Hi,
Please see (How can the Applsyspub Password Expire? [ID 605570.1]).
Alter the profile as per (403-Forbidden Error Accessing Forms on E-business Suite (fnd_icx_launch) [ID 556761.1]) to avoid having this user locked (the same applied for APPS and APPLSYS users).
Thanks,

Clients connect to wifi with certificate that expires every month - correct way to handle expired certificates?

Hi all
I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask this question. Also my knowledge in this area is somewhat limited, which I why I need your help :-)
We use wireless networks primarily in my company for all our clients and use a certificate to authenticate to the network. This certificate expires after 1 month and we automatically renew them 1 week before expiry. Relatively often we have users that
are not connected to the network for a few weeks or more and then the certificate expires before being renewed. Then we have to connect them to the wired network to get the certificate updated, so they can connect to the wireless network again.
What is the correct approach to solve this issue? We feel extending the life of the certificate would be a too big security compromise. Is there some way you could automatically allow an expired certificate briefly with the sole purpose of renewing the certificate?
Or how would you normally resolve this issue?
Thanks for any help/knowledge you can provide :-)

> Setting the validity period that high, means that the certificate could be cracked before expiry.
then you should be scary of CAs which validity is 10 or more years. And they use the same cryptography as end-entity certificates (key length and signature algorithms). It is a paranoya. Just make sure if client certificates use at least 2048 bit long
keys and use SHA1 (or better) signature algorithm. In this case there is a little chance that certificate will be successfully cracked in 2 years.
If there is an evidence (or indications) of client private key compromise -- immediately revoke the certificate and publish new CRL ASAP. You cannot protect clients from key compromise by using short-living certificates, because key compromise is ususally
achieved by gaining a control over the private key (malware on client computer). Therefore, there is nothing wrong in issuing client certificates with 1 or 2 year validity.

What is the correct way to set up a new Mac

A friend of mine recently migrated from Windows and bought himself an iMac. He got the local Apple store to set up his iMac and migrate his data from his Windows to his iMac. I was recently helping him set up a few a additional things on his iMac and was supprised to see how the Apple store had set up the machine.
There was only one account set up on the iMac and all of the user data had been loaded into this admin account. Now I've only been a Mac user for about 5 years, but I was always taught create an admin account with no data on it and then set up a separate user account(s) which contain all the user data and these are used by the users to log in.
Now my question is who is right the Apple shop or me? I would e intertested to hear any experts views on the correct way to set up an OSX machine.

Both of you. Either way is acceptable. However, for a single user machine there's really no need to have more than the admin account.

OBIEE 11G Calculation the Correct Way

Hi All,
My requirement is like this that I want to calculate value Gross Profit which is simple Total Revenue - Total Expense. Now I want this to act as a Hierarchy i.e Gross Profit should be drill able to Total Revenue followed by Total Expenses. For this I created a Accounts Dimension table since no Drill Down facility is available on Fact Table(Therefore I had to move my Accounts to Dimension table rather than Fact Table). Now the problem is that there is no minus based aggregation present in OBIEE BMM layer because of which my all other sum based aggregation work correctly except where there is a negative based aggregation required like in the case of Gross Profit. Kindly Suggest what is the correct way to approach this problem. I am working on OBIEE 11g in this case.
Warm Regards
Abhishek Kapoor

Financial reporting is difficult in BI because of the user preference of how to see signs on different accounts and requirements for adding/subtracting depending on the type of account.
A few ways to approach:
a. Use case statement to make total rev and total expense columns. Subtract to build a gross profit column. You can do this in the presentation services front end or the BMM.
b. If you have opposite natural signs for rev and exp, you can create an account hierarchy in the account table which will net out to gross profit. Ex:
Column 1 – account number
Column 2 – hierarchy level 1, ex Gross Profit
Column 3 – hierarchy level 2, ex Rev or exp
Column 4 – account name
Etc…
c. Remember you can always build your own drilldown using navigation links to a report instead of the built-in drilldown.
Good luck!

Is there one tell me the correct way to access remote SQL server

Hi
I have tried to access a remote SQL server by many ways but all failed
here is my trying :
String driver = "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver";
String url= "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://217.52.98.102:1433";
Class.forName(driver);
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"sa"," " );
String selectStr = "select * from FleetWatch..table_name";
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(selectStr);
DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver());
// connect to the DB by using the driver.
String connString = "217.52.98.102:1433;databasename=FleetWatch";
String strDBConnect = "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://" + connString;
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(strDBConnect, "sa", "");
String driver = "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver";
Class driverClass = Class.forName(driver, true, jdbcLoader);
Driver currDriver = (Driver)driverClass.newInstance();
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.setProperty("sa", (String)paras.get("sa");
prop.setProperty("password", (String)paras.get(" ");
String url= "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://217.52.98.102:1433";
conn = currDriver.connect((String)paras.get(url, prop);
pls tell if you know the correct way to access a remote sql server and
access it befor tell me its step to ensure it's connect

String driver = "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver";
String url= "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://your servername:1433";
Class.forName(driver);
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"username ","password " );
this user name and password may be diff becoz if u have only sql authentication then u have to know that user name or it can have windows nt authentication so if it is so then no probs can use ur windows nt login..
know the server name where ur sqlserver is connected to.
set the classpath for the sqlserverdrivers jar files which u have downloaded where ur working on.
then it works
i did the same and worked for me.
try it.

Correct Way to Look at ROWID value

I found some sql and modified it that is suppose to allow you to look at the ROWID info of a table
Can someone tell me why this does not work and what would be the correct way to get the info based on the ROWID ?
Evertyime I generate the ROWIDs and try to enter one into the second SQL statement, I get nothing back
Example:

Hi Miguel
well i am using thread based processes into oracle and some of my users are getting CGI timeouts or else getting tired of waiting and trying to do the same task again through my web app so they try it again causing a lock problem
I can see what is being locked down to the table but i wanted to know what data is being locked when trying to get updated, so i thought i could use the ROWID to look at the entry
Thanks

Attn - The correct way to connect to the repository

From iFS Product Management.
Many people appear to be having trouble connecting to the repository and are using the wrong API calls to do. The recommended API calls changed between beta and production. For the production release here is the correct way to connect:
1. Four pieces of information are need to connect to the repository
1. The iFS User Name
2. The iFS User's password
3. The properties file to be used
4. The database password of the user who owns the iFS Schema
This is different from the beta where the database password was hardcoded into the properties file.
Note that any TNSNAMES information is still containing in the databaseURL entry in the properties file.
package ifs.demo.samples;
import oracle.ifs.beans.*;
import oracle.ifs.common.*;
import java.util.Locale;
public class ConnectionTester extends Object {
public static LibrarySession testConnection()
throws IfsException
LibraryService service = new LibraryService();
CleartextCredential me = new CleartextCredential("gking","ifs");
ConnectOptions connect = new ConnectOptions();
connect.setLocale(Locale.getDefault());
connect.setServiceName("IfsDefault");
connect.setServicePassword("manager");
return service.connect(me,connect);
public static void main(String[] args)
try {
LibrarySession ifs = testConnection();
ifs.disconnect();
} catch (IfsException e) {
IfsException.setVerboseMessage(true);
e.printStackTrace();
Note that in this example "gking" is the iFS user name, "ifs" is the gking user's ifs password. "manager" is the password of the database user who owns the iFS Schema.
"IfsDefault" is the server properties file that describes the ifs connection. This file is in called "IfsDefault.properties" and is located in the package oracle.ifs.server.properties". This means that the folder that contains the 'oracle' folder that is the root of this package must be referenced in the class path when running this example.
Note, if you use the older, 3 argument form of the connect you will get an unable to connect exception as the iFS will not have the Schema Password.
null

When I run the example below on Solaris (after setting the CLASSPATH etc., I get a oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-21008: Login Failure
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-10170: Invalid name/credential.
(I am providing all 4 pieces of information for connecting)
When using the web interface the same userid and password work fine (system/manager).
Please help.....

What is the "correct" way to point iTunes to an NAS disk for my music library

I have a 3.2ghz Core i5 Mac running OSX 10.9.2, iTunes 11.3.
My music library is over 600mb, taking up a very large portion of my hard drive. I have moved my music library to NAS in order to free up space. The "keep library organized" box is checked. Every time the computer loses connection with the NAS, it moves the location of the iTunes library back to the default.
There are several suggestions or "answers" in the communities, but I have not been able to get any of them to work. They all seem like workarounds. Is there a correct way to do this?
Thank you for the help.

Best is to keep the entire library on the NAS unless you have some pressing reason for not doing so. turingtest2 article: Make a split library portable - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7392
If the NAS is disconnecting while iTunes is open that is something not built into the programming of iTunes and is a fundeamental problem of using a NAS with iTunes. Actually best is not to use a NAS. iTunes and NAS do not always play nicely together and a good number of problem posts on this forum with unrepairable broken links are from users of NAS. I know NAS owners do not like to hear this but a simple external drive is likely as far as iTunes can handle reliably. Some have gotten NAS to work but there isn't a magic solution.

Correct way to commit

Hi,
whats the best/correct way to program the following?
I want a user to commit a block before going to another block. So I have a commit-button containing commit-form. In the post-block trigger I check if there are changes and if so give a message to the user that he must use the commit-button first and then raise a failure to return the user to the block. All fine, but during the commit-form instruction the post-block trigger is fired which results in a raise failure so the commit is not executed.
Thanks
Frank

If it is appropriate for your situation the easiest way is to either clear or requery the block, then forms handles the has-anything-changed, prompt-the-user stuff for you.

What is the correct way to add behaviors to text?

I seem to be having trouble adding behaviors properly.
What I'd like to do is select a few words of text and apply a behavior to them, in particular the behavior Open Browser Window when a user clicks on the selected text. I've gotten this work in what I'm sure is not the correct way. The only way I can get it to work is if the text link also has an a href link set up (through the Properties Inspector) pointing back to this same page. Now if I simply select some text and go to add a behavior to it through the tag inspector panel a lot of my choices are greyed out. I'm not super code-savy but do I understand that these behaviors should / can only be applied to tags?
You can see samples of what I'm talking about here: http://www.philasecurities.com/luncheon_meetings.html. In the luncheon schedule, click on the "more…" links and a new, small browser window should open.
How should I be applying these correctly?
Thanks,
John

Pop-up Window in Dreamweaver (Behaviors Panel)
1. Insert an image or type some text.
2. Select it and go to the Properties Panel link field. Browse for the file or type the full URL (http://example.com).
3. Go to the Behaviors Panel and hit the plus sign to add a new behavior.
4. Select Open Browser Window.
5. Browse to file or type the URL (Yes, a 2nd time).
6. Set the height, width and other optional attributes for your pop-up window. (See link below for details)
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7b07a .html
7. Hit OK.
8. Verify that the behavior's trigger event is onClick. If it's not, click the event box to show other trigger options.
9. IMPORTANT! Go back to the Properties Panel and replace the first URL in the link field with javascript:() which makes the primary link into a null link. If you don't do this, the link will open twice: once in the pop-up window and again in the parent window.
Save your page and preview in browsers.
PS. It takes longer to explain all these steps than it does to do it.

Which is the correct way to filter/block traffic between vlans?

Hi all. My question is: Which is the correct way to filter/block traffic between vlans?
i have a more than 15 vlans. I want to block traffic between them except 2 vlans.
source vlan 3 deny destination vlan 4
#access-list 100 deny ip 192.168.3.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.4.0 0.0.0.255
and the oposite:
#access-list 101 deny ip 192.168.4.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.3.0 0.0.0.255
I have to do this for all VLANs, ono by one. Is that right?
Thanks.

There are a couple of ways to achieve that. I assume that you have a Layer3-Switch. There I would configure one ACL per vlan-interface and allow/deny the traffic as you want. Sadly, the Switches don't support object-groups yet, so you have to use the IP-networks here. Only allow/deny traffic based on networks or hosts. Don't even try to be very granular with permit/denys based on ports. Because the switch-ACLs are not statefull you'll run into problems for the return-traffic if you woulf do that. And the return-traffic of course has to be allowed also.
Another way: with the help of 802.1x you can deploy port-based ACLs for every user. That takes some time for planning, but is one of the most powerful solutions.
For more control you could remove the L3-interface from your L3-switch and move that to your router or firewall. These devices support stateful filtering and you can control your traffic much tighter tehn with ACLs on the switch.
Don't stop after you've improved your network! Improve the world by lending money to the working poor:

Clean Install on Tiger, correct way to back-up Podcast list, for reinstall?

I need to erase and install my hard drive to reinstall Tiger, I would like to know the correct way to back-up my Podcast list, so when I restore iTunes, all of my Podcast will be there, and all I will need to do is update to get the latest.
As always thank you,
Sebastian

I didn't know where the Podcast list was stored, so I did a test.
I copied the 'iTunes Library' file to new user account and launched iTunes for the first time. My library is on an EHD, so I had instant access.
The complete podcast list was present and updating was successful
If you backup the entire iTunes folder in ~/Users/YourUsername/Music, then all data is safe.
To keep all your preferences, including CD-data and iPod settings, backup the next files from ~/Users/YourUsername/Library/Preferences:
com.apple.iPod.plist
com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
com.apple.iTunes.plist
com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
CD Info.cidb
Before performing a complete re-install, I recommend to de-authorize your computer. If you format the HD, you could have an additional authorization:

Correct Way To Edit Sudoers File

I would like to grant non admin users the ability to run:
/sbin/shutdown
On my test machine I ran the command visudo. At the bottom of the file there seems to be an example of how to allow anyone in the group "users" on localhost to run the "shutdown" command. I uncommented out this line.
%users localhost=/sbin/shutdown -h now
I then logged in as a non admin user. I ran the command
sudo -l
It told me that the current user is not allowed to run sudo. After doing a bit of web search I came up with the following command that I added to the bottom of the sudoers file:
ALL ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown
I then logged in as a non admin user. I ran the command
sudo -l
User XXX man run the following commands on this host:
(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown
I just want to make sure that this is the correct way to do this. From what I found on line it would seem that any user could run shutdown on any host and that is not what I want.
One last question is, the machines are set up to NetBoot. The machine contain no internal drives. I just want to make sure that users will only be able to shut down a machine they are logged into. Thanks for all the help in advance and sorry if the question is a bit noobish.

I think I had to do something like this a while back. Let me look though my records and see if I can dig anything up.

[JSF 1.2] - Role Based Web Application: Whats the correct way of doing it?

Hello,
i have a web application that in some pages is role based. I have two database tables, Role and Permissions. Role can have 1..N Permissions and vice versa.
In one page i need to render some forms depending on user role.
What is the best approach to this?
1. I have a sessionBean and on login load all the permissions (it's less secure but faster) based on user role;
2. Everytime i use rendered="#{sessionBean.checkPermissions['can-create']}" i query the database. This checkPermissions gets the user role and retrieve all permissions of that user on demand;
The first option is faster but while the user is logged if permissions changes we might have problems.
The second, if i user 3 rendered attributes i do 3 queries to the database.
Is rendered attribute the correct implementation?
Regards.

Yes, the rendered attribute is the correct way to accomplish this.
As to the question of caching the result or querying the database each time, that is something that needs to be answered on an application by application basis.

What is the CORRECT way to sync with Palm device?

Under Tiger, do you still need to open the iSync app before syncing with a Palm device? (mine is a Sony Clie SJ22).
I used to have to sync in this order:
1. open the iSync app
2. click "Sync Now" in .Mac Sync in the menu bar
3. press the Hotsync button on my Clie.
It worked.
But I just found this support doc:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302120
which says: "To sync your Palm OS device with iSync, press the HotSync button on the Palm cradle, cable, or the device itself. Both HotSync and iSync should open during the synchronization. Note: You must initiate the sync from the Palm device or the device will be skipped during the iSync sync."
I'm confused. I tried doing it this way and iSync does NOT open automatically when I press the Hotsync button--but the .Mac status in the Menu bar is turning to show it's syncing, and my ical items SEEM to be getting updated.
Can someone help clarify how this is supposed to work? Is this new in Tiger 10.4.4?

The correct way to synchronize a Palm device using iSync 2 or later is to first insure that all three options in the General section or your iSync Preferences… dialog are enabled:
√ Enable syncing on this computer
√ Show HotSync reminder when syncing Palm OS devices
√ Show status in menu bar
The each time your synchronize, you should launch iSync. [Or, alternatively, you should have it launched at login and hidden, so that it is running each time you press your HotSync button.]
The article is mistaken about the HotSync Manager needing to be launched prior to initiating a synchronization, as that task is accomplished whenever you press the HotSync button on your cable or cradle, or otherwise initiate a synchronization event.
It is true that you must initiate it from the Palm device, a cable or a cradle. Selecting Sync Now from beneath the Sync Status item in your menu bar will not launch the HotSync process, and your Palm device will be skipped.
These are substantial changes to iSync, which came with the release of iSync 2 and .Mac Sync under Mac OS X 10.4 about seven months ago, and they are a giant step backward for Palm users.
For that, and many other reasons - including the instability and lack of reliability with iSync 2 and later, I suggest that you take a look at the Missing Sync for Palm OS from Mark/Space:
http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_palmos.php
It goes a long way toward addressing the long-term short comings of the iSync Palm Conduit by replacing it with three Mark/Space conduits - Contacts, Events and Tasks - and make synchronization of your Palm device a single-button process once again. It circumvents iSync and deactivates the iSync Palm Conduit and the HotSync Manager, eliminating three troublesome components that are a part of your current configuration. Your SONY Clié PEG-SJ22 is one of the many models supported by this package.
