FDM Account credentials storage?

I am having a sporadic, but recurring issue, where a Windows AD account in my production domain (PROD) is being locked out. This lockout always comes "from" my FDM server in a different domain, DEV.
The account is the service account that FDM is configured to run under. There is both a DEV\SVCFDM and PROD\SVCFDM account which have different passwords. I believe that in copying my app and database from the production installation to the dev installation, I have somehow brought over a reference to the PROD\SVCFDM account but it has the DEV... password. Consequently when it tries to log into that PROD account it locks it out.
Where does FDM store the account configuration from the Load Balancer configuration and Task Manager configuration? Is that somewhere in the FDM relational database or is it stored in the file system somewhere?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Benjamin,
I guess Password for service account doesnt get stored in somewhere FDM config . If password for the the service account gets stored somewhere in config files then the password you entered while configuring FDM should be used always as it is got stored(hard coded) somewhere in config files and changing the domain password shouldn't affect FDM login for that service account but which is not the case so basically the password gets stored in AD config side rather than the FDM side it just authenticates based on the acknowledgement from AD something like TRUE allow to login and False don't allow to login.
The passwords for native user end would be stored at FDM end but not sure of the location , happy to know further on this if someone is able to provide.
Thanks

Database Account Credentials Authentical Failure

Hello All,
I've set my Authentication Scheme in APEX to Database Account credentials (I have Oracle 10+ installed). However, when I login I get the following errors. Can someone please advise?
ORA-28007: the password cannot be reused
ORA-06512: [b]at "FLOWS_020200.WWV_FLOW_SECURITY", line 221
ORA-06512: at "SYS.WWV_FLOW_VAL", line 49

Thanks

Hi Scott:
Thanks for the clarification with Default User profile.
In my database, the authetication works for all the profiles that have DEFAULT PROFILE. However, doesn't work for DB accounts that don't belong to DEFAULT profile(these users have profile called ENDUSER_PROFILE).
So, how and where can I define multiple profiles as VALID for the Database Account authentication?
Thanks for your help!

Using HTML DB account credentials

Using HTML DB account credentials and login page, I created two groups - one for managers and one for users. The schema is to be shared and has other groups that should not be allowed to view the application. When setting rights on the page items (queries, tabs), only one group can be added. I would like managers to be able to view pages 1,2, and 3 and users to be able to view pages 1 and 2. When granting the managers rights to page 3 and users rights to page 1 and 2, this works fine for the users, but managers cannot view pages 1 and 2. If I add managers to the users group, they cannot access page 3. What is the best practice for doing this?

Thank you for responding. I apologize for being Anonymous, that was not my intention. I implemented the authentication scheme by going to the Page Definition and selecting the Region. Going down to the Authorization section, I selected an Authorization Scheme with the users that I wish to have permissions. The ability to use compound rules sounds like what I need.

Run As Account Credentials Distribution (More Secure option)

Hi
I am bit confused "in which scenarios, we should distribute Run as Account credentials to Resource Pool".
I mean we have bydefault three Resource Pools (AD Assignment, All Management Servers and Notification Resource Pool) in SCOM and we create two more pools basically for Network Device Monitoring and Unix/Linux Monitoring.
Lets take an example- I have to discover and monitor Unix computers and Network devices. So I have configured one Run As Account for Unix Monitoring and one SNMP v2 Run as account for Network Device Monitoring. So in these both scenarios, on which basis
I should distribute these Run as Account credentials and to which computers/resource pools?
Please let me know if anybody know about this.
Thanks in advance.

For Unix runas account, you should distribute the account to all UNIX machines and SNMP runas account is distributed to machines which run the network discovery rule.
Roger
This is not correct.
For UNIX/Linux monitoring, the credentials should be distributed to your custom "UNIX/Linux monitoring resource pool" or whatever your choose to call it. There is no UNIX/Linux monitoring resource pool out of the box - you need to create one, and
it can be any combination of management servers you want (or you certainly can use the all management servers resource pool if you have a small environment and no dedicate UNIX MS's).
For network monitoring (SNMP), the credentials are automatically distributed to the correct entities when you create the account in the discovery wizard (to network discovery servers class or something like that - I don't have a console in front of me...).
There is no need to manually set up distribution of these credentials.
Please answer responsibly.

Error message: .Mac account credentials validation failed for account...

I have published via iWeb for some time, but after I created a new webpage, I have been unable to publish again. This is the latest error message...
".Mac account credentials validation failed for account “account name."
I have tried publishing via wireless internet and direct connect to router, with the same results. The apple support site recommendation is to upgrade to iWeb 1.1.1 or higher, but I'm already running 1.1.2.
Thanks!

I have this same problem SUDDENLY. I never have had issues before.I have not tried to publish since 10/04 so I don't know when this started...? what is the answer. My .mac account is fine and working.

Database Account Credentials

I have the following questions:
1. I currently have APEX 2.0 in 3 databases. How can I upgrade them to APEX 2.2? APEX 2.0 uses the tablespaces called HTMLDB and FILES.
2. How can I use database account credentials in APEX 2.2? Is there any detailed instruction on the Website?
Thanks.
Andy

Download 2.2 and use the upgrade installation option. I don't understand the part about tablespaces.
About the authentication scheme, just create an authentication scheme and select the new method and try it out.
Detailed instructions on the website? What website or URL?

Connect to DataBase programmatically with Integrated Security in SharePoint - which account credentials are used?

Hi to All!
I have a simple question. I connect to DataBase programmatically, using SqlConnection and Integrated Security in connection string. It works! But I cannot understand - which account credentials are used? My Windows account(under which I was logged
in) or NetworkService Account, or something else?
If I was logged in as FBA user in SharePoint - what in this case?

Hi MaryBath,
When you use integrated security = true it means the same as integrated security = SSPI and in this case the current Windows account credentials are used for authentication and if you set the integrated
security = false you have to provide UserName and Password . so for your question it uses the current windows account credentials.
here is the Microsoft link for the same...
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection.connectionstring(VS.71).aspx
If your code is executing on server in SharePoint (in webparts or features or application page). it will take the windows account of the server to connect to the database because all are executing on server not on client machine. your
login credentials has nothing to do with it.
Note: there are 2 authentication Windows Authentication and SQL Authentication so make sure that on database windows authentication is enabled (it will only work when windows authentication is enabled....

Local account credentials and licensing

Hello, we have a Windows 2008 R2 server used for terminal services.
The server is configured and is working fine.
All domain users can login without issues.
If we login with a domain administrator account, this server successfully contacts the license server and validates.
However, we have the server locked with a local administrator account, as there is an application that runs in the background.
Because of this, we are encountering the error: "The Remote Desktop Session Host Server Configuration tool is running with local account credentials. In Licensing Diagnosis, the Total Number of licenses Available value may be inaccurate." It gives
the warning that we have a number of days before the remote services is disabled.
Obviously we don't want this to happen.
My questions is if this will actually be disabled, even though we have validated with the license server before with a domain account?
Do we have to have server locked with a domain account to get rid of this error?
Many Thanks,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
Yes, to get rid from this error and for better result you must always attach License server with Domain account. Means you need to join the server to a domain. Because the error which you are facing is due to “Issue with Credential” as License server
can’t identify the local user account credentials. In your case, you need to lock server with domain account.
Please check below article.

I have never had trouble publishing before and now I get this error

I haven't changed anything - suggestions??
iweb version 1.1.2 2006

I have exactly the same problem when trying to publish with iWeb 06- .Mac account credentials validtion failed- or iWeb opens the .Mac pane from system preferences, I insert password & username, press return, it says password valid, and nothing happens. I return to iWeb, and publishing activity has stopped.
This is clearly related to MobileMe switch.
This is a total pain- get it sorted Apple, or at lest reply to tech support e-mails.

Screen has frozen with notice of Terms and Conditions. Says that the account credentials are unauthorized. Have tried turning computer off, but cannot move the notice or see any other way.

Did you click the link in the first post I provided? It has information on how to re-set your password, this should be adequate for your needs.
BTW when replying to a post on these forums please click "Reply" in the message you are replying to. Otherwise we cannot tell who you are directing your communication to. Also in the upper right if you want to receive e-mail notifications regarding this thread click where it says "Receive e-mail notifications." This will make getting information much easier for you.

.Mac account credentials validation failed for account "myaccount".

I made some changes on my web site but when I tried publishing I got back this as a "Publish Error"--.Mac account credentials validation failed for account “dannpurvis”.
How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Dann

I had to do this four or five times - but it eventually worked!
Thanks!
One thing that I did was I went into my System Prefs
and under the .Mac, I just deleted my account name
and password in the fields, pressed enter which just
refreshed the fields to make me enter my account &
pass again. It went through verification process and
accepted my password, logging me in again.
Went back to iWeb and everything uploaded as normal.
Hope this helps.

How can I upgrade my iCloud account's storage but pay for the upgrade with another Apple ID?

I want to upgrade my iCloud account so that I can back-up my iPhone, however I would like to pay for the upgrade using a different Apple ID than the Apple ID associated with my iCloud account. I can not figure out how to do this, when I hit buy after selecting my desired plan it wants be the buy the upgrade with the Apple ID my iCloud account uses. Please help!

I don't think that's possible. (If you're trying to get it on another credit card, one option would be to purchase an iTunes gift card with it and redeem it to create an iTunes store credit. Storage upgrades will first charge your iTunes store credit before charging your card.)

Using Run As Account credentials

I want to use Run As Account (SCOM) credentials (created by me using simple authentication) in a PowerShell script (on RMS machine).
Can I be able to get the username and password and pass these into my script?
Regards,
Ravi

Hi!
Long time ago...
I assume you need to handover Username and Password as parameter to your PoSh workflow. For that you should add the following to your probe action where you trigger the powershell module:
<Parameter>
<Name>RunAsUsername</Name>
<Value>$RunAs[Name="your.mp.namespace.here.RunAsProfile"]/UserName$</Value>
</Parameter>
<Parameter>
<Name>RunAsPassword</Name>
<Value>$RunAs[Name="your.mp.namespace.here.RunAsProfile"]/Password$</Value>
</Parameter>
Within your script you can create a PSCredential object if needed:
$RunAsCredential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -Argumentlist @($RunAsUsername,(ConvertTo-SecureString -String $RunAsPassword -AsPlainText -Force))
Now you can access that secure variable in a given CMDLET (mostly by -credential $RunAsCredential)
HTH (still),
