Getting invalid username/ password when trying to change expired password

I am using Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production.
I created a user with password expire option and gave create session grant. When I tried to connect with the user it gives me password expired message as expected but when I try to put new password it gives me invalid username/password as show below. I have tried many times and made sure new password and retype new password are same and long enough.
Could anyone please advice what am I missing?

Forms Services: Invalid username/password when trying to use Forms Utility

In Oracle Application Server Control, Forms Services, I clicked on Forms-> Forms Utility-> In the Command text field, I typed "ps" then I clicked <Submit>.
A username/password form is displayed. I entered the username/password then clicked on OK button.
The following error message appeared, although the username/password provided was for sure correct (they are the ones I used when I started the Oracle AS Control in the first place):
Error: oracle.sysman.emSDK.emd.comm.RemoteOperationException Check the User Name and Password
Also I got the same message when I tried to stop a session.
Am I right that I should use the administrator username/password used to start the Oracle AS Control? If yes, why I am gotten this message?

Frank,
- user credential should be OS userid/password of user who installed iAS.
I had tried to log on using OS userid/password.
- set "Log on as a batch job" priviledge.
privilege had been already assigned.
- check if "allow service to interact with desktop" is enabled
it had been already enabled.
- If your system does not have MKS TOOLKIT, it won't work. However, this page is designed for future enhancement. See Online Help.
1. What is MKS Toolkit?
2. It is stated in the documentation that it will be enhanced in the future but the command "ps" should work. It is clearly stated that I should see a list of processes.
Thanks Frank.
Merry Christmas to you by the way.

Invalid username/password when running VSM1.3

Hi, I have the issue of invalid username/password when running VSM 1.3.
When I ran authentication.java , I got the error as follow:
oracle: Exception thrown from getService method of ServiceLocator class: Lookup error:javax.naming.AuthenticationException:Invalid username/password for current-workspace-app(admin);nested exception is: javax.naming.AuthenticationException:Invalid username/password for current-workspace-app(admin)
When running the web app, I got same message "Invalid username/password ".
I checked the database. There are 4 records for admin,apparelowner,electowner and guest.
My oracle db has japanese character set.
I have read all the threads about the topic of VSM.
But unfortunately I didn't find a clear conclusion and solution for this issue.
Is it an issue of locale? Really appreciate your reply.
Leon

Edited by: SSNair on Jun 17, 2011 5:43 AMHere's your problem:
-bash-3.00$ sqlplus IRES_USER/U9$bvs#ir@DBBecaue of the dollar-sign, The shell is trying to expand the environment variable $bvs#ir@DB
Of course you have no environment variable by that name so what gets passed to sqlplus is not "IRES_USER/U9$bvs#ir@DB", but rather "IRES_USER/U9"
In your first test, you didn't pass the password on the command line, so the shell didn't get a chance to intercept it.
You can have a similar issue if you have a '@' in your password
oracle> sqlplus scott/P@ssword@orclTns will catch that first "@" as the delimiter to the tns string, and come up with something that cant' be resolved.

Logon Failed - Invalid element error when trying to connect to SalesForce

I had a working crystal reports database connection to salesforce until I installed a Crystal Reports update on my machine. It is currently running v12.2.0.290 (CR Developer).
Since the update when trying to connect, I enter my password and salesforce security token to get access to the database but now I receive an error that says:
Logon Failed
Details: Unexpected error
; nested exception is
org.xml.sax.SAXException: Invalid element in com.sforce.soap.partner.LoginResult - metadataServerUrl
Help is resolving this error would be appreciated.

Hi Ron -- you have installed SP2 of Crystal Reports 2008. You will need to install the FP 2.2 as per this thread -- Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 update to the Salesforce.com connectivity
Let us know if this solved your problem.
Thanks,
Pete

"stack overflow" when trying to connect with Oracle ODBC

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to Oracle DB (8.1.7.3.0) from WinNT 4.0 SP6 with Oracle ODBC driver 8.0.6.6.0. I've been trying to connect with "Oracle ODBC Test" and with "MS Query". In either way I end up with Dr. Watson reporting about "stack overflow". Before starting to upgrade ODBC driver I wanted to ask - should these versions of driver and DB work together at all (even unofficially)? Or may I be missing some other thing? Any hints, ideas are welcome.
Regards,
Madis Priilinn

Thank You for replying, Justin!
Yes, I can connect successfully to the database through other tools - at the moment I tried SQL*Plus, Net8 Easy Config and Schema Manager.
The Oracle client in the NT machine is 8.0.5.0.0. And unfortunately I do not know anything about the Oracle installation on this machine and at the moment I don't have that person near me too whom to ask also. But I think the installation was ok, because the connection through ODBC was working before the DB upgrade as far as I understood (sorry, again at the moment I don't know what was the previous version of DB. I will ask that information as soon as possible).
The main problem that bothers me at the moment is that I can't install 8.1.* series OraODBC driver with 8.0.5.0.0 Oracle Installer. I managed to install 8.0.6.6.0 version of the driver, but not the newer ones. As far as I've understood I have to upgrade the whole Oracle in the NT machine to upgrade that installer. Am I correct?

Invalid Password when trying to connect wirelessly

Hey all,
For some reason my wife's laptop has decided to not recognize my wireless password. I have tried changing the router's security from WEP to WPA and back. Different passes, everything.
Network Setup Assistant sees the network but gives "The password you entered is invalid". Her new MacBook sees and logs in fine. I have been extremely careful in putting in the password and have tried both my password (13 characters) and long 26 hex.
The only thing out of the ordinary is I recently upgraded my DLink (DIR-615) firmware. I can't imagine why that would cause these problems though.
I am completely stumped. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Well it is definitely the router. I went to Panera Bread and got on without a problem.
I checked D-Link's troubleshooting site and that wasn't much help. I am using Hardware Version B2 FW 2.25. The closest was:
"To use encryption with the 2 products, you must use a HEX key instead of using a passphrase. To enter a HEX key on the Apple product, enter a dollar sign ($) before the key. For example:
For 64-bit encryption, enter $1234567890."
But the thing is I am trying to connect with security turned OFF!
So if this is a firmware problem without solution I was wondering if it might be possible to set up my old Netgear MR314 in conjunction with the D-Link. Is this possible or too problematic?
Thanks for the help.

Windows 7 Backup is not accepting my username/password when trying to back up to my network

When trying to Backup (and/or Create a System image) onto my Network w/Windows 7 Professional, after entering my username and password, I get the following pop up message: "The specified network location cannot be used. Verify the path points
to a correct network location and that the supplied credentials can be used for write access to the folder." Details further show " The specified service does not exist as an installed service (0x80070424)"
I have no problems dragging and dropping anything across my network or accessing any part w/Explorer. Originally I had no password set up at all, but set one up just to try and satisfy the Backup setup windows. I've also turned off all Firewall protection
and Anti-virus software. Still no luck. Am on a Home network/Home group, not a Domain.
I've successfully done this in the past with no problems. I don't know what changed - obviously something did.
I've searched the web for answers, but so far have not found any - this is my first post specifically asking for help.
Is it even worth the trouble if I can create an image onto disks or an external hard drive directly connected via USB. Win7 Professional is supposed to Backup to the Network and that is what I would really like to do. Rem: PC - Personal Computer.
Any help would be appreciated - thanks in advance.
Mike M.

Thanks for your response. I'm trying to back up to an external hard drive connected directly to my router (via usb). It's a small home network and permissions on all computers are set to share. Originally I set up no password login on the computers. That's
how I'm able to drag and drop and access any file on any computer from any other computer. I've set the router permissions to access the attached hard drive as well - have tried that (router) username an password combination as well when asked - didn't
expect it to work, and it didn't. I've now set the user login (one account (admin)) on ea. computer to the same combination, hoping it would help the backup issue. Didn't work either. It does not matter what I set the network backup path to (in the Win7
Backup prompt), be it the external hard drive on the router, another computer or anything else on the network, I get the same response. Homegroup permissions on all computers are set to the same. I really only want the convenience of an Image Backup -
to my network - without having to make disks or attaching an external hard drive directly to the laptop.

Server does not recognize my username/password when trying to email photos

I am trying to mail photo's from my Iphoto's through my email account. However each time I try to send the pics I get a message that the server does not recognize my username/password. I have a password for my Bell sympatico account which is the account I am trying to use, but when I enter that password I get the does not recognize message. I then tried to use my Apple password and again same message.
Thank you to anyone who can help me
Maureen

Hi Bob,
The following is exactly what I do, I go to IPHOTO and click on the photo I want to send, then I go to the Share menu and insert the email address where I want it sent. In that message it shows my other account which is my email address that I use all the time for all my correspondance. So I have that as the address I am sending from
Then I hit send and a text box comes up saying there is some text related to the photo looks like you could put a description here so I just hit Send anyway. Then I hit the send key and that is when the message box pops up with my complete email address with ;smtp.me.com" at the end . None of those letters or characters are in my email address. Any help you can offer I am greatly appreciative!
Cheers
Maureen

Issues when trying to connect to Oracle database

Hi
We have set up a linked server in SQL Server to connect to an Oracle database. We are using SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (64 bit) on Windows Server 2008 and Oracle client 11g 11.02.00.01 connecting to Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production using UTF8.
Most tables are selectable without error, however, we got this error message for some:
Msg 7347, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' for linked server 'OurLinkedServer' returned data that does not match expected data length for column '[OraOLEDB.Oracle].Ourfieldname'. The (maximum) expected data length is 6, while the returned data length is 2.
This error message refers to a column of type char(3)
Will the characterset cause this error (I’ve read that SQL Server doesn’t support UTF8)?
If not, is there some other resolution that anyone can think of?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
Tom

"INVALID PASSWORD" when trying to connect to Linksys Wireless Router

MacBook would connect to neighbors unsecured network, as well as network at local restaurant, but would not connect to my WPA Personal protected network.
Here is what I finally did to gain access:
1-Obtained the mac address for all 3 wireless computers.
2-Accessed the router, then went to the wireless tab>wireless mac filter.
3-Enabled mac address filtering, then entered the mac addresses of the three computers.
4-Selected the option to only allow these mac addresses to access the router.
5-Turn off the wireless security. 6-change the wireless security setting on each computer to none. Even with broadcast ssid disabled, all were able to detect and connect to the router.
As I think I understand it....to access my router, you'd have to know the hidden (ssid broadcast disabled) network name, but since I am allowing access only to the mac addresses listed, you can't access my network....so this should be pretty secure.
I'm a network (and Mac) novice, so if I'm wrong, please correct me (nicely).

Found my problem....When connecting to your network, and you're asked for your password (WPA in my case), make sure you enter your WPA Shared Key, and not your Router password. I think I win the dumb mistake of the year award.

Invalid password when trying to connect to wireless internet

I have just bought a 20 inch iMac and am having troubling connecting to the wireless internet in this house. My mac address has been added to the administrators network and she has given me the password but it comes back invalid. I am putting it in in lower case, exactly as it is written. I have gone thru network diagnostics etc. but still does not work. I went into Airport Utility but it couldn't find anything and asked me to rescan.
Is there anyone out there that had a similar problem, or can anyone help. At the moment I am using the internet via their ethernet cable in someone else's room, but would like to use wireless in my own room.

If you are entering the correct password, then I can only assume that your MAC is incorrect in the router.
Your Mac has two MAC addresses - one for Ethernet and a different one for WiFI. Be sure that your WiFI MAC is the one added to the router for WiFi

Invalid publishSettings file when trying to connect to debug azure

In order to connect and debug a node.js program on Azure websites, I need to use a publishSettings file. When I download one from the Azure management console, and try to import it I get the following:
    c:\>azure account import "MyServices.azurewebsites.net.PublishSettings"
    info:    Executing command account import
    error:   Invalid publishSettings file. Use "azure account download" to download publishing credentials.
    info:    Error information has been recorded to azure.err
    error:   account import command failed
When I try to use the "azure account download" command, it opens a browser window, and then gives me a 500 error from the azure management system.
Same things happen when I try to do this from the Azure PowerShell commands.
Thanks

Hi,
Does your issue have been fixed? From my experience, this may be caused by the service manage fault, see details at azure service dashboard.
Please kindly read this article, It gives a detail way of using PowerShell to download and import file:
