Portal Security Question

Our SAP Portal Version is NetWeaver 7.01 SP5 which uses an ABAP UME .
We are planning to implement the Security Question Feature and it has been implemented in Test systems Succesfully .
The Issue is that there are already 20,000 + Users in Portal .
What we plan to do is set "Birthdate" as default Question for users Already in the Portal so that when user goes to change his password he can give his birthdat and his password is reset .
The issue is , I do not know , which TABLE stores the Security Question and Answer .
Any Ideas !!!
Regards,
Ashish .A. Poojary

That's sound good!
We will definitely try this way.
Meanwhile we decided to play safe.
We recently configured the security question feature for portal with thousands of existing users. We need to configure date of birth as default questions for all these existing users.
Now me made a small change in plan, we are planning to set Birth Year as Security question. So we will collection the encrypted
code for each year from portal  database, then try to schedule a batch of jobs to update Q&A for different set of users based on their Birth Year.
Will update you the status.
Thank you Voros  for your great support.  Happy Christmas!
Regards
Baby

  • Disable Security question tab in Roadmap step from Logon help window of Portal

    Hi Experts,
    After Upgrade of my portal server to NW 7.3, I see Security Questions as a Road map Step in inactive status.Before the upgrade it was not showing.
    Because of this, Users will be confused seeing an inactive tab showing up.
    Please refer the attached screen shot and advise how to remove this"Security question" from road map.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Suresh Babu

    Hi Rishi,
    Thank you for your reply, Our portal version is Netweaver731 SPS07, Here we didn't find the parameter “ ume.logon.logon_help” said by you, but instead of this we have “ume.logon.logon_help.security question”, and its already have value "false". We also found security question option disabled under user admin options.
    Here screen shots are for your reference.
    Note: In our case "security question" showing in the road map but it’s not active and not asking for security question while resetting the password, and this issue is after upgrading from NW7.0 Ehp2  SPS11 to Netweaver731 SPS07.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Security Question and Awnser

    Hallo,
    i want to modifiy with WD or "Portal Component" the "security question" and "the answer of the security question" for a user.
    I want to develop my own "my profiles" application. It's realy easy to develop "my profiles" without the "security guestion" if i use ume. But how i can modify the "security question" and the "answer" for a logged on portal user??
    Thanks a lot.

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665 :
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers (the steps half-way down that page should give you a reset link)
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID passwordcontact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    If you can’t reset them via the above instructions (you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • Security Question Password Re-Set

    Hi we are going through the process of enabling users to change there own password, this is to fall in line with a change in UME source to AD, so we don't have to e-mail hundreds of users with new passwords, we are collecting all the information now enabling the security question so when it comes to switch over they can just answer there pre defined question and set there own password.
    So we are not going into this blind and our service desk have an idea of how many calls they may get or so we can find out if no one has filled in the information
    We would like to know how many people have filled this information in, is there any way to find out which users or even just how many users have configured there security question???
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    I haven't spent the time to implement one. Your DBA should be able to write the SQL query, all he/she needs to know is that the relevant table is UME_STRINGS of the portal database schema <SID>. The query could first query all distinct users (column PID) where one of the security questions is set (eg. NAMESP = com.sap.security.core.usermanagement, ATTR = securityquestionpredefined, VAL = SECURITY_QUESTION_%). Security questions defined by the user can be queried by using ATTR = securityquestion.

  • I can't reset my security questions

    Hi,
    My mother just bought an iTunes gift card to make a purchase on her iTunes account, but when I add the card it tells me that she has to answer to the security questions.
    The problem is that the answers that she gives me (which, as her son I know are right by all the stories she told me growing up), are apparently wrong.
    I tried to see if the answers are case sensitive, but no luck. After that I tried to reset the security questions by sending the reset email to the secondary email address... the problem is: it never gets there.
    I tried to change the secondary email address and even tried to add another one to it, but it doesn't even let me do that.
    So:
    to make a purchase I need to respond to security questions
    security questions tell me the answers are wrong
    sending reset security questions email doesn't get sent/recieved
    secondary email address doesn't receive the reset email
    no possibillity to add another secondary email address because all email addresses are apparently in use (which isn't true, I have tried 7 different email addresses, and all are in use (not possible)
    no possibillity to verify the existing secondary email address because the verification email doesn't get sent/recieved (double checked in mail app on different phones and on web portal to exclude problems with the app)
    Im running out of tools in my toolbox to fix this and have a nice set of goose eggs because of hitting my head against brick walls, so if there is someone that can tell me how to fix this so that my mom can finally play word feud without ads, because right now it seems like as if Apple doesn't want to have her money...

  • External Portal - Security Best Practice

    We will be initiating an external portal for ESS access. For those using ESS from home, what type of additional security access is anyone using if the person happens to lock themselves out of their ESS account? Do you have a security question built into ESS? Are you using a security grid to reset their password? I'm looking to see what other alternatives people are using.
    Thanks
    Pam Major

    Hi Tim: Here's my basic approach for this -- I create either a portal dynamic page or a stored procedure that renders an HTML parameter form. You can connect to the database and render what ever sort of drop downs, check boxes, etc you desire. To tie everything together, just make sure when you create the form, the names of the fields match that of the page parameters created on the page. This way, when the form posts to the same page, it appends the values for the page parameters to the URL.
    By coding the entire form yourself, you avoid the inherent limitations of the simple parameter form. You can also use advanced JavaScript to dynamically update the drop downs based on the values selected or can cause the form to be submitted and update the other drop downs from the database if desired.
    Unfortunately, it is beyond the scope of this forum to give you full technical details, but that is the approach I have used on a number of portal sites. Hope it helps!

  • Oracle Forms and Portal. & Portal Security

    I need the following questions answered for a client who is
    trying to move from IIS to Oracle Portal. any pointers would be
    extremely helpful
    1. How to configure Oracle Forms to run with Portal.
    2. Is it possible to display forms inside a Portlet. If so, will
    the forms hold the same state when the page is refresed.
    3. Is it possible to display WORD/PDF/EXECL documents in their
    native format inside a Portlet.
    4. Any information on how IIS security integration is possible
    with POrtal. i.e ( if there are ASP pages running on IIS
    security, how to integrate it with Portal Security mechanism
    -Thanks
    ganesh

    You can create roles in Oracle with the appropriate privileges to access the application. For example,
    you could create a role that has only read access to all the tables in the database. You could assign this role to the menu. Also, you may want a role for a manager that whould enable him to insert data or to see a few special forms. You could assign this role to the menu associated with the form.
    Using Form Builder, you can manage menu security with Oracle server roles. After defining the roles to use for a menu module, you could then specify the roles that have access to each menu item. When you set the 'Use Security' property of a menu module to 'Yes', the form enforces security. After setting the 'Use Security' property to 'Yes', you can use 'Module Roles' property to construct the entire list of roles with access to that menu module.
    I hope it helps.

  • Set Security Question & Answer using UME API in Web dynpro Java

    Hi Experts,
    I;ve developed a Web Dynpro java application to create a user in UME.
    I am able to set all the user account related attributes but I am not able to set the security question and answer as I do not see any attribute for the same.
    Can anyone please suggest how to set the Security question and answer in UME?
    This is required so that if the user wishes to reset his password / forgets password, we can ask him the security question which he selected at the time of registration.
    Please let me know if it can be achieved at the code level and whether UME API supports security question and answer or any such attribute.
    Also, if no such attribute is present by default in UME at the moment; can we create/configure some custom attributes in UME and store the security question and answer into those attributes. This would serve our purpose.
    Kindly assist.
    Regards,
    Anurag

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot for the reply!!!
    I have one doubt here:
    You've mentioned the below code to fetch the security questions in your reply:
    IUser user = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getSAPUser();
    String CUSTOMER_NAMESPACE = "com.sap.security.core.usermanagement";
    String attmotname [] = user.getAttribute(CUSTOMER_NAMESPACE,"MotherName");
    String attlucknum [] = user.getAttribute(CUSTOMER_NAMESPACE,"LuckyNumber");
    String attmobnum [] = user.getAttribute(CUSTOMER_NAMESPACE,"MobileNumber");.
    But this would be only applicable when the user has already logged on to the portal as it uses "WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getSAPUser();" code.
    On the contrary, I want the security questions and answer to be accessed even when the user is not logged on to Portal so that based on the question & answer, the user can reset his password.
    Please suggest, how can we achieve this and where and how to set the custom attributes for the same?
    Do we have to set the Publicly Viewable Custom Attributes present at location you mentioned in your reply?
    Also, if yes; please let me know how to set the custom attributes?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Anurag

  • I dont know my Apple security questions, I dont know my Apple security questions

    I got a new iPod for my birthday and I can't buy anything and it tells me to enter in my security questions and I don't know them
    HELP

    Hi,
    In more recent times when you create an Apple ID you are asked to  specify the answers to the Security Questions.
    If that Apple ID is the one you posted here with then you can use this Portal
    Click the Manage Account line and enter your Apple ID and password.
    On the following page is a menu and you can chose Password and Security.
    This page will show you the Questions and starred out answers (the stars bear no relevance to the number of characters in the password)
    The Question is a Drop down of the other options and I suggest changing the question and supplying the answer.
    Some people have only one question set and other have up to three.

  • Resetting AppleID security questions

    Good Day
    I have not forgotten my password and can access my account with no problem however i am having a problem authorizing my pc as it asks me to enter my ID and Password and once i have done that it then asks me to answer two of the three security questions i answered when setting up however i cannot remember them at all so now i would like to know if i can reset them in anyway. I have e-mailed apple support and all i got was i must reset my password and as you can tell by now that is not the problem i am having.
    Thanks

    HI,
    As you know the password and can access your Account in various places then Start Here
    This is the Apple ID Support page
    It is a portal to create a new Or Login with an Existing Name.
    Choose Manage Account to Login.
    Once you have logged in at the next page you then go to your account.
    On the left is a Menu with Security and Passwords.
    As you entered the page with your passwords you don't have to re-enter any details.
    You can change the Answers to the Question your originally set or you can change both Questions and Answers  (I would not suggest changing Questions only as you would still need to remember the answers that you say you can't ast the moment )

  • My iPad wont let me download apps bc security questions, but when I try to make them it freezes

    Every time I try to download an app it tells me I need to update my security questions, but once I click to make the questions the box goes white. So I'm not sure how to fix it

    The new questions show on your account on http://appleid.apple.com ? If they do then try logging out and back into your account on your phone (assuming that is where you are trying to purchase from) and see if the new questions then show on it.

  • How do I delete an Apple iCloud account from my iPhone without password, security questions, or email?

    For some reason, an old iD is stuck on my phone. My iPhone 4s is nearly filled with documents and data, to the point where I cannot take pictures, and I can't reset it without using this old iD. I don't know why this is now popping up instead of the one I am registered with. I gained access to the old email the iD is under, but none of the iTunes emails are coming in so I assume it is set up under a different email. For the security question of birthdays, I tried every household member's birthday, and none worked. I have tried the password we used on that account when it was active, along with every other possiblility. I don't know what to do anymore and I have very limited use of my phone if I don't get this sorted out and deleted from my phone.
    Thank you for any help!

    Not without password.

  • How can I access my iCloud email account when I don't remember the password and Apple won't accept the answer to my security question?

    I set up an email account with " @me.com". I get a wrong password message when I try to log in. When I try to change my password I get an INcorrect answer message to the security question I'm asked my birth date so I know I have it right, unless I did a typo when I set up the account. When I choose email me the reset password lnk I cannot retrieve the email because it won't accept the password. I wanted to justemail Apple for instructions but cannot find an email address for that. Any help would be appreciated.

    I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.
