Password Encryption/Case sensitive

Hi,
I am providing a webservice/RFC(6.20) to an user who is required to provide userid and password along with the other paramters.
In SAP the password is being converted to upper case. I tried to create a new data type and domain with lower case checked but no luck.
I tried to type the password as string and also tried to send in a encoded password(base 64) but again the same problem, SAP converts this to upper case.
What would be a standard solution to this problem?]
Please suggest.
Thanks a lot.

Hi KP,
when you say you tested the RFC in debugging mode, do you mean you placed a beakpoint in the function module and let the inbound HTTP request trigger the debugger?
This is the only real way to test that the payload from the webservice client is correct.
If you just tested the RFC standalone in the debugger then you will find that the importing parameters are converted to upper case.
If you have trouble interrupting the HTTP request ( e.g. if it does not execute under your user name) try puttin in a few logging statements to trace what it actually passed.
Cheers
Graham

Can i make the database passwords non case-sensitive ??

Can i make the database passwords non case-sensitive ??

Yes: set instance parameter SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON to FALSE ( http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17110/initparams220.htm#I1010299).

Upon upgrade to 11.2 , will passwords become case sensitive automatically ?

Os : Solaris 10
We are upgrading from version 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.3 ? Will the user passwords become case sensitive automatically after the upgrade ?

Network diagnostics is not accepting the WEP password on my wireless router. I know the password is case sensitive and was very careful in entering it but it still gives me the "Unable to join Wi-Fi Network" error message.

I need help setting up the wireless router for my iMac. I did not know the WEP password when I first turned it on to set things up. Now that I know the WEP password I cant get Network Diagnostics to accept it. I know it is case sensitive and was very careful when I entered the password. What should I do?

Hi, unfortunately WEP is about as secure as a bar of gold lent to a Gang Den! It can be broken in under 30 seconds these days!
If the PW is ASCII, try enclosing it in qoute marks, if Hex try preceding it with the & or % sign.
Also, is the Router set to only allow connect ion to MAC addies of the Interface?

User Password case sensitivity issue.

Hi,
I have been migrated users from EBS to OID, but having some issues like some existing users password in EBS are in Capital letters but when they connect with SSO the same password not accepted, but users can connect same password in small letters.
How I can solve this issue????????
Senario:
1: Existing EBS User:(Before integration of OID+SSO), users are directly connecting with EBS.
User Name: HINA.SARWAR-----------(Not case sensitive)
Password: ABCDEF -----------( Case sensitive)
2: Existing EBS User:(After integration of OID+SSO), user are connecting via SSO.
Eexpected behavior is that users should logon with above pass "ABCDEF", but they cannot.
eg:-
Cannot connect as:
User Name: HINA.SARWAR -----------(Not case sensitive)
Password: ABCDEF -----------( Case sensitive)
Can connect as:
User Name: HINA.SARWAR -----------(Not case sensitive)
Password: abcdef -----------( Case sensitive)
thx

Making user account logins/passwords case sensitive?

Hi, just a quick question. Is it possible to make user account login/passwords be case sensitive? At the moment they are case insensitive.
Thanks :)

You can make only user account login case sensitive but not password.
SQL> create user "Test" identified by "tEST";
User created.
SQL> grant create session to "Test";
Grant succeeded.
SQL> conn test/test
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE.
SQL> conn "Test"/test
Connected.

[Solved] Username case sensitivity when logging in via BASIC authentication

Hi,
Quick question... where the web.xml file defines BASIC authentication for an app, can a change be made somewhere to make the username case INsensitive ?
.. such that passwords remain case sensitive but usernames can be upper/lower regardless of how they are stored (in the database in this case, via DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule).
I was thinking I could add an upper(supplied_username) function wrapper somewhere before the supplied username / stored username are compared.. what class/file would I need to edit to try that solution?
If not possible.. would form authentication be a better option for case insensitivity, and if so would it be difficult to hookup a custom login form to the DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule instead of the BASIC login window ?
Thanks..

Hi,
by default all username and password is cases sensitive - no matter how the logon is performed. The DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule provides an option to handle passwords case insensitive (as explained in the documentation !)

casing
=====
The case-sensitivity when comparing login user names to names in the database. Use sensitive to require case-sensitive comparisons, toupper to convert the login user name to all-uppercase, or tolower to convert the login user name to all-lowercase. (If anything other than these three values is specified, the default value will be used.)
Default: sensitive

Bugs due to case sensitivity of objects?!

Hi,
When migrating from MSAccess 97 to Oracle
8i, it seems that there are many problems
during the migration due to case sensitivity
of Oracle objects. Specifically, the usage
of the double quoted is not always correct
resulting in JET/DAO 3011 messages. I dont
know in which part of the chain is the
problem though (Access, ODBC or Workbench).
Is it possible, using Workbench wizard to
create and reference all objects in a non-
case sensitive manner (tablespace,
tables ...) to avoid these problems.
If not, any suggestion will be welcome,

If you use SSO, then the passwords are case sensitive. If you are not using SSO, then you may need to create table that contains case sensitive passwords and associate them to database passwords.

Case Sensitive logins

Hello,
We're using Weblogic 8.1.
If I create a user, tmui. Weblogic ignores the login case when I login using
ServletAuthentication. The password is case sensitive.
How can I make the login value case sensitive as well? I should not be allowed
to login with TMUI.
thanks,
Tom

I suspect it is the authentication provider that is case-insensitive. What
authentication provider are you using? If you are using a case-insensitive
one (eg: the NT realm via the compatibility realm), then it is the realm
that is case-insensitive, not WLS.

Oracle 11G password case sensitive option is not working.

Hello,
I am facing problem in Oracle 11G. I installed and created a database. I disabled password case sensitive option by setting it to false (Pls see the below output). but case sensitive option is not disabled and i am not able to logon using the lower case password.
SQL> connect sys/<pwd in lower case>@<connect string> as sysdba;
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE.
SQL> connect sys/<pwd in uppper case>@<connect string> as sysdba;
Connected.
SQL> show parameter SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON
NAME TYPE VALUE
sec_case_sensitive_logon boolean FALSE
Any idea.... should i open the case in the metalink ?
With Regards
Hemant Joshi.

Can you execute:
SQL> select USERNAME, PASSWORD_VERSIONS from dba_users where username = 'SYS';Have you tried reseting the sys password? When you create the password file by default the passwords stored on it are case sensitive, maybe you also need to rebuild it...

Case-sensitive passwords in 11g

Hello,
This is a rather silly post, but I've been Googling and can't find whether SQL Developer supports case-sensitive login or not. I've read that some other clients always send an "uppercase" password (no matter how you typed it) which causes problems with Oracle 11g. Is SQL-Developer "compatible" with the new 11g case-sensitive policy?
Thank you.

Yes SQL Developer is definitely compatible with 11g case insensitive password.

Case sensitive password in ECC6.0

Hi All,
I'm using the below code to connect to SAP ECC6 system. The below code works fine when the SAP Logon password is all caps. But, when the password is mixed case I get an Error Message.
* SAPHD hd = SapConnc(argv, sapsys, client, cadsys, user, passw, langu, vers, msg);*
As ECC 6 is case-sensitive, does anyone know any workaround to make sure that case-sensitive password login works from external application on ECC6.0 also.
Thanks in advance,
Naveen

please check parameter
login/password_downwards_compatibility
according to sap help:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/d2/141fb593c742b5aad8f272dd487b74/frameset.htm
Specifies the degree of backward compatibility to be achieved. The default value is 1, where the values have the following meaning:
0
Caution
With login/password_downwards_compatibility = 0, passwords are stored in a format that systems with older kernels cannot interpret. The system only generates new (backward incompatible) password hash values.
1
The system also generates backward compatible password hash values internally, but does not evaluate these for password-based logons (to its own system). This setting is required if this system is used as the central system of a Central User Administration that systems that only support backward compatible password hash values are also connected to the system group.
2
The system also generates backward compatible password hash values internally, which it evaluates if a logon with the new, non-backward compatible password failed. In this way, the system checks whether the logon would have been accepted with the backward compatible password (truncated after eight characters, and converted to upper-case). This is recorded in the system log. The logon fails. This setting is to allow the identification of backward incompatibility problems.
3
As with 2, but the logon is regarded as successful. This setting is to allow the avoidance of backward incompatibility problems.
4
As with 3, but no entry is created in the system log.
5
Full backward compatibility: the system only creates backward compatible password hash values.

I recent la format the drive and create a case sensitive jornal and put a password. How I undo it if I just see the whole drive as the recovery disk

I want to format my computer and I start to do that but I fondo a copy of the boot folder on the drive, not the recovery drive. I formated and make it case sensitive jornal with a password. Then I put a password in main too. So the drive the entre drive become my recovery drive.So I have two recovery drive I think.I learn almost all the diskutil comando and I don know how to fin it. The disks are not showing the one with the passwords.

Hi Kappy,
Just wondering if you had any advice for my situation . . .
My time machine backup was backing up to a drive that was "Mac OS X Enteded Journaled, Case Sensitive." I had no idea what this meant, or that it would even cause issues.
I took my computer to the Apple store yesterday, and they wiped it clean. When they tried to restore it from the Time Machine backup drive, it would not work. Their guess is that Time Machine cannot restore from a drive that is "case sensitive."
Any thoughts on how I can convert my time machine backup data from a "case sensitive" state, to a "non-case sensitive" state? I've tried to just drag and drop the files from the case sensitive formatted drive to a new drive that I have that is formatted non case sensitive, but I get the following error message:
"The volume has the wrong case sensitivity for a backup"
I just really want my data back - I thought TimeMachine was the way to go (and was supposed to work) but unfortunately it is not.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Oracle Passwords CASE Sensitive

My Oracle 9i DB is not CASE sensitive on my passwords. I can not find any info on what parameter I can change to make it case sensitive.
All documents I find on net tell me that Oracle is CASE sensitive by default why are my passwords not?
Thanks in advance for any and all help,
David Miller

The topic they are typically were talking about being case sensitive is data insdie oracle db...
Also saw discussiona on use of " " (double quotes) on the ALTER USER command and password to make it specific to case.. Not sure where that came from at all...

Case sensitivity in 11g passwords

Hi.
I read that passwords are now "case sensitive" in 11g. Really? I checked below, then I changed the password:
Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
SQL> show parameter sec_case_sensitive_logon;
NAME TYPE VALUE
sec_case_sensitive_logon boolean TRUE
SQL> alter user sys identified by TINA;
User altered.
SQL> exit
I try to connect using different case:
sqlplus sys/tINna@orcl as sysdba
SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production on Sat Dec 19 16:28:43 2009
Copyright (c) 1982, 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
I am a little confused as to how I can connect when I changes the case.
Or do i misunderstand "case-sensitivity"
Thanks

Hello,
In fact it depends on the value of the parameter sec_case_sensitive_logon. You can check its value as follow :
SHOW PARAMETER SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGONAnd change it as you want:
ALTER SYSTEM SET SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON = TRUE;More over, you should check the password version 10g or 11g:
SELECT username, password_versions FROM dba_users;A 10g password is case-insensitive even when case-sensitivity is enabled.
And also it depends on your password file. If it was created with ignorecase=y you'll have
to recreate it:
orapwd file={color:red}orapw_filename{color} entries=100 ignorecase=n password={color:red}password{color}You can find on the following link some information about how to enable case-sensitivity:
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/network.111/b28531/authentication.htm#DBSEG3225]
Hope it can help.
Best regards,
