FTP Adapter - Avoid Password in plain text

Hi,
When we configure a FTP adapter in FTP Oubound connection pool we enter password. The password is stored as plain text. It is visible to all users (even to a users who has just monitoring access). Can we have the password in protected mode.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Create credential mapping under the security tab of the FTP adapter in the deployment section of weblogic console.
Thanks,

Auto_master, mounting afp shares without username/password in plain text?

Hi,
i'm trying to mount afp-shares from a Synology Diskststation and an Airport Time Capsule via the automountd.
I've modified the /etc/auto_master as follows:
# Automounter master map
+auto_master            # Use directory service
/net                    -hosts          -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home                   auto_home       -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/Network/Servers        -fstab
/-                      -static
/Synology               /etc/auto_afp   -nosuid
I've created the /etc/auto_afp:
iTunes -fstype=afp afp://"Username":"Password"@DiskStation.local/iTunes
Data -fstype=afp afp://"Username":"Password"@AirPort.local/Data
Providing Username and Password works fine, but is there a way to make this work without the Username and Password in plain text?
Thank you.

An applescript application set as a user login item should be a better choice.
I'm just about to work this out for an SMB mount of a users Windows home (augmented AFP homes are breaking preventing the 'Mount UNC path' option in the AD plugin).
Post back if you still want info.

Essbase start scrtipt without admin password in plain text

Hey all,
I'm securing my system and one final step is the Essbase startup script.
At present its doing:
startEssbase.sh {my_admin_password}
which isnt particularly secure.
How can I secure this so that I either don't have to have the password in plain text or the password is not passed in at all ( which normally makes it start up in foreground mode)
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions

In the Essbase admin guide it explains how to hide the password on a Unix server. Click the link below and search for the following term, "Hiding Essbase Server Passwords". There is a sample script to secure the password.

Thanks for your reply.
I used the character set as you suggested.But it is not getting converted correctly.
Actual Value : (유)라이프테크놀로지스코리아
Converted Value : ( $)C @/ ) 6s@LGAEWE)3n7NAv=:DZ8.>F
I tried all others that are mentioned in the document. Still i am seeing different values. I am not getting the actual value.
But in BPEL i see correct value getting passed to FTP Adapter.
The character set is in XSD. Please find it below..

OS commands in FTP adapter

Hi Experts,
we are trying to use the OS command in the sender FTP adapter to compress the huge text files(approx 2 GB) before we pick the file to avoid the server issues.
for which we are using the OS command,
ssh -n -l user targetserver "cd /tagetdirectory; compress ExportFile.xml;mv ExportFile.xml.Z ExportFile.xml"
The above is a single command supplied by the Basis team.
the above command makes the connection to the target server with the user ( password not required)and then compresses the file.
I used the command in the sender FTP adapter as is.
But the message processing made the XI server unavailable and the process got failed due to HTTP_TRANSMISSION_ERROR
Please suggest on the OS command, Is it a right command ? or do I need to add anything to it, to make it work.
Please note that for the File Adapter transport protocol "FTP", the operating system command is NOT
executed on the FTP server, but on the server hosting the Adapter Engine ( please refer to
SAP note: 841704).
Thanks,
MK

Thanks Michal,
For "FTP" the command will be executed on the but on the server hosting the Adapter Engine, right?
ssh -n -l user targetserver "cd /targetdirectory; compress ExportFile.xml;mv ExportFile.xml.Z ExportFile.xml"
the command above is opening a secure channel from the XI host to the FTP host. We have a trusted relationship set up between the xiadm and ftpadm users which will allow this to occur without a password. and then it compress the file.
Please suggest further to resolve the issue.
I really appreciate you help.
Thanks,
MK

Credentials in plain text

I have the following code to authenticate to a SharePoint Online instance.Is there an alternative to storing the UserID and Password in plain text in the App.config?
using (ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(spSiteUrl))
SecureString passWord = new SecureString();
foreach (char c in spPwd.ToCharArray()) passWord.AppendChar(c);
clientContext.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(spUserId, passWord);
Web web = clientContext.Web;
clientContext.Load(web, w => w.Title, w => w.Url);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

hi Gerard,
Why don't you use this code ?
clientContext.AuthenticationMode = ClientAuthenticationMode.Default;or ClientAuthenticationMode.FormsAuthentication //It will open the Microsoft Login Assistant windowSo your app can understand the authentication mode of the currently logged in user and also I would suggest you to look into User Only policy or app+user policy on the permission.
By using the you don't want to store,encrypt or decryption the password. Azure AD will take care of your authentication and your app can manager the authorization.
If you are creating the any automated task (Connecting Remotely ) using Console Application , then it won't work. You need to provide the User name and password in the console window.

Plain text and attachment in Mail Adapter (Receiver)

Hello,
we have to generate a mail in the mail-adapter with a specific text and an attachment.
The attachment is a document in pdf-format, that is generated inside an adapter-module out of the payload-document.
An additional text has to be added to the mail for the receiver in plain-text-format, like "Dear customer ... enclosed you will find ...".
Is it possible to mix plain-text and attachments in the mail adapter? Does anybody know how we can do that?
Regards,
Thorsten

Hi,
yes you can do it very easily inside the adapter module
if you're already using the adapter module then
you can just enhance it a little bit
you can add the pdf to the attachment section and
leave dear customer in the standard payload
you can even make it a little bit more dynamic
and create a module that will take the input from
the communication channel config (modules tab) - for example xml tag name in which you will specify
the dear customer (or any other text) and after this
the pdf creating can use the xml without this tag...

michal

Sender FTP Adapter, text mode should convert source file?

Hi !
We have a Unix file system where systems and people drop files to be captured by XI. XI runs also on another Unix system.
We configured the Sender FTP comm channel from XI to use the TEXT mode, to have converted the captured file to Unix TEXT (eol = 0x0A), no matter the format of the file used to transfer the source file to the XI polling folder.
But we noticed that TEXT or BINARY modes in sender FTP adapter works all the same, like binary.
What are we doing wrong?
Thanks,
Matias

No. to see the difference put a gif and give txt in file adapter you will get an error for the same file u use binary it works.
their is difference b/w these . if you use special characters like european then you need to use UTF-8 or UTF-16 or bigInidan if it is binary then you output will junk charaters for these sysmobls

HTTP Receiver Adapter payload as single line plain text with out any tags.

Hi PI experts,
I have a strange problem in http receiver adapter.
Sender RFC (SAP) Receiver: HTTP.
Receiver system expects the output from XI in the below format in a single line plain text with out any tags in the payload. and the content type should be application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Group=Test&Sentinel=Web%20Server&Facility=5345&Order Number=XT-XWHM-Y-NA&Serial Number=123456&@LABEL_QUANTITY=5&@LABEL_NAME=111114_Q
Is there any way to achieve this using http receiver adapter. Business is not ready to accept the output from XI not even in a single element instead they only need it as a JUST a plain text.
Appreciate early response on this.
Thanks in Advance,
Jitender

Dear Ola,
Could you elaborate how you achieved in catching the response data from the receiver in case of HTTP receiver adapter?
The target service is not a WebService but some python script that must to receive some paramters via POST request.
HOW can I post this parameters?
Here you entered the fields of the message type of the request in the header parameters of the receiver adapter? Thats fine.
But what about the message type and vice versa of the response from the receiver?
Regards
Rebecca

Importing new users with plain text password using a csv file does not work

Hello everyone,
I am using csvde -i -f filename to import a number of users and their plain text passwords but it seems
that the "Password" parameter in my csv file is not recognized.
PS D:\csvfiles> csvde -i -f .\testimport.csv
Connecting to "(null)"
Logging in as current user using SSPI
Importing directory from file ".\testimport.csv"
Loading entries.
Add error on line 2: No Such Attribute
The server side error is "The parameter is incorrect."
0 entries modified successfully.
An error has occurred in the program
No log files were written. In order to generate a log file, please
specify the log file path via the -j option.
I'm probably doing something wrong but I can not see it. If you know what that is please let me know.
Many thanks

I suggested LDIFDE.exe or you can use the following PowerShell script to import your CSV file, if you have the Active Directory PowerShell Module installed:

LDAP -- plain text password

Hi All -
Does any one know how to retrieve the password from LDAP in plain text form?
Thanks,
Giri

Hi Giri,
Yes there is a possiblity, you can retrive password using java server side program, we had same problem and then fixed now we can retrieve password as well as Userid.
Note: we are authenticating against LDAP server and App server is
IBM WebSphere Application server.
for using below example:
public class TestServer
private void performLoginAndAuthentication()
// Get the user's ID and password.
String userid = customGetUserid();
String password = customGetPassword();
// Ensure immediate authentication.
boolean forceAuthentication = true;
// Create a new security context to hold
// authentication data.
ServerSideAuthenticator serverAuth = new ServerSideAuthenticator();
try
// Perform authentication based on supplied data.
org.omg.SecurityLevel2.Credentials credentials =
serverAuth.login(userid, password, forceAuthentication);
// Retrieve the user's name from the credentials
// so we can tell the user that login succeeded.
String username = serverAuth.getUserName(credentials);
System.out.println("Authentication successful for user: "+username);
catch (Exception e)
// Handle exceptions.
Just research or give me more details how may I can help you in this case.
Thanks

Password displayed in plain text in sql file

Hi all,
I have a shell script that calls another sql file to connect to the database and do some queries. The username and password used to connect to the databse are in plain text in the sql file. My question is how can I hide these parameters in the sql file and be able to connect to the database.
Thanks in advance.

Oracle have something to do such thing : Secure External Password Store
Laurent Schneider posted an example of usage on his blog : sqlnet.wallet_override=true
Or you have an external tool : Oracle Password Repository which seems easy to use.
