I changed my user's password in SAP Hana using following statement.
ALTER USER <my-username> password "<my-new-password>";
But, now I'm not able to login to the DB using <my-new-password>? Is there anything I'm missing here?
EDIT #1: I'm getting [10]: authentication failed error.
Maybe the user is locked because you tried to many times.
You can unlock the user using:
ALTER user <username> ACTIVATE USER NOW;

If a cognito user lost his confirmation email is unable to reset his password, or ask for resent if his is in "force_change_password" status, and no error is displayed to him.
Is there any known fix on that?
Doesn't completely solve my issue, but it does provide an error message to the user.
If you go to User Pool -> General Settings -> App clients -> under Prevent User Existence Errors -> change from enabled to legacy.
So when the user clicks on the forget password will see this error message "Could not reset password for the account, please contact support or try again".
If a user is in "force_change_password" it is often because you performed an Admin create user operation, where the user is then sent a temporary password to use. After using that temp password the user will be asked to set a new password.
If this is the password you are referring to you can perform admin create user again for the same user and set MessageAction to 'RESEND' [1].
"Set to "RESEND" to resend the invitation message to a user that already exists and reset the expiration limit on the user's account."

I have looked at many posts on this issue, but for me all the proposed solutions didnt work. I am trying to access a database with a remote user, so I am setting the connection credentials as needed. I get the error as shown in the subject of this post. I have checked all the permissions, things like that, windows/sql authentication, etc. Any quick ideas of another potential problem?
Presuming the user has the permission, and you have entered the password correctly as you say, then another thing to look at would be to ensure the user is authorized to access the database remotely.
I am trying to create a user without any password by using queries-
create user abc;
create user 'abc'#'localhost';
but neither of them works. It is given on oracle docs that it is valid to create user with no password by including no IDENTIFIED BY clause.
Please help me with this query.
Either use:
Oracle wallet. User is identified via password, but the password is not prompted manually.
External authentication. CREATE USER XY IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY; The user XY must then have OS account on the DB server.
you can create user without password by using externally keyword OS authentication of that user is used as password,user should have access permission on database .
I have SugarCRM running and able to log in and out using the super admin account. I created a new user with type Regular User and defined it password because I unchecked the auto generation of password.
Even if I change the password through the database I cannot log in. But, if I changed the the type to Administrator that user can now login. Why is that? I want it to be a Regular User only.

In version 6.5.x I have found that there is a problem with password rules. Perhaps this is the case. Go to config.php and look at passwordsetting array. There is a minpwdlenght and a oneupper. Change 'oneuppper' to 'false' and match minpwdlenght to the lenght you want.
This solved my issue.
I have been looking for the past few hours on how to user the phpBB login script on a custom site. I think I'm just not searching for the right things.
A while ago, I created a phpBB site and have over 900 members registered through phpBB. I am currently face-lifting this site and redoing the user registration along with all of the other custom code I have.
My problem is, I want the users to be able to log in as usual, though I want to input them into my new database so everything can run smoothly. I mainly need their username, password and old ID#, but I don't know how to use phpBB's password authentication or where to find it
The statement needs to look something like this:
On Login, grab username and password variables:
if the username is not in MY database, check phpBB database.
If the username is in phpBB database, check to see if the password is correct **(This is the part I don't know how to do)**
If the password is correct, input the username, user ID and the password (encrypted my way) into MY database
Login
If the password is incorrect - error
if the username is NOT in phpBB database - continue
if the username is not in MY database - input username and encrypted pass into my DB
login
Where can I find a script to authenticate the phpBB user's passwords? I don't care how the script is done, I know that's a secret, I just need to be able to authenticate passwords so that I can make sure it's the same user
I do have access to the phpBB database, I just need a way to authenticate their password
I would rather delete the quesion, but here's the answer:
Check here: http://sunnyis.me/blog/secure-passwords/
and when you download the PasswordHash.php, change all of the $P$ to $H$. It will work. Strange how it creates a password, every time it creates, it's different. But the CHECK part of it makes sure it checks it correctly, no matter what hashed pass it creates.
