KDE kwallet migrationsassistent - passwords

I'm using kwallet for a long time, but the migration assistent annoyes me. It's not new, but today i'm tiered of doing this over and over again. Everytime i log in to my debian system (with kde5), i have to enter at least:
the "migration assistant" asking for the wallet password
kwallet manager asking for the wallet's password
the "migration assistant" asking for my old wallet's password
kwallet manager asking for my old wallet's password
password for my gpg key
I hope i don't miss one.
How can i consolidate this to enter a password just once?

From KDE4 to KDE5 the path to configuration files has changed from $HOME/.kde to $HOME/.local.
So the wallet migration assistant should have created a copy of your passwords in $HOME/.local/share/kwalletd. But as long as the old wallet exists at $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/kwallet, the migration assistant keeps checking.
Since I removed the wallet in KDE4 configuration, the migration assistant keeps quiet.
Before removing the old wallet, I would
check that a wallet in the KDE5 configuration exists
export both wallets and compare the content
make sure to have a backup of the wallets

How to reset the ilo5 factory generated password using API ? or ilorest Tool from remote machine?

I have multiple HPE gen10 Server which has ILO5 license.
Now I want to manage the server from remote system using API or HP ilorest Tool, but to authenticate it require password of user administrator & it comes as tag on the server and its very tedious task to note down the password & reset if you have 100 to 200 servers.
Does anyone know how I can reset the password without having old one? from remote system.
Thanks
There is no method available to reset the password...but you can ask HPE to set the password as per your requirement during the purchase of order.

How to re-download Vault Credentials

One of my backups has failed because seemingly the pass phase is corrupted.
I am attempting to re-register the server (I do not know if this will fix the problem but I do know that in this process the pass phrase is entered) and so need to re-download the Vault Credentials.
In the old Azure portal the download of the Vault Credentials link was right there as soon as you went to the particular vault.
In the new Azure portal I cannot find it anywhere. I have looked and looked and Googled and Googled.
I get the feeling that one has to start the whole backup setup again for the server in order to get the credentials via Getting Started > Backup.
So I am in vault that the server backs up to and I go to Getting Started > Backup and follow the steps and then I end up with a list of servers that I need to choose from but my server is not there because it says "VMs in same region as vault and not protected by another vault are shown....".
Anyway I am stuck.
Path to download the vault credential file: Home>Recovery Services vaults>Select your recovery services vault>Properties>Backup credentials
See the screenshot:
OK I fixed my problem but I did not resolve the "How to re-download Vault Credentials".
In the Azure Backup app on the server I went to Actions > Change Properties and re-entered the pass phrase and tried to save it.
I got a message that nothing was saved because the pass phrase had not changed.
So how the heck did it know that if my initial problem was that the pass phrase was corrupted???
I chanced my luck and tried a "Backup Now" and lo and behold it worked.
GO FIGURE AND THANK YOU TEAM AT MS FOR YET ANOTHER CONUNDRUM I HAD TO SOLVE WITH SMOKE AND MIRRORS.

How to reset locked user in SAP ITS server?

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.
