DPS - uppercase/lowercase binds

Hi:
In DPS 6.3 running on RHEL 4. I see application binds coming in twice, once for uppercase, once for lowercase, see example. Is this default behavior and can it be stopped?

Second question is our proxy services internal and external clients. As in the example above, client connections always will go to default connection handler first and then get sent to a custom connection handler after a bind. Our default connection handler is set to use all data views (internal & external). So in the example above the first bind succeeds because it found the entry in the internal directory. The second bind fails because it searched in the external directory. Is proxy designed to send all client connections first to the default connection handler? Our default handler is ordered last on the list of handlers. My concern is that if an app id connects and gets sent to the wrong data view the bind will fail.
Thanks for any assistance.

When I check the DS log, the bind is coming across as anonymous, but when I check the DPS log, the bind is coming across as cn=bogus.
I would expect when you bind as a user that doesn't exist in the directory, you'll get an error 32. To me, this is separate than allowing anonymous binds, which we do allow.
The problem we have, is that a certain device prompts user to login, before they e-mail. They have to enter their uid, and then a password. If they enter their user id and a blank password, the DPS accepts the connection, and the client believes they are now logged in as the user specified, so their e-mail address is pulled from ldap and populated. This means anyone can spoof e-mail from anyone else. This is a relatively low level problem, in terms of e-mail spoofing, but a very large problem if you think about what other access a user could be granted. I.e. if we were using DPS to authenticate users for access to sensitive information.
When I bind using a real LDAP entry, with a blank password, dps allows the connection, and forward me to a DS. Behind the scenes, it really doing anonymous auth to the back-end DS, but the client doesn't know that. When I try and bind with a real ldap dn, and a blank password, against the DS directly, I get an error 48. My question is, why doesn't DPS issue the same error code?
BTW, I was able to use ldapsearch to bind as cn=bogus against the DPS, but not against the DS.

    I am using macbook pro, been having a problem with my keyboard. Suddenly the uppercase, lowercase, numeric, etc are not working properly. I even cannot submit question to Apple, because I cannot type my password properly. Thank God I have this ipad, so I submit question using it.
    This has only been going on several days, and it managed to frustrate me, as my work is much dependable on my laptop now. Please help.....I tried everything I know, unsuccesfully. I just moved in to my hometown- a small city, nobody understand apple here, don't even have a store nor service center for apple....
    Thank you!

    Might have a hardware issue that was caused by the minor liquid spill.
    Take it to Apple to have them look at it.  I think they do a free diagnostics.  That way you can find out what's wrong with your MB.
    Good luck....Hope you get it sorted out.

  • By default, how to enable Uppercase/Lowercase Checkbox in se37

    Hi,
      I am using SUSR_LOGIN_CHECK_RFC bapi/rfc module to check Password for the corresponding User.This function module is working fine whenever Uppercase/LowerCase Checkbox is checked.If it is not im getting wrong password as the error msg.
    Tell me ,by default how to check the checkbox wherever test (f8) is executed.

    If you developed your own screen to call that function, make sure your screen field refers to a data element or domain that is case sensitive.

  • Itunes uppercase/lowercase error

    I want to report an error in Itunes.
    when one is entering information manually , in a field, (example: multiple item information window: fields composing, grouping,etc).
    itunes then displays their predictive text displaying all the recognized characters.
    as example, if the text to capure were: xxWashington, and Itunes precaptued text were XXWASH, then the itunes result is
    XXWASHington which is not "xxWashington", and Itunes does not allow the user to correct it to "xxWwashington".
    That means that is: if a predictive text were found, I Tunes does not allow the user to enter their information in lowercase/uppercase, because I tunes alter the manually entered characters to the predictive uppercase/lowercase text found automatically.
    so, Itunes does not tolerate the order of the uppercase/lowercase characters entered manually.
    I hope you can correct this bug.
    thanks a lot

  • DPS allowing bogus binds?

    I have a severity 1 ticket open with Sun support, but is there anyone out there running DPS 6.3? If so, can you test to see if you can bind to DPS as a user who doesn't exist in your ldap directory? I used the softerra ldap browser to bind as cn=bogus with a blank password, and I was able to bind to DPS and get routed to one of my back-end ldap directory servers. When I try to bind directly to the backend LDAP server, it won't work, which is what I would expect with the DPS as well.
    I tried performing this same test using the standard java ldapbrowser, but that client won't allow blank passwords, so it won't work.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Java.io.File and uppercase/lowercase

    Hello,
    I am running into a weird problem with java.io.File on a Windows system. My program needs to validate a path the user entered. Sometimes, the path will contain a directory name that should be uppercase, but which the user entered in lowercase instead, and the <File>.exists() returns true anyways. I know on Windows, on the command line, directory and file names are not case-sensitive, which is probably why it was done that way. But this is causing problems because once the path is (supposedly) validated, it is handed to a Unix program (case-sensitive), and if it's not really valid there, the user has no way of correcting it. Whereas if it were found as invalid in the Java program, I could pop up an error, and the user could correct it.
    The bottom line is, is there a way of telling a File object to return false if the path name is not EXACTLY identical, on Windows? Or would I have to check the path myself, without relying on File?
    Thanks in advance,
    J-S

    In this case, this is not acceptable, since the files or directories on disk can be in any case. I just need the entered case to be exactly the same as the files.
    In other terms, I need File.exists() to return false if the case does not match. I would think there is a way to do this, since internally, the function checks if the operating system is Windows or Unix before doing the comparison, and acts differently in each case...
    From http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/io/File.html (see equals or compareTo method) :
    "On UNIX systems, alphabetic case is significant in comparing pathnames; on Win32 systems it is not."
    I would like to force the Unix way of doing.

  • HST50: Unix - How Headstart calls forms and reports uppercase/lowercase from a Menu

    We are migrating a 'in production' Headstart generated application from Windows to Unix.
    We had to a little time in setting the lowercase implementation names, setting the prefs to generate lowercase file.....
    So good so far. When testing the application on Unix, all files are lowercase, the Forms start without a problem but the Reports won't start.... Renaming the report files to uppercase works fine.
    Going through the Headstart code for calling Forms and Reports I noticed the following:
    When calling Forms the qmslib50.qms$form.call procedure is invoked. In this procedure the follwoing statement is used:
    l_form_name := lower(p_form_name) So only lowercase will be found....
    For calling Reports from the Lauch Report Form the qms0012l.qms$report.run procedure is invoked.
    This procedure calls fill_par_list where the l_module_name is set. But in this procedure no uppercase or lowercase is used......
    Not consequent I think !!
    Is this done for a specific reason ?
    PS: Change qms0012l and it works fine.

    Hi,
    cannot use run_report_object here cause I cannot create a report object in menu (like how we can do it in forms).
    Create a generic named Report node in the forms that you reference from the RunReport object request. This way you can run Reports from a menu

  • Uppercase/lowercase problem in smartform

    Hi,
    I created smartform and print program for that.I am giving some input fields(text) thru program and printing in smartform.when I give text in lowercase/uppercase it converts and displays in uppercase.I want to print in smartform as they type in text field.What is the solution for this?

    Check in SE84 and use a domain/data element with LOWER CASE check.
    I think there is a PARAMETER addition also with LOWER CASE...just check help on PARAMETER statement or search forum for the same. Otherwise search and use some standard domain or create one for your usage with LOWER CASE check.

  • Uppercase / Lowercase

    This problem has been raised before, and Don asked me to issue a new question.
    please see the thread :-
    Re: Uppercase / Lowercase

    I have teied to make this problem as easy to understand or du8plicate as i can.
    I cannot get the query to work if the text file has a case (for the host name) different to the host name actually saved in the db.
    db links =
    Hostname_txt.Hostname --> SRMHOST.HOSTNAME
    input file hostname_txt.Hostname :-
    Hostname
    appwd644
    formula
    {if {Hostname_txt.Hostname} = {SRMHOST.HOSTNAME}
    or
    lowercase({Hostname_txt.Hostname}) = {SRMHOST.HOSTNAME}
    or
    lowercase({Hostname_txt.Hostname}) = lowercase({SRMHOST.HOSTNAME})
    then "FOUND IT"
    else "not found"
    this displays :-
    hostname srmhost.hostname
    FOUND IT appwd644
    If i change the input file to APPWD644 i get nothing.
    Database Server has Case Insensitive checked.
    hostname.txt file is a regular .txt file created with notepad.  Thanks John

  • Uppercase Lowercase Strings

    Can you convert a string to capitalize? I know UCASE will
    make the text
    all caps, and LCASE will make it all lowercase, but is there
    a way to
    make it just capitalize the first letter?
    Thanks!

    Hm, I just took out UCase and it worked. Nevermind.

  • Uppercase/Lowercase Text to be printed in SAPScript. Space Problem.

    Hi All,
    I have developed a Script for PO Display. I am writing the PO Lineitem text EKPO-IDNLF which will be maximum 40 chars in length. I have allocated some 20 characters place for the same and it is being printed in 2 lines.
    If the text is entered in small alphabets it is occupying less place and if the same is written in Capital letters it is occupying more place. i.e, the amount of place that is being occupied by this variable is dependent on the case in which it is entered.
    1. Is there any possibility to know if the text is entered in capital letters or small.  
    2. Is there any possibility to know how many characters are entered in capital letters and how many    in small letters.
    Thanks in advance for your esteemed replies.

  • FM import parameter - lowercase

    Hi,
    I need the import parameter in a FM to NOT convert lowercase letters to uppercase.
    I have defined the import parameter type a type whose domain has a checkmark in the "lowercase" (RZLLI_APCL).
    Despite this, when I run the program I see it gets converted to uppercase, also when I test the FM.  (For export parameters this is not the case).
    Anyone know if/how it is possible to do this?
    (Translating to lowercase in the beginning of the FM source code also will not do because I need to have the ability for combination of upper and lower cases).
    Thanks,
    Michal

    Hi michal,
    1. This usually happens, when we test thru se37 .
    2. for such cases,
    3. when we execute the FM (in se37),
    4. A CHECKBOX will come on top
       (Uppercase/Lowercase)
    5. Tick this checkbox.
       (It will take care of lower case and will not do any kind of conversion)

  • CS6 Sv from Raw to psd gives uppercase extension

    Using CS6 from cloud on win7 64 bit (i7 with 8gb ram)

    Saving an image from sony A65 raw (*.arw) files using the lower left [Save Image] button on the raw window produces a file with an uppercase PSD extension.
    Looking in preferences/file handling, I see it is set to save in lowercase.
    How can I make ps actually follow that setting and save with lowercase extension?

    I hope I am still not missing the point here. Bear with me, Don. Doesn't this procedure also require that if we already have these duplicte files in the same folder originally that we have to first separate them into separate folders based on extensions, then import them, and then move them all back to a single folder.
    If so, that just adds another step and increases the work involved, or have I missed something?
    I think the best solution is for Adobe to get out a 1.01 upgrade fixing this and several other very basic but now obvious design flaws before the trials and reduced price expire, or at least annonce that these will be fixed within by a given date--after all, they did set a date for this release and met it, and they have had .01 quick upgrades before.

  • Mozilla keeps putting my email address in lowercase

    mozilla keeps putting my email address in lowercase when i need first letter capitalised

    Do you mean your name in a login form?
    Make sure that you haven't saved multiple (uppercase, lowercase) versions of that name and password.
    Remove saved Password(s):
    * Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
    If you want to remove saved form data from a drop down list then use these steps:
    #Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
    #Highlight an entry in the drop down list
    #Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

  • Uppercase for Address data

    Hi all,
      I am using address node to print the address and I am passing the address number (T001-ADRNR) to the address node based on the company code (T001-BUKRS) . I am getting the proper address but my issue is to print the address in uppercase letters and I have added one program node below the address node (to use FM or to use Translate- string operation) and while debugging, its giving only the address number and not the complete address, while executing the smartform formats the address and its giving the output.
    Please help me in this regard.
    Regards,
    V Kumar

    Hi
    Its true...Like If you are using an address node, then You cant change the Uppercase using Translate and Program Lines Node.
    The below solution will work only from 4.7:
    In the address node, just check if the check box "Uppercase/Lowercase Spelling" is checked, If it is checked uncheck it and then see the output. If still, you are not getting in Capitals,then the only option left is instead of using the Address Node, give all the fields which you want to display in an text element and print them.
