How to login as a user with EMPTY password in terminal?

hi there
i have created a standard user account without a password.
logging in works fine via GUI (login window). but i cannot login via the login-command in terminal (shell).
how can i do this?
thanks, olli

Interesting. I found a way. First log in as an administrator. Then become root by entering sudo -s. Then, instead of using login, use su username to log in to your passwordless account.
Perhaps somebody knows of a less cumbersome way and will post it.

OS 10.10 how to hide/show a folder with a password using terminal

In Yosemite 10.10.2 Terminal Can you please tell me how to hide/show with a password then show again on already existing folder created on a system drive and also an external drive. Please provide the path text to folder name "wbfiles". Thank you Winwoodb

You can drag it from one place on a drive to another. If you are moving it from one drive to another then it copies it. If you are moving it on the same drive and are getting that message then not being able to move the folder is the least of your problems. Free up space immediately because your computer is about to crash and probably lose files. Then you'll have lots of space.

How does one create a user with a null password in iManager?

I'm setting up LDAP authentication and need to create a user with a null password.
If you do not put a password in the password field when creating the user in iManager, a message pops up stating, No password has been defined for this user.
You are given a choice of:
Allow user to log in without a password
- or -
Do not allow user to log in without a password
If you choose Do not allow user to log in without a password, there are no complaints.
When I look at the properties of the newly-created user, however, I note that the "Require a password" checkbox is not filled in.
That would imply that the answer to the question posed during the user's creation is moot; either answer produces a user that can log in without a password.
I can then assign the Common Proxy password policy to the user, which does not dictate a minimum length for a password.
From that point forward, any attempts to leave the password field blank in iManager results in another pop-up message stating:
"Failure to enter a password will allow the user to login without a password."
That implies that no password exists for the user, as opposed to a null password.
Is that correct or are the public and private key for the user object still generated?

If you do not specify a password, which is what happens when you select
the 'Do not allow user to log in without a password' option initially, the
user cannot login. A user with no password (meaning no password exists at
all, similar to a 'null' in programming) cannot login with a password
because, of course, they do not have a password.
If you specify a zero-length string as the password you are effectively
(and usually) creating a proxy user, for example to be used for the LDAP
service in eDirectory, and this user can login typing in a password (since
typing would imply one or more characters) but nevertheless there IS a
password, but it happens that it is zero-length, so typing nothing for the
password IS submitting the correct password. This is the option carried
out by eDirectory when you choose, 'Allow user to log in without a
password' (the prompt is a little misleading with its "without a password"
phrase).
Once you assign a UP policy you are telling the system that there SHOULD
be a password on the user (and with common proxy there definitely should
be, probably a strong one at that) so the only option now is whether or
not the password is zero-length or longer. Obviously longer is the
correct option for security reasons.
Good luck.

How to migrate Apex users with existing passwords.

Hi Guys,
Our apex env finally getting a upgrade from 3.1.1 to 4.1.1 (I know, it's been overdue for years)
Some of our apps use 'Application Express' authentication, and have few hundreds users in Apex (and users belong to diff user groups).
The issue is, the 4.1.1 env is set up on a brand new server and DB, we want to migrate these users with their existing passwords from the 3.1.1 env.
I tried exporting the workspace, and the users are exported as below,
 begin
 wwv_flow_fnd_user_api.create_fnd_user (
 p_user_id => '10592934818556549584',
 p_user_name => 'TEST',
 p_first_name => 'a',
 p_last_name => 'b',
 p_description => '',
 p_email_address=> '[email protected]',
 p_web_password => 'E92903DEAD135E6E86BD6B64544D2BD9',
 p_web_password_format => 'HEX_ENCODED_DIGEST_V2',
 p_group_ids => '10592435401495787816:',
 p_developer_privs=> '',
 p_default_schema=> 'TEST',
 p_account_locked=> 'N',
 p_account_expiry=> to_date('201212040000','YYYYMMDDHH24MI'),
 p_failed_access_attempts=> 0,
 p_change_password_on_first_use=> 'Y',
 p_first_password_use_occurred=> 'N',
 p_allow_access_to_schemas => '');
 end;
when I run this in 4.1.1 I had to modify it to the new format as below,
also changed the p_group_ids to new user group but kept the password the same
 begin
 wwv_flow_fnd_user_api.create_fnd_user (
 p_user_id => '',
 p_user_name => 'TEST',
 p_first_name => 'a',
 p_last_name => 'b',
 p_description => '',
 p_email_address=> '[email protected]',
 p_web_password => 'E92903DEAD135E6E86BD6B64544D2BD9',
 p_web_password_format => 'HEX_ENCODED_DIGEST_V2',
 p_group_ids => '1399416797653068:',
 p_developer_privs=> '',
 p_default_schema=> 'TEST',
 p_account_locked=> 'N',
 p_account_expiry=> to_date('201209041006','YYYYMMDDHH24MI'),
 p_failed_access_attempts=> 0,
 p_change_password_on_first_use=> 'Y',
 p_first_password_use_occurred=> 'N',
p_allow_app_building_yn=> 'N',
p_allow_sql_workshop_yn=> 'N',
p_allow_websheet_dev_yn=> 'N',
p_allow_team_development_yn=> 'N',
p_allow_access_to_schemas => '');
 end;
the result was that the user is created fine, but the password is not valid.
Anyone knows how to export apex users with existing password to a new server?
Thanks.

Hi,
Not sure why you say
when I run this in 4.1.1 I had to modify it to the new format as below, If you just run the workspace export sql it should create the Workspace, Groups and Users
The signature of the procedure is below. See the highlighted lines.
procedure create_fnd_user (-- Description:
-- This procedure allows for programatic and bulk creation of users.
-- Example:
-- From sqlplus logged in as the privileged flows user, first
-- ensure that the security group id is set properly, then create
-- your users.
 -- begin wwv_flow_security.g_security_group_id := 20; end;
-- begin
-- for i in 1..10 loop
-- wwv_flow_fnd_user_api.create_fnd_user(
-- p_user_name => 'USER_'||i,
-- p_email_address => 'user_'||i||'@mycompany.com',
-- p_web_password => 'user_'||i) ;
-- end loop;
-- commit;
-- end;
-- Arguments:
-- p_user_id numeric primary key of user
-- p_user_name the username the user uses to login
-- p_first_name informational only
-- p_last_name informational only
 -- p_web_password the unencrypted password for the new user
-- p_group_ids A colon delimited list of group IDs from the table wwv_flow_fnd_user_groups
-- p_developer_privs A colon delmited list of developer privs, privs include:
-- ADMIN:BROWSE:CREATE:DATA_LOADER:DB_MONITOR:EDIT:HELP:MONITOR:SQL:USER_MANAGER
-- p_default_schema A valid oracle schema that is the default schema for use in browsing and
-- creating flows
-- p_allow_access_to_schemas A colon delimited list of oracle schemas that the user is allowed to
-- parse as. If null the user can parse as any schema available to the company.
-- This does not provide privilege it only resticts privilege, so listing a schema
-- does not provide the privilege to parse as a schema, it only restricts that user
-- to that list of schemas.
-- p_attributes_XX These attributes allow you to store arbitary information about a given user.
-- They are for use by flow developers who want to extend user information.
 -- p_web_password_format Identifies the format of the web password.
-- The range of values is CLEAR_TEXT, HEX_ENCODED_DIGEST, DIGEST 
-- p_person_type "E" marks the user as external
-->
Note there is no HEX_ENCODED_DIGEST, DIGEST_V2 listed. It may work, but not obvious from the signature.
Cheers,

How can I make the popup with empty fileds and create new record?

I would like to use a popup to create new record.
I created a af:popup by drag and drop a VO from data control to jsff. then, I created a button and place a af:showPopupBehavior. I was able to popup window by click the button.
however, the window filled with the information from the 1st record. and when I select a record in table and click popup, the popup is filled with that record.
How can I make the popup with empty fileds and create new record by saving the popup?
Thanks

You can have edit and new buttons, in the PopupFetchEvent identify button source (using popupFetchEvent.getLaunchSourceClientId()) if new button clicked clear the binding using below code.
If you want to see empty fields, in the popup PopupFetchEvent clear the input component bindings.
resetBindingValue("#{bindings.<componentid>.inputValue}", null);
 public static void resetBindingValue(String expression, Object newValue) {
 FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 Application app = ctx.getApplication();
 ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
 ELContext elContext = ctx.getELContext();
 ValueExpression valueExp = elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext,expression,Object.class);
 Class bindClass = valueExp.getType(elContext);
 valueExp.setValue(elContext,newValue);
 }

Need MBAM 2.5 Helpdesk and selfservice sites to open for authenticated users with no password prompt

I Need MBAM 2.5 Helpdesk and self service sites to open for authenticated users with no password prompt. I just cant seem to get this to work. The account used in the application pool has its SPN registered and delegation set. I can use that account to login
to the sites but am prompted for a password. That said anyone I add into the helpdesk users group cannot negotiate the sites. Only the account I have set in the application pool can. I want domain authenticated users that have been added to the MBAM Help Desk
Users group to negotiate the site with NO password challenge at all.
tconners

This generally means that your SPN is not set up correctly. Let's say the web server you installed the SSP on is lance.contoso.com and your app pool creds are corp\lance. You should set an SPN similar to setspn -s http/lance.contoso.com
corp\lance. In your browser, you should now be able to access the SSP without prompts. However, if you still get prompted, generally that means that your local intranet zone in IE does not have an entry for *.contoso.com. Since you are entering
an FQDN in your browser, IE interprets the "." to mean "on the internet" which breaks Kerberos authentication. By adding *.contoso.com to your local intranet zone, you are telling it that lance.contoso.com is on the intranet, so use
Kerberos.
I can confirm, that I have exact configuration and I always get the password promt for the very first time. We have 2 server (1xIIS and 1xSQL) infrastructure in production with SPN set like it should and I get the password prompt.

Creating 50 users with SAME password

All
I need to create 50 Trainning users with SAME password.
Does SAP allows to do it ? SU10 does not let me know
enter the password ?
Is there any report that I can use ?
How can use SCAT trasaction to do this ?
Please advise.
Thanks
From
PT.

Hi Pranav,
Yes SAP allow you but for security reason its not recomended.
But you can't give the password same like the username, SAP will not allow your to give password that contain userid.
You can use SCAT to create the 50 user.
First you recard the transcation first
Than change the value with parameter (type &parameter_name)
and than you can create a excel file that contain the 50 user.
and use SCAT to run it.

By default, Disk Utility has the "Add to Keychain" setting checked on.
You have to make a new image and turn this funtion off if you want to make sure the video stays private on your computer.
If you send the video to another computer, the user will have to enter the password.

How do I get the user name and password for the Apple Extreme Router to connect to a Slingbox

How do I get the user name and password for the Apple Extreme Router to set up my Slingbox? It will not accept the Apple Extreme Name and password.

The AirPort Extreme does not have a User Name, but it does have a device name and device password, which you may have already tried.
There is also a Wireless Network Name and Wireless Network Password for the AirPort Extreme, which might be what the Slingbox is looking for if you are trying to connect it to your wireless network.
There are no other "user names" or "passwords" on the AirPort Extreme.
You established the device name, device password, wireless network name and wireless network password when you originally configured the AirPort Extreme.
If you cannot remember these, you will need to perform a Soft Rest to reset everything. Follow the instructions in this Apple support document:
