How to preserve recently changed passwords during a RPD promotion/overwrite

Hi All,
1. We are using BIEE built-in authentication (passwords are stored in RPD file);
2. Users are allowed to change their passwords at any time;
3. Other than PD, we also have a DEV and a QA environements where we fix bugs and do minor enhancements;
the questions is: How can we promote the new RPD file (from QA to PD environment) once it passes testing? If we simply overwrite the RPD file in PD environment, then recently changed passwords (the ones changed & stored in the new RPD file) will be lost. it seems we need to do a merge or something, but we wonder what the Oracle recommended solution is.
It'd be greatly appreciated if some expert can shine some light on this issue. Thanks!!

Yes, great questions.
I have always used the merge process which is the base of the Obiee software configuration and I never had problem of security.
As the multi-user environment is based on this process, you normally shouldn't have any problem.
Do a test before and good backup before migration.
Success

Below an extract of my notes :
By default, the Oracle BI repository development environment is not set up for multiple users. However, online editing makes it possible for multiple developers to work simultaneously, though this may not be an efficient methodology, and can result in conflicts, because developers can potentially overwrite each other's work.
To develop a repository in a concurrent version environment, you have two choices :
* first of all, you can send the repository to the developer, keep a copy, retrieve it after modification and perform an Merge Repository
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/bi_server/obiee_repository_merge
* second, you can set up a multiuser environment (MUD) which use the notion of Projects to split the work area. It would permit developers to modify a repository simultaneously and then check in changes.

The import option which permit to import a subset of a repository to an other repository, work but is deprecated.

Where exactly are you being asked for a password , and for what?

Obiee 11g How to let user change password

obiee 11g How to let user change password ？
i not mean use weblogic console。 normal user how to change password。

With 11g, OBIEE essentially uses the 10g notion of external authentication.
By default, this is done by the WLS (Weblogic) LDAP identity store, but it may be done by another supported Authenticator either within WLS, or in the OBIS meta data (i.e. Custom Authenticator or LDAP). As such, OBIEE no longer has any control over user passwords; this is why the steps referenced in note 1102353.1 do not apply to OBIEE 11g, but only to internal/repository-defined users in OBIEE 10g.
So, as with password maintenance in OBIEE 10g when an external authenticator is used, it is within that external authentication system that password is changed, not within OBIEE 11g. There is no option in OBIEE 11g to allow users to change passwords.
There are two work-arounds with which you can change your password:
1) From the Weblogic administration console/WLST.
You need to give such user access into Weblogic console or access to browse through involved MBean hierarchy and other modify permissions. Changing the password using WLST instance is covered here:
Ideally, the console and WLST approaches are used by Administration accounts to manage other users. But the console and WLST can be made to allow other users to change passwords (which will be more or less like carrying out an administrative task by users themselves)
2) Using a programmatic approach.
Here the application that intends to provide password change functionality to its users should implement this functionality on its own (GUI plus call to the relevant Weblogic API). Weblogic provides an MBean that the application can use to accomplish this. See here for more information.
An enhancement request exists for this functionality. This is unpublished bug 11836170 - enable non admin users to change passwords in obiee 11g.

How to enable users change password in obiee 11g?

Is there anyone know how to enable users change password in obiee 11g?
And I have tried the method in obiee 10g, bu it didn't work.
Any help would be appreciate.

As per I understand your requirement,
In your Dashboard create a Presentation variable which receives the value of year you select.
Now in your analysis, select the year column along with all the measures you want (Actual, plan, Forecast, and what-if, etc).
Create a filter on Year column and convert it into SQL. Put the condition as:
"Year" BETWEEN @{Presentaion_Variable} - 1 AND @{Presentation_Variable}
You will get the result for selected year and the previous year.
Hope it helps..

How to Enforce User Change Password First Time User in Release 2?

Hi...
We discovered in Oracle Directory Manager(in unix is oidadmin), there actualy
column to expiry date.(the default is 60).
We follow this notes in metalink..
Note:176470.1 Subject: How To Pre-Expire Portal Passwords
Even though the note is for Portal30(release1), we just wangt to try it in our Release 2...
Extract from the note
"3. Set the value of the column LAST_PASSWD_CHANGE_TIME in the table WWSEC_PERSON$ in SSO schema to a value older than the password expiration period (default is 90 days) before the current time (e.g. sysdate - 100) for the appropriate user(s)
4. For example, if you have created a user called TEST
you would issue a command such as:
update wwsec_person$
set LAST_PASSWD_CHANGE_TIME =sysdate-70
where USER_NAME='TEST';
commit; "
But, when we try to login again in the portal, we can still login...
So, is the function still exist in Release 2?..
If not, why Oracle Portal throw that function away?
Why there still columns in WWSEC_PERSON$ that maybe linked to the password problem?
can anybody help/explain?
Thanks....

Rather than rehash what has already been thoroughly discussed, check this thread. This should answer your question.

How do i disable "change password" in "security & privacy"

Hi... i think something might be wrong... I have a standard account (for a child) that is locked down by parental controls by an admin user. I've locked changing the password - "Disable changing the password"... The lock icon is locked for users and groups in the standard account - so that works.
However if i goto System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General/Change Password it allows for changing of the standard account password and does not require the admin password.
Really? Can anybody else confirm this? How do I lock this also?
thanks in advance.

This isn't an answer.
You aren't the only one seeing this behavior. If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.
You might want to submit feedback to Apple so they are aware of the problem:

How to trigger and change password for AD user after form based login

Hello,
We are authenticating against Active Directory with Weblogic 10.3 using FORM based security. Everything is working. I need to now change a password for an authenticated user. For example, I have set a user to have their password expire on next logon from the AD side. The user logs in but somehow I need to trap some info from Active Directory (or an LDAP conversation) to figure out if I need to force the user to change password.
Do I need to start looking at custom code with LDAP Java SDK's or can I use a canned MBean from Weblogic Server.
I am looking at http://www.mozilla.org/directory/ for LDAP.
Can I set/reset an AD user's password with an MBean like the following link?
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs92/javadocs/index.html?weblogic/management/security/authentication/UserPasswordEditorMBean.html
If anyone has any experience with this or can point me in the right direction let me know.
If anyone else is interested please add to the tread and I'll be sure to keep the found solution(s) updated here.
Thanks...........

Blackberry Maps on Storm (Verizon) - How can I recenter the map during GPS tracking?

Greets folks!
I'm hoping someone has an answer, or can point me to documentation.
I've recently moved to a new city and have found the Maps app to be very helpful. However there's one nagging question that's driving me crazy; how can I recenter the map on my GPS position after moving the map?
I'll be using GPS navigation, and either accidentally or deliberately scroll the map. The GPS navigation icon still shows navigation is still taking place, and if I scroll the map manually back to my position it still shows the location icon. However the map no longer moves with the location icon.
Any way to set the map to center on the location icon again? The only option I've found so far is to stop and restart GPS navigation which takes time, etc.
John E.

Hello Falconeer and welcome to the forums!
When using the Maps application you should be able to snap back to your location so long as you have "GPS Navigation" set to started and your position is currently being tracked. If you pan off the course and lose sight of your position you should be able to press the "Escape" key immediately to the left of the "End Call" button while viewing the map. Just make sure that you only press it once or you may find yourself looking at the directions list again.
hope this helps

How to preserve the form content during callbacks

hi this is ravi kiran,
i am working on a project which involves --when clicking on submit button the jsp page submits to itself.
for the first time the user clicks on the submit button some records from the data base must be retreived according to the criteria given and must be displayed accodingly.
for the second time when the user clicks on the submit button the previously displayed records are getting erased and the new records are displayed.
how can i save the results of first click and display along with the results on second click and so on.
how can the form content be preserved during call backs.
help me
thanx in advance

Maintain everything in a session-bean or just try calling Servlet/JSP using XmlHttpRequest Object this would not clear entire form only a part of request which you want.The logic here is instead of clearing the entire page it just clears a part of the view inthe layman terms.

How do i save changed passwords?

For security, I must change my saved passwords to certain accounts occasionally. Ff doesn't perceive the new password and ask if it would like to be saved. It keeps filling in the old one. I've deleted the web addresses and passwords in "preferences'' but this doesn't produce a new prompt

Hey evsworld,
Go to ''Tools >Options >Security'' tab click on ''Saved passwords''. This will give you a list of sites that you have saved a password for. Just find your site and delete that entry.
There is a lot of useful information in this article about the [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/make-firefox-remember-usernames-and-passwords?s=password+manager&r=1&as=s Firefox Password Manager]. It should answer any other questions you might have.
You can also remove the cookies from that site to make the site forget you if you've created a remember me cookie by going to ''Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies" ''
Hopefully this helps!

How to restore recent changes from back up when lightroom 5 did not shut down properly?

I'm working on a Mac, which did an auto-update that apparently force quit Lightroom 5, which hadn't been closed for a week and thereby had a lot of "unsaved" work in its temporary files. Now when I open the catalogue I'm back to where I was a week ago, with non of the new changes. However, my time machine back up has backed up .lrcat, preview.lrcat, .lrcat-journal and .lrcat-lock files from right before the shutdown which should--in theory--have the data I need in them. How do I restore this data? I've tried several different methods with no luck yet. Thanks!

If it backed up the lock file, then Lightroom was open when Time Machine ran, and the backup therefore may be corrupted. You could try restoring that backup (without overwriting your week ago version) and see if it'll open. If it does, you're off and running. What methods have you tried?

How force users to change passwords every 60 days

Hi,
We're running ebs 12 and would like to know which profile option to set at the site level to force the passwords for all users to expire every 60 days.
We don't want to expire the database user passwords, just the application user password in ebusiness.
Kind regards,
dula

Are you looking all users to reset their password at once ? If not, as and when you define users (I assume you don't define users in large volumes daily), you can set this to 60. Assuming you've set this policy today (to expire passwords every 60 days) and wish to update this in the database for all users, the update statement that you've specified is correct (with suitable WHERE clause). For all new users, you've got to define this when defining the users, though !
