  Hello

  I have been using OEM for the monitoring of the database. Recently, I've seen more error on screen

  java.lang.Exception: ORA-01017: name of user and password invalid. connection refused - wait_bottlenecks

  So I reset password with the same value to reopen. I still get this error.

  
  

  When I try to sign in with the same password in sqlplus, I get same error also.

  ERROR:

  I don't know why I'm not able to login with the same password I used to change the statement.

  
  

  Thanks for the help in advance.
  

  Let's not your syntax.

  When you say 'identified by values' you tell Oracle 'this is not the password, but it is a salted and hashed password.

  Do not use 'values '.

  Technically,-is not a password valid, so I'll use it valid to demonstrate:

  In 12.1.0.2, it will not allow you to use '-' because this isn't a valid hash value, so I can't prove that it works, but you get the idea

  Don't set the sh123456 password.  It defines the hash to sh123456.  The password is something else.

  Try to connect to the database via SQLPlus target using the tnsnames.ora entry: sqlplus bob@remote.

  If the target db is 11g, then breaking the password may be the matter. Try placiing the password in quotes when you create the database link.

• I can't connect to certain things (connection refused error)

  Hello

  recently I am experiencing an error where my mac does not connect to certain things, to make an example and explain

  -I can't open the web page of google

  -I can't open another page Web (connection refused error)

  -I can't open steam but downloads don't work and so used to the store

  I had this problem once before, but a call for assistance from apple and everything worked again.

  I would like to know what causes this problem and how to solve this problem, so I can't call assistance all the time

  Thank you

  You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. Please back up all data, and then take the steps below to disable it.

  Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

  Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

  Step 1

  VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. It regenerates itself also if you try to remove it when it is run. To remove it, you must first start in safe mode temporarily disable the malware.

  Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for other instructions.

  Step 2

  When running in safe mode, load the web page and then triple - click on the line below to select. Copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

  /Library/LaunchDaemons

  In the Finder, select

  Go ▹ go to the folder...

  from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  A folder named "LaunchDaemons" can open. If this is the case, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

  There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. Please don't skip this step. Files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change for a few minutes, then they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.

  Step 3

  In the LaunchDaemons folder, there may be one or more files with the name of this form:

  com Apple.something.plist

  When something is a random string, without the letters, different in each case.

  Note that the name consists of four words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

  com Apple.builins.plist

  com Apple.cereng.plist

  com Apple.nysgar.plist

  There may be one or more items with a name of the form:

  com.something.plist

  Yet once something is a random string, without meaning - not necessarily the same as that which appears in one of the other file names.

  These names consist of three words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

  com.semifasciaUpd.plist

  com.ubuiling.plist

  Drag all items in the basket. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

  Restart the computer and empty the trash.

  Examples of legitimate files located in the same folder:

  com.apple.FinalCutServer.fcsvr_ldsd.plist

  com Apple.Installer.osmessagetracing.plist

  com Apple.Qmaster.qmasterd.plist

  com Apple.aelwriter.plist

  com Apple.SERVERD.plist

  The first three are clearly not VSearch files because the names match either of the above models. The last two are not easy to distinguish by the name alone, but the modification date will be earlier than the date at which VSearch has been installed, perhaps several years. None of these legitimate files will be present in most installations of Mac OS X.

  Do not delete the folder 'LaunchDaemons' or anything else inside, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. The file is a normal part of Mac OS X. The "demon" refers to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.

  If you are not sure whether a file is part of the malware, order the contents of the folder by date modified I wrote in step 2, no name. Malicious files will be grouped together. There could be more than one such group, if you attacked more than once. A file dated far in the past is not part of the malware. A folder in date dated Middle an obviously malicious cluster is almost certainly too malicious.

  If the files come back after you remove the, they are replaced by others with similar names, then either you didn't start in safe mode or you do not have all the. Return to step 1 and try again.

  Step 4

  Reset the home page in each of your browsers, if it has been modified. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select

  ▹ Safari preferences... ▹ General

  and click on

  Set on the current Page

  If you use Firefox or Chrome web browser, remove the extensions or add-ons that you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them.

  The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. A few small files will be left behind, but they have no effect, and trying to find all them is more trouble that it's worth.

  Step 5

  The malware lets the web proxy discovery in the network settings. If you know that the setting was already enabled for a reason, skip this step. Otherwise, you should undo the change.

  Open the network pane in system preferences. If there is a padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window, click it and authenticate to unlock the settings. Click the Advanced button, and then select Proxies in the sheet that drops down. Uncheck that Auto Discovery Proxy if it is checked. Click OK, and then apply.

  Step 6

  This step is optional. Open the users and groups in the system preferences and click on the lock icon to unlock the settings. In the list of users, there may be some with random names that have been added by the malware. You can remove these users. If you are not sure whether a user is legitimate, do not delete it.

• ERR connection refused for Chrome, Safari, Firefox (most Web sites)

  Hi all

  I am facing a serious problem of internet browser. Yesterday, I suddenly found a Web site connection problem with my MACBook Pro. Specifically, with all browsers such as Chrome, Safari and Firefox, I can't access most websites except Gmail, Youtube, Facebook, etc. All other sites gave an error "Err Connection refused". Surprisingly, I can connect to each Web site with other devices (Ipad, my phone) under this same wifi network... That my MAC did not work properly.

  Then I saw that it had some malware called power helperbar appeared on my site Web whenever I try to re - open my browser. Then, I used all that are available online to get rid of it... Right now, it doesn't seem anymore, but I still can't access most Web sites...

  I checked (I also changed to google DNS 8.8.8.8) DNS, IP, etc, and everything seems normal... At the end of the day, I reinstalled my Macbook system but the problem persists... I have really no more that I can do to fix personally.

  I ask the help of the community?

  Thank you very much

  Best regards

  You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. Please back up all data, and then take the steps below to disable it.

  Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

  Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

  VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming model.

  1 triple - click on the line below on this page to select, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

  /Library/LaunchDaemons

  In the Finder, select

  Go ▹ go to the folder...

  from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  A folder named "LaunchDaemons" can open. If this is the case, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

  There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. Please don't skip this step. The files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change within about a minute, so they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.

  Search in the folder with the name of all these forms:

  com.something.daemon.plist

  com.something.Helper.plist

  com.something .net - preferences.plist

  Here, something is a string, which may be different in each instance of VSearch random meaningless. So far it has always been an alphanumeric string without punctuation signs, such as "disbalance" or "thunderbearer."

  You may have more than one copy of the malware, with different values of something.

  There may be one or more files with the name of this form:

  com.somethingelseUpd.plist

  where George can be an empty string of sense that something different. Yet once, there may be more than one file of this type, with different values of Gisele.

  Here is a typical example of an infection VSearch:

  com.disbalance .net - preferences.plist

  com.thunderbearerUpd.plist

  You will have files with similar names, but probably not identical to these.

  If you feel confident that you have identified the files above, drag only the files - nothing - to the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password. Close the Finder window.

  2. open this folder as in step 1:

  /Library/LaunchAgents

  Move to the trash all the files with the name of the form

  com.something.agent.plist

  where something is one of the strings that you found in step 1. There may be not all of these files.

  3. If you have whatever it is moved to the trash in step 1 and step 2, restart the computer and empty the trash.

  Do not remove the folder 'LaunchAgents' or "LaunchDaemons", or anything else inside of one or the other, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. Records are a normal part of Mac OS X. The terms "agent" and "demon" is a reference to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.

  4 reset the home page in each of your browsers, if it has been modified. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select

  ▹ Safari preferences... ▹ General

  and click on

  Set on the current Page

  The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. A few small files will be left behind, but they have no effect, and trying to find all them is more trouble that it's worth.

  5. If you do not find the files or you are not sure about the identification, after what you have found.

  If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.

  6. the penalty may have started when you have downloaded and run an application called 'MPlayerX' or "PDF Pronto." If there is an element with a name in the Applications folder, delete it.

  This Trojan horse is often found on the illegal Web sites that traffic in content such as movies pirated. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit these Web sites and follow the instructions to install the software, you can expect more of the same and worse, to follow. Never install software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or which has been downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.

  In the aspect of security & confidentiality of system preferences, select the general tab. The marked anywhere radio button should not be selected. If this is the case, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, and then select an other keys. After that, do not ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown Director.

  Then, still in system preferences, open the pane of the App Store or software update and check the box marked

  Install the system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later version)

  or

  Automatically download the updates (OS X 10.9 or earlier version)

  If it is not already done.

• Subversion addon - connection refused

  Hi all

  ReadyNAS ultra 2

  I installed the addon from rnxtras subversion. Now when I try to the Fund I get connection refused. Here are the steps I followed:

  On the readnas:

  NetgearNAS: / opt # svnadmin create/opt/subversion/SVNTest
  NetgearNAS: / # chown admin:admin/opt/subversion r opt / *.

  On my local machine:

  ~ > svn checkout svn://192.168.1.100/SVNTest
  svn: E000111: unable to connect to a repository to the URL "svn://192.168.1.100/SVNTest".
  "svn: E000111: could not connect to host" 192.168.1.100 ": connection refused

  I have installed EnableRootSSH.

  Any ideas how I can make it work?

  Sorry for the late reply, still getting used to the new "forums".

  In fact, you were already close. You have successfully created the SVN repo but the correct command to the Fund a repo of the ReadyNAS would

  svn checkout https://192.168.1.100/svn/SVNTest

  Two things to note here: to access the Board, use the HTTP or HTTPS protocol, not SVN. And the path to the pension you habe to prefix name of the repo with "/svn/".

  When you press the ReadyNAS changes you will have to authenticate using a username/password combination valid, as defined on the ReadyNAS.

• Connection to the machine to ESX4 Wizard fails with "connection refused".

  Environment: ESX 4 server, hosting VMware Studio 2.0 (final version), will deploy device created in the same ESX host.

  -

  In my profile generation, generation settings section, I chose VMware ESX/ESXi 4.x and entered the Connection Wizard...

  Host, Port, user, password fields are filled.

  Connection test fails with the following message is displayed:

  Failed: error connecting to the server " " https://x.x.x.x:443/sdk/vimService ': connection refused

  My initial inspection is that it is probably caused by the server proxy/ISA on our network. It is know to cause some problems with https connections and some browsers. I am not sure that it is the first cause, but this is my first guess.* *.

  There are balls that can confirm?

  Is it possible to force a non-secure http connection?

  No, it's not a way to connect by using http.

  Try the following:

  stop /etc/init.d/VAMI-SFCB

  http_proxy = / opt/vmware/sbin/vami-sfcbdhttp://your_proxy:proxy_port;

  Now, try the user interface.

• java.rmi.ConnectException: connection refused to host: Connection timed out

  OK, I get the dreaded java.rmi.ConnectException: connection refused to host: Connection timed out
  
  I've been Googling for solutions for a while and no success, although many people have been in this boat before.
  
  java.rmi.ConnectException: connection refused to host: 169.254.105.9; nested exception is:
  java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect
  
  I ping the server from the client. I can telnet to the 169.254.105.9 1099 very well. I have disabled all firewall, I think - although company policy is we have to run McAfee and seems to have no control over that. When I run the client and server on the same system using localhost everything works fine.
  
  Can anyone think of other things I could try to understand why my RMI does not connect? Are there diagnoses more I can try?
  
  Cheers, Eric

  System.setProperty call ("java.rmi.server.hostname", "150.247.94.130");

  has no effect. I call it on the side of the client and the server before making any calls to the RMI API. I always get

  Set it on the server only. That's what it's for. It touches what IP address is placed in the heel when exporting. If you need to call it before you build/export all remote objects, and that probably includes the registry.

• Siebel 8.1 and OPA 10.3.1: error 'WD Smoke Test' - 'Connection Refused '.

  Hello!
  
  I'm setting up Siebel 8.1.1.5 with OPA 10.3.1. All the Windows environment, Oracle database backend and use Apache Tomcat 5.0 to run any OPA.
  
  Followed the instructions through and with the Web Service tweak outbound and two symbolic URLS to specify correct host Apache and port, some things work.
  
  However, when I hit the 'WD Smoke Test' button I get an error in the window for the determination of the sea which opens:
  
  An error occurred when loading the case ID ', SADMIN, 0-1, AdminSmokeTest'.
  This error has been recorded and is available in the application logs.
  
  No error is reported in the journal on the Siebel EAI server file, but I see the following on the Tomcat server:
  
  874517 [http-8080-1] ERROR com.oracle.determinations.web.platform.controller.actions.StartSessionAction - errors in result of Transaction for case ID [, SADMIN, 0-1, AdminSmokeTest]:
  874517 [http-8080-1] ERROR com.oracle.determinations.web.platform.controller.actions.StartSessionAction - failed to load data: java.net.ConnectException: connection refused: connect
  874517 [http-8080-1] ERROR com.oracle.determinations.web.platform.servlet.WebDeterminationsServletUtility - com.oracle.determinations.web.platform.exceptions.error.FailedToLoadCaseError: could not load case:, SADMIN, 0-1, AdminSmokeTest
  com.oracle.determinations.web.platform.exceptions.error.FailedToLoadCaseError: could not load case:, SADMIN, 0-1, AdminSmokeTest
  
  I checked:
  
  -The EAI URL .properties for siebel-WD-embedded and siebel-web-determinations, all worked very well for the OPA server host
  -J' have also checked and checked the values of username and password in both .properties files
  -The definitions of Web Service starting, only change the host and port
  -The symbolic URL, by changing only the host and port
  -The rest was implemented using business 'policy of automation Install '.
  -The 'DS' smoke tests will work perfectly
  -The button "Launch WD" works very well 'Sessions' view, after selecting the map of "AdminSmokeTest".
  
  Any thoughts where to start?
  
  Thank you!

  I am officially a doughnut - I went back to check and I had not updated the siebel data - adapt .properties for the siebel-web-determination purposes. DOH!

  Everything works now - excellent! :)

• FTP connection refused with FTP client to open the port in the firewall ESX

  Hello.

  I just installed an esx 3.5 U4.    We have an FTP server where we all night to make a copy of all our VM.

  This ESX may not put the files in the FTP server... I open the FTP client port on the 'profile terms' - & gt; Firewall tab without problems and

  I can connect with the FTP server... but... I can't do a LS for example, can I change to a different folder, I try with passive mode works... but

  It does not work.

  FTP server works well because other ESX work with her, and I do my windows XP with the same user/pass login and it works...

  Any idea?

  Thank you very much

  Looks like the second TCP connection for file transfer (which is also used in the list of directories) from the client FTP on the server fell. Have you tried completely disabling the firewall with esxcfg-firewall - allowOutgoing (can try esxcfg-firewall - allowIncoming, although it should not be necessary in the passive FTP mode)? This command sets the iptables chains of ENTRY and EXIT to accept instead of the fall.

  I tried esxcfg-firewall - e ftpClient and it worked fine for me.

  You could also post your esxcfg-firewall OUTPUT string parameters - q.
