Special Character in password!

Hi,
Is there any documentation exists which tell us what all special characters can be used in password?
If we use for example "," (comma) is password then NCo returns the error "Invalid User ID / Password (repeat logon)". Where as through SAPGUI login is successful.
Regards.

Hi Nagaraju,
Thanks for your reply.
To be more specific, what I wanted to know is, if user can login through SAPGUI having comma (for example) in password, why NCo throws an exception ?
Is there any documentation exists which says which special characters can not be used with Nco OR is there anyway to handle them ?
Regards.

Can't use special character "ç" in airport password

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to a wireless network, whose password contains the character "ç". For some reason airport won't let me input that character, but all others are fine. I've tried edit => insert special character, I've tried to copy / paste but nothing works. Does anyone have a solution??
Thanks

Hi Jon, and a warm welcome to the forums!
This is far fetched, but I wonder if it has anything to do with this strange "feature"...

You've already tried all but one thing I yhink, can you edit it/paste it into Keychain Access?

Can't create database link when password has special character

I'm trying to execute the following statement within sqlplus
create database link alpha connect to scott identified by tiger! using 'db_alpha'
note that the password for the account has an exclamation point in it. the command fails. I've tried placing the password in quotes (') and double-quotes ("). The double-quotes work, but then the link fails to function properly.
We are required to have a special character in our passwords... so how do I get that special character into the password for the database link?
Thanks in advance,
Darren

for some weird reason, I can't post the reply I want. every time I try, the forum hangs and doesn't save the message. give me a sec...
I have put the password within double quotes... so I'm starting to think the problem is something else. I've been reading other posts regarding creating database links and I've obtained limited results. Here's what I've done, and the results I'm getting.
(names changed to protect the innocent)
My oracle database is on SYSA. I'm on SYSB. I set my TWO_TASK=SYSA and just use sqlplus to connect as user1.
I want to run a command on user2's tables. Normally I would just grant read access to user1 on user2's tables and use a command like
nert spaces to get this to save (weird forum bug here, I can't delete the text to the left)
SQL> sel{color:black}{color}ect * fr{color:black}{color}om u{color:black}{color}s{color:black}{color}e{color:black}{color}r{color:black}{color}2{color:black}{color}.{color:black}{color}m{color:black}{color}y{color:black}{color}_{color:black}{color}t{color:black}{color}a{color:black}{color}b{color:black}{color}l{color:black}{color}e{color:black}{color};
However, user2 is for test data and those tables get dropped and recreated often and it is cumbersome to try to remind everyone to recreate the grants. So I can't trust that user1 will have access to user2's tables. So my goal with the database link is to create a private (for user1 only) database link and access the tables that way, that way I bypass the grant issue. This works out better for me because we only change that password every 2 months. I just recreate the database link once every two months, rather than recreate grants multiple times every week. Well, that's the theory anyway.
Back to creating the database link, I thought my issue was the special character in the password because if I remove the exclamation point everyting works (except that the password is invalid). Below is what it looks like when I do this...
Attempt #1:
SQL> create database link BLAH connect to user2 identified by "tiger" using 'BLAH';
Database link created
SQL> sel{color:black}{color}ect * fr{color:black}{color}om my{color:black}{color}_{color:black}{color}table{color:black}{color}@{color:black}{color}BLAH;
sel{color:black}{color}ect * fr{color:black}{color}om my{color:black}{color}_{color:black}{color}ta{color:black}{color}ble{color:black}{color}@{color:black}{color}BLAH
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
ORA-02063: preceding line from BLAH
So that looks like it's just a password issue. If I put in the correct password... the error changes to this...
Attempt #2:
SQL> create database link BLAH connect to user2 identified by "tiger!" using 'BLAH';
Database link created
SQL> sel{color:black}{color}ect {color:black}{color}* fr{color:black}{color}om my{color:black}{color}_{color:black}{color}table{color:black}{color}@BLAH;
sel{color:black}{color}ect * fr{color:black}{color}om my{color:black}{color}_ta{color:black}{color}ble{color:black}{color}@BLAH
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02085: database link BLAH.AAA.BB.CCC.DDD connects to
DEVDB.AAA.BB.CCC.DDD
To me, that doesn't make sense. If the link isn't working... how did it get the "invalid username/password" in Attempt #1?
Anyway, in perusing other forum posts, one post said to put in the full text from the tnsnames.ora file instead of the alias. So I do a little cut/paste and try this...
Attempt #3:
SQL> create database link BLAH connect to user2 identified by "tiger!" using
2 '(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server001.aaa.bb.ccc.ddd)(PORT = 9999)))
3 (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = devdb)))';
Database link created.
SQL> sel{color:black}{color}ect {color:black}{color}* fro{color:black}{color}m my{color:black}{color}_{color:black}{color}tab{color:black}{color}le{color:black}{color}@BLAH;
sel{color:black}{color}ect {color:black}{color}* fr{color:black}{color}om {color:black}{color}my_{color:black}{color}tab{color:black}{color}le@B{color:black}{color}LAH
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02085: database link BLAH.AAA.BB.CCC.DDD connects to
DEVDB.AAA.BB.CCC.DDD
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Is spacebar considered to be a special character when creating a password?

Hi !
I would like to know if spacebar is a special character when it comes to creating a password.

I have complexity enabled but my system will no longer accept a PW using spaces as special characters. Did something change recently? It worked a little more than a month ago for my account.
A test example PW I've tried is
My name is Bill
If I add a number or punctuation to this phrase it works. It should have exceeded all my requirements as originally entered though.

Change Password with changePasswordForSelf and Special character

Hi,
I was trying to use the OIM (9.1.1.0) API to change the password using:
userIntf.changePasswordForSelf(oldPassword, newPassword, confirmNewPassword);
This works when I use some standard password.
The issue appears when I try to enter certain special character: e.g: < or >
The error returned is :
<Error (class Thor.API.Exceptions.IllegalInputException): Thor.API.Exceptions.IllegalInputException>
Exception is: Thor.API.Exceptions.IllegalInputException
I reckon this is done to prevent injections.
I didn't see any restriction in any of Oracle documentation and was wondering if you can help me understanding:
- if you have observed the same issues before
- which character are affected by this
- if there is a work around to allow these character
Thank you.

That's because the special characters you are using are the scripting tags and it confuses itself with the OIM scripting process, for instance JSP's etc.
So I would recommend not to do it and have your policies in place which restricts end-user to have a password with such special characters. I did not tried that but you can possibly do that.

Special characters in password for "create database link"

It seems that one cannot create a DB link if the password has a special character in it (like '!')?
create database link MYLINK connect to SOURCE identified by mypwd! using 'MYDB'
- returns "ORA-00933: Command not properly ended"
create database link MYLINK connect to SOURCE identified by values 'mypwd!' using 'MYDB'
- returns "ORA-00988: missing or invalid password(s). This is the syntax that works in "create user".

Creating UserID with special character "/"

Hi
I would like to create users with userid as "ID/1234". But OIM is not allowing this "/" special character.
I have checked the link Special Characters in password global.security.filter and set the <SecurityLevel> to 0 and restarted OIM server. But still OIM is not allowing to add this special character.
Do i need to add this character to global.security.filter parameter in xlWebAdmin.properties also?
Thanks

I also tried removing the filters
<\\s*/\\s*, \\s*/\\s*>
from the global.security.filter parameter in xlDefaultAdmin.properties from the following location.
*<XL_HOME>\xellerate\OIMApplications\WLXellerateFull.ear\xlWebApp.war\WEB-INF\classes.*
And then i run patch_weblogic.cmd, but the updated WLXellerateFull.ear(inside xellerate) does not contain my change in the property file.
I think the location I am referring is not correct.
OIM Version: OIM 9.1.0.1
Weblogic: 10.3
Pls help.

Getting special character while saving adobe form from portal

Hi All,
I am getting Special character while saving adobe form. I am using webdynpro java application, in which I am using download file UI element.We are facing this issue after support packs were implemented in staging system.
Kindly advise.
Regards
Shashwat

Hi,
We have ABAP system as backend system seperately and Single sign on is configured.
when we access the portal with domain name line http://hostname.domain/52000/irj/portal, we are able to access the adobe form which is develope on abap system without any issue.
but our issue started when we are trying to access portal only with hostname as http://hostname:52000/irj/portal
we are able to login to portal but when we are trying to open the adobe form we are getting error
No switch to HTTPS occurred, so it is not secure to send a password
Since you have configured SSL, I assume that this configuration is done with fully qualified hotsname. Hence the certificate is generated based on this hostname.
Now when you access your portal without typing fully qualified hostname, system is unable to locate a relevant certificate. Hence it lands up with a message "No switch to HTTPS occurred, so it is not secure to send a password"
Hope this answers your query

Yosemite doesn't recognize special characters in password when logging in

Hi everyone,
I installed Yosemite yesterday on my mid-2011 MBA and discovered that after restarting it, I was unable to log into it. First, I'd like to precise that I'm using a French keyboard, it could have an importance afterwards.
The password I use for my account is quite complex and uses a special character. Until now, it worked perfectly, but I discovered that, on Yosemite, I have to type twice the special character and the one after, in order to get it worked. Otherwise, it acts like if I haven't typed these two.
Also, this behavior is kind of weird because if I log out, I don't have the issue: it works perfectly. So the issue is just after a shut down/restart.
The only way I could restart the first time was by using the tool made from Apple when you loose your password (pressing the power button until it shuts down). Once my laptop entered that mode, I could just type my current password and choose a new one. But still, I don't get why it works on every screen, except the one after a shut down/restart.
I hope Apple could bring a quick fix for that because it's really annoying. Also, if someone gets the same issue, try to type twice the special character(s) and maybe the one(s) that is/are just after.
Bye.

A password is classified as an oracle identifier and must conform to the rules for indentifiers. To include special characters you need to enclose it in double quotes e.g. "vos1s05!"

OpenSSO 8 configurator error due to special characters in password

We got the same AMSetupServlet StringIndexOutOfBoundsException described in thread 5356908 when running the GUI configurator in OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Update 1 Patch 1.
As in that posting, the error was caused by a special character in the password ($ in this case).
So it seems that the fixes mentioned by kujalli didn't address this issue.

Hello All,
the second issue is resolved as i replaced some other character and included the two necessary for me and the issue is solved.
For first issue, i found an OSS notes 173241, which says character # cannot be loaded alone. But the OSS notes is for version 3.1 and i am not sure whether the issue is fixed in 7.0 version

Connect to SAP BW and using special characters in password is not working

Hi guys,
I connect to a SAP BW System. When I'm using the special character & in my password, I can't connect as the universe designer says that I entered the wrong password. If I remove the special character the connection works and I can select a query.
Is this a know bug? What can I do?
Regards,
Christian

Hi Christian,
According to my knowledge this is not a know issue.
I recommend you create a support case in order to have your issue fixed.

Login screen will not accept special characters in password

So, I have a domain account that has a password that contains the character created by pressing ctrl and Backspace key. I have found that if you attempt to type that character at the windows login screen, it will not recognize that. If you remote desktop
to the pc from any version of windows, it will allow you to type in that character and logs in fine. If you went to change a local users password by using the Computer management mmc, it will allow you to enter that character.
How is it possible that this was overlooked, and is there a likelihood of it being fixed?
I'd like to point out that this occurs in windows 8.1 also. I have a large base of bilingual users that have Spanish and other characters in their passwords that have worked up until now.

Hi,
If i understand you correctly, you could not type the special character at the windows login screen in windows 8.1, but remote desktop could. Am i right?
According to my test, the same result.
So i think you could remote to the pc and change the password:

No there are no restrictions from LDAP,
also I am able to give 32 character password in Coreid Console,
it seems that the web services have a restriction on password length.
Moreover, these web services used to accept 32 characyer passwords few months ago. we lately recognized this issue happening recent times.
I suspect some Oracle hotfix or patch would have made the difference.
But I am clue less how to trace it,
Any help would be appreciated

Error while releasing transport request - Special character "_" in generic

Hi all,
we're receiving the error Special character "_" in generic key when releasing a best practice transport.
Note 1304725 describes my error, but the solution cannot be implemented. The reason for this is that we do not have an individual entry for eacht yb_PS,..,
but we have only one entry where field BWERT has a wildcard '*' as entry.
Does anyone has some idea how to solve this ?
kind regards !

Hello Bjorn,
How did you get this solved?
I'm having nearly the same issue:
A custom-table with a total key lenght of about 365 characters. As soon as I enter a special character (_) in the key field just before the position 120, the message tk287 rejects the entry. Entering the special character in a key field at about key position
60, there's no message rejecting the entry.
Regards
