Manage ILOM password from terminal

Hi,
I have T5240/M9000 servers running Solaris 10.
I want to manage root password from terminal only using scadm command.
Can somebody help me on this? Which package do I need to install and what all configuration need to be done?
Thanks,
Prashant

Can I remove all but the last "Mac OS X Server certificate management" application password from my System Keychain?

I am slowly nursing a broken Montain Lion Server back to health. The problems started with a name change days ago then went sour, probably because of some stuff in the keychain that tripped the commands up.
I have now a trusted Root CA in my System Keychain which has signed my wildcard Certificate for my domain and all my services are protected by this wildcard certificate. Creating and installing that certificate helped me back (slowly) but there are still problems to solve
I also have set the com.apple.servermgrd identity preference to this (now trusted) wildcard certificate a few minutes ago
I am busy cleaning as much as possibe of junk from my Keychains to improve stability, of course without damaging things (I hope)
There are 19 "Mac OS X Server certificate management" application passwords in my System Keychain.
12 are from 9 days ago when I installed this clean OS X Mountain Lion Server for the first time, created within a minute during server install.
1 from 6 minutes later, maybe when I turned on a Service
2 are from that day, but 2 and 3 hours later (also probably because of something I did in Server.app, like enabling a service)
1 from 2 days later (probably when I tried to change the server name/domain)
1 from again 5 days later (probably when I tried to change the server name/domain again)
1 from yesterday, when I changed the servername
1 from today, when I changed the server name again.
What are these application passwords for and can I safely remove all but the last one? What are they for?

I went ahead and remove them a month ago. So far, there don't seem to be any issues. As long as you double-triple-check that the hash-number in those "Mac OS X Server certificate management" keychains _aren't_ in the filename of any of the *.pem files in the /etc/certificates folder, you can delete those orphan keychains.

I forgot my macbooks password and i cant do it from terminal its not working what am i goingto do?

Actually i didnt forgot my password i just wrote it with another keyboard language and i changed the keyboard now i cant find the password i tried from terminal but it says its a service error what am i going to do now ?

If you know which keyboard layout is active, tell us the characters you need to make and I may be able to tell you how to make them.
When you do have access to your machine, go to system prefs/users & groups/login options and check the box for Show Input Menu at Login Page.

Restore Password Manager .pwd File from Backup Image after HDD crash

Hi
After a HDD crash i try to recover my Password Manager pwd File from a Backup Image. In the Image the file is located in "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\XXX\Anwendungsdaten\Lenovo\Client Security Solution"
But if i try to import it the PW-Manager asks for a Password. But no PW works. Not the Windows PW (same as before) or not the Sec-Chip PW works. I tryed to copy the pwd File into the same folder but it´s not recordniced from the PW Manager.
Can somebody help me please to get my Passwords back?
thanks
Coolskin

Hi,
that saved passwords were stored also in TPM chip, so if Password maanger can not find them there , what is obvious, then I dont think, that this will work.
However it would be a test to install CSS withtou TPM recognision. Uninstall CSS and install CSS with EMULATIONMODE =1, this will install CSS in software emulation mode and do not need to contact with hardware TPM.
To be honest I never tried this scenario, but in if I would be in your situation, then I would test it just to see.
However I don't give it a big chance, that this will work.
Sorry for bad news

Changing password from a Windows XP computer for a Mac managed domain

I've experimented a little with this a did a search but can't seem to find information on it...
We have an Apple Xserve running OS X 10.4 and I am considering using it to manage a Microsoft Windows domain for our Windows PCs. It seems quite capable of doing that.
However, I was trying out changing a user password (user and password are from the Apple Open Directory server) from a Windows PC on another domain using the usual method you would do that: username, domain (actually exists on the Apple), old password, new password, etc. There seemed to be something missing as it didn't work.
Will this only work if the PC is part of the Domain for the username that needs the password changed? You can change passwords across Domains normally if doing this from a Windows PC, in my experience.
I need to be sure that MS Windows users will be able to change their passwords from their PCs before I move any MS Windows computers on to the Apple Server managed Domain.
Anyone have information on this?
Thanks.

nslookup resolves the DNS name when on both the server and the client MS windows PC.
I re-started the Windows service on the server and it now shows in the domain and is accessable through browsing the MS Network "My Network Places". So all of that was probably a tangent.
I've tried the password changing again a few times since but no luck. The server logs seem to show failed authentication for user "admin" but the username I was trying to change the password for was another username. ???

How can we find out what website/application is requesting for a login/password from the password manager?

When I start Firefox, the password manager window asking for master password pops up in a few seconds even when I have not gone to any specific website that requires me to login. I have the Zotero addon installed which requires login to synchronize itself. However, when I am not visiting a website and the password manager's master password window pops up, I am not sure of what application/website is requiring a password. Is there a way for me (as a user) to know what application is trying to obtaining a login/password from Firefox's password manager?

Connect to your computer, select the iPod under devices. Under summary you will see an option to restore.

Removing a password with Terminal.

How can I remove a password with terminal? I can change it, but I can't seem to remove it... Is there a way to do it (without the install disk).

If I recall, the "Parental Controls" only removes access to the checkbox in the "Accounts" pref pane for the managed user. It is pretty lame. I believe it is possible to really prevent someone from changing their password through "NetInfo", by setting password policy options...
I see that you have updated your profile to 10.4.10. I can definitively say that under that version of OS X, if everything is working correctly, entering the above command (with the user short name substituted) should not give an "Invalid Path" error if the user exists (assuming this is a local account on a stand-alone machine), and should not prompt for "New Password" whether the path is valid or not. It might help if you posted the exact command entered and error messages via cut and paste.
Also, the output of these commands might help in the diagnosis if there is something else going on (substitute the user's short name anywhere it says 'username', as before):<pre>
nigrep username .
nicl . -read /users/username</pre>

Reading Encrypted Password from Configuration File and Decrypt it at login

Hi All,
My application reads a configuration file to connect to the ORACLE database. The values defined for password are clear text as given below:
user: 'mh'
password='abcd1234'
Is there is any way I can give an encrypted password in the configuration file instead of a clear text file and at the time of login ORACLE decrypts it. I am using ORACLE 11g Database.
My company have a requirement that passwords are not stored in the clear in properties files. the reason being I suppose that if the password is stored in plaintext someone could hit the property file directly, get the password and then connect to the database with it.
For a regular user connecting through an Oracle client or SQL Developer they would need to have the plaintext password in order to connect.
its based on the requirements of
International Standards Organization Guidance
ISO 17799 � 9.5.4 requires password management systems to:
� enforce the use of individual passwords
� allow users to select and change their own passwords if appropriate
� enforce a choice of quality passwords
� force regular changes of passwords
� maintain a record of previous user passwords to prevent re-use
� not display passwords when they are being entered
� store password files separately from application system data
� store passwords in encrypted form using a one way encryption algorithm
� alter default vendor passwords following installation of software
So if I can store the password encrypted using a one way algorithm then hacker/user couldn't decrypt it and then access the database.
I have feeling there is a way of configuring this in Oracle advanced Security, but just can't quite get it to work.
Edited by: user5568473 on 20-May-2013 00:05

So if I can store the password encrypted using a one way algorithm then hacker/user couldn't decrypt it and then access the database.... and neither can your application. Encryption is needed in this case. The decryption must be written into your application. I've written my own in some cases, but finding a library for your development language is a smarter solution.
One alternative is using an Oracle wallet. It doesn't fit every circumstance and does have some maintenance headaches.
You can set up a basic secure password store to encrypt and store the password for a given user@instance combination, and then connect to the database without passing a password. SQL*Net adds in the appropriate password from the wallet for when you connect.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/security/twp-db-security-secure-ext-pwd-stor-133399.pdf
Advanced Security Option also allows you to set up a Public Key Infrastructure connections (SSL encryption and/or authentication). It also uses a wallet to store the SSL certificates and credentials. I don't have personal experience on this approach.
SSL and the wallet allow you to connect to the database similar to CONNECT/@net_service_name or sqlplus /@net_service_namehttp://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/network.111/b28530/asossl.htm#CIHCBIEG

Sychronisation AD - OID: Is it possible to read the user password from AD?

Hi.
We are using the Oracle Internet Directory shipped with the Oracle 9i Database Rel. 2 (9.2.0.1).
I try to synchronise the user accounts from AD to OID using JAVA JNDI. I'm able to read all necessary user information except the user password (MD5 value). Even if I connect to the AD using SSL, it's not possible to read the attribute userPassword.
Is anybody out there who got this work or knows a way (may also be by the use of another programming language or tool) to get the user password out of AD? Is this possible? How does the Oracle Integration Agents accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.
Hermann S.

Hermann,
I am working with this as well, though from AS10g, not RDBMS. According to the OID Administrator Guide chapter 43, page 43-52:
<snip>
Synchronizing passwords from Microsoft Active Directory to Oracle Internet Directory is not possible in the Oracle Application Server 10g release because passwords in Microsoft Active Directory are not accessible by LDAP clients. However, if a deployment requires passwords to be available in Oracle Internet Directory, then the following two methods are recommended:
Build a custom plug-in for Microsoft Active Directory that captures a password change and synchronizes it with Oracle Internet Directory
Manage Active Directory passwords from the Oracle environment. This enables passwords to be available in both Oracle Internet Directory and Microsoft Active Directory because the Active Directory connector can synchronize passwords from Oracle Internet Directory to Microsoft Active Directory.
</snip>
As10g can however look up the password in AD using the "Active Directory External Authentication Plug-In". This is documented in the same chapter.
Hope this helps,
Jens

Installing FF to a new hard disk, how to transfer passwords from the old installation?

I have FF installed to Win2k on a hard disk. I have installed Win7 on a new hard disk and I want to move passwords from the old installation to the new one.
It would be great if I could move all the links I get when I click the http://........ field also.

You can retrieve these from your old Profile. See [[Profiles]] which explains what they contain, and [[Managing Profiles]] for an explanation of how to move your data to the new profile.

I deleted my saved password from a site, how do I get the site to remeber my new password? The dropdown box doesn't appear now when I type in my password

I removed my saved password from some sites that I needed to change my password for because they wouldn't auto log me in anymore. So I removed them and then retyped my new passwords in and the usual "do you want us to remember this password" drop down box didn't pop up.

Firefox would normally have asked if you want to store a new password when you erase the password and enter a new password.
Did you check the password exceptions and make sure that the Password Manager is enabled?

New Imac. I get rid off login password from security and account and restart. Now it asks for username and password and it's not acepting anything. Any ideas?

New Imac. I get rid off login password from security and accounts and restart. Now it asks for username and password and it's not acepting anything. Any ideas?

First, reset your password as follows.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.
If you're being prompted to authenticate when making changes to files inside your home folder, continue as follows.
Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
