OpenSSO 8 configurator error due to special characters in password

We got the same AMSetupServlet StringIndexOutOfBoundsException described in thread 5356908 when running the GUI configurator in OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Update 1 Patch 1.
As in that posting, the error was caused by a special character in the password ($ in this case).
So it seems that the fixes mentioned by kujalli didn't address this issue.

Hello All,
the second issue is resolved as i replaced some other character and included the two necessary for me and the issue is solved.
For first issue, i found an OSS notes 173241, which says character # cannot be loaded alone. But the OSS notes is for version 3.1 and i am not sure whether the issue is fixed in 7.0 version

  • Error during data load due to special characters in source data

    Hi Experts,
    We are trying to load Billing data into the BW using the billing item datasource. It seems that there are some special characters in the source data. When the record with these characters is encountered, the request turns red and the package is not loaded even into the PSA. The error we get in the monitor is something like
    'RECORD 5028: Contents from field ****  cannot be converted into type CURR',
    where the field **** is a key figure of type currency. We managed to identify the said record in RSA3 on the source system and found that one of the fields contains some invalid (special) characters that show up as squares in RSA3. The data in the rest of the fields, including the fields mentioned in the error  looks correct.
    Our source system is a non-unicode system wheras the BW system is unicode enabled. I figure that the data in the rest of the fields are getting misaligned due to the presence of the invalid characters in the above field. This was confirmed when we unassigned the field with the special characters from the transfer rules and removed the source field from the transfer structure. After doing this the data was loaded successfully and the request turned green.
    Can anyone suggest a way to either filter out such invalid characters from the source data or make some settings in the BW systems such that the special characters are no longer invalid in the BW system? We cannot write code in the transfer rules because the data package does not even come into the PSA. Is there any other method to solve this problem?
    Regards,
    Ted

    Hi Thad,
    I was wondering, if system is unicode or non unicode that should not matter the amount and currency field . As currencies are defined by SAP and it is in pure English at least a currency code part of 3 Chars. 
    Could this because of some incosistency of data ??
    I would like to know for Which currency  had some special characters it it in that particular record ??
    Hope that helps.

  • XML Publisher report not printing excel output due to special characters

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a xml publisher report which should display the output in excel. But the program completes with a warning status and the output is displayed as XML instead of excel, with some errors "An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource " and i think these errors are due to the special characters(eg: city/province - A Coruña, Cáceres). If i give rownum < 10 in my query, where there are no such characters it works fine and i am getting an excel output.
    Tried changing the XML encoding and it doesn't help (both mentioned below)
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    Do anyone have a solution for this

  • Error while handling special characters ( and &) in Sender File adapter

    Dear All,
    Scenario: Third Party System --> (File adapter) SAP PI 7.1 (SP05) --> (Proxy) ECC
    We are receiving CSV file and no mapping is required in PI as all the processing is being done by third party tool. But we are receiving special characters like ',",>,< and & in the csv file.
    When we are using File Type as TEXT and File Encoding as ISO-8859-1 than we are getting error. We changed File Type to BINARY and than we are able to handle ',",> but having issue in handling < and &.
    Any idea how we can handle it.
    Please note trhere is no Mapping in SAP PI so cannot uise Java mapping.
    Thanks a lot
    Chanakya

    Hey,
    You can add ABAP Script in Receiver Proxy for eliminating or replacing with NULL or empty. Since you dont have mapping for formatting these kind of junks you can follow the above approach.
    Else, you can remove the junks at OS level while running a small script and make it available to PI.
    Or else, you need to create mapping for sender and recevier structure though it is same, then you add a very simple UDF for fine tune.
    Use this UDF
    Here a is the input value.
    String b = "";
    b = a.replaceAll(",", "0");
    b = a.replaceAll("@", "0");
    Like all the special characters you can take and replace with zero.
    return b;
    Thanx

  • Mapping error because of special characters

    Hello,
    We are extracting data from SAP system and sending it thru XI to 3rd party system (writing xml files on to file server).
    Now, because of presence of few special characters in the data, there is a mapping exception error in XI.
    The data which is causing the issue is "ABRANCENTRO   MEDIAÇÃO IMOBILIÁRIA".
    In SXMB_MONI, i see that this is failing is Request Message mapping step.
    We can not remove special characters as this is master data. How can i fix this issue?
    DO i need to use any modules in communication channel for this purpose?
    Any leads are highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Chandra

    Hi Chandra,
    an UDF cant help you assumedly coz that characters lead to "not wellformed" XML. Any parser would complain about that. So the PI parser would throw an error before executing the UDF.
    The question is: what does the receiver expect? You wrote you like to write xml files to a server. But if the XML is not wellformed, the receiver would not be able to parse them, and therefore usually not able to process them.
    If you really want to create such a file (not wellformed XML) you can create that with a not parsing mapping (ABAP or Java). So you map the message just with string operations. This is not very recommentable and only possible for very simple mapping cases.

  • BW Data Load error due to special char's

    Hi Experts,
    Our BW System is a Uni Code, Master data load din BW failed due to special chars, I corrected the field manually in PSA and loaded the
    data.
    But I would like to know the reason for failure.
    Issue for failure is term SOCIÉTÉGÉN…..My understanding its French and BW should accept it…why is it failing?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi User,
    The alphabet ' É ' which you have mentioned is a special Character.
    To avoid this failure in future , Please add  " É" this alphabet in RSKC t-code which would help to avoid
    special characters.
    Please revert in case you need any further details.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Error in parsing special characters

    We are getting the following error when we parse a clob with special characters like \226(- special dash char), \231(the "TM"-Trademark logo), \256(the "R"-Registered logo )
    "Invalid char in text" when the parser is loaded in the db.
    But when we tried to parse this xml file as a file input (parser is now outside the db), it parses the file fine and inserts the data into the db.
    We are wondering if there is a difference in parser parsing special characters between inside and outside the db.
    We are running xml parser version 2.0.2.7 and if this is a bug and being fixed in later version, is there a workaround for this version

    Please try our latest 9.0.1 version

  • Create / Alter user doesn't allow special characters in password

    When i try to change the password from say : vos1s05 to : vos1s05! i get the error message (missing or invalid option), i have used several special characters and all give the same error, is there a way to circumvent this, or will this be enabled in a new release ??

    A password is classified as an oracle identifier and must conform to the rules for indentifiers. To include special characters you need to enclose it in double quotes e.g. "vos1s05!"

  • Special characters in passwords

    Where can I get documentation for restrictions on passwords. Like what special characters can be used in
    passwords?
    Maximum length etc?

    Passwords follow the same rules as other identifiers in the database:
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/sql_elements9a.htm#27566
    That means:
    - not case sensitive
    - 1 to 30 characters long
    - no Oracle reserved word
    - no quotation marks
    - must begin with an alphabetic character
    - only alphanumeric characters, underscore (_), dollar sign ($), pound sign (#)

  • Special characters in password?

    In DS 5.2 what special characters or nonalphanumeric charaters are allowed in passwords? Are there any that I should not allow? And are there any that I should not allow in regards to other systems using the ldap for authentication?

    You are strongly encouraged to allow only 7bit ascii characters in the userPassword. The DS has a plug-in which will check for you to prevent 8 bit characters in passwords. It is called the 7bit checking plug-in or something like that. You have to tell it which suffixes you want to check, and tell it which attributes (probably just userPassword).

  • Yosemite doesn't recognize special characters in password when logging in

    Hi everyone,
    I installed Yosemite yesterday on my mid-2011 MBA and discovered that after restarting it, I was unable to log into it. First, I'd like to precise that I'm using a French keyboard, it could have an importance afterwards.
    The password I use for my account is quite complex and uses a special character. Until now, it worked perfectly, but I discovered that, on Yosemite, I have to type twice the special character and the one after, in order to get it worked. Otherwise, it acts like if I haven't typed these two.
    Also, this behavior is kind of weird because if I log out, I don't have the issue: it works perfectly. So the issue is just after a shut down/restart.
    The only way I could restart the first time was by using the tool made from Apple when you loose your password (pressing the power button until it shuts down). Once my laptop entered that mode, I could just type my current password and choose a new one. But still, I don't get why it works on every screen, except the one after a shut down/restart.
    I hope Apple could bring a quick fix for that because it's really annoying. Also, if someone gets the same issue, try to type twice the special character(s) and maybe the one(s) that is/are just after.
    Bye.

  • BIA Index creation error due to invalid characters

    Hi All,
    While creating BIA index on an Infocube the index creation process fails with the following message.
    Index for table '/BIC/SSPSEGTXT' is being processed
    A character set conversion is not possible.
    Parallel indexing process terminated (Task: '4')
    Turns out this field is a text field and has characters such as * and + in the description,which is causing this problem.
    How do I proceed with the index creation.
    Options I have are:
    a) Get rid of this field.. Impossible since there are a few queries that require this information.
    b) Run the Database scan tool RSI18N_Search to eliminate foreign characters ....but this does not work for me.
    Can anyone suggest some other option or a resolution to this problem. Or If anyone has prior experience of working with the program RSI18N_Search please let me know.
    Regards

    Venkat, Andres,
    You can try several things here;
    1) This is pretty ugly but in case you need a quick way around. Create another cube w/o that char, load all the data to that cube from the first cube, and start sending daily deltas to both cubes. Of course put the second cube to BWA
    2)  Delete the master data! When you try deleting the master data (a particular record or records that you identified), mostly you will find out that it's used in a transactional data(in ODS or Cube) therefore it will not allow you to delete those records, unless you delete the records from the cubes first, then try it again. OR you might be lucky that it's not stored in anycube and it will delete it right away!
    The right way is the second option, however when you delete data from cubes, ods, it will lock the cube + invalidate aggregates if you have + BWA indexes etc. You need to recreate them again. So try doing it in non-business hours or in your maintenance window.
    Cheers

  • Using SQLDriverConnect with special characters in password fails, same info with ODBC (Oracle instant client) works fine

    Hi,
    on a windows 2008 machine that has the Oracle instant client 11_1 installed (11.01.00.06) i am calling SQLDriverConnect in the following way:
    std::string str = "Driver={Oracle in instantclient11_1};Dbq=//10.10.101.66:1521/orcl;;Uid=myUser;pwd=a;b";
    odbcRc = SQLDriverConnect(hdbc, NULL, (SQLTCHAR*)str.c_str(), str.size(), (SQLTCHAR*)szConnStrOut, 1024, &cbConnStrOut, SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT)) == SQL_ERROR);
    as long as the password contains no special chars (namely semicolon) it works fine. but when I try to use special chars in the password It stops working, with an invalid username/password error.
    State: 28000 Native error: 1017 Message: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
    i tried different variations of adding " (\") over the password, over the entire pwd=a;b or braces { but nothing seems to work.
    the thing is that using ODBC works! what I did was:
    open ODBC, go to System DSN tab, add "Oracle in instantclient11_1", then fill the following information:
    Data source name: Anything
    TNS Service Name: //10.10.101.66:1521/orcl
    User ID: myUser
    then i press test connection, enter the password "a;b"
    and it works!
    I cannot figure out what's my problem.
    Thanks,
    Roy.

    I've created your test table in my Oracle database using this extra character and I'm able to describe it properly.
    SQL> desc test;
    Name Null? Type
    ATTIVITÀ VARCHAR2(40)
    My character set being used is:
    SQL> select * from v$nls_parameters;
    NLS_CHARACTERSET
    WE8ISO8859P15
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
    AL16UTF16
    NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS
    BYTE
    So as long as it doesn't work for you in your native Oracle database I don't think it would work with DG4ODBC. So yes, it would be best to log a service request so that the Oracle database support can check out the NLS issue.
    Edited by: kgronau on Sep 28, 2011 9:21 AM
    To be complete here the describe of the MySQL table native and using DG4ODBC:
    mysql> create table TEST (attività Varchar(40));
    Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
    mysql> desc TEST;
    ---------------------------------------------------+
    | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
    ---------------------------------------------------+
    | attività | varchar(40) | YES | | NULL | |
    ---------------------------------------------------+
    1 row in set (0.00 sec)
    SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0 Production on Wed Sep 28 09:20:17 2011
    SQL> desc "gateway"."TEST"@MYSQL_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_1122_DB;
    Name Null? Type
    attività VARCHAR2(80)
    So in general it should work.

  • Login screen will not accept special characters in password

    So, I have a domain account that has a password that contains the character created by pressing ctrl and Backspace key. I have found that if you attempt to type that character at the windows login screen, it will not recognize that. If you remote desktop
    to the pc from any version of windows, it will allow you to type in that character and logs in fine. If you went to change a local users password by using the Computer management mmc, it will allow you to enter that character.
    How is it possible that this was overlooked, and is there a likelihood of it being fixed?
    I'd like to point out that this occurs in windows 8.1 also. I have a large base of bilingual users that have Spanish and other characters in their passwords that have worked up until now.

    Hi,
    If i understand you correctly, you could not type the special character at the windows login screen in windows 8.1, but remote desktop could. Am i right?
    According to my test, the same result.
    So i think you could remote to the pc and change the password:
