Change Password with changePasswordForSelf and Special character

Hi,
I was trying to use the OIM (9.1.1.0) API to change the password using:
userIntf.changePasswordForSelf(oldPassword, newPassword, confirmNewPassword);
This works when I use some standard password.
The issue appears when I try to enter certain special character: e.g: < or >
The error returned is :
<Error (class Thor.API.Exceptions.IllegalInputException): Thor.API.Exceptions.IllegalInputException>
Exception is: Thor.API.Exceptions.IllegalInputException
I reckon this is done to prevent injections.
I didn't see any restriction in any of Oracle documentation and was wondering if you can help me understanding:
- if you have observed the same issues before
- which character are affected by this
- if there is a work around to allow these character
Thank you.

That's because the special characters you are using are the scripting tags and it confuses itself with the OIM scripting process, for instance JSP's etc.
So I would recommend not to do it and have your policies in place which restricts end-user to have a password with such special characters. I did not tried that but you can possibly do that.

UTL_HTTP with parameter and special character

hello,
i need your help to solve this issue.
I try to open an utl_http request which calls a procedure with some parameters.
i have to create an url like:
http://myserver.de/pls/portal/coup.run_report?p_link=run_coup&p_report=coupon_doc_hot.rdf&p_number1='d1=2887745051191'&p_pevno1='p1=TTG00000013''&p_transno1='t1=5'&p_number2='d2=0'&p_pevno2='p2=0'&p_transno2='t2=0'&p_number3='d3=0'&p_pevno3='p3=0'&p_transno3='t3=0'&p_number4='d4=0'&p_pevno4='p4=0''&p_transno4='t4=0''&p_number5='d5=0''&p_pevno5='p5=0'&p_transno5='t5=0'&p_number6='d6=0'&p_pevno6='p6=0'&p_transno6='t6=0'&p_number7='d7=0'&p_pevno7='p7=0'&p_transno7='t7=0'&p_number8='d8=0'&p_pevno8='p8=0'&p_transno8='t8=0'&p_number9='d9=0'&p_pevno9='p9=0'&p_transno9='t9=0'&p_number10='d10=0'&p_pevno10='p10=0'&p_transno10='t10=0'&p_desformat=pdf&p_destype=file&p_desname=/ias/developer/coup_cache/U002345/report.pdf
If I run the url directly in the browser, everything is working fine. But with utl_http, I only get a 404 error.
i guess it's caused due to the 'd1=0' parameter, but I can't avoid them.

Htp.p() and special character

I am trying to use PL/SQL procedure to present my customized item.
If user type in secial character, e.g. single quote ', in an attribute, I got this error on the page:
Error 30584: DBMS_SQL has raised an unhandled exception. ORA-06550: line 1, column 327: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "03" when expecting one of the following: . ( ) , * @ % & = - + < / > at in is mod not rem <> or != or ~= >= <= <> and or like between ||
Is there a procedure I can call to encode the special character? I tried htp.ps() and htf.escape_sc(), however they are not dealing with single quote.
thanks

I am using a custom item type to display news and annoucements for my intranet.
The custom item type has an associated procedure that renders it on the front page of my intranet.
If the end users enter an apostrophe such as ' . in the title custom item type or the body of the custom item type, I get an error message on the page where the custom item type is displayed, such as
Error 30584: DBMS_SQL has raised an unhandled exception.
I tried changing the procedure that formats and displays the custom item type so it replaces the quote for example
v_description := replace(v_description, '''','ampersand#8217;');
note i am using the ampersand character and not the word so it posts correctly here, the variable is then used as below .
<td>'||substr(v_description,1,400)||'..</td> .
but it does not work.
Is there anyway of trapping what the user is typing in before it gets put into the database and replacing it with a html special character.
or is my plsql wrong.
Any help appreciated.

Find/Change words (with GREP) and apply a style...

I need a Script for Find/Change words with GREP, and apply a paragraph style...
Thanks...

Hi Marcos,
If you want the script to create character styles: Bold , Italic, Bold Italic, etc, and replace local formatting with these styles, use scripts in post #3.
But if you want find and change words, or/and replace local formatting with styles defined by you, use FindChangeByList script.
If the latter, I recommend you to download and install Record Find Change script (written by Martin Fisher).
Then choose settings you need in Find-Change dialog – make sure they work as expected – and run Record Find Change script. A Notepad/TextEdit file will pop up with a line containing the recorded setting. Copy it, open FindChangeList.txt, delete the contents of this file and paste the line you just copied (or add it to the bottom of the file).
Repeat the process for all find-change operations you need.
Finally run FindChangeByList.jsx to make all changes in one go.
However, while using Record Find Change script, you may encounter a problem: it doesn’t record paragraph and character styles placed inside a group. But you can write references to such styles like so:
appliedParagraphStyle:app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("Style Group 1"). paragraphStyles.item("Paragraph Style 1")

4) Post DBSNMP password change in targets.xml
5) emctl start dbconsole.
DBSNMO AND SYSMAN users were locked.
Stop dbconsole again
Unlock the user sysman and dbsnmp
then again restart dbconsole
Sysman user locked

Hi DK,
I'm not sure about special chars such as ":" but ifyou need to have your folders displaying special language chars (like german chars), have a look into the below link.

Error-Description:
When MII get a Message (RFC) from the ECC, all special character (German Umlaut) coming wrong.
I tried with changing the Language, codepage... without any success. When I call the same Message
(RFC) from the BLS through a JCO action block, then the result is with special character. I also tried
this on a MII 12.0.5 installation without success... Did anybody had this problem one time?
Kind Regards
Pedro

Pedro,
we are working in an german environment with unicode, although I have set the Message Listener language to EN. I have found some material texts which came down with a MATMAS that contain german umlaute and which are shown correctly inside the database.
I have also used a "normal" JCo block, no session. I guess it would make no difference using an IDoc or RFC.
Have you seen the wrong characters, in the MII workbench or in a database where you store the contents?

I just noticed that I forgot to use an empty stoplist, so I have added that to the revised example below. Otherwise, it uses a default stoplist that would not index common single-letter words like A and I.
1. Whtat is Just search on single character 'L'? It give me error.
Since it uses the NEAR operator, searching for just one letter causes incomplete syntax, asking it to search for L near a missing second value. So, I have added additional code to allow for just one letter.
2. How do I do auto refresh on this index on datastore?
If I add "sync        (on commit)" it does not refresh the previously set token.
Sync(on commit) does synchronize so that the data is immediately searchable. You have to either optimize or rebuild or drop and recreate the index to condense the rows in the domain index table.
3.lastly explanation of
<seq>NEAR((' || letters_func (:search_string) || '),1,TRUE)</seq>
                  <seq>NEAR((' || letters_func (:search_string) || '),100,TRUE)</seq>
                <seq>NEAR((' || letters_func (:search_string) || '),100,FALSE)</seq>
why 100 true and 100 false
100 is just a default value that I used for the second parameter of near, indicating how close the letters need to be to each other. True and False are values for the third parameter of near, indicating whether or not the letters must be in the same order or not. So, it returns the results in the order of first those that are very close to one another and in the same order, then those that may be further away but in the same order, then those that may be further away and in any order.

Import over network link fails when table and special character.

I am trying to do an import over the network link. Below is the command I am using to do the import. In the parameter file the table name has "$" sign. Database is on AIX.
impdp "'/ as sysdba'" PARFILE=par_aml_aud_import.txt LOGFILE=test.log
PARFILE:
JOB_NAME=MONTHLY_XYZ_IMPORT
NETWORK_LINK=XYZ_IMPORT_LNK
DIRECTORY=XYZ_AUD_IMPORT
TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=TRUNCATE
REMAP_SCHEMA=XYZ:XYZ_AUDIT
REMAP_TABLESPACE=XYZ_DATA:XYZ_AUDIT_DATA
REMAP_TABLESPACE=XYZ_INDEX:XYZ_AUDIT_INDEX
EXCLUDE=GRANT
TABLES=XYZ.DR$ABC_EFG_CTC1$N, DR$MNO_PQR_CTC1$N
I have tested this import with following options.
on the command line TABLES=\"XYZ\".\"DR\$ABC_EFG_CTC1\$N\" ---- (IN THE PARFILE)
on the command line TABLES=\"XYZ\".\"DR\$ABC_EFG_CTC1\$N\" ---- (WITHOUT USING PARFILE)
Still my import fails with below error.
======================
ORA-39166: Object ."DR$ABC_EFG_CTC1$N" was not found.
ORA-39166: Object ."DR$MNO_PQR_CTC1$N" was not found.
ORA-39166: Object XYZ was not found.
ORA-31655: no data or metadata objects selected for job
Job "SYS"."SYS_IMPORT_TABLE_01" completed with 3 error(s) at 07:46:30
I had more than 20 tables to import. All the other tables get imported except these tables which have special character. I have confirmed that these tables exists in source database.
Please advice.
Thanks
Shelly

First hint: don't use as sysdba
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_import.htm#sthref243
Instead, create a user with (no more than necessary) export and/or import rights

on the command line TABLES=\"XYZ\".\"DR\$ABC_EFG_CTC1\$N\" ---- (WITHOUT USING PARFILE)Try something like tables=xyz.table\$name
or
tables='xyz.table$name'
TABLES=XYZ.DR$ABC_EFG_CTC1$N, DR$MNO_PQR_CTC1$NSecond table should probably have schema qualifier as well.

REGEX AND SPECIAL CHARACTER

Hi guys, I have a problem!!!!
I am using the java.util.regex.*, when I try use the special character, for example ' \w ' I get a error
Pattern.compile("\w123\w");
The compiler return to me that the \w character is not a valide, the output error are:
"illegal escape character".
What I need do to put this character in my regular expression and don't get the error?!!?
Another question, I use the feloow code
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("isc");
Matcher matcher = p.matcher("Giscard");
if(matcher.matches())
System.out.println("MATCH");
else
System.out.println("NOT MATCH"); //The resul is always this, why the regex don't match with my name?Thanks one more time.
Giscard

1)
Pattern.compile("\\w123\\w");To input a single "\" in a Java program you must enter two "\\".
2) read the javadoc
matches()
Attempts to match the entire region against the pattern.
So "isc" only matches "isc", not "Giscard"
You need to use find()
