Editing defaultauthenticator.dat to change a password

I can edit defaultauthenticator.dat, find the user of interest, and modify its password. How can I then actually activate that change, tell WLS about it?
I don't want to delete the user and recreate it, because that creates a new GUID, and when that happens, the user can't see or use any existing content in My Folders, and I have to blow away the webcat folder for the "old" user and restart BI Presentation Server.
Couldn't I just change the password manually in WLS, you ask? Of course. However, this is a training system. There are 50 user student IDs, all with the same password. I want to change all 50 at once, with a simple search/replace in defaultauthenticator.dat, then tell WLS to re-read the file. Delete the users and then import? That's not so good, because that causes the same trouble as noted above -- the existing My Folders becomes unuseable.
I just want to manually change passwords in defaultauthenticator.dat, then tell WLS about it.

Can SDK be used to edit PDF data?

Hi,
As what i know Acrobat SDK can be used to deal with Pdf. My application demands to edit pdf data without changing format, structure, layout etc from the source doc. I just need to modify the content. So i want to read pdf doc from beginning, extract text(either paragrapgh or statement wise), modify if needed and put them back. Is it possible with SDK? Also as what i know PDF Library SDK is not available for even trial version so how can i check it whether it satisfies my need or not before going for commercial version. Is there any other SDK which i can use that helps me with the scinario i explained.
Thanks,
Mehul

Hi Mehul,
If you go to here http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp/API_References/Acrobat_API_Ref erence/overview.html.
This is the full documentation for Acrobat ( And most of the PDF library ) and therefore you can investigate the documentation to see if it does as you would require.
using the PDF Edit API calls you should be able to extract all the text, change it, and save it to the same PDF or a new PDF.
Hope this helps

I have Elements 11. Sometimes, if I edit a photo in Elements Editor, the date gets changed to the current date. Why does that happen? It doesn't happen all the time, so I can't isolate the cause. Any ideas?

HT4759 How can I change the password on my stolen iPhone 5 which shares data with my ipad2

How can I change the password on my stolen iphon5 which shares data with my ipad2

If you had Find My iPhone activated on your iPhone, you can remotely wipe it, which you can do through iCloud on your computer. If you did not have Find My iPhone active on your phone you're out of luck.
You should immediately change all passwords for your Apple ID, email, any apps where you had a password, or any where you have credit cards tied to shopping.

but i can't find my data which i have saved on mac.the storage is showing data used and free space on the disk
please help me out in this matter.

How did you change your user name?
resetpassword wouldn't have done it. If you managed to create a new user, then your data is still in the old account.

Edit JTable Date Cell, press Enter, the Time Cell changes to GMT time!

Has anyone seen this strange behavior? I try to edit a Date Cell in JTable (orig. value 10/02/2000) and change it to (10/03/2000), I press Enter. But, the value of my Time Cell in the next column, same row which I never edited (orig. value 00:05:00) changes to approximately my system time in GMT (16:28:48).
This is an excerpt from my TableModel which get called from setValueAt():1734 javax.swing.JTable, JTable.java. In the code below, the debug statement prints out:
row, col = 0,0
Value in SubTableModel = 10-02-2000 16:28:48
Value should be "10-02-2000" since I did not edit the time cell at all. And why is row and col both zero?
public void setValueAt(Object value, int row, int col) {
try {
((ITableCellAdapter)adapters.get(col)).setData(getRow(row),col);
System.out.println("row, col = " + row + col);
System.out.println("Value in SubTableModel = " + value.toString());
((ITableCellAdapter)adapters.get(col)).setValue(value);
catch (PropertyVetoException badSet) {
System.out.println("could not set value");
fireTableCellUpdated(row,col);
How can I force it to set the date cell's new value only and leave the time cell alone?
I've also seen that sometimes my date entry gets lost, the old value still showing, what am I doing wrong? I've seen a bunch of bug parade listings about terminating edits within a JTable being buggy, is this related?
Any help on this is most appreciated!

Attribute Change Run and Editing BI data

Hello Experts,
I have two questions.(They are not related to each other).
Can BI data(Infocube data) be edited?
For eg GL account in R/3 is changed from 100 to 2100. I want to know how can this be handled in BI.
Attribute Change Run in the process chain ends with error.
"Master data characteristic ZACCTNUM activated in 6 seconds. Error while activating characteristic   ZACCTNUM ". There are no more information.
   The BWREMOTE user has the authorisation to Execute Change Run.
   What could be the possible reasons for this failure.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Meenakshi

Hi Meenakshi,
Regarding your questons:
1. You can't edit the data directly in the cube. If you have incorrect data in the cube and the data is still in the PSA you can edit the incorrect data in the PSA and you can then delete the incorrect requests from the cube. You can then reload the correct data from the PSA. If its not an option to delete individual requests you could delete the incorrect data using the selective deletion option (if you can select on the incorrect data in the cube). You could then reload the correct data from PSA or source system.
2. Please check the infoobject ZACCTNUM is active in RSD1. If it is there may be an inconsistency with the data in the infoobject ZACCTNUM, please check if the solution part of the SAP note 1033721 can help you in this case.
Best Regards,
Des.

I changed my password on my phone becuase my old one became comprimised and now i cant remember it and so i cant access my phone. is there anything i can do without erasing all my data?

i changed the password on my phone and now i cant remember what it was and im locked out. is there anything i can do that doesnt erase all the data on my phone? help please..

In that case, you will have to install iTunes on the computer, put the phone into recovery mode, and restore it as a new device. It will be wiped. Everything on it will be lost.
There is no way to bypass a forgotten lock code. If there were, it wouldn't be much good.

My email was "compromised" today and batches of unknown data was emailed to hundreds of my contacts. I changed my password. How do I let all contacts know what happened?

My email account was "compromised" today...Apple Support term but I call it a virus. I changed my password but not before batches of messages were sent to my contact list. I don't know the content but imagine it was junk type stuff. Is there a way to inform my entire contact list of this error?

It's not a virus.
You can send a message to a group of your contacts, if you feel that's necessary, as follows.
Open a new message window and write the message. From the Mail menu bar, select
View > Bcc Address Field
if not already selected. Launch the Contacts (OS X 10.8) or Address Book (other versions) application. Drag the group(s) you want to send the message to into the Bcc field of the Mail window. Send.
Note that if you address too many destinations at once, your mail server may reject the mailing as spam.

I recently changed my password to my apple id and was able to log into everything fine except the icloud on my ipad. It reverted back to an old apple id and I don't know the password. I have tried all the suggestions and no luck.

I recently changed my password to my apple id and was able to log into everything fine except the icloud on my ipad. It reverted back to an old apple id and I don't know the password. I have tried all the suggestions and no luck.

You didn't say what you've tried, but f the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How on earth do I update my Apple ID to my new email address? I keep getting moved to 'change my password' sites, but I have a new email address and need to update my Apple ID.

How on earth do I update my Apple ID to my new email address? I keep getting moved to 'change my password' sites, but I have a new email address and need to update my Apple. Frustrated!!

Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

Can I edit the rpt file & change the datasource before loading the report?

We are an ISV and our application has a lot of reports. Our reports use a SQL Server database as the data source and each SQL Server at our customer sites has a different name.
In our testing we have determined that ReportDocument.Load tries to connect to the SQL Server that is saved in the RPT. If it can't fine the SQL Server saved in the RPT the load take about 60 seconds while it is waiting for the SQL Server Connection to time out.
We are using the Visual Studio 2008 version of Crystal Reports. This did not seem to be a problem with VB6/CR8.5.
We would like to edit the RPT and change the data source to the appropriate SQL Server before we call ReportDocument.Load.
Is it possible to edit the rpt file and change the data source before loading the report?
Or is there some way to tell Crystal not to try connecting to the DB
during the report.load?
In our case we will NEVER use the data source that is saved in the RPT, we will always change the data source using ApplyLogOnInfo.
Thanks

HI Todd,
You Can Not edit the report document before ReportDocument.Load() because if you dont load the report then you dont have anything to Edit
But as far as changing the datasource is concerned you can change that at runtime.
For changing the datasource following code will help you if both databases have a same schema :
Code for changing the database
ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
crConnectionInfo.ServerName = "SERVER";
crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "DATABASE";
crConnectionInfo.UserID = "USERID";
crConnectionInfo.Password = "PASSWORD";
// Loop through the ReportObjects in a report and find all the subreports
foreach(ReportObject crReportObject in crReportDocument.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects)
     // Check the kind of the ReportObject, if it is a subreport
     // proceed. If not skip.
     if(crReportObject.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
          // Get the SubReport in the form of a ReportDocument
          string sSubreportName = ((SubreportObject)crReportObject).SubreportName;
          ReportDocument crSubReportDocument = crReportDocument.OpenSubreport(sSubreportName);
          // Use a loop to go through all the tables in the main report
          foreach(Table crTable in crSubReportDocument.Database.Tables)
// Get the TableLogOnInfo from the Table and then set the new
// ConnectionInfo values.
TableLogOnInfo crLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo;
crLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo;
// Apply the TableLogOnInfo
crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crLogOnInfo);
// Set the location of the database. This value will vary from database to
// database.
crTable.Location = "DATABASE.OWNER.TABLENAME" or crTable.Locations;
The sample for doing this is available on support site.
Thanks,
Prasad

I created a sync account with no problem, but then when I try to use it, it keeps telling me I have the wrong password or user name, even after I changed the password. It did this after I created a new account, too.

Every time I try to use my sync account, it informs me that "Sync encountered an error while connecting: Incorrect account name or password. Please try again." I tried changing my password. I even made a new account. It still does the same thing.

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
