Updating external application password via API?

Gurus,
I may happen that someone else did ask that question before, but I could'nt find an answer within the last few weeks.
The question is if there's a away to update the lightweight user's preferences for an external application? The background is that we need to set up password changes for External applications automatically.
Thanks for your help!!

Detlef, it's officially not supported, but take a look at sso/ssopsex.pks

Updating username and password via JDBC

Hello,
Curious has anyone developed sample code that would do the following.
1. Using getConnection one passes in a username and passsword.
2. Let's say the the DB password passed is wrong but I want to update the users old password with the new password I just passed?
Anyone have samples that might do this. ie. gets a return of bad password, reconnects as admin DB user, updates person's password, reconnects as orgianal username and password that previously failed?
Thanks,
BP

Hi,
you can also validate an FND login using the FND_WEB_SEC.validate_login package if it's easier.

Error Changing Password via API on x64

Hello,
I'm writing an application for our admin guys but I am stmbling on one hurdle.
On 32/64 OS everything works such as enable/disable user, updating records and such
However on 64OS changing password fails
I have attempted 2 seperate ways one
ent = NWDIR1.FindEntry("NDS:\\BCR\BCR\" & txtOU.Text & "\" & txtUsername.Text)
ent.SetPassword(txtPassword.Text)
ent.Update()
This results in error 0x333 819 Invalid network connection
And also
NWDIRAuth1.FullName = "NDS:\\BCR\BCR\" & txtOU.Text & "\" & txtUsername.Text
NWDIRAuth1.ChangePassword(txtPassword.Text)
This results in API error 0x80048801
Both 64 bit systems are logged in as admin
Any ideas?

Why can't I update CC applications, etc, via cloud anymore?

Every Creative Cloud manager update so far has had to be done from the website (i.e., the manager could not update itself). When this latest InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and InCopy update was announced, the manager could not update them. None are running in the background. I've had a few CC application update problems before, but success usually came on second and third tries. I've also found that I cannot download these CC applications from the website, or maybe the process is too confusing. Any suggestions?

Had not heard about the log files. Although there were errors--none fatal in the logs I checked--Illustrator, InDesign, and InCopy easily downloaded and installed without incident just after your reply. Thank you for the insight, and next time I will check the logs.
However, I have another problem now. It seems that in between the time I couldn't update until I was able, Photoshop CC miraculously updated on its own--or at least the Cloud manager said it was up to date. The problem is that it is not up to date.
Two things indicate this: the supposed update was over 17 days ago, and none of the latest cloud updates are in Photoshop.
You see I'd wanted to try the new Perspective Warp feature (it looks neat), but it wasn't installed (not under the EDIT menu anyway). And after looking for the other great updates, I didn't find them either.
QUESTION: Is there a way to update Photoshop at this point without reinstalling (I have plugins, etc, and don't want to go through the hassel again). The manager worn't let me update.

Accessing the password store (PSTORE) via API

After having created portal users via API srcipt, we now would like to register users
for an external application programmatically.
I.e. we have a portal user and we know his account info ( user / passwd ) for the external application. Portal seems to store account infos for external applications in a "Password Store". So i am looking for an API to register portal users for external applications providing the known acount info,
i.e. sth. like
PSTORE.InsertExtAccount( PortalUser, ApplicationName, ExtUser, Extpasswd).
I had a look at http://www-sso.us.oracle.com/
but could not find API description or any hints when an API like that will go production.
Can anyone help me with that issue ?
Thanks a lot.

This is probably the wrong forum for this question - I would try the 9iAS Portal forum.

External Application username and password

Hi All,
I need a specific requirement. When the user login to externa application first time, whether it stores this username password in any table or somewhere.. Actually i need external application username and password for other purpose. I need that in another application i.e. outside of the External Application. How to call that API to get that info. Is there any otherway to get that.
I thought of doing that, with the use of ExternalPrincipal class, but for we need SSO username and password to instatiate that class. I got some info that, we cannnot get the SSO password. Is there any way to get SSO password. Please help me in this regard.. It is very urgent for me..
Thanks
Damodar

The username and password for a particular external application is stored in the WWSSO_APPUSERINFO_T table in the ORASSO schema. The external application is referenced via the app_id, which corresponds to an external application identified in the WWSSO_APPLICATION_INFO_T table in the ORASSO schema.
To get the ORASSO password in OID, use my GETPASS.CMD file found in my Knowledge Exchange. This file also extracts the passwords for PORTAL, ORASSO_PA and ORASSO_PS.

Update User Password via Web Services

Hello. I am attempting to update the password for a user via the Rights Management web services, https://{mydomain}/soap/services/RightsManagementService?wsdl&lc_version=9.0.1, using .NET 4.0 (C#).
Below is the function I have written. When I execute the code it always returns false. I have searched the documentation and forumns but have not found anything. Can someone provide any ideas on how I can successfully update a users password in LiveCycle via the exposed web services?
public bool UpdateUserPassword(string userName, string password)
            bool result = false;
            WebServices.RightsManagement.UserImpl user = new WebServices.RightsManagement.UserImpl();
            user.userid = userName;
            user.canonicalName = userName;
            user.domainName = DefaultPolicySets.DefaultDomain;
            user.principalType = "USER";
            user.local = true;
            user.locked = false;
            user.disabled = false;
            user.system = false;
            Console.WriteLine(this.rmSvc.resetExternalUserPassword(user, password));
            return result;

The answer to this question was to use another function exposed by the Directory Management Web services, {domain}/soap/services/DirectoryManagerService?WSDL&lc_version=9.0.1.
The function in question is called updateLocalUser().
You can find more information here, http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/programLC/javadoc/com/adobe/idp/um/api/Directory Manager.html#updateLocalUser%28com.adobe.idp.um.api.infomodel.User,%20java.lang.String%29.

dear all,

when i got home and created my own apple id , i had the following problem :
when i tried to update the applications that he installed , i am requiered to put his password that i do not have , even that i have changed the apple id in the settings , could anyone help me please:

Sorry but you will need to Delete those Apps and Purchase them using your Apple ID.
Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

I got this iphone from a guy and everytime i tried to update the applications stored in this phone it keeps asking me the password that the guy used to use, even thou i created a new apple ID of my own and updated the account of icloud and everything in t

I got this iphone from a guy and everytime i tried to update the applications stored in this phone it keeps asking me the password that the guy used to use, even thou i created a new apple ID of my own and updated the account of icloud and everything in this iphone with the new apple ID, it still asks me the password of the account that the guy used to use whenever i tried to update the applications, and i cant find the guy who gave me this iphone...wt should i do???

Apps are permanently tied to the AppleID that downloaded them and cannot be transferred to another. Best thing to do is delete the apps and download those you want or need under your AppleID.

I forgot my Apple ID password and security question. Also the email I'd is not accessible as the organisation has stopped their email service. How can I now update my applications which I downloaded using this Apple ID. Please help

I forgot the password of my Apple ID that I used for downloading apps when I newly bought my mac book back in 2011 October.
Now I forgot the password and also the security question.
Also the email service provider has stopped their email service and hence m not able to use email authentication as well.
Now I am lost, how will i update the applications that I downloaded using this Apple ID.
Please help

Saunakhvshg,
contact Apple directly.

I already have changed my apple id. But whenever I update any application, it is asking and using the old app id and password that is not a working e-mail already. How can I change my app id?

I already have changed my apple id. But whenever I update any application, it is asking the old app id and password that is not a working e-mail already. How can I change my app id?

So you made a new Apple ID? Unfortunately that won't work. Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another and Apple does not merge Apple IDs. What should have been doen is mearely change the email address that was associated with the Apple ID.

The only way that you can do this now is with a new email address if you used your current email address for the new Apple ID.

Trying to update pixelmator. Anytime I try it tellsme "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." ???????? I have entered my account password several times and nothing happens. Any hints?

I just sign in to my account (the oprevious one, with which I bought Pixelmator was hacked and I changed the Password)
Now,anityme I try to update Pixelmator (V. 2.1) the app store tells me "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it."
It simply does not work. Any hints?
Thanks for your help.

It used to be that Spotlight had to create an index for the boot volume with the /Applications folder in order for the App Store Update option to work properly. I had a habit of disabling Spotlight for all volumes by adding disk volume names to the Do Not Index list under the Privacy tab in the Spotlight System Preferences panel, so App Store never let me update apps until I turned Spotlight back on. I turned it on until I was able to update the apps, then I'd turn it off again.
I'm currently faced with the same error message (Login with the account you used to buy the free package) but Spotlight is turned on. Apple really goes out of its way to not tell you what account you used to buy something. That's not supposed to be a big deal, I only have a couple accounts. But when I tried them all, App Store refused to let me update using ANY of them.
It's just Xcode. I can just delete the darn thing and buy it again (all 4 GB of it), but this is really annoying!

Opening applications externally in luakit via vimperatoresque "follow"

Hey guys,
I wanted a lightweight browser and after trying many (midori, xombrero, qupzilla, jumanji, dillo), I settled on luakit (+ privoxy). I use my keyboard for most tasks, so it's no surprise that my loyalties are towards awesome and, henceforth, the equally customizable and vimperator-inspired luakit! Vim is my favorite text editor, so getting my luakit experience to seamlessly blend with the rest of my work is one of my priorities.
This is hardly an original contribution, but I thought it would be useful for anybody new to luakit and facing the same problem I was. I searched online but wasn't able to find an effective way to open files externally (videos, pictures and pdfs) apart from this, but it requires using the mouse, which to me, feels a bit awkward.
luakit fortunately has key-bindings borrowed from vimperator that allow users to "follow" links. Usually 'F' and 'Shift+F' serve most purposes (these open a link in the current tab and a new tab respectivey). Similar functionality can be achived using the ';' key followed by another key to "do things" with the selected link. For example, following ';' with say 'Y' allows users to yank urls. Following ';' with 'O' opens the link in the current tab.
My idea was to connect ';' with another key, say 'd', to instruct luakit to use external applications to open the selected link. Adding the following to the end of your 'binds.lua' achieves just this:
add_binds("ex-follow", {
-- Yank element uri to open in an external application
key({}, "d", [[Hint all links (as defined by the `follow.selectors.uri`
selector) and set the primary selection to the matched elements URI,
so that an external app can open it]],
function (w)
w:set_mode("follow", {
prompt = "video", selector = "uri", evaluator = "uri",
func = function (uri)
assert(type(uri) == "string")
uri = string.gsub(uri, " ", "%%20")
luakit.selection.primary = uri
if string.match(uri, "youtube") then
luakit.spawn(string.format("mpv %s", uri))
w:notify("trying to play file on mpv " .. uri)
elseif string.match(uri, "vimeo") then
luakit.spawn(string.format("mpv %s", uri))
w:notify("trying to play file on mpv " .. uri)
elseif string.match(uri, "vine") then
luakit.spawn(string.format("mpv %s", uri))
w:notify("trying to play file on mpv " .. uri)
elseif string.match(uri, "pdf" or "PDF") then
luakit.spawn(string.format("~/.config/scripts/pdfFromURL %s", uri))
w:notify("trying to read file via zathura ")
elseif string.match(uri, "jpg") then
luakit.spawn(string.format("feh -x %s", uri))
w:notify("file contains jpg " )
else
luakit.spawn(string.format("feh -x %s.jpg", uri))
w:notify("no jpg extension | unrecognized")
end
end
end),
Adding this allows you to use the follow mode with keystrokes ';' and 'd' and once a selection is made, it opens one of the above mentioned external applications. For instance, youtube,vimeo and vine links are opened via mpv (which is a sweet-sweet video player; this also does away with the requirement to use flash for most videos and the prayers for a html5 video to play!). PDFs are opened via zathura. Now, zathura cannot open http links automatically, so the file needs to be downloaded to some temporary location and then opened by zathura. I've written this routine in a small script called pdfFromURL, which can be saved where ever you wish (I've saved it in ~/.config/scripts). This is pdfFromURL:
url=$1
file="${url##*/}"
echo $file
case "$file" in
*\%20* )
urxvtc -e aria2c --allow-overwrite=true -d /var/tmp $url -o lousy_file_name_that_had_spaces.pdf
zathura /var/tmp/lousy_file_name_that_had_spaces.pdf
# echo "found a damned space in file name!"
urxvtc -e aria2c --allow-overwrite=true -d /var/tmp $url
zathura /var/tmp/$file
esac
The above script uses aria2c, zathura and urxvtc. This can be modified as per your requirements.
The picture opening really isn't necessary, but is kind of useful for sites like reddit.
luakit is a really cool browser for being so accessible to costumization (I've never written a single line of lua code previously)!
I hope this post helps at least one other person.
Cheers!

Load username and password for external application?

How to load username and password for external application?
For each user, we should take its Portal username and password for one specific external application. How to do that ?
Regards.

ABSOLUTLY YES !!!!
We already know the external application login information for each user and we want to by pass this user task. (Specially because the user itself doesn't know its username/password for the external appli). In fact we are trying to integrate IStore product to Portal by using this mechanism.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Kamalendu Biswas ([email protected]):
