Check for successful login

Hi
I have the following problem (hopefully rather simple but I'm new to SQL*Plus and PL/SQL):
I execute a batch file b.bat (under windows) that in turn executes a SQL-script s.sql via
sqlpus /nolog @s.sql.
The script then tries to CONNECT user/pwd@service, does it's stuff and exits.
If user/pwd is a valid login, all is fine, but it would like the batch to know whether the login was successful or not, for example with a signal file. I can use spool to send information into a file but it gets created even when the login fails so what I'm looking for is a way that creates a file if and only if the login was successful (so that the batch just has to test for it's existence and not analyse it's content). I have tried PL/SQL which gives me "IF"-statements that will probably help me determine wheter the login was successful, but could not execute a spool command from there.

You could use WHENEVER SQLERROR and check the return status of SQL*Plus

Shell program, check for interactive login

hey, i'm fairly new to *nix programming in general
i want fortune to run for users at login time,
however i can't just slap fortune into the .bashrc file b/c that will not provide sftp a 'clean' environment for the added output to a noninteractive session messes up ssh do to its unix like implementation of things
anyway my question is a simple one, how do i check for an interactive session, where there is a tty attached to the standard input, or however it makes sense to be said.
i picked up an o'reilly bash ebook through my library but haven't had a chance to read it yet, so an example code snippet would be helpful if possible
thanks for the help

That very question can be answered with :
tty -s && fortune
However, I'm not sure if this solves your problem, since sftp may actually provide a tty ... I simply don't have any experience with sftp.

and since you intend to read up, I can only encourage you to do so, and I won't give an explanation of the above, so you have something to read up ;-)

How to check for user login in a header?

What is a good way to make sure the user has logged in on many web pages? I implement the property and method in the session bean to keep track of whether the user has logged in or not and that's fine. I tried to use a Page Fragment to check if the user is logged in, but Page Fragment does not seem to redirect with getExternalContext().redirect("Login.jsp").
I also tryed to use <jsp:include> to include a header to test for login, but JSF doesn't seem to like me adding that to the page (got error).
Also, is there a good way to prevent the target page to even execute the rowset if the user is not logged in? It seem like the page has to complete all the rowset data binding before being redirected to another page, even if I put the redirection as part of the page initialization. This is difficult because I can't expect all the pages to have query result when the user is not even logged in.
This is very basic web application function but it seems so hard to do with Studio Creator.

One thought though, when I was playing around with that solution I noticed that everything gets filtered.
i.e. images, so maybe you chould place some thing on the page (image) and when it comes through .. do something. I know its not quite as good, because your back to having to put something on each page (or restricted pages).
The images won't be wrong, unlike the URL .. maybe not images maybe something else. good luck

Does the Creative Cloud app on Mac have to launch at login to check for updates?

I don't really care to have the Creative Cloud app on my Mac running all the time. I don't use any of the features for it other than to update apps.
If I UNcheck "Launch at login"....will I still get notified of updates?
-Kevin

I certainly didn't have the Application Manager running all the time in CS6. Adobe must have had a background process checking for updates because in CS6 where there was an update, I would get the update icon in my menubar.
What I'm wondering now is.....does CC have a similar process that will notify me of updates? I don't want to have to manually launch the Creative Coud app just to check.

Upgraded new iPad to iOS 5 after successfully using the machine for two weeks. The apps I downloaded are still here, checked for updates, all okay. However, when I try to use iBooks app or even USA Today, icon shakes, settles down then nothing. Help.

Upgraded new iPad to iOS 5 after successfully using the machine for two weeks. The apps I downloaded are still here, checked for updates, all okay. However, when I try to use iBooks app or even USA Today, icon shakes, settles down then nothing else happens. Several tries, settings appear correct. Suggestions? Safari operates correctly, music icon matches (not from iTunes, simply music on my MacPro and iPod). Is Cloud the issue, perhaps? But everything worked before the upgrade. Using my home network. Hope this info suffices. Appreciate any guidance.

Problem solved. Saw the solution in a more recent post. Downloaded a free app, then all my other apps started to work again.

How to log successful logins to a syslog server in NX-OS

Does anyone know how to do this in NX-OS? I do it in IOS with the following commands:
login on-failure log
login on-success log
logging x.x.x.x
With that I get a syslog message that I can then log to a file to track who has logged into which device and when. But I can't find the syntax to do the same thing in the Nexus switches that we have. Does anyone know what the equivalent commands are?
Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben,
By default, failed logins are logged.
You can checked the log using:
show logging logfile | last 15
and for every logging failed (by default) you will get something like this:
2012 Dec 18 14:51:08 Nexus5010-B %AUTHPRIV-3-SYSTEM_MSG: pam_aaa:Authentication
failed for user en from 2.2.2.1 - login
To get the success-login to show up in the logs we need to increase the level of the authpriv to 5 (it is 3 by default), and doing this will add a new log for failed or succesful connections.
Use the following command:
Nexus5010-A(config)# logging level authpriv 5
You can check loggin levels by using:
#show logging level
After you do this with the logging level you will see in the log something like this when a succesful login takes place:
2005 Jan 6 03:29:48 Nexus5010-A %AUTHPRIV-5-SYSTEM_MSG:    admin :TTY=unknown
; PWD=/var/sysmgr/vsh ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/strings/proc/18340/environ
- sudo
Now for a failed login and after increasing the authpriv level you will see the following logs:
2005 Jan 6 03:31:36 Nexus5010-A %AUTHPRIV-4-SYSTEM_MSG: pam_unix(aaa:auth):check pass; user unknown - aaad
2005 Jan 6 03:31:36 Nexus5010-A %AUTHPRIV-5-SYSTEM_MSG: pam_unix(aaa:auth):
aut
hentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= - aaad
For logging *****
Nexus7018(config)# logging ?
console           Set console logging
event             Interface events

BODS 3.1 :SMTP configuration to send email for success or failure of job

Hi.
This is further to this post : http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1965129&tstart=0
Thanks to all for the help.
I did not find a complete set of information as things to do (for a person who is new to BODS).
Hence sharing the workflow which works for me when tested on a simple workflow :
Pre-requisite : SMTP service to be made available on the BODS server and port 25 to be opened up.
This is done by the IT dept of the company.
When smtp service is activated and port 25 is opened up, telnet IP address 25 should say, service is available.
Suggestion : create a email group like : bods at company.com which can be used to be used for the BODS JOBs. Which does not prompt for a password. This also is done by the IT dept of the company.
1) On the BODS server :
1) Click open Data Services Server Manager
2) SMTP settings for smtp_to functions :
Add the IP Address of the SMTP server
Add the email address of the sender. Eg. bodsjobs at companyname,com
3)Apply/Restart the server.
2) Login to BODS Designer :
Create a test job :
TRY ==>DF===> Script for success ===> CATCH script for failure
In the script for success : add the following :
print (' IN TRY BLOCK Before email ' );
smtp_to('bodsjobs at abc,com', ' SUCCESS OF JOB : '
|| job_name(),'Job completed successfully ', 0, 0);
print('After Email ');
In the script for Catch add the following :
print (' IN CATCH BLOCK Before email ' );
smtp_to('bodsjobs at abc,com', 'FAILURE OF JOB : '
|| job_name(),
error_number( ) || 'Error message: ' || error_message( ) ||
'check details', 50, 50);
print('After Email ');
Note : In the catch : select all exceptions on the check box.
Save all.
Click on the job and say execute.
The job will run and if it is successful. You will receive the succes mail.
If there is any error in the DF before the catch, you will receive a mail, which says failure.
The above workflow, when tested atleast works for me.
Hope this helps.

Hi Arun.
Am really not aware as to how to make things work from the console.
I work on windows environment both at client and on the server.
It looks like you got a bit confused on suggestion of a email group account.
I never did anything on outlook configuration for activation of smtp for bods.
I think you should not mess with outlook.
I dont know from the client side how things work.
But i have worked directly on the BODS server where the bods installation was done.
It is relatively very simple to do and to test.
But to even test why you get that error.
All you need is just a email id. Which could be yours ???
Put your email id as the source of email in that box in the job server.
And put only your email id in smtp_to and test it.
Run a test job. If it completes successfully. You will receive a mail.
In the catch, if you have checked all the boxes for error capture,
if the job fails, it would throw a dump of the errors in the email.
Once everything works well and you receive emails for any jobs you are running.
Then you could decide for the source of your email id and for the receipients of your emails of the jobs.
You could put a group id of your team as source. And also in smtp_to script in case you want everyone to receive the alert that the job has been done or it has errors.
Or include only those email ids in the smtp_to whom you feel, should receive the mail.
Hope this idea helps.
Please dont mess with outlook for any smtp activation for bods.
It is not required if you are working on a windows environment.
You just need a email id for testing.
Outlook configuration does not come into picture at all.
if there is any other unix environment involved. I have no idea.
And i really do not know how things would be from a client side to configure.
Server configurations i do from the server.
I did all configurations on the main server machine. Not from the client.
And I have only one job server so i did everything there.
I did not do anything from management console.
I use management console only for monitoring of jobs on a daily basis, the dashboard which gives you details of the data pulled, time taken etc etc.
cheers
indu.

J_security_check in form-based authentication - not checking for blank passwords

I am using the LDAP Security Realm to authenticate against an iPlanet
Directory Server. All works as expected when a user-id and password
are entered for form-based authentication.
However, when a userid is entered but no password, j_security_check
logs the user in successfully. Aparently, this is correct LDAP
behaviour as anonymous login to the LDAP server is permitted. It seems
that the j_security_check servlet should check for blank passwords
before trying to authenticate against the LDAP server and fail
authentication if this is the case.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Hi Brian,
I do not believe it is j_security_check's job to check for blank
passwords.
In many security realms, it is "legal" for a user to have a blank
password. j_security_check forwards whatever password was entered so that
even users with blank passwords can be authenticated by the realm on the
backend. For this reason I believe that j_security_check is "doing the
right thing" by just forwarding whatever is presented to it, rather than
having its own logic. It is best if j_security_check just acts as a very
dumb middle man.
If behavior was altered, it is true that your particular problem would be
solved, but then many other people would have a problem with their users
with blank passwords authenticating properly...
Try looking into how to disable anonymous logins on the LDAP end of
things. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Joe Jerry

Black screen after successful login into Remote Session

Hi,
I am having windows 8.1 pro(64bit) and windows 7 pro(64bit) machines using which i am trying to connect to a remote VM with windows 7 enterprise through vpn client 5(64bit). After successful login, BLACK SCREEN with Connection bar is displayed. Ctrl+Alt+End
did not work.
In fact, a strange behaviour experienced. After failing once, i tried again with IP address instead of host name. Bingo, it works well. Then disconnect and try to reconnect, problem repeats. What i mean is, the problem is neither Consistent not persistent.
I am frustrated trying to solve the issue. Blogs, forums, communities.... where ever what ever solutions suggested, tried without any luck. Any help please ? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From your description it seems that you facing Black screen issue, but when you tried with IP address you can logon to the remote session but during reconnection issue repeats. Correct me if misunderstand your case.
From last how may days you are facing this issue?
Can you find any suitable error\event ID for this case?
For this firstly please check that you have proper connectivity between systems. Please check that you can Ping successfully to the remote system with IP address and hostname.
Might this issue caused by some stopped service “Desktop window manager session” which stop after RDP login. You can check the status as follow.
1. After the issue appear, please use RDP connect to the computer again and check the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service status.
2. Then, please restar the computer and check System Event log to check if has a Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service error.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

A null check might not be you best option. If your requirement is you must have both the date and time component supplied in order to populate EventDate, then I would use a Script Functoid that takes data and time as parameters.
In the C# method, first check if either is an empty string, if so return an empty string.
If not, TryParse the data, if successful, return a valid data string for EventDate. If not, error or return empty string, whichever satsifies the requirement.

Checking for PDF 1.7 compatibility in Preflight (Acrobat 9 Pro)

Hi,
I've noticed that in the given Preflight profiles in Acrobat 9 there is no compatibility check for PDF 1.7, only 1.6. is there a profile i can load? or a set of checks i can make a profile in order to determine 1.7 compatibility?
Thanks,
Yair Agmon.

Hi,
Knowing a PDF file's version premits deduction of what version "compatibility" is present.
Version 1.7 (Acrobat 8.x) lacks compatibility for Acrobat 9.x specific features.
Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x) lacks compatibility for Acrobat 8.x specific features.
And so forth.
Certainly, not an elegantly simple approach; but, nevertheless it is functional.
Using Acrobat Professional/Extended 9.x -
Open the Preflight dialog.
Advanced > Preflight
From the Options drop-down menu, Select "New Preflight Profile".
The Prefight: Edit Profile dialog opens.
A default profile name is provided (New Profile <number>).
Initially, Click the Save button to save the profile. You can rename it later.
Note that "New Profile" is placed in "Custom
Now, locate your "New Profile" in the column at the left of the dialog and select
"Custom checks".
The available custom checks list loads in the pane to the right.
Above and to the right is a "Find" field.
Enter the string "version".
A filtered list appears.
A custom check is available for "versions newer than":
1.2 | 1.3 | 1.4 | 1.5 | 1.6 | 1.7
and there is a custom check for "version older than 1.3".
Add the desired custom check to the profile. Save.
Configure the check for Error | Warning | Info
Info is "Notification" in the report that can be provided.
Once you have configured "New Profile" it can be used by a Batch Sequence to check multiple files.
When a Preflight is selected for use by a Batch Sequence you can configure for a "on success" and/or "on error" report.
Be well...

TV Shows Season Pass New Episodes Gone from Check for Available Downloads

I was informed today from iTunes Support that new episodes that become available will no longer come through the Store > Check for Available Downloads option in iTunes. If you notice in your email alerts for the new episode's availability, it now says the new episode is found in your Purchased items in Itunes in the Cloud.
I was also told that if I checked the options "show iTunes Purchases in the Cloud" in iTunes > Preferences > Store tab, that I could just see the new episodes in my Library under TV Shows. I used to have this option and could access the new episodes and download them this way, but that option is now GONE as well from iTunes. I am awaiting feedback from my Senior Support Rep as to what is wrong there.
I have been simply going to the iTunes Store > Purchased > TV Shows and clicking the "Not on this computer" option in the upper right. I have to go show by show and click "Download" or "Download All". I have almost 15 Season Passes at any one time. This is a completely horrible way of downloading them.
When the new episodes were evailable via the "Check for Available Downloads" Option, I had my iMac scheduled to restart every morning around 4am Central. That was about 2 hours after the date/time stamp of the email notifications. Since iTunes was always set to start at login, it would automatically check for available downloads, and then download all the new episodes. I then had a cloning process scheduled that would clone my primary iTunes Media drive to a backup iTunes Media drive. That way if one fails I always have an up to date copy.
This new method totally screws up how slick this whole process worked. I understand streaming and the cloud is the direction they are taking here, but this is completely an about face. I want the new episodes available locally. I want it downloaded when I am asleep and always available locally when I want to watch. That way I dont have to worry about my internet availability. Storm can knockout my internet. The construction down the road can cut the optical cable. I may loose my internet due to a problem with the ISP. Having the files locally allows me to watch them worry free, buffer free, and when I want to.
I urge those who are annoyed by this change to provide feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
I really hope this decision to remove this functionality is not a sign to come. Next I will be downloading each song one by one when I buy an album because I can just stream it in the cloud.
I love my Apple products and servies. But this totally makes me hate them right now.

I am so angry right now I can not even see straight. So the "Show iTunes Purchases Option" out of the blue showed up in iTunes this morning. I dont know if a reboot fixed it or what. But the attached screen shows the lack of that feature along with the iTunes version.
So I am not freaking crazy. So I turned it on this morning to pick up 3 new episodes. I get home tonigth and sit down on my couch with my Apple TV ready to roll... and it has completely screwed my "watched" vs "unwatched" episodes. I come to my iTunes library on my iMac and sure enough TV Shows and Movies I know I have not watched or started are marked as watched.
I have not watched a single episode of The Following Season 1, and it basically shows I have watched all but the latest 4 shows. I have not watched the last several episodes of Revenge, and it says I have not watched only the last episode. I am guessing as to where I left off, but it looks like Episode 13 was the last episode I watched and iTunes said I had only not watched Episode 19. Vikings Season 1 - I have not watched a single show, but it shows I have watched all but the last 2 episodes, 8 & 9.
Movies - I have bought and downloaded many movies that I have not watched as of yet. For instance: Django Unchainted, and all 3 Matrix Movies. I have watched a couple of the Matrix movies but not all the way through. But I had gone back and marked them as "unwatched" Everything else I had not even touched to hit play or nothing. These are all purchases.
I hunted down all the episodes and movies I knew I had not watched... which took me quite a while... and then when I close and re-open iTunes and at least the watched/unwatched TV shows stayed as I marked them. This was not the case when this feature was first rolled out with iTunes 11. That is exactly why I never used this feature in the first place. Time will tell if it remains stable with the watch/unwatched situation.
Regardless, I am so tired of taking time out of my day and writing iTunes support and giving Apple feedback so they can perhaps look into it and see if its a larger issue than just my library. So they can also maybe realize that some of us actually love their product and want to see them continue to working awesome, slick, and incredible. But as someone who is looking at 8 active season passes.... I may never buy a season pass from iTunes again. The reason why EVERYONE still has a TV antenna and/or cable is because the basic concept of how you watch the programming DOESNT CHANGE. They should take this feedback simply as TV shows are not like Movies and Music. TV shows happen weekly. Having a consistent and repeatable process to get the shows and watch them each week is paramount.
I am usually very good with change and enhancements. But this one.... has completely made me an irate Apple Customer.

Check for null or empty in the functoid

I want to check for null and empty values on input source node. If there exists a null or empty in the input source node, I should not pass that to output destination node. Does the
following attachment work? I want to check for null or empty in the date and time and then concatenate them to send to output. If any of them is null or empty, the other should not fail. In the Not Equal Functoid I am checking for blank, but how to check for
null?

A null check might not be you best option. If your requirement is you must have both the date and time component supplied in order to populate EventDate, then I would use a Script Functoid that takes data and time as parameters.
In the C# method, first check if either is an empty string, if so return an empty string.

Check for empty session variable

Hey there we're making a login for our jsp web application.
The login allready works and so does the log out but now we want to make a check to make it impossible to login with names that are not in the database.
So what basicly happens is as follows...
Login reads the database info:
while (rs.next()) {
     if (request.getParameter("username").equals(rs.getString("username")) && request.getParameter("password").equals(rs.getString("password"))){
          session.setAttribute("username", rs.getString("username"));
          session.setAttribute("firstname", rs.getString("first_name"));
          session.setAttribute("lastname", rs.getString("last_name"));
}but when you enter invalid information teh session variabe "lastname" for example should read null. Now we want to make a check for this null value, which should look something like this:
if(session.getAttribute("username").equals(null)){
     response.setStatus(301);
     response.setHeader("Location", "/index.jsp");
} else {
     response.setStatus(301);
     response.setHeader("Location", "/mainmenu.jsp");
}But this doesnt work, it just logs in with the null values... any1 got a clue??
edit: im actually looking for something like the isSet command in PHP to give an idea...

Your test for null will always fail, because request.getParameter("username") is NEVER null, in that it exists, even though it contains no data.
Try .equals(""); instead.
