Trace db-activity of a windows client

Hi,
i a windows client which connects and works on a Oracle9 DB. How can I analyze best, what DB actions are beeing triggered, by single client actions, of course if don't have access to the client sources?
I thought about auditing, but this trails the activities only per db-object, or per sql-type of statement, as far as I have read. Is there a method, whith which I can track all kinds of db activities? e.g. functions called, tables used etc.?

Have you looked at SQL trace?

  • Failure of ACL setting for CIFS share resource on Windows client logined with administrator account

    Hi,
      We accounter a puzzle of ACL setting for a CIFS share resource. In our application, we use the
    administrator account to login a Windows 7 OS which is used as the CIFS client. We can access the share resource by "\\server_ip" on  this CIFS client,  but we can't add
    a new ACE to the ACL of a CIFS share resource provided by a CIFS server.
    Why dose this hanppen? Note that the CIFS server maybe a Windows OS or a self-developed CIFS server. 
      The operation details as followed:
    1.Access the share resource by "\\server_ip", login the CIFS server by a valid account on the CIFS server.
    2.On the Windows client, select the "Security" panel in the mouse-right-button properties dialog of a cifs share resource.
    3.To add a new ACE for someone eg. user0, we input "user0" in the "Select Users ans Groups" dialog popped up.
    4.Click OK, but the Windows client will not get the user information for user0 from the CIFS server.
    WHY?
    5.By wireshare network trace, we find the Windows client didn't send any SAMR requests to the CIFS server.
    6.Restart the Windows client OS and login again with another account except administrator, carry out the above operations. We find that the Windows client can get the user information, opposite with the step 4 above.
    WHY?
    7.By wireshare network trace, we find that the Windows client has sent SAMR requests to the CIFS server to get user informations. But that is different from step 5,  WHY?
    If the Windows client OS is login with administrator account, is there any configuration on Windows client to decide whether request user information on CIFS server when setting ACL for CIFS share resource?
    Expect your help.Thanks.
    Best wishes.

  • Using iChat Server with Windows clients in an integrated Active Directory/Open Directory environment

    A co-worker (Super Brent) and I were working on using iChat as an internal IM server after having used Openfire for a couple days. The reason for switching was basically that we had a Mac Mini Server that was available so we decided to take this on.
    First problem: Knowing whether or not Kerberos was needed for AD/OD integration. We spent a ton of time on this, not knowing a huge amount about AD and with our server administrator on courses, we just kept poking at it and removed Kerberos.
    For the AD/OD integration, we first bound the Mac Mini to our Active Directory server. We shut off LDAPv3 support as we only wanted to use the AD functionality. Additionally, we ensured that the search policy in Directory Utility only used Active Directory. Then we created an Open Directory master in the Open Directory service. We enabled a self-signed certificate and trusted it locally. After creating the iChat service, ensure that you use the self-signed SSL Certificate and set authentication to Standard. (no kerberos).
    Second problem: Once this was complete, we started to test clients out. We were unable to successfully login using our AD credentials using Spark IM and Pandium IM. After trying nearly 100 different variations of server configs, we decided to try a new client. I installed Miranda IM on my Windows XP machine and tried a few different setups. It turned out that the magic potion was to make sure that the "resource" field was set to "Home" and use SSL for encryption. This resource setting was the deal breaker for the other IM clients as many of them such as Spark and Pandium do not have this as a login option.
    We ended up using Pidgin IM as the Windows client of choice as it did have the resource variable and it's interface was the best suited for our environment and users.
    I hope this helps someone out there as we spent days looking all over the internet trying to figure this out.
    Cheers,
    Frenchy and Super Brent

  • Windows client error joining with Samba 4.2 Active Directory server

    I have a basic samba 4.2 ADC setup on CentOS 7 and I get a RPC server not available whenever I attempt to join a windows client to the domain. The smb.conf is default on created during provisioning. All indicated pre-testing seems to work as expected. The windows client finds the domain and recognizes a valid user or not but the last step of joining the domain ends with the error "Unable to join the Domain RPC server not available. Does anyone have any ideas?

    I have a scenario for you in active directory when two passwords may be valid:
    Old passwords can also work on domain controllers that have not received replication yet from either the domain controller the password was changed on, or the PDC emulator in the domain.
    Let's take a scenario where we have a 3 site, 3 domain controller (DC) active directory: Site1 with DC1, site2 with DC2 and site3 with DC3.
    The ACS application resides in Site3 and is configured to use DC3 for authentication. We have a user "user1" with a password of "123".
    User1 decides to call the helpdesk and changes his password to "456".
    The helpdesk uses DC1 to make password changes because they are located in site1. For a period of time (based on replication, which defaults to 3 hours between sites) the 123 password and the 456 password will be
    valid.
    If the user1 user tries the "123" password it will work until DC3 receives the changed password from normal replication. If user1 tries to use 456, DC3 will flag this as a wrong password, and then check the PDC
    emulator of the domain to see if it has received a newer password. The PDC emulator will validate the login, and then trigger an immediate replication with DC3.

  • Cisco Jabber for Windows Client SDK

    Is there an SDK for Cisco Jabber for Windows client? I could only find the Web SDK. Are there no other SDKs that would let me control features of the Jabber Windows Client?

    And in order to avoid TAPI limitation, they say they have started using Jabber which controls all phone functionalities through an Application User connected to the Call Manager.
    Assuming they are referring to the normal Jabber for Windows/Mac/iOS/Android applications then this is wrong. Jabber - the client, not the IM&P servers which are part of the CUCM cluster (if you're familiar with Lync consider CUCM+IM&P servers a Front End Pool) - do not use an Application User at all. When a user starts Jabber, assuming SAML SSO is off, they supply an email address. This is used to find the servers via DNS SRV records, or the Mobile and Remote Access Expressway (roughly analogous to a Lync Edge pool) to tunnel through the firewall. After the email address they are prompted for their End User username and password. This is then used to access several APIs on the server, namely the User Data Service to discover what the user has. This would include what the user has configured/available to them. After this is done the Jabber client does one of three things with respect to phone functionality:
    If the user has no phone devices provisioned for them - physical or software - it becomes an IM&P client only.
    If the user has a software phone phone provisioned, it registers as that using SIP. In this way Jabber is the actual phone. This is called a CSF device for Jabber Windows/OS X.
    If the user has a desk phone assigned to their End User account AND administrative policy is to default to desk phone control, it registers to CTI Manager on the CUCM server to control the user's physical phone.
    A user can toggle between option two and three, if appropriately provisioned, but cannot have both simultaneously. In other words, Jabber is either controlling a physical phone over CTI or is a phone itself using SIP. The difference is where the audio/video media is sent from/to.
    All of this happens using that human's End User credentials.
    Now, if you wanted to have a server control the user's phone - either a physical one or Jabber - you would use the TSP as an interface to CTI Manager on the CUCM server and receive real-time events (e.g. the user went off-hook, the phone is ringing with this caller ID, etc.) and issue commands to that phone (e.g. make a call to X). This is done using an Application User account because the server would need to do this for multiple users simultaneously. If you also use the Super Provider concept, the CUCM administrator doesn't have to take the extra step of associating every phone to your Application User manually. Instead, you can simply issue CTI subscriptions to see any/all device activity you want.
    This is all assuming you wanted to do the integration server-side to avoid having to update the Cisco TSP application on every user PC (which also limits your WPF application to machines capable of running the TSP) every time the CUCM administrator patches the servers. If you don't care about that, then you can do this all client-side on the user's PC, and have them supply their End User credentials.
    Of course, you could also reconsider the Jabber SDK and just embed the make/receive call functionality directly into your application instead.

  • Unable to start xsp web service - Windows Client

    Hi all,
    I've got a problem with the Windows client (Windows 7 64-bit). When I start the client I get an error that says:
    Unable to start xsp web service, iFolder will not be able to work, restart the application.
    The client actually starts up. However, I'm unable to do anything with it. Are there any logs I can provide that may give you a bit more insight into what's going on?
    I can connect from my mac client and a colleague can connect (from outside the firewall) from his Windows client.
    Any thoughts?
    Many thanks,

  • How do I configure my Windows clients to talk to Mac OS X Server 10.6

    We had a MacAuthority technician install the server software for us, but he did not configure the Windows clients to talk to the server. I have tried several approaches, all evidently wrong.  Everything I have read says the Windows clients need "open directory" passwords, and he has set them up as "shadow passwords". Heaven only knows what else is messed up.  Please someone step me through this -- I will set them up as new users and see if I can make it work that way.

    What sort of a resulting configuration or environment are you seeking?
    If you're looking to have your Windows clients access storage on your OS X Server and to not authenticate with your OS X Server system, then you can dispense with some of the configuration steps.
    However if you're looking to have the same login everywhere (Windows and OS X), then requirements become somewhat more complex.
    And which version(s) of Windows?  Particularly if you have Windows 7, the options and requirements differ.
    It's less common to have Windows configured to authenticate to OS X; it's more common to use Windows Server and its Activie Directory, either in isolation or in combination with an OS X Server in what's called a "magic triangle" configuration.  Alternatively (if you do want to set up this direct authentication of Windows and OS X Server and Open Directory), then see Mac OS X Server: Alternatives to Windows NT 4.0 domain control (PDC) technology (HT4945); that uses pGina.
    And before you proceed here with any work involving authentication, delegation or related tasks, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities folder, and issue the following non-destructive command to verify your DNS is correct:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    You'll need to specify an administrative password when prompted.  Proper local DNS services are central to getting any of this stuff to work, and this command will (non-destructively) indicate if DNS is correct or if there are issues or changes needed.
    The OS X Server 10.6 documentation is available from Apple, and that can help provide you with some background in this topic.  The 10.6 intro, 10.6 User Management, and 10.6 Open Directory would likely be worth downloading and skimming.  Probably also 10.6 File Services, if that's part of your goal.  (Running a server isn't quite as no-IT-required as might be hoped, unfortunately.  And I don't know of a short cookbook for this stuff; the steps and configurations can vary, depending on your local requirements - apologies on pointing to the docs here.)

  • 10.8.2 Server with DHCP.Windows client problems...

    I have just set up 10.8.2 Server with DHCP. I works almost perfect, but windows clients don`t get an ip-address! I can see the request in the log, but win-clients don`t receive the address! Anyone - help me.....
    I have a screenshot from the log attached, the client "L084" is en Win7 client....

    Current OS X doesn't provide Windows Workgroups and related authentication.   That's entirely different than having OS X Server set up to provide DNS services and DHCP.   Providing workgroups and particularly Active Directory authentication usually involve adding Samba or similar software onto OS X or OS X Server.
    As for the "home" domain, I'd expect to specify the DNS domain that was configured within OS X Server.   Loading random stuff in there might or might not work, as some clients might try or test or use that.  If you're not using the "short" host name specifications, you won't hit that path.   That specification is the default applied when you enter just the host name and not the domain name in an OS X or other DNS query.)  But if something does try that, it'll append "home" and will probably head into the weeds.  (If "home" is the made-up domain that you're using for local DNS, then that is a domain that is quite likely to become a real top-level domain.)

  • Binding Windows Clients to 10.7 OD Master

    @schoysi, however, I have run into the same problem as you. I am getting conflicting responses. The people at Apple were not able to provide an adequate answer and I am confused as heck. Would love to know if anyone has gotten this simple functionality to work. I know that PDC, SAMBA, and WINS are removed from both Windows 7 and 10.7 Server, however, OD is authenticating through DNS which would allow me to think that a Windows user should be able to bind through a domain name.
    I would love to get as much help as possible on this. I myself have been trying every situation, and need to know if I am doing anything wrong. I truly appreciate the support.
    Thanks,
    Syed
    The above Apple documentation suggests you can bind a Windows Vista or Windows 7 (but not XP) client to a Lion Server. However it also reads like it is talking about a PDC style domain which like you I thought was not possible with Lion Server.
    Lion Server has a totally new written by Apple themselves replacement for Samba. The widely believed reason Apple did this was that when Samba switched to a GPL 3.0 license it made it effectively impossible for Apple to continue using Samba code. As the replacement code in Lion is brand new it does not yet address all needs and is likely to have a number of bugs as well.
    One would hope that as time goes on Apple will be improving the new code just like iCal Server made great strides as each version was released.
    I don't have a spare PC + Windows license to experiment with and Microsoft's ghastly production activation makes it a pain to redo the same machine several times.
    The 'Golden Triangle' approach is definitely stated by Apple to work. This involves connecting a Lion Server to a Windows Active Directory system. One would logically also bind the Windows client to the same Active Directory system but then be able to also access the Mac server with the same account as used in Active Directory.
    Of course not everyone has an Active Directory setup nor wants one. Hence in the long run the desire for Apple to eventually provide enough capability to do it all itself. This is in Samba 4 i.e. it is supposed to be able to act as a poor mans Active Directory server, but that is covered by the GPL 3.0 license as mentioned above.

  • Windows Client log to the Mac Os X Server ?

    Hello everybody
    I would like to create a network with Mac OS X Server. I have Windows PC's that would also be in the network.
    Does windows clients can connect to the Mac Server with a username and password ?
    Thank you.

    At the simplest, sure, Microsoft Windows clients can connect to OS X Server services with appropriate credentials.  Mail and file sharing, for instance. 
    Beyond password-based authentication, a more advanced configuration is probably not as simple nor as easy as you might want.   Windows clients really want to use Microsoft Active Directory here and Kerberos authentication probably won't get you where you want.   (This assuming that you can get the Windows clients to accept OS X Server Kerberos authentication.)  
    The usual approach for single sign-on in heterogeneous environments is the so-called Magic Triangle configuration with both Microsoft Active Directory running on a Windows Server and Open Directory running on OS X Server.   This involves the two domains communicating.  It might be easier to get OS X clients operating off Windows Server, particularly with the use of profiles in more recent versions.
    As an alternative to Windows Server, recent versions of the Samba server package include authentication services compatible with Active Directory, and you may be able to get your Windows clients to authenticate to that, and build that as part of a Magic Triangle configuration.  You'd need to download and configure the Samba server, and get the Samba AD support working.
    Related discussions and documentation here and here and maybe this thread.  There are other discussions.

  • Adding a windows client to a sun one Directory server running on Win 2000

    Hi,
    I am a newbie to sun one directory server but i am familiar with windows active directory.
    I have followed the instructions and installed Sun One Directory Server on Windows 2000 Server using a typical setup and create a domain and also created some users in that domain.
    The next thing i wanted to do was to add a windows 2000 professional desktop on this domain and login with one of the user accounts. I tried to adding the computer to the domain via the "My Computer->Network Identification->Properties->Domain" option and gave the domain name as the one i created on the Sun One Directory Server, but i get an error saying that domain was not found.
    Am i missing something here. Do i need to install some client piece on the windows 2000 desktop to add the box on the sun one domain and login in as one of the users.
    Any help will be deeply appreciated?
    Thanks,

    yes, you can use samba for a windows client to login to ldap

    On example of an application where you cannot use Favorites is Adobe Photoshop. It uses the Common Open File Dialog Box in Windows (which does not support Favorites).
    Comparing Finder (MacOS) with Windows Explorer - you "seem" to have the option of using favorites to pin folders.
    Well, if your application calls Windows to use the Common Open File Dialog Box - it's actually NOT POSSIBLE AT ALL to navigate to the user concepts (user folders) pinned to favorites.
    Again, the favorites namespace is completely unused (not provisioned) out-of-the-box. That's may be ok, however it's not fully implemented across Windows and just another example of stuff accumulating up to being unusable.

    Hi
    We recommend you download it from the website and extract it again to make sure your source install is complete.
    Run setup.exe as administrator then try the install.
    If the issue persists, refer to the article on General troubleshooting for installing Office 2013 and Office 365:
