Lock AD User Account

Dear All,
Please let me know if there is any method to lock ad user account using JNDI. I tried setting the userAccountControl attribute to 16. It didnt work. I tried setting it again to 512+16. Again it didnt work. Please respond. This is very urgent.
Regards,
Alok

Everything's bloody urgent isn't it ?
Nothing is ever urgent, the sun will set tonight, it will rise tomorrow morning, the world will continue to spin on it's axis irrespective of whether this question gets answered or not.
You can't lock an account programmatically, irrespective of whether using JNDI, ADSI, .NET or even using the native LDAP 'C' API.
The only way to lock an account is if the account lockout policy has been configured (for example 5 failed logon attempts within 5 minutes) and a user has attempted to logon using an incorrect password and exceeded the account lockout threshold.
And via LDAP, the mechanism to determine whether an acount is locked is to compare the value of a users lockoutTime attribute with the domain's accont lockout policy.
You can find some code snippets on http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4266968&tstart=0
What exactly is it that you are trying to do ? If you want to prevent a user from logging on to the system, either disable the account or set the account expiry date.

Domain user is locking his user account- but I cannot figger out why!?

I have a user, the CTO, who recently received a newly imaged workstation/notebook. He is using the same password for the last few password changes (this is between you and I!) but strangely, his user account has been locking on an irregular basis.I took
his machine out of the domain, renamed it and added it back to the domain and it seems to have been working fine for the last two weeks until the user came back from OS, connected to the local network (same domain) and his account started locking again.
I'm at my wits end here and cannot find the problem.
Here's what I've done so far:
* Removed all cached credentials from the workstation- from the browser and from the local computer cache.
* Checked for mapped drives- none found.
Here's what I've found so far:
* When his account locks, LockOutStatus shows his account has locked on the local AD server AD01.
Checking the Security log, I found the following:

As you can see, there's no workstation name, which is strange to me.
I enabled debug logging with Netlogon (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/109626/en-us) but there is no entry for this specific time period.
The local Event Viewer | Security shows a number of failed audits, but nothing which seems to have anything to do with locking the account. Most of these are error 5152 (Filtering Platform Packet Drop), 5156 (Filtering Platform Connection) & 5157 (Filtering
Platform Connection) errors. I can detail these if you need me to, just let me know.
Can anyone suggest what else I can do?

How to increase No. of attempt to Lock user account in DB

Hi,
How to increase the number of attempt [by giving wrong password] to lock the user account in DB Connection?
We have default feature as No. of attempt is 3 by giving wrong password to lock the user account.
Is it possible to increase the no. of times from 3?
Is it possible to find out who is the resource locked the account by giving wrong password?
Kindly give me input on this more.
Thanks.
Orahar.

You can increase the number of failed login attempts: the number of failed login attempts is configured in profile linked to user account http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14266/policies.htm#i1007339. Either you change the current profile or you can create a new one and link it to the user account.
You can retrieve profile linked to user account with:
SQL> select username, profile from dba_users where username='HR';
USERNAME PROFILE

User Account Locking

I know it is possible to set up Plumtree to lock a users account if they try to login with an invalid password and number of times. My question is is it possible to find out through the API how many times a user has left before the account is locked?
Keith Drew

Can't explain, but there are several threads about similiar problems. Mostly there are problems with mail, but the main problem is that logged out users doesn't get disconnected from AFP. Hope the fix comes soon.

Locking User account on Wrong Login Attempts

Version : 7.3.4.x.x
O/s : Digital Unix 4.0g
I want to lock a user account on unsuccessful number on logins (say 3). This is not in tis version of Oracle but is there any back-door to get this done apart from O/S. Authentication.

If you cannot upgrade to Oracle 8, then you might wish to consider auditing your database sessions.
There are a couple of steps to ensure this :-
i) in your database's init.ora file, look for the line "audit_trail = true"
If it's not there, then ask the DBA's to put it in and bounce the database.
ii) get a DBA to execute the SQL statement
AUDIT BY SESSION;
or
AUDIT BY SESSION WHENEVER UNSUCCESSFUL;
The first of these will audit all attempts to create a session on the database.
The first of these will audit all unsuccessful attempts to create a session on the database.
Audit records are then added to the view
SYS.DBA_AUDIT_SESSION
You could look in there for users with a certain number of unsuccessful logins.
And if you find any, then reset their password to "suspended000" or something that only you know. That way, they can't use their passwords any more and have to phone up to get it reset.
it's a roundabout way i know, but i hope it can be of some help

Java SE Ver 7 Uxx locking out domain user account failing Kerberos PreAuth

Java SE Ver 7 all updates are failing Kerberos Pre_Auth and locking domain user accounts because of truncated UDP packets.
When a user opens a page that uses JavaScript their domain account gets a bad password, subsequent openings in the lockout threshold window (5 in 30 minutes for us) results in a domain account lockout.
I have done extensive troubleshooting of this issue and have root caused and been able to prevent it with a less desirable solution. Oracle fixes for the bug below (basically same issue) do not work for me or i'm implementing them incorrectly.
This effects XP\Win7 (32Bit browsers with IE 8 and 9).
Java SE Ver 7 U21 and lesser updates are failing Kerberos Pre_Auth (KRB5KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_FAILED)due to the use of UDP instead of TCP. Starting with the SRV request, UDP exceeds MTU and gets truncated enroute to the KDC. This results in the eventual response from the KDC as bad credential and eventual account lockout if user repeats call for Java.
We have been able to force TCP by blocking UDP 88 on a test station's windows firewall. This prevents the bad password, but injects a delay while kerberos times out UDP and fails to TCP.
Java BUG 8009875 lists the "udp_preference_limit=1" value that forces Java to use TCP, but i can't get this working with a KRB5.config or KRB5.ini file in the c:\windows directory. Even utilizing an environment variable KRB5_CONFIG does not work.
Our expected result is to force Java 7 to use TCP for Kerberos transactions and not UDP. This will be a stop gap until the release of Version 8 next year, which BUG 8009875 says corrects the default UDP call to TCP.

I had this same issue. My fix was to create a custom jass config file that specific to not use the local tgt cache.
If you would like I could provide you with this setup. 1.7 uses GSS/SPNEGO as the first method of auth, this will essentially disable this method of single-sign on.
Http Authentication
GSS/SPNEGO -> Digest -> NTLM -> Basic
It looks like you got a fix so this post could be worthless

ALL user accounts automatically blocked.

Hi All,
I am using Oracle 10g on Windows.
Yesterday all of sudden all my 25 user's accounts were blocked and I am unable to trace the reason.
Can you guys please help me tracing this problem as it had never ever happened with me before.
Thanks

I meant dba_users.account_status = 'LOCKED' by "user accounts were locked".
If this is the case, you might review the user profile to check any constraint
that locks accounts under certain rules.
http://www.psoug.org/reference/profiles.html
If you're meaning that the instance is denying to creat new user session,
you might need to check wait event.

Can I enable the root user account from the log in screen when I am locked out of the machine?

Hello everyone,
I am working on my friends mac to get it ready to sell. I went into the advanced options of the user and changed the name of the account. That's all I changed. I did read the warning that said if anything was changed it could cause damage, that's why I only changed the name of the user account. I didn't want to mess with anything else. Well, needless to say, I am locked out of the machine. Apparently the root user, system administrator, account was not enabled and I am stuck at the screen that I can get to with my installation disc. So how can I enable the root user account and get back onto the machine from the screen I am at? Can I enable the root user from terminal? I spent a good 8 hours yesterday researching this topic and have come up empty. Changing passwords from commands in terminal is not the problem. I am given just one account to choose from to log on and it's not accepting the password because of the changes I made in the advanced options menu.
Is there any hope of getting this thing going again? Or have I just screwed myself over?
Thanks for your help!
Leah

You can reset the password.

Do you need to recover data from it before you sell it? If not you can just wipe the disk and prepare it for sale.

Is there a way to identify user accounts that need to be locked?

Hi,
I am trying to write a script that will lock user accounts for employees that are being outprocessed (e.g. quit, fired, went to a different project). The trouble I'm having is that the way I'm notified is by email from security that a person (first and last name provided in the email) is being outprocessed. However, that individual may have multiple accounts and the account names don't always follow the same format like 'first initial last name'. For example, I may have a user named John Doe with accounts like jdoe_sensor1, jdoe_sensor2, etc. Then there could be a user Alice Smith with account like alice_s_sensor1, alice_s_sensor2, etc. I know I can use OEM to lock users, but there are two main problems with that. 1 -- Finding the users, then clicking on each user and then locking them one by one. And 2 -- I may not need to lock them right away. For example, the email from security may say "Lock all accounts for FIRSTNAME LASTNAME at the end of the day on a certain date. So I was hoping to write a script to identify the accounts, lock the user, and then verify they were locked and run it in cron, so the accounts get locked when they're supposed to. An example of the SQL statements I'm thinking of are:
SELECT username, user_id, account_status FROM dba_users WHERE username like upper ('%$user%');
ALTER user $user ACCOUNT LOCK;
SELECT username, user_id, account_status FROM dba_users WHERE username like upper ('%$user%');
So basically, I need a way to find out what the possible combinations are for $user. Is there a view besides dba_users which has more detailed information like first name and last name? I'm thinking if there is, then I can query that and find out all the accounts that user has and then plug those into the lock script.
Thanks!
Jon

There is a very large problem with being given only a person's name and not their user ids.
For example, if you have two people with same (or similar) name, then what?
John Doe
John J. Doe
This seems to be very common, and even more so with some very common names:
Smith
Chin
etc
So even if you have a lookup table:
Name
Userid
John Doe
johndoe
John Doe
jdoe
John J. Doe
johnd
J. Doe
jdoe2
John D
john_d
Jon Doe
jond
Jim Doe
jidoe
Johnny Doe
jonydoe
Really, nowadays, with different policies, practices, etc, I've seen all manner of userids. When you're given somebody to "close down", you should really press them to provide userids, not just first name, last name.
After all, if they tell you to lock all "John Doe's" accounts, how do you know that the id "johnd" isn't supposed to be locked? or even "jond" ?? You really have no idea. Did security mean "John J. Doe" and didn't provide his initial? What if they both happen to have J middle initial, but once's just registered with the company because the other one existed?
My thought: If you're not given the specific userid(s), you're running a pretty good risk (at some point in time) that you will lock an id you shouldn't, or not lock an id you should.

How to find if an user account is locked in weblogic server or not?

Hi,
I am using jdev 11.1.2.2.
SO i have set in web logic that if a user inputs login information wrongly his account will be locked.
How can i identify if the user account is locked.
Write now if the user account gets locked after say five invalid login attempts and user tries to enter correct login information its throwing exception . But i want to display to the user that his account is locked instead of the exception being thrown . How can i do it ? the following the login code i use
    public String doLogin() {
        LOGGER.log(ADFLogger.TRACE, "Clicked Login Button");
        LOGGER.log(ADFLogger.TRACE, "doLogin() Started.");
        String un = _username;
        byte[] pw = _password.getBytes();
        this.setPassword(null);
        FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)ctx.getExternalContext().getRequest();
        try {
            Subject subject = Authentication.login(new URLCallbackHandler(un, pw));
            weblogic.servlet.security.ServletAuthentication.runAs(subject, request);
            String loginUrl;
            loginUrl = "/faces/home.jsf";
            HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)ctx.getExternalContext().getResponse();
            sendForward(request, response, loginUrl);
        } catch (FailedLoginException fle) {
            FacesMessage msg =
                new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, "Incorrect Username or Password", "An incorrect Username or Password was specified");
            ctx.addMessage(null, msg);

Oracle user account is getting locked frequently

Hi everyone!!!
I am using Oracle 11g on Linux . I have user named "XXX" to whom I have assigned a DEFAULT profile. The Password parameters in DEFAULT profile are as follow.
Resource Name                                      Resource                                 Limit
FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS                    PASSWORD                            20
PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME                        PASSWORD                            UNLIMITED
PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME                      PASSWORD                           UNLIMITED

PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX                   PASSWORD                             UNLIMITED
I don't know why my user is getting locked continuously. Even i haven't reached Failed_login_attempts (20). Each time I require to unlock user account as SYS user and then I can connect as XXX user.
And another thing that I want to know is when user account's status is set to LOCKED, EXPIRED, EXPIRED & LOCKED and LOCKED(TIME).
Thanks & Regards
Tushar Lapani

Hi,
can you tell me the exact db version?
As explained in MOS notes:
DBA_USERS.ACCOUNT_STATUS shows LOCKED after FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS Is Breached (Doc ID 284344.1)
How to Interpret the ACCOUNT_STATUS Column in DBA_USERS (Doc ID 260111.1)
Expected behaviour is:
1. Oracle release is <= 11.1.0.7.
DBA_USERS.ACCOUNT_STATUS = LOCKED(TIMED) whenever the number of failed login attempts is > FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS
2. Oracle release is >= 11.2 and PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME = unlimited:
DBA_USERS.ACCOUNT_STATUS = LOCKED whenever the number of failed login attempts is > FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS
3. Oracle release is >= 11.2 and PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME = <some fix value>
DBA_USERS.ACCOUNT_STATUS = LOCKED(TIMED) whenever the number of failed login attempts is > FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS
Note
that 10.2.0.5 displays the same behavior as 11.2, because the fix that changed the behavior in 11.2 was introduced in 10.2.0.5.
So I suggest you to follow MOS note
Finding the source of failed login attempts. (Doc ID 352389.1)
to find who locked the account.

With Cisco Secure ACS 4.2 User accounts gets locked at first instance of wrong credentials even if configured for 3 attempts

Hello Everybody,
I am working with Cisco Secure ACS 4.2 and it is integrated with Active Directory at a Windows 2008 R2 functional level, user accounts that are set with lockout parameters (3 incorrect attempts) are locked out prematurely after the user enters the wrong credentials just once, the integration is done via LDAP.
I wonder if anybody has any idea why this is happening, because when I connect to a Cisco device or VPN, and type my password wrongly, on the Active Directory I get extra bad password counts.
Thanks in advance and regards....

Hello Scott,
Thanks for your answer. However we checked the ACS logs and it shows that we entered bad credentials just once, but in the Active Directory our account sometimes is blocked because we get at least 2 and sometimes 3 failures. This problem is only presented when we authenticate Cisco devices or through VPN, in normal circumstances, when users enter bad credentials on their computers, it works fine.
Thanks and regards...
