OS Authentication & ODBC

Is it possible to set a DataSource to use OS Authentication with ODBC? What's the proper DSN?
I've tried the "/" user without success.
Thanks

Have you read through the Oracle Advanced Security guide to get specifics on setting up your SQL*Net appropriately? On Windows, I believe there are a couple of registry entries you'll need as well.

OBIEE Integration with Workspace 11.1.1.1

Hi Gurus,
I'm integrating OBIEE Answer 10.1.3.4 with Workspace 11.1.1.1, and using LDAP authentication.
The issue is OBI ANSWER not able to pass the token correctly to Shared Svc and Essbase, it's always refer to id@Directory (directory is your LDAP directory or Native)
Error msg :
1. Using Native id *"State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. Essbase Error: Essbase user [testSec@Native Directory] Authentication Fails against the Shared Services Server with Error [30:1005:Invalid credentials. Authentication failed for user 'testSec'.] (HY000)"*.
2. External authentication Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).

SSO is working fine, as i'm able to open the OBI page through WS without asking me to login again. All users were provisioned from Shared Service based on LDAP external authentication and assigned with specific Essbase filter.
OBIEE also configure using custom authenticator.
Your help is much appreciated.

Interactive Reporting 9.3.1 - Server-side ODBC setup for Windows Authent.

Help. I am having a problem with Interactive Reporting connections to SQL server through the Web Client.
In our environment, we have the Hyperion BI 9.3.1 suite. We develop IR documents (BQY's) on our local machine using Studio and using locally setup ODBC connections to SQL Server, using Windows NT authentication. Everything works perfectly fine, locally.
When we upload the BQY and the OCE, and properly associate them to each other in Workspace, we then proceed to open them using the Web Client. The file opens fine, and when I hit process to run the query, I am prompted to login. When I login (using my NT Authenticated login), I receive the following error message: "Error Logging on as Windows User: Win32 Error code: 1385 Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer."
The ODBC that was setup on the server was setup to use NT Authentication (as opposed to SQL server). The DAS connections are setup properly. My question is - how do you setup a connection to a SQL server using NT authentication and have the user authenticate through the Web Client. We don't want to grant users access to the server directly.
If you can't answer this question, can you tell me how you have setup your connections on the server through DAS and how you properly maintained security controls?
Thanks - Mike

its not really in the bqy (its in the oce) but I understand your point. Now we get to the point It s not my expertiece any more but perhaps something like row level security or making use of odsusername variable might give some solution or workaround. sometimes this how we solve it when it comes to sensitive information from a app DB. We retrieve users security from the db app and use it as a where clause in the bqy. as long as endusers do not have enough right to change the query its enough.

CSV import ODBC authentication error

Post Author: steve.durr
CA Forum: Authentication
I am using Crystal Reports Server XI,but I am using Developer to create my report by merging two databases into one report. 1 database is SQL and the other is a CSV file. I have setup the ODBC connections and can run my report just fine within Developer. I added the report to the Central Management Console website so other people can run the report from the InfoView website. I know what username and password to use in order to connect to our SQL database, but in order to run the CSV file is is asking for login information. If I tell it to use the same databse login as when the report is run I get the following error : The databse login information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect. Unable to retrieve object. When I use developer and create a new ODBC connection I do not use a username and password, does anyone know why this error is occuring??? The CSV file is only a lookup table so I can associate a doctor number to the doctor name in the SQL database. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One more update, I can access the report from Mozilla Firefox with any user. If I use IE 6 or 7 I am the only one able to access the page. IE & gives the error mentioned above. IE 6 gives me a script error and asks if I want to continue running scripts and no matter what I click it wont go away, however the parameter prompt shows up. For good measure I have enabled all active X controls and added the website to the trusted sites list. I am logged into my computer as the domain admin, and when I use my own username and password in IE 6 or 7 it works. If I click the yellow lock in the upper right to log off the website and then type in a domain user login I get the resource error (IE 7) or script errror (IE 6) How can it be a broswer issue if I can use the exact same browser without closing it and access the site with a different username? That leads me to believe it is a permission issue, but how can that be if it works with another browser (Mozilla). I am going around in circles here Help please.

Oracle OS authentication through ODBC from Windows to UNIX

I have a third party application on Windows 2003 Server that I will use to write data to an Oracle 10g database on HP UNIX. The software vendor says I need to start the application and the login that is running the application needs to be windows authenticated to the Oracle database in order to insert or select data. I have setup OPS$ accounts for operating system authentication but the ODBC returns a SQLConnect to "ODBC" error -1. How can a Windows user do a operating system authentication to an Oracle database on a UNIX platform? Thank you for your help.

Hi,
What is the error message?
The ODBC driver doesnt do any sort of authentication, it just passes on what you give it to the client/networking layer. As such, I'd expect you to have the same issue making a sqlplus connection from the client machine, so a forum that deals with pure client connectivity may be a better place to post your question.
The above assumes however, that your problem is specific to OS AUTH, and the app isnt running as a Service, an IIS app, etc. In that case, the user the process is running as may not be who you think it is.
Can you connect ok without using OS Auth? (ie, supplying a username/password)? There were permissions issues in the base 9201 and 10201 client install that prevented Oracle client software from working at all unless you are an admin user.
Hope it helps,
Greg

Form Authentication Servlet and MD5

Dear forum,
I have the following servlet to authenticate a user via form. If you go to the root url you get the login html and the authentication works fine but if the user knows the url of a specific html just by typing the url gives access to the page without going through the authentication. The website is composed of htmls and servlets. How can I force the authentication for the htmls and the servlets. I included at the bottom how I added the Login servlet to the web.xml. I suspect that the servlet definition in the web.xml is the problem.
Also I would like to use MD5 encryption, would someone suggest how this can be accomplished.
Thanks.

Check the session in the servlets that are allowed only for logged-in users.

    // At the start of your doGet()'s:
    if (!checkLogin(request, response))
        return;Do you really need static documents to be authenticated? dot.gif's and all? Someone can make a zip file of them anyway and post it to their own web site or Kazaa.
If you have a couple of html pages you want authenticated, easiest is to write them as servlets (+ maybe JSP's) and do the login check there.
Ok, let's say you have ...what, an "image database" (heh) that you want available to logged-in users only. Write a servlet that serves those pages. That servlet checks the session, and then copies the appropriate file to the user (remember to set content type; consider caching the files if hit rate is very high.) The servlet would be called like /images/show?id=gerbilsex/closeup.gif to fetch the named file. Put the files outside the web server's document directory so they are not accessible except through the servlet. Perform strict checks on the file name to disallow nastiness like id=../../../etc/passwd. A similar database solution is also possible. Another variant is to map a servlet to a "virtual directory name" and get the actual file name from the URL path -- similar to the ?id= solution, except the URLs don't have parameters.
About md5: md5 isn't an encryption algorithm, it is a hash algorithm (aka "message digest" or "fingerprint"). It can't be decrypted. What do you really want to accomplish - encryption or hashing?

Tnsping timed out using dg4odbc from Oracle to MYSQL through ODBC

Hi,
I encountered problem when trying to connect from Oracle to MYSQL using dg4odbc, hope you can shed some light
Oracle database is 11.1.0.7 on SUSE Linux 64-bit.
Since the application which runs on MYSQL DB only offers ODBC driver on Windows platform, so I installed the 32-bit ODBC driver (from ServiceNow) on a 32-bit windows server (driver download from http://wiki.service-now.com/index.php?title=ODBC_Driver) .
created system DSN: MYSQLDEV, The DSN connection works fine. I then installed Oracle 11.2.0.1 gateway for ODBC 32-bit on the same windows server, the following configurations were done:

if listener is not listening to the service, then the tnsping on the windows server should fail as well.
I don't know why only the tnsping from Linux failed, is it due to the 32-bit ODBC uncompatibility with 64-bit oracle server? or my configuration problem?
Of course, when I created the DB link from oracle, the connection failed with
create database link mysqldev connect to xxxx identified by "xxxxx" using 'jelly';
Database link created.

OBIA 7.9.5 EBS Integration Not Logged On nQSError 43001 Authentication Fail

Hi,
I'm attempting to get Oracle Business Intelligence Applications 7.9.5 / OBIEE 10.1.3.3.2 integrated into the eBusiness Suite 11.5.10.2 per Metalink Note 552735.1. At the moment not an action link, just menu option to SA Administrator.
I've run into and worked around a number of problems with the Initialization block variables setup in OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd and now no longer get errors in the NQServer.log after disabling Initialization Blocks for Siebel/Peoplesoft and disabling 2 EBS specific Init blocks that were erroring; 'Inventory Organizations' and 'Ledgers' I'll fix those later.
However, now I get an error in the sawlog0.log file as follows:

The strange thing is both Gareth and I have configured OBIA/OBIEE on a Linux server and local authentication works fine. Once we enable external EBS authentication, we get the error listed above.
Does anyone who has done the OBIA EBS integration with OBIEE running on Linux have an example of the odbc.ini file. It appears that even though we have reconfigured OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd to use OCI everywhere, that there is still some hard coded ODBC references for external authentication.
We are configuring instanceconfig.xml as directed:

https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=552735.1
Configuring InstanceConfig.xml for External Authentication
1. Modify the instanceconfig.xml file for the Oracle BI Presentation Services as shown below:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<WebConfig>
<ServerInstance>
<CatalogPath>c:\temp\default</CatalogPath>
<DSN>AnalyticsWeb</DSN>

<Param name="NQ_SESSION.ACF"
source="url"
nameInSource="ACF"/>
</ParamList>
</ExternalLogon>
</Auth>

</ServerInstance>
</WebConfig>
2. The nameInSource for the cookie should be the same as the Oracle E-Business Suite application database SID name. To verify the name of the cookie, using Firefox, check the name of the cookie created under the us.oracle.com domain (or the domain where your Oracle E-Business Suite Application server is running). Please note that the cookie name is case sensitive.

A few things to note:
1) Crystal Report 2013 doe snot install any SDK. Thus the assumption is that you are using CR from teh following link:
SAP BusinessObjects - SAP Crystal Reports, Version For Eclipse Download
2) Since you are using a 64 bit connection (Oracle Client 11g 62 bit ODBC driver) you will have to make sure you are using 64 bit JVM. Otherwise, follow Dell's advice and use a 32 bit ODBC datasource.
3) On one test you are using Oracle Client 10g 32 bit ODBC driver and the other you are using Oracle Client 11g 64 bit ODBC driver. You might want to see if you can run your app using Client 11g 32 bit ODBC driver.

The subject line and the first point on your list indicates that you want to connect to a Hive data source using ODBC. But the error message tells us that you have set up a linked server with SQL Server Native Client, which is the OLE DB provider you would
use if you want to connect to another SQL Server instance.
For using an ODBC driver, you need to use the MSDASQL provider, and in the @provstr argument you specify which ODBC driver you want to use. That is, something like:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'SQLHive', '', 'MSDASQL',
@provstr = 'Driver={Hive ODBC Driver}....'
As I have not worked with the Hive ODBC Driver, I don't know exactly what goes into the @provstr parameter, but it would be the same as if you connected to Hive from an application.

Encrypting communication between an app that uses an ODBC/DSN (with ADODB) and SQL Server 2008 R2

I've been doing a lot of reading the last couple of days on how we can encrypt db communication between our product app and a customer's SQL Server db, but cannot make it work as expected. The app uses a ODBC/DSN to connect to the SQL Server db. I use this
ODBC app to setup the DSN (on a Windows 7 PC):
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
The DSNconnection uses the SQL Server driver 6.01.7601.17514 and has these properties:
- WinNT authentication.
- Client Config button: TCP/IP to <server-name>\<instance.-name>
- Change to default db: <name-of-app-db>
- Everything else is default setting.
SQL Server is on the same Windowns 7 PC and has a self-signed cert installed (used IIS to generate it) and has the Force Enryption set to "yes".
I have a test C# program that uses the ADODB 2.7.0.0 COM-wrapper, made by Visual Studio after adding a reference to the ADO 2.7 library version 6.1.7601.17857. The program creates an ADODB.Connection object that has a simple connection string: "DSN=<san-name>;UID=<user>;PWD=<password>". The
program then creates an ADODB.Recordset object and reads and displays a field from a table.
Works fine.
If I go into SQL Server and set Force Encryption to "no," clear the cert, restart the SQL service, and then re-run the program, it works fine.
Here's the kick. If I go into the DSN and select "Use strong encryption for data" the Test button on the DSN works—why does it work? The SQL Server is no longer encrypting the connection so an error should occur. If I run the test program, it works
as well—why? I can look at the connection properties in the test program and see that ADODB has added the ";Encrypt-yes" stuff to the end of the connection string. Yet that option seems to have no effect.
If I set the SQL instance back to Force Encryption:yes, enable the cert, restart the SQL service, and clear the DSN's "Use strong encryption for data" option, I can still connect to the db with the
test program—why?
What am I doing wrong? I need to be able to ensure that the communication between our app product and the SQL instance is encrypted, and that we get an error if the SQL instance does not support encrypted communications. We really don't want the customer
to have to enable Force Encryption because they have other db's on their SQL Server that do not use encrypted communication, but they want to know that our product's communication channel with the db is encrypted.
No, I can't change the app product's code at this point in time. I'm stuck with working with what a DSN called from ADODB has to offer.
Also, how can I be sure that communications are encrypted? I mean, I've tried things like "SELECT * FROM sys.dm_exec_connections" but that doesn't help because I have no idea how to tie the list of sessions shown back to my test program, although
I guess it's a good thing that some of the sessions listed show encrypt_option as TRUE.
-glenn-

Ah yes, very good point. It's easy to miss because you have to delete then recreate the DSN in order to change drivers. So I switched the DSN over to the SQL Native 11 driver.
Now when I try to connect to the SQL instance as <computer-name>\<instance-name>, and without a cert on the server, I get "the target principal name is incorrect". Perfect; now we're getting somewhere!
Change my DSN to use <fqdn>\<instance-name> and it works. This tells me that SQL Server has auto-generated a cert and named it <fqdn>. I would have expected the "cert fail" error, not a cert
name mismatch, because I'm not using Trust Server Cert.
So I load up my self-signed cert, and that works too.
I am still confused as to why I'm not seeing the "cert fail" error when I have no cert loaded on the SQL Server. I am not using Force Encryption on the server at all, so wouldn't expect SQL Server to auto-create a cert when an Encrypt=yes request comes in,
but apparently it does?
I also ran into a problem with this:
select c.session_id, c.encrypt_option, s.client_interface_name
from sys.dm_exec_connections c
join sys.sysprocesses s
on c.session_id = s.session_id
where s.dbid = db_id('MyDatabase')
There is no s.client_interface_name, probably should be s.hostname. There's also no s.session_id. I thought maybe this should be s.sid, but then no rows ever come back. The c.session_id looks like 51 and 52, but the s.sid looks like a very long binary number,
so these two fields cannot be joined. I don't know how to convert the sid's properly so that the join would work. Ah wait, I just found the s.spid column; the join works when that column is used (I assume that's correct anyhow).
If I add a Thread.Sleep(30 seconds) to my C# program just before the connection is closed, this query shows me the session for the correct hostname has encrypt_option=TRUE.
And I have to keep my fingers crossed that all the app I/O will still work properly after
changing the driver. Probably a safe bet though.
Think I'm ready to throw in the towel on getting the "cert fail/no SSL" error to appear.
It does look like I am able to sufficiently show that the connection is encrypted when Encrypt=yes is used with the newer driver.
Thank for all the help!

Can connect via ODBC but not via SQL Developer?

Hi, all.
My setup:
Windows XP Pro
JDK 1.6
SQL Developer 2.1.1.64.45
I'm attempting to connect to an Oracle DB using OS authentication and trying hand-entry of the host and SID; and also trying my TNS file. When I attempt to connect via SQL Developer, I get the following error:
"Status : Failure -Test failed: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied."
When I attempt this same connection, however, using ODBC and Access, I can get right in and see the tables.
What can I try in order to get SQL Developer working correctly?
Thanks,
IVR Avenger

I'm not really familiar with connections Using OS authentication, but if OCI+TNS based connections work you could try to activate OCI connections by selecting
Preferences -> Database -> Advanced -> Use OCI/Thick Driverand then use the TNS connection type when creating your connection.
It should work well even with the thin driver but i cannot help you in this case because i've never had to use this kind of authentication.
