Decrypt password in fnd_user
Hi,
I am trying to decrypt the password using the function decrypt provided by the fnd_web_sec API.
But when I try to give a dbms_output it doesn't print any result.
What would be the possible cause?
Any examples of how to use the decrypt function, I mean what values do I need to pass as the variables to the function.
Thanks
"set serveroutput on". This is a SQL*Plus command. You may want to try this directly through SQL*Plus before jumping to a GUI interface.

Hi
I'm new in Java and I need to create a function to encrypt / decrypt passwords using the Blowfish algorithm. I know how to create a key, but I don't know how to recover it to decrypt the password.
Another question, Is it possible to use public/private keys in this case???.
Can you give some links or examples please???
Regards
J.C.This is typically done either one of two ways:
1) PBE based encryption. This uses a password or pass phrase to derive
a key to use with a symmetric algorithm.
2) Asymmetric using something like RSA. Typically RSA is used to wrap
the actual symmetric key used to do the encryption but for very short
plaintext it can be used directly on the plaintext. Passwords are a
good example of short plaintext.
Obviously symmetric encryption is a great deal faster than asymmetric
encryption. So if your plaintext was large you would want to use
symmetric. Also Asymmetric encryption is length dependant. AKA if your
public key's modulus is 1024 bits then you could encrypt any plaintext
that was 121 bytes or shorter.
PBE takes a salt (a random byte array) and an iteration count and
hashes a passphrase with the salt iteration number of times to generate
a key that can be reproduced over and over again and used with a
symmetric algorithm. The issue here is that your salt/ic either need
to be hard coded and reused or the values for any single encryption
need to be saved along with the ciphertext. Using the same ic/salt for
a large number of plaintext to ciphertext operations can lead to a
weakening of the pass phrase (aka the key) and aids a cryptoanalyst in
breaking the code. Although it is still difficult it becomes easier
with each successive encryption.
Its upto you which route you take but you should note that private keys
used in asymmetric encryption use PBE to keep them private anyway so in
a sense if you use asymmetric encryption you are really using both
asymmetric encryption and PBE... -

From the error message “Failed to decrypt an encrypted XML node because the password was not specified or not correct. Package load will attempt to continue without the encrypted information.“, it seems that the error is caused by the password to decrypt
an encrypted XML node was not specified or incorrect.
Besides, the EncryptSensitiveWithPassword Protection level means user should use a password to encrypt only the values of sensitive properties in the package. To open the package in SSIS Designer, the user must provide the package password. If the password
is not provided, the package opens without the sensitive data and the current user must provide new values for sensitive data. If the user tries to execute the package without providing the password, package execution fails.
So in order to resolve this issue, we should provide the password when executing the package. When you execute a package with this setting using DTEXEC, you can specify the password on the command line using the /Decrypt password command line argument.

Evening. I am totally new to security. after hours of reading about keys and de-enCryption I created this experiment class, that most is copy&paste from sun. All I need is a class that in a simple way decrypt an password file.
Am I even close to the best solution? Code below has two errors, both says "cant find symbol" when mouse over in NetBeans.
public class EnDeCrypt {
static byte[] encodedAlgParams;
public static KeyPair myKey()throws Exception{
KeyPairGenerator keyPairGenerator = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("PBE");
keyPairGenerator.initialize(1024);
KeyPair keyPair = keyPairGenerator.genKeyPair();
return keyPair;
public static void enCrypt() throws Exception{
try {
Cipher c = Cipher.getInstance("PBEWithMD5AndDES");
c.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, myKey()); // *1* <---mouse over c.init says "cant find symbol"
byte[] cipherText = c.doFinal(text.getBytes());
AlgorithmParameters algParams = c.getParameters();
encodedAlgParams = algParams.getEncoded();
} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(EnDeCrypt.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (NoSuchPaddingException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(EnDeCrypt.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);

As i mention before this is new for me. Obviously.
I used the code below. Which simply hashes a password+salt, checks the hash against what is expected and then stores it. No 'decryption' involved.
And when I open the password file it shows alot of numbers and letters.And what makes you believe that these 'numbers and letters' in any way represent the 'decrypted' password?

public void storePassword(String password){
String hashed = BCrypt.hashpw(password, BCrypt.gensalt());

}Stop guessing. Start reading. Expect to find that you can't 'decrypt' the hashed passwords.

2 ways to address the problem:

stop the proxy, manually edit the conf.ldif and replace encrypted values (prefixed by {3DES})
with the value in clear.
DPS will encrypt them again during next startup.
- or
copy the dps keystore files (in alias if I remember well) to the target dps instance as the keystore

Hi...
Another thread with that same, old subject... right? Perhaps yes!! But I am not able to move further without help.
I am developing an application where user needs to login by entering the password. My requirement is to encrypt the password first (while registering the user) and store it in a database (using MS Access 2007). Later, while logging in, I need to decrypt that stored password and validate the entered password by user.
As I am quite new to this, not able to understand how to proceed. Checked in this forum, even in net - got many stuffs as well - but still I am not able to develop this.
Any suggestion, help would be appreciated.
I have few simple logics, that could be used: 1. replace each characters with the next (or next to next) characters, 2. insert some junk characters in between each characters and creating a string... etc
But I am looking for some serious encryption/decryption techniques.
Thanks in Advance...>
Oh yeah.. what an 'Aloo Paratha' with no salt. But not able to understand how to add this 'Salt' to my paratha.. :(
TiA...Suppose I had read access to the password table, where I also had an account:
| user_name | digested_password | ...
+-----------+-------------------+--
| bdlh | efagukfuilfehilef |
| smith | fiopwefiopf890fnk |
...I can't guess smith's password from his digest, but what if I notice:
| user_name | digested_password | ...
+-----------+-------------------+--
| bdlh | efagukfuilfehilef |
| smith | fiopwefiopf890fnk |
| kumar | efagukfuilfehilef |Hey! kumar and I happen to have the same digest! We have the same password! (Or as good as.) I can log on as kumar and have jolly time at his expense.
Now change things with a pinch of salt: a randomly generated unique string. One's digested_password is actually the digest of password+salt:
| user_name | digested_password | salt |
+-----------+-------------------+----------+
| bdlh | efagukfuilfehilef | efaghkku |
| smith | fiopwefiopf890fnk | h23bh9m0 |
| kumar | vjlvsr8u0w780w4bj | 789r2bh7 |Now even if kumar and I happen to have the same password, our salts make the digests different.
As for "how to digest", use MessageDigest: [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/security/MessageDigest.html] -

can someone please help??? please post example code...please don't suggest hashcode!!!
sin saiTry this, found at:
[ http://java.ittoolbox.com/documents/document.asp?i=1676 ]
You can convert your password to MD5 format as follows:
import java.security.*;
import java.lang.*;
public class PasswordEncrypt {
* Constructor for the PasswordEncrypt object
public PasswordEncrypt() { }
* This is the method which converts the any string value to MD5
format.
*@param str password
*@return encrypted password in MD5
public String encrypt(String str) {
StringBuffer retString = new StringBuffer();
try {
MessageDigest alg = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5", "SUN");
String myVar = str;
byte bs[] = myVar.getBytes();
byte digest[] = alg.digest(bs);
for (int i = 0; i < digest.length; ++i) {
retString.append(Integer.toHexString(0x0100 + (digest[i] &
0x00FF)).substring(1));
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("there appears to have been an error " + e);
return retString.toString();

Encrypt and Decrypt password auto login for Analyzer 6.5?
For Analyzer 6.5, we want user to login Analyzer without insert any userid/password, but if we put the fixed userid/password on the "Administrator.jsp" and "login.html" file. It is not secure and the source is open to everyone. Is there any way to encrypt the userid/password? Or any other way to do this? Thanks in advance.
you may put your username and password in an object(such as javabean), then get them when connecting. So others only can get your code, but not your contents.for example://--------- UserInfo userinfo = (UserInfo)session.getAttribute("USERINFO"); if (userinfo!=null){ userid = userinfo.getOlapUserID(); passwd = userinfo.getOlapPassword(); }else{ pageContext.forward( "/Error/Error.jsp" ); } ViewComp.run("Login", <%=userid%>, <%=passwd%>);//------------

Hallo I have a problem.
I have an RFC in transaction SM59 that contains a user/pass to connect to another system and it works.
I need that password and I don't know how to retrieve it!
Is there a way to hack this?
I don't like to reset it because I am not sure if there are other systems that use the user/password
Could you help me?
ThanksThis is possible if the systems do not force SNC for the transmission protocol, but not worth the hassle really as it is a pain to reverse engineer the client side storage (SM59) and tools to decode the traffic are not widely in circulation yet (although there is even a free plugin for wireshark if you are allowed to use such tools on the networks there...).
Correct approach is you should fix the user cardinality in the connections. So monitor where the logins of this user are coming from and reset them all as a workaround --> then create a dedicated user for each source connection. That way you can generate the password and no one except the secure storage area needs to know what it is (at runtime).

EBS password - 500 Internal Server Error - FNDCPASS was not able to decrypt
Hello Guys,
I am running ebs 12.1.3 on OEL6. We have been testing for about three months and sudenly there was a prompt at login to chage the sysadmin's password. After that change our system fell apart. We get "500 Internal Server Error" at any attempt to login with URL.
I proceeded to attemtp changing the passwords following MOS doc - "Removing Credentials from a HDADMINd EBS Production Database [ID 419475.1]" but ended up with

How to Encrypt - Decrypt the Passwords
Hi,
i am developing an integration between SAP and SFTP.
i want to save the encrypted password of SFTP to database tables and then i want to use the decrypted password to connect SFTP.
how to convert the encrypted password to decrypted?
can somebody help me please?
Best regards.Hi
you will have to encrypt the entered password first and compare the encrypted passwords.
Im not sure, but maybe FM VRM_COMPUTE_MD5 will do the encrypting-job.
just check it out and also check below FM
Try the DB_CRYPTO_PASSWORD function module, there's no way to decrypt it back that I know of. You just pass the user input to the function module and compare the encrypted output to the value stored in the database.
and also try this two
Use the following FM to encrypt
CALL FUNCTION 'FIEB_PASSWORD_ENCRYPT'
Use the following FM to decrypt
CALL FUNCTION 'FIEB_PASSWORD_DECRYPT'
By these FM you can encrypt & decrypt any fields of the Program.
Warm Regards

While running fndcpass to change passwords for a new clone, the apps password somehow was set to an unknown value. I know the old apps password, but am not able to successfully connect to the database with it. (I can connect with that password to the production environment which is the source for the clone.)
We have a custom script that runs fndcpass. (This was my first time using this script and creating a clone.) It makes a copy of fnd_users and fnd_oracle_userid tables. The first time I ran it, it errored. So ... I ran it again (and over-wrote fnd_users and fnd_oracle_userid). I then learned fndcpass should be run from the database server - I was on the apps server. So ... I ran it on the database server. It got to a certain point in the script and the script stopped. (I later learned this happens due to an error in the script and that one simply needs to enter the password again - but I didn't know that.) Somewhere in here the apps account became locked - I unlocked it. Now I am unable to run fndcpass because the apps password is unknown.
Does it have anything to do with the values in fnd_users and fnd_oracle_userid? If so, can I get obtain the data for those two tables from the current production database? (The clone datafiles are from 1/27/10 and today is 3/1/10). If the issue is unrelated to fnd_users and fnd_oracle_userid data, how can I set the apps password? (Oracle documentation insists that one should not use 'alter user' to reset the apps or applsys passwords.) I'm trying to avoid starting the clone over. I welcome any suggestions on how I can resolve the issue with the unknown apps password.Hi,
So ... against the recommendation of Oracle, I decided to issue an 'alter user' and change the password. Then I get the following error when running FNDCPASS: 'FNDCPASS was not able to decrypt password for <module/user> during applsys password change.' Do not use the alter command to change the password as this is not supported.
So ... then I decided I would try exp/imp the FND_USER and FND_ORACLE_USEID data from production. However, I get the following error when exporting the FND_USER data from production: 'EXP-00003: no storage definition found for segment(407, 25131).'
At this point I think I am throwing in the towel and going to start the clone over. Am new to Forum and didn't see answer in FAQ ... how do I close this?I believe this is the right approach to do for now. Once you are done with the clone, please make sure you take a backup of the two tables on the cloned instance before changing the apps password using FNDCPASS.
To close the thread, just mark it as answered.

Hussein
