SSO fails - userPassword having special characters

Hi,
This is a tricky situation i'm handling. I did a insert of around 1000 users into Sun DS whose userPassword contained special characters accepted by DS. mainly + and ;.
For seeing if authentication will work, i just created a user through AM Console having userid and password both containing special characters. IT WORKED!! Hooray upto now.
Here comes the problem. The backend insert was done through creating an LDIF file with all user attributes and using ldapadd to insert them. From what i've read, userPassword gets encrypted using SSHA. Fine with me!! Now, when i login using one of the uid's i inserted through the LDIF file, it says Authentication Failed. Okey dokey! I went n changed the same user's (who was born from the LDIF file) password through AM Console and voila!! Now am able to login using the same uid which was not able to login before.
This is something very strange.. Can somebody throw some light on how I'm supposed to inserting user's password in the LDIF the same way AM Console seems to be doing it? You're help will be much appreciated.
My LDIF has the following attributes which concern uid and pwd
dn: uid=test\+,ou=People,o=test,dc=sample,dc=com
sn: test
givenname: guy
uid: test\+
uid: test+
userPassword: test+
I even tried with test\+ in the password. Still doesnt work!! HELP!!!

thanks for the replies.
iAMTheGuy,
I am using AM 7.1(which came along with Sun Portal server 7.1) installed in legacy mode.
Eric,
I use ldapmodify to add users. I noticed encryption happens automatically, so i dont know pwdhash is needed. I have to note one thing. The authentication works if I add the user from AMCONSOLE and that user has special characters. This is A OK..
All,
But i still have problems with adding user in LDIF file with special character in userPassword. I use only the ldapmodify -a command with the user attributes that are needed to insert a simple user.. stuff like cn,sn,givenname and the likes. I am able to add users & configure them for JDBC authentication to MySQL. This works fine.. LDIF users + JDBC authentication is great. But I might have to accomodate a scenario where LDAP authentication will be used in the near future. So, password havin special characters is needed considering the users in MySQL are allowed such passwords & may be migrated in the future .
Any workarounds? Or should i give up using passwords with special characters.
I had a suggestion, not sure if it'll work. Some1 please shed light on this. In case, I store the password with special characters in some other attribute, say title or some custom attribute not shown in AMCONSOLE, can i change LDAP authentication to use that attribute instead of userPassword? is userPassword the constant attribute for authentication?

any idea how to create how to do create data type for coulmn name having special characters

Hi Amit,
Can you ellaborate ?
Actually if you are reading a file(or anything else) which contains special characters, the data type can be created as done for other interfaces. But it is in the adapters that we actually take care of handling these special characters.

Rename Files while uploading, having special characters in File Name.

Hello Forum,
In our SharePoint environment, we are having many document library. Our users regularly uploads files to the documents library. As SharePoint doesn't allow to use "&" character in file name, it'll throw an exception regarding the file
name.
Now what I needed is :
Is there any way to remove "&" character while uploading files? Can we replace "&" with any other character while uploading files.
If is there any paid solution available, leave comment.
Thanks in Advance.

You have to change the folder/file names before hand then upload them to Sharepoint.
here is the script which will scan the files/folder and find the special charaters and fix for you.

Special Characters in post

I am having trouble with my HTML forms posting special characters like trademark symbol, copyright symbol, etc, to a servlet. If the user uses the html equivalents (ex. & #153;), it works fine. But I have alot of clients who do a copy-paste from an excel spreadsheet which explicitely pastes the symbol. My servlet log displays a ? instead of the symbol.
Is this not supported in the post? Do I have to set the accept-charset attribute of the form tag?
Any suggestions appreciated,
JEB
(testing a copy-paste of trademark symbol below)
� - should be a TM

Thanks, that is a good idea (assuming JavaScript is able to interpret the character). I am still hoping there is a way around that.
The TM test on my original post did not work. Yet, if you paste the TM special character in the search box on the top of this window the search will return the special character on the results page. So, there should be a way to do it.
Any other suggestions out there?

Oracle SQL query for getting specific special characters from a table

Hi all,
This is my table
Table Name- Table1
S.no    Name
1          aaaaaaaa
2          a1234sgjghb
3          a@3$%jkhkjn

9           dfgfdgfd"uodf
10         aaaa bbbbz#$
11         cccc dddd-/mnm
The output has to be
S.no    Name
3          a@3$%jkhkjn
5          bbvxzckvbzxcv&^%#
7          sdsaf$([]:'
8          <-fdsjgbdfsg
10         aaaa bbbbz#$
It has to return "Name" column which is having special characters,whereas some special chars like -, / ," and space are acceptable.
The Oracle query has to print columns having special characters excluding -,/," and space
Can anyone help me to get a SQL query for the above.
Thanks in advance.

Special Characters and spaces in Tablenames and Column Names are allowed ?

Hi
I have created two tables in Oracle10g
as follows
SQL> create table test(columna number,columnb varchar2(20),primary key(columna));
Table created.
SQL> insert into test values(1,'test');
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
COMMIT är utfört.
SQL> create table "test quote"("#" number,abc number,primary key("#"));
Table created.
SQL> insert into "test quote" values(1,2);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
COMMIT är utfört.
SQL> select * from "test quote";
# ABC
1 2
SQL> select * from test;
COLUMNA COLUMNB
1 test
Now I want to cache the tables and their data into TimesTen
The cache group for table test which is not having any spaces and special characters in table name and column names is created perfectly.
But when I create the cache group for table "test quote" which is having special characters and spaces it gives error :
Command>create readonly cache group w2 from testuser.test(columna number,columnb varchar2(20),primary key(columna));
Command>select * from test;
<1,test>
1 row found.
Command>create readonly cache group w3 from testuser."test quote"("#" number,abc number,primary key("#"));
5140: Could not find TESTUSER.TEST QUOTE in Oracle. May not have privileges.
Command Failed.
Now there is contradiction that why cache group for table test is created successfully and why it is not being created for table "test quote".
What I think is if special characters and spaces in column names and table names are possible in Oracle then it sould be possible in TimesTen.
Any possible solution.
Looking forward for your reply.
Please help I am stuck badly.

Checking for Special Characters

I need to check if a textbox in my form containes special characters (entered by user). If there are any, I need to display an error message.
I have written a function but it's not working.
here's my function:
function checkForSpecialChracters(oFiled)
var userInput = oFiled.rawValue; // take the String entered by the user
var iChars = "@#$%^&*+=-[]\\\';,./{}|\":<>?~_";
for (var i = 0; i < userInput.length; i++)
if (iChars.indexOf(userInput.charAt(i)) != -1) {
xfa.host.messageBox("Please check for special characters. The following characters are not allowed: @#$%^&*+=-[]\\\';,./{}|\":<>?~_ ", "Error Message", 3);
// Change the color of the field
oFiled.fillColor = "255,100,50";
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Paul,
It is working now. I don't know what I might have changed.
Here's my final function (It works!):
function checkForSpecialChracters(oFiled)
var userInput = oFiled.rawValue; // take the String entered by the user
var iChars = "@#$%^&*+=-[]\\\';,./{}|\":<>?~_";
var hasSpecialCharacter = false;
for (var i = 0; i < userInput.length; i++)
//app.alert("Value is: " + userInput.charAt(i));
if (iChars.indexOf(userInput.charAt(i)) != -1)
hasSpecialCharacter = true;
break;
} // end if
} // end For loop
if (hasSpecialCharacter)
// Change the color of the field
oFiled.fillColor = "255,100,50";
xfa.host.messageBox("Please check for special characters. \n\nThe following characters are not allowed:\n\n @#$%^&*+=-[]\\\';,./{}|\":<>?~_ ", "Error Message", 3);
else if (!hasSpecialCharacter)
oFiled.fillColor = "255,255,255";

Cannot read out loud special characters when text is french

Hi everyone,
First of all, I hope my english is on par for your understanding. I speak french as first language and we use the French installation of our Adobe products.
Working in the IT department, our clients working in the communications department currently use Acrobat pro X on Mac 10.8 to make accessible PDFs. Before I reinstalled their iMacs with a fresh copy of 10.8, they were working on OSX 10.6, also with Acrobat Pro X. They didn't have the following issue.
Since the fresh 10.8 install, they cannot use the read out loud function properly. As you may know, with french language comes the use of special characters. Lots of them. But Acrobat will not read out loud any sentence or paragraph having special characters like " é, à, ù, è" and such.
I first contacted Adobe, a few weeks ago, through their Live chat function, about this problem. They addressed the issue by stating that they do not support Acrobat X on 10.8. I had to reinstall Acrobat using version XI in order to receive support. Fortunately, I was able to download the correct version and use it in trial mode. Unfortunatly though, I still had the same issue. It seems that I no longer have access to Live chat, so I turn to you all for help.
Also, I have a French voice pack in OSX and when I use the Voiceover function in OSX, outside of Acrobat, the system reads out loud any accents or special characters like it should. This is mainly why I associated the issue with Acrobat and not OSX.
If you need clarifications, ask away and I will get back as soon as possible.
Thank you for your time.

Used your sentence "TTS is closed October 9th." in a Word file and output a tagged PDF via PDFMaker.
Added Alt Text for the tag that was the parent for the container holding the text string.
ROL with Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat X Pro spoke the entered Alt Text.
In short, could not duplicate what you've described.
Perhaps an Acrobat repair or processing any outstanding updates could resolve things.
Or a return to the structure tree may be in order. Look for what is amiss there.
Be well...

Is there any other way to handle special characters other than using CDATA?

I have xerces parser with which i am trying to parse data having special characters. Special characters also include other ascii characters. I tried using CDATA Section but still the problem persists.
It would be really helpful if anyone can help me in solving this problem.
Error encountered :
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0xf) was found in the CDATA section.
The XML which I use contains junk characters also . Have a look at the following:

SQL Loader doesn't handle special characters

Hi All:
My DB characterset and NLS characterset is UTF8.
When i tried to insert records with SQL *Loader having special characters, it doesn't get stored correctly, so when i try to get it out thru' SQLPlus Worksheet, it displays garbage characters.
Do we have to set something in the control file?
Pls. help.

You need to create the data file in UTF8 format. For eg. On Win2K, "Save As" in Notepad as UTF8. Or use the uniconv utility to convert the data file to utf8.
Here is an example of a control file
'sqlldr32.cnt'
load data
infile 'sqlldr32.dat'
APPEND into table nls_demo
fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"'
(myno char(10),
myname char(40),
mydesc char(1000))
null

HTML special characters in form input

In my site I store form input in my database. Before I store
the data, I parse out smart quotes, en dashes, and other extended
special characters and convert them into HTHML quivalents such as
’
All is well and good until the user goes to edit their info.
In my form these characters show up in my <input> tags as
their long-winded HTML equivalents, such as ’ instead of
a smart apostrophe.
Is there any way to convert these back to the special
characters from the HTML on the form input text fields so that
users can edit them without being confused?
Thanks.

Hmmm, well I ran the MX 6.1 updater and installed the two hot
fixes that had to do with null pointer exceptions and it still does
not work.
Here is the detailed error I'm getting, if it helps. Any more
ideas? Thanks again for the help, I'm really stuck on this one...
