Securing LDAP username and password in Websphere

Hi all,
I am new to LDAP and WAS. I want to secure the username and password for my LDAP server. Right now i have two choices for using the username and password for the LDAP
1. i can put the username and password in a properties file.( but then it makes my application insecure....anybody can read it )
2. I can put them in a .java file and after compilation it would be converted to the class file.( but in this approach anyone who knows in which file it is residing can use a decompiler to read it)
I have seen one implementation for DB2 in which they make a datastore in the application server that holds the username and password for the DB2 server. I want to use same kind of facility for my application.
Can anyone help me with this...?

The error description is:
=================================
TNS-12560 TNS:protocol adapter error
Cause: A generic protocol adapter error occurred.
Action: Check addresses used for proper protocol specification. Before
reporting this error, look at the error stack and check for lower level transport
errors.For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the operation. Turn off
tracing when the operation is complete.
===================================
Did you start your Oracle service before trying to connect?
Are you able to run your listener successfully?
did you setup a TNSNAMES entry for your database?
did you try connecting to the database by using scott/tiger@<tnsnames entry>

    I have tried EVERYTHING (well, nt everything, I don’t have the fix I suppose). 
     I found plenty out there and nothing directly correlates with this issue. 
    I searched on all parts of the errors I got.

  • Web service username and password problems

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a client to consume webservices exposed on a secure .net platform that is SSL protected (https).
    I am using netbeans 6 with WSIT support. When I create the web service and add the WSDL file - it comes up with the certificate that I then approve, but then just displays a IO Exception. When I access the WSDL through a browser, it requests a username and password (which I supply) and it works fine.
    I've tried on Netbeans 5.5 but with no luck - it asks for a username and password (at least) but doesn't accept them.
    How can I connect to an https web service that requires a LDAP username and password?
    Thanks,
    Brendan

    I'm guessing that you are trying to call an EBS API and are using FND_WEB_SEC to test that the user account is valid in FND_USER first before executing the API call. In that instance, you'll likely need to use the Oracle Applications Adapter for EBS if you want to authenticate the user through FND_USER.
    If you've not purchased that adapter, you could use a simple BPEL process, with a regular database adapter to firstly call the FND_WEB_SEC package to authenticate. Pass the response from eBS into a bpel variable, add a bpel switch based on the outcome of that variable either execute the API call or  throw an authentication error if the call failed.
    You can wrap all this up into one web service that then calls this bpel process, taking the username and password as as input parameters.

  • Scripted LDAP Probe w/username and password

    I have a scripted LDAP rpobe currently in use. It uses the anonymous bind authentication to work and it works just fine. However they want to go to a username and password instead for security reasons. So I used the script that was previously supplied on this forum to create the HEX. See below:
    $username = "uid=XXXXXX,cn=support,dc=enterprise,dc=com";
    $password = "XXXXX";
    $len_username = length($username);
    $xlen_username = sprintf("%02x", $len_username); $len_password = length($password); $xlen_password = sprintf("%02x", $len_password);
    $username =~s/(.)/sprintf("%x",ord($1))/eg; $password =~s/(.)/sprintf("%x",ord($1))/eg;
    $temp = "020103" . "04" . $xlen_username . $username . "80" . $xlen_password . $password; $tlen = length($temp) / 2; $xtlen = sprintf("%02x",$tlen);
    $temp = "020101" . "60" . $xtlen . $temp;
    $tlen = length($temp) / 2;
    $xtlen = sprintf("%02x",$tlen);
    $temp = "30" . $xtlen . $temp;
    print $temp . "\n";
    I get this result in HEX, (last 6 characters are changed )
    303e0201016039020103042b7569643d214c4242494e442c636e3d737570706f72742c64633d656e74657270726973652c64633d636f6d800742316e64XXXXXX
    I added them to the Probe script here:
    ace_debug "sending ldap bind request"
    puts -nonewline $sock [ binary format "H*" NEW HEX STRING  ]
    flush $sock
    However this doesn't work, am I putting this new HEX string in the proper place or does everything look right?

    Robert-
      The string length maximum is 127 characters, you ended up with 128 somehow.  The string you send is specific to a few things, like the server type, how the array is created, etc.  You should check out this thread: https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3613048#3613048 It has some decent information on it.

  • Extracting username and password from security header

    Hey all,
    I'm writing a BPEL process that invokes two secured web services. One of them authenticates using Username Token and the other has a authenticate method in which the username and password are supplied as Strings. I have successfully propagated the credentials from the BPEL process to the web service using Username Token by doing the following:
    1) I secured my BPEL process
    2) I imported oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd and from it created a variable of type Security
    3) I added the security variable to the Header Variables for the BPEL process input
    4) I added the security variable to the Input Header Variables for the web service's invoke operation
    This worked fine. However, I need to be able to extract out the username and password and supply them as Strings to the authenticate method of the other web service. How can this be done? If it can't, what are some alternatives?
    Environment:
    JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Hi Sri,
    If I understand your steps correctly, I think the problem I'm having rests with the second step. I don't know how to get a hold of the username and password to assign to the local variables you mention. The BPEL process itself uses Username Token for authentication. These credentials need to be passed to the web services invoked within the BPEL process. If I assign the security header variable directly to the string output for the BPEL process, the string returned will be the complete XML security header, which includes the username and password. However, the security header variable itself doesn't expose the username and password directly. In other words, I can't expand the security header variable node in the dialog for editing the Assign operation and get to the username and password. I think one solution is to parse out the username and password from the complete XML security header using string operations (substring, index-within-string, etc). Also, regarding step 4, I'm not sure if passing the credentials in the header will work for this web service. I think the web service is expecting the credentials as parameters to its authenticate method.
    Thanks,
    Bill

  • Security issue: parameters username and password in the jbo:ApplicationModule

    Hello,
    in the <jbo:ApplicationModule> tag, you can give parameters for username and password, Then the .jsp connects to the DB via the username/password. Alternativly, You can provide this within the <Module>.properties file.
    Now the question: Isn't this a security hole? I mean, is it under all circumstances impossible, that the source-code can be delivered by the web-server or that the byte-code from the servlet (compiled from .jsp) can be "restringed"?
    Are there other ways to protect the credentials for accessing the ORACLE DB?
    Michael

    Hi John
    thank You very much. You wrote
    BC4J provides a number of mechanisms for specifying the DB username and password that do not require
    the password to be stored in a JSP page. By default, in 9.0.2, the DB password is stored in
    a BC4J configuration (persisted in a bc4j.xcfg file), which should be secured at the customer site. I've forgotten to mention our environment is SuSE7.2, DB 8.1.7.3, iAS 1.0.2.2, Portal 3.0.9.8.
    For simplicity we would like to use the first method via bc4j.xcfg, But our bc4j.xcfg looks as follows
    <quote>
    <BC4JConfig>
    <AppModuleConfigBag>
    <AppModuleConfig name="OPKv1ModuleLocal">
    <ApplicationName>de.condor.OPKv1.OPKv1Module</ApplicationName>
    <DeployPlatform>LOCAL</DeployPlatform>
    <JDBCName>WEBAPP_NETx</JDBCName>
    <jbo.project>de.condor.OPKv1.opkv1PRJ</jbo.project>
    </AppModuleConfig>
    </AppModuleConfigBag>
    </BC4JConfig>
    </quote>
    So the question is, where to leave schema/password?JDeveloper should have also generated a connection description in the same file named WEBAPP_NET. This
    named connection should contain the relevant elements. It is not recommended that you edit this file directly. The
    configuration editor and/or the connection editor should be used instead.
    Hope this helps.

  • Webdynpro application taking MDM username and password from LDAP

    Hi All,
    I am working on EP-MDM integration.
    EP-LDAP , MDM-LDAP and EP-MDM have been integrated.
    The requirement is :
    When we run a webdynpro application from EP , it should take the user id and password of EP user who is currently logged in.(which is actually LDAP user and also exists for MDM) without hard coding it.
    The application will work according to the roles guaranteed to the user in MDM for eg: the user will be able to write into MDM only if he has read/write permissions in MDM.
    Please tell how the application will fetch the username and password from the EP details.
    Regards
    Shilpa

    Hi,
    You need to set a trusted connection between the EP and MDM System.
    And use the trusted connection JAVA API in the Web Dynpro to make a connection to MDM Repository. Trusted connection JAVA API will ask you only the username and not the password.

  • WSN 1.2 NI 9792 Security: Initial Setup? Default Username and Password?

    Hello,
    With NI WSN 1.1, using a 9792, I can click the Set Permissions button and if none had been set it would simply ask me for a new administrator password.  Now, with NI WSN 1.2, when I click on the Set Permissions button it takes me to the 9792's web interface and says "Either no one is logged in or you do not have permissions to view/edit users, groups, and permissions."  When I click the Login button, a box pops up and asks me for both a username and password.  I scoured the release notes, help files, and the internet and it seems there is NO documentation on how to setup the very first username/password combination nor does it state what default username/password combination there might be.  I also tried a brand new 9792 straight out of the box and loaded 1.2 on it and it has the same issue.  Is there something obvious that I'm missing?  How does someone initially set up security on the 9792?
    Solved!

    Hello Garrett,
    Thanks for your post! 
    It looks like you are needing information on how to find out the log in information of your 9792. When using NI-WSN 1.1 we allowed users to set the initial password and this is still the case for the 9791. The 9792 is a NI-WSN node gateway as well as a LabVIEW Real Time target. Its default log in information can either be found in a Knowledge Base (KB) the LabVIEW help or MAX help. Are you using LabVIEW 2009 SP1 or LabVIEW 2010?
    The default user name and password is the following:

    First, reset your password as follows.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.
    If you're being prompted to authenticate when making changes to files inside your home folder, continue as follows.
    Back up all data now.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
    Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.
