User Name/Password Protecting a Directory

I've seen this done without using a server-side scripting
method, but
instead using a configuration file to set a user name and
password for a
protected directory on an Apache server - where it throws
back the prompt
when trying to access it.
Does anyone know about this "configuration" file that allows
you to do this?
Where can I get the file from and edit it?

Trying to password protect a directory in my portal web server

I have a third party web file manage called ckfinder that i am testing for a client and it works fine. However, when i try to password protect the directory using .htaccess file, it doesn't work. It starts out by kicking me to the SSO logine page, which is fine. But when i put a valid user name and password, it displays a page cannot be displayed error with the url being:
https://infra.portal2.bynum.com:4443/sso/auth
I checked the ssoServer.log and this is what it reads:

ok, i found out the problem. My web server was inproperly configured with by SSO Server. I reconfigured the server with the defaults and ran again and all worked fine..

Auto-update: invalid user name / password

Hello,
I have changed out the CCO username and password for an IPS configured for auto-update but cannot get the IPS to correctly update its signature any longer. I have verified that the CCO login is correct and that it can download a signature file directly using a web browser interface. However, every attempt to get the IPS to update automatically results in the following error:
Auto Update Statistics
   lastDirectoryReadAttempt = 15:05:29 UTC Mon Sep 29 2014
    =   Read directory: https://72.163.4.161//cgi-bin/front.x/ida/locator/locator.pl
    =   Error: invalid user name/password combination
(Note: I have the URL set to 'www.cisco.com')
Thanks,

FYI - just to close my own issue.
The issue was resolved by using the cli to set the values and perform a one-time update. Once that was successful, all future signature updates have worked fine through the gui.

Question on how to Hide the User Name, Password, and Domain fields in the MDT Wizard

MDT 2012 U1
Deploying Windows 7 via Offline Media (ISO) to MS Virtual PC's
I am looking on how to Hide the User Name, Password, and Domain fields which are prepopulated in the MDT wizard via the CS.ini (Not so concerned about the Domain field as I am User Name and Password)
We do need the Computer Name and OU fields to be seen, so skipping the wizard is not a option
The client just does not want these fields to be seen by the end users, they dont want them to even know the account name used for adding the machine to the domain, of course the password is not displayed but it must not be displayed either.
But since we use the fields they must still be fuctional just not seen.
Thanks.....
If this post is helpful please click "Mark for answer", thanks! Kind regards

You shouldn't have to edit DeployWiz_Definition_ENU.xml. You should only need to add "SkipAdminPassword=YES" to the CS.ini file and your authentication information.
Example:
[Settings]
Priority=Default
Properties=MyCustomProperty
[Default]
OSInstall=Y
SkipCapture=NO
SkipAdminPassword=YES
UserID=<MyUserID>
UserPassword=<MyPassword>
UserDomain=<MyDomain.com>
SkipProductKey=NO
SkipComputerBackup=YES
SkipBitLocker=NO
-Nick O.
Nick,
SkipAdminPassword=YES is for:
You can skip the Administrator Password wizard page by using this property in the
customsettings.ini.
I am hidding the Username/Password/and domain field in the computer name Wizard pane which is read from the cs.iniDomainAdmin=xxxxx
DomainAdminPassword=xxxxx
DomainAdminDomain=xxxxxx
JoinDomain=xxxxxx

HT1515 Will Airport Express work in hotels in China? They require user name/password to connect. Has anyone used one there?

I will be traveling in China with my iPad2 and want to use hotel wireless. It requires a sign-in with user name/password. Can I use an Airport Express for this purpose? How do I set it up for that? I have an old Express (pre-2007); can I use it or do I need to upgrade to the new model?

OK - I have never been to China but the posts here say that it can be done - the cable from the hotel should be connected to the WAN port of the Express - the Express should be in bridge mode and set to create a wireless network with a name and password of your choice - you can do this with a computer before you leave for China or with the iPad if you have previously downloaded the Airport Utility app - you would then connect to your network and attempt to bring up a web page such as Google - the hotel should then intervene and ask you for the login info that they have provided.

File Adapter - anonymous login (or )User name ,password login - Efficient?

Hi Folks,
In File Adapter processing , anonymous login (or) proper user name password based login is recommended ?
Because we have faced many issue while using username based login in File adapter .
Which one is best ?
Regards.,
Shiva

Hi Shiva ,
We will go one by one :
You can go for the Anonymous login but the problem is the any body can access the FTP server and it is not the secure one,that is why business generally don't allow the Anonymous login.
Coming to Proper user name password login ,I would advice you to use this one as the connection is more secure in this case.But this also comes with a problem that the username password generally expires after some time as per security policy and you have to change the username password for the FTP server as well as in File adapter which you are using.But this problem can be solved by going for a permanent username and password.
I would recommend you to go for Proper user name and password.

Hi there,
looks like you entered "DBADMIN" when you created the liveCache instance in DBMGUI as the DBM Operator.
For SAP installations, this user is always named "CONTROL".
So, drop the instance again, recreate it with "CONTROL" and re-do the recovery of the liveCache backup.

Safari 2.0.3 in OS 10.4.5 only remembers site user name/password 25%

In previous OS Safari behaved itself, but in this version the "do you want Safari to remember your user name/password" only works about 25% of the time.
Ideas/explanations? BTW I have never used the keychain.
I have just about given up and reverted to having the different names and passwords in Stickies and enter them manually-- what a PITA!

POP3 -Keep asking for user name & Password

Hi,
We have exchange 2003 server with Service pack 2. We have user who check their mails through Outlook 2003, Outlook web access & some users are using POP3 to download the messages.
Since last few weeks, we are getting the complained that when engineers are trying to configured users account in Outlook with POP3 configuration, its keep asking for user name & password. But with same user name & passwords user is able to check their mail through Outlook web access.
In some of our site, users are able to download messages through pop3 account but this account was configured long back.
Kindly advise.

HI,
This is happening mainly when
1. user changed his password through Outlook web access next time its keep poping up for password & it will not accept the new passord.
2. if user is using OWA & when we try to configured his mail in Outlool with POP3 .
See if i remove exchange attributes from user's account & then delete the users from AD & Recreated with same user name, Password & reconnected to that user to his old mailbox, it;s work fine.
Regards,
Chetan
POP3 is enabled by default for all the users.

Dynamic User Name & Password Creation

Hello,
In My Project I want to create no. of dynamic username & password as per user enters no of user he/she want to create.
For that i used database table's last auto-increment value and increment it to 1 & append it to 'st' for student(st+01)
so i am creating User name & Password Like st02 & st02 etc.
now my problem is when maxium limit of auto increment number is reached Usernmae & password repeats,so unique usernmae & Password creation not possible?
Is there any other way to do this other than using databse table's auto-increment field

Make sure the ID doesn't loop? An int(11) should provide MORE than enough possibilities. Be sure to use a long on the java side to hold the ID.

Looking at your screen shot, it seems the database instance itself hasn't been correctly created because you lack permissions to do so. Subsequently, all your connection attempts basically fail because the database does not exists. I'm no real expert in SAP MaxDB administration on Microsoft Windows, but I read about System Error 5 once in a while earlier, have a look at [http://www.syseva.com/2009/05/operating-system-error-5-5access-is-denied/|http://www.syseva.com/2009/05/operating-system-error-5-5access-is-denied/]. Overally, I suspect you don't have the permissions you need to have (operating system/file system -wise) in order to create the files belonging to a MaxDB instance (and/or required by the server and tools, such as the dbmsrv ... err file mentioned in the screen). Maybe you should check your system permissions? Are you administrator or member of the appropriate groups [http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/0e/218650d996419d91f6b234766eadd3/content.htm|http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/0e/218650d996419d91f6b234766eadd3/content.htm]? As pointed out, I'm no MaxDB/Windows expert, but this seems likely to be a problem as far as your screenshot is concerned.

Kristian

But with dbmcli we can connect with the same user.
tttadm > dbmcli -d TTT -u superdba,******

Has anyone a suggestion?!

Have you tried, if you can actually do SQL with that user? Maybe there is a problem with the SQL authorization?
Does the following work for you?

dbmcli -d tz79 -u dba,dba sql_execute select * from dual
