Contribute Publishing Server - forgot password!

We have Contribute Publishing Server running and have forgotten the admin password. How do we reset this?
thanks.

I guess I didn't see anything from Macromedia that tells me
that CPS works with the new version. I'm not looking for new
features. I just want to make sure there aren't any
incompatibilities, outstanding bugs.

Contribute Publishing Server and SSO

Hello,
Does anyone know how to integrate Single Sign on (SSO) for
contribute publishing server? Basically instead of contribute
asking for authentication it sends out a request. In my
circumstance I need it to authenticate via Smart card instaed of
username /password
Thanks!

Do I need Contribute AND Contribute Publishing Server?

Do I need to have Contribute Publishing Server installed on
the web server on order to update web pages with Contribute?

Hi,
I downloaded the trial of contribute cs3 and was able to
update web pages without cps. I'm still trying to figure out
exactly what cps does though?

Contribute Publishing Server and Contribute CS3?

Is Contribute CS3 compatible with Contribute Publishing
Server? If not, does anyone know if an update to CPS is coming
soon? It's still at version 1.11. Yikes!

Contribute Publishing Server

We have just upgraded to Windows Server 2008 64 bit. I can
not find any documentation if Contribute Publishing Server will
install and work in that environment. Does anyone know?????
Thanks,
Andy

I got it to work by copying a previous installation from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008

Can not install contribute publishing server on linux

Hi, All:
I try to install the contribute publishing server on Red Hat
Linux and Sun Solaris.
It works very well on Sun Solaris.
But I have problem in installing on Red Hat 64 bit Fedora
core 6 machine, and got the error message:
"gzip: /tmp/install.dir.20676/Linux/resource/vm.tar.Z: not in
gzip format"
I even manually try to use "uncompress", "zcat" to uncompress
/tmp/install.dir.20676/Linux/resource/vm.tar.Z
but it did not work.
Any idea or suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks.

it requires a minimum of Windows 7 SP 1 before installing SQL server 2008.

Contribute Publishing server log in error

CPS server is returning the following error in a dialog while entering the password on the admin console.
"No default implementation found" . The application used to work for last 10 months without any issues. Looks like some files corrupted.
Is any one received this message before?
Thanks for your help

I got the solution. This is what I did.
These errors are caused by a classloading conflict involving different versions of the Xalan XSLT processor classes shipped with ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 and Websphere 5.1.1.SolutionTo resolve these errors, stop your Websphere server, remove xalan.jar from the /cfusion.war/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib directory and restart your Websphere server. This will cause ColdFusion to use the Xalan classes included in the /WebSphere/java/jre/lib/xml.jar directory.

Contribute 6.5 + Contribute Publishing Server

Does CPS get installed when you install Contribute 6.5 on a server? I can't find the CPS 1.11 installer ANYWHERE!

We purchased CPS several years ago, and have a valid license (and license code). We need to move the CPS server to a new piece of hardware, which is why we need the installation media.
Adobe's web site has the CPS updater ( version 1.0 -> 1.1 ).
We've looked for the installation media in the Adobe Licensing Portal - nothing there.
Doing web searches pulled up a few online discussions, one of which implies that the CPS installation files/media might be bundled with the Contribute 6.5 installation media. Our testing and your feedback confirms that is not the case.

Cannot save changes when enabling Publishing Server

I have Contribute 4 with Contribute Publishing Server 1.11.
I'm able to setup normal Contribute sites fine and was able to
setup one Publishing Server site. Now though, whenever I try to
enable Publishing Server on a site, it enables alright but when I
close the Site Administration window I get an error that says
"Contribute cannot save your changes to the website's shared
settings on the server".
I've tried checking permissions; everything seems 'liberal'
enough like Contribute likes it. I've reinstalled Publishing Server
(including deleting any _mm folders). I've attempted deleting and
re-adding sites more times than I can count. Nothing has seemed to
make a difference. Has anyone experienced this problem or have any
ideas what might be going on? Thanks very much!

Hello Nathan, I'm using Contribute 3.11 (without Publishing
Server) and I'm experiencing the same issue: "while trying to setup
the admin password".
It seems to me that this is a bug from Macromedia... and
hopefully they will respond to us.

Error when enabling publishing server

The Contribute Publishing Server console on my web server
provides the following URL for enabling publishing services:
Click Enable Publishing Server, and enter:
https://svr-ehrenwerks:8900/contribute/
In Contribute, when I adminster the website and attempt to
"enable publishing server" using the provided URL, an error message
shows up telling me the publishing server at
https://svr-ehrenwerks:8900/contribute/ does not respond.
This URL does not exist on my win2003 server. My guess is I
need to set up an actual domain to replace the svr-ehrenwerks part
of the url and include a virtual directory called "contribute"
under this domain in order to make all this happen. Please help me
"enable my publishing server." Thanks!

How did you install CPS? Which OS are you running?
1. Simple Installation
2. War Based installation (deploying war file on your app
server)
Nope you dont need to create virtual directory---
Once you install CPS 1.x? (Simple installation), at the end
of
successful installation, go to your browser and type
https://localhost:8900/contribute/ and see that you are
viewing the
certificate and it allows you to login.
you dont need to create any virtual directory..

Contribute Publishing Services and Windows Server 2008

Has anybody been able to install Contribute Publishing Services 1.11 on a 32-bit Windows Server 2008? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I was able to get it "installed" by copying a previous installation from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008. Got a blog post about it here:
http://onceuponans.blogspot.com/2009/04/installing-contribute-publishing.html
I think our next rev of the website probably won't use Contribute any more. Too bad, really - I rather liked it.

Blackberry ID - forgot password, forgot password recovery info, exceeded login attempts, why can't BB send me email to reset password.

THE ISSUES ARE:
1. FORGOT PASSWORD
2. FORGOT PASSWORD RECOVERY INFO
3. EXCEEDED ATTEMPTS TO LOGIN
I HAVE READ OTHER PEOPLES FORUM PROBLEMS THAT ARE THE SAME. WHEN I FOLLOWED LINKS THAT SUPPORT GAVE THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM.
What I need is simply this: Blackberry to send me a RESET PASSWORD link to the email I have registered with Blackberry WITHOUT HAVING TO PROVIDE PASSWORD RECOVERY INFO. This will enable me to bypass unknown recovery password info and access my Blackberry ID account.
Why haven't I been able to find a solution to fix the problem?
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO EXIST........ ANYWHERE..... EVEN ON YOUTUBE BLACKBERRY ARE RUNNING AN OUT OF DATE SOLUTION CENTRE.
When looked online to Blackberry youtube video it shows a solution that doesn't exist! WHY? BECAUSE IT WAS UPLOADED IN 2011. DUH. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvdRb4qNG1M
If I can't remember my password or recovery password info there is NO other option available that will send me a reset password via email so I can keep my current BB ID.
KB34776 - does not apply because you HAVE TO BE ABLE TO REMEMBER YOUR RECOVERY PASSWORD!
CHECKED THIS OUT...
Workaround
If the BlackBerry ID password has been forgotten but the answer to the password recovery question is known, select Forgot Password on the smartphone and answer the recovery question to generate a password reset email. Follow KB28685 to complete this process.
If the BlackBerry smartphone user knows the email address used for the BlackBerry ID login but is unable to remember the associated password then it is possible to reset the password using the steps below:
Note: If the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed, it is necessary to provide the answer to the password recovery question as part of the web based password reset flow.
To see if a BlackBerry ID account is confirmed, log in to the BlackBerry ID account, select Account Details and locate the Email Status field.  For instructions on confirming the BlackBerry ID account follow KB34137.
Browse to the following URL using a desktop browser, the BlackBerry Browser on the BlackBerry smartphone, or the Browser on the BlackBerry PlayBook: http://blackberryid.blackberry.com/bbid/recoverpassword
Enter the BlackBerry ID Username (email address) and the CAPTCHA characters, then clickSubmit.
Enter the Answer to the Password Recovery Question, then click OK.
Note: Answering the recovery question is only required if the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed.
A confirmation message will be displayed A password reset email has been sent to [email protected], at which point, a reset email will be delivered to the associated email address inbox.
Log in to the email account associated to the BlackBerry ID using the desktop browser, BlackBerry Browser on the smartphone, or the Browser on the BlackBerry PlayBook.
Locate the password reset email and select the Change your BlackBerry ID password link.
Note: The BlackBerry ID reset email will come from [email protected]. If the email is not found in the inbox, check the mailbox's Spam or Junk folder.
When the password reset page loads, enter the Answer to the Password Recovery Question, enter the New Password, Confirm Password, then click Submit.
A confirmation message will display once the changes have been saved successfully.
Moving forward use the newly created password whenever logging into BlackBerry ID.
If the BlackBerry smartphone user does not know the email or password that was used for the BlackBerry ID, the BlackBerry ID will be locked out after 10 unsuccessful login attempts. See KB24157 for BlackBerry ID lockout behavior.
THEN CHECKED KB24157......
Overview
BlackBerry ID is the master key to BlackBerry smartphone products, sites, services and applications, including BlackBerry Protect and the BlackBerry App World storefront.
To prevent unauthorized access to the account, the BlackBerry ID will become locked out after a number of failed attempts. See the information below for an outline on the expected behavior:
Local Authentication Lockout
On BlackBerry PlayBook and BlackBerry smartphones if the user enters their BBID password incorrectly 10 times on the BBID sign in screen, verify password screen, or BBID Edit screens, they are LOCKED OUT of all the following functions on that BlackBerry device for 15 minutes:
Authenticating with their BlackBerry ID on the sign in screen
Authenticating with their BlackBerry ID on the verify password screen
Authenticating with their BlackBerry ID on the BBID edit screens
Note: The user can still log in on the web or any other devices associated with their BlackBerry ID. They are only locked out on the device where the 10 incorrect attempts occurred. On the locked out device, after 15 minutes, they get 1 try to provide the correct password on the sign in and/or verify password screens. If they fail to enter the correct password, they are locked out for an additional 15 minutes on that device.
Account Server Lockout
Users have total of 10 attempts to enter their password correctly against the BlackBerry ID Account Server.
The scenarios that increment the Account Server lockout counter are as follows:
Providing an incorrect password anywhere on the BlackBerry ID web portal (blackberry.com/blackberryid)
Providing an incorrect password within the BlackBerry ID Edit feature on any BlackBerry device or BlackBerry PlayBook
Note: if a user provides an incorrect password 5 times on the BlackBerry ID web portal (blackberry.com/blackberryid), and then 5 more times on the BlackBerry ID Edit feature on their BlackBerry PlayBook, the cumulative number of failed attempts is 10. Once the user has made 10 incorrect attempts to provide their password against the Account Server, they are locked out of the Account Server PERMANENTLY until they reset their password.
See KB26361 for information to reset a BlackBerry ID password
Note: The Account Server Lockout does NOT prevent the user from local authenticating on devices (the user can still authenticate on the sign in and verify password screens on their BlackBerry devices).
Forgot Password Lockout
If the user answers their Security Question incorrectly 10 times, they are locked out for 15 minutes of Forgot Password functionality on all interfaces such as:
BlackBerry website (blackberry.com/blackberryid)
BlackBerry PlayBook
BlackBerry smartphone
Note: After 15 minutes, they get 1 try, and if they fail to answer the question correctly, they are locked out for an additional 15 minutes.
THAT DIDN'T WORK SO NOW ITS BACK TO..... KB26361
Overview
To change the BlackBerry ID password, complete the steps below for the specific device:
From the BlackBerry 10 smartphone:
Swipe down from the top bezel on the home screen and select Settings.
Scroll down and select BlackBerry ID.
Select Change Password.
Enter the current password in the Current BlackBerry ID Password field.
Enter the new password in the New BlackBerry ID Password and Confirm New Passwordfields.
Select Submit to complete the password change.
To confirm the change You have changed your password will be displayed.
Also, if the BlackBerry ID password has been forgotten, select Forgot Password on the smartphone and answer the recovery question to generate a password reset email. Follow KB28685 to complete this process.
Note: When using the recovery question password reset method, the generated email will be delivered to the BlackBerry 10 smartphone if the BlackBerry ID email address has been setup via Settings >Accounts
From a computer:
Visit http://www.bbid.com/ from a PC or BlackBerry smartphone browser.
Click Log in.
Enter the BlackBerry ID Username (email address) and password, then click Sign In.
Click Account Details.
Next to Password, click Edit.
Enter in the current password, followed by the new password. Enter the new password again in the confirm password field, then click Save.
Click Done to exit from the BlackBerry ID account information screens.
From the BlackBerry smartphone running BlackBerry 6:
Navigate to Options > Third Party Applications > BlackBerry ID.
Click on Change next to BlackBerry ID Password.
Enter in the current password, followed by the new password. Enter the new password again in the confirm password field, then click OK.
A confirmation message will display Your password has been successfully changed.
Click OK.
From the BlackBerry smartphone running BlackBerry 7:
Navigate to Options > Device > BlackBerry ID.
Click on Change next to BlackBerry ID Password.
Enter in the current password, followed by the new password. Enter the new password again in the confirm password field, then click OK .
A confirmation message will display Your password has been successfully changed.
Click OK.
From the BlackBerry Playbook tablet:
Navigate to the Options icon.
Select BlackBerry ID.
Click on the Edit button next to Change Password.
Enter in the current password, followed by the new password. Enter the new password again in the confirm password field, then click Submit.
A confirmation message will display You have changed your password.
Click OK.
If the password for a BlackBerry ID account has been forgotten and the login is unsuccessful, use the following process to reset the password.
Note: If the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed, it is necessary to provide the answer to the password recovery question as part of the web based password reset flow.  To see if a BlackBerry ID account is confirmed, login to the BlackBerry ID account, select Account Details and locate the Email Status field.  For instructions on confirming the BlackBerry ID account follow  KB34137.
To generate a password reset email, complete the following:
Browse to the following URL using a desktop browser, the Browser on the BlackBerry smartphone or the Browser on the BlackBerry PlayBook: http://blackberryid.blackberry.com/bbid/recoverpassword
Enter the BlackBerry ID Username (email address) and the CAPTCHA characters, then clickSubmit.
Enter the Answer to the Password Recovery Question, then click OK. (Answering the recovery question is only required if the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed)
A confirmation message will be displayed A password reset email has been sent to [email protected] , at which point, a reset email will be delivered to the associated email address inbox.
Login to the email account associated to the BlackBerry ID using the desktop browser, BlackBerry Browser on the BlackBerry smartphone or the browser on the BlackBerry PlayBook.
Locate the password reset email and select the Change your BlackBerry ID password link.
Note: The BlackBerry ID reset email will come from [email protected] If the email is not found in the inbox, check the Spam or Junk folder.
When the password reset page loads, enter the Answer to the Password Recovery Question, enter the New Password, Confirm Password, then click Submit.
Note: Answering the recovery question is only required if the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed.
A confirmation message will display once the changes have been saved successfully.
Moving forward use the newly created password whenever logging into BlackBerry ID.
Note: If the BlackBerry ID email address is a BlackBerry mail address (e.g. <username>@tmo.blackberry.net), the BlackBerry ID password reset email will not be received on the BlackBerry smartphone. Since the BlackBerry mail address is not accessible from a computer, the steps outlined in KB28111 will need to be performed.
IT ALL LEADS BACK TO THE SAME UNHELPFUL NON-SOLUTION OF USE THE PASSWORD RECOVERY QUESTION....
Can the tech department of Blackberry please sort out this ridiculous unhelpful system by sending customers a direct email if password is forgotten so they can reset without having to go through the above without finding a solution.
THANK YOU.

But do please keep in mind that security is a 2-way street...the human element play an equal part in that security, and you have failed at that in this situation, yet desire for the automated methods to still recover for you. Such just isn't possible, because your failure has exceeded the capabilities of the automated methods.
Hence, you likely need human intervention from an actual BB representative, which is not available in this forum (as discussed in the first link I gave you above). But, the methods to attempt to seek human intervention are posted within the 2nd link I gave you.

Enabling Publishing Server

Hey All,
I am a newbie here trying to install CPS. I was successful on
the web server side and I installed C4 just fine, however, when I
am in adminstration and I try to enable my publishing server (ie.
enter in the url to my CPS) It says my web server is not
responding.
I ensure the port was open in my firewall, I can ping my web
server successfully but....well now I am stumped...any ideas would
be greatly appreciated.

Hey solostruggle,
First, tks for responding, I really appreciate it.
When I installed CPS it asked me to create an admin password
but I do not recall creating a username???
I did use the file-based method of adding several users to
CPS including myself. I have even made my password the same as the
admin password and still the same message ..... "Server
mymachinename not responding"

Forgot Password Functionality.

Hi Guru's,
I've gone through some of the metalink notes to understand how the oracle provided forgot password link works in applications.
My findings were:
1) Have to set value to 8 for "Local Login Mask".
2) WF Notification Mailer needs to be set, with IMAP Server configuration to get incoming mail.
Hope, these two configurations is enough to enable the oracle provided forgot functionality. Please let me confirm this. - If it is not, please let me know what are the other configurations are required.
Also read, User Management need to be configured - Is this true ? If it is please suggest some document.
Also found one another metalink note as we dont have IMAP server set- regarding implementing forgot password functionality without inbound server. I've followed the note, still i am not getting mail to my outlook.
Please help!
Thanks with Regards,
Naresh Mushkam

Hi,
You can use the wwv_flow_fnd_user API. This API has a reset_pw procedure with these arguments:
P_USER VARCHAR2 IN
P_SECURITY_GROUP_ID VARCHAR2 IN
P_MSG VARCHAR2 IN
Refer to the following post for further implementation:
