HSODBC to sqlserver with NT Authentication

I have setup a connection to serverA ( oracle 8i ) to Sqlserver 2000 using HSODBC where both Oracleservice and Listener are running under LocalSystem. Sqlserver is set to Windows Authentication. Db link ( gram ) is created using xxx as user id and xx as password. This works fine.
I do the same thing from serverB ( oracle 8i ) to same sqlserver as above, but I get error :
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Generic Connectivity Using ODBC]DRV_InitTdp: errors.h (1988): ; [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]
user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'. (SQL State: 00000; SQL Code: 18456)
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from GRAM
I reliase that the erorr is being generated becuase the 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON' is not recognised as windows authenticated. But the same thing works on serverA.
Any ideas ?
Bother serverA and serverB are in same domain.

Just spent several hours researching the problem... if you consider shorting out two keyboards with tears "research."
Then I found the friendly article that shows an OleDB solution instead. Switch your (PROGRAM=hsodbc) to (PROGRAM=hsolesql) and set your HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO to the path of a UDL file. Very clear and very simple. See the article below. Make sure holesql.exe is in your BIN dir.

To create a database link from oracle to sqlserver with NT authentication

Hi ,
I need to create a database link from oracle 9i to sql server database with windows authentication.I dont have the database username and password instead the access is given to my NT ID and password.So can anyone provide me the information about creating a dblink to sql server with windows authentication.
Thanks

Oracle is attempting to log in to SQL Server using NT authentication.
The Oracle process, however, is running presumably with a local admin account (normal for a Windows service). SQL Server has no idea what this local account is, so it denies the login.
You could change the Oracle service to run as a known user (presumably not as your Windows ID but some other Windows ID you create explicitly for Oracle) and then grant that Windows ID in SQL Server appropriate privileges. That would mean, though, that when you queried tables over the database link, you'd be using that new Windows ID's privileges on SQL Server, not your Windows ID's privileges.
As I've said, though, this is a general architectural limitation for a multi-tier architecture. The end system (SQL Server) generally has no idea who the end user (your Windows ID) is when that user is coming through a middle tier (Oracle). So it cannot apply end-user permissions to connections created by the middle tier.

Issue with SharePoint foundation 2010 to use Claims Based Auth with Certificate authentication method with ADFS 2.0

I would love some help with this issue. I have configured my SharePoint foundation 2010 site to use Claims Based Auth with Certificate authentication method with ADFS 2.0 I have a test account set up with lab.acme.com to use the ACS.
When I log into my site using Windows Auth, everything is great. However when I log in and select my ACS token issuer, I get sent, to the logon page of the ADFS, after selected the ADFS method. My browser prompt me which Certificate identity I want
to use to log in and after 3-5 second
and return me the logon page with error message “Authentication failed”
I base my setup on the technet article
http://blogs.technet.com/b/speschka/archive/2010/07/30/configuring-sharepoint-2010-and-adfs-v2-end-to-end.aspx

SharePoint 2010 with LDAP authentication, using NOVELL eDirectory

One of my customers needs a SharePoint application that allows people to authenticate with either an Active Directory account (internal staff) or a Novell eDirectory account (external customers).
Using the following article as a base guide (http://blogs.technet.com/b/speschka/archive/2009/11/05/configuring-forms-based-authentication-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx)
I configured a claims-based test application that had Windows authentication enabled and Forms based authentication (FBA) enabled (this is on a Windows 2008 server and not a domain controller)

With all of this configured, I can go to the new test site, I do see the form where I can choose either Windows authentication or Forms authentication. I can successfully login with Windows authentication, but forms authentication gives me me an error.
The server could not sign you in. Make sure your user name and password are correct, and then try again.
I can successfully login to a LDAP management tool, using the same credentials I entered on the form, so I know the username and password being submitted are correct. I get the following items in the event viewer
8306 - SharePoint Foundation - The security token username and password could not be validated.
in the SharePoint trace logs - Password check on 'testuser' generated exception: 'System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.FailedAuthenticationException]: The security token username and password could not be validated. and
then this:
Request for security token failed with exception: System.ServiceModel.FaultException: The security token username and password could not be validated.
at Microsoft.IdentityModel.Protocols.WSTrust.WSTrustChannel.ReadResponse(Message response)

I monitored the LDAP server and did a packet-trace on the communication happening between the SharePoint server and the LDAP server and it is a bit odd. It goes like this:
The SharePoint server successfully connects to the LDAP server, binding the ldapserviceid+password
The LDAP server tells the SharePoint server it is ready to communicate
the SharePoint server sends an LDAP query to the LDAP server, asking if the name entered in the form authentication page can be found.
The LDAP server does the query, successfully finds the entered name and sends a success message back to SharePoint
The LDAP server sends notification that it is done and is closing the connection that was bound to theldapserviceid+password
The SharePoint server acknowledges the connection is closing
... and then nothing happens, except the error on SharePoint
What I understand is that the SharePoint server, once it gets confirmation that the submitted username exists in LDAP, should attempt to make a new LDAP connection, bound to the username and password submitted in the form (rather than the LDAP service account
specified in the web.config). That part does not seem to be happening.
I am at a standstill on this and any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK, our problem was resolved by removing any information about the ASP.NET role manager. Initially, we had information about a role manager defined in three different web.config files, as well as in the SharePoint Central Administration site, where there
is the checkbox to Enable Forms Based Authentication (you see this when you first create the new SharePoint app, or afterwards by modifying the Authentication Provider for the app.) In either case, you will see two text boxes, underneath the checkbox item
for enabling Forms Based Authentication:
"ASP.NET Membership provider name"
"ASP.NET Role manager name"
We entered a name for Membership provider, and left Role manager blank.
In the web.config for the SharePoint Central Administration site, the SecurityTokenServiceApplication app, and the web app we created with FBA enabled, we entered the following:
<membership>
<providers>
<add name="LdapMember"
type="Microsoft.Office.Server.Security.LdapMembershipProvider, Microsoft.Office.Server, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"
server="ldap.server.address"
port="389"
useSSL="false"
connectionUsername="cn=ldapserviceid,ou=sharepoint,ou=test,ou=location,o=validobject"
connectionPassword="validpassword"
useDNAttribute="false"
userDNAttribute="dn"
userNameAttribute="cn"
userContainer="OU=people,O=validobject"
userObjectClass="person"
userFilter="(ObjectClass=person)"
scope="Subtree"
otherRequiredUserAttributes="sn,givenname,cn" />
</providers>
</membership>
<roleManager>
<providers>
</providers>
</roleManager>
useDNAttribute="false" turned out to be important as well.
So, for us to get LDAP authentication working between SharePoint 2010 and Novel eDirectory, we had to:
leave anything related to the role provider blank
configure the web.config in three different applications, with the proper connection information to reach our Novel eDir
Ensure that useDNAttribute="false" was used in all three on the modified web.config files.
Since our eDir is flat and used pretty much exclusively for external users, we had never done any sort of advanced role management configuration in eDir. So, by having role manager details in the web.config files, SharePoint was waiting for information from
a non-existent role manager.

ASA , Cisco VPN client with RADIUS authentication

Hi,
I have configured ASA for Cisco VPN client with RADIUS authentication using Windows 2003 IAS.
All seems to be working I get connected and authenticated. However even I use user name and password from Active Directory when connecting with Cisco VPN client I still have to provide these credentials once again when accessing domain resources.
Should it work like this? Would it be possible to configure ASA/IAS/VPN client in such a way so I enter user name/password just once when connecting and getting access to domain resources straight away?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,
It is working as it should.
You can enable the vpn client to start vpn before logon. That way you login to vpn and then logon to the domain. However, you are still entering credentials twice ( vpn and domain) but you have access to domain resources and profiles.
thanks
John

Web Service Call with Basic Authentication does not work

If I try to use Basic Authentication in my Web Service Client with the automatically created methods
setUsername(inUserName)
setPassword(inPassword)
setAddress(inAddress)
the application does not make a call. Did I forget something?
Is it possible to use "Test Method" with Basic Authentication?
Thank you.

Thank you for your answer.
But: I already read this article. And it doesn't help me.
I use the following code:
            getMyServiceClient1().setUsername(inUserName);
            getMyServiceClient1().setPassword(inPassword);With this code I always get a java.lang.NullPointerException.
The methods setUsername and setPassword are definded as follows:
public void setUsername(String inUserName) {
        myStub._setProperty(Stub.USERNAME_PROPERTY, inUserName);
public void setPassword(String inPassword) {
        myStub._setProperty(Stub.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, inPassword);
}But if I look at the methods which are generated automatically by Sun Java Studio Creator I cannot find _setProperty.
I also found this thread in your forum:

How do I protect my JNLP, my JARs etc. (with Basic Authentication)???

hi all,
i know that there is a FAQ ( [see here|http://lopica.sourceforge.net/faq.html#obfuscate] ) answering a related question with "You can use an obfuscator...". ok, but is there really no other solution?
this is the simplified folder structure of my application on the server:
[application]
[etc]
    xyz.xml
[jars]
    myapp.jar
launch.jnlp
website.jsp
initial start and basic authentication:*
my first idea was to secure everything underneath "application" with basic authentication via my web.xml (yes, i'm aware of the security concerns). this means everybody can access my website (here: website.jsp) which contains a start button that links to "launch.jnlp". as soon as the user clicks on it, the browser opens its standard authentication dialog since launch.jsp is in a protected area. after entering the correct credentials the jnlp-file is downloaded and java web start takes over control. first of all it seems as it tries to access the same jnlp-file again (??? --> probably in order to check for changes in the jnlp file --> this is certainly not the case for the initial startup) and then wants to download the relevant jar (myapp.jar). because both resources are protected jws opens its own basic authentication dialog where i have to enter the same credentials the second time. as far as i know, there is no solution to pass the credentials between the browser and the jvm.
second start and basic authentication:*
if the user starts my application for the 2nd, 3rd, ... time via desktop-link (set in jnlp-file) there is no need for accessing my website with a browser. therefore only the authentication dialog of jws gets displayed. so far, so good!
and now the actual problem:*
during runtime my application (signed with verisign certificate and having all permissions) uses commons-vfs and commons-httpclient to access resources on the same server (e.g. etc/xyz.xml). since they're underneath the protected "application" directory as well, my application needs the same credentials the user already entered in the authentication dialog of jws. now i could retrieve these credentials by calling Authenticator.requestPasswordAuthentication() within my application and passing them to vfs and httpclient. however, doing so opens up jws' authentication dialog again. grrr!!! is there a way to prevent this?
related thougts:*
i know i could disable jws' default Authenticatior and set my own Authenticator which might be able to return already entered credentials without opening the dialog a second time. however, it seems that even with <property name="javaws.cfg.jauthenticator" value="none" /> jws still opens its own dialog when acessing the JNLP file and the relevant JARs during the startup/download phase. of course, who else if not jws could handle that phase? my application might not even be downloaded at this point. so i guess setting my own Authenticator would not be a solution either (at least not if i want to secure my jnlp and my jars, too). quite the contrary, it would have to open another dialog... :-(
my current solution:*
for the moment i use jws' default Authenticatior which allows me to easily protect all my stuff on the server side (jnlp, jar, etc). i can live with the two login dialogs at the initial startup. and instead of querying the credentials from jws' default Authenticatior at runtime, i set two system properties for username and password in the (protected) jnlp-file, query them at runtime and hand it to vfs and httpclient. this prevents the 2nd (or 3rd) dialog but is definitely not a great solution. most of all i'm not happy with the fact that this somehow "destroys" the container-based security advantage of easily configuring authorized users via a separate mechanism e.g. tomcat-users.xml. now there has to be one master-password that has to be set in the jnlp-file! grrr!
a possible alternative:*
i'm not sure but would it be better to secure everything with form-based authentication on the website, and dynamically generate username and password into the jnlp-file? but what happens when the admin changes the password on the server and the user starts its application via desktop-link??? in case of basic authentication i think jws would popup the login dialog again. however, if i use the old username and password generated into the jnlp it won't work. i think the user then has to access the website again. this is not good at all! :-(
the only real solution:*
should i write a small application which can be downloaded by everybody and on startup queries the user's credentials, validates them with the help of our server, and uses the javax.jnlp-api to download the secured JARs of my real application? this seems so much overkill! does anybody have experiences with this approach? how difficult is it to implement the whole download/update stuff with javax.jnlp?
WHAT HAVE I MISSED???
AM I COMPLETELY WRONG???
WHAT IS THE EASIEST WAY???
AND WHAT IS THE BEST WAY???
thank you so much,
stephan

Not sure, whether I understood correctly, what you wanna do - but up to now I can't see any problem.
if you have a structure like this:
/ctxroot/
       launch.jnlp
       /app/

           *.whateveryou may use in your web.xml:

I forgot my iCloud password, and i can not reset it with email authentication, when i do it, i don't receive any mail from Apple

If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

Invoking an external web service through a JCD with Basic Authentication

Group,
I am trying to invoke an external web service (written in ASP.Net) from a jcd (5.1.2). The web service is guarded by Basic Authentication. I have entered the crudentials into the External Web service environment component and deployed the project. I receive the following error from the .invoke() method:
request requires HTTP authentication: Unauthorized
I have tried the same request through SoapUI using the same crudentials and get back the response correctly. Has anyone tried invoking an external web service with basic authentication through a jcd in 5.1.2 before?
One other item of note. I have another jcd calling a different external web service deployed on the same domain. I hope that this isn't interfering with the execution of this service as it doesn't require any crudentials to execute.

Hey Chris.
I am just starting to write a jcd that calls an external web service but cannot find any sample code nor instructions on how to do it in the supplied documentation. Could you send me a code sample from your one?
Cheers
Matt

Getting SPWeb.CurrentUser as null with Windows Authentication (AD), when configured for Claims Authentication

Hi All,
We recently migrated to SP 2013 from SP 2010. We are using most of the OOB features, with a few custom code. We have implemented a custom ASP.NET Membership Provider that authenticates against a web service. This was working fine on SP 2010.
The entire code base was migrated to SP 2013 (with .net fw 4.5, etc) and any issues Compile / Runtime were fixed. However, we are stuck at one bug, which seems to be occuring only while trying to login with Windows Authentication. When a user tries to login
with Forms Authentication, the error is never noticed.
Scenrio: Login as Windows Authentiction.
Result: The user is signed into the system and is authenticated against the AD. For random page loads - it throws access denied (even though he is a site collection admin). While attaching a debugger, we found that, at times the SPWeb.CurrentUser is null (weird).
At the same time, the HttpContext.Current.Request.IsAuthenticated returns true. Which means the User is Authenticated, but not available in the SPWeb.CurrentUser object.
Attached are couple of ULS Logs that we found. The line which says IsAuthenticated=True, UserIdentityName=, ClaimsCount=0 is a little disturbing. Can you please let me know what is happening here? I am not able to access the root site (http://win2012d2:1234/)
however, i am able to access (http://win2012d2:1234/SitePages/Home.aspx) just fine, without any issues.
Please note, this error is only when the user is logged into sharepoint as a windows user. The forms user faces no such issues.

Hi Mohamed,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when users login with Windows Authentication.
From the error message, I recommend to check if the anonymous access is enabled for the web application.
And please also make sure that the users all are available and have permission to access the site.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:

Windows 7 Home Premium with 802.1x problems with the Authentication

We have problems with OS Windows 7 Home Premium 802.1x, the message in ACS:
EAP-TLS or PEAP authentication failed during SSL handshake
ACS v4.1
We have OS Windows 7 Professional and doesn´t have problems with the authentication.
I hope that you can help me
Regards

We were investigated with specialist people of OS Windows and the conclusion was that the Home Premium Version has restrictions about authentication and domain (Active Directory). So we need change the version of OS (Proffessional for example).
If you had another tip, please tell me and I try it for resolve this issue, if not we have to change the OS.
Regards

Error 18452 "Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication" on SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition 64-bit SP2 clustered instance

Hi there,
I have a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 SP2 cluster which has 2 SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition x64 SP2
instances.
A domain account "Domain\Login" is administrator on both physcial nodes and "sysadmin" on both SQL Server instances.
Currently both instances are running on same node.
While logging on to SQL Server instance 2 thru "Domain\Login" using "IP2,port2", I get error 18452 "Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication". This happened in the past
as well but issue resolved post insatllation of SQL Server 2008R2 SP2. This has re-occurred now. But it connects using 'SQLVirtual2\Instance2' without issue.
Same login with same rights is able to access Instance 1 on both 'SQLVirtual1\Instance1' and "IP1,port1" without any issue.
Please help resolve the issue.
Thanks,
AY

Hello,
I Confirm that I encountred the same problem when the first domain controller was dow !!
During a restarting of the first domain controller, i tried to failover my SQL Server instance to a second node, after that I will be able to authenticate SQL Server Login but Windows Login returns Error 18452 !
When the firts DC restart finishied restarting every thing was Ok !
The Question here : Why the cluster instance does'nt used the second DC ???

Administration of APEX in SQL Developer with Proxy Authentication impossibl

Hello!
We are using latest version of SQL Developer to administer APEX. We are connecting to the database with proxy authentication. The syntax is:
personal_user[apex_ws_owner]
e.g.: mdecker[apex_demo]
When trying to deploy APEX application I go to "Database Object" -> Application Express -> Application1 [100] -> right mouse click: "Deploy Application". Then I select the appropriate database identifier and next, I am presented with a screen showing import options. In second line, it says: "Parsing Schema: MDECKER".
This is wrong: it has to be Parsing Schema: APEX_DEMO. It seems that managing APEX with SQL Developer does not support Proxy Authentication.
Could you please confirm?
Is there a way to formally ask for this enhancement?
Best regards,
Martin
Update:
I found out that if I check the flag "Proxy Authentication" in the connect details and provide both passwords, the deploy application parsing schema is set to the correct APEX_DEMO account. However, we are using Proxy Authentication in order to avoid having to know the application password.
Edited by: mdecker on Jan 28, 2013 4:48 PM

There is a write-up about connecting to APEX here: <a href ="http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/sql_dev_integration.html" >SQL Dev Oracle APEX Integration</a>
<p>You do need to have updated to Oracle APEX 3.0.1.
<p>Regards <br>

Intel Mac OS X can't connect using 802.1x with TTLS authentication

To login at the wireless network on my school I use the following settings:
802.1x connection with TTLS authentication and TTLS inner authentication set to PAP.
My MacBook Pro logs in, but has a self assigned ip-address and I can't use the network.
On my old iBook and my friend's Powerbook with exact the same settings it works perfect. (and gets an assigned ip-address throug DHCP.
Bug in the Intel version of Mac OS X I guess?

Regarding the post about other intel macs being unaffected, I don't have an imac so I don't know for sure, but the connectivity problems seem to be more widely reported for the macbooks. It's certainly possible they are affected as well, but I was under the impression they were using a different chipset and/or firmware. (note to self, check on that).
What I cant understand is why they have changed the
airport express card for the intel macs, albeit the
processor has changed but that shouldn't affect the
card as that should be processor
The intel macs were largely designed by intel. I suspect that apple provided case dimensions and a specifications list which intel then used for the designs. The wireless cards in the powerbooks were based (iirc) on a pc-card bus. The older airports were based on PCMCIA-16.
In the macbooks, it appears to be a mini-PCI-express. (I had to send my back for noise issues. ASP might tell you what bus it connects to). The benefit to this is better speed and the possibility of future expansion. Dell uses the same connector.
Some side-benefits of having the board designed by intel (or with heavy intel involvement) is that we can already dual-boot windows XP. Wireless seems to work fine if you run windows on the macbook. Therefore, I think this is a driver issue likely to be resolved sooner rather than later.
