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

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.

Connect Notifications - Add user password into the email?

When creating a training notification for a curriculum, do you have access to add the user password into the email? I know this is not a great idea for security purposes, but we have a few cases where we may need to do this. Fields are available to add using the brackets like {description}. So I was wondering if user password is available to use.

setRequestProperty essentially modifies the http-headers sent to the server.
You play with headers named Username and Password - these do not exist in the standard (see http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html).
It is not too unlikely that the server you want to connect to uses the so-called "Basic" authentication scheme.
In that case (see http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt) you have to add a header looking like
setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==")
where the cryptic character sequence is just the base64 encoding of username:passowrd (in fact here it is "Aladdin:open sesame").
hope this helps

Is it possible to integrate Oracle intermedia search into apex ?(1)

Or do something similar manually yourself in oracle xe ?(2)
(1)I've been reading through part of the documentation of the intermedia search, and find it quite intresting. Better to use that if one can, then to have to do that it manually or yourself. But all I read is about JSP and PSP, and I guess PSP's are used by apex, but I was wondering if there was any way, to integrate intermedia search into apex, so that one can lookup say mp3, video files and images and display them in apex as well. Images may take some work but would I suppose be possible.
However for the other two you need also player software to play both of them. As far as I know this is not integrated into Apex, but could possibly be provided by using the player integrated with a webbrowser, and by linking it to apex. So the browser is launched and plays the video or the audio file or alternatively a player is launched that allows to do that. But correct me if I'm wrong.
(2) Alternatively I was wondering if one could do this, manually in Oracle XE, but then manually, by making tables with blobs and putting the files in there, and then finding somehow a way to get them played by a player, or to have them be put in a directory, and/or erased from that directory, and modify the player, or let it be activated and controlled by some kind of script to look for new files, and then play them off . Could this be done, by adding a parameter new_file_to_play to a message passed to the player, or the program governing the players behavior ?
I know this sound difficult, and it probably is, but it would have its benefits. I suppose a simple answer would by, why not use oracle 10g with intermedia search ? Well because although I expect this to be the preferable choice, the license is rather expensive for me, and if I could get a rudimentary version working on XE, even having to do it myself, and writing the code as well,
it would be ok.
I just wonder could one not, make a table, with a nr, a blob, and then the specific fields for the specific information of that type, and then use a extraction program that extracts that information from a file, and puts it in a xml or csv file, so that say after the images were uploaded, one can load the details in as well ?
It is more work, more complicated, and not as easy to use, but it could work I suppose.
Any comments are welcome.
Best Regards,
Floris

Integrate Oracle Chart Builder into APEX

I'm lost with the current limitations of APEX charts. Does any one have any idea on how to integrate Oracle Chart Builder with APEX.
Thanks
Amar

Hi Jes,
What I want to do is generate a chart dynamically. Ok, let me explain a bit more.
I have a page which has a field say category. Now based on this category a report is generated (on another page say page2) when user clicks sumbit. The sql query which generates the report changes with the categories selected i.e. there is variation in the where clause or the base table.
Now on this report I want to plot a graph (in the same page2). Is it possible to dynamically change the chart query also like the report query ?
I was also thinking if it was possible to get the data directly from the report generated something like
SELECT NULL LINK,
#ENAME# LABEL,
#SAL# VALUE
FROM DUAL
ORDER BY #ENAME#
Thanks
Amar

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.

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

ERROR:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
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

Greetings All,
We run an 8.1.6 Oracle Database. Do you think there is any way we can have Oracle differentiate between uppercase and lowercase characters for the password?
I would appreciate any help.
Regards
Milind

1> Try using /?rdbms/admin/utlpwdmg.sql
2> True. Oracle stores the password as one case not matter what case you put it in.
Let me pick the answer to the OP from both your posts:
TEST> exec dbms_random.initialize(123456789);
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
TEST> select round(dbms_random.value(1,2)) from dual;
ROUND(DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE(1,2))
2:-P

What is the password for 'oracle' user created during XE installation?

Hi,
What is the password for 'oracle' user automatically created when XE is installed?
I installed XE on Linux and it's created under 'oracle' user, but I don't know 'oracle' password. So, I cannot stop TNS listener.
During configuration, it prompted me to enter SYS and SYSADMIN password but it didn't ask me to enter 'oracle' user password.
Please let me know or point me to the document.
Thanks,
N

Hi Jari,
I tried your suggestion, but it didn't work unfortunately.
When I type (sudo su -oracle) as follows, it still prompts the password. When I hit Enter key w/o anything, it seems to proceed and the prompt shows up in the following line. So, I thought it was successful, but when I checked 'whoami', it's not logged in as 'oracle'.
So, I created the password for 'oracle' and logged in as 'oracle' using a new password. Then, I stopped TNS listener to uninstall XE.
It would be nice if it's documented in XE document somewhere... since it's created by XE installation, I assumed some kind of default password was used.
Thanks,
N

Oracle user(schema) passwords !!

I have two questions about oracle user passwords for our security based policies:
1. How can we determine oracle user passwords?
2 How can we determine weak oracle user passwords?
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards.

*1. How can we determine oracle user passwords?*
Refer to this link
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=9607371&#9607371
*2 How can we determine weak oracle user passwords?*
Although the passwords in Oracle are encrypted, there is always possibilities that a user will choose a simple password like the same as his/her userid and here is doc about database security

Password for Oracle user , sys , system , saprpd

Hi All ,
I just join a new company as sys admin . I tried to search password for Oracle user sys , system and saprd in my company password file . Those users password are not stored.
Am I supposed to know those oracle user password ? If yes , Can I find them in my Unix system or sap application ?
Please help !
Felix

It is not possible to determine the passwords if you don't know them. But perhaps note 562863 and the described default passwords are useful. Furthermore you can always change passwords if you have SYSDBA privilege using "alter user ... identified by ..." or "brconnect -f chpass".

Procedure/package to change user password through plsql gateway

I'm not sure is this the right place to ask, but I don't know anywhere better.
I'm using Oracle 817 with the apache that bundled. I use the plsql gateway (mod_plsql). I want to create a page for user to change their password, however, I don't know how to verify the existing password of the user before changing to a new password. Also, how can I change the password, is there a standard procedure to do that?
One more question, when I key in the following:
http://myhost/pls/my_dad/my_schema.my_procedure
the web server return a page with lots of cgi environment (assuming the my_procedure doesn't exist), how can I customise this page?
thx.

To ensure security of the Oracle database system and prevent unauthorized access to the Oracle database, it’s important for Oracle users to not only using strong and long Oracle passwords to avoid brute force or dictionary attacks, but also to change the Oracle user password regularly. Oracle users also have to change the password when the password has or going to expire, if database system administrator implements and enforces strict password control with PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME option for user profiles which limits the number of days the password can be used for authentication to login to the system.
To change the Oracle password, users can use SQL*Plus or Oracle SQL and PL/SQL language interface administration tool such as Toad for Oracle. No matter what SQL apps you use, the commands and SQL query languages used to change the password are similar.
There are two SQL command syntaxes that can be used to change Oracle database user password:
ALTER USER user_name IDENTIFIED BY new_password;or (from Oracle8 and above):
PASSWORD
For above SQL query, if you need to change another user’s password, use the following command:
PASSWORD user_name
For PASSWORD command, after you press Enter, you will be prompted to input the old password and new password interactively. For example:
SQL> password
Changing password for DAVID
Old password:
New password:
Retype new password: Note: You need to have enough privileges to change other Oracle user’s password.
As the variable in italic implied by name, user_name is the user whose password wishes to be changed, and new_password is the new password to assign.
As ALTER USER SQL syntax will send the new password to the Oracle database server unencrypted if use without Advanced Security Option, and thus expose to security risk, Oracle users should always use the PASSWORD command to change the Oracle user password.
