Converting a pre-Access 2000 database w/ user-level security to Access 2010

Hi -
An old database was passed down to me and I'm tasked with converting it so that we can use it with Access 2010. Sounds simple. However, I'm blocked in every attempt that I make to convert, export, and, in some cases, modify the database, due to not
having the "appropriate permissions". We (my manager and I) do not know the original owner, and we do not have the original workgroup file. I've had our IT guy check to make sure I am the system admin on my machine in hopes of that making a
difference - I was even able to create new workgroups and add and remove users to and from those groups but when I tried to convert (or save) the database, write some vba code behind the database, create and save new forms, or even update certain tables,
I'm told to contact my system administrator or original owner of the object about giving me the "appropriate permissions" to do either of those things. I'm out of ideas here. I've even had a team of people contribute ideas as to how I can get around
this. I cannot even convert this old database (which is in .mdb format, fyi) to an MDE. Is there any way that the user-level protection can be removed from this database? I'm hoping for an alternative other than to start over from scratch.

Hi,
As you said that the .accdb format does not support replication or user-level security, we need to use the MDB format in Access 2010. Please try to follow the steps to remove the user-level protection:
1.Start Microsoft Access, and log on as a member of the Admins group.
This can be the administrator account that you created when you secured the database, or it can be any member of the Admins group. Be sure that you’re using your own security-enhanced workgroup information file when starting Access.
2.Open the database.
3.On the Tools menu, point to Security, and then click User And Group Permissions.
4.In the User And Group Permissions dialog box, assign full permissions to the Users group for the database and all the objects in the database.
Because all users are automatically part of the Users group, this step has the effect of concealing security again.
5.Click the Users tab, click Admin in the Name box, and then click Clear Password.
Clearing the password for the Admin user disables the Logon dialog box that is displayed when you start Access. All users are automatically logged on as the Admin user the next time they start Access. This step disables the Logon dialog box for all databases
that are using the same workgroup information file.
6.Restart Access.
7.Create a new database, and then import all objects from the security-enhanced database.
You can accomplish this easily by using the Import command (File menu, Get External Data submenu).

Problem converting captured SQL Server 2000 database to Oracle

Java(TM) Platform     1.6.0_17
Oracle IDE     2.1.1.64.45
Versioning Support     2.1.1.64.45
After creating MWREP user, granting it privileges and creating the migration repository, I have captured a small SQL Server 2000 database (1 table), but after performing "Convert to Oracle", I get the message that it has transformed correctly, but no converted model is shown. I was originally using the JRE supplied with SQL Developer 2.1.1, but replaced that with 1.6 U17 after researching the problem here.
The only message in the Migration Log is as follows:
Catalog RAC, Schema dbo coalesced to single schema dbo_RAC
The following message appears in the console:
SELECT DISTINCT(REF_ID_FK), REF_TYPE FROM MD_ADDITIONAL_PROPERTIES WHERE PROP_KEY IN (?) AND CONNECTION_ID_FK = ?
I have tried this with a more complex database, with no luck.
Any thoughts?

I did an offline capture.
I used Tools->Migration->Third Party Database Offline Capture->Create Database Capture Scripts to generate scripts OMWB_OFFLINE_CAPTURE.BAT, SS2K_BCP_SCRIPT.BAT and sqlserver2000.ocp. Then the SQL Server DBA ran OMWB_OFFLINE_CAPTURE.BAT and sent me the output.
I used Tools->Migration->Third Party Database Offline Capture->Load Database Capture Scripts Output to capture the model into the repository successfully.

How to set users level security profiles and auditing?

hi,
We are using EBS 12( 12.0.6 ) with database 10g (10.2.0.3) on Linux redhat 4.
I want to set the all user level and site level security profiles like user login attempts, password attempts, case sensitivity, and all these

Try this in a TEST instance before you promote it to Production.
You will need to bounce the application services and enforce the users to sign off/on after setting those profile options.

Instance Level Security (user level security) ?

Hi, I would like to have instance level security in my ejbs. That is I want to verify that the person calling my CMP ejbs is the one who logged-in. I don't want the logged-in user accessing someone else's information. I would like to know what is the best way to implement this?
I was thinking along the line of having code in my cmp's ejbload method. The code would find the user owner of the record it belongs to by navigating to the owner using the cmr relationships. Let us say that there are three cmp beans: user, order and orderlineitem with the following relationships:
user has 1-to-n relationship with order. Order has 1-to-n relationship with orderlineitem. So, in my orderlineitem->ejbLoadmethod, I would try to find the user to it belongs to by navigating to user bean and finding the userlike this:
String userName = getOrder.getUser().getUserName();
if (userName.equals(ec.getCallerPrincipal().getName)) {
System.out.println("user is right");
} else {
System.out.println("user is NOT not the right user");
Is this a good idea? Is there a better way to do this?

When I go to application server controlHow you are accessing the ASC? Please also check your IE settings.
Additionally you can review
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25221_04/core.1013/b25209/tools.htm#i1055655
I do think that the error is related to role. You can also check the above link under heading (Creating Administrative Users and Assigning Administrative Roles).
Hope it is helpful.

Operating System : Win 2000
I have successfully run the simpapp example with WTC as the connector between
the remote domain (tuxedo) and local domain (WLS).
Now, i want to perform authentication, the documents are not being of much help
so can anybody give me any suggestion to create domain level security and ACL.
Please note, i'm just using the services (import).
As per the documents and newsgroup,
i made changes to the TUXEDO ENVIRNMENT, ubbdomain, adding SECURITY , AUTHSERV
parameters in it.
Also made respective changes in WTC, but when i run the example,
it throws an exception as TPENOENT.
Thank you in anticipation.

Oracle Virtual Private Database (VPD), Column Level Security

Hello,
About Oracle Virtual Private Database (VPD), is it possible to set a Column Level Security without setting a Row Level Security (without using any predicate)?
Thanks,
Herve.

Thanks, Zoran.
A colleague shared with me a link containing a function without returning a predicate (in using SYS_CONTEXT function to skip row restriction).

Virtual private database: "dynamic" colum level security

Hi all,
I have to find a solution to enfore security on a table with sensitive human resource data. For each column in that table we assigned a sensitivity category like public, private, sensitive or highly sensitive. Now we want depending on the user that queries the table, to mask the fetched columns according to the user's assigned security level.
Example:
Table T with:
Column A (public)
Column B (private)
Column C (sensitive)
Column D (highly sensitive)
User 1 (with assigned security level as "public") can only see column A; columns B,C,D are masked.
User 2 (with assigned security level as "private") can only see columns A and B; columns C,D are masked.
User 3 (with assigned security level as "sensitive") can see columns A,B and C; column D is masked.
User 4 (with assigned security level as "highly sensitive") can see all columns; nothing is masked.
Is it possible to achieve that using VPD in an oracle 10g database? As far as I know we can define security relevant columns in a policy but these are fixed! :-(
Is it possible to dynamically change the releveant security columns or am i forced to choose another solution?
Many thanks,
Sebastien

Billy,
Just after posting my earlier reply, I decided to go through, in detail, what I had suggested. Then I realized that my reply was not correct for OP's question. My mistake! (when am I going to learn to "practice before I preach"?:( )
Sebastian,
My apologies for incorrect reply.
Billy's suggestion is correct. In fact, Tom comes to rescue here (again). Here he describes how a similar requirement can be addressed by using combination of views and application contexts. You do not need to use DBMS_RLS. In a nutshell, you can
a) create a view that uses application contexts, on base table
b) set the value of application context (to level i.e. PUBLIC/PRIVATE etc.) when user logs in
c) revoke SELECT priviledges on base table
d) only grant SELECT access on the view.
I guess this is pretty straightforward.

Apex User Level Security

Hi,
I have configured the APEX 3.2.1 with Oracle 11g. I have following requirement,
When user login to the http://localhost:8080/apex page then user should be able to access only "SQL Worksop" and no other feature of APEX.
Can anybody tell me how can I achieve this?
Thanks and Regards,

[READ HERE|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/nav/portal_booklist.htm] Hello
In APEX there are different roles for different users which can be either: ADMIN, DEVELOPERS or USERS.
Developers can view all of the development tools which includes: APPLICATION BUILDER, WORKSHOP and UTILITIES.
Investigate more on this... READ HERE

User Level Security

Hi All,
I want to restrict my data depending upon the user's profile stored in the database table.
I want user's to vie reports using Discoverer Viewer and want to restrict them to see the data of their importance.
Some one told me that we can make connection in the server and at the run time it returns the &username parameter of the user and we can put the filters accordingly.
Please help me how to archive this task.
I would certainly look to the detail solution.What I need to do as a Disc Admin and what changes are required in the reports.
Thanks

Hi Rod,
I got it, and had captured the LOGIN_USER.
Now the problem is:
I am using a table SECURITY_ACCESS_MV_D to apply security to a user.
I am using the below query in customer folder as:
select a.emp_id,a.empname,a.salary,a.mgr_id
from emp
where salary is not null
and (emp_id,mgr_id) in ( select distinct emp_id,mgr_id from SECURITY_ACCESS_MV_D where login_user ='HIM'
I am using IN because I have many other column in SECURITY_ACCESS_MV_D, not used in above query which will create Cartesian join if I exclude them in the main query, if I use the simple join in the query.
Now problem is how can I use the LOGIN_USER item (it will come when the certain user will login) in place of 'HIM' ( hard coded value). I want this filter (as mandatory) in the Discoverer Administrator EUL so that it is independent to the user reports.
I can’t find using type of parameters there as in reports we do.
Hope you got it.
Once again this article will greatly help everybody in security while implementing the OD solution.
Thanks,
Himanshu Tiwari

VB 2008, CR component and MS Acc: how to access with database(not user) pwd

These are the detail of the query:
1. MS Access 2003 and later database via OLE DB provide for entry of a u201Cdatabase passwordu201D to provide additional protection.
2. In VB 2005 and in VB2008 environment I have managed to establish a connection with a database password and open recordsets using ADO connection. See code below.
Note. stPassword is user password and stDBPassword is database password with the following code:
With cnn
          'set connection string
          .ConnectionString "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Password=" & stPassword & ";Data Source=T:\CPI.mdb;User ID=" & stUser & ";Persist Security Info=False;" & "Jet OLEDB:System database=t:\cpi.mdw;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=" & stDBPassword
          .Open()
End With
3. When using Crystal Reports component supplied with VS 2008 I can only provide USER NAME and USER PASSWORD. No information is available how and where to enter DATABASE PASSWORD to the Crystal Reports component. As a result, Crystal Reports Viewer starts to run. Obviously access is denied because no DATABASE PASSWORD has been provided to the component. A common dialog comes up to enter database password.
4. User does not necessarily need know the DATABASE password and I am not interested in providing the database password to every user who runs reports. In this project database password serves as a form of protection from tampering with the database structure and contents through the use MS Access to access the database.
5. Here is the code to demonstrate logon via Crystal Component described above:
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
And then in a sub:
    Dim cnnInfo As ConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo()
    'cnnInfo.DatabaseName = cnn.DefaultDatabase
    cnnInfo.UserID = stUser
    cnnInfo.Password = stPassword
No place to input DATABASE password!!!
Does anyone know how can I input database password or provide a connection string or maybe ADO connection object which is opened within the project code.

It seems like it is not possible to set the DB level password with the CR Visual Studio bundled version (as stated in the following KB c2010267). You would need to use the full version, and use the code below:
Symptom
A VB .NET application uses Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET as the reporting development tool.
A report is created that connects to a password protected Microsoft Access Database.
How do you pass a password (for database level security) or a password and user ID (for user level security) at runtime using the different connection methods(Native/ODBC/OLEDB)?
Resolution
To pass the database level password or a user level
userid/password at runtime, use the following code
sample:
'Add the following namespaces to the top of the code
'page
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
Dim crReportDocument As New ReportDocument()
Dim crConnectionInfo as New ConnectionInfo
Dim crtableLogoninfo As New TableLogOnInfo()
Dim CrTables As Tables
Dim CrTable As Table
crReportDocument = New CrystalReport1()
With crConnectionInfo
<**Insert code from below depending on the type of
connection and the version of Crystal Reports you are
using**>
End With
CrTables = crReportDocument.Database.Tables
For Each crTable in crTables
crTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo =
crConnectionInfo
CrTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo)
Next
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource =
crReportDocument

Different Pre-Windows 2000 domain and FQDC.

I have a SBS 2003 box that was originally migrated from SBS2000. i just finished install new 2012 standard server and installed AD service on it, but when i trying promote to DC, it won't do it until functional level raise to least 2003 level.
My question is following:
when user login, user uses pre-windows 2000 login name.
For example, DC11\user but FQDC is DC1.local. we have no DC11 exist.
When user trying login as DC1\user, it won't able to login. even Administrator has to login as DC11\administrator not DC1\administrator.
When i look user properties account login name user @dc1.local and pre-Windows 2000 name DC11\ user are listed.
if i raised to Windows 2003 function level, did user can't login? or any effect?
Thanks

DC11 is the NetBIOS name of your domain and it can be changed using Active Directory Domain rename tools -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/bb405948.aspx - if you don't want to use DC11 in your environment. However, this could have impact other applications like Exchange,
as Exchange doesn't support domain rename.
Another option for you would be to deploy a new Forest or domain with the names that you desire and migrate stuff - Users/Workstations/Servers/Application and get rid of old domain.
UPNs ([email protected]) is easy to change but changing NetBIOS is a complex process and needs to be done with extreme care.

Information Regarding Essbase Security Except Filter Level and User Level

I have an requirement to implement data level security in Essbase. For ex: A user can only see those data which are from Asia region or an user will be able to see those data which are from America.
Asia and America are defined in my location dimension.
can any one explain about it without using user Level Security and Filter level security.
Please tell me how to do it?
Thanks in advance.

Sandeep's reference the DBAG and the section on filters is the right direction. The filter is created in EAS.
Let's use an example.
You create a METAREAD filter (that is, it filters both data and dimensionality) that gives a user limited access to the Location dimension (I think I have that right), e.g., the British Isles, the UK and Ireland. You can also create a READ filter but it only limits data and, in my opinion at least, causes confusion because users can see metadata (the whole world) but only see data for the British Isles.
NB -- filters can be assigned to individual usernames or to groups that users are members of. For a POC, I'd keep it simple and just assign it to a username, but it's your choice.
Assign the filter to the user in Shared Services.
Try connecting to the database in Excel through the Classic Add-In or SmartView to test what the user sees -- it should be: Total Location, British Isles, the UK, and Ireland. You will see Total Location (top of the dimension) because that's how Essbase navigates down -- it has to have the dimension name to find the limited children. You won't see any data there. But you will see data at the Location members that the METAREAD filter allows.
That's it -- it's been around since the year dot, and is the way access is restricted. You shouldn't need to reinvent the wheel to get this to work in OBIEE. Essbase should do the work.

Exemple:
domain name domain1.com
and User Logon Name (pre-Windows 2000) Domain2\user

If you have trust in place, then also you can use trusted domain name to login from trustee domain. Also, UPN suffix can be added.

ACS External Windows Authentication: Pre-Windows 2000 name only works

Hello. I have attempted to map ACS to Windows AD 2003 as an External Database. That works, but only if I authenticate using the Pre-Windows 2000 name (sometimes called the "down-level" name).
If I use the Windows 2003 login name, I get a 529 error in the event viewer, stating the username/password is incorrect. This error appears on the Windows 2003 SP1 server running ACS.
Curiously, if I authenticate using the down-level name, the successful event shows the same authentication package (MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0) and "Workstation" and "Login Process" name (CISCO).
I cannot determine if this is an ACS or Windows problem. Any one have a clue?

Win2003 logon name: [email protected]
A Pre-Windows2000 name: [email protected]
Interestingly, the down-level name will authenticate, but the "up-level" name will not.
