Change OWB-user password after import

Hi there,
I set up a new empty 11.2 Warehousbuilder Repository instance, created a workspace and several DB-users (not in OWB) to prepare for MDL-Import.
Into that I run MDL-Import from 10.2 (it creats a MDL-file for 11.2), which was successfuly imported.
Immediatly after import I can not see any content as workspace-owner (may be logical since WS-Owner is not owner of any object imported ?)
and I can't connect as OWB-user as well.
So I tried to change imported OWB-user's password, but how to ?
OWB Install and Admin guide says in chapter 13.10.2, that I would not need to do anything special in OWB, just set password in DB as usual.
But I can't connect as those OWB-user !?
So how to change OWB-users password correctly ?
thanks for any hint.
LaoDe

seems my question wan't clear enough.
So here is an easy scenario step by step:
0. create a new empty Instance 11.2. Create several schema with only connect, resource grants to match later OWB-import's OWB-users.
1. create new, empty repository 11.2 + 1 workspace. OWB-Schema, who created WS = OWB_WS_OWNER
2. run Import from Export MDL-file. This includes several OWB-users.
3. After Import successful endet, no new objects, OWB-users or anything new is to see. (still beeing OWB_WS_OWNER). Even restart OWB does not show any new objects or OWB-users.
4. Can't connect to OWB with 1 of those imported Schema, to see any imported objects. Might be logical, because OWB-password for imported OWB-Schemas is unkown -> DB-Password does not help (what is logical).
5. As OWB_WS_OWNER or OWBSYS: how to change those imported OWB-user's password, when I don't see them as OWB-users ???
please help, thanks Laode

Error while trying to change the user password on OSX Lion

Hello,
I am trying to change the user password ( no admin user ) using the webinterface. I enabled the functionality in webservices on the server.
I can loginto the three line password changing form. After I enter the old and two times the new password, I get the information
"Your request could not be completed. The password server may be unavailable."
How can I fix this problem? I also tried https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2485167?start=0&tstart=0.
Thanks in advance for help.

I currently have this error on my 10.6.8 ML server when trying to change password.
In my situation, the message definitely comes from the password policies. As soon as I use a new password that respects minimum complexity (e.g. 8 characters min, 1 lowercase letter, 1 uppercase letter, 1 number), the password changes flawlessly.
It would be nice to change this horrible message to something more meaningful... If someone has any ideas on how to do this, thanks for sharing!

How to change Analyzer user password with Administration API?

Hi, I would like to change Analyzer user password with Administration API. Can someone post some sample commands to do the task? I would just like to write an application to change end user's Analyzer password. As I see I would need to do the following: 1. login with admin userid/password 2. execute some method to change password for required userid. I think the input parameter should be userid (of the user I would like to change password) and new password (the new password for the user). 3. logout Can someone post some sample code (commands to execute)? Thanks, grofaty My system: Analyzer Server 7.0.1. Essbase server 7.1 Windows XP SP2 

<blockquote>quote: <hr>Originally posted by: knightrich Hello Mr. Jordan. I would like to exchange some thoughts about "housekeeping" Analyzer reports in preparation for migration from Analyzer 7.0.0.0.01472 to 9.x: ... Did you solved such a problem or do you have an idea if it could be solved with the Admin API methods? ... Migration from 7.00 to 9.x: As we heard last week the "Migration Wizard for Reports" in 9.3 should be able to migrate reports. Do you have experience or more detailed information about that Wizard? Many thanks in advance knigthrich<hr></blockquote> knighrich, I'd like to be more help, but I have no experience with System 9. I did substantial cleanup when we migrated from Analyzer 6 to Analyzer 7.1, and even more cleanup when moving up to 7.2, but our installation is smaller in scale than yours and we didn't need to automate report cleanup. You might be able to get the ownership information you need through the back door, doing a direct query on the database, but simpler might be an export users, at least from 7.0. (This facility probably doesn't exist in system 9; it was dropped in 7.2 in favor of an undocumented API) The export file is an xml file that could easily be parsed to identify reports that have the administrator as user and then a second pass to delete those with otuer ownership as well. As previously suggested, you might be able to get this by a well crafted SQL query against the repository. Procedurally, we have both public reports that have the blessing of management and are widely available, owned by a "public owner", and private reports developed by indivdual users and shared or not. Our team maintains the public reports, but not the private reports. We may be asked to make a previously private report public and take over maintenance of it. I hope that you can find a solution that meets your needs. Certainly a call to customer support to identify a poorly documented feature would be in order.

Problem in RFC as JCO changed from user/password to SSO

Hi all
Initially i was using CO with user/password properties but now it has been changed to SO.
In my webdynpro project there are 3 RFC Models being used.
Out of which 2 are working fine and giving the desired results but 1 RFC works fine on the R/3 side but from the webdynpro side it does not work just displays bapireturn - "Not successful".
As the properties of the JCO changes to USer/password , the RFC works fine giving the desired results
Plz let me know wht cld be the problem
Thanks and Regards

Vindhya,
With SSO, the details of the user who's logged in goto R/3 and thus determines if the user has authorizations to run this RFC. This user could be different from the user you were using previously without SSO.
Meaning, this time, with SSO, the user is you whereas the user for user/pwd is someone else and you dont have authorizations to run the RFC??
And another thing, even if you can successfully run that RFC logging into R/3, your userid may not have RFC authorizations (which is required to do a RFC call). IF thats the case, you need to talk to your security/basis guys.
Lemme know if that could be the case in your situation.

I changed my gmail password after suspicious activity was detected. It works fine on my computer but my iphone 5 doesn't recognize my new password ("cannot get mail" message). I've tried changing my phone settings to the new password, but no good.

Hello there dinadinadina,
It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Will not allow me to change a user password

Okay this is a little different. This has gotten me a little puzzled and I am hoping someone with some knowledge about File Vault etc can help.
I have this machine where there is a user name and a password (that we can't remember) with File Vault turned on. We know the master password however the master password will not allow us to change the users password.
We have tried changing the Master Password to ensure that the password is not the issue and that was successful. We tried using the Master Password to try and change another user account (not with File Vault turned on) and it gives us no problems.
I have tried changing the password in System preferences and I get an error message CSSMERRCODE_MEMORYERROR. I tried going to the login screen letting the login attempts time out where it asks for the master password, then it prompts me to reset the password. No matter what I put in the "new" and "verify" (yes they both match) the screen just shakes and won't let me go any further.
I have repaired the permissions and tried resetting the password with the Leopard DVD and also came across no luck. Because the User has File Vault turned on I can not even back up the data so I just delete the account and re-create the user!
I am really stuck here and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay strangely enough, I tried to reset the password back. We had an old File Vault password that we changed to the current one and then changed again during this process. So taking what you said, I reset the Master password to the original one we had a long time ago. It did not allow us to change the password. However when I changed it back to the one we had changed it to a second time, it wouldn't let me change it at the login screen but it allowed me to change it in the Account Management under System Preferences.
So it is fixed. Needless to say I disabled File Vault and it will never be used again! Thank you for your reply it definitely helped me resolve this issue.

How Can I change all User Passwords Within a Directory Instance

Hi Experts,
I've been asked to refresh an old directory instance with some production data. Easy enough I thought, however, the user has requested that all user passwords within the old directory instance are preserved. Is that at all possible? My chain of thought was that I can extract user passwords from the old instance into a file: -
# ldapsearch -D cn="Directory Manager" -w xxxxxxxx -b o=xxxxxxx objectclass=* userpassword > <name of file>
And then then use ldapmodify (or alike) to re-import the user passwords once I've refresh the old instance with the production data. However, to my knowledge, in order to modify a particular entry via a file, i'd need the following format: -
dn: gci=-1,ou=people,o=xxxxxxxx
changetype: modify
replace: userpassword
userpassword: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The only information I have in the file I created using the ldapsearch command above is as follows: -
dn: gci=-1,ou=people,o=xxxxxxxx
userpassword: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I don't want to have to edit the file and add the relevant missing entries accordingly as the generated file has somewhere in the region of 150 thousand entries.
Am I approaching this the correct way? Is there any other mean of achieving my requirement.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
It does not seem a big deal to add the missing lines to your output file.
For instance, the following awk command should do the trick
cat search.out
dn: gci=-1,ou=people,o=xxxxxxxx
userpassword: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
cat search.out | awk '/userpassword/ {print "changetype: modify} ; print "replace: userpassword"; } {print $0}
dn: gci=-1,ou=people,o=xxxxxxxx
changetype: modify
replace: userpassword
userpassword: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Then you can use ldapmodify to apply your changes

Getting user password after valid login

How do I get the user's password after a valid login?

Subbu, thanks for the tip, but I'm following what you mean.
Are you talking about modifing the security.wf file? What do you mean by "introduce
a new ip"? Are there other files involved that I will need to change?

Well, I'm going to answer my own question.
This is not exactly what I was shooting for, but an easy way to get thepassword
is to check the "remember my username and password" box before you login.After
a valid login, the username and password get set to the Cookie headervariable.
Then all you have to do is parse it out and decrypt it with the BASE64Decoderclass.

Actually, the login and password values are available in the request,
and so, you can modify the security webflow to introduce a new IP, and
extract these values!

Changing OWB Repository Password

Hi,
We are using OWB 10.1 version with Oracle 9.2. We maintain 3 repository users like OWB Designer, OWB RUN USER and OWB RUN OWNER. Whenever we get password expiry warning, our mappings fail and get aborted.
As a part of the security policy, repository passwords will be changed regularly. We would like to know the implications of change in the repository passwords,
whether we need to re-deploy the mappings, process flows or any other thing to be
taken care specifically whenever it is changed.
Please give all the details, suggestions related to this and what is the normal
industry practice on this, thank you.
Regards,
Deva

Change password of OWB Repository Owner
The user password can be directly changed in the database using the following sql
alter user <owb repository owner> identified by <password>
Change password of Runtime Repository Owner
Warehouse Builder has a specific procedure to do this for the runtime repository user. The steps are below:
1. Logon to the runtime repository using the old password.
2. Run script <owb home>/owb/rtp/sql/stop_service.sql
3. alter user <repository owner> identified by <new password>
4. Run script <owb home>/owb/rtp/sql/set_repository_password.sql
5. When prompted, specify the new password
6. Run script <owb home>/owb/rtp/sql/start_service.sql
There are no additional steps for Runtime Access User (but if this user is used for starting mapping/processes in scheduling jobs then modified password should be updated in scheduling scripts - this depends on scheduler used)
We dont have to do any deployments for the password changes.

Mallee

How can I change the User Password expiry date

Hi,
I want to know how can I change the password expiration date of my user without changing his password. For eg:-
User password expires on 12th May 2007. I want to extend to 12th Jun 2007. Is there any option in Oracle.
Alter User <USERNAME> password expire .....<to new date>;

The command is not alter user set expire...
You should modify the user's profile, and set a timeframe:
ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT
PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME = num_of_days;
This way your password will be valid from the last time it was changed and for the time frame previously defined.

OBIEE changes table column attributes after importing to rpd

Hello guys
Something interesting is happening in our OBIEE environment. There are a couple of tables we import into physical layer, after importing these tables, all the column data length gets to set to '0' and all nullable becomes 'false'. I have changed these table in the DB and there are all correct. I have also taken a copy of this rpd and test in my own local environment with the same connection pool setting, I was able to import those same tables from the same DB and the attributes remain correct.
However, when we import these tables again in our rpd in unix environment, it is again overiding all the column data length to 0 and nullable to false..
Any clues on how to investigate?

Was it when it was still Siebel Analytics?
I see that it is a known issue, Any luck recalling the solutions so far?

How do i change a user password for historical reports?

I had to change a users extension and she is not able to connect to historical reports. I keep getting an error message that her user id or password is incorrect. Checked user id which is correct and user is using the same password she used before the change. Is there a way i can reset the password the user enters to log into historical reports?

If you are not integrated with an external LDAP, you change the user's password in CUCM End User configuration; otherwise, the passwords can be managed in LDAP.

How can I require a password to change the "Require password after sleep or screen saver begins" setting

My son has a habit of disabling the "Require password after sleep or screen saver begins" setting whenever my wife lets him play a game on her account. I notice every other setting on the "Security & Privacy -> General" tab is protected by the lock on the lower left corner. I've never understood why this one is not. Is there any way that I can get that setting to also be controlled by the lock?

Because that setting is specific to the account currently logged in and doesn't potentially affect any others or the system itself, which is the level in general at which administrator or root access is required.
