Considerations to change LINUX and Oracle users passwords

Dear friends
i want to change password to the following accounts in my oracle servers:
- oracle, OS linux user.
- system, db oracle user
- sys, db oracle user.
but, i want to know what considerations must i have in order to do it that.
VERSIONS:
- Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 4) 2.6.9 5.ELsmp (32-bit)
thanks a lot.

Madrid, and everybody.
does anyone knows ...
- What is the number ID (note) in metalink where are the default account passwords when installed Oracle default database ??? (some days ago i saw but i don't remember the note)
- Are there any link when describe any consideration about OS LINUX users like "root" and "oracle" ?
i must to view that document in order to present my boss.
Thanks a lot !!!!

H/W & Data migration form AS 400/DB2 V5 R4 to Unix/Linux and Oracle

We are considering migration of huge data(in Terabytes) from AS 400/DB2 V5 R4 to Unix/Linux and Oracle.
We are changing operating system and data base also..Please advise if R98403 can be used to move data in terabytes.
I understand Oracle work bench does not support V5 R4.
I would like to know pointers on possible tools and approach for the migration.
Thanks
Las

Hi,
May I know the reason for this huge change? As most of the current setups of E1 are on AS00 only. Then also if you are planning to migrate your hardware and data from DB2/OS400 to Orcle and Unix/Linux you can consider below options for data migration:
1) R98403 and R98403A are best approach for this type of migration it may consule some extra time but accurate..! As no other tools like Oracle Workbench can
provide 100% accuracy.
2) Archive data size if possible with the help of BA team and work on some purging this will help you to great level.
3) If you decide to go live on new setup please consider going live module wise as a specific module data can be moved fast, and if BA team can specify some specific tables only getting hit for module trasection they can develop TC reports for specific data to be migrated and can save your time instead of copying entire data set again at go live.
Good Luck..!
Thanks,

How to find the forgotten oracle user password?

Hi,
I forgot my oracle user password. Is there any possibility to find the password without resetting through system user.

Going by Oracle books, its not possible, but there are ways of knowing the users password, which in other words is known as Bruteforcing.

32 Bit Installation or Oracle Linux and Oracle Database 10g

I have an old E-Machine that I wanted to put Oracle Linux and Oracle Database Express 11G on. I was just wanting to do some testing and development on the system. I'm pretty sure the machine is 32bit.
I just burned a copy of 32 bit Oracle Linux onto a CD. Is there a version of Oracle Database Express that will run on it?
It seems like there is only a 64 bit version of Oracle Express Database 11g. Is Oracle Database Express 10g installable on Oracle Linux 32 bit?
Let me know! Thanks in an advance.

One (or two) caveats with the 10g version, XE can not be patched and the 10.2.0.1 XEs were created before the current daylight savings time rules went into effect.
If you have access to My Oracle Support there is a method to get updated timezone files for the oracle binaries, you need at least version 4 of the DST files. I've got the MOS docIDs somewhere let us know if needed and I'll dig 'em up.

What do I need to install when I install oralce in linux and oracle client

What do I need to install when I install oralce in linux and oracle client in windows?
I want to connect oracle from windows to Linux, what do I need to install or setup? thanks.

Are you trying to install the DB on Linux from your Windows Box? if so, you need to have an XWindows client on your client. You have to SSH or Telnet into the box, set your DISPLAY variable. In fact, it is all in your documentation for the DB install. We still don't understand what you are exactly asking.
Do you have direct access to your Linux machine? If so, and it has a graphical GUI, then you can find install guides for most flavors of Linux at dizwell.com. His are most excellent and show examples, but do not go over the XWindows problem. You would have to resolve that first.
A free XWindows environment for Windows is Cygwin.
Once the DB is running on Linux then all you do is create a TNS entry on it on your client and it connects. It is the same as setting up a connection to connect to Oracle on a Windows box.

Install SAP ERP 6.0 with Linux and Oracle RAC

Hi Guru,
I want to install SAP ERP 6.0 with Linux and Oracle RAC. Is this possible?
Where do I find information?
Thanks,
Hugo.

Hello Hugo,
You can use either RAC or dataguard. On note [105047|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/105047]:
14. Data Guard
    o You can use "Physical Standby".
    o You cannot use "Logical Standby".
    o You can use Data Guard Broker.
    o You can use Maximum Performance Mode, Maximum Availability Mode and Maximum Protection Mode.
    o In the case of Maximum Availability and Maximum Protection, you must pay particular attention to a fast network connection in order to avoid performance problems.
    o Maximum Protection causes the primary database to terminate if problems occur in the standby database.
60. Real Application Cluster (RAC)
    o You can use this feature in accordance with Note 527843.

Installing Linux and Oracle-Partition Management

Dear Friends,
I will be using Java Linux and Oracle lite on My New IBM R40
Thinkpad, that Now Has Windows XP.
Problem at Present is Finding Free Partition Manager
for DualBoot Partitioning.

I had a similar problem. I solved it by adding the following line in /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
After that I started the installation again and the problem was solved. But, now I'm having a problem with opmn and HTTP Server. The error says:
"...Error
--> Process (pid=14674)
failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit
Log:
/u01/app/oracle/product/9.0.4/IMHome/opmn/logs/HTTP_Server~1 ..."
I'm using Red Hat ES 4. Please let me know if you can complete the installation.
Thanks,
Pablo.

Oracle user, password and admin privileges

Hi,
The "ReleaseNotes.pdf" document says:
- create the user account "oracle" with the password "oracle"...
Is the password "hardcoded" in oracle's scripts and one can't use another one? (I don't like the idea that anybody reading the documentation could login on my server)
- Set auto login for user "oracle"
Why such a setting? To simplify the install process?
- Enable OS X administrative privileges for user "oracle".
Is this setting only needed for the installation process or should the oracle user allway have administrative privileges?

These are not hard requirements. It is documented this
way to make installation process simple for first
time users.

Oracle user password into ApEx?

I'm not sure this is possible - but wish it was...
Here, Oracle user's passwords are managed by an automated process and I need to get new/changed passwords (the same one) into ApEx. It would save a lot of time and effort if I can grab, massage, and then put it into wwv_flow_fnd_user's web_password, web_password_raw.
It would be great to hear that Oracle used the same obfuscation routines for both Oracle (sql*plus) and ApEx.
Doesn't Oracle concatonate the username with the password when creating the obfuscated password? If so, is this the case for ApEx?
Any advice?

Steve,
There's an overview of some of the new features here -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/whats_new_2.2.html
However that doesn't cover a lot of the features (you'll notice that the database authentication isn't mentioned there). The Apex 2.2 release is currently running on the public Oracle server (http://apex.oracle.com), so if you already have an account on there then you will be able to see the "Database Account Credentials" method listed in the authentication types, although obviously you won't be able to use this method on the public server.
Hope this helps

Stopping Derby Server...
Edited by: user8643895 on Jan 18, 2013 9:28 AM

Hi,
This issue was occurring because stopWebLogic.sh was picking the username and password from properties user config files in user's home directory: username-WebLogicConfig.properties, username-WebLogicKey.properties.
If the credentials for weblogic server are changed then new user config files should be created, if these are not created then stopWebLogic.sh will pick up the old credentials and hence fail.
Please refer the following document for information on user configuration files:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/e13813/reference.htm#WLSTC430
Connecting to the server after deleting username-WebLogicConfig.properties, username-WebLogicKey.properties resolves the issue as it forces the script to use the credentials provided by the user while running stopWebLogic.sh
There are two ways you can resolve this issue:
1) Create new user config files with the correct credentials as explained in the following document:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/e13813/reference.htm#WLSTC430
Or
2) To force the stopWeblogic.sh script to use credentials provided by the user while running the script follow these steps:
In the stopWeblogic.sh file use the following connect command:
connect(userConfigFile='',userKeyFile='', url='${ADMIN_URL}', adminServerName='${SERVER_NAME}')instead of:
connect(${userID} ${password} url='${ADMIN_URL}', adminServerName='${SERVER_NAME}')Hence in the stopWebLogic.sh script replace:
echo "import os" >"shutdown.py"
echo "if os.environ.has_key('wlsUserID'):" >>"shutdown.py"
echo " wlsUserID = os.environ['wlsUserID']" >>"shutdown.py"
echo "if os.environ.has_key('wlsPassword'):" >>"shutdown.py"
echo " wlsPassword = os.environ['wlsPassword']" >>"shutdown.py"
echo "connect(${userID} ${password} url='${ADMIN_URL}', adminServerName='${SERVER_NAME}')" >>"shutdown.py"
echo "shutdown('${SERVER_NAME}','Server')" >>"shutdown.py"
echo "exit()" >>"shutdown.py"with:
echo "import os" >"shutdown.py"
echo "if os.environ.has_key('wlsUserID'):" >>"shutdown.py"
echo " wlsUserID = os.environ['wlsUserID']" >>"shutdown.py"
echo "if os.environ.has_key('wlsPassword'):" >>"shutdown.py"
echo " wlsPassword = os.environ['wlsPassword']" >>"shutdown.py"
echo "connect(userConfigFile='',userKeyFile='', url='${ADMIN_URL}', adminServerName='${SERVER_NAME}')" >>"shutdown.py"
echo "shutdown('${SERVER_NAME}','Server')" >>"shutdown.py"
echo "exit()" >>"shutdown.py"

Linux non-oracle user cannot connect to database using TNS

LS,
I've installed Oracle 11gR2 on a linux box (name="ilmserver") running CentOS 5.4 (based on RHEL).
Created user "oracle" and groups "oinstall" and "dba".
Installation under user "oracle" went fine, and logged in as "oracle" user I can - naturally - access the database easily (via SQL+, or using SQL Developer it works via Basic, TNS, and Advanced (=jdbc)).
I have a second user on the linux box called "informatica", on which I have installed Informatica ILM 5.3.2, which uses the Oracle database as its repository.
The "informatica" user has been granted the same groups as the "oracle" user, i.e. "oinstall" and "dba".
I have severe problems accessing the Oracle database as the "informatica" user.
Using SQL Developer I can access the database using the "Basic" method, but not TNS.
But guess what: for ILM to work to its fullest extent I need to implement an environment variable called TNS_ADMIN.
I have implemented it, it sits in bash_profile and as such works fine:
+[informatica@ilmserver ~]$ echo $TNS_ADMIN+
+/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin+
But as for being able to access it:
+[informatica@ilmserver ~]$ cat $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora+
cat: /home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora: Permission denied
Somehow I thought that granting "oinstall" group to "informatica" user would take care of this. Obviously it doesn't. I also granted "dba" group to "informatica", to no avail apparently.
This is then - I assume - also the reason that when I want to connect using TNS from within SQL Developer, the dropdown list is empty (because it's not able to read TNSNAMES.ORA).
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Thanks heaps!
Cheers, Patrick

Naturally the "oracle" user has full access to its own directories.
A thought just occurred to me. I assume that theoretically it's possible to grant read privilige to informatica user on all these directories... would that do the trick?
But even if so, makes me wonder whether that is "best practice".
Also, I cannot imagine I'm the first person to encounter this scenario, and therefore there must be some standard approach to enable this.
Any suggestions/thoughts?
As for the TNSNAMES.ORA suggestion, I guess that is possible. Makes administration of TNSNAMES a bit more cumbersome though, as in, 2 files to maintain... risk of getting out of sync when making 'quick and dirty' changes without thinking things through too much (which shouldn't happen... but sometimes does anyway).
I'd prefer a solution where "informatica" has genuine access to TNSNAMES.ORA.
Thanks, Patrick
ps the bold bits with env.var LS_COLORS are unintentional, but don't know how to turn that off

My facebook password is saved, but I changed it and the old password automaticly inserts, I need to change it.

I changed my password for facebook. The old password was saved and automatically filled in each time I log into facebook. The old password still fills in and I need to know how to change it to the new one.

Tools -> Options -> Security -> Saved Passwords.
On the list of sites select http://www.facebook.com (you should see your FB user name in the right column). Select "Remove". Login to FB with your new password and click "Remember password" when asked.

Acrobat 9 pro and Admin user/password

Every time Acrobat 9 pro on my Mac (OSX 10.6.1) is launched it sakes for my admin user/password. If I enter the info in every time I launch Acrobat 9 pro admin it works, but the next time I login with my network user account Acrobat 9 pro want the admin user/password again. What might be causing Acrobat 9 pro to want admin user/password.

If, as it it says on top of the page, the question is "possibly answered", the "1 correct answer" is not shown. The mystery and annoyance remains.
Acrobat 9 Pro (installed as part of CS4 Design Standard by the same admin user that now wants to use it, OSX 6.7) asks for my password every time I start it: "Type your password to allow Adobe Acrobat Pro to make changes." The only necessary change that I see is upgrading back to version 8, which didn't suffer from this bug.
When I click cancel (twice – the window returns once.), I'm told that "Adobe Acrobat could not install correctly. An invalid password or user name was entered. Adobe Acrobat will now quit."
To repeat it, Acrobat is already installed, and I've entered the username-password combination several times correctly to use the software, but it's not acceptable to do that every time in all eternity. Please, Adobe, fix this quickly or give solution if one exists.
