How to retrieve password character according to user logged on ?

Hi,
Can anybody help on this issue .
How to retrieve password character according to user logged on ?
I have a program will runs on multiple logins.I like restrict so that only an admin can retrieve the password.
How to do it ?

> I have a report program which uploads sensitive information to presentation server.The program is also used by multiple users for other use.(billing info on excel sheet)
That is the bugger with generic (executable) functionality. When used for multiple requirements which are too far from each other then they break or the "lowest common denominator" calls the shots.
If this data is being uploaded from the application server, then why don't you just protect it there. The S_DATASET for that program context will not be very usefull, because it is generic.... so you can look into using S_PATH.
> Since a user might have already logged on to system i can only ask a password as a authorization to run the program.
Again, this means that anyone who knows the generic password (or can display / debug the code) will be able to access the data.
A better variant of the same would be to create a symbolic service user, and prompt for that user's password before the data is downloaded. You can then use standard functions for prompting for passwords, which also update the lock counter.
=> If the password is locked due to incorrect logins, then the program is locked for this functionality as well.
=> You can periodically lock / unlock / change the access to the program, by administrating the service user in SU01.
=> Do not give this service user any authority at all - you only want to prompt for knowledge of the password, but not actually log the user itself onto the system. (see report RDDPWCHK for some example coding)
In German this is called "von hinten durch die brust", which means something like "unusual approach but still works anyway".
> I like to restrict access of retrieving the password only to a basis team.(others user can run the program)
I would still protect the source data itself using unique authority to access it, and then control that.
Cheers,
Julius

select * from v$resource_limit;Lists about 20 different resources with current, maximum and limit on usage. Session count is one of them. I don't think there's any (simple, efficient) way to determine the maximum number of different users of sessions, though.

How to disable Password field in Oracle User administration

Hi ,
How can I personalize the password field on the user - define form not updatable ? I have tried forms personalization on this field but it didnt work. Can anyone have an idea whether this field can be personalized at all
Thank you in advance !

See if this works out for you. I tested and it is ok
Trigger Event - WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE
Trigger Object - USER.USER_PASSWORD
Processing Mode - Both
Action Type - Property
Object Type - Item
Target Object - USER.USER_PASSWORD
Property Name - ENABLED (APPLICATIONS COVER)
Value - FALSE
Save and close/open both forms. In Enter or Query modes, when ever user navigate to Password field, it is disabled and not editable.
Hope this works as you expected. Just play around :-)

How to trigger a custom code when user log in?

Hi my friends,
We are using multiple sharepoint sites at work. Users log in with AD accounts, so they dont see any login page.
I need to run a custom code when user login to website. Event receivers do not help at this point. Any suggestions?
thanks in advance

Hi Ahmet,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to trigger some custom code when users log in SharePoint.
As a solution, you could customize a login page for your SharePoint, then you could trigger your code.
You could also use httpmodule to monitor user login. Please refer to this article about how to use httpmodule:
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/100976/get-the-current-logged-in-user-in-sharepoint-added-httpmodule

Are you using the default providers? How are you creating users? Won't the
user be authenticated by the relevant container?

What is illegal about table USRPWDHISTORY. It's a regular table so to think that if you don't mention it on public forum then nobody will find it is a bit naive.
There are usually 3 reasons why you have to do some dirty trick: you want to do something wrong, there is a technical limitation in solution or there is something serious wrong with the solution. In my experience the first option is the most common and this case looks to me like the first option. It's not clear from your message what is the purpose of those users but as it was mentioned you can change their type or maybe you can use a different authentication method for them (certificates or SSO) to avoid password issues.

To changing password you have to use ALTER USER <USER NAME> IDENTIFIED BY <NEW PASS> but old session you can not invalidate but can kill hem using ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'SID,SERILA' there sid and serial you can find from v$SESSION.

How to retrieve password after it is encrypted

Hi:
I have developed an application with form based authentication. Right now the user name and password are kept in the "Apps-jazn-data.xml" file and it is encrypted. How can I get the encrypted password from the "Apps-jazn-data.xml" ?
Because I need to reset the password to something else through the enterprise manager of the application server, I need to know the previous password.
Thanks

This fragment from OC4J online documentation may help you:
Hand-editing jazn-data.xml
If you prefer, you can directly edit jazn-data.xml with a text editor. The next time OC4J reads jazn-data.xml, it will rewrite the file with all passwords obfuscated and unreadable.
Setting the clear attribute of the <credentials> element to true enables you to use clear (human-readable) passwords in the jazn-data.xml file.
<credentials clear="true">welcome</credentials>
<credentials>!welcome</credentials>

Luis.

HT201240 How to retrieve password when forgotten

I have forgotten my Apple ID and want guests in my home to be able to use my wifi..... How can I do that

Not very clear, do want to retrieve a pass ode for a disabled iPod or disable an iPod?
If the former you cannot retrieve a pass code. You have to restore and remove the pass code in the process. Start iTunes, connect the USB end of the cable then while holding the home button connect the dock connector end of the cable...the proceed to restore.
