How do you make connection password use single username and password in P/S

Hi
I have installed OBIEE as a standalone on a Windows 2003 server using OC4J and AUTHENTICATION_TYPE = BYPASS_NQS.
I have created a repository using an ODBC connection to a Netezza database. The implementation we have is that we use a single username and password (readonly) to the database.
I have created the physical, business and presentation layers and the repository is consistent and loadas up into the Presentation Server.
When I login into presentation server as say "Administrator", the PS passes the username/password of "Administrator" instead of the username and password setup in the connection pool.
The error is;
-------------------- Query Status: Query Failed: [nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: HY000 code: 108 message: Password authentication failed for user 'ADMINISTRATOR'.
When I create a user with the same username and password as the one used in the connection pool, the requests work. Although thisd lets me work at the moment, it is not a viable solution going forward.
Please can you advise what I need to setup for this to work correctly for me ie., make PS substitute the correct username password when connecting to the ODBC defined in the connection pool?
Thanks in advance.
Danish.

Apologies if I've misunderstood, but are you trying to implement anything than standard practise, namely:
1) Using the OBIEE security model to authenticate and log in (i.e. when you log in to Answers you are entering a username as defined in the RPD)
2) Using a fixed username & password as defined on the database to authenticate & authorise when you read data for your reports?
If you use BYPASS_NQS then BI Server will take your login details when you login to Answers (Presentation Server) and pass them through to the database and see if they're valid. This is what's happening when you got the error that you initially posted. With setting at BYPASS_NQS try logging into Answers with the database username&password, I bet it will work.
If you use NQS (the default) then it checks the Answers login against users defined in the RPD, so the reason you couldn't login when you changed it to NQS is that the user/pw you logged in with didn't match what's defined in the RPD.
Try this:
1. Create a new user & pw in the RPD, for argument's sake call it TestRPDUser with the same pw
2. Set authentication to NQS and restart you BI Server
3. Log in to Answers as TestRPDUser - does it work?

How do you make a spreadsheet or cells secure and private?

In using numbers, I want to make a spreadsheet secure (limited access). How do you do this ..... Or how do you make the cells within it secure?

Password protect the file (although there's some doubt as to the strength of that protection).
save the file to an encrypted Disk Image. See Mac Help in the Finder's Help menu for details.
There's no way to fully protect the cells of an open document. Numbers provides for locking "objects," but cells themselves are not objects. Tables are, objects, so you can lock a complete table. That prevents changes to the table until it is unlocked, but does not prevent changes to other tables in the document, nor does it prevent any used from unlocking the table then editing it.
Jerry has offered a technique which may be used to guard against inadvertent changes to individual cells. You can read it in his responses in Hold Table Position in a Sheet.

Using a username and password to access the network

Dear gents,
i am trying to make the access to the network via 2 things : SSID's key first , then using a username and password to connect, or at least username and password.
i have aironet 1130ag , and 40 users.
Any suggestions..

SSIDs are unique identifiers that identify a WLAN network. Wireless devices use SSIDs to establish and maintain wireless connectivity. SSIDs are case-sensitive and can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Do not use any spaces or special characters in an SSID.
A client can gain access to the network only if the client password matches the AP password.

How do you make PP CS5 use more allocated physical memory???

As you know, you can go to Preferences > Memory and change the amount of RAM reserved for other applications.
Now, I have 8 GB of RAM installed (Windows 7), and I have set my “RAM reserved for other applications” option to 1.5 GB. That leaves 6.5 GB of memory for Adobe AE, Pr, Encore and Media Encoder.
Here’s the problem: every time when I’m rendering or exporting in Premiere, I can see through Task Manager that Premiere uses only 1.5 or 2.0 GB of the physical memory, not the 6.5 GB that I’ve allocated. I know the rest is reserved for other applications, but none of them are running at the moment. So, how can I make PP CS5 use more of all the physical memory that’s left?

Memory management in CS5 is clever enough to use an amount of memory that minimizes the use of the page file and maximizes buffers, However that depends on the material in the project, the effects and transitions used, the export format and the hardware in use.
There is no sense in using large amounts of memory, when other components cause waiting before the contents of memory can be offloaded. Just as it makes no sense to use a Ferrari in traffic jams.

How do I make firefox remember my yahoo id and password?

Every other site can remember my login details so I don't have to type them every time. But for some reason, Yahoo does not let Firefox remember my login details. So I have to cut and paste from a Notepad file, since I am sick and tired of typing them every single time. Does anyone know how to fix this, so that my user-id and password can be remembered and autofill in Firefox like they used to?

I can log in to'' my.yahoo.com'' without going through the pains you are describing. I have login data stored under https://login.yahoo.com. From my own experience I know, this is just one of the many doors into Yahoo. Check your login data in FX to see if there's any entries for yahoo already there:
[[Where are my logins stored?]]

How do you make it print first page first and not the last page first?

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600. How do I make the first page print first and not the last page printing first?

Hi,
From the application used to print open the print dialog and click Oroperties or Preferences to access the Printing Preferences screen.
From the Layout tab set Page Order as Back to Front, then the first page will be printed first.

How do I get Firefox to remember two usernames and passwords for att.yahoo?

Firefox remembers one username and password, does not auto-fill-in the information (which is good), but will not ask to remember the second username and password. How do I get Firefox to remember the second username and password?
I have two e-mail accounts which use the same login page, one account is sbcglobal and the other is yahoo. I would like Firefox to remember both sets of information so I don't have to type all the username and password information for one account.

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

[Deployment] How NOT to hard code the Database SID, Username, and Password

Hi, I'm new in J2EE so be easy on me. :)
How can I parameterize the database SID, username, and password in my J2EE application? So that anyone can change the SID, username, and password without the need to modify my code? I use Oracle 10g, ADF BC, JSF and JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.
My friend said that I can use XML for this. But he didn't go to detail for doing this. Is it true? Is there any [or better alternative]?
Any help or pointer to a simple tutorial would be fine.
Thanks in advance.

Hi -- this is quite easy to do with J2EE.
In your application code, you declare "logical" references to resources (such as datasources, security roles, etc.) and use those in your application code so all it depends on is the logical name
On the server where the application is deployed, "physical" resources are created that point to the actual resource -- in the case of a database, this would be the JDBC URL, username, password.
At deployment time of the application, you then use the facilities of deployment tool to "map" the logical references in the application, to the physical references that exist on the server. So you connect the dots between your application needing something and the server providing the something. That way all the "details" are abstracted out of the your application code.
I don't know how this works in ADF, BC4J, etc. but I presume that since they are based on standard/J2EE, it must be available somehow.
I wrote something about this a while back using direct JDBC as an example:

How easy to sniff a public FTP/HTTP username and password?

Hi IT Colleagues,
I understand that using plain FTP/HTTP , it is possible to sniff username and password using sniffer like wireshark.
However, I just to want know how easy to do it.
I know that in order to sniff , you should be in the same network or subnet as the website or ftp site.
Regards,
Jhun

It is trivially easy to sniff credentials out of FTP and HTTP due to the fact there is no encryption at play. One should also not simply consider the risks of someone running a sniffer on your local area network, or on the local area network of the remote
server, website or ftp site, but should consider the possibility for traffic to be sniffed along the way. The NSA is doing a rather good job of sniffing all of our traffic, credentials and all! Don't just worry about someone like the NSA though, a malicious
user on an ISP network, or an administrator of a proxy server could just as easily sniff the plain text traffic.

Which are the accepted characters used in username and password?

Hello,
I would like to build a program using regex in order to accept the desirable characters username and password must have.
In my pogram i have the followings:
Username: 4 - 7 characters, I accept only letters,digits and _
Password: 6 - 8 characters, everything that is on keyboard such as @,#,$ , > , ) ? , ' , "
What shall i do?Are the previous right?
May you please tell me your opinion as far as accepted characters in username and password are concerned?
Thanks,in advance!

Every restriction you place on a password reduces the available entropy and therefore makes it easier to crack.However, certain resrictions--such as requiring at least one non-letter, not allowing dictionary words, not allowing it to contain the username, etc., while slightly reducing the average time for a brute force attack, can make other very quick attacks--like a dictionary attack--untenable. So there are some restrictions that are a good idea.I will concede this but it I am not keen on protecting a user from his own stupidity. Since this namby-pamby approach is the industry norm I have to go along with it but I hate it.In some cases you may be protecting your own assets from the user's stupidity, depending on what his account gives him access to.
