How to reset locked user in SAP ITS server? - locking

We have this ITS SAP server hosted in Windows Server 2003 and our support on this already left us without transitioning the application. Now we got Name or password is incorrect/ locked out see below picture. We already unlock the user / reset the password in SAP but it is not reflecting to the web application. I need to what file where the user name and password is located so I can change it with the new SAP username and password.
Below are the current location of SAP in our server.
C:\Program Files\SAP\ITS\6.20
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\PRD\sap\its
Please help thanks!

We now fixed the problem.
Below are the steps:
1. Reset the password in SAP
2. Stop ITS SAP Service
3. Open and change global and zvwi in ITS Web Studio
4. Copy and paste the updated files to the production ITS PRD services folder
5. Restart the ITS SAP Service

You may have reset the password, but clearly it's not unlocked. Unlock the user, then login using SAP GUI before you try the ITS service again.

Is “HANA database master” user the SYSTEM user?

I installed HANA Express in a VMware Workstation environment, and also Eclipse 4.6 with the HANA administrator plugin. Both VMWare and Eclipse run on Windows 10. I can start HANA with no issues, however when I try to connect from the Eclipse plugin the connection fails.
The tutorial to configure the HANA administrator plugin in Eclipse instructs to enter SYSTEM as user and then a password. The problem is that in the HANA Express tutorial the only user that seems to be set up is the "database master" (see text below). Therefore, I don't have the SYSTEM password and I don't know the "database master" user (even though I know the password). How to make this work?
Step 3: Startup: Configuration Script
A configuration script will run if this is the first login. When prompted
for HANA database master password, enter a strong password.
Tip: Make a note of this password, since you’ll need it later. You can enter
the same password you used earlier, or a new password. If you are entering a
new password, see the password rules earlier in this tutorial.
XSA_ADMIN
XSA_DEV
XSA_SHINE
TEL_ADMIN
When prompted to Confirm “HANA database master password”, enter the strong
password again.
This is the error I get in Eclipse log:
The SYSTEM password is the same as the master database password for HXE. If that does not work, try HXEHana1
Also, I see you are trying to connect to instance number 00. If the HXE VM is 2.0 sps00 or higher, the default instance number is 90.
You can rule out connectivity problems by running the following from the Virtual Machine's console:
hdbsql -n localhost -i 90 -d SYSTEMDB -u SYSTEM
This will connect to your instance and prompt for the password for user SYSTEM so you can confirm which one is right before configuring HANA Studio.
I had the same issue.
I used user : XSA_ADMIN and the HANA password chosen as part of the tutorial.
Its now connected.

How do I fix the error:1069 - The service did not start due to logon failure?

I have written my own windows service which interacts with a SQL database and updates it. The service was running fine and seems to be functioning correctly, however of late it seems to go down at random times and cannot restart due to the error designated in the question. I have tried various searches to fix this, but unfortunately I have come up with nothing. The aim is to eventually having this service running on my companies server, but I can't adjust any server settings, I am but a user on the server, so I have restrictions to some settings.
Any quick fixes, would be helpful!
Open the Services Manager. ( Win + R, then type services.msc )
Then right click on the SQL Server process and click Properties
Then go to Log On, and select This account:
Then click Browse, and add your username in the box. (Notice it should contain the domain, in my case is AD\myusername), then Check Names and accept.
Finally type your password in the other two fields, and that's it, you should have permission to start your process now.
Cheers!!
One issue for us was the format of the account user name, we initially used
domain\username
and got the 1069-logon error, then ultimately I tried validating the user name in the properties | logon tab of the Service (in Control Panel / Service Manager), using the "Browse" and "Search" for the user name and it turned it suggested and validated ok with the reverse format
username#domain
This also worked and resolved the 1069 error, and let us script the startup using sc.exe.
Error 1069 is vague and can have different causes. I am sharing my experience here.
I encountered this error when trying to get a service to run under my account (I am trying to get my services to see the same LocalDB as interactive processes running on my account for development purposes). I use an MSA (Microsoft Account) with Windows’s PIN login normally, so I rarely enter my Windows password. To resolve the issue, I locked my screen, selected Password input instead of PIN input, and then entered my password. I assume this somehow reminded Windows what my password was and made my local account more legit.
Before doing this, you need to configure the user account in question to have the Logon as Service privilege. To do this, open the Group Policy Editor. Expand Computer / Windows Configuration / Security Configuration / Local Policies / User Permissions Assignment and then open Login as Service. From there, you can add your user in question.
also check for "Deny Logon service" policy.
user should not be added over there
We had this issue as well because the account was set so that the password expired. After we updated the account to not expire and set the password this error stopped.
The account could also be locked out. To unlock it, you only need to change that user's password (new and old password can be the same).
What also worked for me was re-entering the password in the services->LogOn window. Even when you think the account and password is correct, re-entering it will re-grant the account permission to log on as a service.

User credential verification failed when configuring Visual Studio MVC authentication

When creating a new MVC app and clicking "change authentication".
After choosing "multiple organisations" clicking finish and logging in with my Microsoft account (the one used for Azure) I receive the following error:
User credential verification failed.
Error: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: entity
Any ideas?
The error is very generic so has proved tricky to find a hint of what to try next.
EDIT:
I have remembered that I have Update 2 RC installed, so it's possible it's just a bug in the pre release.
Ok, I believe I have the answer to the issue.. Seems like this login dialog lets you log in using the Azure AD accounts, but also using Microsoft's accounts. And if you log in using the Microsoft account, it will give this error (even if this MS account has full access to your Azure account).
The solution is to go to the Active Directory in Azure and create a brand new account, mark it as a Global Administrator, then use that to log in when prompted in Visual Studio.
Microsoft has a write-up on the issue, describing the steps to go around it here:
http://www.cloudidentity.com/blog/2013/12/11/setting-up-an-asp-net-project-with-organizational-authentication-requires-an-organizational-account/
Restart VS. So that you wont get the same error again and clears the logged in user. You would need a user with Global Admin Rights in your Azure AD to login again.

User '' does not have required permissions, SSRS 2008 on Windows 8

When you try to log into SSRS's root site at http:// (servername)/Reports it displays:
User '' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
This is on a 64 bit edition of Windows 8 Pro, running SQL Server 2008 enterprise. Everything should be using the local system as the account of execution.
I have tried changing the execution account as my user which is admin, I have added the site as the trusted site, I have UAC turned completely off, I have tried to hit the site with IE AS ADMIN, Chrome, and Firefox. Everything I try the site states back that I don't have the rights. I go into SQL Server and ensure my roles are everything for my user. It does not care. I am currently reinstalling the SSRS node of the SQL Server install but am curious if anyone else had this issue yet.
I am going to try to change my account to a 'local' account as I am thinking that may be an issue yet I don't understand why SQL Server can recognize my login integrated just fine. Honestly I never ran into this and am wondering if this is an issue just with Windows 8 accessing SQL Server 2008. I would upgrade but I have a full version of SQL Server 2008 and not of 2012 so I am hesitant to just upgrade unless Express 2012 will come with Business Intelligence Development Studio and SSRS site with tools.
EDIT: 3-8-2016:
No answer with: "Just turn on site settings" is valid as this is the first time installing as the admin of the server or machine locally and not able to access the landing page as that admin.
No answer with: "Just run IE as admin" will work last I tested that.
Answers with "Trusted SITE settings MAY WORK" on Windows 8 and higher as I had a similar problem to this with Windows 10 and on Windows 10 it did fix it. I am not going to rollback two OS versions to check at home though, sorry.
I don't get how this question can be existing for a while and people are now on a mission to claim it is duplicate when the very answer is different than the potential duplicate. That whole thread deals with someone able to get into the site with elevated permission and just not setting up roles and users after the fact. This is the main user of the machine not getting to the landing page as an admin to the site listed as the default landing. Not even the same ballpark. Getting into a page as an admin to let local users in versus the highest level God user not getting in is not the same.
Everything in this answer is true but don't reinstall all of SSRS thats nonsense...
Windows 8
Disable UAC
Enable Administrator Account (You can go to Control Panel > Computer Management > Users)
Restart PC
Run IE ad Administrator when prompted login with your local Administrator account you enabled.
You will need to adjust site settings security and folder settings security. Easy fast fix just add "Everyone" in both of those with full rights.
Problem solved!
I ran into the same issue myself but with Windows 7 and SQL Server 2008. I resolved the issue following the instructions from Suresh Kumar's blog post at http://skamie.wordpress.com/2010/06/24/ssrs-and-uac/
In a nutshell here are the steps you need to take to resolve this issue:
Start your browser using 'run as Administrator'.
Navigate to the report manager and under Site Settings -> Security assign your account or the local administrators group to the System Administration role.
Then navigate to the home folder and under the security settings assign your account or the local administrators group to the Browser, Conent Manager, My Reports, Publisher and Report Builder roles.
Now you should be able to run your browser as normal and access SSRS without any issues.
Okay this is really annoying what needed to be done but here goes.
From what I kept reading Windows 8 does not by default enable the default administrator account.
I usually don't use this account but in this case I was desperate as my account could not get in.
I understand ONCE YOU ARE IN you can set the site settings, that does not help if you cannot even see the site's main landing page to see that setting.
The steps I took to finally resolve were;
Uninstall SSRS Node COMPLETELY by going to control panel>SQL Server 2008>Remove>Check Reporting Services
Enable default admin account: command prompt>run as administrator>net user administrator p#ssw0rD, hit enter.
New line: net user administrator /active:yes
Reboot
Reinstall SSRS from disc with logging in as default administrator
Install SP3 as administrator
Go to IE.exe DIRECTLY in Windows 8: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe>Run as administrator.
Go to http:// (servername)/Reports
You SHOULD now be able to finally see site settings. NOW YOU CAN FOLLOW everyone's directions of adding YOUR USER under site settings. Also go to folder permissions and add the user as a default here as well.
(optional) For safety I would hide the default admin account now by using step 2 but substitute /active:no in.
If your main admin can't open the door, no one is getting in. That was the main issue I was having. My default admin could not get in. Now everything is working fine and dandy like it should with deploying from BIDS as well.
I had the same problem on my Windows 8 system (32 bit) with SQL Server 2008R2. When I started IE using 'run as Administrator' it still asked for a user name and password and resulted in "user does not have permissions"-error when I entered my user name and password. This is what fixed it for me:
I disabled UAC in the registry (Set HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\EnableLUA to 0). I first set notify-level under Control Panel | System and Security | Change User Account Control to the lowest level but that didn't make any difference.
After reboot I started IE using 'run as Administrator'. Went to Report Manager | Site Settings | Security: added my account as System administrator.
Still in Report Manager I went to Home | Folder Settings and added my account with role Content Manager.
I enabled UAC through Control Panel | System and Security | Change User Account Control settings by setting it to default level again. (Reboot required)
When I run IE as Administrator now and supply my user name and password it does show the homepage of the report manager.
Run Internet Explorer as administrator (right click on the Taskbar icon)
Step 1 :: Add your local username to the Site Settings security roles page. (Security - System Administrator)
Step 2 :: Add your local username to the Folder Settings on the home page. (Select Content Manager)
Close the Administrator IE session.
Open IE in normal mode under your user account.
Windows 8.1
I resolved this with help from the answer by Austin McLaughlin posted earlier. In my case I had been logged in with a local account that had administrator privileges, but attempting to http://127.0.0.1/Reports (hearinafter referred to as "the Reporting Services Manager") produced the error reported by the OP.
The key for me was that the Administrator account was disabled by default in my Windows 8.1 laptop. Note that I did not originally have Windows 8.1 Pro, so there was no "Local Users and Groups" under "Computer Management". Thus, I had to purchase the Windows 8.1 Pro Pack online from MS for $100.
In Windows Explorer, right click on the Computer node and select "Manage".
Navigate to Local Users and Groups > Users
Right click on Administrator and select Properties
De-select "Account is disabled"
Restart PC
Log in to the PC as Administrator (I did not have to enter a password for the Administrator account on first login.)
From the desktop, run IE. No need to run as Administrator, of course, since you logged in as Administrator.
Navigate to the Reporting Services Manager.
At this point you should be logged in to the Report Administrator and on the Home screen. I had not been able to get this far before.
On the Home screen, click "New Role Assignment"
In "Group or user name", enter the local administrator account you use for development; i.e.: [yourmachine]\[username]
Select all the checkboxes (shortcut is to click the checkbox to the left of "Role") and click OK.
In the upper right hand side of the page, click Site Settings.
On the left side of the page, click Security.
Click "New Role Assignment"
In "Group or user name" enter the same account as in step 10
Check "System Administrator" checkbox and click OK
As a precaution, disable the Administrator account that you enabled in step 4.
Log out, then back in with your local account from step 10.
In IE, browse to the Reporting Services Manager. Note: It was not necessary for me to start IE as Administrator.
At this point you should be able to access Reporting Services Manager page, and configure reporting services further.
Change service account type as "Network Service" in service account tab then stop and start service and run IE as Administrator.
From Reporting Services Configuration Manager you can get to the node Report Manager Url. The URL works from this screen. Now you can use the Folder Settings to add yourself as a Content Manager, etc... Now the url will work for your user.
In IE, just add Add the reporting services website to "Local intranet" sites.
That's it.
Just open IE as Run As Administrator and just type URL as http://localhost/reports

how to access vista system remotely using vb.net?

how to do this manual process in vb.net coding? is it possible or not?
please help me
You can use OpenRemoteBaseKey to access the remote registry but before that you need to impersonate an account with the correct access rights using WindowsIdentity.Impersonate.
The following MSDN link contains a complete sample to login as a different user programmatically:
