Md5 of application

I hope you'll forgive a somewhat-modified follow-up to a previous question, but I'm still having problems.
Often when downloading an application, the application includes an "md5" code for security. I'm trying to generate such a code in Unix for comparison, but I can't use the md5 command because it thinks an application is a directory and it won't process it.
How does one generate the appropriate md5 signature? (Note: the tar idea was good, except that tar includes the access time in its calculations, which screws everything up)
Thanks for any thoughts on this
Eric

perhaps this is the documentation that you're looking for, it's for FSEvents.

Incoming MDN not getting recognized properly

Hi,
We're testing AS2 over HTTPS
Host and remote is setup as
Is Non-Repudiation of Receipt Required Yes
Is Non-Repudiation of Origin Required Yes
Encryption Enabled Yes
Transport Security Enabled
When I get the MDN back I get both host and remote TP with host TP name and it errors out subsequently the actual message errors out after timing out in WaitAck
here are the log extracts

our AS2 Identifier is ZZSCHNEIDER , I was using name in the agreement. I tried all combinations still same issue. I have sent you new log files after changing everything to AS2 Identifiers
here's the scoop
1. Cyclone sending X12 204 (AS2 over HTTPS) to Oracle B2B
Agreement has AS2 Identifiers ZZSCHEINDER (cyclone) and SCNNLAB(Oracle B2B)
we're using load balancer
This scenario is working fine, Oracle B2B gets the transmission and sends back MDN.
2.Oracle B2B sends X12 850 to Cyclone
Agreement has AS2 Identifiers ZZSCHEINDER (cyclone) and SCNNLAB(Oracle B2B)
Here incoming MDN errors out and subsequently the 850 message errors out as well (after timing out on WaitAck).
Please see if I am missing any thing

It seems that the installer on the Mac App Store is still OS X 10.9.3

I downloaded the full installer app from the Mac App Store today.
The version written on the Information Column is 10.9.4.
However, I checked the md5 of the InstallESD.dmg only to find that it is the same as OS X 10.9.3's InstallESD.dmg.
Hence, it seems that the full installer app on the MAS now is still OS X 10.9.3.
Is there anyone who encountered the same problem?
Here is the screenshot of the md5.

Does the InstallESD.dmg contain everything that gets installed? I thought there were other packages that were external to the installESD?
Do you need to compare every file?
FileMerge in the developer tools does this visually.
Or use find with md5…
find "/Applications/Install OS X Mavericks.app" -type f -exec md5 {} \;
# big list of md5's...
You could just compare packages.
find "/Applications/Install OS X Mavericks.app" -type f -name *.mpkg -exec md5 {} \;
I suspect the installer also downloads updates, but it's not clear if this is automated or if it is only done in software update after the install, it seems like the latter.
Also bear in mind lots of caching goes on with massive distribution systems like the App Store updates, you may want to give it a few hours (or days) to allow caches to be fully renewed, or try another network connection if possible, some ISP's can try to be aggressive about DNS or other caching.

HT4970 It seems that the Calendar app and the Reminders app overlap.

Why are these 2 apps separate, do they not overlap in function? If they are separate when do I use one vs. the other?
Please help me out here. Are they really separate functions?

How to include md5 package in application

Hi All,
First of all sorry I posted in another users thread. In the thread http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5426671 the person used org.bouncycastle.crypto.digests.MD5Digest for doing md5.
I need some help here on how you include the org.bouncycastle.crypto.digests.MD5Digest library in my java code as I want to use the md5.
I am also working on something similar like that but without the web application part and a detail which consists on OTP part using md5.
As the md5() doesn't work in j2me so was also searching for something which will work on MIDP.
package com.abc; //package define
public class messDig5 //class define
    private String generateHash(String OTP, int loopNum) {
        byte[] secretBytes = OTP.getBytes();
        for (int x = 0; x < loopNum; x++) {
            byte[] tempStore = new byte[16];
            tempStore = hash(secretBytes);
            secretBytes = tempStore;
     //   return convertToHex(secretBytes);
        return byteArrayToHexString(secretBytes);
    public byte[] hash(byte[] secretBytes) {
       org.bouncycastle.crypto.digests.MD5Digest digest = new org.bouncycastle.crypto.digests.MD5Digest();
        digest.reset();
        // Update MD5 digest with user secret in byte format
        digest.update(secretBytes, 0, secretBytes.length);
        // get length of digest to initialise new md5 byte array
        int length = digest.getDigestSize();
        // create md5 byte array using length
        byte[] md5 = new byte[length];
        // calculate MD5 hash, using md5 byte array, 0 for buffer offset
        digest.doFinal(md5, 0);
        return md5;
//    private static String convertToHex(byte[] data) {

//                } else {

Camellia,
I take you already added bouncycatsle to your project as a compile dependency, since it compiles (unless it does not).
All you have to do for your code to work on the phone, you need to build your JAR file (that you use to distribute your MIDlet) with bouncycastle packaged in. This will all depend on the method you use to build your JAD and JAR files.
I use antenna tool, which provides me with ant tasks to compile, build jar, package external libraries etc. Your scenario can be different, but all you have to do is to search manuals and/or google for methods on how to package external libraries with your build.

Adding application to firewall changes md5 sum

I was playing World of Warcraft and the application stopped connecting to the server. Firefox worked, mail worked, even Ventrilo worked, but the warcraft app would not connect. I figured maybe i needed to add the application to the firewall exclusion list, so i added it. Apparently the act of doing so caused its checksum to be changed by the application firewall when it was added to the list of allowed applications.
When the client connects to the server, the validation based on the checksum fails and i am unable to play the game. The only solution put forward by blizzard is to delete the game and re-install from scratch.

Girish,
You have a couple of choices here....
1) Use PDK-Java to make your JSP application a portlet. You would install the PDK-Java Framework and then add your JSP application as a portlet. For this, you would need to take a look at the PDK ... PDK-Java and Download/install the jpdk and also follow the "How to" article on create a JSP portlet.
2) Use PDK-URL Services. URL Services allows you to take your exisitng application and add it as a portlet without modification.
Go to the PDK, PDK-URL Services section.
Thanks,
Sue

Certificate support in Java Swing application

Hi There,
I am new to this Certificate thing and running into issues! Would appreciate for all the help and please ignore for any stupid questions.
Here is my scenario.
1. I do have a client server application and client is a java swing application which connects to a Server application (Using Jetty 4.2.22 as embedded server)
2. Initially, it had a self signed certificate but goal is to support third party certificate (i.e import in the server and then show warning to the client during login)
If somebody has already done this or point me to some example (using Jetty APIs) that would be great help. If not, here is what I am trying to do and some questions.
1. I tried to get some free SSL certificate from the web and imported into the server's KeyStore.
If I do a list from the server using Keystore, this is what it looks like
keytool -list -keystore /tmp/keystore -storepass genview
Keystore type: JKS
Keystore provider: SUN
Your keystore contains 2 entries
self, Dec 3, 2008, PrivateKeyEntry,
Certificate fingerprint (MD5): 0D:58:E8:77:89:09:F8:2B:37:64:37:D5:03:AD:C9:0B
rapid, Jan 6, 2009, trustedCertEntry,
Certificate fingerprint (MD5): 64:9C:EF:2E:44:FC:C6:8F:52:07:D0:51:73:8F:CB:3
QUESTION 1 : why the third party certificate's entry as "trustedCertEntry"? Is it always like this? Do I need to have only one certificate at a time? (If so, just remove the self signed and have 3rd party one)
My Jetty server comes up but when I connect from Client Swing App, the "getServerCertificates()" method only returns one entry i.e self signed one but not the third party one.
I am using like this
URL url = new URL("https://127.0.0.1:port");
HttpsURLConnection conn = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.connect();
Certificate[] certs = conn.getServerCertificates();
Is not this API supposed to return all the server's certificate?
Please guide me or instruct me what to do.
Thanks,
CRB

How can I Create an individual MD5 file for each folder in a main directory?

The specs for a file delivery I'm making require an individual MD5 file per folder, with the contents of that folder being inside the MD5 file. Such as:
DAY_01 (MAIN FOLDER)
A01
-(files 1-1000)
-md5 for files 1-1000
A02
-files 1001-2000
-md5 for files 1001-2000
And so on. Is there a script or program that can make those MD5 files automatically or do I hace to go and do each one individually? Thanks

I don't know of any pre-existing solution to your question, but it isn't hard to write one:
set theFolder to (choose folder)
tell application "System Events"
          set subfolders to every folder of theFolder
          repeat with eachFolder in subfolders
                    set fPath to (POSIX path of eachFolder)
                    set fName to name of eachFolder
                    set md5Filename to quoted form of (fName & ".md5")
                    do shell script "cd " & quoted form of fPath & "; /sbin/md5 * > " & md5Filename
          end repeat
end tell
The idea here is that it asks for a folder to process. It then grabs a list of all the folders inside that folder (subfolders), then for each subfolder it extracts its POSIX path and the folder name, then it builds a shell command that actually goes to each folder, runs the md5 command (passing in all files), writing the output to a .md5 file named according to the folder.

Error during creation of application entity for the plug-in.

Hi Experts,
As part of creating Content Database source for SES....
We,
1 Activated the Oracle Internet Directory identity plug-in for the Oracle Content
Database instance.
2) However after activating Identity plug-in for Oracle Internet Directory.... ......... we used the csPlugin.ldif file to create an application entity for the plug-in by running the following command "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapmodify -h oidHost -p OIDPortNumber -D "cn=oracle" -w password -f csPlugin.ldif" ....but in the process executing the above command.... getting the following error(we gave correct login details):
SASL/DIGEST-MD5 authentication started
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Invalid credentials (49)
How can i resolve this.
I have another query...in the command "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapmodify -h oidHost -p OIDPortNumber -D "cn=oracle" -w password -f csPlugin.ldif" which user name should i specify..... is it "cn=oracle" or "cn=orcladmin"
Thanks
peter.

In that guide.... during creation of Content Database source he did not mention any entry for "SES keystore location", and the exception which we are getting is related to "SES keystore location: null" (please look into the exception stack).
could you please guide us.

Sun Management Console doesn't support MD5 passwords?

I recently converted all our Sun systems to use MD5 passwords, using the Linux-BSD algorithm. I chose the Linux-BSD algorithm for compatibility reasons. After giving root a new password, now stored in MD5 format, I can no longer log in to the Sun Management Console (smc). I had the same problem with DB2. Switching root's password back to CRYPT fixed the issue.
Is this a known problem that Sun is working on? And how does this happen? Shouldn't the application leave authentication to the OS?

IIRC the Solaris 10 Basic admin guide talks about this issue.

Using md5 in a manul tabular form to compare if column value changed

Version: Application Express 3.2.0.00.27
Hello,
I am creating a manul tabular form using apx_item in my select statment that is the source for the query in a report region. I am using a collection. The collection creation statement is:
    apex_collection.create_collection_from_query(
       p_collection_name => 'DELEG_COLL',
       p_query           => 'SELECT authid
                           ,empid empid
                           ,to_char(deldate,''DD-MON-YYYY'') deldate
                           ,delscope delscope
                           ,dellimits dellimits
                           ,subdelrights subdelrights
                           ,to_char(delexpiry,''DD-MON-YYYY'') delexpiry
                           ,to_char(datedelremoved,''DD-MON-YYYY'') datedelremoved
                           ,delremovalcomments delremovalcomments
                           ,delegator delegator
                           ,''O'' original_record
                           ,wwv_flow_item.md5(delscope, dellimits, subdelrights,
                              to_char(delexpiry,''DD-MON-YYYY'') delexpiry,
                              to_char(datedelremoved,''DD-MON-YYYY'') datedelremoved,
                              delremovalcomments, delegator)
                           FROM tbl_delegations
                           where empid = v(''P12_EMPID'')',
       p_generate_md5     => 'YES');The above code is giving me an error in the function
wwv_flow_item.md5(delscope, dellimits, subdelrights,
                              to_char(delexpiry,''DD-MON-YYYY'') delexpiry,
                              to_char(datedelremoved,''DD-MON-YYYY'') datedelremoved,
                              delremovalcomments, delegator)It doesn't seem to like where I attempt to convert date column delexpiry and datedelremoved to a varchar. I am doing this as in the db they are dates and inorder to using the md5 function to compare if the values have changed and only update rows where the values changed.
There error that I get is:
ORA-20104: create_collection_from_query Error:ORA-20104: create_collection_from_query ParseErr:ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
In the collection I am trying to store the md5 hash result. I haved all the update and insert logic working expect for date type columns. THose give the above error.
I thank you ahead of time for your assistance!

Helen,
Not sure I fully understand your goal. We don't use "tasks" at all but if you are looking to have your workflow check certain valus and be able to send email messages to people based on whatever, then you can certainly do that (as long as your Sharepoint
has the email setup. We do this for alot of workflow tasks.
So, in the workflow you can have a blanket statement like what I previously listed:
if Current Item:hiddenStatus not equals Current Item:Status
    .... do something
or you can do something like:
if Current Item:hiddenStatus equals "In-Progress"
    .... do something
Else if Current Item:hiddenStatus equals "Completed"
    .... do something
or combine the two and do nested "if" statements. Then you add an email statement wherever you need it like:
if Current Item:hiddenStatus equals "Completed"
   then email "these users"
To add the email part, just type in "email" on the line where you want to add a statment. There is only one option to choose from. That will display the line "then email these users".   The "these users" will be a link. When you
click it you will get a popup to add the email info. We typically will send the email to a user (or users) that are already listed in one of the PeoplePicker fields. On the email form, you can type in your own text, designate that a value is based
on a column value (like our PeoplePicker), designate that a value is based on a workflow variable, add a link to the current item, etc. To get to these options you will click the button to the right of the fields or use the "Add or Change Lookup" button
in the bottom-left for the text area. There is alot you can set in the mail.
Does this help answer your question?

Migration Users with MD5 Passwords to Directory Server 6.1 on Solaris 10

Hi,
We are currently in a requirement of migrating some users to a application database to inside LDAP. Currently Application maintained the passwords in the MD5 hash form. Typical 32 digit Hex value - 41da76f0fc3ec62a6939e634bfb6a342
Is there a way we can migrate these Users password to directory Server as-is so that they don't end up facing the prospect of resetting post migration.
I have done some of the initial ground work but seems to be missing other critical info if at all it's possible.
I believe it's possible to have CRYPT password policy (which directory server uses from underlying OS) as one of the plug-ins to configure in a way that underlying CRYPT utility starts to process/provide/support MD5 hashes. I got it to work, my using the below command on DSEE instance:
dsconf set-plugin-prop -p 389 CRYPT argument:'$md5$'
But for some reasons the MD5 hash (Sun MD5 library) provides does not match with the original hash value. It's 22 char long (as I have not specified any salt length) so I am assuming it's Base64 encoded. I have a perl script which converts the original 32-digit hex values to a base64 encoded representation (which I have also verified with other open source tools)
Is there a way I can tweak CRYPT utility or something so that it understands typical standard MD5 hashes. (Confused between Sun MD5 and BSD (Linux) MD5 - none of them seems to match standard MD5 generated value).
Any leads on this would be really helpful ?

Just to reclarify or throw more information:
a password - cleartext value - testuser1 has 32-digit HEX value as - 41da76f0fc3ec62a6939e634bfb6a342
Same password when converted to Base64 pattern becomes - Qdp28Pw+xippOeY0v7ajQg==
But when I use pwdhash utility in DSE after configuring CRYPT to use MD5 hashes it becomes -
{crypt}$md5$$LiB/H70zXr3xfQPoXVuUQ1
I used below command :
pwdhash -D /opt/SUNWdsee/dsee6/ds6/slapd-oha-dev -s CRYPT testuser1
Actual hash value of pwdhash is -LiB/H70zXr3xfQPoXVuUQ1 with rest of the prefix is to meet RFC standard and salt and algo name separator.
I am wondering if Sun MD5 default uses any salt even when I haven't used or DS does it. Or if any other MD5 option is there which can be used.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Errors upload Apps through Application Loader

Trying to upload App through Applicatio loader had have never received these errors til 2 days ago. Same error on two different app uploads. I'm running the latest application loader version 2.9 and Mac 10.7.5. Using iMac 24" with 4 gb of ram
First errors i received are

if you mac os is not 10.8.5 and you ard using Application Loader 2.9,you should update your system,I know apple doc say:10.7 is ok,but i update my system to 10.8.5 from 10.8.4, every thing is ok, i dont konw the reason,maybe some error exist at application loader,so you can have a try,good luck.

Should i use secure sockets for my whole client/server application?

Hi,
I have a client server application, and I want to ensure that the login process is secure (i.e. use secure sockets). but I dont know how to switch back to a normal socket once that is done.
So I am left thinking that i should just use SSL for my whole application, which can last pretty long. But I would rather not. Is there any other way of doing this?
or should I just encrypt the login info using MD5 or something like that, then send it over an unsecure socket?
thanks!

Hey,
Are you sure you haven't confused JGSS for JSSE?
Imagine you have a client-server system and you sometimes want data sent over the wire to be encrypted... JGSS offers you this flexibility; if you a encrypted transmission, run ift through JGSS before transmitting it; if you don't want an encrypted transmission, bypass JGSS and just send the transmission.
The benefit is the security (encryption) isn't hard-wired into you communications protocol i.e. TLS. JGSS has nothing to do with connections it is just protocol for securing messages, not sending them.
You would need to establish the secure context but this could be done at startup and persist for the duration of you applicaiton invocation. You perhaps might need to implement a mechanism to identify encrypted messages on the receiving peer (so it knows to attempt decryption).
Admittedly, kerberos seems like one of those 'inside-joke' things. I've come to realise if you don't have some sort of kerberos realm/server against which to authenticate - you need to swap it out as the underlying mechanism. How this is done I'm not sure yet, but I intend to find out today....further down the rabbit hole I go!
If I discover anything helpful, I will let you know.
Warm regards,

OIM DB Application Table (for oracle 10g db) reconciliation problem

I want to reconcile my oracle database table into OIM. My table name in the db is called SD_EMPLOYEE and following is the fields.
     StaffID VARCHAR2(10),
     EmpID VARCHAR2(6),
     IDType VARCHAR2(20),
     IDNum VARCHAR2(20),
     EmpName VARCHAR2(255),
     EmpType VARCHAR2(20),
     EmpStatus VARCHAR2(10),
     LocID VARCHAR2(10),
     DeptID VARCHAR2(10),
     JobID VARCHAR2(10),
     JoinDate DATE,
     ConfirmedDate DATE,
     Confirmed VARCHAR2(2),
     ResignDate DATE,
     LoginID VARCHAR2(100),
     DomainName VARCHAR2(50),
     Email VARCHAR2(100),
     MobileNo VARCHAR2(10),
     ExtensionNo VARCHAR2(10),
     Xchange VARCHAR2(100),
     MovementType VARCHAR2(20),
     PrevMovementType VARCHAR2(20),
     MovementStatus VARCHAR2(10),
     MovementEffDate DATE,
     MovementDetail VARCHAR2(255)
However, I'm not sure how should I modify my oraApp2.xml file so that I can reconcile my SD_EMPLOYEE data into OIM and create the users. I'm not sure what it means by <xdb_app_map ... >.

Anyone can help?

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your info.
Just to make things clearer. Im doing a trusted recon. I have the below.
1) For the IT resource,
a) Application Name: this should be the same with the application name I put in the
XML file right? I have put it as testapp1.
b) Database user ID: this is the user which have the access to the table I want to
reconciled into OIM?
2) For resource object,
a) I'm currently using the "Database Application Resource" which has all predefined
fields like xel_usr_id. However, in the reconciliation action rules, I can't select the option of "create user" when "no matches found". Thus, can I use the "xellerate user" resource object for the DB Application Table connector?
3) Table to reconcile into OIM:
SD_Employee. The fields are EMPID, FNAME and LNAME.
In the OraApp2.xml file, I have the below:
<operation name = "create">
<task table_name = "DBRECON.SD_Employee" xeltask_type = "insert">
<column
col_name = "EMPID"
data_type = "VARCHAR2"
data_typ_size = "20"
col_info = "primary"
required = "true"
col_type = "xellerate"
xel_data_source = "xel_usr_id"/>
<column
col_name = "FNAME"
data_type = "VARCHAR2"
data_typ_size = "60"
required = "true"
col_type = "xellerate"
xel_data_source = "xel_usr_first_name"/>
<column
col_name = "LNAME"
data_type = "VARCHAR2"
data_typ_size = "60"
required = "true"
col_type = "xellerate"
xel_data_source = "xel_usr_last_name"/>
Am I doing the right thing here? As I still can't get the records in the SD_EMployee table to reconciled into OIM.
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
GBHL
