Operating System Authentication in Windows

Hi gururs,
How to turn on Operating System Authentication in NQSConfig.ini file?
I could not find it in the documentation.
Thanks
Laszlo

Hi John,
Thanks the link.
However, I want to use OS authentication (I mean Windows) and I guess I can do it without SSO authentication.
Simply, what about if I don't have SSO environment?

Operating System Authentication (OBIEE 10g)

I am trying to find out how to enable operating system authentication, but cannot figure which AUTHENTICATION_TYPE to enable in NQSConfig.INI:
#AUTHENTICATION_TYPE = NQS; // optional and default
#AUTHENTICATION_TYPE = DATABASE;
#AUTHENTICATION_TYPE = BYPASS_NQS;
When operating system authentication is enabled, user connecting to BI server should not type a user ID or password at the logon prompt. If a user enters a user ID and (optionally) a password at the logon prompt, that user ID and password overrides the operating system authentication and Oracle BI Server performs the authentication.
Appreciate any help on this!

What you want is possible but not trivial. You are obviously completely lost as the settings you refer to have nothing to do with that. Start by reading this thread:

My computer has had a new operating system put on Windows 7 but I did not de-authorise my old computer which was Windows Vista and now I cannot sync my Ipod Classic as it keeps saying I have exceeded my maximum of 5 computers being authorised.

My computer has had a new operating system put on (Windows 7) but I did not de-authorise my old computer which was Windows Vista and now I cannot sync my Ipod Classic as it keeps saying I have exceeded my maximum of 5 computers being authororized. I tried doing this via my account in the Itunes Store but it still won't allow me to do this. Can anyone help?

Contact Apple customer support, they can reset your authorizations.

Operating System authentication

Hi,
I have a question about Operating System authentication:
How can I find out the OSDBA and OSOPER groups after I installed Oracle?
Is there any data dictionary view to find out this groups.
I run Oracle 9.2 on Sun Solaris and want to change from password file authentication to operating system authentication.
Thanks for your help
Bernahdr

If they exist they will be in the file /etc/groups. If not, they need to be created by your sys admin.

Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware

Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware please help

That is incorrect. You can install Windows on a Mac, any Mac, without having OS X installed on it.
To the OP you will need the original system reinstall USB thumb drive that came with your Mac Air if it is older than a Mid 2011 model or if it is newer than a Mid 2011 model you use the Online Internet recovery system.
If you don't have that original reinstall USB thumb drive you can order one from Apple for a small charge. Call Apple and ask to speak to someone Specifically to order a Replacement USB system reinstall thumb drive for your model year. You will need the serial number of that Air. It is etched into the bottom of the case.

Operating System authenticated Oracle account

Hi all,
Can i use the oracle built-in account "APPS" as the Operating System authenticated Oracle account? If I have an UNIX account "apps", then can i just alter user apps and set it to externally? Or I will need to create a new OPS$apps database account? Will there any conflict between the account apps and OPS$apps?
Thank you!

Can i use the oracle built-in account "APPS" as the Operating System authenticated Oracle account?
Yes
If I have an UNIX account "apps", then can i just alter user apps and set it to externally?
Yes.
I will need to create a new OPS$apps database account?
Yes, if your initialization parameter 'OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX' is set to 'OPS$'. Note that this parameter could be set to null. Also note that the text of the 'OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX' parameter is case sensitive on some operating systems.
Will there any conflict between the account apps and OPS$apps?
If the initialization parameter 'OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX' is set to 'OPS$', there are now two different Oracle users.
They are 'APPS' and 'OPS$APPS'. The following link will provide you a lot of information on authentication.

If I were you, I would try it on a development/test
system before implementing it in production.

Unfortunately, no there is no known native way of upgrading the Palm OS to a Windows OS on the Lifedrive device, unless there's a third party company/ or application that are available to change the functionality.

Connection from jdbc or sqlj using operating system authentication

Is it possible to use the operating system authentication to connect to oracle which is on the same box from jdbc or sqlj??
Any help is appreciated

You can logon using external credentials with the oci driver by passing in null's as username and password.

Jdbc operating system authentication

Is it only possible to use operating system authentication for jdbc connections (thin/oci) with an oracle11g database ?
Is it possible to use operating system authentication for jdbc connections with earlier versions of oracle ?
Thanks, Seb

Seb,
As far as I am aware, you cannot use operating system authentication for JDBC connections in all versions up to and including 10g.
I have not used Oracle 11g, so I don't know about that version.
Good Luck,
Avi.

Renaming files with invalid characters in their names on NTFS partitions, introduced by operating systems other than Windows

Essentially, Linux created some files with colons (:) in the name on a NTFS partition where I have Windows installed. I have since uninstalled Linux, but now I can only view these files in Windows Explorer. I can't open them, I can't even rename them to
correct the problem. It's as if they don't exist, because of the invalid search paths.
If I try to rename them in Windows Explorer I get following message.
The file name you specified is no valid or too long.
Specify a different file name.
Well isnt' that something?... isn't that nice? Windows is able to display these files, but it doesn't allow me to open them and it certainly doesn't like me to rename them. So why is it whining about it then, when I'm trying to help? It says "try a different
file name". Yeah, right! Like I haven't tried that one already! It doesn't matter what file name I input it will never accept it.
So what am I supposed to do now? Ditch Windows and go back to Linux? Surely, Microsoft doesn't like the sound of that. Sure, I could reinstall Linux or run a Linux live system to correct the problem. But what good is Windows then? I might as well switch to
Linux altogether.
After doing some research I now know by fact that it's (kind of) possible to rename files from UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems to those compliant with Windows by using something called file name character translation. To some level this is essential and
necessary for Windows interoperability with other operating systems (Windows is not the only operating system in the world). But this seems to be very complicated and I can't get my head around it. My brain is in overload. I don't know where to start.
Once there was a...
There's the Windows Services for UNIX (SFU) 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5. The first two versions were based on MKS Toolkit, a package licensed by Microsoft from MKS Inc. The later versions were based on the similar Interix product, after Microsoft purchased the company
that made it.
Then there's the new Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications (SUA). These are services for UNIX components. They are supposed to have Client for NFS v3 included as well. But the server components from the SFU line is missing (e.g. Server for NFS). These are included
in Server editions of Windows.
Then there's the Microsoft Knowledge Base article
289627: "How to Enable File Name Character Translation". This article seems to describe exactly my situation.
Windows and UNIX operating systems have restrictions on valid characters that can be used in a file name. The list of illegal characters for each operating system, however, is different. For example, a UNIX file name can use a colon (:), but a Windows
file name cannot use a colon (:). If a UNIX user attempts to create a file with a Windows illegal character on a Windows Services for UNIX network file system (NFS) share, the attempt is unsuccessful and the UNIX client computer receives an input or output
error.
It goes further than that. At first glance, this KB article also seems to offer a solution to this exact problem, with examples as shown below.
For example, the following maps the UNIX colon (:) to a Windows dash (-):
0x3a : 0x2d ; replace client : with - on server
I checked these values in charmap.exe and they are correct. Except for 2D not being a "dash", it's rather a hyphen ("hyphen minus" to be exact), but these two have pretty much the same appearance and they get interchanged a lot, I'm sure
they are used to it by now. (Yes, the characters! They don't mind.)
Then there's this registry key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Server For NFS\CurrentVersion\Mapping
Well, of course, I don't have Server for NFS. So this is a dead end. Well, actually, it was a dead end from the beginning...
1. First of all, I'm not working with a network share on a NAS or SAN storage. The files are on the local disk drive where Windows is installed, so that's a DAS for you.
2. I don't have SFU! Well obviously, I'm on Windows Vista! So that means SUA!
3. SUA are service components only. No server components. Can you guess what that means? Yeah... no "Server for NFS" since it's a server component.
4. Windows Vista is a client side operating system! Server for NFS is only offered for use with Windows Server systems.
5. Back to square one!
So there you have it. They all lived happy for the rest of their lives...
I'm stuck here. Can someone tell me what to do? I mean beyond the obvious option to use Linux to fixa a Windows problem? The NTFS file system itself supports colons in file names. It's Windows that doesn't, and so by default it proclaims it invalid character.
Surely, even a Windows client operating system like Windows Vista should be able to allow the user to at least rename files with invalid characters to something more sensible (from the system point of view) and valid, if not being able to open them as they
are. Just add some crazy voodoo code to it and it will work. If you can make it possible on Windows Server with UNIX user-mode subsystem on NT kernel, then what's stopping you from giving the Windows client system the same benefit?
So what now? Purchase a Windows Server 2012 R2 license, copy my invalid files to a NAS share with NFS on a UNIX or Linux system, and have a go at the Windows registry and Server for NFS? Yeah... you're right, it's probably a bit over the top...
On a second thought... I might as well install Linux again. There are countless situations where Linux has helped me solve problems related to, and more often than not caused by Windows.

Which operating system: Linux or Windows Server 2003?

Hi,
it doesn't matter which operating system we install an our server.
What are your experience with Linux and Windows?
Which System do you recommend regarding performance issues?
best regards
Felix

Linux has a higher per process memory limit. The fmscore process can use up to 2 GB on Windows and up to 3 GB on Linux.
The performance increases in Flash Media Server 3.5 are roughly equivalent on Linux and Windows.

Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client Operating System Authentication

Hi.
I am trying to get OSA to work with Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client, is this not supported?
I get the following Error: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Here are some of the variations of connection string, I have been testing with.
Data Source=BLA.BLA.COM;
Data Source=BLA.BLA.COM;User Id=/;
Data Source=BLA.BLA.COM;Integraded Security=SSPI;
Data Source=BLA.BLA.COM;Trusted Connection=True;
Data Source=BLA.BLA.COM;User Id=/;Integraded Security=SSPI;
Data Source=BLA.BLA.COM;User Id=/;Trusted Connection=True;
Integrated Security and Trusted Connection gives me, unknown or illegal connection string attribute errors.
My first assumption would be that my Operating System Account doesn't have access to the Oracle Database I am trying to log on to.
But I am fully capable of connecting to the database with OSA with sqlplus, sqldeveloper and toad.
Can somebody explain to me why this isn't working? And what I may do to fix it?
It may be worth mentioning that I am trying to use the 12c x86 ODP.NET Managed Provider, against 11g/11.2 Oracle Databases.

That's correct. Kerberos is not currently supported by managed ODP.NET. We are working to support this feature, but don't have an ETA on when it will be available.
What company or organization is requesting this feature?
I believe there's an open feature request for Kerberos support in the Oracle .NET Feature Request Tool. Fee free to add your vote to this request.

Operating System Package Section Window is blank for Task Sequence

Trying to create a capture and build sequence. I have added Win7 x64 to the 'Operating System Installers' section. But when going into 'Create Task Sequence' I dont have any operating systems to select. (see screenshot).
Only info I found on the web references to beta versions of SCCM 2012. I added server is SCCM 2012 R2 Update 1. (version 5.00.7958.1000).
Any Suggestions?

During the Create Task Sequence Wizard, this step requires to use a
Operating System Image (a WIM file) and not a Operating System Installer.
An Operating System Installer can only be used by editing the task sequence after the wizard.
