Check number of users and security

Gurus,
In our EPM environment (system 11.1.2), we have four different applications/databases (planning and essbase included) and i need to list the total users in all of the applications and see what there provisioning and security are. How could I be able to do that?
Do I need to export security on all of them and filter them or is there any way to check the users in all of the applications at once?
Thanks

Is there any way I can view a list of users by department?
Is there any thing like that to sort by group/department.
ThanksList of users by department - There are groups in Shared Services, are your groups arranged by department? if the answer for that is "Yes", then yes, the export of all Groups from Shared Services will list the children (member) of each group.
I don't think there is a sort in Shared Services, however once the csv file is exported, you can do the sorting.

MaxL command to import users and security in eas

Hello,
I would like to know if there is a command that allows Maxl export and then import the list of users native EAS and filters.
In summary, I have a few applicationsversion 9 essbase to 11.1.2.2, via migration wizard. my essbase 11 is in standalone mode with SSO configuration to MSAD external authentication. In version 9 essbase security is mounted on the shared services.
My question is, if I take my file essbase.sec version 9 and the copy in version 11, to get my native users and security filters. Will I lose my config sso?.
Thank you in advance

You could look at the advanced security manager as an alternative solution to extracting the information, it is free and definitely worth a go - http://www.appliedolap.com/free-tools/advanced-security-manager

"oracle" user and security

I am running Oracle 10g XE on a Linux machine (RHEL 4.0).
I am fairly new to Linux. In the LogWatch report I receive every day, I notice that hackers are trying to log in as the "oracle" user, e.g.:
Authentication Failures:
unknown (200.3.248.22): 4159 Time(s)
oracle (200.3.248.22): 36 Time(s)
How do I know that the password for the "oracle" user is secure? I didn't create it and I don't even know what it is.
Can I change the password to something strong without affecting my system?
Thanks!

Can I change the password to something strong without affecting my system?
I just wonder if it will cause any problems if I change the password? I don't want to mess up my system.Well for Oracle SW (and whole local OS) there is no problem. Problem could be if you are using some external scripts that you are using on remote machine (and which using login password sequence to access the OS).
How do I know that the password for the "oracle" user is secure? I didn't create it and I don't even know what it is.To check the password strength you can use some utilities. For example John is very good for that: http://freshmeat.net/projects/john/
I am fairly new to Linux. In the LogWatch report I receive every day, I notice that hackers are trying to log in as the "oracle" user, e.g.:Why aou are running your database in untrusted network segment (internet). Best practice is to place such system to secured segment (DMZ, VLAN). If the reason is that your 3rd party partner needs to connect to database you can do IPSEC tunnel.
Of course don't allow to connect anyone to your machine and to any port. So the recommendation about iptables (netfilter) is appropriate.

People Picker can resolve users and security group from another domain but no validation for groups

Dear all,
Here is the scenario of our issue:
We are migrating from Domain A to Domain B and in Domain A we currently have a SharePoint 2013 on which we want to set permissions for users and groups that have already migrated to Domain B.
A bi-directional trust exist between the two domains and all applications relying on trust and resolving IDs from on domain to another are working fine (Windows RDS for instance)
The "bug" that we have is when using the PeoplePicker, it can resolve without any issue a user account in Domain A or B, and a security group (type global, I haven't tried local or universal yet) from domain A or B. But for the security groups
only (it works well for users), when I click on "Save" to validate the add of the group to the site permissions, I have the following error:
I have seen a lot of similar issues on the web but no answer so far that work :(
Example: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/sharepoint/en-US/74e8d14b-a0f4-4e21-8cfa-b1a937247160/cant-provision-security-to-old-domain-users
If you have any question that could help you to understand it, do not hesitate.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help ! :)

Users And Security Best Practice

Dear Experts
I am designing an application with almost fifty users scattered in different places. Each users should access tables according to his/her criteria. For example salessam, salesjug can see only the sales related tables. purchasedon should access only purchase related tables. i have the following problems
Is it a best practice to create 50 users in the DB i.e. 50 Schemas are going to be created? Where are these users normally created?
or is it better for me to maintain a table of users and their passwords in my design itself and i regulate through the front end. seems that this would be risky and a cumbersome process.
Please advice
thanks
Manish Sawjiani

You would normally create a single schema to own the
objects and 50 users to use them. You would use roles
and object privileges to control access.Well, this is the classic 'Oracle' approach to do this. I might say it depends a bit on what you want to achieve. Let's call this approach A.
The other option was to have your own user/pwd table. You can create your own custom authentication but I would go for the built-in Application Express Users - authentication scheme. You can manage the users via the frontend (Application builder > manage Application Express Users) . There you can manage the groups and end users which you can leverage in your Apex app. You can even use the APIs to create the users programmatically. It is all done for you. Let's call this approach B.
Some things to consider:
1) You want to create a web application and also other applications that access the data stored in Oracle (another PHP / Oracle Forms / Perl ) or allow access via SQL/Plus. Then you should use approach A. This way you don't need to reimplement security for these different approaches.
2) You want to create one (or multiple) Apex applications only. This will be the only mechanism the users will access your data. Then I would go for approach B.
3) When using approach A some users didn't like that all users will have access to their workspace, including the sql command line and having the capability of building applications and possibly being able to change the data they have access to through the Oracle roles. Locking down this capability is possible but it takes some effort and requires an Apache as a proxy.
4) When using approach A you will need DBA privileges to manage the users and assign the roles. This might not always be possible nor desired. Depends on who will manage the Oracle XE instance.
5) Moving the application including the end users to another machine is a bit easier using approach B since they are exported via the application export mechanism. Using approach A you would have to do it yourself. Be aware that the passwords are lost when you install the users into a different Oracle XE instance.
6) If you design the application using approach B you will have to design security in a way that doesn't rely on the Oracle roles / grants security mechanisms. This makes it easier to change the authentication scheme later. For example, later you want to use a LDAP directory, a different custom authentication scheme or even SSO (SSO is not available out of the box but feasible). This is directly possible.
Using approach A you would have to recode the security mechanisms (which user is allowed to update/delete which data).
Hope that clarifies your options a bit.

Portal groups/users and security

Hi,
I have created an application and that application has forms, reports, meunes, page with three tabs for Admin, Librarian and Reports. I put some portlets of Forms etc in different tabs. Now i want that the Admin can access and see all tabs, Librarian can access and see Librarian and Reports tab while Users just can see and run Reports. For that i created three groups
Admin_group, Librarian_group and user_gropus. For each group i created test users and attach or add these users to the group. To each group i gave execute permission of the application. After that i went to the page and on the page i assign follwoing permission to the tab.
Reports: all three groups(view only)
Librarian: Librarian_group and admin_group view_only
Admin: Admin_group view_only.
Then i log on as a test user of the User_groups but i was just able to see the report tab but not the menue (which is portlet in this page). Same with other tabs and users. I want to know what i am missing.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

All the groups has execute permissions of application. Can you please tell me for any documentation for Portal Security i.e group and user management or if possible you can little explain ?
Your help will be highly appreciated.

Users and Security Levels in lookout client

I would like to setup users with different security levels in my Lookout 6.7 client application. When I try to add a user I get an error message that says "add user operation failed. Check the system drive disk space". There is plenty of drive space, 50GB. Is it possible to have users logon to the client with different security levels?

How many users and how often a particular discoverer report is being run?

Hi there,
We run discoverer(4i) reports from portal. The question is:
How to find out the number of users and how often a particular discoverer report is being run?
Many Thanks in advance.
Naren

I know in the 9 versions of discoverer is there is a Discoverer v5 Business Area that is included out of the box. You have to have the stats turned on inside of the pref.txt. But that BA has all of the information to create queries about who, what, parameters, etc. You'll have to check and see if its part of 4i.

External Web Service - User and password in HTTP header

Hi!
How is it possible to add user and password in the HTTP header in a external web service call?
I have created a "Portal Service from WSDL file - Client side" with the wizard in SAP Developer Studio. I following the Java Development Guide - Web Service Security, and use the <i>secured service connection</i>. I have also created a new <i>System Landscape</i>, but should the new system be based on HTTP, my own PAR or what?
How can I check that the user and password is added to the HTTP header or the SOAP envelope? Do I have to scan http traffic with a proxy as Paros or can I find the request sent from SAP EP in the logs?
Cheers

Hello All,
I have been struggling a bit while putting a reasonable security framework on a jax-rpc style web service. I'm using JWSDP1.2 to set up the webservice. I've tried to outline my problem below. Please correct me where I'm wrong.
I've been through the Sun's WS tutorials, but they are not really clear on security. However, from them I surmised that there are two decent authentication techniques. HTTP Basic and mutual authentication (MA) . Both have their drawbacks though. HTTP Basic suffers from poor encryption while MA is a bit difficult to set up on both client and server sides. Another problem with MA is that there is no central repository for users/passwords.
OK, what I would really like to do is use my own user database to verify users/passwords i.e. use a HTTP Basic like authentication (but at application level) but run it over SSL for encryption. It seems simple, but is it possible?
Also, I have noted that when I use HTTP Basic on the service side, and use a java client, then setting username/password has no effect. In other words, I can always access the web-service, even with wrong username/password.
Sorry for the long post. Hope someone can help. Thanks.

SMB on Server 10.5.6: Vista user needs to enter user and pass after restart

Hello,
We have a Vista user running in XP mode connected to SMB on OS X Server 10.5.6. After every log out or restart windows ask the user to enter the user and password. We have checked the remember user and password box but the windows can't remember the user and pass...
What could we do?

Is your server bound to AD, and your PC clients as well (probably) ?
First, stop SMB.
Then, backup /etc/smb.conf
Then edit it (use nano or vi or emacs via the Terminal. If you must use the GUI then use TextWrangler.
Make sure the file permissions are preserved.
under the [global] section of /etc/smb.conf, make the following modifications (add the entry if it's not there):
security = ads
windbind separator = +
; auth methods = guest opendirectory
ie: comment out "auth methods" via the ";"
Start smb and compare. Anytime you make a change in the GUI tools, verify your edits are preserved.

Check Printing- New Check number even the old is not voided

Hi Experts,
I am facing 2 issues during check printing:-
1] User is allowed to print a new check even though the old check is not voided, whereas user should be able to reprint only if the old check is voided. How can we do that??
2] Old check lots need to be hidden, since user might wrongly select the older lot and print a check from the same, cant we deactivate these lots in any way. Please let me know if we can hide the check lots which is already used?
Thanks!

Hi Manya
1. If you reprint a check from FBZ5, it gives you 2 options. 1 is old check and 2nd is new check. As soon as you print a new check, old check gets voided automatically
2. For locking the check lot, you can change the "Check number to" field, and system will not allow you to print check in that lot.
Example if a check lot is 100000-105000 and check numbers 104000-105000 are not to be printed, you can restrict the "Check number to" field in FCHI to 103999

Check number OverFlowing

Hi Guys,
I am facing some problem while doing check printing .
We are printing Checks thru Check Printing from Checks for Payment window and we are using check stock and we are entering the check number manuallly while adding payments.
so when we print the check the Next Check number Field in House Bank accounts is changing and while taking a print the next check number is printed instead of the manually enetered check number.
For ur info.
I have set the paper type as OverFlow Prenumber Check Stock in (Set up-Banking-House Bank Accounts)
In Print Preferences window i have set (Print on Check Stock - Over Flow Check Stock )
Is there any fault in defining all the above and   if yes pls tell me how to over come this.
Regards,
Vamsi

Hi Vamsi,
Unless you are actually printing a manual check, you don't want to enter the check number as it will be assigned when you go to print; that it why the next check number appears when you go to print. If your check stubs do run onto another page, do as Gordon mentions - change the setting so next page is blank page instead of check stock.
To print your checks:
1.   In Outgoing Payment/Checks for Payment, process payment and leave check number blank and don't select 'manual'.
2.   When you go to print, check under House Bank Account setup that the check number is correct.
3.   Print the check from either Check for Payment or Document Printing.
4. The window should confirm the first check number that will be used. If incorrect, cancel/don't proceed and fix in House Bank Account setup.
5. Once the check(s) print, verify the checks/numbers with the Check Number Confirmation window and select the applicable print status (i.e. 'confirmed', etc.). If the check stock numbers were not in order, you can update the check number in this window so the right number is linked to the applicable outgoing payment transaction.
If you go back to the Checks for Payment window, you will see the check number has been assigned to the payment (lower left field). If there is no check number and 'manual' is not selected, this means it has not been printed/confirmed.
