Vendor mapping and password resets in EP7

Good day,
This is my first thread, so please bare with me.
I'm currently faced with a challenge regarding Vendor mappings and password resets.
We make use of EP7.0 and Netweaver 2004s for the backend. SRM version is 5.0. We map the vendors in the portal to the relevant backend systems. After setting the passwords for the vendors in the backend, we have to log in with the ID's to hard set the passwords. The vendors are set as dialog users and thus their passwords need to be reset regularly, in our case, every 30 days.
My question is this: Is there a better way of managing the vendor mappings, like for instance making them service users which removes the need to change passwords, as from what I understand, it's actually the vendor groups that are mapped to backend users and not every user that belongs to the vendor group. The users still need to log onto the portal with their passwords.
Any ideas are welcome.
John

If its One Portal User to One backend user, you can eliminate this need of password resetting by configuring Logon tickets.
From what I understood is it that you have many portal users all mapped to a common backend user?

End User Unlock and Password Reset in GRC AC 10.0

Hi Dears,
I have an issue related to End User Unlock and Password Reset.
We maintained Data Source as SU01 in SPRO, So that User can able to access GRC Application through End User Login with ECC System login
Details for raise a request.
If user is locked or forget ECC system password, then user not able to access GRC Application through End User Login with ECC System login Details for Unlock or reset Password.
In this situation, how user can unlock or reset the Password for ECC System.
Could you please provide the solution to resolve the Issue.
Note:- No LDAP or Acitive Directory.
System Details :- GRC AC 10.0 , SP12.

Hi Rupesh
That was my warning on the post I linked you to
Quite a few PSS solutions have this as a setup (even SCN). The key thing you are reliant on is that the email account must be restricted to only the user to receive the password/link as well as appropriate Challenge Response Questions defined as part of their registration.
But yes, they can technically enter any User id to request the password and if they know the answers to the questions then they will get the password issue.
Your alternatively is to introduce another system (i.e. AD which you ruled out) or see if there is a way to introduce a second factor authentication (I don't believe this is delivered with GRC).

Need remote lock and password reset

This question is in regards to this thread:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/499f83d0-36f8-4f29-a4ce-e32f76632c90/intunesccm-mobile-application-management?forum=microsoftintuneprod
-We currently have ConfigMgr 2012 R2 and want to start using Intune to support company owned iOS devices.
-We must have the ability to perform remote lock and password reset on our iOS devices.
-According to this link https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn600286.aspx this is not possible with ConfigMgr integration. So I assume this means I
should NOT integrate Intune with our ConfigMgr right now, correct? And according to the response referenced above, Microsoft plans on erasing this disparity in the future, so I guess I should just wait until then and use Intune standalone until
then? correct? But at some point it should be safe to do so, correct?
While I am not in this position, it appears that when you are setting up Intune with ConfigMgr you get to a point of no return where you "Set the Mobile Device Management Authority" and the prompt says this is permanent. For those that
have integrated ConfigMgr, does that mean they are stuck and have no option to change to using Intune only to get these features?
I setup ADFS/WAProxy for SSO for Intune. I can still use that without ConfigMgr integration right?
On a different note, is the on-premises connector for Exchange a requirement for Intune? I have seen several tutorial for installing Intune that do not mention this step.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/eb9618d2-dc90-48be-b921-8044b7e693ac#bkmk_EX_OP

Hi,
I guess the first question is really up to your company requirements and how long you can wait. as there are now communicated time of release of that feature it is hard to say if it is worth it.
Exchange connector in SCCM 2012, no, Exchnage on premise connector for Conditional Access in Intune, if you want to use that feature yes you need it but you can use Intune without it.
Yes, you can use ADFS/WAP for Intune standalone as well.

How can i change email address for security questions and password resets

I've noticed that my password reset requests are going to an old email acount. In fact, i am not sure where they are going.
the real issue is that i don't see a way to change it when i am logged in (it took me many tries to actually log back in) to my apple id account.
I've changed alternate email accounts, but again i don't see a way to change my destination email account for security section of the account.
Also i would rather reset these via text (ATT has this option for my cell phone account reset and i love it). I don't see an option like that from Apple at all.
Any suggestions and help will be much appreciated. Don't want to struggle with password resets every time i need to get in.

If you're able to supply two of your security answers, click here and follow the instructions to change your rescue email address.
If not, you need to contact Apple.

Lost password and password reset utility doesn't work.

Kind of embarassing, but a couple of days ago I decided that it would be a good idea to change my password at three in the morning. Gah!
I tried using the password reset utility, but it would simply crash upon selecting my drive. I ran it from the terminal and it says that it's getting a bus error. I tried using passwd from single user mode, but it seems as though Apple has decided that that is a bad thing. Same goes for trying to run it from the terminal on the install disc.
What do I do now? Getting my files back won't be a problem, but I won't have the equipment to do that until I go home, and there are still a couple of weeks left in the semester. Being stuck using my guest account really *****!
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

This will give you root access to your computer:
1) Reboot into single usermode (Hold "Cmd" + "S")
2) At the Console # type:
fsck -fy
- This should come up OK after a minute, if not run it again
3) At the Console # type:
mount -uw /
4)At the Console # type:
nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -createprop /users/root authentication_authority ";basic;"
- The above should be all on 1 line (this might format it to wrap a line)
5) At the Console # type:
nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -createprop /users/root passwd
- This will reset the root password
6) At the Console # type:
reboot
7) You can now login with the username root

Username and password reset

Can anyone tell me how to reset my username and password

If you have to get connection to the server directly you ca do this:
For Linux/Unix
ORACLE_SID=database_sid
export ORACLE_SID
sqlplus /nolog
conn / as sysdba
alter user <user_name> identified by <password>;
For Windows
SET ORACLE_SID=database_sid
sqlplus /nolog
conn / as sysdba
alter user <user_name> identified by <password>;

Username and password reset for emails

Hi, I have recently upgraded my phone and my husband is now having my Blackberry. However, I can't remember my username or password to login to change the email address over. Can anyone help me. I have phoned O2 who can't help. My husband is with TMobile and they can't help either. I'm at a loss now. Is there a reset button so we can erase what data is on the phone?
Solved!

Sorta, yes.
You can wipe the device of all your personal information and get it back to almost factory like settings... Options > Security > Security > Security Wipe.
If your device is locked to O2, and he is using it on Tmoible, it will need to be unlocked for use on a different carrier. See the instructions and links below.
Then, he will need the BlackBerry Data Plan on his Tmobile account and have the device PIN/IMEI registered for use on Tmobile. You must have the device PIN and IMEI released from your OS account.
Good luck.
To determine if your BlackBerry is already "unlocked" or not:
1. On your BlackBerry, go to Options > Advanced Options > Sim Card.
2. At that screen type MEPD (see note below) on your keyboard. A new menu will pop up.
3. Look for Network in the list.
4. If your device is "unlocked", it should say Disabled or Inactive. If it says Active, it's still locked to that carrier.
If you need instructions on how to unlock your BlackBerry for use on a
carrier other than the one to which it is branded, check out BlackBerry
Unlocks This is a trusted and know by me unlocking vendor.
and read this link for instructions.

Typekit Login and password reset not working...please help?

Hi
I've been using Typekit for a few years now and have a number of website that use the library fonts. I tried to login to my account (not via my Creative Cloud account) and it didn't accept it. So, I tried to reset the password, but I didn't receive it the reset password email... so I tried it again, and again - nothing. I then logged in using my creative cloud login details and tried to sync the accounts, but it didn't recognise my Typekit login.
I don't know what else to do??
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Time Capsule on an external hard drive and password reset

Folks, I have a problem, and am hoping someone samrter (yes, intentional spelling mistake) than me can help. I've used an external USB drive as my time capsule, which has worked for me without a hitch for a couple of years.
I've just recently upgraded my MBP to Mountain Lion, and had noticed that everything was VERY slow. So, as a result I decided to reinstall ML by wiping my MBP hard drive clean, and doing a fresh install, which resulted in a very responsive OS.
Now the problem: when I went to restore my MacBook Pro from my TC on my USB drive, I was prompted for a password, which I provided, and have met with no success, then I ended up trying EVERY password that I could think of, and NONE of them worked! So, my question is this: Is there a way to retrieve/reset the password on my external USB Time Capsule?
Thanks in advance for any bit of wisdom
Mike.

I tried restoring via Migration Assistant, and I was prompted for a password.
Very odd. Are you sure the drive wasn't encrypted? That's the only thing I can think of that would cause a password prompt there.
Can you post a screenshot of the prompt? That might provide a clue.
Here's the prompt for an encrypted drive:
Sorry, wasn't trying to come across as a weiner....
No problem -- just hard to figure out what's going on.

Hi,

But you can try your account in the meantime. Maybe you are lucky and it already works without a reset

HT4848 Restore and password reset

I just get run around in circles with this article support.apple.com/kb/HT4848 regarding OSX restore. Does anyone know where I can get some good input on the use of the external Lion recovery thumb drive I got from Apple.

Im use to using CDs to recover my Mac, and peripherals. I find myself, routinely, in very remote areas sometimes (ie poor to no internet access). What Im looking for is a way to recover my Mac if somthing crashes. 2 days ago I was updating Garage Band and I couldnt log into the locked preference panel to perform an unrelated task. The weird part was that about an hour later my password was working again (yes, while still downloading GB) and I continued on but it worried me about recovery and capability when in remote conditions. Here's what Im looking for:
1. recovery CD like capability to access my Mac when things get hairy.
2. information (a good manual on that software that will help with this recovery) that I can put on my iPad/phone so I can access it when things get hairy.
3. the name of a good traveling barbar who doesnt mind going into the Congo, OutBack, war zone, or remote "ashell" site to give a haircut...when things get hairy. Sorry, I had to lighten things up a little. :-)

Portal Password Reset problem

Hi All,
My scenario wants an automated process where the users can reset their own password. Do you know if the user password reset on the logon page is a automated process? Does the email with password go directly to the user or the email goes to the administrator and then the administrator has to reset the password? Do I need to configure the SMTP in my client system for this? If so can you give the steps involved for configuring SMTP?
I have configured SMTP server by logging as Administrator in portal -> System Admin -> Sys Confgiruation ->
Universal Worlist & Workflow -> Engine and gave the notification email as 'JavaMail'.
The again portal -> System Admin -> Sys Confgiruation ->
Universal Worlist & Workflow -> Email edit it gave the Host name as my SMTP mail server name. I checked my mail server through telner <mail server> 25 and it is opening in command prompt. Am I missing anything here in SMTP configuaration. Fileds like Pop3 User and Pop3 Password I wanted to leave as blank but when I click save in Portal , it self add some encrypted values.
can Anybody has done the above scenario.Its urgent.
I have read on help.sap.com and it looks like it sends an email to administrator and then the administrator resets the user password. Is my understanding correct on the above.
Can anyone provide me a step by step approach on the same.
Suitable answers will be rewarded definitely.
Regards,
Narayanan B

I found some information about this on SDN and on the help.sap.com site that might help:
First look at:
Change/Reset password option on the login page
and:
Password Reset
Then check here:

Password hint required in password reset through console

We are using OID to handle our user database. One of the problems we are having is that the forgot password feature through the Oracle Identity Management Provisioning Console doesn't really enforce required fields for password reset. I currently have the orclpasswordhint and orclpasswordhintanswer attributes with the following settings: required, viewable, self-editable, and Password Reset Validation. The problem is that if someone has never set their password hint and answer, it will not ask for them on password reset and will just ask for their email address. While we could probably control this from within the application hooking into OID, we want to be able to force the user to enter this data or be unable to use the console to reset their password.
