Problem using reset_pw to change password

When sending out emails from HTMLDB using wwv_flow_fnd_user_api.reset_pw to change passwords HTMLDB used the email of the user as the from user. Our SMTP server will only allow valid users to send emails!
As a work-around we're updating the P_FROM column in WWV_FLOW_MAIL_QUEUE to a valid user if the email is stuck in the queue and then pushing then queue.
Anybody have a better solution?
Oracle, will you fix this "BUG"? and allow the from user to be specified as an optional parameter?
BTW: Many of the other email features are locked down in the email packages provided with HTMLDB. Could we get access to reply-to, error-to, from, and other email standard parameters?

Michael,
I might be missing something, but you say "our SMTP server will only allow valid users to send emails". So if your SMTP server has this limitation, is not a null From message header also an invalid e-mail address?
I just tried a test using the UTL_SMTP package (which is employed by HTML DB). I initiated a message to an SMTP server which did not validate the From field and it went through. I did a second message, identical to the first one with a bogus From address, and sent it to another SMTP server and it was rejected with "SMTP permanent error: 553 5.5.4 zzzz... Domain name required for sender address zzzz". I believe this error message is coming back from the SMTP server, it is not an Oracle creation.
On a separate note, if this is the reset password functionality and you are 1) using the same address for the "To" and the "From", and 2) this is the e-mail address that the user will received their reset password, if the e-mail address is bogus in the first place, how would the user ever receive this e-mail?

C370 - Problem changing password from GUI

Hi,
I'm facing a problem when trying to change password when it's expired (by password policy) at C370 w/ 7.6.3-019.
Already tried at IE 9.0 and FF 24.6.0 ED without success. The only way I can change password is from CLI.

Is this per the System Administration > Local User Account & Password Settings, w/ password reset rules set there? Specific account/admin account? Or a custom defined account?
From what you describe - sounds like would fall in-line with standard procedures if admin account related...
If you lock the admin account, you can only unlock it by logging in as the admin through a serial communications connection to the serial console port. The admin user can always access the appliance using the serial console port, even when the admin account is locked.
I hope this helps!

Jython having issue importing weblogic modules for changing passwords

I am trying to import some WLST modules into a Jython script as outline in the documentation at http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs92/config_scripting/config_WLS.html#wp1019971
The strange thing is that it says it is a WLST script, but it appears to be a Jython script. I tried performing this import using WLST interactive mode, but this did not work.
I am passing the passwords as encrypted strings while using the encrypt() function
Here is the script:
import sys
from weblogic.management.security.authentication import UserPasswordEditorMBean
#To be invoked by java -cp /usr/local/bea/wlserver_10.0/common/lib/jython.jar org.python.util.jython
#usage: wlst.sh ResetWLPassword.py <current_pass> <user> <new_pass> <adminServerURL>
#{3DES}/asdfadsf== -
#{3DES}asdfafdsadsf== -
myPass = sys.argv[1]
myUser = sys.argv[2]
newPass = sys.argv[3]
adminServerURL = sys.argv[4]
#Connect
try:
connect('weblogic',myPass,adminServerURL)
except:
print "Could not connect using supplied credentials"
dumpStack()
try:
print "Changing password ..."
atnr=cmo.getSecurityConfiguration().getDefaultRealm().lookupAuthenticationProvider("DefaultAuthenticator")
atnr.changeUserPassword(myUser,myuser,newPass)
print "Changed password successfully"
except:
print "Password change failed"
dumpStack()
I am receiving the following error message:
java -cp /usr/local/bea/wlserver_10.0/common/lib/jython.jar org.python.util.jython /tmp/ResetWLPassword.py "{3DES}/adsfadsfadsf==" weblogic "{3DES}asdfadsfasd== " t3://localhost:7003

You are calling org.python.util.jython again instead of weblogic.WLST like I advised in my first post. Invoke WLST (not jython) and pass your values in cleartext. Like I said in my previous post, I was able to execute your script without issue when calling WLST and passing cleartext values (I did have to modify one line to due a bug in your script -- see my prior posts).This seems to work in terms of getting the code to run, but there is still a problem with passing the arguments to the changeUserPassword() method.
I entered the sequence of commands in the script manually into WLST and it works without issue. It even works without the import, which is strange that Oracle includes it in their documentation.
I am going to post the code here, perhaps there is something wrong syntax-wise with the way I am authenticating, but I can't put my finger on it.

User change password after first logging in Oracle 11g

Hi
Can you help someone in connection with this problem:
user can not change password after first logging in Oracle 11g
All the best
Ragip Avdijaj

Sounds like they are not getting logged in at all, so they are never getting to the point where they can change the password, but we need to see more detail to give a better answer (an example or copy-paste of a sqlplus session might help)

View and change passwords for sys, system, sapr3

Dear All
1.I need to view the password the for account :
sys, system, sapr3
2. I need to know for how long passwords have not been changed?
. and how can i change these passwords?
Any sugestions??
Regards
Rajesh
Edited by: rajesh sharma on Oct 15, 2008 1:51 PM

Hi Rajesh,
1.I need to view the password the for account :
sys, system, sapr3
Its not possible to view the password, password is always encrypted format stored, if the default has not been changed for SYS, SYSTEM then their password are CHANGE_ON_INSTALL and MANAGER respectively.
2. I need to know for how long passwords have not been changed?
. and how can i change these passwords?
For knowing what date they were changed last,
- connect /as sysdba;
- SQL> select name, ptime from user$;
ptime will give you the last password change date.
you can view at what date the password will be expired by
- select username, account_status, expiry_date from dba_users;
change the password by brtools menu options or directly by chpass.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/4f/c3883989676778e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Note -
Always recommended to use brtools for changing password rather than using the sql commands.

Debasis.

MSChapV2 change-password packet request

Hi!
I am working around a CISCO ACS server to authorize users access in a web application. All is done and working but i would like now to support the password expiry procedure trought the MSChapV2 protocol.
I edit a user on the server with the password expiration and when i connect with his credentials i receive the correct message from server: a AccessReject packet with in MS CHAP ERROR the string with the code 648 (Password expiry).
I studied the RF2759 and it said that the change-password packet (id =7) should now be sent to change the old password with a new one.
I am using jradius to communicate with the server but nothing i found on internet about it and the use of the change-password packet (examples or something other).
Actually i found some sources (es.
http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/eap8021x/eap8021x-100/EAP8021X.fproj/mschap.c
) and i am tring to implement them converting the logic from C to java but it is going to be a very hard work.
Does somebody know something (examples, sources, libraries) about the change-password packet sending?
Thanks, bye
Emanuel

I have old email address's I used for iTune music purchases and cannot change password on several old accounts. Now some of the music I purchased I can not download and authorize it on my device. What can I do password security does not match my birthdate on two of the accounts. Apple can not send me email with a password authorization on several current accounts that I have with them. How can I contact Apple with this annoying problem I can not fix.

settings - app/iTunes store - sign out and sign back in with your new id.
Note - if your older apps needs an update it will use your old apple id and password, as Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.
You can't merge apple id.

Using Jackrabbit User Manager programmatically for changing passwords and getting user data.

I am trying to do a change password request using the Jackrabbit User Manager with the REST URL /system/userManager/user/<username>.changePassword.json. The problem I am having is that this request requires an oldPwd form param in the request. The issue is that when I am trying to do this request it is in response to the user selecting "Forgot Password" so our logic has created a random password which we then email to the user so they can use that the next time they want to login. We need to change that user's password in CRX so they can log in using it next time. Since they haven't logged in there is no session, NOT the problem. THE PROBLEMS, I don't know 1. how to use the userManager to get that user's old password, since /system/userManager/user/<username>.json doesn't appear to return the password and 2. if I could get the old password it most certainly will be encoded, some how, so I will need some decoding algorithm to pass it through in order to get the actual password to set as the oldPwd form param to my change password request. Please let me know if you require any further explanation. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, in advance, for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Mike Sucena

Hi Mike,

Justin:
Does your response mean that until version 2.1.2 of Jackrabbit User Manager is released I cannot change the password without knowing the old password?
No. It means that this feature is not available in version 2.1.0 of the Sling Jackrabbit User Manager bundle. It was added after that release. You have a number of options:
Build the bundle from source.
Use one of the SNAPSHOT bundles available from the Apache Snapshots repository.
Use the release which is being voted upon now (https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachesling-175/org/apache/sling/org .apache.sling.jcr.jackrabbit.usermanager/2.2.0/). (Note - we decided to use 2.2.0 as the version number rather than 2.1.2 as originally planned due to the scope of this release).
Write a different servlet which performs the same actions.
Meaning that being able to use either the credentials of the "Admin" user or using the credentials of a member of the "UserAdmin" group is not supported in the current released version 2.1.0?
Correct. It was added after the 2.1.0 release.
If I currently need the old password is there any Sling REST - Jackrabbit API call I can use in order to get the old password since using /system/userManager/user/<username>.json doesn't appear to return the password?
-Mike
The plain text password is not stored. And this should be considered a good thing.
If you have questions about the development process we follow in Sling (or at Apache as a whole), by all means ask on the Sling users mailing list. It is reasonably well-established and we love to talk about it.

Airport Extreme problems--drops connection and can't change password

Hi, I am having multiple problems with my Airport Extreme (n) base station. All of these problems occur on all three of my machines. MacBook Pro 2007 model, MacBook Pro i7 2.66, and iMac 24".
1. Sometimes the airport connection works, but then drops off for hours at a time with no explanation, and then starts working again by itself. The green light is lit all the time. Also the airport bars on my menu bar are showing that it's connected. However when I go through diagnostics it says I don't have a connection and to restart the modem, which I do to no avail.
2. When it is connected, there is often strange download activity (shown via istats menu), even when no applications are open. It's around 200k. When I turn the airport off the downloading stops. This only happens via airport base station connection, not when connected via ethernet.
3. I have tried numerous times to reset my AE base station password via airport utility. I go through the process. It tells me the configuration changes were successful and then it restarts the base station. When I reconnect the airport connection, it still uses the old password. I cannot get it to actually accept the new password.
Does anyone have similar experiences? I am not sure what to do and have not seen any simiar threads in the forum.
Thanks for any help,
lula

Yes, I am pretty sure it isn't that. That modem and it's connection works fine, but it's on the other side of the house.
These various problems (connection dropping, mysterious download when no apps are on, and not being able to change password) all started about two months ago, before that I never had problems with the airport. I have had the same ADSL modem (provided by my phone/cable company) the whole time.
What possible problems do you think the provided modem could cause?
And why am I not be able to change my airport password? That part really puzzles me.
Do you think if I bought a new modem--one completely independent and not connected to a particular isp it would solve the problem. I am willing to try that, but I don't know if it will make a difference.

Change Password on first use does not work properly.

I have created apex application user in Oracle Apex 3.2 as follows
BEGIN
APEX_UTIL.CREATE_USER(
p_user_name => 'NEWUSER1',
p_web_password => 'secret99');
END;
As in the documentation
p_change_password_on_first_use IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'Y',
User should be prompted to change password at first use. But it does not work properly. There is no such message. Still accepts user to log in with old passord that was first given to the user. I have tried explicitly to ensure change password at first log in. by
BEGIN
APEX_UTIL.CREATE_USER(
p_user_name => 'NEWUSER1',
p_web_password => 'secret99',
p_change_password_on_first_use =>'Y');
END;
Still does not work. How can I ensure user to change password on first login.

Might be a long way around the problem but I would utilize a boolean flag in a column (FIRST_LOGIN) your custom auth table set to 'Y' when you create their account. Then on the login page have a page process something like:
** NOT TESTED **
declare
v_first VARCHAR2(10;
v_session NUMBER;
begin
v_session := APEX_CUSTOM_AUTH.GET_NEXT_SESSION_ID;
select FIRST_LOGIN into v_first from AUTH_TABLE where user_name = :P101_USERNAME and :P101_PASSWORD;
if v_first = 'Y' then
wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login(
P_UNAME => :P101_USERNAME,
P_PASSWORD => :P101_PASSWORD,
P_SESSION_ID => v_session,
P_FLOW_PAGE => :APP_ID||':2' *** THIS IS YOUR PAGE TO HAVE THEM RESET THEIR PASSWORD ***
else
wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login(
P_UNAME => :P101_USERNAME,
P_PASSWORD => :P101_PASSWORD,
P_SESSION_ID => v_session,
P_FLOW_PAGE => :APP_ID||':1' *** MAIN LOGIN PAGE *****
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
*** handled **
end;
The page 2 in this example would have an few items for them to enter their new password twice, a page process to update their password in the auth table and then redirect them to the intended first page.
Not sure if it meets your setup.

I have turned the phone on and off along with the iPad several times and waited for the apple symbol to appear but now I am running out of things to try.
Thanks

Windows 2008 Terminal Server "user must change password at next logon" problem with Windows 7 client.

Hi,
I have a fully patched Windows 2008 SP2 Terminal Server and a fully patched Windows 7 client.
I have logged into the Windows 2008 SP2 Terminal Server server with a test account via RDC before.
When I try to log in via RDC to the 2008 TS with a test account which has been marked with the setting "User must change password at next logon" I get the RDC message "You must change your password before logging on the first time. For assistance, contact your system administrator or technical support." I need to force the user to change their password once it has been issued, any ideas on how this can be done?
Thanks,
Dan

This does not resolve my issue all the way. I'm having the same problem; When i'm "deploying" users, i always want the users to set their own passwords. Ok, so I then set the auth mode to "RDP Security layer". It seemed to work fine, and it does for that
special purpose.
Just like Daniel, my clients are connecting to our terminal server from several/different "customer-domains" So, they can't logon locally(on their local computer) and change their password, it has to be done THROUGH the terminal server.
But if I turn on RDP Security Layer, users can't use remoteapp through tsgw they only get: "Your Remote Desktop Connection Failed because the remote computer cannot be authenticated" Any ideas?
Also, our terminal servers is round robin based in a farm. So users connect to: tsfarm.domain.com(yes, public a-record which resolves to two internal adresses) This is because, we're using a wilcard *.domain.com as SSL certificate.
But, when i'm using this, our clients sometimes get double auth when they login. I only get the double auth when tsfarm.domain.com resolves to server A, but the session broker wants the user to be on server B.(load balancing)
This does not occur when SSL is enforced, any ideas?

I have a Mac Pro using Lion, with a SSD for system. Restored drive from backup. Now logon password doesn't work. Account password still works. Changing password in user group preferences no longer works to change logon password.

I have a Mac Pro using Lion, with SSD for system drive. Drive stopped booting, but otherwise appeared healthy. Restored from system backup. Now drive seems to work properly, BUT my logon password no longer works. Password OK for account; can access system preferences, and change user password there BUT logon still refuses to accept password. No luck changing password for that account after adding new administrator account and logging on from that account. Suggestions? Thanks.

If you redirect Accounts to another location (not on the Boot Drive) you need to direct them back there again after a restore.
SystemPreferences > Accounts/User&Groups > ...
... Unlock the lock, then hold down Control as you click on an Account to get access to the Advanced Options pane.

Hi, I have problems in ordering book from iPhoto. It says "problems in getting contact with Apple Online Store" I have changed password on my Apple ID - could that be the problem ??

Hi, I have problems in ordering book from iPhoto. It says "problems in getting contact with Apple Online Store" I have changed password on my Apple ID - could that be the problem ??

Some additional efforts you can try:
Go to the System/Sharing preference pane and make sure Remote Apple Events is checked.
If it is, uncheck it and then recheck and try ordering again.
