Entrprise Manger encrypted

I have added https://hostname:1158 to the Trusted Sites!!
I got a res://iframe.dll error
I unistalled Oracle 11g and reinstalled, at end of installation I got the Enterprise Manger is encrypted again??
When I try the https://hostname:1158/em I get the res://iframe.dll error again???
I can login to Oracle: startup & shutdown.
The Enterprise Manger & res://iframe.dll error is the issue??
Do I need to use:
emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop (??)
1) Why am I getting the res://iframe.dll NOW??
2) What command would I use to reinstall the Entrprise Manger??
Can anyone please help??

I had the same problem with the encryption, and when I tried to login to the console, I received an invalid username/password error. After finding this post, I successfully removed the encryption. To my dismay, I am still receiving the invalid username/password error, yet I can login through SQLPLUS.
Any ideas?Sure. Roughly 50-60 different ideas.
However, to my dismay, my crystal ball is not able to look over your shoulder.
Let's say we'll pass on valid ideas to you once you pass on details.
(stuff like the actual URL used, the actual userID used, whether you correctly used SYSDBA vs NORMAL as the mode, the output of "emctl status dbconsole" on the actual machine, etc.)

  • How can I mange a wireless router behind a wired router?

    I've got cascading routers configured as recommended in Linksys Answer ID #3733.  Wired router BEFSR41 is closest to Internet and wireless WRT54G  is behind it.  I want to mange the wireless router remotely.  Should routers be on the SAME IP segment or different IP segments to accomplish this?  What special settings are needed?  What is structure of browser address to access administrator logon of second router? 

    It sounds like you want to be able to remotely admininister the entire network, via the Internet  ---  sorry, I don't know how to do that part of your problem.
    However, the network setup itself sounds fairly simple:
    It sounds like you want a network like this:
    Modem  ----  BEFSR41  -----  WRT54G   )))))  wireless computers
                              |                            |
                 wired computers        optionally more wired computers
    The best way to set this up is to leave all your devices on a single subnet (for example, 192.168.1.x ) and convert the WRT54G to a WAP (wireless access point).
    BEFORE connecting the two routers, set the WRT54G to the following:
    Local IP address:   192.168.1.2   (this assumes BEFSR41 is still set to 192.168.1.1, with default DHCP server range, and that you are not using 192.168.1.2 elsewhere in your network)
    SSID:  use a unique name   (Note:  do not use "linksys" )
    SSID broadcast:  enabled
    encryption method:  optional
    encryption key:  optional
    If you want your wireless computers to only be able to access the Internet, and not each other, and not any printers or other network devices, then set "AP isolation" to "enabled"  for this increased security.
    DHCP server:  disabled
    Next, power down entire system.   Then wire any LAN port from BEFSR41 to any LAN port on WRT54G.  Do not connect anything to Internet port on WRT54G.  Note that all remaining wired LAN ports on both routers will be functionally identical, so you can plug your wired devices into any of them.  If you need more wired ports, add an SD208 or SD216 switch to either, or both, routers.
    BEFSR41 will control all the usual router settings:  DHCP server, port forwarding,  remote access, etc.   WRT54G will only control its own wireless settings. 
    I'm sure someone else will be able to help you with remote management of the network.

  • Default Encrypted  Password

    Dear All,
    i want to insert encrypted Password of 'password' string into table user_dtl column PASSWORD .
    How can i insert Encripted password into table.
    Thanks

    Hi Vedant,
    See the CUSTOM_HASH function that is installed with sample application in the APEX.
    Here is the code for it:
    create or replace function custom_hash (p_username in varchar2, p_password in varchar2)
    return varchar2
    is
      l_password varchar2(4000);
      l_salt varchar2(4000) := 'XFSPL28ZTWEWWM6FHWMK68AG5NQVLU';
    begin
    -- This function should be wrapped, as the hash algorithm is exposed here.
    -- You can change the value of l_salt or the method of which to call the
    -- DBMS_OBFUSCATOIN toolkit, but you much reset all of your passwords
    -- if you choose to do this.
    l_password := utl_raw.cast_to_raw(dbms_obfuscation_toolkit.md5
      (input_string => p_password || substr(l_salt,10,13) || p_username ||
        substr(l_salt, 4,10)));
    return l_password;
    end;
    i want to insert encrypted Password of 'password' string into table user_dtl column PASSWORD.The above function will give the encrypted password which can be inserted into USER_DTL as follows:
    INSERT INTO USER_DTL(USERNAME,PASSWORD) VALUES(:P1_USERNAME, CUSTOM_HASH(:P1_USERNAME,:P1_PASSWORD))Be sure that PASSWORD column in USER_DTL is of type VARCHAR2 and of adequate length as to accommodate the encrypted password.
    Hope it helps!

  • Bit locker drive encryption failed due to power failer and hard disk corrupted

    I ran Bitlocker drive ecryption drive D. My pc is windows 7 ultimate, while it was in progress of 1% due to power failer the encryption failed, when power resume the drive didn't showed the file format nor the size but it shows the size in disk management.
    It showed like this in My computer
    I do Have the recovery code password and back of recovery password so I ran the "manage-bde-_unlock D:-rp[my code ]
    and my pc got hang  no other option rather than to press the restart button. 
    then I used commang "repair-bde -force D:I:-rp[my rp] and following info showed but it stucked in 1% about 8 hours, and there was no increase in the pecentage
    I also connected the hardisk to mac but all othe partation showed but didn't showed the encrypted one.
    I had lots of memorable picture and other backups so any one kindly help me to get out of this problem. Thanks for help

    Hi,
    The BitLocker encryption and decryption processes can be interrupted by turning the computer off, and it will resume where it left off the next time Windows starts. This is true even if the power is suddenly unavailable.
    Bitlocker-repair (repair-bde)  tool
    can't repair a drive that failed during the encryption or decryption process.
    In addition, could you please explain a bit for what drive you are trying to deal with? external one?
    When you first restart your PC, have you seen any signs that indicate that the encryption is in process?
    Regarding your scenario, please take a look to see if the following articles could help here:
    Scenario 11: Recovering Data Protected by BitLocker Drive Encryption (Windows 7)
    Besides, when running manage-bde command, did we followed the steps mentioned in the below article?
    Scenario 14: Using a Data Recovery Agent to Recover BitLocker-Protected Drives (Windows 7)

  • Data Recovery from Partitioned and formatted Bit Locker Encrypted Drive

    Recently because of some issues in windows 7 installation from windows 8 installed OS. it was giving as the disc is dynamic windows can not be installed on it. so at last after struggling hard no other solution i partitioned and formatted my whole
    drive so all data gone included the drive which was encrypted by bit lockers.
    For recovery i used many software such as ontrack easy recover, get data back, recovery my files professional edition but still i couldnt able to recover my data from that drive. then i found some suggestion Using CMD to decrypt my data first 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee523219(WS.10).aspx
    where it shows it successfully decrypt my data at that moment my drives were in RAW format excluding on which windows is installed and then in CMD i check Chdsk which also shows no problem found. but now problem is still i coudnt able to recover
    my data then i format the drive D and again tried to recover data using above software after decryption still no result. 
    Now i need assistance how i can recover my encrypted drive as it was partitioned and also formatted but decrypted also as i have its recovery key too. thanks

    Hi ,
    I am afraid that we cannot get the data back if the drive has been formatted even if use the
    BitLocker Repair Tool.
    You’d better contact your local data recovery center to try to get data back.

  • MBean creation: Encrypted = "true" doesnt work in MBeanAttribute

    Hello!
    I'm trying to create a custom AuthenticationProvider for WLS7 (up to
    date with service packs) and use the
    weblogic.management.commo.WebLogicMBeanMaker to create the necessary
    stubs. The authanticator should remember the system user and its
    password, so I created the following two <MBeanAttribute>s for the
    MBeanType:
    <MBeanAttribute Name="SystemUser" Type="java.lang.String"
    Writeable="true" Default=""system"" CachingDisabled="false"
    CurrencyTimeLimit="-1" Deprecated="false"
    GenerateExtendedAccessors="false" IsIs="false" Iterable="false"
    LegalNull="true" Listen="false" Log="false" NoDoc="false"
    NoDump="false" Readable="true" Visibility="1" />
    <MBeanAttribute Name="SystemPassword" Type="java.lang.String"
    Writeable="true" Default=""password"" Encrypted="true"
    CachingDisabled="false" CurrencyTimeLimit="-1" Deprecated="false"
    GenerateExtendedAccessors="false" IsIs="false" Iterable="false"
    LegalNull="true" Listen="false" Log="false" NoDoc="false"
    NoDump="false" Readable="true" Visibility="1" />
    It works fine as long as I leave out Encrypted="true" in the
    SystemPassword, but if I do this, I can find the password hanging
    around in cleartext in the /domain/userConfig/Security-folders. If I
    use Encrypted="true" it compiles fine, the server starts up fine, I
    can configure it without a problem. But as soon as I set the password
    in the admin-console and restart the server I get the following

  • Encrypted="true" does not encrypt MBean attribute

    Hi,
    I have developed a Custom Weblogic Security Service Provider. I have also created
    an MBean
    to manage my provider. One of my MBean attributes is as follows:
    <MBeanAttribute
    Name = "JdbcPassword"
    DisplayMessage = "The JDBC Password to the security database"
    Type = "java.lang.String"
    Writeable = "true"
    Encrypted = "true"
    Default = ""password""
    />
    I have specified Encryped="true" above, however, the value I put in the Weblogic
    Console
    is still seen in cleartext in the config.xml. Why isnt it being encrypted? Or
    do I misunderstand
    the purpose of the Encrypted attribute?
    Thanks,
    Proneel.

  • RBACx Encrypted Password Change Utility

    Hi all,
    In the OIA/SRM installation guide, there is a reference to a tool, to find out the password of rbacxservice.
    "Oracle Identity Analytics utilizes an encrypted password when communicating with the database.
    To change the default database password, use the RBACx Encrypted Password Change Utility"
    Could you please help me finding out this tool.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Warm regards,
    Manipradeep Sunku.

    The mentioned tool only encrypts the password so that you don't have to store a plain text password in the config file. It does not decrypt it. The default rbacxservice password is rbacxservice.
    The tool does not come with the OIA/SRM distribution so if you need it, you will need to contact support.

  • Does iTunes have a default password for initial encrypted backups?

    I have an iPhone that was connected to iTunes for the first time today.  It is a company device and IT has set a policy to require backups to be encrypted.
    When I first plugged the phone in, iTunes automatically did a backup as it had never seen the device before.  Due to a software issue, Apple recommended that I do a restore to factory settings and then restore from backup, so once the initial backup was completed, I performed the restore to factory just fine.  However, when I attempted to restore from backup, I was prompted for a password even though I was never prompted for a password when iTunes created the backup.  I have tried every password I can think of including my company domain password, iTunes password, iPhone passcode, etc...etc...to no avail.
    Does anyone know if there is some default password that iTunes using when doing an initial backup without prompting the user for a password?

  • Can my MacBook Pro use boot camp with Windows 7 with BitLocker encryption?

    I'm at wit's end with this, and I'm hoping I can get some advice here.  I've read so many forum, posts and reviews that I'm not entirely sure what I can trust.
    I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro (MacBookPro8,3). I need to run Windows encrypted for work purposes. It needs to be real windows with full-disk encryption (FDE). The business tools run in boot camp, but not in Parallels, because Parallels doesn't support DirectX 11. I would also benefit greatly from an SSD.
    I do not want to do anything hacky like removing the Mac reocovery partition, because I've read that just loading Disk Utility in OS X might mess up your patrition boot tables as it tries to "fix" things. I don't want to have to manually reocover to fix stuff or chance losing data.
    I have read (and tried) installing BitLocker on Windows 7 Ultimate under boot camp, but ran into the partition limit on my internal HDD. A maximum of 4 partitions are allowed, and between OS X, its recovery, boot camp, and the Windows partition, all 4 are used.
    I have considered one of the following, which may work:
    Install OWC's Data Doubler Kit with an additional 240GB SSD (http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DDMBS6E240/). I would replace the internal SuperDrive with the HDD, and install the new SSD on the faster SATA 6G port. Windows would be installed on the SSD and OS X would stay on the HDD.
    Replace the internal HDD with a new SSD (keeping the SuperDrive). I would lose OS X altogether and just have Windows installed.
    Forget the entire thing and just buy a PC for work.
    My thoughts are that with option both options #1 and #2, I don't even know if these setups will allow BitLocker. In both cases, Windows will be the only partition on the drive, so I'm assuming that when BitLocker is installed, there will be room for the new partition it creates. With option #1, I'm pretty sure I'd still be using Boot Camp, but how would that would for option #2? Is boot camp used even though there is no Mac partition? Would I still need to keey the Mac Recovery partition for this to work? I'd probably need to use Boot Camp drivers under Windows, I think.
    I'd certainly be interested in using a self-encrypting drive (SED), especially a SSD, but I'm concerned that most of them appear to require TPM or BIOS functions that Mac's EFI does not provide. Such a drive would allow me to drop BitLocker, but I would need to be use the self-encryption actually works on this setup. From what I've read, most of the SED drives will work just fine under EFI, but you won't be able to set or access the encryption password, which pretty much makes these drives unencrypted.
    I've read that BitLocker can be configured to use a flash drive as a decryption key, but I haven't been able to test that yet. I'm tried creating bootable flash drives under Windows and OS X, and none of them seem to appear when I access the boot menu (hold option during boot chime). I don't even know if this system supports bootable USB flash drives, or whether they can be used as a BitLocker key under boot camp.
    For the record, I have attempted to use an external thunderbolt drive as my Windows partition, but Windows doesn't want to be installed on removable media, and even if it worked, I believe you can only boot OS X from thunderbolt. I do have a second OS X install booting from the thunderbolt drive, so I know that works. Also, FileVault 2 is installed on my OS X partition, and I read something about FV2 using the Recovery partition somehow so you can't remove the recovery partition to make room for BitLocker.
    So ... does anyone have any suggestions preferably based on personal experience as to whether options #1 or #2 should work for my needs?
    At this point, I'm really thinking I should just bite the bullet and purchase a PC that I will forever look down upon.

    Are you using a MacBook Pro? Is everything installed on the same drive?
    I would love to know how that install was performed. When I install Windows under boot camp, my MacBook Pro drive ends up with 4 partitions: Mac, Mac Recovery, Windows, and a small partition that I believe is used by boot camp.
    Installing BitLocker on Windows requires the creation of a new small partition that Windows will boot off. The small partition is unencrypted, while the primary Windows partition will get encrypted. The following post discusses the maximum partition issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22753791#22753791
    Has anyone installed Windows through boot camp on it's own drive, and if so, can BitLocker be installed on that without reaching any partition limit? I'm assuming that's possible, but would like to know before I spend hundreds on new hardware.

  • Can't connect to router through airport (problem with encryption)

    We have a small office network with several computers connected to a wireless router. A while back all the macs using airport suddenly were no longer able to connect to the internet (email still worked fine) while the windows computers on wireless and macs on lan still work fine.
    The router is using WPA personal encryption, and when using this the macs can connect to the wireless network no problems, but then they aren't able to use the internet. as i said though email still works without any problems. We spoke to the tech support at our ISP but macs aren't very common in south africa, so they just suggest we change the encryption from WPA to WEP encryption. I tried both 64 bit and 128 bit but every time i get an error saying: There was an error joining airport network. If I turn off encryption though everything works fine and the macs are able to access the internet without any problems. Anybody have any ideas what might be wrong?

    I am having the same problems since 3 days ago (Imac core 2 duo 20" 2,16). I think it was after the 10.4.10 upgrade.
    I haven't tested if I can connect an open network (without encryption).
    I can't connect to internet using the wifi network... sometimes, i can't even locate the SSID's network.
    Even using windows xp with bootcamp i can't use the network, so it's really strange. This can only be firmware/hardware... cause XP on my mac was able to connect and now it can't too. I tried with other computers (notebook) and i can connect without problems.
    Have you solved this issue ?
    Anyone can help?

  • Can i recover lost data from encrypted drive by Bitlocker

    Hello Dears. I had encrypted my drive by Bitlocker in windows 7. 
    few days after my friend did quick format in my encrypted drive.
    my 300 gb of data lost. and nothing saved
    i remember unlock password. 
    how can i recover my data ??? i need my data
    i tried drive recovering tools (advanced EFS data recovery, easeus . . ,) . but . . . it's encrypted and formatted drive. 
    can i undo quick format and decrypt ???
    sorry my english is not good.
    someone help me please. 

    BitLocker is not the cause of failed to recover files. 
    Format a drive will clear all data saved on the hard disk. Thus recovery formatted data will be a hard disk based technology but not related to operation system. There is no build-in data recovery feature in Windows operations. So we will needto use third party recovery tool or contact third party data recovery company for current issue.
    As recovery missing data service will be expensive, we can also check emails and contact friends to see if that can help get a part of files back especially for photos, documents etc.

  • Disk Utility create encrypted disk image hangs

    I'm trying really, really hard to backup my data but apple is not making it easy for me.
    I need my files encrypted for an offline backup. Time machine only allows home folder to be encrypted, and due to my home folder being on my SSD drive I cannot fit my files all in there, not by a long shot.
    Using Disk Utility, I choose "new disk image from folder", and select "read only", 256-bit encryption. Some of the folders worked. However some will just hang for hours on "Creating Image, copying...". I can see at the destination the dmg file has stopped incrementing larger. It has reached the full size of the folder approximately. Does apple fail at some file types? I already ran disk repair several times to no avail. I don't know what else to try, it just doesn't want to work. All I want is an encrypted backup, that any OSX install can retrieve without any special software involved. Sometimes I'll get a very unhelpful error message "Operation not supported". Whatever that is supposed to mean. Google was no help so hoping for some insights here.

    Create an encrypted sparse disk image instead of from folder, mount it, and then drag & drop your files into ii.

  • Hard Drive Encryption Issue

     
    This is in regard to hard drive encryption issues in my USB Hard drive. I have Windows 7. I was encrypting my USB hard drive and
    was able to enter a password. However, I did not receive any prompt to save the Bitlocker recovery key.  During encryption process, I received an error. The encryption process was unsuccessful. However, now when I plug-in the hard drive, I receive the
    following message on the status bar:
    Application and Device Control rule Block writing to removable media. Unencrypted drive found (No_Encrypted_Found) has blocked edpa.exe trying to access Volume
    {e3901a75-f1ff-11e1-817c-806e6f6e6963 alpha-numeric number appearing here}
    When I try to open the drive, it asks for a password. When I enter the password, I am receiving the following error message:
    Bitlocker Drive Encryption failed to recover from an abruptly terminated conversion. This could be due to either all conversion logs being corrupted or the media
    being write-protected.
    I have read that Bitlocker repair tool can help resolve this issue.
    However, I just have the password that I had set to encrypt the drive and Bitlocker recovery key identification. Can this help to get access to my hard drive data  using the Bitlocker tool.

    Checked this ?
