Locking user account

Hi,
I have to questions:
1. Is there anyway to lock user account in OBIEE 11g?
2. Can i disable "Create New>" menu in analytics?

We ran into that ourselves, courtesy of our <SARCASM>friends</SARCASM> Sarbanes and Oxley. Based on our research and statements from Sun engineers, the only ways to do it in Solaris 9 are:
* Write a PAM module to do it
* Log all failed attempts to a file and have a process scan it for successive login failures
* Go to something like Directory Server (LDAP) which has account lockouts built into it
We decided to go with the last option - and yours truly was responsible for doing everything. Two months of hell, but it's done and much easier to manage than files or NIS.

Value to be populated in oblastloginattemptdate while locking user account?

Hi,
I am writing a custom JAVA module for forgot password where in i am locking user account if the user fails to answer correctly to his challenegd questions.
I am populating oblogintrycount and oblockouttime.
Can anyone tell me what value should be populated to oblastloginattemptdate?
The LDAP shows the value something as "2009-03-16T09:52:57-05:00".
Please let me know if anyone has any information on the same.
Regards,
Anubha

Hope I have got your question correct.
I beleive, you need to update the lastloginattemptdate with the time when user tried to login whether successful or unsuccessful.
Just update it with the time you are locking out the user. Date format is like "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mi:ss[+/-]hh:mi"
[+/-]hh:mi is the time relative to GMT.

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

How to find the Locked User Account in OBIEE Admin Console

We have recently implemented OBIEE and we are in Learning mode. An user complained that his user account is locked, since he tried to login several times with wrong password. Apparently we unlocked his account successfully. Is there any way to find which user accounts are locked? This may be really helpful for
Thanks in advance.

Looks like using wlst code can get the list
Check this

Programmatically locking user account in OID Jdev 11gR1

Hi All ,
Using Jdev 11.1.1.6
Does anyone know an API using which we can lock a user's account in OID ?
Though there is a way in which we can unlock the account programmatically -
    public void unlockAccount(User user) throws IMException {
        UserProfile usrprofile = user.getUserProfile();
        ModProperty mprop = new ModProperty("orclpwdaccountunlock",
           "1",
           ModProperty.ADD);
        usrprofile.setProperty(mprop);
    }But as rightly pointed out in the below thread , passing the property orclpwdaccountunlock as 0 (assuming it would have locked the account )is not allowed.
https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=10698930
Error -
[LDAP: error code 53 - Account Policy Error :9051: GSL_ACCOUNTUNLOCK_EXCP :Invalid value specified for orclpwdaccountunlock attribute.
The only allowed value is 1];

I want to lock my account as we are doing a custom implementation wherein the account should get locked once a user enters incorrect asnwers to Challenge Questions more than a given number of times.
Will the disabling of the account help this case ?
Also can you please throw more light on oblockouttime property ?
As far as I found out it is specific to OAM - Unlock user in OID through JNDI code

Lock user account

I have create an user account and I need to lock this account automatically by August 1. how can i do it?
thanks a lot

Create an Sql script like this :
alter user <username> account lock;
exit
and a batch file which executes it using SqlPlus : this one depends on your OS. The following is for Linux :
. $HOME/.bash_profile
export ORACLE_SID=<YOUR DB>
sqlplus -s "/ as sysdba" @<your Sql script>
Schedule it on midnight, August 1 using your scheduler (AT or cron, or anything else).

Windows 10 Locked User Account

That is most curious! I'll give that a try and see if that fixes it for me. This would be kind of a pain to do for end-users if this is some sort of bug especially since I don't like knowing their passwords to set it back for them and making everyone change their passwords after the upgrade could be received poorly.

Upgraded to Windows 10 on the work machine yesterday and it went off without a hitch. However, I did notice after a reboot and log in attempt yesterday that my user account became suddenly locked on the domain controller. I also noticed this morning that in an attempt to log in (my computer was not shutdown - I left it on all night in a locked state), that my account became, again, locked out. It's easily remedied by logging in as the domain admin, logging into our DC and unlocking my account, but I'm concerned about the potential of this being a recurring problem that could affect many users should we decide at some point to roll it out. Has anyone else been having this problem?

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

Locked User Account

Hi,
I have Windows 2012 R2 DC which has all the FSMO roles, also I still have Windows 2008 R2 DC and Windows 2003 DC. I am just wondering that every time a user is locked out I can't this right away in my Windows 2012 DC but rather I have to unlock via the Windows
2003 DC. Is there any explanation to this? Can the behavior be changed?
Thanks
Pete

After the "Unlock Account.", it will tell you that it has been locked out.

Locking user account picture

My school has a roomful of the new iMacs with the built-in camera. We recently upgraded them from OS X 10.4 to 10.5. Using the camera and programs such as PhotoBooth, the students were able to change the picture for their account on the main login screen (there is one login to the computer for all users). This is not a serious matter, but a distraction and a nuisance. We used to prevent them doing this with the following procedure: when logged in as root, open NetInfo Manager, click padlock to authenticate, select /users/username, under Property choose writerspicture and change the Value to root. After some searching, I found the file which contains the settings made. It is /private/var/db/netinfo/local.nidb/Store.1056 .
Mac OS X 10.5 does not include NetInfo Manager, and the file mentioned does not exist.
Does anyone know how to do the same in 10.5 as we had been able to do in 10.4 - preferably with a GUI-based application rather than with command-line applications. Also, is there a similar file to the one mentioned which contains the appropriate settings?
Message was edited by: Steven Jones

With the elimination of "NetInfo" and associated applications in "Leopard", everything has been moved over to "DirectoryService". There is also what appears to be a new set of properties - it might be some sort of cache of the user picture stored directly in the account record...
Anyway, the equivalent changes can be made from the command line using 'dscl'. For example, while logged in to an "admin" account, try opening "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and entering the commands with the following form:<pre>sudo /usr/bin/dscl . -change /users/username writerspicture username root
sudo /usr/bin/dscl . -change /users/username writersjpegphoto username root</pre>
Alternatively, the accounts can be configured using "Workgroup Manager.app", included with the "Server Admin Tools" which can be downloaded from Apple:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/serveradmintools105.html
The relevant keys are under the "Inspector" tab.
The third option is to edit the user records directly. I'm not sure if this is a legitimate way to make these types of changes, but it does appear to work. The user records can be found in "/private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/"

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.

Missing User Account

So today I was a little to quick to type in my password to my normal admin user account and I was forced to enter my master password in order to unlock the now locked user account. I opted out of entering my master password by cancelling out of the action, hoping that I would be able to just re-enter my password to my normal admin user account, albeit slower. Instead, I was greeted with a user name promtp and a password prompt. I then typed the normal user account name and the password but it didn't work. I backed out, restarted and then the screen came back to the login. This time, instead of the user name/password prompt, it had a user icon that said "Other..." I click on it and it comes back to the user name/password prompt.
So, I booted from the OS disc, reset the 'root' password and logged in as root. Under the root account, I was able to check the home directory of my normal admin user account, which was still there, but under the preferences / accounts settings the normal user account I always used was missing!!!
***? Anyone know what I did? I'm going to just do a system restore, which will clear the problem I'm sure.

See the other threads on the same topic.
The cure for me was to insert the Snow Leopard installation disk. Don't reinstall - but use the menu tool "change password" to set a password for the "root" user. You can then log in at the "Other" prompt using root + your new password.
Once inside, you can recreate all your old accounts. If you use the same names as before, the Mac will offer you the chance to associate the username with all the existing data for that account name.
I was able to restore everything with no loss of info, and no OS reinstallation.

Locked user tab on portal

Hi All,

User Management Exception
An exception occurred. Inform your system administrator.
Suggested Options
Look at the log file for the cause of the error
can anybody help me its very urgent.........
Thanks in advance..........

Hi,
You either have DB inconsistencies, or you are on SP14.
There was a problem with SP14 for the empty lock reason with locked user accounts. If on SP 14, it is best to upgrade. You can also run the UME consistency check tool in order to remove any inconsistencies which might cause this problem.
