Question about password

How can I change the value of getPasword() method from char[] to String?

By overriding, if possible? Or creating a wrapper method:
private String getPasswordAsString() {
char[] password = getPassword();
return new String(password);
}

  • Question about Password file

    Good afternoon,
    In the 2 Day DBA document it states:
    >
    When you invoke DBCA as part of the Oracle Database installation process, DBCA
    creates a password file with one entry: the SYS user.
    >
    I created the database using DBCA and, it must have created a password file for me since I am able to log in remotely to the database.
    The question is: I cannot locate the password file DBCA created, I don't know what its name is. Can someone provide me with the name DBCA uses for the password file ?
    Thank you very much for helping,
    John.

    Hello SB,

    I don't know if this qualifies as "proof" but... from the 2 Day DBA document distributed by Oracle, page 6-9:
    >
    When you invoke DBCA as part of the Oracle Database installation process, DBCA
    creates a password file with one entry: the SYS user. Granting SYSDBA to a user adds
    that user to the password file automatically.

    I have no reason to doubt that statement. ;)
    >
    for some/many/most Oracle versions which you decided we did not need to know yours the file resides in
    $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
    >
    I didn't decide you didn't need to know. I forgot to mention I am using Windows. As far as the Oracle version, since I used to constantly forget, I made the version part of my user name 11gR2, I can see how that can be easily overlooked.
    Thank you for your help,
    John.

  • Question About Password Safety

    I've been told that if I feel my passwords have been compromised, I should change them. But how does a person gain access to a password in the first place? And if I don't know how it's happening, what's to prevent it from happening again? Sorry if the question is a bit vague. Perhaps someone can help me fine tune it a bit.

    Using an "obvious" password like a name, birthday, etc.
    Using a simple password that's easy to decode such as passwords with fewer than 7 or 8 characters.
    Giving your password to someone who in turn passes it on to someone else.
    Giving others access to your computer.
    Using the same password for all accesses.
    Not changing your password regularly.
    The above is not all inclusive. Also, see OS X Mountain Lion: Understand passwords.

  • Question about passwords-

    Hope someone can help. I have my user [administrator?] passord all set up but is it possible to have a separate password that controls who gets to see my folders? Someone else who uses my computer is snooping through my personal stuff… if someone could advise and maybe provide a ‘stoopid’ person’s step-by-step guide to setting it up I’d sure be grateful!

    Hi pain..., Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    The folders in question need to be in your home folder and not in shared just in case you somehow put them in the wrong place.
    Also check permissions and cmd i on the folders and make sure they are what you want.

  • Question about Password Keeper

    Hello All,
    This is my first forum post.  Does anyone know if it is possible to retrieve password keeper information from the blackberry desktop manager?  I did a backup and restore on my old phone, which had a broken screen, and am trying to retrieve the passwords to put on my new phone.  The at&t rep did not know if the desktop manager kept this information or not.  When I did a restore on my new phone, the passwords did not transfer.  I appreciate any advice.  Thanks.
    Todd

    Hello ToddStoner and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    The password keep should have backed up the data. If you go to do an advanced restore (as shown in KB23680 for Desktop Manager 6.0 or KB03953 for all other versions) you should see the Password Keeper database. 
    When you access the Password Keeper on your BlackBerry, did it ask for the existing password or create a new one?

  • Question about passwords please

    I just set up Airport Express, and it works great in providing Internet access. However, I unplugged the Airport Express when I wasn't using it and then plugged it back in last night. I expected to have toenter the password for the Airport Express but the computer did not ask me for it and I was automatically able to click on the Internet. Is this normal? Ånd, is there a way for me to require the computer to ask me for a password each time I want to use the Internet after the router is unplugged?
    Many thanks.

    Donna42, Welcome to the discussion area!
    I expected to have toenter the password for the Airport Express but the computer did not ask me for it and I was automatically able to click on the Internet. Is this normal?
    Yes that is normal. OS X records the password in the keychain when you first enter it. That makes it easier for you so that you don't have to reenter it every time that you reconnect to the network.
    Ånd, is there a way for me to require the computer to ask me for a password each time I want to use the Internet after the router is unplugged?
    Yes. You can remove the current entry from the keychain. The next time that you connect to the network and enter your password, uncheck the box asking if you want the password saved to the keychain.

  • 2 questions about SmartWare (password protection, resume after standby)..

    Hi guys, 2 quick questions about the SmartWare utility. I have searched for previous answers, but couldn't find any. Might be that I uses the wrong search terms though, so sorry in advance if this had been asked (and aswered) before. When I create a backup, it is being stored file-by-file in the "SmartWare" folder on the NAS. Since the SmartWare folder is public, all users with access to the drive can access this folder. Ultimately this means that ALL users of the drive can access the backup files of ANY user. If someone performs a full backup, this means that anyone has access to ALL the data of that person. I could't find any option in SmartWare to password-protect backups or something. From a security point of view, I would consider this as a worst-case scenario. Even worse is that there is no mentioning of this in the user's manual. Am I missing something here? Is there a way to protect backups against access by any other user? If this is really not possible, I would consider this application to be pretty much useless, to say the least. "Dangerous" would be a better description... My 2nd question is only relevant if there's a solution for the first one, because else I would't use this tool anyway: Does it automatically resume a backup if the machine is put to standby or hibernation mode during a backup operation, or will it restart from the start, or will the backup be interrupted (and thus useless)? Many thanks in advance!

    One can create a Private Share on the WD My Cloud, configure it so only one user has access (password protected), then one can configure the SmartWare software to backup to that private share folder. One changes the backup location in the SmartWare program by selecting the dropdown selector box below the "WD My Cloud" on the Smartware "Home" screen. The Smartware User Manual explains this process under Chapter 5, Backing up Files, step 2, substep c. Smartware should resume the backup when ever it is interrupted. Here is how it is explained in the Smartware User Manual:Note: Backup protection is automatic for as long as the backup source and target devices are connected to your computer. Then, whenever you disconnect and reconnect either device, the WD SmartWare software rescans the backup source device for new or changed files and resumes automatic backup protection. 

  • Question about using passwords on Visio

    I have another question about the Vision:M. I was curious if you're able to password protect certain folders so that in order to access them, you have to put in a password. I know you can password protect files so it can't be messed with or whatever, but it doesn't stop the files from being viewed. Is there any way to do this?

    there is an option somewhere in the settings menu to hide protected files, so you can't see them or edit them till the password is entered.

    hi just got my new apple ipod touch and to download apps it wants to add questions about myself for more sercurity information. i get up to question 3 and it wont let me select a question but it will let me write an answer so i just pressed done and then it says i cant carry on because ive mised out information when it wont let me do a question!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

  • Just installed iOS6, questions about "iMessage" and other things...

    I've been a satisfied iOS4 user since I bought my iPhone4, but I was forced to install iOS6 tonight in order to download a "free" app. I found a few new icons on the screen along with about 200 percent more "Settings" I'd like to ask some questions about. I'm sure a few of these could be answered by doing a frantic and thorough search through weeks of posts but I'm a little short on time right now.
    First, what exactly is iMessage? Looking at the page for it, I can't see any difference between it and regular text messages. The info page says its to avoid charges, but between my data plan and not being charged for text I don't see where theres any other benefit. The one person I text with the most recently asked me why I had not installed iMessage yet, and didn't have an answer when I asked him why I should. I guess he just wanted to see text replies in blue instead of green.
    In a related bit, flipping through Settings>Messages>Send & Receive I find a "2 addresses" section, with my phone number in there as well as my email under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" and "Start new conversations from:". What good does it do iMessages to have my email address? Does the Mail app handle text as well as email addresses? That seems to be the only explanation, and also very odd to think I'd be trying to text through my Mail app.
    Second, looking through the Settings>Mail I see now that I have an icloud email address as well as the mac.com address I've been desperately hanging on to for the past 10 years, and the me.com address they've been trying to force me into since those came out. (I was happy to see I could delete the me.com address from the phone. I wish I could delete it from the universe.)
    I wasn't even aware there was a such thing as icloud.com addresses. When did this happen? What is it used for?
    Third, under that icloud Setting I see a long list of apps with buttons labeled "Off" under it. What are those for? Under the Mac.com settings I see switches for "Mail" and "Notes", with Mail on and Notes off. The Notes app (which I haven't used since my old iPhone 3) still opens, regardless of this setting.
    Fourth, I now have an item called "Facetime" under my Settings. It is off, but underneath it says "Your phone number and/or email address will be shared with people you call". I understand caller ID normally sends caller number info to the receiver, but why would someone need my email address if I call them?
    Fifth, I now have a "Music" setting, at the bottom of which I see a "Home Sharing" item, which when clicked brings up my AppleID and asks me if I want to Sign Out or Cancel. What is Home Sharing? Its also at the bottom of the "Video" settings.
    Sixth, now I have Twitter and Facebook settings? For what? I don't have accounts with either of those companies. So why have settings, especially since it asks me to create accounts and download apps for those companies right in the Settings?
    Seventh, there is a camera icon on the unlock screen. Touching it causes the screen to bounce up about a quarter inch, almost but not quite revealing something behind it. I should probably just quit asking about this stuff already, but I'll take the bait - what is this now?
    Finally, what is the Notification Center used for?
    If I got a text under iOS4, it would put an alert on the Unlock screen. Scrolling through this huge list of things under the Notification settings I'm really blown away by all the apps set up to yell at me. I can see having an alert for a text message but Game Center? What the heck is that, and why is it set up to hit me with a "Badge App Icon" (whatever that is) when I get alerts from "Everyone". Similarly, the phone is set to alert me to something called a "Photostream Alert"? What is this? Why is there a Phone section for the Notification Center? So they can put a Notice on my screen to tell me the phone is ringing? Holy cow! The phone is set to send me alerts from the "Weather Widget". So if I miss the fact its raining there will be a message on my screen to let me know? Whats next - a buzzer to tell me I'm listening to music?
    There's a lot more, like what would I need Passbook for when I have the actual movie tickets, gate boarding passes, coupons, etc in my hands, but we'll leave that for another time. Many thanks to all who can offer some answers to my questions above.

  • Questions about using Bitlocker without TPM

    We currently use Bitlocker to encrypt our Windows 7 computers with TPM. Now we are looking at encrypting some Windows 7 computers without a TPM. I see how to change the group policy setting to allow Bitlocker without a TPM. I have looked at a lot of other
    threads and I have a few questions about how the Bitlocker without TPM works.
    1) I see a USB drive containing a key is required for Bitlocker configurations without a TPM, say the end user loses this USB drive, what are the recovery options for their computer? 
    This article seems to indicate that without the USB drive connected, you are unable to even access recovery options http://blogs.technet.com/b/hugofe/archive/2010/10/29/bitlocker-without-tpm.aspx
    We have recovery backed up to AD when Bitlocker is enabled, but how could we do this recovery on a computer on computer where it's USB is lost? Would we have to remove the HD itself and attach it to another computer to access?
    2) After enabling Bitlocker on a computer without a TPM and using the USB Drive for the key, is there a way to also add a PIN or password protection at bootup?

    Hi,
    Sorry for my dilatory reply, 
    Configuring a startup key is another method to enable a higher level of security with the TPM. The startup key is a key stored on a USB flash drive, and the USB flash drive must be inserted every time the computer starts. The startup key is used to provide
    another factor of authentication in conjunction with TPM authentication. To use a USB flash drive as a startup key, the USB flash drive must be formatted by using the NTFS, FAT, or FAT32 file system.
    You must have a startup key to use BitLocker on a non-TPM computer.
    From: http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ee449438(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_Key
    For more Q&A about BitLocker, you can refer to the link above.
