I have a NSF file which I want to decrypt so that it can be opened without password.
I have changed the encryption settings of the database to "Do not locally encrypt this database". Now I need to locally replicate this database, so that the new replica would be opened without password. Please let me know the correct procedure to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
To access the NSF file through the Notes client the user will have to authenticate using a local ID file - regardless of whether NSF encryption is used.
The user will be asked for a password as soon as the client is opened, in this case when the user opens the NSF file.
To avoid the user being asked for a password, you can do one of the following:
Make sure the Notes client is already open, and a user logged in.
Use a user ID with a blank password.
Setup some kind of SSO, for example by using the same password used for Windows.
Bear in mind that IF the NSF file is encrypted, it should be encrypted using the same ID file later used to open it.
After setting "Do not locally encrypt this database" you only need to compact the database. Then the database is not encrypted with user's Notes-id anymore and others can open the database locally too.
You can compact your database right in Notes Client workspace:
Select the database
Choose File - Database - Properties
Click the "Info" tab.
Click button "Compact"

Windows server 2016.
Old users (those, having profiles/folders created at "C:\Users") are able to remote into our server via RDP, but new users are not. Initially the error was The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be laoded.
Checking server, it seems "C:\Users\Default" has the only folder/entry "AppData", nothing more. I copied the file "NTUSER.DAT" from similar server "Default" folder. Also, folder permissions are identical.
Now new users are able to login, but it goes to a temporary profile and of course, user's profile at "C:\Users" does not get created.
Event logs does not tell much, basically just confirms login errors/notes we get:
Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.
Windows has backed up this user profile. Windows will automatically try to use the backup profile the next time this user logs on.
How this can be solved?
Open the registry editor and go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList then find the key where the ProfileImagePath is the profile location of the user that's not being created. Export, then delete that registry key.
I wanted to create a repository to store transformations and jobs in it. I don't want to install a heavy weight RDBMS, and since Kettle/Spoon can deal with SQlite3 Databases I thought, I could use a SQlite3 Database.
So I created a new database file using the shell and I used the Repository Manager to create a new database connection to this new database file.
It worked, no problem. It also doesn't matter which user password combination I use: the test is successful.
My connection details look like this:
All database tables seem to be in place:
But when I want to access the repository, I'm being asked for a password. I use admin:admin, but I'm getting this message:
I checked the r_user table in the database. I was considering, to change the password there, but I read here that the default password is admin.
I was also thinking, that it's the database user and password that is required, but since it's a sqlite3 DB there is no such thing as a user and password to access it.
Anyone can help, please?
It's a bit embarrassing, but I'm not sure for whom, but...
If you open up the repositories.xml in .kettle directory, you'll see this:
That's a version where I didn't supply a password for the DB User (not the repository user). In this case you see the text Encrypted in between the <password> tag.
If you delete this text (leaving the <password> tag empty) the connection to the repository works (with user admin and password admin for the repository connection).
If you specified a password for the DB connection the encrypted password is stored in the repositories.xml file. But it's also prefixed with Encrypted. If you delete the prefix and leave the encrypted password intact it also works.
Since it's a sqlite3 database it doesn't matter what's the password, though.
Hope someone else will find this helpful.
I have an Access 2010 database with linked tables that connect to a sql server database. I do not have the connections set as a trusted connection, instead I want the linked tables to connect to the sql server login and password I provide. For users who are accessing this over our network it is still prompting for the password even though it displays the login id. Is there a way to make Access save the password as well in Access?
I found that in order to save a password in the DSN, I had to create a File DSN and in that file I had to be sure to include a field for the password such as:
PWD=mypassword
But there is a risk of exposing the password in a file. Ultimately, we decided that it was better to make users enter the password, which will be prompted for on just the first time they try to get a result from a query or table after they open the Access database file.
The data entry form in My DB 2010 will not allow anything to be entered. If I make DataEntry to YES, the from is blank. If I change it to NO, it displays the typing fields, but I cannot enter anything. I have also made Additions and Edits to YES.
The DB is linked to another DB stored in a network where I have only read only access. When I copy the DB from the network to my local machine and relink the tables, the data entry form works fine. I need this DB to work from the network.
You're using bound forms, which in a shared environment isn't best practice, but the root issue is that you only have read access to the back end database. You'll have to request read/write entitlements to the folder location that contains the back end database. Another option would be move the back end database to a new location where users do have read/write access. Lastly, you could always link the tables using an entitlement that does have read/write access.
I am in process of moving Website and its database on a new server under IIS. I moved and attached the database on the new server. Added web site under the IIS, created App pool and made all the changes to the config file to connect to new data source and updated the root folders path.
The index page loads up fine. When i click on another page link, that communicates with the database and I get an error message that reads "Cannot open database "Cdb_name" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'db_user'.
I have tried several steps but none seems to work. I am not sure if this is a right place to post this question. Any suggestions/help will be greatly appreciated.
Can you login to sql server using same user name or password. The problem is most likely:
User name / password is wrong
User don't have rights to access to that database
When you move a login from one SQL Server to a different server, it will not work unless it is a domain account. Delete the user from the Database; Security section, then add it back via the Security section. Liek this:
Delete here:
And add the user and User Mapping to the database here:
