Login Properties

When I right click on one repository, there is nothing dispalyed. It means that I can not use Login function in which I can do some configuration. Could anyone tell me why it is happened. My MDM Edition is MDM 5.5 SP04.

Hi Alfred,
You aware of that the Logins table is an MDM system table.
The Logins table shows the login details of the login user such as
Name: Name of the user (Admin)
Host Name: MDM Server Name (pc05X04)
Application name: DataManager/Import Manager
Login Time: User Login time
Last activity time: Time of last activity like add, delete records
Load a repository; Open the data manager for the loaded repository. Check the logins table in the console. You will get a clear idea.
The table is read only since there is no business need to edit the login details.
Thanks,

JCo login properties

Hi all,
I have coded a Java JCO call from Java to Abap in XI 3.0.
The logon details have been stored in a properties file so it can be changed in the different environments.
I have two questions:
1. Is this the best way to manage the changing details between DEV, TEST, and PROD?
2. If so, how can I protect the password? It is exposed at the OS level for anyone who has access.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

Hello Jason, In my opinion, if you are doing the mappings with JAVA, the best design should be to get the system information from SLD via an SLD client in this way you only need to maintain the data in sld. You have in your class the receiver constant that you can use to get the receiver system information. This information you configure in the integration directory and is available at runtime.
If you are making the mapping in a user defined function then one possibility is to use a lookup table and in that lookup table you may put your logon information in as value/key table.
To logon in the BS I thought that the guideline was to use XIAPPLUSER as the username.

JCo Connection using file.properties doesn't work when deployed

Hello Experts,
I'm trying to connect to a SAP backend system using the JCo connection.
I've tyed with the standard connection, crating dinamically the connection and it works fine:
mConnection = JCO.createClient("001", // SAP client
"sap.user", // userid
"********", // password
"IT", // language
"ashost.domain.dom", // application server host name
"06"); // system number
mConnection.connect();
Then I tryed to store the login data in a file 'login.properties' put in the same package of my connection classes.
The code is:
String[] logonStr = new String[5];
Properties properties = new Properties();
try {
InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("login.properties");
properties.load(is);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
logonStr[0] = PropertyManager.getProperty(applicationProperties,"jco.client.client");
logonStr[1] = PropertyManager.getProperty(applicationProperties,"jco.client.user");
logonStr[2] = PropertyManager.getProperty(applicationProperties,"jco.client.passwd");
logonStr[3] = PropertyManager.getProperty(applicationProperties,"jco.client.ashost");
logonStr[4] = PropertyManager.getProperty(applicationProperties,"jco.client.sysnr");
mConnection = JCO.createClient(logonStr[0],      // SAP client
logonStr[1],    // userid
logonStr[2],    // password
"IT",           // language
logonStr[3],    // application server host name
logonStr[4]);   // system number
If I test locally this code it works fine and the login datas are extracted from the 'login.properties' file.
But when I deploy my PAR file in the Portal seems that the 'login.properties' file isn't found by my application...
Which could be the cause??
Could it be a permission problem??
Any Ideas?
Thanks in Advance,
Best Regards

Hi Shyam,
Thanks for your answer!
I could use the string "ashost.domain.dom" instead to extract it from the 'login.properties' but I need also the others login info as username and password.
My problem is that the 'login.properties' file is not found by my application when the PAR file is deployed in the portal...
I need to know if I need to move the 'login.properties' file in another package or something else...
Any ideas??
Have I to declare the .properties file in some configuration file (for example portalapp.xml or somthing similar..) ??
Best Regards...

Desktop login smartcard on SunRay 170

Hello all!,
I'm having trouble to set up the login by smartcard on my sunray170 terminals (connected to a sunfire server).
The behavior I want is that the sunray asks the user for a smartcard, this smartcard has installed the java authentication applet where is stored a valid user and password, when the user inserts it I want the welcome screen to ask for the PIN only and then authenticate.
I've done this on a sunblade1500 following the Solaris SmartCard Admin guide and on the blade works perfect, but in the rays it just doesn't work.
I've tried to change the policies (utpolicy) to accept only card users but when a user insert a card (whose token has been previously registered on the system) it goes to a standard solaris login screen, no user is readed from the smartcard:
Anyone knows how to do this? Please?
I really appreciate your help thanks!

I understand, my device is turned on in utdevadm and I've turned of smartcards on utpolicy, but how I change login properties? Like I've said before, I've done the same steps I did on the sunblades and it doesn't work, I want the beautiful screen on the sunray saying "please insert your smartcard", and the the data being read from the card but I cannot accomplish this the same way than on the blades, how can I do it?
I've also tried doing:
http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/Personalizing_Smart_Cards_for_use_with_the_Sun_Ray_Ultra_Thin_Terminals
but with no success, any ideas?
I really appreciate your time!

Gateway FX and Blue Screen of Death

Computer:
Gateway FX 7024
GeForce 8800GT 512 mb
Problem:
I've had the computer for 1 1/2 years with very few problems. Recently, the screen will lock up solid and be illegible with "static" lines all the way down the monitor. Sometimes before the screen locks up, it will flip to the blue screen of death, say it's dumping physical memory, and then lock up. Only thing I can do is restart, but it will do it again at random lengths of time. Happens more while I'm playing games than anything else. Sounds to me like the graphics card has gone Tango Uniform, but a computer guru, I am not. Any ideas?
What I've done so far:
I have checked for updated drivers and installed them.... no fix. I rolled back the drivers.... no fix. I have visually checked fans on power supply and graphics card to make sure they are working and they are fine. The fan on the motherboard spins, but doesn't appear to be moving overly fast. I checked BIOS and everything looks around what it should be for temp settings. In the "problems and solutions" application, it shows a video hardware error.
The only thing i did notice was there is only a 400W power supply installed and from the posts I've read, the 8800GT graphics card should have a 700-900W power supply. However... I've never had problems with it before. Could this cause the problem after 1 1/2 years?
help... i'm shaking from game withdrawals

Visited a company IT department today and an engineer looked at the AT&T Net Client settings. It now works - this may have been the "fix" for those in a similar predicament (all in the AT&T Net Client):
1. Click "Settings".
2. Click "Show the login properties window".
3. Click "Configure".
4. Click "Next".
5. Select the "Both the internet and my company's intranet" radio button.
6. Select "Managed VPN - SSL DualAccess" from the dropdown.
7. Click "Finish".
Cheers,

Failed to Open the Connection in InfoView

Hello,
I have been unable to get Crystal Reports to run on InfoView using a third database. I have successfully added and run reports on InfoView which use two other databases, and I cannot figure out why reports using the third database will not run. The database is called NetRMS and is a Motorola product. When I add a report to a folder in the Central Management Console and attempt to preview the report, I receive the message, u2018Failed to Open the Connection. Unable to Retrieve Objectu2019. The User Name and Password that I am using DOES allow me to access that database and preview reports from the Crystal Reports program, and to run queries in the SQL Server Management Studio.
The Login Properties in SQL for the login I am using are set to 'Grant Permission' to connect to the database engine, and the Database Source properties in the Crystal Report match those in the database I am trying to connect to.
I am at an impasse with this and will Greatly appreciate any help you can give me.
Thank you, Linda

How are you trying to connect tot he database, ODBC? Perhaps you need to define the DSN on the InfoView server using Start -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources (ODBC)...
HTH,
Carl

Sa's password in SQL Server 2008 R2 Express

Hi,
In the SQL Server 2005 Express I can chose the expert mode during the installation. This enables me to set the password of the user “sa”.
Now I tried to install SQL Server 2008 R2 Express but I had no possibility to change / set the password of the user “sa”.
I read in the internet that the default-password of the user “sa” should be a blank password. Since in SQL Server 2008 R2 Express there was no way to set / change “sa”’s password I tried to login with a blank password. But this
also didn’t worked.
So my questions are:
1.    Where during the SQL Server 2008 R2 Express setup can I set / change the “sa”’s password.
2.    Where in the SQL Server 2008 R2 Express can I set / change the “sa”’s password after the installation.
3.    What’s the default password of “sa” in SQL Server 2008 R2 Express?
4.    Why a blank password for the unmodified “sa” account didn’t worked?
Thank in advance for all your helpful answers.

I am not sure whether you found a solution for sa password reset in 2k8 express. May be useful to others.
Steps to reset the password:
1. Go to SQL Server Properties/Security tab and change the mode to SQL Server authentication mode
2. Go to security/logins, open SA login properties
a. Uncheck "Enforce password policy" and "Enforce password expiration" check box there if you decide
to use weak password
b. Assign password to SA user
3. In SQL 2k8, we may get the following error when we reset the password,
"Cannot set a credential for principal 'sa' . (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15535)"
Resolution:
but this can be fixed by selecting the "Map To Credential" check box on the General tab of the Login
Properties - sa dialog box.
4. You may get the following error after above step,
“User is not associated with a trusted sql server connection"
Resolution:
In SQL Server Management Studio, Right-click the Server name, select Properties > Security
Under Server Authentication, select SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode
The server must be stopped and re-started before this will take effect.
5. Make sure the sa (at status tab of sa properties) is enabled after restart the server.
It works =)!!!!!!!!! Thanks man =)

I added the sapservice and sidadm accounts in the login properties for the respective databases for some reason those users did not have access rights to the DB.
Strange! windows thing I guess!
Anyhow. I solved it. thanks for your help.

Serious problem after migration assistant - any ideas?

Hi folks-
I bought an iMac this weekend and for various reasons did not configure with data from my MacBook Pro when I first turned it on, but waited until two nights ago to use Migration Assistant to transfer all but users.
I updates both machines fully with Software Update first. MigAsst went fine until I hit the begin option and after a few minutes the iMac told me there was a problem with my MacBook Pro (MBP). I quit MigAsst on the iMac but even after an hour I couldn't escape it or quit the MBP, so shut down using the power button.
When I restarted, I had a black screen with lighted keyboard and startup chime. I hard-restarted, same thing happened. Third time, I got the grey apple window with no apple for about ten minutes, then a light blue screen with the spinning spokes (not the rainbow) and a slightly darker window with no spokes. The two blue windows alternated back and forth for maybe 8-10 seconds each endlessly until I restarted.
Since I live about 4 hours from the nearest Apple store and tech support was already closed for the evening, I restarted from the Snow Leopard disk and repaired permissions (there were many repairs) and repaired the disk (was told it was fine). I restarted and got the grey-blue-blue cycle again.
I reinstalled the OS from the Snow Leopard disk and everything worked fine - I ran as many tests as I know how to, even perturbed the casing slightly wondering if it was a loose video card wire or something. Nothing. It all worked fine for several hours until after the second Software Update (which as I recall was only Java and iTunes), and now all I get is the black screen again. Also, now the green light on the power cable is not glowing even though the battery reads as fully charged and the keyboard and startup chime are all hunky dory.
I'd think it was a video card issue, but there are too many incongruous symptoms. If I could at least start up from the OS disk again I could get my data off... Any ideas, diagnoses or suggestions would be much appreciated.
With gratitude and blessings.

The problem is described in a different post as well, and it is considered to be answered. However, the answers are not very satisfactory because they are complicated.
The underlying problem is that MacOS is looking for a FileVault user, while after migration the user files are actually not within a FileVault bundle.
I believe that there must be a setting to change the login properties for the user to not look for a FileVault user, but for a plain, non-encrypted user. So please, somebody from Apple answer this questions!
Command line very welcome, because I only have a command line user right now. And oh, my MBA didn't ship with a boot DVD so I don't even have the chance to reinstall my system easily. Also, getting my data out of the FileVault on my current machine, transfering everything again (almost 250 GB) and then putting them back into FileVault seems a bit too much effort for what appears to be a simple bit set somewhere…

Cannot edit pwd.tmp file Installing IDM 7.1 database on Win2k8 - MSSQL 2005

Hi there,
I am installing IDM 7.1 on a virtual Windows 2008 Server, MS SQL 2005.
I am stuck at a very early stage in the Installing-SQL-database guide; I have tested the database
connection successfully, using the mxmc-test.cmd script. I am failing on the next step, running the
mxmc-install.cmd.
There are two different errors, both with the final message "echo was unexpected at this time".
The first error skips past the password prompt for users sa, mxmc_oper and confirm password
for mcmx_oper, shows the error message and then returns me to the command prompt.
Once I added my logged-in user [SID]adm as "mapped to the Database" in the
MS SQL Management Console > Login Properties > User Mapping, I got a new variation
on the above message.
The second message again skips past the sa user password prompt, but then
displays additional text:
E:\IDM\51035967\DATA_UNITS\IC_DESIGNTIME_71\Database\SQL-Server\mxmc-install
***Install an Identity Center database mxmc_db
***This command will install a new Identity Centre database.
***To continue press Enter, otherwise CTRL-C
Press an key to continue . . .
Enter password for user sa:
Access is denied.
E:\IDM\51035967\DATA_UNITS\IC_DESIGNTIME_71\Database\SQL-Server\pwd.tmp
Access is denied.
Enter password for mxmc_oper:
Access is denied.
Confirm password for mxmc_oper:
Access is denied.
echo was unexpected at this time.
I have previously enabled the sa user, and reset its password to be the installation
master password. I first tried with domain\[SID]adm , then localmachine\[SID]adm, then
with Domain\Administrator, and lastly with local machine\Administrator
Whan I manually add some text to pwd.tmp, I am not allowed to save the file, as
either [sid]adm. As administrator I am able to save the file.
When I run the script as either Administrator I get the first error.
With either [sid]adm user I get the second error.
So it appears to be Windows 2008 Server file security, for my [sid]adm users.
They are both in the Administrators group for the local machine,
and the E:\ has full access for Administrators group.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,
Andy Minshull

I have solved this issue; there are two parts to the solution;
1: Write Permission to pwd.tmp
Although the installation cd folder had already been copied from the host to the VM guest, copying the folder to a new name resolved the issues with the file security. Not sure why exactly, but once done, SIDADM is able to edit pwd.tmp manually, as well as via the script.
2: Alternative Install Script.
We were greatly helped [by this SDN post|Re: identity center install problem: "echo unexspected at this time";, 4th reply:
(I'm installing on a virtual machine)....
Then I tried mxmc-xinstall with given prefixes. That worked for me.
On inspection of the mxmc-install script, it sets the necessary variables, based on some user input, then passes the values to the script mxmc-xinstall. Running mxmc-xinstall with no switches shows the prefixes required. Also, the mxmc-xinstall script is outlined in the Install guide, under section "Installing the Identity Center database with a given prefix", since it provides the opportunity to choose a prefix other than the standard "mxmc".
These two actions have solved my problem. So, based on the fact that Karsten had the same problem, on the same OS and on a VM, I guess it is safe to assume that this is a bug specific to using Win2k8 on VMware. Our VMWare version is Server 2.
All the best,
Andy

Problem in Moving Files Locally after FTP

I am being stuck in the middle of my application development. What simple I need to do is to get all the files from location and put them all on FTP site. After doing FTP I need to put these files locally to other flder.
I am done with FTP site files move to the client FTP site successfully but after that when I try to move files to local directory It idnt move and "renameTo" function returns me false.I also listing my code below.
ToFTPFiles function FTP the files and MoveFiles function wil simply move the files to the local directory.
Adding one more thing If there are 6 files it move some time two files and some time 3 but not all always.But If I simple call MoveFiles function without ToFTPfiles it moves all files successfully.
public void ToFTPFiles(){
                    Logger.log(Level.INFO,"FTP CLass Called"+"\n");
                    FTPClient client = new FTPClient();
                  FileInputStream MovedFilePath=null;
                  File f =null;
                  try {
                      client.connect(Properties.FTPServer);
                      if (!client.login(Properties.FTPUserName, Properties.FTPPassword))
                           Logger.log(Level.INFO,"=====Unable to log into FTp Site======="+"\n");
                      else
                           Logger.log(Level.INFO,"=====Successfully Log in======="+"\n");
                      client.setFileType(client.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
                      client.enterLocalPassiveMode();
                      f = new File(Properties.PathOfFiles);
                      String[]FilesToBeMoved = f.list();
                      for (int i=0;i<FilesToBeMoved.length;i++)
                           MovedFilePath=new FileInputStream(new File(f.getPath()+"\\"+FilesToBeMoved));
               boolean retValue= client.storeFile(FilesToBeMoved[i],MovedFilePath);
               if (!retValue){
                    Logger.log(Level.INFO,"==File=="+FilesToBeMoved[i]+"Is not able to FTP"+"\n");
          } catch (IOException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();

               MovedFilePath.close();
          client.disconnect();
          if (!client.isConnected())
               Logger.log(Level.INFO,"=======Not Connected==============="+"\n");
          else
               Logger.log(Level.INFO,"=======Connected==============="+"\n");
          } catch (IOException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
               public void MoveFiles() throws IOException
                    File files = new File(Properties.PathOfFiles);
          String[]FilesToBeMoved1 = files.list();
          File FromPath=null;
          File ToPath=null;
          for (int j=0;j<FilesToBeMoved1.length;j++)

               ToPath = new File(Properties.ProcessedFilePath+FilesToBeMoved1[j].trim());
               Logger.log(Level.INFO,"From Path = "+FromPath+"\n");
               Logger.log(Level.INFO,"To Path = "+ToPath+"\n");
               //if (!new File(f.getPath()+"\\"+FilesToBeMoved[i]).renameTo(new File(Properties.ProcessedFilePath+FilesToBeMoved[i])));
               if (!FromPath.canRead())
                    Logger.log(Level.INFO,"Cannot Read The File = "+"\n");
               if (!FromPath.renameTo(ToPath)){

               }Any Guess!

Thanks Man this is the real mess happening in my code, thanks for identification.

Unable to connect to Company.

Dear All,
I have created AddOn and trying to Install it in SAP B1 2004. But it gives me error 'Not connected to Company' while running AddOn.
Can you pls. let me know how to salve this problem?

Archana,
There are a few different reasons for this. The typical is that you do not have the login properties set correctly in your add-on code. You may want to review the SAP SDK Help Center and specifically look at "Connecting to SAP Business One Database" for the DI API and/or "Single Sign-on".
HTH,

Radius authentication for the browser-based webtop

Hiya all,
With help of the radius-authentication module for apache (http://www.freeradius.org/mod_auth_radius/) and web-authentication it is possible to use radius-authentication for the classic-webtop. Has anyone got Radius authentication working for the browser-basedwebtop?
SSGD version:
Sun Secure Global Desktop Software for Intel Solaris 10+ (4.30.915)
Architecture code: i3so0510
This host: SunOS sgd1.<removed> 5.10 Generic_118855-36 i86pc i386 i86pc
I have the radius-module running for authentication of a single directory with the apache-config-lines:
SetEnvIf Request_URI "\.(cab|jar|gif|der)$" sgd_noauth_ok
<LocationMatch "/secure">
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from env=sgd_noauth_ok
AuthName "Radius authentication for SGD"
Authtype Basic
AuthRadiusAuthoritative on
AuthRadiusCookieValid 540
AuthRadiusActive On
Require valid-user
Satisfy any
</LocationMatch>
When changing the line <LocationMatch "/secure"> to <LocationMatch "/sgd"> the browser asks for a authentication and then a 'Not Found' page is being displayed.
When using the config-lines from http://docs.sun.com/source/819-6255/webauth_config_browser.html the login-page is being displayed normally and SSGD works.
The main difference I can find between the location /secure and /sgd is: /secure is a simple directory and /sgd is a JkMount to Tomcat.
Changing the JkLogLevel to debug gives the following info in the JkLogFile:

Any help will be usefull since I am allready stuck on this problem for a couple of days :(
Thanks,

I got response from the Fat Bloke on the mailing list.
Adding the following line in the apache httpd.conf seams to help and resolved my problem:
Alias /sgd "/opt/tarantella/webserver/tomcat/5.0.28_axis1.2final_jk1.2.8/webapps/sgd"
Thanks The Fat Bloke !!

These instructions are for a 4.2 SGD installation using SGD's third
party web authentication with mod_auth_radius.so (www.freeradius.org).
With 4.2 Sun didn't distribute enough of the Apache configured tree
to enable the use of axps to build the mod_auth_radius module, 4.3 is
better - Sun now install a modified axps and include files, I haven't
tried this with 4.3 yet though.
I built the mod_auth_radius module for Apache 1.3.33 (shipped with 4.2)
So, this is how we got this working with Radius (tested with SBR
server and freeradius.org server.)
Install SGD in the usual way.
Enable 3rd party authentication:
According to:
http://docs.sun.com/source/819-4309-10/en-us/base/standard/

/opt/tarantella/webserver/tomcat/version/conf/server.xml file. Add the
following attribute to the connector element (<Connector>) for the
Coyote/JK2 AJP 1.3 Connector:
tomcatAuthentication="false"
# cat /opt/tarantella/webserver/tomcat/5.0.28_axis1.2final_jk1.2.8/

enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="0"

"By default, for security reasons, Secure Global Desktop
Administrators can't
log in to the browser-based webtop with web server authentication.

Blank password for sa user in SQL server

i have already checked and confirmed that checkboxes in the SA login properties does not have a tick mark and also saved the properties window after leaving the password blank
but when I'm unable to login to the software that is being connected to the respective database in sql server, i find that a password has been assigned to the sa user
our application is not working if a password has been set for the sa user. please give me a solution to set a blank password for sa user and also to make sure that a password is not getting assigned automatically

Why not just disabling SA login?

Hi Siva,
with Transaction Code SM59 you maintain your RFC Destinations.
WIthin these settings you have technical settings, security, description and login properties.
In the login properties, check "Use current user" (RFCDISPLAY-RFCSAMEUSR), for that this user is used when calling the server.
Best regards;
Hartmut
