Managing XE Database Passwords

Hello~
We're on OVM 2.2.0 and are in the process of updating all core passwords (sys/system/dbsnmp/etc.) on our databases.
So, my question: is it "safe" to change these passwords on the embedded Oracle XE database that OVM uses?
And if those passwords are changed, are there additional configuration changes that need to be made to allow the OVM manager software to continue to function normally?
Thanks,
- Nathan

There shouldnt be noticeable limitations. If you research the native clients vs ODBC on the web you pretty much get a mixed bag. It really depends on your environment and personal preference. In our environment we use Windows Servers and SQL Server as our datasource so using the SQL Native Client Drivers was a no brainer for us, but anytime we have any issues and contact SAP they suggest ODBC connections.
Test it out in your Dev environment and see if you notice any improvement versus one method over the other. Maybe use performance manager to see if you can capture any latency between the two.
But if you are looking for an easy way to manage your passwords, I still think ODBC is the way to go.

Azure database password reset

I would like to know where to either reset the main database password from the Azure portal or delete the database so I can create another as I no longer have that password. Thanks.

Hi,
You can do the reset from the management portal. Select the Database choice on the left, then select Servers:
Then, after selecting the server of choice, you'll see the option on the right for resetting admin password:

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.

After installing the reportservice/database i cannot use the Configuration Manager Console 2012 anymore with my own AD account. (The accounts of my colleagues are stil working)

Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control Release 10.2.0.3.0

Please help me in this. Thanks.

See the Metalink Note *Impact Document for Daylight Saving Time Shift for Enterprise Manager Grid Control [ID 417939.1]* Appendix B - FAQ - point 18
What is the impact of not patching the JDK on the OMS for 10g Grid Control?
If you do not patch the JDK on the OMS page refreshed times and possibly other times displayed in the console will be incorrect (they will be off by 1 hour) during an affected period.
Oracle strongly recommends that you do patch the OMS JDK but we are not aware of any data corruption in the repository nor of any impact on critical EM functionalities (such as severities, notifications and jobs) when the JDK is not patched.

Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control log file location

Any one knows where the log file is for Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control. I am trying to set up EUS proxy authentication and running into issues when trying to search proxy user in my DB. The search returns no results and I am not sure where to look for. Please not my setup does work for EUS with shared or exclusive schema. I need to use Oracle DB proxy authentication for my application and that would need a setup of EUS with proxy permissions so please advice if you know where the log file is for Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control or if there is any logging I can turn on to see what search parameters are passed from Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control to my DB by using DB audit etc.
Thanks,

Be patient...wait for report.
If after some time report does not appear, go to Advisor Central and find it there.

Managing multiple database in 10g enterprise manager without Grid control

Hi,
How do we manage multiple databases using oracle 10 g enterprise manager?.
Do we have any java console EM, so that we can add databases as in 9i EM?
Thanks and regards
Suresh HT

Grid Control is the replacement for 9i EM. Without GC, you'll have to manage each database using its database control which isn't good if you have many many databases.
On the client CD, there is a java console you can install which has some packs like change manager but this console is only there temporarily. My understanding is it's there for some features that haven't been added to GC.

Workgroup Manager loses all passwords when the Xserver is rebooted

Hi all.. I'm a newbie with Mac server, an MCSE and former Network Adminstrator of an all Windows domain, now in a mixed environment and responsible for the Mac server/clients as well as the Windows server/clients.
In January we attempted a migration from Panther server to Tiger/Xserve, on a brand new server. It appeared to have worked, and users were able to log in successfully after being created in Workgroup Manager, and given passwords.
Our problem is huge!! We cannot reboot this server!! Therefore, we cannot do upgrades, for just one problem. What happens when we reboot is that ALL passworeds in Workgroup Manager have to be entered again!
Any help will be gratefully appreciated!

Tony,
I wish to thank you for the helpful comments/suggestions to download the article at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.4/en/c3gs4.html
It was an excellent quick guide that I followed to the letter, and then I called Apple Support and was able to further troubleshoot our server/client connection issues. When I left at the end of the day, the server is in great shape, although we still have some connection issues and tomorrow one of our Mac teachers who used to manage our Mac server will show me how to re-create the shared folders/shares and then add the users to the shares.
The good news is that the users are now semi-connecting, with the peppermint-stick progress indicator, but then a failure message that refers to the shares.
Your link to the article was a terrific start for me, and the Apple technician was most impressed that I had already covered all of the suggestions in that article when we spoke.
Thanks... one more post after a complete success, hopefully tomorrow... which I will probably spend re-creating all users and shares..

Database Password in ORPOS 13.3

HI All,
I am not able to find the file in which database password is stored in installed ORPOS 13.3.
It is not in the DefaultDataTechnician.xml. Can anybody knows where it stores the password in 13.3.
Thanks..

correct...while we r also new to 13.3. and still exploring it...as per our understanding till now, ORPOS uses CSF KeyStore API to encrypt credentials in cwallet.sso (\OracleRetailStore\Server\pos\Bin\) using alias names (dataSourceUser, schemaUser) using ecrypted pswd given at the time of installation....there are APIs to decrypt/read this sso file...
pls check if it helps..
