Change password via 3-Tier Desktop Intelligence

Hi everyone,
It would be highly appreciated if you could tell me how to change password via 3-Tier Desktop Intelligence.
Version: XI3.0, XI3.1
Thanks a lot!
Lisa

No problem.
And for a work around you can have users
login directly to the CMS (2-tier)
change password
then close deski
as long as they know the difference they can then login to deski 3-tier with their new password.
Another option would be to
lookup the user account in CMC
in user properties check the box "must change password at next login"
Then even 3-tier users will be prompted to change their password the next time they login

Tim

Change Password via telnet session

Hi,
I would like to know how to change the tacacs enable password via telnet session.
When a new user login the first time via telnet, tacacs prompts the user with changing login password. However, it never prompts to change the enable password. Please advice.

I am not clear what your problem is. TACACS uses a single password for a user and does not distinguish an enable password which is different from the login password. TACACS will grant access to enable based on what is set up in the user profile (or group profile) not on having a separate password. The difference between a login password and the enable password is used by the router locally when the router is not able to communicate with the TACACS server.
So when TACACS prompts a new user to change the initial setup password, that is all that TACACS needs to do.

Error Changing Password via API on x64

Hello,
I'm writing an application for our admin guys but I am stmbling on one hurdle.
On 32/64 OS everything works such as enable/disable user, updating records and such
However on 64OS changing password fails
I have attempted 2 seperate ways one
ent = NWDIR1.FindEntry("NDS:\\BCR\BCR\" & txtOU.Text & "\" & txtUsername.Text)
ent.SetPassword(txtPassword.Text)
ent.Update()
This results in error 0x333 819 Invalid network connection
And also
NWDIRAuth1.FullName = "NDS:\\BCR\BCR\" & txtOU.Text & "\" & txtUsername.Text
NWDIRAuth1.ChangePassword(txtPassword.Text)
This results in API error 0x80048801
Both 64 bit systems are logged in as admin
Any ideas?

Changing password via service dswp_create_msg? Is it possible?

Hi experts,
Our Key Users are using service dswp_create_msg to create Service Desk messages. We don't want to give them any other point of access to the system. Only this one.
However, when accessing this service, users cannot change their password. They are prompt with a screen that asks their user id and password, but they cannot change it.
Other services such as AGS_WORKCENTER provide by default this functionality... could we also add it to dswp_create_msg some how?
Or can anyone suggest a workaround?
Many thanks,
Brodo

Hi,
Go to transaction SICF.
Browse to the BSP you are using:
Default_host -> sap -> bc -> sap -> dswp_create _msg.
Double click onb the BSP dswp_create_msg.
Go to edit mode.
Go to tab Error Pages
Select System Logon en click on button Configuration.
Select Define Service-Specific Settings.
Under view Select Display, at least select Logon ans System information.
Save your entries.
Open the BSP in your browser again.

Users unable to change password via system pref's 10.4.10

I am running 1 OD Master and 3 OD Replica's, all servers running 10.4.10, clients running 10.2.8, 10.39 and 10.4.10. All network users can log in with no problems at all, however if a user needs to change their password in System Preferences in 10.4.10, they are unable to do so. The old password field keeps saying "incorrect password" though the password is indeed correct. I have no problems changing any users password on the 10.2.8 and 10.3.9 machines using System Preferences. Any ideas??

I'm working through a problem right now where my users were having problems changing their passwords. I'm using network user accounts. I had a password policy configured on the server where users were allowed to change their passwords, and the password had to be changed every 90 days.
Well, the time came when it was time to change the passwords and users were prompted to do so and did. However, afterwards they started receiving Kerberos password prompts, and it wouldn't take their new password. Restarting didn't help either. If I reset the password on the server, the user could login and things would be fine until they tried to change the password in Sys Prefs : Accounts and the problem would repeat itself.
So far, the solution seems to be disabling the password policies in the Open Directory service in Server Admin. I'm going back on-site tomorrow to see what I can find out. You might want to give that a shot.

Migration Assistant created new account to deposit all my stuff, but I can't access that account, even after changing the password via the main acct'

I am at my wits end. The migration assistant created a new profile (I didnt konw that it would do this) and now I can't get into that profile with all the stuff from my old PC.
I have tried changing password via the main account, but to no avail. I have researched issues with Keychain, but all it tells me to do is change the login password - that doesnt work either - I cant get to all my files.

Migraine Assistant it's called.
Delete the account from the main one, create a new account and transfer files manually via a regular FAT external drive you pickup at any office or computer store, Mac's can read it.

Desktop Intelligence XI 3.1 in 3-tier mode and a lot of Oracle sessions

Hi All,
I wanted to set BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 for our customers (they use BOE XI R2 now).
But I met with some problem for Desktop Intelligence in 3-tier mode (ZABO formerly).
Configuration:
BO Server: BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1
BO Client: Desktop Intelligence version 12.1.0.882
BOE Connection Server: version 12.1.0.882 (2.0.0.29)
Product database (Data Warehouse): Oracle Server 10g
Database client: Oracle Client 10.2.0.1
Connection type: http (J2EE Portal) u2013 Tomcat
Customer DI Documents contain 10 queries on average.
Problem:
ConnectionServer create a session in Oracle FOR EACH QUERY from Desktop Intelligence document and BY EACH REFRESH.
e.g.:
30 users loaded any reports simultaneously and refresh theirs:
30 users * 10 queries (per 1 doc on average) = 301 Oracle sessions !!! (300 for queries and 1 for connection)
second refresh: 301 + 300 = 601 Oracle sessions
third refresh: 601 + 300 = 901 Oracle sessions
etc. while Oracle server is not down.
For DI doc in 2-tier mode (client-server) u2013 only 1 sessionu2026
Thanks.

Look at the XI3.0 migration guide on that site.

Changing an Admin's account password via ARD

Greetings!
I came across this posting on changing a user accounts password via ARD:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2130579&#2130579
I tried Vespazzo Unix command in this thread:
passwd (name of user)
(new password)
(new password)
as root, but in the "Send Unix Command" history window that pops up, next to each computer name under the "Status" column, all I see is a green check symbol with the words, "Changing Password for (account name)", and that's it. It won't go any further then that. Almost like it's hung on something. And I'm not seeing any progress bar indicating something is happening or is about to happen?!?
Am I missing something?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
MM
G5/2.5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Not sure what's going on with this, but I let ARD sit for about an hour or so, until I finally decided that this wasn't doing anything. I restarted my Mac and logged back in. Opened ARD and controlled into one of our design workstations as the admin, the password we usually use, didn't work! The new one did! I tried a couple of others and those worked too with the new password! So who knows what the problem with ARD was.
As long as the command worked, it's fine by me!
Thanks anyway...

What happens to Desktop Intelligence reports when a universe changes name?

Post Author: GregPye
CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
Hi
We are experiencing intermittent issues with our DeskI reports that are pointing to a universe that subsequently changes its name.
We seem to have some reports that cope with the name change perfectly well, and other reports that "cannot find universe" because it is looking for the new name.
The issue with the latter, is that if DeskI cannot find the universe, it will then not allow you to repoint the universe in the View Data pane. When such reports are found, our workaround has had to be:
1) copy universe and rename with old universe name
2) open report and repoint to newly named universe name
3) delete old universe name
Should all reports automatically update when the universe simply changes their name? Why do some reports not do this? Is there something we can do to alleviate the situation?
Many thanks

Changing OD Password via Command Line

How can i change the OD password via the command line? passwd doesn't do it because the password is still marked as "User must change password on next login"
I have a Mac OS X server (10.4.6) set up for Mobile users for mac os x clients (10.4.2-6) and I'm also setting up for a PDC for out windows computers. Right now the only hold up is if the password is expired in OD, windows is unable to change the password. So I'm going to custom edit my smb.conf with the proper settings since Mac OS X doesn't seam to do it.

anyone?
basicly i need to know if there is a command line program to changet users OD passwords and mark the password has been changed in OD.
is this posable? and whats the command?

RSOP: Interactive logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration

Hi,
I am trying to implement a GPO so that users are prompted to change their password 5 days before it expires. I have done this via -
Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > Enabled
Interactive Logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration
Despite doing the above the GPO does not seem to be taking effect. I have run RSOP on my machine and a few users machines and can see that there is a red circle with an X next to
Interactive Logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration.
Below is my winlogon.log file but I am not really sure what I am supposed to be looking for. Can anyone help?

******UPDATE******
I think I have managed to get this working. I changed the source of the policy to a different GPO. I then did the following -
From a command prompt run gpupdate (without the force parameter)
Ran rsop.msc and checked the policy and this time there was no red circle with an X
Have done the same on a few users machines and it appears to apply successfully. I say this because when you go into the properties for the policy you see the following -
The policy XYZ was correctly applied
Just have to wait and see if it actually does what it says on the can.

Unix security and privacy setting unix command via apple remote desktop

Could someone guide me on the unix command to set System Preferemces Security & Privacy to xx minutes [see screenshot please] via Apple Remote Desktop.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5485939/osx_screenshots/sys%20pref%20security%20privacy .png
Thank you,

Pereference tend to be stored for the computer as a whole
/Library/Preferences/
or specifcally for the user
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/
well when I set required password for XX minutes... I see that
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist modfication date & time changes to the current time & date... hMMM maybe the setting we want is stored here? Can we test this?
If I check require password and then do the terminal command:
defaults read ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver
I see
    askForPassword = 1;
    askForPasswordDelay = 0;
    tokenRemovalAction = 0;
turn it off
run the terminal command;
defaults read ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver
I see:
    askForPassword = 0;
    askForPasswordDelay = 0;
    tokenRemovalAction = 0;
so I can turn it on with
defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver askForPassword -bool TRUE
and I can turn it off with
defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver askForPassword -bool FALSE
So if a user is logged into a computer. I could send unix command as current console user.
defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver askForPassword -bool TRUE
BUT what if the user is logged out? or there are more then one user on the computer?
then I could run unix command as user root and send
defaults write /Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver askForPassword -bool TRUE
(replace USERNAME with the user's short name.)
but what if I don't know the user name? or names
send unix command as root
ls -al /Users/
get back a list of folders
bob
surely
shares
and then do
send unix command as root
defaults write /Users/bob/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver askForPassword -bool TRUE
defaults write /Users/surely/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver askForPassword -bool TRUE
you could also do some thing like
defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver askForPasswordDelay -integer 5
if you want to change the period of time to lock to 5 seconds
or
defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver askForPasswordDelay -integer 900
(900 seconds / 60 seconds = 15 minutes)

Windows 2008 Terminal Server "user must change password at next logon" problem with Windows 7 client.

Hi,
I have a fully patched Windows 2008 SP2 Terminal Server and a fully patched Windows 7 client.
I have logged into the Windows 2008 SP2 Terminal Server server with a test account via RDC before.
When I try to log in via RDC to the 2008 TS with a test account which has been marked with the setting "User must change password at next logon" I get the RDC message "You must change your password before logging on the first time. For assistance, contact your system administrator or technical support." I need to force the user to change their password once it has been issued, any ideas on how this can be done?
Thanks,
Dan

This does not resolve my issue all the way. I'm having the same problem; When i'm "deploying" users, i always want the users to set their own passwords. Ok, so I then set the auth mode to "RDP Security layer". It seemed to work fine, and it does for that
special purpose.
Just like Daniel, my clients are connecting to our terminal server from several/different "customer-domains" So, they can't logon locally(on their local computer) and change their password, it has to be done THROUGH the terminal server.
But if I turn on RDP Security Layer, users can't use remoteapp through tsgw they only get: "Your Remote Desktop Connection Failed because the remote computer cannot be authenticated" Any ideas?
Also, our terminal servers is round robin based in a farm. So users connect to: tsfarm.domain.com(yes, public a-record which resolves to two internal adresses) This is because, we're using a wilcard *.domain.com as SSL certificate.
But, when i'm using this, our clients sometimes get double auth when they login. I only get the double auth when tsfarm.domain.com resolves to server A, but the session broker wants the user to be on server B.(load balancing)
This does not occur when SSL is enforced, any ideas?

Import data with nulls in Desktop Intelligence

Hello,
I have data with null values (in a measure). If I export the data as CSV it shows null values as #EMPTY. If I use that as a datasource, it loads #EMPTY as 0 (zero).
Is there a way to make desktop intelligence recognize null values? I tried to remove the #empty and just leave the column empty, it still loads as a numeric zero.
Same (actually worse) for XML. It seems if I export my data to XML it can not use that as a datasource. Odd. So I created the following XML file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<data>
<item key="AAAAAEUK" value="130" category="A" />
<item key="AAAACGDC" value="66" category="A" />
<item key="AAAADNJP" value="56" category="A" />
<item key="AAAAFWRQ" value="222" category="A" />
<item key="AAAAGITU" category="B" />
</data>
I would expect the value field to be null for the last row. But the values turns out to be 222! If I try to put anything else, an empty string "", "#EMPTY", "null", it is always returned as 0.
This is a problem because 0 an null are differnt when computing averages.

Hi Florian,
What is the source of your csv data?
If I have a table in excel with empty cells, the data goes into the .csv as nothing so your example would look like
Item key,value,category
AAAAAEUK,130,A
AAAACGDC,66,A
AAAADNJP,56,A
AAAAFWRQ,222,A
AAAAGITU,,B
This reads in just fine in DeskI (shows #EMPTY in the view data, treats it as such in the report).
So I would look to get the data generated in right way, then DeskI can handle it, no problem.
If all else fails, just run a search&replace and change ,#EMPTY, to ,,
BTW if you have an alphanumeric value in a column where DeskI already decided there should be numeric,
it will read in as 0, that is why the #EMPTY string value got transformed to zero.
Good luck,
Marianne
