Limit Password Characters in Portal?

We have EP 6.0 Stack 9 installed. Is there a method to limit the characters used in usernames and passwords to non-Unicode characters? We have a filtering mechanism that only works with the Latin-1 character so we want to limit characters to that character set.

You can configure rules regarding length, number chars / digits, spaces, repeating last password, uid in passwd, but not to my knowledge are you able to set a "list" of acceptable characters.

ACS 4.0 and german password characters???

Hello. I have attempted to map ACS 4.0 to Windows AD 2003 as an External Database.
This all works fine. The only weird thing is that ACS doesn't accept user passwords containing german special characters (such as ä,ö,ü).
From the file "C:\Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS v4.0\CSAuth\Logs\AUTH.log" I get the following information:
AUTH 14/02/2006 14:35:13 I 1554 2088 pvAuthenticateUser: authenticate 'testuser1' against Windows Database

When I set the user password (on the AD Server 2003) without an german umlaut (ä, ö..) the authentication process works fine:

Any ideas ?
Is this an known issue in this release ? At the moment we map ACS 2.6 to Windows NT 4 as an External Database. In this configuration the
authentication process works as well with german password characters!!!
Thanks for help!

Hi
Looks like you are doing PAP, if you switch to MSCHAP then ACS will never see the password (only a hash created by the supplicant)
This will tell you whether the problem is ACS or AD.

Preventing Password Characters from being Displayed

I know this question has been asked and answered about a billion times but I can't seem to find any definitive answer as to how it will be addressed or if there are any plans to address it in the future.
We all know that when an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch user is prompted for a password (AppleID, enterprise, web site, etc) that the characters are displayed before being concealed by a black dot. Again, arguing over how ridiculous of a design flaw this is, at this point, completely moot. However, does anyone from Apple have an answer as to what will be or can be done in the future?
My situation is this: I am an IT administrator in a private Jesuit school. Nearly all of our faculty have been given iPads and we have installed AppleTVs and new projectors in all of our classrooms for the faculty to mirror content on their iPads rather than using a desktop PC (we're trying to phase desktops out of the enterprise except for labs and work areas).
All faculty using iPads have been briefed on this situation and we've had very few occurences of passwords being compromised. However, even the most vigilant educator slips up and, just today, it was determined that one of our teachers' test banks (which resides on the teacher's network home share) was accessed by a student who saw his password during an iPad mirroring session. The student copied tests and distributed them to his classmates.
Besides venting a little and looking for some sort of solution, what I would like to know is Apple plans on addressing this in the next version of the IOS. Frankly, for the inroads that Apple has made into the classroom and enterprise with iPads, there appears to be very little thought given to how little things like password security and AppleID/iPad provisioning and the difficulty managing these things can affect an institution's decision to introduce a device that holds so much promise.
Any case, if anyone at apple is listening, I VOTE THAT YOU OFFER SOME WAY TO CONCEAL PASSWORDS WHILE THEY ARE TYPED INTO THE PASSWORD FIELD (this can be configured as an option on Android devices, not sure why Apple can't do it).

No sorry, The only way I can think of would require modifying the iOS itself. Unless you can find a password management app that would allow copying and pasting without showing the characters. I use mSecure, and with that one can paste-to-clipboard a password without actually displaying the password. As long as the app you are pasting the password into supports hidden password characters, you can paste the password into the field without it every dispalying any characters. It works that way at least with the apps I use (banking/financial apps, for example).
The onle issue with mSecure is that if you tap a bit too far to the left of the "copy to clipboard", you will display the password. But there are lots of password manager apps in the app store, so I'm not saying msecure is the only or even the best option.

Maximum limit of characters in the "IN" caluse

Hi,
Could any one please tell me what is the maximum limit of characters I can use in the âINâ clause?
I am getting the error when executing the query by using more than 1000 items ids in "IN" clause:
"SELECT * from test where item_id IN ('4a00dec880003900', '4a00dec88000259a','4a00dec88000259a','4a00dec880000518â, ............................., up to more than 1000 item ids)â
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ashok

You are limited to 1000 elements. There is no character limit, other than the one imposed by the limit on the number of elements.
If you have more than a couple dozen elements, I would generally suggest throwing them in a table and doing
WHERE item_id IN (SELECT item_id FROM <<new table>>)which can have an unlimited number of elements.
Additionally, note that when you start having a large number of elements, you are often better served using an EXISTS clause rather than an IN clause.

How to pass username and password with the portal url

i want to access portal from my web site. i have created username and password fields in my web page. when submited , my portal page should open. so how to pass username and password with the portal url.

This is not straightforward; but it is doable.
First tell us about your portal version; portal 10.1.4 has a slightly different method of doing it and the pre-10g portals were completely different animals.
And if you are in AS Rel 2, then the most important document for you would probably be the following:
[Creating Deployment Specific Pages| http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/idmanage.1012/b14078/custom.htm#i1015535]
You might want to use it in conjunction with some metalink notes about your portal version and such a login page.
hope that helps!

How to limit captcha characters ?

How can I manually limit the characters in the captcha extension to 4 characters for example?
thanks for helping me!
adrian

Hi Adrian,
well I think I succeeded changing the char limit to, say, 4 :: at the bottom of the mentioned "KT_CaptchaImage.class.php" file you´ll see a function named "getRandomText" -- and in here there´s a line saying:
$_SESSION[$this->name] = substr($str, 0,
rand(5,8));
When changing the "random, between 5 and 8" values
(to, say, (5,7)) and reloading the page containing the captcha, the number of displayed chars changed as well, means I got between 5 and 7 chars, but never 8 as before.
In order to change it to *exactly* 4 chars, just use (4,4) here. You might as well do away with the "rand" function then, but that´s another story -- however, it works for me !

Is there a limit of characters in the document JavaScripts window?

Hi,
I have several functions with huge arrays of data linked to a button field. All works fine if everything is declared in the document scripts and if the array is not too big. Once I try to insert a very huge array in the document script I receive the message "text is too large to be displayed in this dialogue". Why is so? Is there a limit of characters in the document script window?
I am therefore trying to set up all arrays and functions in a separate javascript file and then embedded it into the 3d annotation. But when I do so,I loose the link to the button field action.
As an example I have embedded in the 3d annotation:
global.X= [[10,20,30,40],[5,15,25,35],[7,17,27,37]];
function Update(n) {
     getAnnots3D(0)[0].activated = true;
     var a = global.X[0][n];
     var b = global.X[1][n];
     var c = global.X[2][n];
     var Mycamera = this.getAnnots3D(0)[0].context3D.scene.cameras.getByIndex(0);
     Mycamera.position.set(a,b,c);
     camera_1.roll = 0;
and then I add in the button field Mouse Up action:
Update(3);
but nothing happens (while if the same script is in the document level script it works). I am probably missing the link between the embedded function and the button field? (either at host/doc/app level..)
many thanks for the help!

Your script contexts are messed up.
That script is expecting to be run at the document level because it's collecting a reference to the 3D API (via getAnnots3D). You also have an undeclared variable (camera_1).
If you want it to work as a 3D embedded script (not sure why) then you will need to remove the reference to "getAnnots3D.context3D" from the function, so you'd simply say
var Mycamera = .scene.cameras.getByIndex(0);
There's no point in using the first line of the function to activate the API, as the function wouldn't exist until it was active.
Your button will then need to target the function with a reference, so it'd be getAnnots3D(0)[0].context3D.Update(3); (you will also want to put the activation command on the button's event)

What is the password for the Portal User in 9i Release 2?

What is the default password for the Portal User in 9i AS Release 2? I'm assuming this is the equivalent user to the Portal30 user in 3.0.9?
Thanks.

Jeremy,
The default password for the Portal user in the same password as ias_admin. This would be defined at install time through the Oracle Universal Installer. However, if you're asking about identifying the Portal schema password in the database, you can login to the Directory Manager(assuming you're using Windows)and login as
cn=orcladmin
password: (ias_admin password)
Click on (entry management)=>(cn=OracleContext)=>(cn=Products)=>(cn=IAS)=>cn=Infrastructure Databases => ReferenceName=sid:host=>ResourceName=Portal. Click on the entry and look at the orclpasswordattribute.
Incidentally, you can also find the orasso password by checking the ResourceName=orasso.
Note:198800.1 on metalink would be a good resource to follow.
Thanks,

Is there a limit to characters in the Header/Footer section of a region?

Hi
I have a js scripts that I placed in the Header/Footer Section of a particalur reason.
It is quiet a lengthly script but when I click apply changes I get the following APEX error message.
ORA-20001: Error in DML: p_rowid=641043905163928761, p_alt_rowid=ID, p_rowid2=, p_alt_rowid2=. ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
Is this message cause by a limit on the number of characters and if so could there not be a limit on the number of characters allowed in the input box with a counter so that the user is aware that there is a limit.

Alistair,
Yes, there is a limit. May I ask why you want to put the script into the region footer or
header? I put the long code into a file on the file system and then reference it from the
page.

Is multi-factor auth required for self-service password reset and portal registration?

Hi, hoping someone can give some clarity on this. I'm dealing with strictly online accounts, no AD sync to local servers. I have enabled and configured self-service password reset in AzureAD. In that config I have required users to register
their alt contact info when logging into the portal. While testing this, I don't get prompted to register unless I've enabled multi-factor auth for the test user account. I need users to register in case they need to use SSPR, but I don't want
to force them into MFA. I've gone over the following article and it says nothing about requiring MFA for SSPR or forced portal registration to work.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn683881.aspx
I know there is a separate link for the registration portal that will guide users through the process, but that's a separate link. Maybe they'll set it up, maybe they won't. I'd like for the first sign-on to be a smooth process that gets them
set up for SSPR if needed. Can someone clarify and point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Hey acook15,
I work on the password reset engineering team. Right now, you are correct, you cannot enforce registration for password reset during first sign in. This is a feature that we are working on right now, which will be available very soon for sign
ins to Azure, your connected apps, and the access panel, and will come a bit later for Office 365 sign ins, as well.
In the interim, you can configure SSPR to require users to register when they access the access panel at myapps.microsoft.com by following the instructions here: http://aka.ms/customizesspr (search for "Require users to register when signing in to the
access panel?").
You can also read more about other ways to get SSPR data in the system for your users here: http://aka.ms/ssprbestpractices. Let me know if this helps, and if you need to get in contact with me, feel free to email me at [email protected]
