Oracle user, password and admin privileges

Hi,
The "ReleaseNotes.pdf" document says:
- create the user account "oracle" with the password "oracle"...
Is the password "hardcoded" in oracle's scripts and one can't use another one? (I don't like the idea that anybody reading the documentation could login on my server)
- Set auto login for user "oracle"
Why such a setting? To simplify the install process?
- Enable OS X administrative privileges for user "oracle".
Is this setting only needed for the installation process or should the oracle user allway have administrative privileges?

These are not hard requirements. It is documented this
way to make installation process simple for first
time users.

Reset Password without Admin Privileges

I am using the latest APEX hosted via apex.oracle.com. I'm trying to create a 'forgot password' capability but it appears that every built-in apex utility that allows me to reset and/or update the password requires admin privileges. Is there any way to do this without having admin privileges? I'm using APEX Authentication.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Create an authentication function with two parameters something like this and follow the link to create a custom authentication scheme.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21674/sec_authentication.htm#HTMDB25778
function my_authentication (
    p_username in varchar2,
    p_password in varchar2 )
    return boolean
is
    l_user my_users.user_name%type := upper(p_username);
    l_pwd my_users.password%type;
    l_id   my_users.id%type;
begin
    select id , password
      into l_id, l_pwd
      from my_users
     where user_name = l_user;
    return l_pwd = rawtohex(sys.dbms_crypto.hash (

How to find the forgotten oracle user password?

Hi,
I forgot my oracle user password. Is there any possibility to find the password without resetting through system user.

Going by Oracle books, its not possible, but there are ways of knowing the users password, which in other words is known as Bruteforcing.

Installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password. i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password. i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

You don't use your Apple ID or its password to install anything on your Mac. You use the admin account's name and password.
Use the name and password you last entered when resetting them. The "name" you use is not the short name of the admin account folder.
For example. If you create an admin account of John Smith, the short name given to that account's folder will be johnsmith. So when an app requests an admin name and password to install something, the admin name you enter is John Smith, not johnsmith.

Considerations to change LINUX and Oracle users passwords

Dear friends
i want to change password to the following accounts in my oracle servers:
- oracle, OS linux user.
- system, db oracle user
- sys, db oracle user.
but, i want to know what considerations must i have in order to do it that.
VERSIONS:
- Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 4) 2.6.9 5.ELsmp (32-bit)
thanks a lot.

Madrid, and everybody.
does anyone knows ...
- What is the number ID (note) in metalink where are the default account passwords when installed Oracle default database ??? (some days ago i saw but i don't remember the note)
- Are there any link when describe any consideration about OS LINUX users like "root" and "oracle" ?
i must to view that document in order to present my boss.
Thanks a lot !!!!

Network User with Local Admin Privileges?

I have a small network (around 25 clients total) that was setup prior to my arrival. Each client has its own unique local admin (each machine was setup by the individual user) and it's become somewhat daunting to support them.
All of the machines are connected (but not specifically bound) to an Open Directory and each is accessible via Remote Desktop, however I cannot push software updates, etc. without local admin privileges.
I'd rather not create an account on each machine, nor do I want to completely lock down each computer (I'd like them to still have the flexibility to be admins so they can install apps, etc.)
Is it possible to authenticate against OD and obtain local admin privileges?

Yes.
You can wipe all account information and then recreate a common initial admin account. This will make administration far easier as all machines will have the same admin username/password combination. Next, bind all of the systems to the domain and create domain accounts for all users on the server (likely already exist). Log in as the domain accounts and migrate permissions to domain ids. Finally, promote the user to the local admin group through System Preferences > Accounts on the workstation. You must enable the account as a mobile account in Workgroup Manager first. If you do not, the account will not cache to the workstation and you will be unable to add it to the admin group.
Also, in a workgroup of 25, I would recommend rethinking the decision to grant local admin access to end users. This is asking for trouble as you will have no control over when updates are applied or even if they are. In theory (and probably in practice), you will have 25 completely different machines configurations. This is far harder to manage and troubleshoot than 25 systems with different admin accounts.
If you must provide some level of autonomy, while not trivial, you might want to consider modifying /etc/authorization and granting limited admin rights to the users.
Hope this helps - congrats on the opportunity

Does Oracle User Password can contain non-ASCII characters?

Hi Experts,
Can we create a user with password containing non-ASCII characters like "Ro'çá".
I was able to create a database instance by providing the password for sys as "Ro'çá". But now i am not able to login from command prompt using sqlplus or SQLPLUS Application. I am getting below error:
C:\Documents and Settings\xyz>sqlplus system/Ro'çá@test

Enter user-name:

Also using create user i am not able to create user with password in non-ASCII characters but alter user works and changes the password to non-ASCII characters when enclosed in quotes.
I wanted to know whether the password can contain non-ASCII characters or not?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't think that the characters used are allowed. See this doc which only mentions three characters to be used .

Oracle user password into ApEx?

I'm not sure this is possible - but wish it was...
Here, Oracle user's passwords are managed by an automated process and I need to get new/changed passwords (the same one) into ApEx. It would save a lot of time and effort if I can grab, massage, and then put it into wwv_flow_fnd_user's web_password, web_password_raw.
It would be great to hear that Oracle used the same obfuscation routines for both Oracle (sql*plus) and ApEx.
Doesn't Oracle concatonate the username with the password when creating the obfuscated password? If so, is this the case for ApEx?
Any advice?

Steve,
There's an overview of some of the new features here -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/whats_new_2.2.html
However that doesn't cover a lot of the features (you'll notice that the database authentication isn't mentioned there). The Apex 2.2 release is currently running on the public Oracle server (http://apex.oracle.com), so if you already have an account on there then you will be able to see the "Database Account Credentials" method listed in the authentication types, although obviously you won't be able to use this method on the public server.
Hope this helps

User Roles and System Privilegies????

I need to know âMY_USERâ Roles and System Privilegies.
What query do I have to execute?
Thanks!

Querying DBA_ROLE_PRIVS will give you the roles a user has been assigned. Querying DBA_SYS_PRIVS will give you the system privileges a user has been assigned.

HT202159 My purchased download get to around 25% download then mac asks for user password and download fails and I have to start again

I am currently downloading a purchased application from apple store, the application starts downloading then at some stage through the download the Mac asks for my user password to make changes, once I enter the password the download just disappears and I need to start again. I have tried using a different user and the same thing happens. I have also noticed that in purchases the application says to install but in the application page it says it is downloaded. I have spoken with apple support and they seem to be stunned and not sure what is going on! Help does anyone else have any suggestions, its an expensive app and I hope apple is prepared to refund if I cant download it.

When you're having problems with multiple user accounts, it can be an indication that the startup disk needs repairing or there's not enough free space on the disk to install apps.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk
If the repairs are necessary, instructions here > Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
For disk space. Look at the bottom of the Disk Utility window. You'll see Capacity and Available
Make sure there's at least 15% free space.

How can i modify the user password and responsibility?

as i know, i can define user form sercurity/user/define.
if the user have forgoten their password, how can i reset their password. ?
and if i want to change their responsibility, how can i do.?

Hi
you can reset user password by doing:
- sercurity >> user >> define
- search for user you want to reset password for him and set new password and reenter it and save what you make
- when this user reenter with the new password he will prompted to reenter new password and he will done as he like
FOR changing their reponsibility you can doing:
- sercurity >> user >> define
- search for user you want to change his reponsibility and:-
* if you want to add new one to hime you can navagate to reponsibility field and enter the reponsibility you need and set its active date(from - to)
*save what you made
* if you want to revoke reponsibility from him you can set date of from field = date of to field
*save waht you made

System and admin privileges after restore

I just restored my system from a disk image.
The system boots fine, but I can only launch programmes that are owned by my user (firefox, photoshop etc.). Programmes owned by the system (system - rw, admin - rw, everyone - r) will not launch, so no mail, no system prefs and no terminal.
The HD is system owned and I can't unlock the lock in get info o the HD or any of the programmes.
repair permissions from the install disk (though it's a 10.4 disk) or from a 10.5 via target HD mode doesn't help.
Tried adding my user to the admin group using single user mode, but it said that user was already part of the group. And even if I'm not an admin I should still be able to launch programmes, no?
Thanks,
John
