Create / Alter user doesn't allow special characters in password

When i try to change the password from say : vos1s05 to : vos1s05! i get the error message (missing or invalid option), i have used several special characters and all give the same error, is there a way to circumvent this, or will this be enabled in a new release ??

A password is classified as an oracle identifier and must conform to the rules for indentifiers. To include special characters you need to enclose it in double quotes e.g. "vos1s05!"

Yosemite doesn't recognize special characters in password when logging in

Hi everyone,
I installed Yosemite yesterday on my mid-2011 MBA and discovered that after restarting it, I was unable to log into it. First, I'd like to precise that I'm using a French keyboard, it could have an importance afterwards.
The password I use for my account is quite complex and uses a special character. Until now, it worked perfectly, but I discovered that, on Yosemite, I have to type twice the special character and the one after, in order to get it worked. Otherwise, it acts like if I haven't typed these two.
Also, this behavior is kind of weird because if I log out, I don't have the issue: it works perfectly. So the issue is just after a shut down/restart.
The only way I could restart the first time was by using the tool made from Apple when you loose your password (pressing the power button until it shuts down). Once my laptop entered that mode, I could just type my current password and choose a new one. But still, I don't get why it works on every screen, except the one after a shut down/restart.
I hope Apple could bring a quick fix for that because it's really annoying. Also, if someone gets the same issue, try to type twice the special character(s) and maybe the one(s) that is/are just after.
Bye.

C# PreviewKeyDown Event - Allow Special Characters

Hello,
I have a textbox and a PreviewKeyDown Event in which i want to allow Special Characters,A-Z and 0-9 only. Other keys such as keyboard modifiers, F1-F12, Esc,Tab, etc are not allowed.
private void PART_SearchText_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
TextBox searchTextBox = sender as TextBox;
if (((e.Key >= Key.A && e.Key <= Key.Z)
|| (e.Key >= Key.D0 && e.Key <= Key.D9)
|| (e.Key >= Key.NumPad0 && e.Key <= Key.NumPad9)
|| (e.Key == Key.Back || e.Key == Key.Delete))
&& (Keyboard.Modifiers != ModifierKeys.Shift)
&& (Keyboard.Modifiers != ModifierKeys.Alt)
&& (Keyboard.Modifiers != ModifierKeys.Control)
&& (Keyboard.Modifiers != ModifierKeys.Windows)
&& (searchTextBox.SelectedText.Length > 0 && searchTextBox.Text.Length > 0)
&& (searchTextBox.SelectedText.Length == searchTextBox.Text.Length))
if (SearchDeletionCommand != null)
searchTextBox.IsReadOnly = false;
SearchDeletionCommand.Execute(null);
The issue I am facing when hitting special characters (!,@,#...).
So on my laptop if i press Shift 1, i am eventually entering a punctuation mark (!) and that should work. But in above code what happens is that the conditions does not get satisfied.
Thanks,
Abdi

Thanks.
I was thinking to use ascii values.
private void PART_SearchText_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
TextBox searchTextBox = sender as TextBox;
int ascii = KeyInterop.VirtualKeyFromKey(e.Key);
if (ascii >= 32 && ascii <= 127 && (searchTextBox.SelectedText.Length > 0 && searchTextBox.Text.Length > 0)
&& (searchTextBox.SelectedText.Length == searchTextBox.Text.Length))
if (SearchDeletionCommand != null)
searchTextBox.IsReadOnly = false;
SearchDeletionCommand.Execute(null);
I am using int ascii = KeyInterop.VirtualKeyFromKey(e.Key); to get the ascii value but it does not give me the correct ascii values. For eg.. ascii value for comma is generally 88 but over here it gives me 148 or something. And that is when my
logic above fails.
Is there any workaround for this?
Thanks,
Abdi

SQL Loader doesn't handle special characters

Hi All:
My DB characterset and NLS characterset is UTF8.
When i tried to insert records with SQL *Loader having special characters, it doesn't get stored correctly, so when i try to get it out thru' SQLPlus Worksheet, it displays garbage characters.
Do we have to set something in the control file?
Pls. help.

You need to create the data file in UTF8 format. For eg. On Win2K, "Save As" in Notepad as UTF8. Or use the uniconv utility to convert the data file to utf8.
Here is an example of a control file
'sqlldr32.cnt'
load data
infile 'sqlldr32.dat'
APPEND into table nls_demo
fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"'
(myno char(10),
myname char(40),
mydesc char(1000))
null

[Solved] TTY doesn't display special characters correctly

Hello everyone.
I want to set my system language to german. I followed this tutorial: https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/Arch_Li … .BCber_HAL
Everything works good except that my TTY can't display special characters. Example:
http://i.imgur.com/ZW6kbOS.png
The is " not showing correctly at the bottom. However, the german umlaut ä works (as you can see).
I have already searched the arch forum. The only thing i have found is setting DAEMON_LOCALE="yes" in rc.conf. However, these post are already quite old and don't solve the my problem (as öäü are working). Additionally, Arch has stopped using rc.conf.
So, what causes this problem and how can i solve it?
Here are my configs:
/etc/locale.conf
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC=
locale -a

de_DE.utf8
en_US.utf8
POSIC

I'm pretty sure you have to specify font and font map in vconsole.conf
like so:
FONT=Lat2-Terminus16
FONT_MAP=8859-2
If that doesn't help it could be this.
If so try to load settings manually, I can't test German setup, but for Polish I could do this to get national characters:
loadkeys pl
setfont Lat2-Terminus16 -m 8859-2
that requires to be root/sudo
note that -m 8859-2 part is quite important
edit:
actually got all German symbols to be displayed correctly, though I do not know if they are assigned for right keys for obvious reasons
loadkeys de-latin1-nodeadkeys
setfont Lat2-Terminus16 -m 8859-2
read read topic in then link to hopefuly fix why settings are not loaded on boot

Allowing Special Characters in email subject

Hi All,
This is my first post..Here is my scenario..I have an application whereby i can send emails..I tried sending anemail with special character in subject but the recipient had a different character when received..So i changed the encoding type of message to UTF-8 and it worked perfectly..But it didnt support for all the special characters.
Is there any way by which i can send any special character in emails without any problem..This is an urgent requirement
Thanks in Advance

I have a text box in jsp where by the user can enter values for the suject..So in servlet, the values enterd in text box will be the subject of the corresponding email.. ANd also am not using any unicode..the subject comes as a string and then i encode the values..You might want to brush up on what strings are and what unicode means. Inside Java strings are unicode. But if you are sending/receiving the data in unicode through the JSP / servlet depends on the encoding set on the JSP page. If you are not receiving unicode data, you are already missing those 'special' characters before even sending the email.

Not allowed Special characters

Hi Gurus,

I donu2019t understand what invalid character it is containing
Apart from this I am getting error for the special character u201C|u201D
How to use both the special characters at RSKC
Please suggest
Thank you

Hi,
According to me ZCOITEMTX is not allowing lower case. you can check for this infoobject in RSD1, at General tab Lowercase Letter check box is check or not?
this will solve your issue.

Active Directory User which can Create a User but not Allowed to Enable Disabled Users

Hi Guys, we have a requirement to create a User Group in Active Directory which will grant its members permission to 'Create Users' but not be allowed to 'Enable' 'Disabled Users'.
We have tried delegating control and assigning permissions by going to 'Security Tab>Advanced'.
It seems like when a group is granted permission to create users, it will also be allowed to enable, disabled users.
Kindly advise if it is possible to create a user group with permissions to 'Create Users' but not be allowed to 'Enable', 'Disabled Users'.

Hi,
According to my experience, you can assign permission with create/delete user objects. If you want to disable/enbale
a user, you must be a member of the Account Operators group, Domain Admins group, or the Enterprise Admins group in Active Directory, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
In general, if you just give a user group the permission to create user objects, it cannot disable or enable user accounts. Please make sure that the permission you assigned is correct and the
user group are not the member of Account Operators group, Domain Admins group, or the Enterprise Admins group in Active Directory.
Best regards,
Susie

Javamail API doesn't support special characters in attachment file name

Hi,
We are using Java Mail API to retrieve the attachment's file name, but it sometimes returns the file name as junk character (if the attachment contains special characters) and it is not able to return original file name for some attachments:
Our code sample :
void getFileName(Part part) {
String fname=null;
fname = part.getFileName();
Actually the problem is with the attachment file name which contains special character. For example below is the attachment file name (please find the sample attached file which is causing this issue):
Sample – 1234abc.doc
From above you could see the file name contains a special character (Sample – 1234abc.doc), i.e. The character ‘–’ is not a regular hyphen character, it’s a special character. Hence the Java mail API returns the name as below:
Sample ? 1234abc.doc
So the special character is being replaced with ‘?’ symbol. But if I store this file in local folder and try reading the file name using Java IO packages, it returns the file name without adding ‘?’ symbol.
Is there any way to handle such kind of special characters in Mail API?
Regards,
Vinodh

We dealt with this issue in a private email conversation.
JavaMail is returning the correct data for the filename. The problem is in the way the filename is being displayed.

Blob service doesn't accept special characters

Hi there,
We are usign Blob REST API in our product to upload files.
The doc states about blob names:
- A blob name can contain any combination of characters, but reserved URL characters must be properly escaped.
We have problems with uploading files which names contain some special characters, even though they are escaped correctly. We get the following response:
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
Server: Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0
Date: Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:11:22 GMT

<BODY><h2>Bad Request - Invalid URL</h2>
<hr><p>HTTP Error 400. The request URL is invalid.</p>
</BODY></HTML>
Here's a list of ones we figured out that cause problems:
0x0081 - (encoded to UTF8 %C2%81 )
0x007F - (encoded to UTF8 %7F )
0xE000 - (encoded to UTF8 %EE%80%80 ) - with this one situation is strange. When it's alone we can upload such flie, but if it's followed bya chinese character, it depends:
PUT /sync/%EE%80%80.txt HTTP/1.1 <--- success
PUT /sync/%EE%80%80%E4%A1%90.txt HTTP/1.1 < --- fails (the filename: 䡐.txt)
PUT /sync/%EE%80%80%E7%BF%BD.txt HTTP/1.1 <--- success (the filename: 翽.txt)
I don't know how such filenames appeared on the client's system, but they a valid unicode filenames and Windows Explorer, Notepad, etc. handle them well.
Is this a bug, or documented somewhere? Why there's inconsietency when working with 0xE000 character?
Thanks,

Hi Arwind,
Thanks for your answer, but the unsupported character in the blob name in your code is missed (myabe due to browser copy).
Here's the snippet for you to try:
            CloudBlob blob1 = container.GetBlobReference("\uE000\u7FFD");   // <-- Success
            CloudBlob blob2 = container.GetBlobReference("\uE000\u4850");   // <-- causes Bad Request on upload
            CloudBlob blob3 = container.GetBlobReference("\u007F");         // <-- causes Bad Request on upload
            CloudBlob blob4 = container.GetBlobReference("\u0081");         // <-- causes Bad Request on upload
            blob1.UploadFile(@"D:\temp\xxxx.txt"); // <-- Success
            blob2.UploadFile(@"D:\temp\xxxx.txt"); // <-- Fail
            blob3.UploadFile(@"D:\temp\xxxx.txt"); // <-- Fail
            blob4.UploadFile(@"D:\temp\xxxx.txt"); // <-- Fail
(\u4850 - 䡐 , and \u7FFD - 翽)
Note that these all are valid characters in Windows file system and exist in filenames on our client's computer.
We are uploading to the cloud, not to the dev storage (though I dont' see any dev storage blob names limitations)
Sincerely,
IP

Special characters in password?

In DS 5.2 what special characters or nonalphanumeric charaters are allowed in passwords? Are there any that I should not allow? And are there any that I should not allow in regards to other systems using the ldap for authentication?

You are strongly encouraged to allow only 7bit ascii characters in the userPassword. The DS has a plug-in which will check for you to prevent 8 bit characters in passwords. It is called the 7bit checking plug-in or something like that. You have to tell it which suffixes you want to check, and tell it which attributes (probably just userPassword).

Special characters in passwords

Where can I get documentation for restrictions on passwords. Like what special characters can be used in
passwords?
Maximum length etc?

Passwords follow the same rules as other identifiers in the database:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/sql_elements9a.htm#27566
That means:
- not case sensitive
- 1 to 30 characters long
- no Oracle reserved word
- no quotation marks
- must begin with an alphabetic character
- only alphanumeric characters, underscore (_), dollar sign ($), pound sign (#)

Special characters in password for "create database link"

It seems that one cannot create a DB link if the password has a special character in it (like '!')?
create database link MYLINK connect to SOURCE identified by mypwd! using 'MYDB'
- returns "ORA-00933: Command not properly ended"
create database link MYLINK connect to SOURCE identified by values 'mypwd!' using 'MYDB'
- returns "ORA-00988: missing or invalid password(s). This is the syntax that works in "create user".

HT3910 Hi, I'm trying to create a new account because I have bought an iMac second hand and the previous user doesn't remember his admin account password. Would someone advise me on what command prompts I need to write in order to create a new account. Th

Hi,
Just wondering how I can create a new account and password?
I've bought a second hand iMac from a dealer who hasn't fully erased the previous owner's user name and password. Therefore , I can't update or install any new password or update to Mountain Lion...
There is also no installation disc, so I don't seem to be able to reset the password that way.
I've just gone into the dos text :/root and wondered what I can do to create a new account and password without having to reinstall Snow Leopard?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Steve

Follow the steps in this article. Be sure to enter the commands exactly as written, paying attention to case and spaces, or lack thereof.
