Title: OAS 10g - portal default password
Post by Pete Finnigan on Nov 7^th, 2005, 2:35pm

Hi
I need the default portal schema password in Oracle Application Server 10g (username=portal);
I've changed it and now the OC4J-BI-Forms can't start; it gives me the error "database dependency failed portal" and nobody can connect to my portal instance.
The portal default password doesn't figure in the password list of the site. does somebody knows it
Thanks for helping me

Hi,

do you mean the database schema account? - if so the portal schema default name is PORTAL30 and the password is PORTAL30.

cheers

Pete

Hi Adam,

I have a lot of updates for the default password list that I just have not had time to add to my site yet. I have around 500 new default users and passwords to add. I have checked my lists and have:

Code:

PORTAL CHANGE_ON_INSTALL 36264325D174B467
PORTAL PORTAL A96255A27EC33614','

That is username, password, hash. Try these?

cheers

Pete

Thanks a lot
I fixed my problem; in though i needed to synchronize OID password and database account password by setting the portal password attribute to the database schema account:
cn=orcladmin@OID_hostname:OID_port
(for example: cn=orcladmin@infra.acme.com:4032)
=> Entry Management
=> cn=OracleContext
=> cn=Products
=> cn=IAS
=> cn=IAS Infrastructure Databases
=> orclReferenceName=asdb.<domain, ie us.oracle.com>
=> OrclResourceName=PORTAL
I'm really happy to have solve this problem
Cheers
Adama

I have the same problem. I changed Portal password by going to sqlplus and now OC4JFORM and report server will not start. Can you explain how you solve dthis for benefits of all. I understand from OAS documentation I should be changing it from Middle Tier in OAS. But having missed that step before, now if I go and try to change again with the hope this will make datbase password and repository password in syncper book), it gives me error Invalid password.

We are using 9.0.4. What tab you used to - "synchronize OID password and database account"

Thanks

Hello
You have to synchronize the OID schema with the database account of portal user.
Go to Oracle Directory manager,open the treeview: entries management, cn=oraclcontext,cn=products,cn=ias,cn=ias infrastructure databases,orclreferencename=yourdatabasename,orclresourcename=portal and look the value of the property orclpasswordattribute, this is the right password of portal.
You can now go to sqlplus and do an "alter user portal identified by 'right password'"

Restart all your IAS...it'll be ok

Hope you'll solve your problem...

If you have OID you can ask the portal password with a ldapsearch command:

ldapsearch -h <host> -p <port> -D "cn=orcladmin" -w <pw> -b "cn=IAS Infrastructure Database,cn=IAS,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext" -s sub "orclresourcename=PORTAL" orclpasswordattribute

And the password (and some other passwords) are stored unencrypted in one of ODS CT_ tables (I think ct_dn).

Thank for tip isaez !

But for me it need correction:
-b cn=IAS Infrastructure Databases

And a full commad:
ldapsearch -h <host> -p <port> -D "cn=orcladmin" -w <pw> -b "cn=IAS Infrastructure Databases,cn=IAS,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext" -s sub "orclresourcename=PORTAL" orclpasswordattribute

Maby I'm blind, but I have not found unencrypted passwords in ODS.CT_DN table or any similar table.
Know anyone in witch table are these unencrypted passwords ?

Marcel,

I don't remember which table exactly. But I know I had to search the Entryid of user portal in one table (I think ct_sn or something like that) and with that entryid I had to search in another table for the password. Maybe I did it through a ods procedure. I don't remember exactly. I'll try to find it out and will let you know.
