Requests to change password

For some time now, I keep receiving a message saying that my account has been compromised and I have to change the password.  I have managed to do this in the past but today I cannot.  Macafee sends a message saying that the page where you answer security questions is dangerous.
This is a nightmare.  I now cannot access my bt emails.  It is such a hassle and takes ages to do when it works but now my security protections tells me that someone may be trying to steal my information.
I have got through to a point where there is something that tells me to do to tools to change settings for my security which is too strong but I can't get to the Yahoo page to do this since I am not on it.  I have to go to "tools".  I am exasperated.

If you are convinced that the link you are following to the Yahoo page is valid, then disable the McAfee SiteAdvisor temporarily in your browser add-ons (usually under the Tools menu in the web browser).  You should then be able to proceed.
But first check that you are really following a Yahoo link, not some dodgy one in a phishing email.

  • 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

  • I use Hotmail on my iPad. Yesterday I changed my password on the account using my home PC. Now the ipad requests the new password but when I enter it I get Password Incorrct and it asks to enter it again.

    I use Hotmail on my iPad. Yesterday I changed my password on the account using my home PC. Now the ipad requests the new password but when I enter it I get Password Incorrct and it asks to enter it again. The sticky part is that no matter what app I bring up including settings, the password request pop up appears and the app cant' be used

    I was going to say either that or to remove the email from your email account settings(on ipad) and put it back on. Happens everytime im forced to change my work email password. I need to delete the account and add it again for it to accept the new password.

  • Communication user is not requested change password

    Hi
    We have set a general rule, that users must change password every 90 days (login/password_expiration_time). We have now had a communication user in the system for more than 5 months, and the password is still not expired.
    How can this be? Shouldn't communication users be forced to change the password?
    In table USR02 I can see a field XUPWDSTATE - "Password Change Mandatory / Optional (See Domain XUPWDSTATE)", but I can't find any documentation on this field. The values are 0,1,254,255. Does anybody know what these values mean and how/when they are set.
    Thank you for your help.

    Well, that's a common misunderstanding:
    accounts of type "COMMUNICATION user" are subject of password expiration - however the password change requirement is not enforced (since the server cannot interact with the user). Actually that's not mainly caused by the user type but by the communication protocol being used: RFC and HTTP allow both, interactive and non-interactive system usage. Only the DIAG protocol (used by SAPGUI) ensures that an interaction with the user is possible - and in this case the system is enforcing a password change (when required).
    Note 622464 provides an overview on the user types and the ability / requirement to change passwords (and other impacts).
    Side-remark: modifying the USR02 field would not have any impact on the password change handling (beside the fact that such direct table manipulations are risky and strongly discouraged).
    As reported by other SDN community members (and stated in note 320991, quite at the end) there are some profile parameters that will cause RFC and HTTP based logon to fail for passwords which are expired / initial. Setting those profile parameters will result in a downwards-incompatible system behavior - for this reason the default setting is "off".
    Indeed, if you intend to use "technical accounts" for (automated) system-to-system communication, then kindly use the user type "SYSTEM". In that case, the password is neither "expired" nor "initial" - no password change is required nor can it be performed by the SYSTEM user itself. Only an user administrator can set a new password (in systems as of NWAS 7.0: even a downwards-compatible one - despite the password policy, see notes referenced by note 622464).

    Hello cadshot,
    I was able to locate your account using the e-mail address you used to register for the forum and have submitted a password reset request on your behalf. You should receive an automatically-generated message with a password reset link in the next 10-15 minutes, so make sure to keep an eye on both your inbox and junk mail folders. The link will only be valid for a short period of time, so let me know via private message if you're unable to access that e-mail right away.
    To send me a PM, simply sign into the forum and then click on either the link in my signature or the letter icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

  • 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.

    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.

  • TMG 2010 publishing Exchange 2010 OWA cannot change password if user must change password at first logon is set

    Hi,
     I have an odd issue whereby if I set "user must change password" on an AD account, the end user cannot logon, they're simply taken back to the OWA login page as if their password is incorrect.
    My setup is as follows:
    outer TMG -- uses a listener for email.contoso.com and is configured for no authentication.This uses a publishing rule to publish the inner TMG server. This server is not a domain member.
    inner TMG - uses a listener for email.contoso.com and is configured for NLTM\kerberos negotiation with forms authentication (Windows Active Directory). This server is a domain member and use a publishing rule to publish the internal CAS. Allow users to change
    password is selected in the publishing rules.
    Exchange 2010 SP1 - uses integrated windows and basic authentication. Has the appropriate registry key configured to allow users to change their AD password on first logon.
    I've registered an snp for "http/email.contoso.com mailserver-dc1", all SSL certificates being used are valid and my configuration used to allow users to login and change their password with "user must change password on first login"
    set in AD.
    If I launch a web browser on an internal server and point it to email.contoso.com I'm immediately presented with a generic Windows authentication request (similar to what's seen in ADFS) rather than the standard OWA page. No matter what I do, I cannot login
    and change my password using the correct URL. However if I point my browser at
    http://192.168.4.10/owa I'm prompted to login and I can change my password using the sam credentials.
    The only recent changes made are:
    - Disabling SSL 3.0 and enabling TLS  (http://www.isaserver.org/articles-tutorials/configuration-security/improving-ssl-security-forefront-threat-management-gateway-tmg-2010-published-web-sites.html)
    - Replacing the TMG listener certificates so that they now use SHA2 rather than SHA2 (certificates are trusted on each TMG server)
    Looking on the outer TMG and the DC logs I can see schannel errors which I believe are related to the problem. TMG monitoring also shows "Failed connection attempt: 1907 The user'spassword must be changed before logging on for the first time"
    I've checked that my inner TMG and DC are using the same certificate for server authentication and gone through this guide:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/keithab/archive/2012/02/29/setting-up-and-troubleshooting-ldaps-authentication-in-forefront-tmg-2010.aspx
    If I try to use ldp.exe on the inner TMG, I get the error in the pic below

  • I have never set-up a master password for firefox. Somehow the browser to locked mode, now, and requests a master password. How can I get it to unlock?

    There is no URL line, into which anything may be entered.
    Also, I reinstalled the program as well. No change. Still defaults to a request for a password THAT I HAVE NEVER CREATED.
    Full disclosure: I reached to reconnect a cable, and pressed my chest against my keyboard, while the computer was in sleep mode, with Firefox running in the background. When I stood, the browser was locked. I've tried all passwords I know, and use. No luck. The following addy will not load, even if entered into home page.
    chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul
    Again, no url line opens, which I launch the browser, anymore. I just get the following message:

  • Obiee 11g How to let user change password

    obiee 11g How to let user change password ?
    i not mean use weblogic console。 normal user how to change password。

    With 11g, OBIEE essentially uses the 10g notion of external authentication.
    By default, this is done by the WLS (Weblogic) LDAP identity store, but it may be done by another supported Authenticator either within WLS, or in the OBIS meta data (i.e. Custom Authenticator or LDAP). As such, OBIEE no longer has any control over user passwords; this is why the steps referenced in note 1102353.1 do not apply to OBIEE 11g, but only to internal/repository-defined users in OBIEE 10g.
    So, as with password maintenance in OBIEE 10g when an external authenticator is used, it is within that external authentication system that password is changed, not within OBIEE 11g. There is no option in OBIEE 11g to allow users to change passwords.
    There are two work-arounds with which you can change your password:
    1) From the Weblogic administration console/WLST.
    You need to give such user access into Weblogic console or access to browse through involved MBean hierarchy and other modify permissions. Changing the password using WLST instance is covered here:
    Ideally, the console and WLST approaches are used by Administration accounts to manage other users. But the console and WLST can be made to allow other users to change passwords (which will be more or less like carrying out an administrative task by users themselves)
    2) Using a programmatic approach.
    Here the application that intends to provide password change functionality to its users should implement this functionality on its own (GUI plus call to the relevant Weblogic API). Weblogic provides an MBean that the application can use to accomplish this. See here for more information.
    An enhancement request exists for this functionality. This is unpublished bug 11836170 - enable non admin users to change passwords in obiee 11g.

  • CMC Admin Change Password failure

    Hi,
    Login into CMC for Administrator BOXI3.1 is no longer possible. The Administrator was given 'User must change password at next logon'.
    The logon for an Administrator in a new session is ok. But password change in the subsequent screen fails with msg "You do not have permission to perform the requested action. Please contact the system administrator for details. Please re-enter your password."
    There is only one Administrator in BOXI3.1. Please suggest a solution if any. Is there any reset password script on the command prompt?

  • User must change password after reset?

    I am looking at the password policy settings and am wondering what "User must change password after reset� actually does. I turned it on. I tried changing some passwords in an ldap client and didnt get any messages or errors after authn again. And I didnt see a special attribute in the persons entry. Any clues?

    When the flag is enabled and the password is changed by "cn=directory manager", the next time the user authenticate, the server returns the Password Expired Control (with a Success code) and all requests other than modify of userPassword are rejected.
