Oidadmin utility

I'm running the oidadmin utiltiy on solrais but when I try to log into the server I get a "server is not up and running oiddev1/389" error. I started the oidmon and oidctl. When I grep for the processes I get back:
root 17027 17011 0 14:59:25 pts/1 0:00 oidldapd connect=oiddev1 -i 1 -conf 0
root 17031 1 0 14:59:26 pts/1 0:01 oidldapd
root 17011 1 0 14:57:34 pts/1 0:00 oidmon connect=oiddev1 sleep=10 start
any ideas on when I can't run tha admin tool? is it something with the listener/tnsnames?

never mind I fingered it out....in server name you need to add the hostname not the oracle database...duhhh

Integrating Oracle Applications with Siteminder for SSO.

We currently have a Oracle Apps implementations with Oracle 9iAS as Application server. We are planning to integrate it in SSO using Netegrity Siteminder.
Please let me know your thoughts on the following
1) Additional softwares or patches needed to be applied at Oracle Application Server level before integrating with Siteminder. Do we need to install Oracle SSO seprately or does it come as part of Oracle 9iAS.
2) Also how will we implement SSO using siteminder without OID.
Any documents on it will help.

The Netegrity Siteminder Webagent will authenticate to some third party, probably the corporate LDAP. Using Oracle SSO (OSSO) is required and a java plugin needs to be customized. See:
Oracle® Application Server Single Sign-On Administrator's Guide
10g Release 2 (10.1.2) < I know different version but doesn't matter
B14078-02
Specifically Chapter - 13 Integrating with Third-Party Access Management Systems. That is a minor task.
Loading OID is a prerequisite and needs to contain the users that will need access to the protected resources in the environment. If it's a small amount of users, manually maintaining OID may not be a big deal utilizing OIDDAS but if it is a large amount, then this effort is a big deal. Big deal meaning a load utilizing the bulkload utility and a custom job that syncronizes the "Corporate LDAP" with OID. Mapping is important. External dependancy with the "Corporate LDAP" folks.
Another couple of important things to consider:
1. The seeded users in OID, such as orcladmin will most likely not be in the "Corporate LDAP" so once Netegrity Simplified Sign On (SSO) comes into play, those users are locked out. Orcladmin is a superuser in OIDDAS. For that reason, server administrators or DBA's that are in OID need to be granted OIDDAS privileges prior to enabling the Netegrity agent to prevent being locked out of that important but sensative tool. Disabling and re-enabling SSO is as simple as editing 2 config files and bouncing a few things though.
2. The OIDDAS Password lockout policy will start locking users after 60 days with no warning unless changed. If oidadmin gets locked, the fix is Note:251354.1. Very important to change the policy since it will be handled by the "Corporate LDAP". Note:251354.1 covers this. Basically using the oidadmin utility, change the "Password Expiry Time" from the default 5184000 to zero "0" which turn off the policy.
The realms that should be protected on the Netegrity policy server are both infrastructure. 7777/oiddas and 7777/sso need to be protected realms on the policy server. If you have a protected application going to mid-tier applications like 7778/discoverer/viewer, they get redirected to the infrastructure 7777/sso because if the directive in mod_osso.conf. Forms will be protected by the 7777/sso realm as well. On the Netegrity Policy Server, unprotected sub-realms can be created under protected realms.
The custom java plugin tells Oracle to trust the "Corporate LDAP" for authentication but authorization can still be performed within OID.
This all sounds difficult but it is really simple. The only part than can get difficult and time consuming is the OID load. Hopefully you get Siteminder DAS access to administer your realms on the Policy server.
Hope this helps! - Ron

How do I access the web utility with model cisco sf302-08p ?

Hi,i have a problem with the model Cisco SB SF302-08PP Switch , i connect a cable rj45 to my pc and configure the adapter local area connection (ip address:192.168.1.252), the LEDs blink green, and go to the address bar and get the IP by default, which according to the manual is 192.168.1.254 and the result is: page not found. Is there any way to change the web utility? How do I access the web utility?

restore the switch by holding more than 30 seconds and try accessing with ip 192.168.1.254. username and password is "cisco". before change your base ip to 192.168.1.2-253.try to ping and check the connectivity

RBACx Encrypted Password Change Utility

Hi all,
In the OIA/SRM installation guide, there is a reference to a tool, to find out the password of rbacxservice.
"Oracle Identity Analytics utilizes an encrypted password when communicating with the database.
To change the default database password, use the RBACx Encrypted Password Change Utility"
Could you please help me finding out this tool.
Many thanks in advance.
Warm regards,
Manipradeep Sunku.

The mentioned tool only encrypts the password so that you don't have to store a plain text password in the config file. It does not decrypt it. The default rbacxservice password is rbacxservice.
The tool does not come with the OIA/SRM distribution so if you need it, you will need to contact support.

Studio 12.1 Performace Analyzer 7.7 problem, with 'er_print' utility.

I am having a minor but nagging problem with a regression in the er_print utility of the Sun Performance Analyzer suite bundled in Studio 12. is there maybe a patch available or in the works?
I have not had any success in finding a resolution by searching the open literature
The issue is that the callers-callees listing only dumps functions in alphabetical order, ignoring the sort order specified by sort. This is a regression from the Performance Analyzer (7.4) behavior from Sun Studio 10. We only recently jumped to studio 12.1.
This functionality is documented here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/821-0304/afaid?a=view (as well as many other references). To quote:
callers-callees
Print the callers-callees panel for each of the functions, in the order specified by the function sort metric (sort)."
I use a script input to er_print that in the past analyzed the top N functions sorted on inclusive thread time. Now I have to be sure to dump ALL functions and need a third-party search tool to find that information in the resulting report.
Has anyone heard of this problem or are there Performance Analyzer patch(es) available. I saw some for 7.6 and another for unspecified but have not seen this problem in patch notices.
Thanks.
Regards,
Steve

Nik, thanks for taking a look. We can't go to 12.2 because we're a software developer and we'll lose our binary compatibility with the release we've been building for the last few months. I'm a systems guy and will paste in a developer's example below.
Note Marc's url shows a 12.1 Performance Analyzer patch 142369-01 we have not yet installed. The patch notice description doesn't show much. I'll pass on patch info to remote user/developer.
Developer example:
I use a script input to er_print that in the past analyzed the top N functions sorted on inclusive thread time. Now I have to be sure to dump ALL functions and need a third-party search tool to find that information in the resulting report.
Heres a shortened (only 4) example of the behavior Im seeing the focus of the functions in callers-callees are NOT those of the functions determined by the sort metric.

USB Enhanced Performance Keyboard utility crash

USB Enhanced Performance Keyboard (Wired) : skd881x daemon has stopped working
What I'm getting here is a consistent crash of the OSD / button management daemon (Skdaemon.exe) on a standard french Vista 32bit install. This might be a duplicate of this unresolved problem, although the OS is 32 bit here.
I can reproduce the crash easily by using either one of the Volume+, Volume- or Mute buttons at any time as long as the Play/Pause button has never been pressed before. If I start the daemon, choose "Play/Pause" (the indication "Play/Pause" appears in the OSD), then the instance of the daemon will never crash afterwards and I will be able to use the volume buttons until the next reboot.
I have tried :
using the keyboard configuration tool to change most of the settings,
clean uninstalling/reinstalling the (latest) driver and utility,
looking up for a solution elsewhere,
to no avail.
I would appreciate any pointer to resolve that annoying problem.
EDIT : updated the title so it appears more explicit from the forum view

I know that bumping my own thread is not really a display of gentleman's manners, but I would like to know if there is a way to reach lenovo directly, at least to make the company aware of this annoying bug (which does seem to be recurrent). I can't seem to find it as I'm lost in the endless cross-references between lenovo and IBM support pages, and a part of the online support doesn't seem to be available in France

Error while deploying a web service whose return type is java.util.Date

Hi
I have written a simple web service which takes in a date input (java.util.Date) and returns the same date back to the client.
public interface Ping extends Remote
* A simple method that pings the server to test the webservice.
* It sends a datetime to the server which returns the datetime.
* @param pingDateRequest A datetime sent to the server
* @returns The original datetime
public Date ping(Date pingDateRequest) throws RemoteException;
The generation of the Web service related files goes smoothly in JDeveloper 10g. The problem arises when I try to deploy this web service on the Oracle 10g (10.0.3) OC4J standalone. it gives me the following error on the OC4J console :
E:\Oracle\oc4j1003\j2ee\home\application-deployments\Sachin-TradingEngineWS-WS\
WebServices\com\sachin\tradeengine\ws\Ping_Tie.java:57: ping(java.util.Date) in com.sachin.tradeengine.ws.Ping cannot be applied to (java.util.Calendar) _result = ((com.sachin.tradeengine.ws.Ping) getTarget()).ping
(myPing_Type.getDate_1());

I read somewhere that the conversion between java to xml datatype and vice versa fails for java.util.Date, so it is better to use java.util.Calendar. When I change the code to return a java.util.Calendar then the JDeveloper prompts me the following failure:
Method Ping: the following parameter types do not have an XML Schema mapping and/or serializer specified : java.util.Calendar.
This forces me to return a String data.
I would appreciate if someone can help me out.
Thanks

Hi
I got the web service working with some work around. But I am not sure it this approach would be right and good.
I started altogether afresh. I did the following step :
1. Created an Interface (Ping.java) for use in web Service as follows :
public interface Ping extends Remote{
public java.util.Date ping(java.util.Date pingDateRequest)
throws RemoteException;
2. Implemented the above interface in PingImpl.java as follows :
public class PingImpl implements Ping
public java.util.Date ping(java.util.Date pingDateRequest) throws RemoteException {
System.out.println("PingImpl: ping() return datetime = " + pingDateRequest.toString());
return pingDateRequest;
3. Compiled the above 2 java files.
4. Generated a Stateless Java Web Service with the help of JDeveloper. This time the generation was sucessful.(If I had "java.util.Calendar" in place of "java.util.Date" in the java code of the above mentioned files the web service generation would prompt me for error)
5. After the generation of Web Service, I made modification to the Ping interface and its implementing class. In both the files I replaced "java.util.Date" with "java.util.Calendar". The modified java will look as follows :
Ping.Java
=========
public interface Ping extends Remote{
public java.util.Calendar ping(java.util.Calendar pingDateRequest)
throws RemoteException;
PingImpl.Java
================
public class PingImpl implements Ping
public java.util.Calendar ping(java.util.Calendar pingDateRequest) throws RemoteException {
System.out.println("PingImpl: ping() return datetime = " + pingDateRequest.toString());
return pingDateRequest;
6. Now I recompile both the java files.
7. Withour regenerating the Web Service I deploy the Web Service on OC4j 10.0.3 from JDeveloper. This time the deployment was sucessful.(The Deployment fails if I don't follow the step 5.)
8. Now I generated a Stub from JDeveloper and accessed the stub from a client. It works fine. Here if you see the Stub code it takes java.util.Date as a parameter and returns a java.util.Date. (Mind you I am accepting a java.util.Calendar and returning the same in my Web Service interface. Step 5)
The confusing thing is the Serialization and Deserialization of Data from Client java data to Soap message and Soap message to Server java data.
From Client to SOAP :
java.util.Date to datetime
From SOAP to Server :
datetime to java.util.Calendar
From Server to SOAP :
java.util.Calendar to datetime
From SOAP to Client :
datetime to java.util.Date (I am not able to understand this part of the conversion)
Any help or inputs would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have 3 older ext. hard drives that I've utilized many times. Today while searching for old files, one of the three is no longer recognized by my PowerMac. The drive is not listed in Disk Utility. Any suggestions?

Is the computer in you equipment line:
Dual Core Intel Xenon
(which is not a PowerMac but a Mac Pro) the one you are asking about, or do you have an older PowerMac?
If a Mac Pro, their forums are here:
Mac Pro
and, as Mac Pros have a totally different architecture from the pre-2005 Macs this forum covers, you may not have the same issues that can affect the older models. If someone didn't notice your equipment line, you could get advice that doesn't apply.
If you really have a pre-2005 PowerMac, read on.
If the stubborn external is USB and does not have its own power brick (i.e., it gets power only from the computer's UBS ports--"bus powered"), it may not be getting enough power. As electric motors age, they can demand more power than when new, and the power available on any USB port is limited.
The typical workabouts to making a computer recognize an aging, bus-powered USB drive are:
Get a powered USB hub (has its own power brick
Get a "Y" USB cable: 1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
The second gets power from two USB ports on the computer and often that's enough.
Remember that the USB ports on your keyboard seldom provide enough power even for a thumb drive, so be sure to use the USB ports on the back of the computer.

I tried to forward public port 1025 to private port 80 on a raspberry pi using airport utility. But after I did that, the airport utility can no longer see my time capsule. Wifi still works correctly. Are there any conflicts about port 1025? How to fix that other than resetting the time capsule?
Thanks,
Michael

It doesn't sound like a port that is used.
From the standard google search.. nope.
Reboot the whole network..
No luck tell me what OS version you are running the utility on and what model and firmware TC???
Note with Yosemite, anything can and will happen.

I have a PowerMac G4 running ProTools that no longer boots up. All I get is a file folder on the screen with a flashing question mark in it. Ran the Utility disk and all systems passed. Any ideas?

You need to use the computer's install disks to repair the hard drive or install a new OS.

IPod not recognized by iTunes & Disk Utility - Recognized by System Profile

I have a 40GB iPod Clickwheel (4th Gen?) that i'm trying to fix back to life since my mini was just stolen and i'm out on the road on tour all the time. my iPod actually powers up by itself just fine, the battery life is just peachy, and it can run independently without songs (i'm able to look around just as though i had songs on there - i can play games, alter settings, etc etc.).
However, there's a few things i've noticed!
When i go to the iPod's about menu (when disconnected from the computer), it shows there's no songs, that there's 0 capacity, 0 available - shows that the version is 3.1.1, the serial and model numbers, but the format is unknown.
I've tried plugging the dang thing into my computer to much avail - IF iTunes recognizes it, it says it needs to be restored -- GREAT! so i try to restore the iPod, however, i almost instantly get an error: The iPod cannot be restored because it is currently busy. When i clicked the help tag, it says it's a common problem in iTunes 7.0 - great, i have 8.0.2; and i've tried running everything from a restart on the ipod to a restart on the computer, updating all my system files, running the iPod in disk mode, etc, but nothing seems to make it want to restore.
when i look in system profiler; it shows that the iPod is hooked up to my USB port (which is just fine, and i've never had problems running a click-wheel iPod through that before); however both Disk Utility and iTunes do not acknowledge it's existence. what gives?
is my iPod a goner? how would i go about restoring this so i can use it? I've tried it on my Power PC (Specs below) as well as trying it on an iBook and iMac; with the same results every time. i know it's not the cable, because the iPod actually charged via that cable last night!
any help!?

If you can get it to show up in Disk Utility, try reformatting (erasing) it in Disk Utility. If that process completes without stalling or errors, quit Disk Utility and run iTunes. Immediately attempt to do another Restore to install the iPod's software and initialize.
If the iPod does not erase successfully (it should take less than one minute for a standard erase) in Disk Utility, the iPod's hard drive may be faulty.

HP Laserjet utility starts and fails to go away after print job

I have an HP Laserjet 1300 hooked to an Airport base station. After the Leopard install (a default, Upgrade install from 10.4.10), I had to re-ADD that printer in the Print & FAX Preferences panel -- it wasn't simply remembered. That went fine, and printing works as expected.
EXCEPT: The HP Laserjet 1300 "utility" application (for managing the print queue) now activates with each print job -- not just when there is a problem such as "out of paper" as before. No problems are actually reported during or after the print job. And when the print job finishes, it doesn't go away. I have to manually Quit it.
I can't find any option to have the "utility" activate only when it has some problem to report (i.e., the way it worked under Tiger), or to make it go away automatically when all print jobs are finished. Any suggestions?
NOTE: When ADDing the printer in the Print & FAX utility, it did go looking for "new drivers", but didn't announce it found or installed anything new.

Thank you. That's what I was looking for:
Right click on the printer utility icon in the dock when you see it still sitting in there. Select "Auto Quit" from the pop up menu. Click on the utility to select it and open its queue window. Manually quit the utility.
After those steps it appears the utility now activates in the dock and then goes away after each print job that finishes normally.
Solved!

"HP laserjet professional utility" does not work in osx 10 (Yosemite)

All the major functions of this printer work fine in Yosemite, but not the "HP laserjet professional utility"The driver shown in System Preferences/Printer for my Laserjet P1606dn is version 6.9 (I am unable to knowif this is the version provided by the latest HP printer update, which was installed via the App Store.) I note this exact issue was raised for OSX7 in November 2014, but for a diiferent model printer. My printer is on my local wifi network, and that earlier case seemed to invove a direct USB connection. The solution offered in that thread, 4694464,may not be applicable now, so I seek advice In the panel for my 1606dn within System Preferences/Printer offers a button to launch the "HP Professional Utility", but when clicked an app launches called the "HP Professional Utility" but then nothing. I am trying to access the printer controls that will keep it from turning itself off when idle, and the documentation says the "HP Professional Utility" will allow that change. Please advise

Hey , Welcome to the HP forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here. I see that you are having some issues with adjusting the power save mode settings on your Laserjet P1606dn. I can help with that. First make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector. If the printer is connected with an ethernet cable to a router then you may be able to do this instead:On the printer hold down the button that looks like a sheet of paper with an arrow on it for about ten seconds. This should print out a report.On your Mac open a browser and enter the printer's IP Address in your Address bar exactly as it appears on the page. When you are finished click on enter/return.This will open the printer's Embedded Web Server. In here you may be able to find some options to adjust the power save settings.If the above does not work then this troubleshooting may assist you with the utility:Go to Applications, and if you have it open the Hewlett-Packard folder.Run HP Uninstaller to remove any existing software from you system.On the Mac go to the Apple icon and Sytem Preferences.Open Printers and Scanners.Hold down the Command key and click on the picture of your printer on the left.Click on Reset Printing System.Go to Applications and Utilities.Open Disk Utility.Click on Macintosh HD on the left.Click on Verify Disk Permissions. This should take about ten minutes.Click on Repair Disk Permissions. This should take about ten minutes.Restart your Mac.Plug in the USB cable between the printer and the router.Check for Product Updates on your Mac.Try running the tool again.If this resolves everything please let others know by clicking on Accept as Solution below my post.
I hope this helps and I hope you have a great day!

Problem with HP Printer Utility and Mac OSX 10.5.4

I have a problem with HP printer Utility. When a standard user adds a new paper profile HP Printer Utility asks to type an administrator's name and password to allow HP printer Utility to make changes. Is it possible to avoid this? Otherwise I have to give admin rights to every user because they have to be able to add new papers. HP printer Utility sharing and permisssions are set to read and write to everyone.

MacOSX 10.5.4 (Mac pro intel)
HP printer utility 3.6.0.
