Verifying a username and password against SQLServer 2000 dbase via servlets

Hello everyone,
I sent a message earlier on. I'm really sorry if I sounded rude. Actually Im working on a school project an it involves a bank application. I have created a registration page that saves information in a database table already created on my computer. I have also created an HTML page in wihich registered users can log in. I am trying to verify the username and password against the database table tagged "Register Customer Information" but when I click on the login button, I get an SQL exception that says "invalid column count or syntax error". Please can anyone help me out? I would really be grateful. Thank you so much. The code for my servlet is this:
* LoginConfirmationServlet.java
* Created on January 24, 2007, 11:32 PM
package org.me.RegisterCustomerInformation;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
* @author HP COMPAQ
* @version
public class LoginConfirmationServlet extends HttpServlet {
/** Processes requests for both HTTP <code>GET</code> and <code>POST</code> methods.
* @param request servlet request
* @param response servlet response
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String use=request.getParameter("usernname");
String pas=request.getParameter("passwword");
if((use!=null)&&(pas!=null))
try
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:MyDSN","sa","");
ps=con.prepareStatement("select UserName,Password from RegisterCustomerInformation where UserName= ? and Password=?");
rt=ps.executeQuery();
while (rt.next())
String u=rt.getString("UserName");
String p=rt.getString("Password");
if (use.equals(u)&&pas.equals(p))
out.println("Welcome:"+use);
else
out.println("Your login information is incorrect.");
out.println("Please check to ensure your username and password is entered correctly.");
out.println("Thank you!");
con.close();
catch(Exception ex)
out.println("Error:"+ ex.toString());
/*out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head>");
out.println("<title>Servlet LoginConfirmationServlet</title>");
out.println("</head>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("<h1>Servlet LoginConfirmationServlet at " + request.getContextPath () + "</h1>");
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");*/
out.close();
The html fields names are:"usernname" and "passwword" respectively. I'm making use of the POST method and the servlet name is LoginConfirmationServlet. Please I would really be grateful if any one can help me out. Ive not been able to run this for the past few days. Thanks.

You did not supply values to UserName and Password. You have created preparedStatement object with sql query with ? marks for UserName andPasssword. Assign the values what u got from the form using setProperty(int index) method of preparedStatement and try.

  • Validate web service username and password against Oracle EBS

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to pass username/password to a SOA webservice that needs to be validated against Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) login credentials. The EBS users are not integrated with SOA Weblogic server. In EBS, the standard PL/SQL procedure FND_WEB_SEC.VALIDATE_LOGIN(user_name, password) can be used for validation. Appreciate if someone can provide input on validating the username and password as part of web service security header using any OWSM policy.
    Thanks!

    I'm guessing that you are trying to call an EBS API and are using FND_WEB_SEC to test that the user account is valid in FND_USER first before executing the API call. In that instance, you'll likely need to use the Oracle Applications Adapter for EBS if you want to authenticate the user through FND_USER.
    If you've not purchased that adapter, you could use a simple BPEL process, with a regular database adapter to firstly call the FND_WEB_SEC package to authenticate. Pass the response from eBS into a bpel variable, add a bpel switch based on the outcome of that variable either execute the API call or  throw an authentication error if the call failed.
    You can wrap all this up into one web service that then calls this bpel process, taking the username and password as as input parameters.

  • How do I pass username and password to the Citrix client via netlet

    I have managed to call a Citrix managed application from the portal via netlet (via InitialProgram within citrix_start.html) - thankyou William Geurts.
    How do I use the Portal's single sign-on functionality to pass the username and password through to Citrix via netlet?

    Hi,
    This can be done by writing a small application that will pull session/user info from Portal and then pass it on to another app as needed.

  • Configuration could not be verified - My username and password are correct!

    I am trying to add a second gmail account to Thunderbird, but without success. The first addition went flawlessly.
    Now that I'm attempting the second, I am confronted with the error message "Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?"
    Answer = no. I have verified them by logging into gmail.com with IE several times, and made sure to log out afterwards to ensure no conflict. I do not use two-step verification with either accounts. I have tried to 'fool' google's email servers by capitalizing the outgoing SMTP letters (so as to differentiate from the previous login smtp letters), but thunderbird does not permit capitalization.
    I have not found any other *solved* forum posts that can help me with this problem. I'm running Windows 8.1 and Thunderbird 31.2.0.
    This is a call for help.

    Same problem for me, too.  It happens on my iPad, iPhone, and iMac.  Weird because I have great Internet connectivity and I can log into and view my iTunes account.  I've downloaded three new apps with no problem.  But my iPad shows 14 apps needing updates, my iPhone shows 2, and my iMac shows 1.  In all cases, clicking on "update" and entering the password results in the message, "Cannot connect to iTunes Store".  It's the same result across multiple WiFi networks, even after resetting them.
    I'll see if someone at the Genius Bar can help and then I will repost.

  • Server 2003 VPN clients can't verify username and password

    Hi,
    Hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction. I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 standard SP2 running RRAS. It has Dual NIC's and is configured for PPTP VPN. I am using a BT Business Hub 5 for internet access and using the BT Static IP service.
    The BT Hub assigns the static IP address chosen to the Server using DHCP. The firewall is configured to port forward PPTP traffic to the 2003 server. This all works correctly.
    The 2003 server is on a domain where the DC is a 2008 R2 server. The DC also acts as the DNS and DHCP for the network.
    The default gateway for the domain is pointed towards our WinGate proxy server which also acts as a DNS server.
    The 2003 server LAN NIC is configured manually, usually I would not configure a deafult gateway on the LAN NIC as the WAN NIC needs the default gateway for the BT Hub.
    The problem I am having is if a default gateway is configured on the LAN NIC, I can connect to the VPN and it will logon to the network. Once connected everything works ok. If the connection drops, when trying to reconnect the client can no longer verify
    the user name and password against the domain and the connection is refused.
    If I do not have a default gateway configured in the LAN NIC the VPN clients can not verify the username and password for the domain at all and I get RPC failure errors in the event viewer with the source dnsapi.
    Once this error occurs the only way I can get the clients to reconnect is to disable the WAN NIC, restart the RRAS service and enable the WAN NIC again.
    Any insight will be much appreciated.

  • Getting username and password with https connection

    I have a webservice that will authenticate the user to run a http://localhost:8080/soap/services/myService, I would like to call this in a form when a user clicks a button.  So I require HTTP/s authentication on the SOAP service, and this brings up a prompt:
    Connection at http://localhost:8080/soap/services/myService requires authentication:
               Username:
               Password:
    Now on myService, I want to verify the username and password they have entered in that security prompt within my orchestration.  How can I retrieve the username/password from the Acrobat security prompt?
    If I need to clarify, please just let me know.
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Hi Paul,
    That's sort of what I assumed was happening, but I'm not actually wanting to authenticate for the webservice call it seems.  I'm wanting to capture their username/password via acrobat prompt then push it along to the soap service.  So I guess via script I would want to do:
    1. prompt the user for username/password via acro-prompt (not sure how to do this)
    2. capture their input in variables (again not sure from acro-prompt)
    3. set up soap message (I can do)
    4. send data ("")
    5. receive data on LC side and use the user/password to authenticate in a database table I created ("")
    6. modify a field based on authentication allowed/denied ("")
    It doesn't necessarily have to be an actual authentication box, but I just want a username/password prompt so I can get those values.
    Thanks,
    Alex

  • Unable to verify account name and password. Facebook & Twitter

    As the title says.. I cannot login neither to facebook nor twitter on Mountain Lion.
    Shutting down and restarting the MacBook doesn't work, as well as the time and date setting or Twitter/Facebook App preferences.
    All useless.
    What's wrong!?

    Try this, it worked for me:
    System Preferences --> Mail, Contacts, & Calendars --> Remove your Twitter account by clicking on the at the bottom of the left hand pane in the window.
    Go to your Twitter account and under your Settings --> Apps, revoke access to OS X Integration and click 'Save'.
    Return to your System Preferences where you removed your account and attempt to add the account again. After you enter your @username and password, attempt to use the app in the notification window.
    It fixed the problem for me and even gave access to the OS X Integration back to my apps on my Twitter account.
    Prior to this, the Mail, Contacts, & Calendars would tell me that it was 'Unable to verify account username and password'. Very frustrating.
    I hope this helps you!

  • Incorrect Username and Password

    When I attempt to download Adobe Digital Editions, it asks for my username and password. Each time I type the username and password given me by Adobe via email, it tells me that my username and/or password is incorrect. Please help.

    Jessica, Digital Editions does not require you to authorize your computer with an Adobe ID. This option is necessary to address concerns about some users' needs for privacy (for example, library patrons and minors). However with this option, protected items that you have already downloaded or will download later are tied to that particular computer and are not readable on other computers or devices. They also can't be restored from backup if the operating system is reinstalled.
    If you don't want to authorize your computer you can decline at first launch of Digital Editions, in which case your digital content will belong to the computer, not a named user account. Subsequently, you will be prompted to authorize your computer whenever you purchase an eBook, although the prompt dialog box provides a"Dont ask me again" checkbox. Greetings,
    miranon
    BTW, as suggested above read the Adobe Digital Editions FAQ - http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/faq

  • I do not know my apple administrator username and password? How do I find out what it is? I am trying to download IBM Notes and Domino onto my MacBook Pro and I cannot download the software without verifying my apple administrator username/password

    I do not know my apple administrator username and password. How do I find out what it is? I am trying to download IBM Notes and Domino onto my MacBook Pro and I cannot download the software without verifying my apple administrator username and password.

    iOS is only for mobile devices, so:
    Resetting or changing a password:
    For Snow Leopard or earlier:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
    For Lion or later:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6022
    For Mavericks users:

    If it's running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, insert a Mac OS X install DVD, restart with the Option key held down, click on it, and use the Reset Password utility.
    If it's running Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down, open the Terminal, and use the resetpassword command:

  • I have Iphone 4s, and the phone will activate itself again. How do I get changed Apple ID on my phone so that I get using the new username and password that is verified? I would like an answer as soon as possible ... Thank you very much.

    I have Iphone 4s, and the phone will activate itself again. This I have verified, but when I shall put this onto my phone, so the phone will not approve the newusername and password. How do I get changed Apple ID on my phone so that I get using the new username and password that is verified? Silly to buy a new phone just for this .... The phone is almost three years old. How long can weexpect this to last? I would like an answer as soon as possible ... Thank you very much.

    It sounds like your device might be in Activation Lock.  Is it asking your to enter in an Apple ID & password, but only showing you the first letter of the email address and then some dots? Example: j•••••@icloud.com?
    If so, do you recognize that email?  Do you have an Apple ID that fits the same format?  If so, then go to www.cloud.com, log in with that Apple ID & password, and see if under Find My iPhone it shows this device.  If so, turn off the device, then remove the device from the list.

  • Can't get FaceTime to work...any suggestions...it just keeps me in this loop of asking to sign in, then verifying, then asking to sign in again. I know the username and password are correct.

    Can't get face time to work. Know the username and password are right. Asks me to sign in...verifying... And then goes back to sign in...

    One thing that worked for me:
    launched Message app which uses the same backend as Facetime. If it launches, click on the video. May display a Error Dialog. Call AppleCare and give them the number displayed. This will give them the needed info to check your AppleID account for the messaging servers
    For some reason FaceTime did not display this error, yet once I gave the Support person the number it was fixed in just a minute.
    YMMV

    Note that you lose privacy when using Gmail (and Yahoo):
    Gmail and Yahoo both scan users' emails. They do algorithmic analysis of your email messages, targeting ads that relate to the content of your messages.
