Help with Password Management!!!

I am having a problem configuring my OID password management options... the Admin guide says that I can do it through Directory Manager by selecting the server in the left hand pane and editing the data on the password management tab... problem is I have no password management tab... it's not there!
So I notice that I can also use the command line tools to modidy the entry "cn=pwdpolicyentry,cn=oracle internet" directory. I assume that "cn=oracle internet directory" is the top level of my tree... doing a search for anything cn=* from the top level results in three things as follows... none of them are the entry I want:
cn=configset1,cn=metadird,cn=configsets,cn=oracle internet Directory
cn=odipgroup,cn=odi,cn=oracle internet directory
cn=odisgroup,cn=odi,cn=oracle internet directory
OK... so in desperation I attempt to add the entry "cn=pwdpolicyentry,cn=oracle internet directory" and the server says it already exists.
Seems to me there is something messed up with my Directoty Information Tree but I don't know why that would be (I just installed and the install gave me no errors) or how to fix it. Can someone please help???
Thanks
Chris

Querying the password policy entry can be a little bit tricky unless you are very familiar with LDAP. Here's the command that does the trick:
ldapsearch -s base -b "cn=pwdpolicyentry,cn=oracle internet directory" "(objectclass=*)"cn=pwdpolicyentry,cn=oracle internet directory
objectclass=top
objectclass=pwdpolicy
cn=pwdpolicyentry
pwdmaxage=0
pwdlockout=0
pwdlockoutduration=0
pwdmaxfailure=0
pwdfailurecountinterval=0
pwdexpirewarning=0
Kind regards, Wilfried

  • Is there a Java utility class to help with data management in a desktop UI?

    Is there a Java utility class to help with data management in a desktop UI?
    I am writing a UI to configure a network device that will be connected to the serial port of the computer while it is being configured. There is no web server or database for my application. The UI has a large number of fields (50+) spread across 16 tabs. I will write the UI in Java FX. It should run inside the browser when launched, and issue commands to the network device through the serial port. A UI has several input fields spread across tabs and one single Submit button. If a field is edited, and the submit button clicked, it issues a command and sends the new datum to the device, retrieves current value and any errors. so if input field has bad data, it is indicated for example, the field has a red border.
    Is there a standard design pattern or Java utility class to accomplish the frequently encountered, 'generic' parts of this scenario? lazy loading, submitting only what fields changed, displaying what fields have errors etc. (I dont want to reinvent the wheel if it is already there). Otherwise I can write such a class and share it back here if it is useful.
    someone recommended JGoodies Bindings for Swing - will this work well and in FX?

    Many thanks for the reply.

  • Fingerprin​t Reader access to KeePass (from a Thinkpad with Password Manager)

    The goal: secure, convenient, automated login to password-protected sites
    KeyPass is a great open-source program for secure creation, storage and use of login passwords and other information. With a plugin called KeeForm, it allows very convenient automatic login to password-protected sites by clicking on a KeePass entry. To preclude unintended access to all of your secure information, it is wise to close Keepass after each use, or set Keepass to lock when minimized. But this is less convenient, because a long secure master password then has to be entered before each use of Keepass.
    Using a fingerprint reader to enter Keepass can be a big time saver while retaining security. Capacitive swipe fingerprint readers can be very secure, provided they operate through equally secure software. They are available as USB units, or integrated into some keyboards and notebook computers, for example some Lenovo ThinkPads.
    Unfortunately, set-up can be a challenge and there may be disadvantages even after the best workable interface between KeePass and a particular biometric system. This example uses the integrated fingerprint reader and software on a Lenovo ThinkPad X61.
    The problem: getting secure fingerprint software to use KeePass
    ThinkPads can use Lenovo fingerprint software alone for start-up into Windows, but they need additional layers of software (Client Security Solution - CSS, and Password Manager  - PM) to work with other programs including KeePass. PM uses CSS security functions.
    Cautions about Lenovo CSS:
    1. Some organisations advise against CSS because of problems including clashes with antivirus programs. See http://www.ncsu.edu/antivirus/lenovo/ and
    http://prowiki.isc.upenn.edu/wiki/ThinkVantage_Sof​tware_Under_Windows_Vista
    These bugs may have been fixed over time - but install at your own risk!
    2. CSS and PM introduce their own system overheads which may slow some operations.
    3. Once tried, CSS may not simply be inactivated while restoring basic fingerprint start-up into Windows. The X61 at least insists that CSS be reactivated for any fingerprint function. If you try a Windows system restore to a time before CSS was first activated, you may experience the ‘blue screen of death'. The security chip evidently regards your desire for a past configuration as a security breach. With luck you may ‘live again' if you can log into Windows in Safe Mode to undo the attempted system restore. After that, I reactivated CSS. I was not game to try uninstall after inactivation of CSS - but see the ncsu link above.
    Having decided to accept the ‘risks' of activating CSS and PM, you may want to try PM for all password management. For me it would not recognise some internet logins, could not complete auto-submission in others, and did not allow the manual adjustments that make KeePass so versatile. Unfortunately PM help is very limited. There is no current user manual (old manuals up to v1.4 available on the web do not match the properties of the current v3 of the software). KeePass (or the KeeForm plugin) also struggles with some sites, but it works much better overall. Help on KeeForm plugin syntax is limited, but otherwise KeePass help is great.
    So we really want the fingerprint reader (via PM) to work for KeePass master password entry.
    This is not so simple for five interacting reasons:
    (i)  It is tricky to register KeePass in PM;
    (ii) PM then gets confused by ‘hidden' entry of a master password during fingerprint login to KeePass, and repeatedly tries to save ****** as a changed master password;
    (iii) PM also tries to automatically register each entry opened for editing within KeePass;
    (iv) PM tries to automatically register other logins even if they are managed through KeePass.
    (v) Your KeePass records are now only as secure as your PM login (which is likely to be your Windows login).
    The solutions: or workarounds at least
    The best workarounds I could develop for these five issues were:
    (i) To register KeePass in PM, first ensure that PM is running (icon in the system tray). Then launch KeePass, click the login window box for unobscured password display (three blue dots turn black), enter the master password and click OK to start KeePass as usual.
    If PM does not offer to save an entry for KeePass by this stage, try ‘plan B'. Open a window to edit an entry in KeePass, then click Cancel. PM seems to recognise this more readily as a login window and may offer to create an entry. Accept the offer, and name the entry KeePass. Then open PM to edit the saved entry. You will have to edit several fields to achieve an effective PM entry for KeePass:
    The title field must be "Open database - database.kdb", to match the title of the KeePass login window.
    The file name field should show the full path to KeePass.exe (something like C:\Program Files\KeePass\PeePass.exe depending on your installation).
    The login and password data field is accessed by double clicking the entry. It will need to show only your KeePass master password (in the unobscured text view). In login and password data, delete each line of unwanted text until you get to the final password line (shown as *****), and edit this line to provide your master password.
    In the Advanced tab, select auto-fill and auto-submit and the desired security level [see (v) below]. Then select OK to get to the PM front window, and File - Save Changes, then Exit.
    Now when you close and re-launch KeePass, PM should automatically intervene (requesting a fingerprint to complete the KeePass login if you selected that security level. Select ‘No' when PM asks to change the password [see (ii) below].
    If you had no luck, try ‘plan C'. Close KeePass completely, then launch it again to open the login window. Then right-click the PM icon in the system tray, open the ‘Type and Transfer Tool', click the box for unobscured password display, type in the KeePass master password, drag the cross-hairs to the password field in the waiting KeePass login window, and release the password there. Click OK to start KeePass as usual, then click OK to close the PM transfer window. If there is still no KeePass entry in PM, check that KeePass has not been included in the PM excluded programs list. If this sequence does not work, reboot and check again. Failing all else, any entry that PM succeeds in making from any login page can be edited to an effective KeePass entry by editing fields as described above for ‘plan B'.
    PM (v3.00) can be coy to associate initially, but it will accept KeePass (v1.14) as a password-managed program, and thereafter it reliably succeeds to auto-submit the KeePass login after some help described in (ii) below.
    (ii) Having sent the correct master password to the KeePass login window, PM becomes confused by the ‘hidden' text now in the password field, and offers to change its record of your KeyPass master password to ******. You can manually select ‘No' in the PM changed-password dialogue box that appears every time you use PM / fingerprint for KeePass login. But Beware: if you ever accidentally select ‘Yes' (the default) your KeePass master password record in PM will be changed to ******. This can be edited to provide the correct password again, but it is more than a minor pain in the AR5E. Unless you know (or have a backup of) your KeePass master password you just lost access to your KeePass database!
    To avoid this big nuisance and risk, you can set up to restart KeePass for each use from a desktop shortcut (instead of minimising it to the system tray) and have the shortcut run a batch file with vbs scripts that send the ‘No' message to PM automatically.
    Here is an example batch file, with corresponding vbs scripts. You can make all these files using Notepad and save the files with the names indicated, into the KeePass program directory (C:\Program Files\KeePass in this example).
    KeePass.bat (This launches KeePass and tells PM v3 not to change the password. Caution: If Lenovo changed PM program design in future, the effect could change; the batch file might send {TAB}{ENTER} keystrokes to another open window on your computer):
    C:
    cd\
    cd "C:\Program Files\KeePass"
    start " " "C:\Program Files\KeePass\KeePass.exe" "C:\Program Files\KeePass\Database.kdb"
    start /w Sleep.vbs 1
    start /w AppActivate.vbs
    start /w SendKeys.vbs
    Sleep.vbs (provides a short delay to open the ThinkVantage dialogue window, otherwise the following scripts fail because they are sent too soon):
    Wscript.Sleep Wscript.Arguments(0) * 1000
    AppActivate.vbs (puts focus on the ThinkVantage  Password change dialogue window so that Tab and Enter commands are not sent elsewhere with undesired effects):
    CreateObject("WScript.Shell").AppActivate "ThinkVantage Password Manager"
    SendKeys.vbs (sends a ‘No' response to the PM request to change its KeePass entry):
    CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SendKeys "{TAB}{ENTER}"
    Please substitute ) where you see smileywink: in the vbs scripts above - I can't get this forum window to stop automatically translating the " ) sequence of text (without a space) as an emoticon.
    This batch file approach should work with additional startup switches for KeePass, for example the /backup.path: switch used by ‘another backup' plugin (or you can use the db_backup plugin that works from the KeePass.ini file). Quotes are needed around any entry with spaces. But some things that ‘should work' such as just writing "KeePass.exe" instead of the full path in line 4 of the batch file do not give the same outcome for me. This may be an effect on timing of the switch of focus between windows - so if you strike a problem it may be worth experimenting with the delay time set through the sleep script.
    If you set KeePass to lock when minimised, you will have to deal manually with the PM changed-password dialogue every time you re-access KeePass. So it is simpler to close rather than minimise KeePass after each use and restart it when needed, via the batch file.
    (iii) You have to tell PM ‘No' whenever it offers to save an entry that is edited in KeePass. This is less of a nuisance, because entries rarely need to be edited once set up in Keepass.  There is no way to turn off this requirement. If you select ‘Never' it will prevent use of PM and therefore fingerprint entry to start KeePass (not just the edit window).
    (iv) Turn off internet login within PM. This will leave all internet logins to KeePass. Unfortunately you can not set PM to only allow a single program login (KeePass), but you can set it to exclude specific programs, so do that for other programs that you access via KeePass.
    (v) Finally, set PM security within CSS so that a fingerprint (or a password if the fingerprint reader fails) is needed every time PM is launched (not just once per boot). Similarly, set KeePass security this way within PM. Otherwise (if you set the requirement to once per boot) your passwords are open to inspection while you are away from your booted computer.
    Caution: How secure is your Windows login password? Most likely this is also your PM login password, so it now allows access to your KeePass database! Make sure that it is a unique, secure and preferably memorable password.
    How close are we now to the desired combination of security and convenience?
    Click on the KeePass shortcut to the batch file given above, swipe the fingerprint, wait while CSS works, then click on the relevant Keepass entry to access any password-protected site or application in your Keypass list - great convenience.
    Security is very strong - both KeePass and PM are extremely secure unless you use a weak or insecure master password or select less secure settings.
    Starting (or opening a locked instance of) KeePass without the batch file given above requires a couple of extra carefully-placed clicks in the process to tell PM not to mess up its entry for KeePass, then to complete KeePass startup. This is less convenient, and a mistake could prevent future database access - so the batch file method is recommended.
    A final caution (while enjoying secure & convenient logins):
    Beware - fingerprint access is so convenient that you may forget your master passwords! Eventually they will be needed! You may click the wrong button in PM, suffer a faulty fingerprint reader or change computers! Then you must recall your master passwords before you can access your password file (and possibly your computer). This could be devastating: loss of all secure password information in KeePass and PM (and possibly loss of all information on a protected computer drive, not to mention need to pay for a computer motherboard and HDD replacement). So:
    1. Choose very secure but ‘unforgettable' master passwords for KeePass and computer (PM) access.
    2. Always set up a secure master password as an alternative to biometric authentication (in case of a faulty fingerprint reader).
    3. Keep your password database backups, and your separate master password backups, in another secure (preferably encrypted) but accessible location!
    Program versions tested:
    KeePass v1.14 (v2 betas not tested) with KeeForm v2 and DB_Backup v1.14
    Lenovo CSS v8.20 with PM v3.00
    The solutions were tested in November 2008 on a Thinkpad X61 running Windows Vista Business. The tricks to interface with KeePass can vary between fingerprint programs (search the KeePass forum).

    I'm reviving quite an old topic here, but I have been unable to find any other good information on this.  I currently use the latest version of Keepass v2.23 and have Lenovo Passoword Manager v4.3 installed on my new W530 laptop.  I can't get PM to recognize any passowords at all, in web browsers or in windows application.  
    In PM the only thing I can do is create folders and secure notes.  My fingerprint software works great for automated logins to windows.  Does anyone have any experience with using the fingerprint reader with a windows application like Keepass?  
    How can I get the Password manager to do ... anything?  Recognize a password in windows or a web browser?
    I'm open to any other software to be used or I can write scripts if necessary to accomplish this.  It doesn't seem like this should be so difficult, but from what I've learned about Lenovo so far, is that nothing is easy.  After trying to get battery charge thresholds working proplery in Windows 8, I've already lost faith in a company that I thought had a great reputation.

  • Need help with color management

    I am looking for someone to help me.  Please!
    I am looking for help with Photoshop/printer not printing correct colors.
    I have: Windows 7, Photoshop CS5, Photoshop Elements, HP Pavillion Laptop, new Okidata C530dn color laser printer
    Previously I had a Canon Pixma MP620 and a gentleman from another forum gave me the correct settings for printing on photo paper and colors were perfect.  I now have a OKIdata C530dn color laser and have started a business printing business cards and greeting cards, etc., and I do advertisements on a freelance basis.
    I will be working a lot with cardstock or cover stock 65-110 lbs paper.  I have an old OKIdata 2024e at work, and the colors are much better with that printer than my new personal one.  I have tried matching the settings of that printer to mine to no avail.  I have finally gotten the color close, but not quite.  When I print on my Canon injet the colors match and print perfectly.
    I have tried every setting variation that I can think of to get the color correct with my new OKIdata.  I have to get the colors correct or my new business will go under because I can't match colors for my customers.  I am a self taught Photoshoper and a novice so please bear with me.
    Using Okidata PCL.  Also have PS

    I have gotten the color close, but colors are dull. I have tried an adjustment layer and setting the saturation higher, but that doesn't help.  I know my laptop is showing the right colors, (calibrated) because I am still printing to the Canon with cardstock and the colors are perfect using the same settings above.
    Tried printing in PSE and it gave me an error that it was not a post script printer.  Installed ps driver, still getting errors and it wouldn't print.
    I would appreciate any help you could give me before I run out of toner and have to buy the expensive toners, or just slit my wrists j/k  LOL
    Thanks!  JS

    You need an ICC profile for your printer.  Chromix has an excellent service at http://www2.chromix.com/colorvalet/ which will do this calibration for you.  You download some software they provide, then print a test file on the exact same paper you are using for your cards.  Then send the output to them and they will calibrate the colors with their equipment and send you the ICC profile file.  Once you have it, you'll be able to print accurate colors.
    There are other services out there that may cost less, but I do not know how reputable they are.  Chromix is a good business I've worked with many times.
    If you are trying to run a business and you don't understand color management yet, you may be in for a lot of trouble.  Please get the book "Real World Color Management" available at http://www.colorremedies.com/realworldcolor/ and it will save you a ton of money and headaches.

  • SL 500 problem with Password Manager

    Hallo,
    I changed my password for windows account and now, when the windows turn on clinet for password man. ask me to put new password for my windows account. I put the new password, but the client manager says, that it is  wrong password.
    I allready uninstal and instal the manager for my computer, but I still have the same problem.
    What should I do, do fix this and use the client pass. man. normally?
    Thanks for your help
    Lenovo SL500 Intel Core 2 2.00GHz 1x2GB RAM 160GB
    NVIDIA GeForce 9300M 256MB

    Hi,
    try to write down your password into notepad and then copy-paste it to the Password amanger window.
    It might be posssible, that you are using multiple Keyboard langages, as when Password manager is used, then it might switch the keyboard layout.
    Let me know, if this works.
    Cheers

  • Serious issue with password manager - mouse selection in MS word 2007

    A little while ago, after installing some thinkvantage updates, I started to loose selection with the mouse in microsoft word 2007 after few minutes of usage (and derivatives such as outlook). I have a T61 with Windows 7 64 bit ultimate.
    I did many internet searches and surprisingly many other users who had this issue were Lenovo users so I'm not even sure if this issue is windows 7 specific.
    Disabling totally the password manager solved the problem - so there might be a serious issue there...

  • Recent Fingerprint Reader update conflicts with Password Manager

    Hi,
    After udating my Fingerprint Reader software to the most recent 64-bit 5.9.6.7084 version, my Password Manager (ver 3.20.0333.00) can no longer find the device. Am I the only one having this problem?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You are using the older Password Manager that's bundled with Client Security Solution.  And you need to update it to use the latest fingerprint software.
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_VN/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-73696
    If you don't need the complexity of Client Security Solution, then another option is to start using the new stand-alone Password Manager 4.0

  • [Solved]Need help with backup-manager

    So I'm trying to set up backup-manager to make.. well, backups. Their wiki has been shut down thanks to spammers, and ours has no specific entry for backup-manager, so I will have to do it with its man page and the (well documented) config file. However, I still have some questions. Sorry in advance for the amount of questions and the length of the topic. I just wanted to get this clear in one go.
    First: I want to make a *full* system backup, so that I can restore my system in case of breakage without reinstalling. When I looked at creating backups in the past, I noticed some folders don't necessarily had to be backupped. What folders in / could I skip?
    Second: I chose the tarball backup format. Would it then be safe to comment out all the other variables (for tarbal-incremental/mySQL) backups?
    Third: Now there were some parts of the config file that I didn't understand. I hope you can explain some of those parts to me.
    # Number of days we have to keep an archive (Time To Live)
    export BM_ARCHIVE_TTL="5"
    That means the archive it creates will be removed after 5 days - but what if I copy it to my external hard disk? I don't think it will delete it then, so would it be safe to comment this out - or what will it do if I just keep it this way?
    # At which frequency will you build your archives?
    # You can choose either "daily" or "hourly".
    # This should match your CRON configuration.
    export BM_ARCHIVE_FREQUENCY="daily"
    I either want to make a backup when I want to, or weekly - not hourly or daily. Is this possible with backup-manager?
    # Do you want to purge only the top-level directory or all
    # directories under BM_REPOSITORY_ROOT?
    export BM_REPOSITORY_RECURSIVEPURGE="false"
    I don't understand that option. Could you explain me what it will do? Info: BM_REPOSITORY_ROOT is set to my home folder. It's the place where the archives are stored.
    # Do you want to replace duplicates by symlinks?
    # (archive-DAY is a duplicate of archive-(DAY - 1) if they
    # are both the same according to MD5 hashes).
    export BM_ARCHIVE_PURGEDUPS="true"
    Will this harm anything in my system?
    # Do you want to dereference the files pointed by symlinks ?
    # enter true or false (true can lead to huge archives, be careful).
    export BM_TARBALL_DUMPSYMLINKS="false"
    This would 'destroy' all symlinks, no? I'm going to keep this at false, but I would like to know.

    Restored it with this:
    #!/bin/sh
    # To untar, use:
    # tar -xvpzf /path/to/backup/<date>-backup.tar.gz -C </path/to/root>
    tar -xvpzf /home/chuck/Backups/now.tar.gz -C /

    /mnt/bind/Pictures \
    /mnt/bind/Maintenance \
    /mnt/bind/Music \
    /mnt/bind/Backups
    exit 0
    Of course the directories already existed so that part was unnecessary & only needed if I had restored onto a fresh installation.

  • Help with file management

    Well I am just starting my first project using FCP and can see that it is going to be a learning curve after coming over from PPro.
    One thing that I have been unable to find is just how to keep track of which clips have been used in the timeline, and how many times. In Premiere Pro I had the option to show video and audio usage for each clip in the browser.
    Have not found how to do this yet in FCP.
    Hope someone can help with this....
    Thanks
    Kirk

    Guess that I just have to get used to how it is done in FCP. I have over 1,500 clips in about 30 folders and it would sure make it easy if I could just glance at a clip in the browser and see if it has been used.
    Thanks for the tip on the duplicate frames though. That is going to help to identify duplicate clips once they are placed in the timeline.
    Sure seems like a lot of time spent identifying if a clip is already used though. As I look through the clips in the browser I guess there is no way to tell if they have been used other than put them in the timeline or use the search function.
    Still learning here.
    Thanks
    Kirk

  • Help with password for router

    Hi, anyone can help me with my password for the WRT54G router. I am trying to reconfigure it, but is asking me for a password. I reset the back bottom, and I entered "admin", but still does not work. It does not go on with the set up.
    Thanks, Maribel

    Welcome to the Cisco Home Community.
    Type 192.168.1.1 on your browsers address bar.
    When prompted for a password, leave username blank and type admin in the password field.
    Enter your configurations.
    Do post back for any updates.

    I was wondering if someone could help me to incorporate some kind of one way hash into the encryptPassword method in Validate user...i am having problems trying to call on the PasswordService and incorporating everything. The reason i supplied all the code was so that the reader could understand how different programs correlate with one another
