Security related issues

Hi everybody,
We know that weblogic stores all its configuration
parameters in an xml file,including the userid and password for the database
in clear text form .
I want to know whether it is a security flaw?
Is there a way to encrypt the file contents,so that the userid and password
will not be in clear text form.
Any suggestions to increase the security on the config file by appliying os
restriction or by any third party tool will be helpful.
Thanks in advance
prashant

  • Can we set up a forum for Security related issues?

    I know many of us think security is a Windows related issue, but from time to time there are security issues that may come up. I had a question so I looked and couldn't find a forum, so I posted in one of the OS X 10.6 sub forums.
    Thanks!

  • Sap CRM 2007 Security related issue

    Hi All,
    I am working on SAP CRM 2007 security.
    I have scenario, which we are trying to fix.
    There are two users A and B.
    A is assigned to role X
    B is assigned to role y
    Business Partner 123 is created for user A
    Business Partner 456 is created for user B
    These Business Partners are assigned to Authorization Groups.
    See below:
    1)Authorization Group (LK01) is assigned to Business Partner --123.
    2) Authorization Group (LK02) is assigned to Business Partner --456
    3) Authorization groups LK01 is assigin to user A in PFCG role X
    4) Authorization groups LK02 is assigin to user B in PFCG role Y
    a) User A assigned with PFCG role X>Authorization Group (LK01)>BP 123.
    b) User B assigned with PFCG role Y>Authorization Group (LK02)>BP 456.
    Note:
    1) Authorization Groups are assigned to BPs under the Control tab.
    2) These Auth Groups are assigned in Authorization Object in PFCG role.
    Now, USER 'A' should not be able to work under the BP 456 as this BP is assigned to authorization group LK02.
    The issue is when we open the WEB UI and login with user A role X, He can search for the BP 456 assigned to Auth Group LK02.
    User A can open the Interaction History and edit the Service Order created using the BP 456.
    He can Edit the following in Service Order details:
    1) General Data Status (from created to complete), Contact person, Sale Rep name.
    2) Organization Data like Sales Office, Sales Org Unit, Distribution Channel
    3) Business Partner.
    However, one good thing is he cannot edit the Account details like Account ID, House No, Employee Resposible, the message he get is "No authorization to change partner with authorization group"  which is a
    good thing.
    I have tried to be precise, please let me know if you require more information.
    Regards,
    Dave.

    I suggest the following:
    Please, check whether the system works if you activate the implementation BUPA_F4_AUGRP.
    In addition check the notes 559662, 674869 and 782927. Maybe the notes are already implemented but you can try then the implementation of the BADI (SE19). It should resolve your issue.
    I have implemented this Badi solution before, and after activation; the search help ; nor search result list did NOT show any Business partners anymore that had an authorization group I was not allowed to see.
    kind regards

  • Reporting security-related stack overflow issue

    How should I report a potentially security-related stack overflow issue that I encountered that lead to a QuickTimePlayer crash?

    The most certain way to report a true bug (as opposed to a comment or feature request) is to sign up as an Apple Developer - the online membership is free - and report the bug through the bug reporter.
    Otherwise, report it through the QuickTime Feedback page.
    Regards.

  • How do i deal with 'security certificate' issues on my iPad2? I'm unable to answer the security questions that pop up when Im trying to download an app because the pop up does not load properly...

    Basically my Ipad2 stopped allowing me to go to sites such as Tumblr a little while ago. It wouldn't display the page properly because of 'security certificate' issues. This in itself would not have been such a problem, but when I went to the App store to try and download the Tumblr App, a pop up appeared asking me to answer some security questions before I could successfully install the App. However, the pop up would not display correctly because of 'security certificate' issues and as a result I can't download any apps from the App Store. Can anyone help with this??

    Well, I maged to delete some stuff, download the update...
    My Mac mail is still not ok. Still only displays today, yesterday and everything is the 16th of the month previous to this?
    All a bit strange to say the least any suggestons on how to resolve this.

  • To everyone with IOS6 Sound related issues & Others

    If you are facing a problem of not having any system sounds, notification sounds, no calls or other software sound related issues I'd suggest you read below it's a stupidly simple fix and it should solve most software issues after an immediate iOS6 update:
    After updating unplug the phone from your computer and leave the phone alone for 5-10 minutes, if you still have problems: reboot, wait a few minutes and all sound related problems should be fixed.
    When I updated to iOS 6 I had lost my system sounds, so I unplugged from the computer, rebooted the phone and still no go. I decided to just let the system "settle in" for a bit, let it lock and when I unlocked after 5-10 minutes sounds were back and everythings up and running again.

    Well, to break it down. After my sounds finally came back (2nd time losing them) last night I decided to restore the phone in itunes. I did it twice. First time I backed up my data. Second time I restored it as a factory iPhone. Both times guess what NO SOUNDS! I also realized that last night I had lost my sounds after charging my phone and unplugging it from the data cord. I still have ringtones (when someone calls), but text messages, emails, and any other alert tones do not work. I cannot turn the volume up or down with the side buttons and also music does not play. It doesn't even have a slide bar at the bottom.
    I am on the phone with apple care now. They seem to not be aware of the problem at all.
    While I was on the phone with them my sounds ended up coming back, imagine that. Hopefully every time I charge my phone I am not going to have this issue.

  • Many Sporadic Preview Related Issues

    Not sure if this is where to post/report Lightroom 5 issues or not, but here are preview-related issues I am experiencing...
    Preview panel "preview" freezes indefinitely.
    App very slow to load while creating new previews. (previews take forever to create and update)
    Wrong previews showing for wrong images when swapping between folders, etc. (ie: all photos, last import, custom collections)
    This one is a little different...
    Ratings lost when switching between folders, etc. (ie: all photos, last import, custom collections)
    This was a clean install that ran beautifully at first. Started noticing this more and more after using the spot tool. (my last step in processing a job)
    I use separate catalogs per job. Some as small as a few dozen images. (family stuff) Others, as large as 500-600. (engagement and wedding clients)
    Hope you are working on this. It's making work a struggle. I'm not just a "consumer". ;-)

  • Essbase Security Filter issue.

    Hi,
    Its regarding the security filter issue.
    The major problem is whosoever user is provisioned under that security filter, if the user is trying to connect to Application using Excel Addin / Smartview, it crashes the essbase server [Network Error [10061], timed out error)]
    When we figured out because of this filter essbase server is crashing, we tried to edit the filter. sometimes if we click on edit, it crashes the server or sometimes we can see some junk characters in the filter.
    We have applied the security on Entities dimension and problematic filter is ASP.
    Now the hirerachy is like this.
    Entities dimesnsion and then ASP member and under ASP we have our several members.
    Filter is like this:
    Write : @Idescendants("ASP")
    It was working fine for almost 15 days.
    Now if i edit the filter, i can see like this:
    Write : @Idescendants("ASP")
    Metaread:@Idescendants("*&^%?)
    Junk characters are coming in and no idea from where they are coming.
    I can't delete the filter also, again it crashes the essbase server.
    As a workaround i have created a temp filter and dome the assignation for this group, according to that.
    Everything is working fine.
    I just wanted to know, has anybody faced such kind of problem earlier.
    What cud be the root cause for this.
    How could I delete the filter.
    I have also get messages like security file is corrupted (we have restored it from old backup) but really worried about security file as we are moving the whole thing to production server this weekend.
    Please advise me on this, Please help me. Any help would be highly appreciated.
    I am really in trouble.
    Thanks,
    Pankaj Mehta.

    Try to edit the filter from MaxL command line using
    alter filter sample.basic.filt7 add write on '@IDescendants("ASP")';
    here sample=application
    basic=database
    filt7=filtername
    have good luck

  • In PP Interface related issues the role of functional consultant

    In PP Interface related issues what is the role of functional consultant .  what is the approach steps to analyse and resolve the issues  in XI, interface, idoc, etc.,

    For issues relating to interfaces, a functional person would need to diagnose what is causing the issue & thereby informing the technical person where to fix it, if the issue is due to system setup.
    As regards to the steps, I just wish there was a manual which read something like
    10 steps on how to analyze....
    unfortunately there is none that I have come across or even if one is ever written on those lines will be very specific, so not much of use for your need. A good approach would be to have a clear understanding of what the interface is supposed to do, which would assist you in fixing the issues.

    Hi Narendra,
    Please elaborate what is QAS customization and production  customization.
    TR has been done properly.
    Let me give you an overview of the project.
    In Organisational Assignment a Zprogram has been written which captures additional information like Grade Code, Designation Code & Pay Sheet Code
    Its a govt. client. Combination of Grade Code & Designation Code is Pay Scale Grouping
    e.g if Grade Code is A01 & Designation Code is A005
    Pay Scale Grouping is A01-A005
    If we put the values in 0001(Org Assignment) for Grade Code(A01) & Designation Code(A005), A01-A005 comes automatically in Pay Scale Grouping for a particular Pay Scale Structure.
    But now the problem is Pay Scale Type doesn't come get defaulted in 0008 for a Personnel Area & Personnel Subarea.
    I have maintained PST in Tariff & Check Assignment of Pay Scale Structure in Enterprise Structure.
    But in 0008, We have to put PST manually. Since client is having only 1 Pay Scale Area for all Personnel Area & Personnel Subarea, so we don't have to bother for it
    Please tell me where can be the error
    Regards,
