Changing passwords for 800 + existing users.

Hi, Hope people reading this list can help with this.
Start of a new school year here and our local education office has generated new passwords for our existing students. I use Passenger to import new users and their passwords onto the server from the supplied spreadsheet. Can I also use Passenger (or some method within workgroup manager) to import just the new passwords for the existing users? I would prefer not to have to delete the users and then re-import them from new files.
Thanks
Anthony O'Brien

Hi,
If you are using Passenger to import new users, I presume you are using an LDAP connection to interface with OD. In which case you could just construct a script to do a batch import of the password field. If you are using Rails or Ruby this could be done with a Rake task or independently.
On the OD side you can import passwords into OD in clear text but it has to be done following the formatting rules provided in the CommandLine_Adminv10.5 document p. 123.

Is it advisable to change the password for standard service users (i.e. SAPCPIC, WF-BATCH, SAPJSF, TMSADM) created during SAP Installation?

I have bought an used Iphone 5. I dont have the password for the existing login id of the old owner. How do i use the phone and change the log in id?

Unfortunatly the only way that you can get it off is to get the old user to input the password. You may need to contact that old user and see if he can put the old password in. hope this helps.

How to change password for XELSYSADM user in OIM?

Hello Gurus and Experts!
How to change password for XELSYSADM user in OIM?
Your help is appreciated.

Follow the undermentioned steps to change the password:
1) Change the password from oim Design Client as usual.
2) Open xlconfig.xml present in <XL_HOME>\xellerate\config folder.
3) This step is optional and should only be used if you have a <XLPassword encrypted> tag in the <Scheduler> section. In the scheduler section, change the encrypted="true" to encrypted="false" and replace existing encrypted password with new clear text password, as shown below:
<Scheduler>
<XLUserName>xelsysadm</XLUserName>
<XLPassword encrypted="false">NEW_PASSWORD</XLPassword>
</Scheduler>
4) Restart server.
Now login with the new password.

How to trigger and change password for AD user after form based login

Hello,
We are authenticating against Active Directory with Weblogic 10.3 using FORM based security. Everything is working. I need to now change a password for an authenticated user. For example, I have set a user to have their password expire on next logon from the AD side. The user logs in but somehow I need to trap some info from Active Directory (or an LDAP conversation) to figure out if I need to force the user to change password.
Do I need to start looking at custom code with LDAP Java SDK's or can I use a canned MBean from Weblogic Server.
I am looking at http://www.mozilla.org/directory/ for LDAP.
Can I set/reset an AD user's password with an MBean like the following link?
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs92/javadocs/index.html?weblogic/management/security/authentication/UserPasswordEditorMBean.html
If anyone has any experience with this or can point me in the right direction let me know.
If anyone else is interested please add to the tread and I'll be sure to keep the found solution(s) updated here.
Thanks...........

NAC Guest Server, How to change the password for a single user?

We have a NAC Guest Server which creates a complex password for all new users created.
We would like to have normal/simple password for a single user. How can I get this done on a NAC Guest Server.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can setup 3 different flavours of passwords:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/nac/guestserver/configuration_guide/20/g_guestpol.html#wp1063249.
a. Username Policy 1 - Email address as username
Use the guest's email address as the username. If an overlapping account with the same email address exists, a random number is added to the end of the email address to make the username unique. Overlapping accounts are accounts that have the same email address and are valid for an overlapping period of time.
b. Username Policy 2 - Create username based on first and last names
Create a username based on combining the first name and last name of the guest. You can set a Minimum username length for this username from 1 to 20 characters (default is 10). User names shorter than the minimum length are padded up to the minimum specified length with a random number.
c. Username Policy 3 - Create random username
Create a username based upon a random mixture of Alphabetic, Numeric or Other characters. Type the characters to include to generate the random characters and the number to use from each set of characters.
Note: The total length of the username is determined by the total number of characters included.

Two things. First, I'm not exactly sure what password you are trying to
change. The LDAP server's password or a user's password in the LDAP
server. Second, could you please post a stack trace.

Hai,
This condition based execution requires - javascript coding.
In miscelleaneous tools bar, you have an option of SCRIPT_ITEM writer tool, drag the tool into your WAD layout, and select the properties , choose the editor option and paste your coding. that's it.
Alternate option :
in your web application design layout , you will fine XHTML coding editor , there you need to write coding and execute the same.
Hope this will help to you.

During oim installation datasources are created to access the database.
So when you change the password for the database user you have to adjust the password in the datasources.

suresh.m2015,
It's going to be impossible for anyone in this forum to help with your issue if you don't provide any more detail about your environment and Apex installation. However, from your post it looks like the Apex database objects are missing or invalid.
Did you follow the Apex installation guide step by step? For example, did you run apexins.sql?
It's important to follow the documentation. The script you are running to change the admin user password should not be run until after the Apex installation is complete.
