password.equals(spass))
HttpSession mysession = request.getSession(true);
mysession.setAttribute("username",request.getParameter("username"));
response.sendRedirect("hello.jsp");
else if(!(username.equals(suser) && password.equals(spass)))
response.sendRedirect("index.jsp?message=Invalid%20Username%20or%20Password");
login.close();
%>
</body>
</html>

if(username.equalsIgnoreCase(suser) && password.equals(spass))Hope this helps!

Login - is it case sensitive?

Hi everyone,
I'm using WLS4.0 SP2 with iPlanet LDAP server, and seeing a peculiar thing.
When a user login to the portal, and types username with different case
(lowercase in place of uppercase and vice versa), the portal let the user
login (can see the "customize portal" and "logout" button), but shows no
portlets but the initial welcome page before login. The caching realm setup
for the LDAP server is not case-sensitive. Our network admin also says that
the LDAP server is not case-sensitive.
My question is - where could the source of this peculiar case sensitivity
be? Any insights?
Thanks!
Makoto

You can make only user account login case sensitive but not password.
SQL> create user "Test" identified by "tEST";
User created.
SQL> grant create session to "Test";
Grant succeeded.
SQL> conn test/test
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE.
SQL> conn "Test"/test
Connected.

Making user account logins case sensitive?

Hi, just a quick question. Is it possible to make a user account login name case sensitive? Currently I can log on using upper or lower case for the login name however I would rather only the exact login name could be used.
Thanks

I had already answered with example.

Portable Home Directories, FileSyncAgent, and Case-sensitive drives

I have a 10.5.3 Server machine that is serving (via NFS) home directories to a mixed group of Leopard (10.5.3) and Linux clients. The drive containing user home directories is formatted to be case-sensitive. I also use Portable Home Directories and mobile accounts on all the Leopard clients. Many of the client machines have case-insensitive drives.
FileSyncAgent is dying on the client machines with a lot of "Reverification failed" messasges in ~/Library/Logs/FileSyncAgent.log. The files being verified often have mixed case file names, while the error messages show lower case file names.
Anyone else seeing FileSyncAgent dying on every home sync?

Hi Guys, So far I have found what seems to be a fix for this issue. I was also having the issue happen to me around some iphoto file but that seems to be coincidental. I will detail what I did below but please first backup the mobile account on the local machine as you will need to recreate it.
Backup the local mobile home folder
Log into a admin account and delete the mobile account under the Accounts Pane in System Prefs
Log into the users Network account on the notebook
Delete all the following items
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
~/Library/Mirrors
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.syncservices.*
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.filesync.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.homesync.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.syndication.plist
~/Library/Preferences/Syndication
Logout of the Network account and then back in
Recreate the Mobile Account
From this point on I have not seen any issues with the FileSyncAgent crashing. Omit any of the files listed above that do not exist. I generally have the notebooks sync on login and logout and I forced a sync while logged in to make sure everything was okay and so far so good. Hope this helps.

Case sensitive password in ECC6.0

Hi All,
I'm using the below code to connect to SAP ECC6 system. The below code works fine when the SAP Logon password is all caps. But, when the password is mixed case I get an Error Message.
* SAPHD hd = SapConnc(argv, sapsys, client, cadsys, user, passw, langu, vers, msg);*
As ECC 6 is case-sensitive, does anyone know any workaround to make sure that case-sensitive password login works from external application on ECC6.0 also.
Thanks in advance,
Naveen

please check parameter
login/password_downwards_compatibility
according to sap help:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/d2/141fb593c742b5aad8f272dd487b74/frameset.htm
Specifies the degree of backward compatibility to be achieved. The default value is 1, where the values have the following meaning:
0
Caution
With login/password_downwards_compatibility = 0, passwords are stored in a format that systems with older kernels cannot interpret. The system only generates new (backward incompatible) password hash values.
1
The system also generates backward compatible password hash values internally, but does not evaluate these for password-based logons (to its own system). This setting is required if this system is used as the central system of a Central User Administration that systems that only support backward compatible password hash values are also connected to the system group.
2
The system also generates backward compatible password hash values internally, which it evaluates if a logon with the new, non-backward compatible password failed. In this way, the system checks whether the logon would have been accepted with the backward compatible password (truncated after eight characters, and converted to upper-case). This is recorded in the system log. The logon fails. This setting is to allow the identification of backward incompatibility problems.
3
As with 2, but the logon is regarded as successful. This setting is to allow the avoidance of backward incompatibility problems.
4
As with 3, but no entry is created in the system log.
5
Full backward compatibility: the system only creates backward compatible password hash values.

How to select a case sensitive value in SQL with C#

Hello,
I have an application that at the begining a user will login with a user name and password which is stored in the database. The SQL statement is as follows:
"SELECT id_employee FROM employee WHERE employee_number='" + txtUserName.Text + "' AND passWord='" + txtPassword.Text + "'";
For testing purposes I have set the password to the word test. The problem is, if the user enters in TEST or TeSt or TESt it will grant them access. How do I set it to force the correct case?
I am using SQL 2005 for the database.
Thanks!
~zero

You can also set Collation while comparing strings:
"SELECT id_employee FROM employee WHERE employee_number='" + txtUserName.Text + "' COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS AND passWord='" + txtPassword.Text + "' COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS";
All comments about not doing this type of quering using command string, instead of command with parameters, they are apsolutely right.
Nevertheless i will have only username as a parameter in the command and password will be return value from procedure. I will check for equality of entered password and returned one from command in C# code, and C# is case sensitive. There is a good security model implemented for password in AdventureWorks sample database for SQL Server 2005, in table Person.Contact.
That model use two fields for password, PasswordHash and PasswordSalt. PasswordSalt is randomly generated hash when password is modified and with that salt, password string is encrypted, which produce PasswordHash. So when you want to authenticate a user, execute a command that will return a row(PasswordHash and PasswordSalt) for entered username, and in application you will encrypt entered username with PasswordSalt. If generated string is equal with the one returned PasswordHash, then you have a valid login. If nothing is returned from command or they are not equal, you have invalid login.

[Solved] Username case sensitivity when logging in via BASIC authentication

Hi,
Quick question... where the web.xml file defines BASIC authentication for an app, can a change be made somewhere to make the username case INsensitive ?
.. such that passwords remain case sensitive but usernames can be upper/lower regardless of how they are stored (in the database in this case, via DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule).
I was thinking I could add an upper(supplied_username) function wrapper somewhere before the supplied username / stored username are compared.. what class/file would I need to edit to try that solution?
If not possible.. would form authentication be a better option for case insensitivity, and if so would it be difficult to hookup a custom login form to the DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule instead of the BASIC login window ?
Thanks..

Hi,
by default all username and password is cases sensitive - no matter how the logon is performed. The DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule provides an option to handle passwords case insensitive (as explained in the documentation !)

casing
=====
The case-sensitivity when comparing login user names to names in the database. Use sensitive to require case-sensitive comparisons, toupper to convert the login user name to all-uppercase, or tolower to convert the login user name to all-lowercase. (If anything other than these three values is specified, the default value will be used.)
Default: sensitive

Not case sensitive input of username?

I have a login section that has a username and password input
field. I am not sure if I am doing this right, but since there is
only one username and one password, this is how I did this.
function checkPassword(userN:String, passW:String):Void {
if(userN == "collections" && passW == "winter2008"){
//let user proceed
}else{
//error message
My question now is how can I have the username not be case
sensitive. Is that possible?
Thanks a lot for any help!

You can use the toLowerCase(), or toUpperCase() methods to
give you a string that you can reliably compare. You may also want
to sort out any stray space characters that the user may type in.
Try something like this:

Local net users - usernames case sensitive

I am facing an annoying issue with our WLC's 5508.We have configured some local accounts - local net users and we found out that usernames are case sensitive.For example when i setup an account with username:TEST and the then try to login with username:test i get authentication failure..
I thought that only the admin accounts were case sensitive.
Has anyone else faced this problem?Is there any solution for this as i have already configured 60 local accounts.
Thank you in advance.

#Management Usernames are case sensitive.
#Local net user seem to be case sensitive per below bug, however it is a old one on 4.0.
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCsg72444
*for local netuser, Does WLC allows to create same usernames like this - Apple, APPLE, AppLe. If allowed then at this point its considered that wlc allows to create case insensitive users for local netusers. Else if only Apple is allowed then it is case sensitive for user creation.
*Now try to login like - apple, aPPLE and also like Apple, APPLE, AppLe.
*Share the result along with the tested wlc code for conclusion. Let see what works and doesn't.

Case sensitivity of Cisco UC Apps - CSCur00659

Hi,
Can someone tell the Cisco developers (all of them, in general) that usersnames should NEVER be handled with case!?!
Finesse Agent login is case sensitive, doesn't remember extension and doesn't auto-logout when we close the browser (UCCX 10.5(1)). All due to case sensitive handling of usernames.
We are AD integrated and all usernames have upper case letters.

I ended up solving this as follows.
In plain words, I was creating the install directory on my local desktop and uploading to Azure. Publishing Wizard was creating pointers to local directory. Had to specify where files were being published in the Updates tab.
In the Publish Tab, here were my settings:
Publishing Folder to c:\...
Installation Folder to http://<mydomain>.blob.core.windows.net/<myprojectname>install
App is available offline (checked)
Then Under Application Updates:
The Application should check for updates Checked, Before the App starts checked
Update Location (if different than publish) points to the same <a href="http://.blob.core.windows.net/<myprojectname>install">http://<mydomain>.blob.core.windows.net/<myprojectname>install <this is what I was missing>
To compound matters, I had a minor typo in the myprojectname so make sure they are "identical". I think case does matter here.
The reason it would work sometimes is that after checking the manifest (if found I was out of date, it was trying to load media from the C: drive and resulting in 404 source file not found errors. On my development machine, those files were there.
This is why I thought it might be a case problem.

Case sensitive usernames for wiki

Hi I'm running the wiki services which get the usernames and passwords from another server which have upper and lowercase usernames, is there a way to ignorecase on usernames for the wiki? so if i type
MSmith or msmith it still lets them login?

Hi,
AFAIK usernames whether Full or short names are case sensitive in OD. The wiki uses Password Server to authenticate against a user account. UserManagementv10.5.mnl for 10.5 Server describes the Open Directory creation and modification of a user account and the rules for Full and Short names. Case insensitivity is not covered.
Using an add on script such as LDAP authenticators communicating with OD can implement any policy you want. But out of the box OD is case sensitive.

In ALV Report Filter selection should be case sensitive

Dear All,
since one field is case sensitive in database table , i have to fetch that in alv report , but when i am applying filter on that field its is simply fetching data with case description. if its in caps it should fetch caps data but in smaal case report showing no data
Regards,
Pankaj Vashista

Hi,
All text datas are case sensitive.
To make it work perfectly You have to Use the Keyword translate to Upper Case than display
Now filter can work.
Without Transalation to Upper Case filter will not work.
