Hello:
You could add a 'before header' page process to the application's login page with code similar to declare
rslt varchar2(100);
begin
rslt:=null;
case when apex_util.get_authentication_result=1 then
rslt:='Invalid Username';
when apex_util.get_authentication_result=4 then
rslt:='Invalid Password';
else
null;
end case;
if not rslt is null then
apex_mail.send('[email protected]','[email protected]','Login Error-> Username=' || :p101_username ||' -> ' || rslt ,null,'Login Error');
apex_mail.push_queue;
end if;
end;Varad

User locks out, due to 5 invalid login attempts after the server running
Hi ,
I HAC on WLS 10.3.2 (Oracle Solaris on x86-64 (64-bit)).
user locks out, due to 5 invalid login attempts just after the server comes into running state.
But the strange thing is Customer is not trying to login into it.
we unlocked the user, after logging into the console with a different user.
Customer knows the username and password
Still the issue appears after few minutes.
Below are the logs:

Ix4-300d : Remote access logging / unknown user / invalid login attempt
From time to time a customer of mine is seeing invalid login tries in the log ( mostly 'admin', 'Administrator', but also unconfigured names like 'grigor'?.
Is there any chance to determine, whether these login attempts (until now not successfull because 'non-common' passwords are used) come from inside or via <my-cloud>.mylenovoemc.com from outside?

If you find a post helpful and it answers your question, please mark it as an "Accepted Solution"!It should not put too much strain on the device, but it would make the dump log a bit longer. If you just got a dump report from the device without detailed logging should be able to get an IP address of the invalid attempt, so it may not be necessary to turn on detailed logging if you can get an IP address. Although if it is someone attempting to hack into the system, they are probably hiding their IP address anyway. Do they have a firewall on their network that could provide information about the source of the attempted login?

Mail and login (vnc) "hang" then suddenly available again.
hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me solve this one.
Quite often during the day, my mail server both pop and smtp will suddenly be "unavailable". At the same time if I try to connect to my server via VNC and try to login, the login screen will just hang there for say 1 minute or more, and then log in. At the same time that the login happens, the mail server comes to life again - or sometimes not.
Normally I need to restart the server to get it all working ok again. As soon as it restarts, the mail server is fine and everything is back to normal speed again.
Also, while the mail server is not reachable my my Mail app (Apple Mail) and the login window has ground to a halt thinking, the mail server can still be "pinged" ok, and the web server is still running fine too.
Any ideas?????
reganI've been struggling with this, primarily with 10.4 servers but it did seem to affect my personal 10.5 server for a moment.
From what I can tell, the authentication 'server' in OS X is getting overloaded with invalid SSH login attempts. What seems to be happening is that once the server is overloaded with invalid login attempts it eventually takes a very long time to return a response whenever there is an attempt to authenticate a password (logging in to POP, IMAP, SMTP, account login screen, AFP, etc). It appeared that over time one could log in with a delay of a few seconds, then a few minutes, then 5-10 or more minutes. I think you'd find that if you waited long enough, your attempt to log in via VNC would eventually go through. Just be sure to not do anything in the Finder afterwards that requires authentication!
These login attempts never bothered me before because my passwords are robust and I've limited SSH login to only the admin user. As a temporary solution, I've simply disabled the SSH server (in Sys Prefs Sharing pane, called Remote Login). Ideally I'd like to fix the server and keep SSH on port 22, but I'm leaning towards changing the default port to keep the losers at bay.
Hope that helps. -

FTP Security - Repeated Login Attempts
Over the past 2 weeks or so, i've seen about a bazillion of these types of entries in the system log of one of our ftp servers:
Aug 21 03:39:22 ns ftpd[4099]: ACL Check failed for Administrator
Aug 21 03:39:22 ns ftpd[4099]: ACL Check failed for Administrator
Aug 21 03:39:22 ns ftpd[4099]: ACL Check failed for Administrator
Aug 21 03:39:23 ns ftpd[4099]: repeated login failures from atlantis @ 83.143.18.134 [83.143.18.134]
Obviously, someone is trying to gain access (unsuccessfully - thank goodness) to the system. The repeated login attempts last anywhere from 5 - 30 minutes, always with the username Administrator. The IP addresses are from all over the world - Europe, Asia, and the US. Why we have a bullseye on us all of a sudden is unknown. This server has been running for close to three years now, and I've never seen attempts with this frequency.
The Administrator user doesn't have ftp access on this system, so I'm not too worried about these break - in attempts. (Or should I be?)
My formal question is this - is there anything that can be done with the out of the box ftp server to deter these attempts, or at least block attempts by IP address temporarily after several failed logins?
What approach have others used? Is it time to start looking at another ftp server software package that has more security settings?
Any help / input would be appreciated.
I miss my Apple IIc Mac OS X (10.4.6)Thanks for the feedback Camelot. I'll post my replies under the quoted text below.
If you're running a public server you're going to get
hits you don't want. Fact of life.
Script kiddies around the world are going to try
whatever username and password they can think of to
log into your server.
Having a different FTP server isn't going to change
that - any other server is just as vulnerable to
brute-force attacks as the built-in server. How do
you think a different server is going to react any
differently?
I don't know - that's why I asked.
I've only used the bundled ftp server with OS X server. I was wondering if there was a ftp software package that temporarily blocked IPs after 'n' number of invalid login attempts or something like that. And thought I'd see if anyone had any experience in this department.
Your only safeguards are some combination of:
1) use your firewall to restrict access to the server
to known/trusted IP addresses
Unfortunately, a few of our users use dynamic IPs. Which is a bummer.
2) use a VPN to connect to the server, then connect
to the internal address
We've used this method successfully before. We might go back to it...
It was a 'pain' for some of our remote users and I finally gave into the nagging to do away with it because I spent way too much time providing phone support for remote users. I know, I know, it's just laziness on my part.
3) use a different protocol that supports public key
authentication (and turn off password
authentication), e.g. SFTP.
I've looked into SFTP for the OS X ftp server on these boards and most discussions don't seem to resolve into a definitive solution for implementing SFTP on the OS X server. Anyone get this working properly? I'd love to set it up to support SFTP only and disable password authentication.
I'm leaving the original question open - I'd like to know if there is ftp software that works well on OS X server that would temporarily block an IP after 'n' invalid attempts, or has something similar.
Or for someone to tell me I'm just being paranoid - and that the current setup should be OK. -
APS Administrator login attempts
Hello, does APS check the number of failed Administrator login attempts to the admin web site? Does it block the Admin accesses when the limit is reached? how long?
Thanks, ClaudioHi Claudio,
APS will lock out an Administrator after a specified number of failed login attempts. Both the number of failed login attempts before the Administrator is locked out and the amount of time (in minutes) the administrator is locked out for can be configured via the Web Console (Configuration->Server Configuration).
Hope this helps,

TBird v 24.5 running on W7 and Avast Free AV (up to date) running.
For years TB has been successfully accessing the pop mail account on this PC with Avast, etc...
Recently the provider (Centurylink/Embarqmail) made some changes. I double-checked the settings against their online list of settings. Also went over them with the Tech Support folks on the phone.
Upon opening TB, it goes to check mail and reports back:
Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server pop.centurylink.net responded Auth-status invalid login or password.
Press OK, then select Re-type PW. Enter the same password as I always have, and select Password Manager to remember.
TB will successfully check mail.
Close TB, start it up again, and get the same response. Go though the same motions, and am able to get mail.
Centurylink/Embarq has said repeatedly that I need to contact the manufacturer of TB... They say they have given me all the support and settings they can.
I've tried changing all sorts of settings to no avail.
Hoping that someone out there recognizes this problem and can offer a solution, or give me some items to check to get to the bottom of it.
Thank you in advance for your time.
System details as shown are for the PC I'm using to submit the request, not the PC I'm trying to solve the problem upon.You can try this:
Open TB, go to Tools/Options/Security/Passwords, and click saved passwords. Select (click) the email with the password issue, and then click remove. Restart TB.
The password prompt comes up. Enter password, check the remember option, and see if that fixes the issue by restarting and seeing if it logs in without issue. -
To send a mail for failed login attempts,.
We have to implement the mailing system in linux.,to send the mail regarding failed login attempts and ip address of user who attempted the failed login.,any one have the idea on this?
Regards.,
VaaruRunning an old beta version of RHEL is a bad idea. If you are concerned about security and operation of your OS I suggest to use a more recent release version. You can download, install and use Oracle Linux for free.
Mail processing of failed login attempts is not a good idea and to my knowledge there is no such built-in system setting. I suggest you read the standard documentation or search the Web for information on how to set up a mail system. You will probably need to create a custom script to process failed login attempts. -

We have a UCS system configured for LDAP authentication against Active Directory. Everything is working as expected, but on the DCs we are seeing excessive failed login attempts originating from the fabric interconnect IPs against an invalid domain account. We are seeing anywhere from hundreds to thousands of attempts per day, so I don't believe these are due to invalid GUI login attempts or anything user driven. I've dug through the GUI but cannot find anything that would be using that account. The BindDN is set to use a different account created solely for this purpose. An example from the event log is posted below (192.168.32.12 is the primary FI). Any thoughts?

I checked my lab setup and do not see anything similar, can you let me know the UCSM version and i can check for that specific version.
Is there is any other AD intergation? back-up job? KVM access etc?
feel free to open a TAC case if you wish to and we should to able to look into the logs and figure out if there is a request going out from UCS for authentication of a specific account.
Thanks!

Invalid login after apex upgrade
I upgraded apex for Oracle XE to apex 3.2.1. Ran all the scripts and everything seemed fine. Ran the script to change the admin password that worked as well.
However when I go to either of the login pages(one that has the workspace and the one that has just username and password) from internet explorer
I keep getting invalid login credintials
I tried the below solution from the this thread How Gain Access When Locked Out of Developer Workspace
I keep getting 0 rows updated after running this
update apex_030200.wwv_flow_fnd_user set change_password_on_first_use ='N'+
where lower(user_name) = 'admin';
I even tried the update without the where clause and still got 0 rows updated.
here's a quote from the thread
Hi All,
The lockout message I received was:
Access denied by Application security check
Application access restricted to internal workspace users.
Return to application.
I logged in as SYSDBA and ran the following scripts:
First change the password for the Internal ADMIN account (the one i was locked out of)
SQL> @apxxepwd <new password>
then
SQL> update apex_030200.wwv_flow_fnd_user set change_password_on_first_use ='N'
where lower(user_name) = 'admin';
+1 row updated+
SQL> commit;
--Note: schema name apex_030200 will depend on version of APEX you are using and your installation. I am using version 3.2.0.00.27+
Finally log into APEX using the two-field security form with the admin account. Make any changes to the workspace or user accounts. Note that after repeated attempts to login, some accounts may be locked, as was the case with me.
Hope this helps somebody else.
Regards,
GlenroyOk I got the admin user to work. However when I try to import an app I get this
"ORA-02291: integrity constraint (FLOWS_FILES.WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJ_FK) violated - parent key not found"
Error uploading export file."
I get this is i use an app from apex 2.1 or even when I tried to import the sample app I exported from 3.2.
I wonder if there is some type of permissions issue with the admin account since I created it manually I was not sure what to put in the fields... -
THE ISSUES ARE:
1. FORGOT PASSWORD
2. FORGOT PASSWORD RECOVERY INFO
3. EXCEEDED ATTEMPTS TO LOGIN
I HAVE READ OTHER PEOPLES FORUM PROBLEMS THAT ARE THE SAME. WHEN I FOLLOWED LINKS THAT SUPPORT GAVE THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM.
What I need is simply this: Blackberry to send me a RESET PASSWORD link to the email I have registered with Blackberry WITHOUT HAVING TO PROVIDE PASSWORD RECOVERY INFO. This will enable me to bypass unknown recovery password info and access my Blackberry ID account.
Why haven't I been able to find a solution to fix the problem?
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO EXIST........ ANYWHERE..... EVEN ON YOUTUBE BLACKBERRY ARE RUNNING AN OUT OF DATE SOLUTION CENTRE.
When looked online to Blackberry youtube video it shows a solution that doesn't exist! WHY? BECAUSE IT WAS UPLOADED IN 2011. DUH. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvdRb4qNG1M
If I can't remember my password or recovery password info there is NO other option available that will send me a reset password via email so I can keep my current BB ID.
KB34776 - does not apply because you HAVE TO BE ABLE TO REMEMBER YOUR RECOVERY PASSWORD!
CHECKED THIS OUT...
Workaround
If the BlackBerry ID password has been forgotten but the answer to the password recovery question is known, select Forgot Password on the smartphone and answer the recovery question to generate a password reset email. Follow KB28685 to complete this process.
If the BlackBerry smartphone user knows the email address used for the BlackBerry ID login but is unable to remember the associated password then it is possible to reset the password using the steps below:
Note: If the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed, it is necessary to provide the answer to the password recovery question as part of the web based password reset flow.
To see if a BlackBerry ID account is confirmed, log in to the BlackBerry ID account, select Account Details and locate the Email Status field. For instructions on confirming the BlackBerry ID account follow KB34137.
Browse to the following URL using a desktop browser, the BlackBerry Browser on the BlackBerry smartphone, or the Browser on the BlackBerry PlayBook: http://blackberryid.blackberry.com/bbid/recoverpassword
Enter the BlackBerry ID Username (email address) and the CAPTCHA characters, then clickSubmit.
Enter the Answer to the Password Recovery Question, then click OK.
Note: Answering the recovery question is only required if the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed.
A confirmation message will be displayed A password reset email has been sent to [email protected], at which point, a reset email will be delivered to the associated email address inbox.
Log in to the email account associated to the BlackBerry ID using the desktop browser, BlackBerry Browser on the smartphone, or the Browser on the BlackBerry PlayBook.
Locate the password reset email and select the Change your BlackBerry ID password link.
Note: The BlackBerry ID reset email will come from [email protected]. If the email is not found in the inbox, check the mailbox's Spam or Junk folder.
When the password reset page loads, enter the Answer to the Password Recovery Question, enter the New Password, Confirm Password, then click Submit.
A confirmation message will display once the changes have been saved successfully.
Moving forward use the newly created password whenever logging into BlackBerry ID.
If the BlackBerry smartphone user does not know the email or password that was used for the BlackBerry ID, the BlackBerry ID will be locked out after 10 unsuccessful login attempts. See KB24157 for BlackBerry ID lockout behavior.
THEN CHECKED KB24157......
Overview
BlackBerry ID is the master key to BlackBerry smartphone products, sites, services and applications, including BlackBerry Protect and the BlackBerry App World storefront.
To prevent unauthorized access to the account, the BlackBerry ID will become locked out after a number of failed attempts. See the information below for an outline on the expected behavior:
Local Authentication Lockout
On BlackBerry PlayBook and BlackBerry smartphones if the user enters their BBID password incorrectly 10 times on the BBID sign in screen, verify password screen, or BBID Edit screens, they are LOCKED OUT of all the following functions on that BlackBerry device for 15 minutes:
Authenticating with their BlackBerry ID on the sign in screen
Authenticating with their BlackBerry ID on the verify password screen
Authenticating with their BlackBerry ID on the BBID edit screens
Note: The user can still log in on the web or any other devices associated with their BlackBerry ID. They are only locked out on the device where the 10 incorrect attempts occurred. On the locked out device, after 15 minutes, they get 1 try to provide the correct password on the sign in and/or verify password screens. If they fail to enter the correct password, they are locked out for an additional 15 minutes on that device.
Account Server Lockout
Users have total of 10 attempts to enter their password correctly against the BlackBerry ID Account Server.
The scenarios that increment the Account Server lockout counter are as follows:
Providing an incorrect password anywhere on the BlackBerry ID web portal (blackberry.com/blackberryid)
Providing an incorrect password within the BlackBerry ID Edit feature on any BlackBerry device or BlackBerry PlayBook
Note: if a user provides an incorrect password 5 times on the BlackBerry ID web portal (blackberry.com/blackberryid), and then 5 more times on the BlackBerry ID Edit feature on their BlackBerry PlayBook, the cumulative number of failed attempts is 10. Once the user has made 10 incorrect attempts to provide their password against the Account Server, they are locked out of the Account Server PERMANENTLY until they reset their password.
See KB26361 for information to reset a BlackBerry ID password
Note: The Account Server Lockout does NOT prevent the user from local authenticating on devices (the user can still authenticate on the sign in and verify password screens on their BlackBerry devices).
Forgot Password Lockout
If the user answers their Security Question incorrectly 10 times, they are locked out for 15 minutes of Forgot Password functionality on all interfaces such as:
BlackBerry website (blackberry.com/blackberryid)
BlackBerry PlayBook
BlackBerry smartphone
Note: After 15 minutes, they get 1 try, and if they fail to answer the question correctly, they are locked out for an additional 15 minutes.
THAT DIDN'T WORK SO NOW ITS BACK TO..... KB26361

To see if a BlackBerry ID account is confirmed, login to the BlackBerry ID account, select Account Details and locate the Email Status field. For instructions on confirming the BlackBerry ID account follow KB34137.

Note: If the BlackBerry ID email address is a BlackBerry mail address (e.g. <username>@tmo.blackberry.net), the BlackBerry ID password reset email will not be received on the BlackBerry smartphone. Since the BlackBerry mail address is not accessible from a computer, the steps outlined in KB28111 will need to be performed.
IT ALL LEADS BACK TO THE SAME UNHELPFUL NON-SOLUTION OF USE THE PASSWORD RECOVERY QUESTION....
Can the tech department of Blackberry please sort out this ridiculous unhelpful system by sending customers a direct email if password is forgotten so they can reset without having to go through the above without finding a solution.
THANK YOU.Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please see this "sticky" post, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed:

Hopefully, this information will be of use to you.
That said, it sounds like you have exhausted all of the automatic recovery methods...but just in case, please see this "sticky" post for helpful information concerning your BBID situation:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-World/How-to-regain-access-to-your-BBID/td-p/25467...
Hopefully, this information will be of use to you.
But do please keep in mind that security is a 2-way street...the human element play an equal part in that security, and you have failed at that in this situation, yet desire for the automated methods to still recover for you. Such just isn't possible, because your failure has exceeded the capabilities of the automated methods.
Hence, you likely need human intervention from an actual BB representative, which is not available in this forum (as discussed in the first link I gave you above). But, the methods to attempt to seek human intervention are posted within the 2nd link I gave you.
Cheers, and Good Luck!
