Log of password changes

Hello!
We are running SAP ERP system on MaxDB 7.8.02.034.
For some days we are detecting that all the password of database users such as control, superdba and sap<sid> have been changed.
Questions:
1) Is the any possibilities to see when and by whom these changes were made?
2) What is the easiest way to turn back all the password changes?
Many thanks!

You could consider setting up auditing.

    Sir i want to change my apple log in password but forget my security question

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Remote Desktop Crashes When trying to log-in after changing password on the remote computer

    Hi.
    I use cisco VPN to connect to my work computer.
    I can use RDC to connect to any computer on home network without issue. 
    Yesterday I changed to password on my work computer and now every time I try to log from my home computer RDC crashes.
    I've disabled printing/clipboard on local devices and resourses, and I've deleted all the RDC cache files on the computer but I continue to have the same issues.

    Hi hg,
    I didn’t found relevant settings in remote desktop connection manager, I checked the “Use multiple monitors when necessary” under tools->options, but seems like it is used for span a full screen over multiple monitors. For now I’d suggest figuring out
    why your remote session keeps crushing.
    I suspect the crash is not related to password changing, similar cases normally occurs after some local device driver, please try to disable the local printer in Remote desktop connection local resources first.

  • How to change log in password

    i don't remember creating a log in password. I know my security password for the screen saver and my apple id... but it doesn't give me an option for even a hint or to use my apple id to bypass. All I'm trying to do is download netflix. So annoying....

    Check your account at https://appleid.apple.com. Go into Password and Security, answer your security questions and then you can chenge your password. Also, if this dosen't work, try calling up Apple Support. They readily fix such issues.

  • ACS 5.3 UCP Password Change

    Hi at all,
    i have a Problem with the UCP Webside Password Change.
    The Side is running without Problem. A Password Change for the normal User is also o.k.
    Here me Problem.
    I will use this Side also for our Admins to Change here Password but this User has also a Enable Password.
    Is it Possible to Change also this Password with the UCP Webside?
    Thanks for help.
    regards
    Andreas

    Hey Tushar,
    That is our current setup. Right now each user logs in with their AD credentials to get into user exec mode and the same password to get into privileged exec mode. I would like to have a user login with their normal AD credentials to get into user exec mode and a different password (specific to each user, not locally on the device) to login to privileged exec mode. We are doing this for security reasons. Hopefully that clarifys what I'm trying to do.
    Thanks

  • Database password change

    Hello,
    Can someone point me in the right direction in regards to changing the OIM database password on 9.1.0.2?
    We recently changed the password and I updated the xlconfig.xml file and updated two XML files located in the project domain using the method described in the below article:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81/admin_ref/utils17.html
    I copied the output generated and edited the <password-encrypted> node in the XML files.
    We are running WebLogic 10.3.3, on 10g database, 9.1.0.2 BP14 installed.
    OIM starts up though we get a System Error message but a refresh brings up the login page. After attempting to login the following error is recorded in our log files:
    ERROR,14 Feb 2012 08:49:45,138,[XELLERATE.WEBAPP],Class/Method: tcLogonAction/execute encounter some problems: Error occurred during login - Exeption Code: DB_READ_FAILED
    Thor.API.Exceptions.tcAPIException: Error occurred during login - Exeption Code: DB_READ_FAILED
    I presume it has to do with the password change but I have changed every file that I am aware of. Have I missed a step or missed a file? Is there a preferred way to change the database password within WebLogic? The UI doesn't allow it due to the encryption and I don't want to turn that off to clear text.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    To change the database password, there are only a couple spots to update.
    Within WebLogic, you'll want to update your JDBC resources with the new password on your two connections listed.
    Then as you mentioned in the xlconfig.xml file, you'll find the sections for the DirectDB. Where the password is at, set the encrypted=false and provide the literal of your new password. Now when OIM starts, it will re-encrypt the xlconfig.xml file, so you can delete the one with plain text.

  • How to implement Force password change during authentication

    Description of problem
    Our client requires web applications to support its internal security policy beyond
    normal authentication. This includes:
    - force password change periodically. This should be performed at logon time.
    - maintain password history so that a new password would not repeat any of its
    previous 15 changes.
    We already have an authentication server that satisfy these requirements. However,
    we would also like to base our solution on WebLogic security framework so that
    we can leverage the benefit of the container-managed declarative security (e.g.
    we don't need to use our special cookie to check whether a user is authenticated
    for every web page in the application). So the best scenario for us is to wrap
    up this authentication server using WLS 7.0 authentication SSPI.
    My initial investigation of WLS 7.0 security framework (based on edocs and the
    sample customer security provider codes) convinced me that overall, this is achievable.
    However, I am still left with quite a few questions, which I would like to get
    your help.
    Questions:
    1. (web container) The J2EE-standard container-based authentication is to specify
    <login-config> element. My understanding is that only FORM based authentication
    is applicable. The specified form elements:
    <form method="post" action="j_security_check">
    <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="j_username">
    <INPUT TYPE= "password" NAME="j_password">
    </form>
    is adequate for authentication. However, if the authentication service provider
    indicates that password change is needed, what would be the most appropriate way
    within WebLogic for the authentication service provider to pass such a flag to
    the web container know so that our application can access it? I guess, a simpler
    question, would be, using the standard <login-config>, webapp knows only about
    authentication fails or succeeds. Can it possibly know more information provided
    by the authentication service provider right after authentication?
    2) If we don't use standard FORM-based authentication, we will code up our own
    authentication control, which could give us a lot more flexibility, but can we
    then bind our Subject obtained through our authentication control to the WebLogic
    Subject that is running the webapp.
    3) (Authentication service provider) Our design is for the custom LoginModule
    to delegate login calls to the authentication server, and throws more refined
    exceptions such as: FailedLoginException, PasswordExpiredException, UserAccountLockedException
    (all subclassed from LoginException). Another approach is to provide detailed
    information such as password expired in callbacks. Either way, when Authentication
    service provider returns, how our web application can access this refined flag
    of authentication result.
    4) Can our customer authentication service provider use DataSource defined in
    a weblogic server? I ask this question because DataSource itself is a protected
    resource of WebLogic. Will referencing it during authentication initiate another
    authentication cycle?
    Can anyone who has experienced similar requirements and worked solutions please
    give me a hint? I appreciate your guidance.
    regards

    I believe it's impractical to fit the requirement of forcing a password change
    into the standard JAAS interface.
    I think the only practical way to do this is to implement a servlet filter that
    reads the persistent record of the logged-in user to check for a "force change
    password flag". If it finds this, the servlet filter will forward to a page to
    change your password. Note that the servlet filter may be hit again when
    trying to get to the change password page, so it needs to know to not do the
    check in that case.
    If you implement this, I would strongly urge you to softcode the "change
    password" page URL in your system configuration, and not hardcode it in the
    servlet filter.

  • Skype account crash after password changing

    Hello,
    in the morning I checked which of my devices are connected to the same Skype ID and I saw about 3 devices with showplaces. I typed /remotelogout and changed my password. The problem is that after the password changing proccess my Skype Account was blocked even with the new password after a PC Restart. This is another account of mine.
    Now, I can't access my account(the system says that the password or username may be inccorect, which is not true), nor change that password to gain my access back because I have forgotten my e-mail(and log in dates) of that Skype account. What should I do?
    If necessary to check the stuck Skype ID, I will give to an Administrator via PM, the new password, the old one and the ID.
    Thanks in advance!

    You will need the original email account to restore your password. If not the only way you can restore it is by contacting customer support:
    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1170/how-can-i-​contact-skype-customer-service?q=support
    You can allways try to reset your Skype:
    Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
    Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
    Restart Skype.
    N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

  • Service account password change

    Hi.
    we have ADFS 3.0 ( 1 server, not a farm ) with groupmanaged service account. All Works fine. Now - i see on DC,  on one moment that password for this object has been changed.
    Description:
    An attempt was made to reset an
    account's password. Subject: Security ID: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Account Name:

    . And about ~40 min later login via ADFS to third party saas stopped to work.
    In security log on ADFS server following events started to show up.
    An account failed to log on.
    Subject:
    Security ID:  DOMAIN\First_gMSA$

  • Initial password change.. Urgent Please?

    Hi All,
        We have an Ep6.0 SP12 installation and CUA as user base for the portal. In the CUA, I added the role SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNIATION for user sapjsf and the xml file used is dataSourceConfiguration_r3_rw.xml.
       now i create a user using portal, i.e. UserAdmin -> create user and am logging in with this userid and password. In the next screen it asks for new password. IT works as expected and thats fine.
      but, if I create a user in CUA and when I login into portal with this userid and password. It doesnt ask for password change. Y is it so?
    Please help me in this regard.
    Thank you

    Still some more input, i just went and checked the account history in portal of the two users, created through portal and also in CUA
    The user created in CUA has the folling history
    Date                          Description
    Not Available                 New account created
    - Dec 31, 2500 12:00:00 AM   Account Valid Date
    Aug 30, 2005 8:04:45 PM Last  Successful Logon
    Dec 31, 9999 12:00:00 AM Last Password Change
    please see the last password change field, is it restricting me to change the password ?
    where as the user created from Portal has the following account history
    Date                       Description
    Aug 30, 2005 6:50:17 PM    New account created
    Aug 30, 2005 12:00:00 AM - Dec 31, 2500 12:00:00 AM   Account Valid Date
    Aug 30, 2005 6:53:53 PM     Last Failed Logon
    Aug 30, 2005 6:50:17 PM     Last Password Change
    as we see the last password change field here, it is pretty much the same as new account created date, so the password is getting expired.
    Could you please have a look at SAP NOTE "858469"
    Could some one please help me in this regard?
    Thank you

  • Disable AD user after first successful login (after password change) after x amount of days regardless of activity

    I've been searching for over a week high and low now trying to find a way to do this via PS.
    We'd like to lockout certain users (we can put them in a group/OU) 30 days after their first successful log in - the one requiring
    password change by them.
    And we'd like to disable it REGARDLESS of their activity.
    All the tips and scripts I've found look for 'inactivity', date created etc.
    Only parameters I need are 30 days AFTER the first log in. Accounts might be created 60 days before actual use, but still need to be disabled 30 days after their first successful log in.
    Any tips would be GREATLY appreciated!

    I don't think you're going to get the kind of solution you want via scripting. As jrv noted, usually this kind of issue is managed by using account expiration and password expiration. If that won't work for you, then I would recommend looking into supported
    third party tools that can help you get where you need to go.
    -- Bill Stewart [Bill_Stewart]
    As Bill points out you  need to look into third party tools.  If there is any legitimate legal or industry need for this then there wil be third party tools.  Having worked in medical software systems \I can tell you there is not. There are
    old systems that use now-obsolete mechanisms that do things similar to what you are asking.  They are no longer usable.
    I think if you sat down with those asking you to do this and had them get the actual industry and government rules on the table you would see that this is not what they are asking you to do.  It aslo doesn't make much sense from a technical standpoint.
    Just set the password expiration.  That is what it is designed for. To force reauth just set the account so the user cannot set the password.  Use the reauth web page to allow the user to set a new password.  Use the corporate disclaimer
    or a desktop link to notify users what to do when the password expires.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    because of the changes done by me in config tool, the username / password combination is not considered by the system properly i think. Anyways not sure what went on wrong ?
    Any idea ?

    If so , then how do i do it at database level .
    Also today i noticed the simillar problem in SDN.but solution is not provided there
    Changed password of SAPJ2EDB user, cannot start WAS 6.40 anymore
    When i search sap.dom fo the same ( as per the above thread says ) , i could see few relevant documents(http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/cd/14c93ec2f7df6ae10000000a114084/frameset.htm ) , but not able to follow the instructions. because i couldnt able to open the visual admin to create new user or group .

    Hi,
    i have changed my MAXDB user(SAPJ2EDB) password in config tool in secure store node (parameter: jdbc/pool/J2E/Password). After the password changes, when i re-started the server, my J2E instance is not started running. The jcontrol.exe file is stopped with the following trace log

    Hi,
    You changed the password in J2EE instance , however maybe the change didn't go thru into the Database.
    You need to change the database password, check this link
