Security file Migration

Hi all, I am working on EssBase 6.5 on Win NT. Now we are going to Migrate this server on the Unix Machine. I have to Migrate my cfg. Application, Databases etc. But little Confusion i have ie. What should i do with the Security file. Can we transfer this file as usual it is on the NT. Or we should dump this file and then recreate all the Users. But This wouldn't be easy to do. Suggest me how we can Migrate my applications on th Unix from NT. Thanks in Advance..........

Vishal, Stop essbase service dump security file load the dump in database using dts , informatica etc use sql to generate maxl commands (eg create user etc) using the data dump use default passwords for all users. copy results into maxl file run maxl file test using any login. ask users to chnage their passswords you should be ok Sanjay

Security file migrating

Hi,We are upgrading to Essbase 6.5.1 by migrating a server in Essbase 5.02.I would like to know if there's a way to migrate the security file from one server to another.Many thanks

the Advanced Security Manager does not export Essbase passwords, probably due to the fact that the Essbase API does not retrieve them. So you would need to manually fill in the passwords in an export file before importing them back in. Essbase Administration Services (works with Essbase 6.2 + allows for copying security from one sever to another

Consolidation blocked while security file is loaded

Hello,
we have just migrated from HFM 9.2.0.3 to 11.1.1.3 and have found a strange behaviour when we load security file.
It seems that a security load can not run at the same time as a consolidation task or dataload.
It was not the case in 9.2, security file loading had no impact on other tasks.
Did you encounter that behaviour on your side ? Is it something normal or are there any setting to bypass this ?

Actions that change the system, including security, rules, metadata, or list file loads, need to alter the cached information on all application servers. When this happens HFM has to log out all users, and therefore HFM will wait for currently running consolidations to complete before it can make such a system change. The only thing you can do is to let users know in advance that during a specific timeframe you will be updating the settings. Otherwise what you experience is normal.

I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??

Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant. If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

Lookout 6.6 - Logon Error: Security file does not exist

I'm trying to run Lookout 6.6 evaluation. It loads fine, I get a message saying that it's running evaluation version. I press OK to clear that box and a logon window opens. It's filled in with the default settings, Administator, local doman, no password. I click Log On and it gives me the error which is in the subject line, security file does not exist.
I've read on here that the lookout.sec file doesn't exist in the System32 folder. In this case, I've found it and it's there.
I've trying different user names, I took the .sec file and copied it in various locations: windows folder, and the programs root folder - obviously there was no effect. I tried editing the lookout.ini file to remove the log on information to see if that clears it up (even deleted the file to see if that work), but to no avail. I also tried re-installing the program, but there is no uninstall button - windows program removal tool cannot even remove, modify, or repair the program. I ran the install a couple of times as well.
Does anyone know what I can do?
Here's what I'm running:
(I bought this computer today)
Windows 7 x64-bit Home Premium
4gb ram
500gb hard drive
It's very minimal, since all the computer is meant to do is run this program and replace the computer Lookout 5.0 was running on (mobo got fried).
- Please - let me know if you have any suggestions.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Mike! Thanks for replying!
I've just tried it in admin mode and it hasn't worked. I've also tried using compatability mode, but to no avail.
I downloaded the lookout 6.2 version to try and it gives me the same error as well.
Another thing to note, I tried uninstalling it (either lookout 6.6 or 6.2 doesn't matter), but all options it gives (modify, repair, and uninstall) are all greyed out.
Any thoughts/ideas?

Solaris 8, 9 and 10 Security Files

Good Morning:
I am hoping that someone out there can confirm the following scenario:
I want to use a standardized set of security files for all my operating systems Solaris 8, 9, and 10. The files from Solaris 10 and are listed below:
/etc/default/passwd
/etc/default/login
/etc/security/policy.conf
The questions I have are as follows:
1. With the understanding that some of the security features may not work in Solaris 8 or Solaris 9, is there a problem in using these files across the all Operating systems?
2. Are there any known issues with this approach?
Mark K.

Lars,
Use ldmp2v to convert existing physical server to VM and
Convert Solaris 8 and 9 physical servers to container in Solaris 10 VM?
Is that what you are saying?
Major constraint I have is, applications running in the current physical servers have no vendor support, vendor doesn't exist any more. Application has been locked to run only on the same OS version. What I am worried is, while running ldmp2v should not prevent the application coming up in the new virtualized environment. Keeping that in mind, I gave a thought like
1. Install and configure the CDOM (control domain)
2. configure and Install LDOMs with Solaris 10 OS
3. Run flar on the existing Solaris 10 physical server
4. Transfer the flar created to Solaris 10 LDOM and configure it as a zone
5. For Solaris 8 and 9, create LDOMs with Solaris 10 OS
6. Install additional patches and packages needed for supporting Solaris 8 and 9 zones
6. create flar images on the existing Solaris 8 and 9 physical servers
7. transfer the images to newly created LDOM and configure the zone.
8. Current servers sun4u which has to be converted to sun4v.

Can we add users and give provision in security file without creating user in shared services ?
Thanks

If you have your application built using MSAD, then you an load the file the way you built it above, however because you're using the NativeDirectory, you need to create the user in the Directory(HSS) first. Once the user is created, you can then go through and use the .sec method to assign access/roles, but the actual user creation can't be done through a load file.
One of the easiest reasons to understand why this can't be done is that when you load the .sec file, you're not setting up a password for the user.

Is it possible to override Java.security file

Hi,
Is there some property which we can pass with -D argument to JVM to specify a custom java.security file, similar to the way we can specify a custom policy file using "java -Djava.security.policy".
My actual requirement is to insert a new Provider which I do not want to do by adding add/insertProvider in my code, nor do I want to change the file
Any workarounds??

Yes:
java -Djava.security.properties=<url> ...
If you use a double equals (==) then you just get the specified property file. If you use a single equals (=) then it appends to the default property file (overwriting duplicate entries with the values in the specified property file).

Downloaded firefox 4 yesterday...everytime i start it...it says something about unable to initialize security file or something to that effect...i have recently uninstalled....what is problem

Cant get com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only entitlement to work

Hey I am curious how can I get the .ipa compiled file for iOS to be able to read all the directories on the iPhone?
I made a file browser but I cant get to the pictures
I tried adding the entitlements in Flash Builder 4.6 in the descriptor file like this:
<key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.security.assets.movies.read-only</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.security.assets.pictures.read-only</key>
<true/>
in the
<iPhone>
<Entitlements>
<![CDATA[
I got Push notifications working and accepted in the app store but it can't read the pictures directory when browsing for a file
I know the app id and stuff is set up right or I wouldnt have been able to get it accepted in the app store. In the entitlements area of course I have the application identifier set and aps-environment and keychain access groups and whatnot set up right.
When I try to put the app onto the iPhone with iTunes it just says 'Entitlements are not valid' (does not mention anything about mismatched ids) I can't find anything about how to add this entitlement and I could have sworn I saw a thing that said I can just use the descriptor file to add entitlements in some of the documentation I have it set to use air 3.4
Is there something I am doing wrong, how do I get apple to just put these entitlements in the mobileprovision file, I cant seem to edit it, if I do I also get an error in itunes that is some hex code...

Did you ever solve your problem?
I just transfered my web hosting and e-mail to bluehost. I had some of the same problems you are having. I noticed you have your incoming server set to bluehost.
Incoming mail server: (SSL) box610.bluehost.com (sever requires authentication which I already have done)
If bluehost is your server this is what worked for me:
Account Information
Account type— POP
Description—anything you want
Email Address—in your case would be [email protected]
Full name— first and last name
Incoming server—mail.magnus.com
User name—[email protected] Notice it is the @ symbol not a +
password— your password . Remember they are case sensitive
Outgoing Mail server—select edit smpt server list from the drop down window
select the + to add a server
Account Information
Description—may be left blank
Server name—mail.magnus.com
TSL Certificate—None
Advanced
Use default ports
Check Use SSL
Authenticate—password
Username—[email protected]
passowrd—your password
Click ok
In the accounts window
Outgoing SMTP— select the server you just created.
Check—use only this server
Select the Advance tab next to the Mailbox Behaviors
Check use SSL— it will be port 995

Data loss in the secure file transfer using java

Hi,
My java Appllication uses the sftp(secure file transfer protocol) for file transferring. when the load is high like 150 GB , data loss occuring for some files especially last chunk of data is missing.
Core file transfer code
while (true)
int read = bis.read(buffer); //Reading bytes into the byte array (buffer) from network stream (bis).
if (read==-1) {
break; //Break the loop, if there are no more bytes available in the InputStream.
bos.write(buffer,0,read); //Writing the same number of bytes what we read into buffer byte array into OutputStream
complete.update(buffer,0,read); //Giving the same number of bytes what we read above to the checksum calculation.
bytesSoFar += read; //Incrementing the bytes that we have read from the source.
//if the bytes transferred are equal to the source file size
If (bytesSoFar == fileInfo.getFileSize().intValue())
// Calculate the file checksum.
// Update DbAuditLog with checksum and no. of bytes read
else
// Update DbAuditLog with no. of bytes read
bos.flush();
Please help , why the data loss is happening when the big size files transfer
Note:
1.150 gb not a single file multiple files.
2.SFTP no java specific API, So connection is happening through java .io.sockect connection

so, if you are not getting any exceptions, yet the data is incorrect, it sounds like you are having actual network issues. i'd start looking at things like the actual network cards in the computer as well other equipment involved in the transfer. since you are not getting exceptions, the network stack obviously thinks nothing was lost over the wire, so either the actual hardware has issues, or the network stack, or the issue is on the sending end. the last possibility is that the client is somehow munging the data it is sending. do you control the client code? if so, i'd start checking the client side code for bugs (and/or post it here).
also, i'm assuming that all of the variables included in your original code are thread local (you aren't sharing any of those buffers/streams/etc between multiple threads).

Getting an error when Importing a security file

Hi,
Im struggling to import a security file into planning..this is the error i get
Enter password: Tue Mar 30 09:30:53 SAST 2010 :: Validating the Secfile.txt...
Tue Mar 30 09:30:53 SAST 2010 :: ---------------FILE NOT FOUND EXCEPTION COMING-------
The server is running unix: I'm running the command from the directory where the ImportSecurity.sh utility is...I have also copied the secFlie.txt file into the same directory. But still get the same error.

There is a slight issue with the unix versions
If you use the exportsecurity utility it will create a file called :- secFile.txt
When you use the importsecurity utility it looks for a file called :- Secfile.txt
As it is case sensitive you have to update the exported secFile.txt

Script to export Security file using maxl script

can anyone provide me the Script to export Security file using maxl script.It should create a log file and a batch file should also be there to schedule the Maxl script.Please help me with this

Hi,
You can use something like
[b]login admin password on localhost;
[b]spool on to 'c:\temp\log.txt';
[b]export security_file to data_file C:\temp\sec_file.txt;
[b]spool off;
[b]logout;
Then you can have a batch file that just calls the maxl script
essmsh name_of_maxl_script.mxl
The batch script can then be scheduled.
Cheers
John
