Passwords in the ousr table

The paasords in the OUSR table, It's encrypted, is there anyway to unecrypt it?? Are they hashing it because then it's impossible. Does anyone know what encryption method is being used on the passwords??
Thanks

Hi Louis,
AFAIK there is no way to unencrypt the password. As you will understand, this could be dangerous.
If you need the password to connect both UI and DI API, you could use Single Sign-on method, which is well described in DI API help file and in this forums. If you need it for another app, I don´t think you can reuse it.
I use to save the user and password in a hidden resource file, so I can find it and change it manually. Then my app reads this file and get both data.
Hope helps,
Ibai Peñ

How to encrypt password field in JHS_USERS table?

Hi,
We have developed an application using Jdeveloper 10.1.3 and Jheadstart 10.1.3.2.52 version. we are using custom login module using oracle.security.jazn.login.module.db.DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule class.
We need to encrypt the password in the table JHS_USERS.
Please let us know the best way of doing it.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Rama Krishna. P

Thanks Brent, for pointing my to dbms_crypto package, which seems to be the successor of dbms_obfuscation_toolkit that I was looking at.
I just jumped in in the middle of this thread, my specific requirements might differ from the topic starter's requirements.
Unencrypted storage of passwords in the JHS_USERS table is judged as very unsecure by the security officers that are auditing our application. Anybody with access to the table (DBAs, support engineers, developers, etc.) can read the passwords. As users tend to reuse passwords or password patterns across applications, this is a serious security issue that goes beyond the scope of just our application. So the requirements are: It should not be possible to retrieve a unencrypted password by means of a select statement on JHS_USERS table.
The solution we are heading for is:
- A stored function that generates an MD5-encrypted string for the password, based on the unencrypted password and username. (Using MD5-facilities of dbms_crypto or dbms_obfuscation_toolkit package.)
- Database triggers on JHS_USERS that converts unencrypted password when a user is created or password is changed. (Using the before mentioned stored function.)
- MD5 is a one-directioal encryption mechanism. So the stored passwords cannot be decrypted. This is exactly what we are looking for in terms of security. But I think it forces us to customize the authenticateUser method. That method compares the password entered in the logon page with the password retrieved from JHS_USERS. So just before that comparison, we have to convert the entered username/password combination to a MD5-string too. (Preferable by using the before mentioned stored function again, to be 100% sure that the same algoritm is applied.)
This solution seems to be quit simple and straight forward. However, before starting the implementation I am very curious for experiences (and drawbacks) with similar constructs.

Error while creating the DWH tables using DAC

Hi,
I am getting error while creating the DWH tables using DAC. I have created a ODBC DSN using merant driver with DAC repository DB credentials and the test connection is successful. And while creating the tables i gave the olap dw credentials and the DSN name which i created earlier. But it throws the error as below:

The fact that you are getting an "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied" message indicates that you are at least talking to the database.
The log shows that username "infdomain" is being used. Can you double check the username and password you have in DAC in a SQL*Plus/SQL Developer session?

Secure the password of the schema in the application server

Hi,
my application is using one schema, and the users are stored in a table within that schema. When the user run the application, the schema password is not required since it is stored in formsweb.cfg file as userid=username/password@servicename. the problem with this, is that anyone is able to know the schema password by opening the formsweb.cfg.
is there any way to make the password invisible in the application server ?
Thanx

Hi
1. What is the version of the Oracle Fusion Middleware you are using?
2. Why would the users have access to the formsweb.cfg file?
Please provide the above info to get further assistance.

How map to my particular table to the fact table in obiee 11g...

Hi friends,
I did this simple report in obiee 11g(i.e)
"NATIONALITY COUNT IN DEPARTMENT WISE"
For that i used the following tables:
per_all_assignments_f----->fact table
hr_all_organization_units----->dim table(containing departments)
per_all_people_f---------------->dim table(containing nationality)
I made all the mappings in the physical diagram, as also viewed my report in BI answers
It shows the following results like
NATIONALITY---------------------------------------------------------------------COUNT(NATIONALITY)
AUS------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------24
AFR------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------25
PHQ_VB-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------40
SH_VT----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------4
The problem is for me it is showing the above results, but the nationality column is of various codes of the country.
Since i doesnt want the code of the nationalitian to display in the results..i need the meaning of each and every nationality..
like,
AUS------------------------Australian
AFR-------------------------African
PHQ_VB----------------------Germanian(assigned)
Since i know that the meaning for the nationalitian is available in "FND_LOOKUP_VALUES"...okay..
I can import "FND_LOOKUP_VALUES" table to the physical layer...but how i can able to give the mapping to the fact table in my physical diagram...
In my report the fact table is "per_all_assignments_f"
As my fact table doesnt contains any matching column corresponding to the dimension table "FND_LOOKUP_VALUES".....
Then how i can give mappings to the fact column???? for viewing the full meaning of the nationalitian in my report.....Help me friends...

Harry...

Hi bifact,
I followed the step that U asked me to go but im stuck with later.....
*) I saved the query that i executed in toad with the columns showing country codes and country meaning to the excel sheet...
This is the query that i executed in toad and copied data s in excel sheet..
select z.lookup_code, z.meaning
from per_all_people_f e, per_all_assignments_f f, hr_all_organization_units h, fnd_lookup_values z where
e.person_id = f.person_id and f.organization_id = h.organization_id and e.business_group_id = f.business_group_id
and f.business_group_id = h.business_group_id and f.location_id = h.location_id
AND z.lookup_type(+) = 'NATIONALITY'AND z.lookup_code(+) = e.nationality and sysdate between
e.effective_start_date and e.effective_end_date and e.nationality is not null
*) After that i created a system DSN for the excel drive..
*) After that when i tried to import metadata of the excel data that is saved, it showed me connection failed...
For importing this excel data
what connection details i need to give:--------------------
as well as user name and also password...
Soon after importing this excel you said that to give key connection only to fnd_lookup_tables(dim) and that excel data..
if so, again im not giving key connection to my fact table..
I think again the same error will occur that no logical mapping is not made to fact so again repository is inconsistent...
Hi bifact sorry to ask you, but can you see the steps that i followed is correct and after that wat more steps i need to proceed..Can you tell me in breif manner...Thanks for your help...

How do I update the result table ?

I am having problem to design and update the competition results in WPC_RESULTS table.
I have 3 tables
1. WPC_COMPETITION - It has details of the competition to be conducted.
2. WPC_MEMBERS - Member details.
3. WPC_RESULTS - Competition results which will have Member_ID, Competition_ID and Status.
In Region 1. I have a drop down list from which I can select the Competition.
Problem is with region 2.
==================
In Region 2. I plan to have All the Member's Name from WPC_MEMBERS, a Status column (W=Win or L=Lost or X=NotPlayed) from WPC_RESULT which can be updated. But the table WPC_RESULTS dosenot have a primary key but has 2 foreign key one from WPC_COMPETITION and one from WPC_MEMBERS.
I am just not able to plan & create this region 2.
Can someone login to my wokspace and give me a helping hand.
Please mail me at [email protected] and I would give you the password for my workspace.
Regards,
Nikhil Karnik

My problem is since the WPC_RESULT table has two master tables. I cannot use a Master Detail form.
What I am trying is,
On a form which displays all the member in WPC_MEMBERS, Drop down list of competition name from WPC_COMPETITION table and a there should be checkbox for status column of WPC_RESULT. So my challenge is to update the WPC_RESULT table with the respective member id and competition id and status in WPC_RESULT table.
As you said I can use a PL/SQL, but I could not understand how do create my PLSQL block to identify each member on the form and update the competition status associated with that member.
in short the table definition is like
CREATE TABLE "WPC_COMPETITION"
(     "COMPETITION_NAME" VARCHAR2(100),
     "COMPETITION_CODE" NUMBER,
     "DATE_CONDUCTED" DATE,
     CONSTRAINT "WPC_PK1" PRIMARY KEY ("COMPETITION_CODE") ENABLE
CREATE TABLE "WPC_COMPETITION"
(     "COMPETITION_NAME" VARCHAR2(100),
     "COMPETITION_CODE" NUMBER,
     "DATE_CONDUCTED" DATE,
     CONSTRAINT "WPC_PK1" PRIMARY KEY ("COMPETITION_CODE") ENABLE
CREATE TABLE "WPC_RESULTS"
(     "COMPETITION_CODE" NUMBER,
     "STATUS" VARCHAR2(1),
     "MEMBER_ID" NUMBER
ALTER TABLE "WPC_RESULTS" ADD CONSTRAINT "WPKD_FK1" FOREIGN KEY ("COMPETITION_CODE")
     REFERENCES "WPC_COMPETITION" ("COMPETITION_CODE") ENABLE
ALTER TABLE "WPC_RESULTS" ADD CONSTRAINT "WPKD_FK2" FOREIGN KEY ("MEMBER_ID")
     REFERENCES "WPC_MEMBERS" ("MEMBER_ID") ENABLE

Can some one help me in identifying the issue.

Hello,
errno -22 means " Table already exists."
This could occur if:
- The install had failed before during the 2nd stage (i.e. some tables were created previously) and you did not drop the schema before re-install.
- The database user you are using has access to more than 1 WCS schemas and thought the tables exist already.
Suggestions:
1. Make sure the db user is set up as per the Configuring Supporting Software document ( http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29495_01/doc.1111/webcenter_sites_11gr1_bp1_configuring_supporting_software.pdf )
2. If the second stage of the install fails, you must drop the database tables, undeploy the WebCenter Sites application, delete the WebCenter Sites file structure, and re-install WebCenter Sites. ( http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29495_01/doc.1111/webcenter_sites_11gr1_bp1_install_on_weblogic.pdf )

Authentication Scheme with Username / Password stored in App Table

Hi all,
Up to now all of our applications have used SSO authentication, but I now need to step away from this to allow users from outside our organisation (and therefore not in our OID system) to use one specific application.
I therefore have a table in my application that stores username and password. I have a function that compares the entered username and password to this table and returns a boolean result. This function is then registered in my Authentication Scheme as the Authentication function.
All this works well and is causing no problems. The problem is that the password is stored and checked in plain text - obviuosly not very good.
How do I go about changing the password column in my table, the pages that allow this password to be set and updated and the authentication function that checks the username / password to use some form of encryption?
Also, do I need to be worrying about all the other fields (Page Sentry Function,Session Verify Function, Pre-Authentication Process etc) that the Authentication Scheme offers me - or can I just leave these blank as they are now.
If someone can give me a complete 'out-of-the-box' solution that would be wonderful - otherwise a good hard pusj int he right direction would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Martin

Hello Martin,
If you check out the Discussion Forum application here, you should find the information you need. This app stores an encrypted version of the user's password in the table.

Management Console not logging the BPCLog table

Hi guys. Hope you can help
We have a multi-server environment, built on Server 2008R2 64-bit (both Web/App and SQL servers).
Basically, BPC is working fine, but the Management Console is not logging anything to the BPCLog table in AppServer.
I have run through the normal ODBC logging setup:
Created a new SQL login (bpc_management_console_user), assigned a password, mapped as DBO on AppServer database.
Created a new System DSN on the Web/App Server named BPC_ManagementDSN and connected successfully using the above credentials.
Disable "Windows Authentication" and enable "Basic Authentication" in IIS 7 for the Management Console website
Run the APPCMD commands to enable ODBC logging on the Default Web Site
Output of "APPCMD LIST CONFIG "Default Web Site" /section:odbcLogging" is as follows:
<system.webServer>
<odbcLogging dataSource="BPC_ManagementDSN" tableName="BPCLog" userName="bpc_management_console_user" password="{Blanked for obvious resons}" />
</system.webServer>
I've re-checked all of this and restarted IIS, but nothing at all is being written to BPCLog.
Has anyone any suggestions on things that I can try (I suspect it is down to running on Server 2008)
BTW - We run BPC 7.5 SP05
Thanks

Hi there,
Were you able to get this working?
You may need to create a 32 bit ODBC datasource for this.
The 32-bit ODBC Administrator is found here: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe

Programatically change username and password if the data source

Hi all,
I searched but could not find the answer for how to programamtically change the username /password of the datasource created by the Servers tab under JSC2.
My database is Oracle and I use the logins to specify the security policy. So I would like to be able to use the username/password when the user logs in and use these info to make the connection to the database server instead of the ones I provide when creating the data source.
Thanks for your advice,
DT

The username/password can be set for the datasource via the CachedRowSet created for the datasource.
For example if you drop the sample Travel->person table on the visual designer a "personDataProvider" is created. Here's the code to set the username/password.
personDataProvider.getCachedRowset().setUsername("me");
personDataProvider.getCachedRowset().setPassword("mypassword");-David

I am looking for a way to make fnd_user table as an authenticator for a weblogic users.
Is it possible in first place without OVD and SSO ? My goal is to have fnd_users involve in human task approvals.
Thanks
Sai

I think your question is: how do you compare the encrypted password in FND_USER to the password that the end user entered in your custom application front end?
If that is indeed your question, you can decrypt the password in FND_USER as follows:
1) Take the standard fnd_web_sec package and make a copy called cust_fnd_web_sec. Delete all procedures in the package body except for decrypt. Then add decrypt to the package spec.
create or replace PACKAGE apps.cust_fnd_web_sec AUTHID CURRENT_USER AS
function decrypt(key in varchar2, value in varchar2)
return varchar2;
END cust_FND_WEB_SEC;
create or replace PACKAGE BODY apps.cust_fnd_web_sec AS
-- Exception
dml_inside_query exception;
pragma exception_init(dml_inside_query,-14551);
-- Function to encrypt a string using a specified key.
function decrypt(key in varchar2, value in varchar2)
return varchar2
as language java name 'oracle.apps.fnd.security.WebSessionManagerProc.decrypt(java.lang.String,java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
END cust_FND_WEB_SEC;
2) Run the following query to decrypt the password.
WITH guest AS
SELECT 'GUEST/ORACLE' user_pwd,
UPPER (SUBSTR ('GUEST/ORACLE',
1,
INSTR ('GUEST/ORACLE',
- 1
) user_name
FROM DUAL)
SELECT distinct u.user_name,
apps.cust_fnd_web_sec.decrypt
((SELECT apps.cust_fnd_web_sec.decrypt
(g.user_pwd,
u.encrypted_foundation_password
) apps_password
FROM apps.fnd_user u,
apps.guest g
WHERE u.user_name = g.user_name),
u.encrypted_user_password
) decrypted_user_password
FROM apps.fnd_user u,
apps.fnd_user_resp_groups_direct r
where u.user_id = r.user_id
and u.user_name = <user name>
Good luck!

Best approach to get the source tables into Target

Hi
I am new to Goldengate and I would like to know what is the best approach to get the Source tables to be replicated into the target (oracle to oracle) before performing the initial load without using exp/expdp . Is there any native Goldengate utility which i can use during the initial load or before that will create the tables on the target before loading the data ?
Thanks

i dont think so, for the initial load replication your struncture should be available at target machine. once your machines are in sync then you can use goldengate ddl setup for automatically replicate the table with data.
Batter approach for you to create a structure on target machine using export improt. In export use conect=metadata_only for copy the structure only.....
like
EXPDP <<user>>/<<password>>@connection_string schemas=abc directory=TEST_DIR dumpfile= gg.dmp Content = metadata_only logfile= gg.log

How to compare the texted password with the encrypted password of dba_users

Hi,
I have Oracle 10g in my system. I know dba_users table has information of all the created users of the oracle, along with their encrypted passwords.If I want to make a login page based on this table ,how could I compare the password in that case?
In above situation, I am getting the username with the regular texted password for authentication check. How can we checked this texted password with the encrypted password of dba_users, for the respective username?
Your input would be appreciated.

Try use the username/password from login page to create an connection to database.
