Account XYZ has expired and we don't know the password of account xyz and don't want reset the password also. How can open account XYZ without change the password?
View 1 Replies View Relatedwe are working to increase the security of our oracle application by adding profil and expiration to all our database username.
Expiration is actually set to 60 days.So if i understand it correctly, 60 days is counting from when i change my password. So if I change it at 10:30am it will expire at 10:30am in 60 days.
Our forms application is calling all forms using the command open_form with SESSION parameter to open all forms in new session.
My problem is when the user connect in the system let say at 9:00am. At 10h30am the password will expire and when the user will click to open a new form from the application he will get the message ORA-28001:the password has expired.The new module will open even if password is expired and will raise the error FRM-41352: Failed to create session. So the module will stay in the same session than the caller.
Is there a way to catch the ORA-28001 and force a new logon.Probably with some code in the ON-ERROR of the called module but this mean that i will have to change +400 forms.

Created user xyz on July 20,2013 with defualt profile (oracle version 11.2.0) and PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME is 180 for default profile. Immediate my friend have assigned new profile APSC to user xyz where profile APSC has PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME = UNLIMITED.
we surprised, user account has expired within a month. How user xyz account can expired within a month????
Note: User account status was open when account created and assigned to profile APSC.
Lost Windows password? Forgot Windows password? Your PC was hacked? Therefore, it is a basic step for every Windows users to enhance the security of Windows password. In the networks, it is found that a number of user's passwords are easy to guess. Only the smallest groups are the most security conscious and select passwords that are mixed lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers and punctuation to create cryptic passwords. Adopting strong password is one of the most effective ways to ensure system security. Here are several methods for you to enhance the security of your passwords in Windows 7/2000/XP/Vista and so on. You'd better remember the methods below unless you want to reset Windows password from time to time.
1. Is random password a great password?
A common myth is that totally random passwords like Ht3&e#L%5d@$B are the best passwords. This is not true. While they may be strong passwords, they are usually difficult to remember, slow to type, and sometimes vulnerable to attacks against the password generating algorithm. It is easy to create passwords that are strong but much easier to remember by using a few simple techniques. For example, consider the password "Luck-73@Better?". This password utilizes uppercase and lowercase letters, two numbers, and three symbols. The password is 15 characters long and can be memorized with very little effort. Moreover, this password can be typed very fast. The portion"Luck" and "Better" alternate between left and right-handed keys on the keyboard, improving speed, decreasing typos, and decreasing the chances of someone being able to discover your password by watching you.
2. Create the long Windows password
Although a password may eventually be discovered through some means, it is possible to create a password that cannot be cracked in any reasonable time. If a password is long enough, it will take so long or require so much processing power to crack it. That is essentially the same as being unbreakable (at least for most hackers).
3. Create the Windows password constantly?
This may be good advice for some high-risk passwords, but it is not the best policy for every user. It is frustrating for a user to have to constantly think of and remember new passwords every 30 days. It may be better to focus on stronger passwords and better user awareness rather than limiting password age. A more realistic time for the common user may be 90-120 days.
4. Write down Windows password in a proper place
Sometimes it is necessary for some users losing and forgetting complex passwords easily to write down them somewhere proper. However, it is important to educate users on how to write down passwords properly. Obviously, a sticky note on the monitor is not a good idea, but storing passwords in a safe or even a locked cabinet may be sufficient.
5. 14 characters is the optimal password length
Each character that you add to your password increases the protection. Your passwords should be 8 or more characters in length; 14 characters or longer is the Optimal Password Length. Many systems also support use of the space bar in passwords, so you can create a phrase made of many words. It is not easier to forget and lose, as well as longer than a simple password, and harder to guess.
6. Try not to use the same Windows password for all accounts
Some users always make the same passwords for every account to make it easy to remember. In that case, when any one of them lost, your other information protected by that password will be in danger as well. It is serious to use different passwords for different systems and accounts.
7. Do not use some common words that other users maybe guess
Most of users prefer to use some common words to remember easily, for example, login name, birth date, driver's license, passport number, pets' name and other words contained their personal information someone knows. In that case, your Windows system will not be safe anymore. Moreover, do remember not to use some words spelled backwards, abbreviations, sequences or repeated characters and adjacent letters, such as, asdfgh, 123456, 888888, abcdef and so on.
You can smoothly use your Windows now because the strong and powerful Windows password is created successfully, Certainly, I believe that many users lost Windows password and forgot Windows password, then you need have to reset Windows password or recover Windows password. It is a big problem for plenty of Windows users that how to reset Windows password. how to recover Windows password and they are puzzled by resetting windows password, for instance, reset Windows 7 password, recover password Windows XP, remove Windows Vista password and other operating systems after they create the password with complex letters, numbers and symbols. However, it is unnecessary to worry and it is said that things will eventually sort themselves out. There are many ways to reset forgotten Windows password, including use windows password reset disk and windows password reset software, like Super Windows Password Reset, a professional windows password reset software which could enable you to logon to Windows smoothly without reinstalling system.
Provide me the script which would track all the users security violations like ... say for example i want to find which users logged in and what he did in database prospective.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are trying to implement the following security to our database.
As of now, the access rights are same for all the windows users logging into the Oracle application with the same Oracle user Id.
But now, we want to improve our security by granting different levels of rights to the users based on their Network Id even though they use the same Oracle User Id to log into the application.
We are not looking for the users to be identified externally.

i have created a database on my pc and i have given a password at the time of installation , after the installation it is accessed successfully by the given password , but i observed that when i gave anything in password then it is also accessed by it and i don't have any other database of this same name.
And when i access it through another system then it is accessed only by its original password not by any other password.
how to see password of users in 11g
View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm working for a credit card company and on a security project. We have oracle databases. Currently the passwords have to be changed every so often for key accounts for security purposes. Any tool to automate the process?
Any way to automate password changes on many accounts where only some people would be able to get the new password once it was changed.
Also, these IDs/passwords are sometimes used by applications to connect to the database so .ini files or some type of connection file would need to be changed automatically also.
I have following problem I have simple script in bash where I connect to db and launch simple select.
username:$(value)@host...
Problem is that i want to hide the password or encrypt. currently as you can see Iam using variable (value) where the password is keep. the problem is that, mentioned script is launched by many people which are using the same user (monitor). the variable is read from a file where user (monitor ) has access its in the same directory.
is there any way how to solve it ?
for e.g.
1. to put the file with password in another folder where the user (monitor) has no access to see the file.
2. to decrypt the password, but I have no clue how to do it .
We have a requirement that the password of users never expire. But the user is notified when the password has not been changed for a long time. For example: If the user has not changed his password in 100days, he is to be notified that the password is old and he should consider changing it.
Is this possible directly through the password policy configurations? Or will it have to be handled using a separate procedure?
While searching for password encryption I came across these statements.
1.Password Encryption While Connecting. This protection is always in force, by default. Passwords are always automatically and transparently encrypted during network (client/server and server/server) connections, using a modified DES (Data Encryption Standard) or 3DES algorithm, before sending them across the network.
Confirm whether by default oracle encrypts the password before sending it to the database across the network even when the clear text password is used for connecting from a jdbc client.
Is it possible to track the password changes made by some user using the logminer with the archived logs?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a database in which a user xxxx is assigned a password 'bbbbb'.I want to change the password to the one which was used before which was 'aaaaa'.But when I change the password it was saying "Password cannot be Reused".So I checked in user profile and found out that password_reuse_time=unlimited and password_reuse_max=5.
So what I did was change the password 6 times to something else(Since it is 5) and then tried changing it to 'aaaaa' but still it is saying "Old password cannot be reused".
We currently hardcode the password inside our Java application to make the connection with the Database,this makes the password to be visible to all users who can read the application code. How can we encrypt the database password so we don't have to hardcode it into the application?

User A contains tables, views, LOB's, types, procedures, triggers, sequences, indexes, synonyms. User B wants to have read-only privilege on the objects of User A.
I can provide select on privilege on tables and views. How about providing read-only privileges to other objects?
I have enabled Auditing in my oracle Database but I am not able to see any database for the operations of sys user or any other user in my "SYS.AUD$" and "SYS.FGA_LOG$" tables.
Value for the parameter "AUDIT_TRAIL" is set to "db,extended".
I am working as "SYS" user and I have shutdown and again startup the database but neither there was any information in both the tables nor I can see any files at the destination specified by "AUDIT_FILE_DEST".
