Passwords in css.xml

What cipher/encryption is used to save passwords in the css.xml file for Shared Services? I need to automate password changes for User Directories and was hoping to edit the css.xml file directly. Is there a command line utility or possible Java API call that can return an encrypted string?
Thanks

Thanks so much for your help.
I executed CSSEXPORT successfully on my DEV server. The export.properties file I used had this:
# For export operations, use the URI of the CSS.xml belonging to the Shared Services that controls the source Native Directory.
# For import operations, use the URI of the CSS.xml belonging to the Shared Services that controls the target Native Directory.
# Example, http://MyServer:<port>/framework/getCSSConfigFile or file:/C:/Hyperion/CSS.xml
importexport.css=file:/F:/Hyperion/deployments/Tomcat5/SharedServices9/config/CSS.xml
I have problems executing CSSEXPORT on my PROD server.
CSSEXPORT did not even encrypt my password not kick out a trace file; which leads me to believe that something is wrong with my css.xml file.
On PROD server, when I tried running
F:\Hyperion\common\utilities\CSSImportExportUtility>CSSExport.bat export.propert
Ies
I got this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/hyperion/css/exch
ange/CommandUtility
I check my CSSexport.bat file and the set JAVA_HOME=%HYPERION_HOME%\common\JRE\Sun\1.5.0 matches that in DEV server. Both servers have this directory: %HYPERION_HOME%\common\JRE\Sun\1.5.0\
Any idea why I'm getting error ?
Thanks.

Shared Services directories definition, no more CSS.xml

Hi,
I am currently working with version 11.1.2.1 and I would like to access my MSAD directories definition, but it is not contained in CSS.xml as it used to be in version 9.
I have searched all tables of the Shared Services relational database, and did not find it there either.
Does anyone know where it is stored now ?
Thanks,
JM

Hi John,
I would like to rename the MS Active Directories.
I know that in the relational database, the directories are identified by an internal ID and not by their name, so it should be possible. However, I cannot find where they are defined.
Something interesting is that http://servername:19000/interop/framework/getCSSFileConfig returns a blank page.
I already ran epmsys_registry.bat and used CTRL+F and looked for the current name of the directories and it did not return any result. I also used a SQL procedure to search in the tables and did not find anything either.
Thanks,
JM

We need to set enable password on CSS 11503.
Can we do this.If yes how we can do this?

Encrypted Password in AIAConfigurationProperties.xml

Hi,
During the installation of Primavera P6 to EBS Projects PIP, the Password is getting encrypted in the Service Configuration in AIAConfigurationProperties.xml. Is there any script that we can run so that we can avoid the encryption of the password there by having the flexibility to change the un-encrypted Password as and when required?
<Property name="User.P6EPPM_01.Name">primavera</Property>
<Property name="User.P6EPPM_01.pwd">Se8bfsuMJNvYmKB4mg9L3w==</Property>
Your pointers will be highly appreciated!
Regards,
Chaitanya

Try this:
There's a script that can be used to re-encrypt a new password. If the cleartext password is, say, welcome1, do the following -
- Go to AIA_HOME/Infrastructure/install/install/wlscripts/config
- Run command: ./encrypt.sh welcome1
This is useful for re-encrypting any of the passwords that are captured during installation in the deploy.properties file. I can't say for sure that it is the same encryption that is used for the P6 credentials, but it's worth a try.

CSS XML and superscripts and subscripts...

Hello all,
Simple... I am loading text into a dynamic text field via XML
and styling it using a CSS stylesheet . But here is my problem, how
can I use the <sup> and <sub> tags. Now, I have read on
live docs that the Flash player does NOT (that's right, does not)
support these properties of XML or HTML, which is hard for me to
believe. Has anyone out there found a work around... I have tried
pretty much everything.
Cheers

you're right, flash doesn't support these tags...

Reg : Password Type CSS Style

Hi Team,
My requiremetn is as below :
OAF page contains the following fields :
Name :
Password:
Re-Enter Password :
All fields should be text-input.
So my requirement is that : the entered password should not be shown as normal text, it should be masked with '*' while user entering the passwords. Which is a default behaviour in many of the websites.
So how to create a CSS style for it ?? Do we have any inbuilt css styles available in OAF ??
FYI: Login site for Oracle Apps which is built on OAF is having this behaviour (password is masked with '*') , but i could not find the exact CSS which it is using.
Please provide your thoughts.
Regards
Sridhar

You don't need to use a CSS class. If you are usnig the OAMessageTextInputBean you can just call the setSecret(boolean) method.

Flex 4, exporting a Release Build does not include CSS/XML?

Hello
So I'm using external CSS and XML. I'm pulling the CSS with <fx:Style source="CSS/styles.css" /> and am using HTTPService to fetch the XML data.
It works great, until I export as a Release Build.
It doesn't include the CSS or XML files, but still pulls the CSS colors and whatnot, I just can't update them.
What gives? How can I get the CSS and XML external files to.. well, stay "external"?
I need the user to be able to update the CSS and XML on their end, but can't if the Release Build embeds the CSS and XML files before exporting..
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

dont think Flex can read a raw CSS sheet. You have to precompile them, right click on the file in project explorer and chose compile CSS to SWF

CSS XML Help

Hi i am trying to build a really simple banner that loads from an XML file. The idea was that the client wanted to be able to change things such as font colour, button colour, image links etc but the client would also like to alter the font or font family. I basically want to have a CSS inside the actionscript so that I can set the font family as a variable and change it via the xml. I think this is the best way to do it, or alternatively the client could just adjust an external CSS themselves. So far I have not got this to work and would greatly appreciate any help n loading in CSS in actionscript 2.0 as I have very little experience with it.
Below is the actionscript I already have in place .
1st Frame
// Load XML
var xmlItems = new Array();
langXML = new XML();
langXML.ignoreWhite = true;
langXML.load('setup.xml');
langXML.onLoad = function(sucess) {
        if (sucess) {
                parseFile(langXML);
                //trace(menuItems);
play();
        } else {
trace("XML problem!");
function parseFile(xmlDoc_xml) {
        for (var a = 0; a<xmlDoc_xml.firstChild.childNodes.length; a++) {
// push labels into Array
xmlItems.push(xmlDoc_xml.firstChild.childNodes[a].firstChild.nodeValue);
trace(xmlItems);
Frame where content loads in :
// init movie
textTitle.text = xmlItems[0];
textsubTitle.text = xmlItems[1];
imageURL = xmlItems[2];
// Create Varible for RGB colour reference
titleColour = "0x" + xmlItems[3];
trace("titleColour:" + titleColour);
new Color(textTitle).setRGB(titleColour);
subtitleColour = "0x" + xmlItems[4];
trace("subtitleColour:" + subtitleColour);
new Color(textsubTitle).setRGB(subtitleColour);
clickURL = xmlItems[5];
buttonColour = "0x"+ xmlItems[6]
new Color(buttonBG).setRGB(buttonColour);

to specify a font, you'll need to embed the font. unless you embed all fonts your client may want to choose, you have a difficult task ahead of you: dynamically embedding fonts in as2 is no easy task.
you may have other problems but, that's the key to your issue.

CSS.xml does not have info about my Configured External User directories??

Hello,
Can somebody help me. I do not see any mention of my external directories I have configured in Shared Services as I have reinstalled the Applicationn server Tomcat for 11.1.13.
Appreciate any help,
Thanks
Vince

Hi,
Not too sure what you mean.
Have you configured your external user directories via the user management console?
Can you see the node for your external directory?
Can you provide the steps you have followed?
Thanks,
Seb

Encrypting password in xml file

Hi
I want to encrypt the passwords in my xml configuration files. So I read some articles and found this method. I tried to use it in my progroam , it gives me an error, saying
java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Algorithm DESede not available
The method is,
public static String getEncryptedString(String input)throws Exception{
Security.addProvider( new com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE() );
Key key = null;
KeyGenerator kg = KeyGenerator.getInstance("DES");
key = kg.generateKey();
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES/ECB/PKCS5Padding");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);
byte[]inputBytes = input.getBytes("UTF8");
byte[] outputBytes = cipher.doFinal(inputBytes);
BASE64Encoder encoder = new BASE64Encoder();
String base64 = encoder.encode(outputBytes);
return base64;
Would appreciate if any one tells me why this error is thrown and how to get it working.
Thanks
