Oracle 9i: SYSTEM user is locked. How to unlock it?

Oracle has the concept of locking accounts. When a DBA (or the system) locks the account, no one can use it (even with the valid password) till the DBA (or system) unlocks the account.

New in the Oracle 9i installation for security is a new screen. This screen appears with a list of ALL the usernames (accounts) that come with Oracle. The installation gives you the chance to set new passwords for these accounts (and hence to unlock them). If you do NOTHING, the system leaves these accounts locked so a hacker can't use the default accounts.

The only account you will have access to is the sys account. You'll need to login for example:

sqlplus

Enter user-name: sys/change_on_install as sysdba

Once in you'll need to decide how you want to handle security.

For example:

1) You could just unlock all the accounts.

2) You could set new passwords for the accounts and unlock the accounts

3) You could choose to unlock and change the passwords on some but not all accounts.

Some suggestions on changing the accounts:

1) You could unlock all the accounts leaving the default password:

spool on unlocks.sql
select 'alter user ' || username || ' account unlock;' from dba_users

alter user SYS account unlock;
alter user SYSTEM account unlock;
alter user OUTLN account unlock;
alter user DBSNMP account unlock;
alter user WMSYS account unlock;
alter user ORDSYS account unlock;
alter user ORDPLUGINS account unlock;
alter user MDSYS account unlock;
alter user CTXSYS account unlock;
alter user XDB account unlock;
alter user ANONYMOUS account unlock;
alter user WKSYS account unlock;
alter user WKPROXY account unlock;
alter user ODM account unlock;
alter user ODM_MTR account unlock;
alter user OLAPSYS account unlock;
alter user RMAN account unlock;
alter user HR account unlock;
alter user OE account unlock;
alter user PM account unlock;
alter user SH account unlock;
alter user QS_ADM account unlock;
alter user QS account unlock;
alter user QS_WS account unlock;
alter user QS_ES account unlock;
alter user QS_OS account unlock;
alter user QS_CBADM account unlock;
alter user QS_CB account unlock;
alter user QS_CS account unlock;
alter user SCOTT account unlock;
alter user ERCF account unlock;
alter user PERFSTAT account unlock;
alter user TOAD account unlock;
alter user SAMPLE account unlock;

spool off

NOTE: At this point you can do the command:

host vi unlocks.sql
OR
host notepad unlocks.sql

and modify (e.g. remove unnecessary lines from) the unlocks.sql file. You don't have to do this action as the extra lines won't prevent the sql code from doing what you desire.

@unlocks.sql

2) You could set new passwords and/or unlock the accounts using the same basic concept (see #1).

select 'alter user ' || username || ' identified by new_secret_password account unlock;' from dba_users;

Where new_secret_password is a default "global" password for all account. This has advantages and disadvantages.

The downside is if someone figures out/discovers this global password, your system is open to them.

The upsides are you don't have:

1) Any of the default Oracle passwords in your system.
2) To remember lots of different passwords.

NOTE: You could set a "global" password and then individually change accounts you feel require their own unique passwords.

How to setup HTTPS and SSL on WAMP2

I tested this out with Windows Vista. Hopefully this will help you to those using Vista

Step1 -> Create SSL Certificate and Key

1) Open the DOS command window and change directory to bin directory of wamp apache directory by using the DOS command without quotes:

"cd /d c:\"

and then

"cd wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\bin"

Apache2.2.8 should be changed to what apache folder your wamp server has.

After done, the DOS prompt should look like:

C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\bin>

2) Create a server key with 1024 bits encryption. You should enter this command without quotes:

"openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024"

It'll ask you a pass phrase, just enter anything you want.

3) Remove the pass phrase from the RSA private key (while keeping a backup copy of the original file). Enter this command without quotes:

"copy server.key server.key.org"

and then

"openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key"

It'll ask you the pass phrase, just type anything or same as above.

1d) Create a self-signed Certificate (X509 structure) with the RSA key you just created. Enter the command without quotes:

"openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 365 -key server.key -out server.crt -config C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\conf\openssl.cnf"

You'll fill in the information after entering this command. The correct location of config file, openssl.cnf may need to be changed. In windows, you won't see ".cnf" extension of the file openssl, but in DOS you'll see the full name openssl.cnf (With Windows Vista the extension appear if you turn on the option in the file option).


Step2 -> Copy the server.key and server.crt files.

1) In the conf folder of apache2.2.8 folder, create two folders named as ssl.key and ssl.crt

2) copy the server.key file to ssl.key folder and server.crt file to ssl.crt


Step3 -> Edit the httpd.conf file and php.ini

1) In httpd.conf file, remove the comment ('#') at the line which says:

LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

2) In httpd.conf, remove the comment ('#') at the line which says:
Include conf/extra/httpd_ssl.conf

Then move that line after this block <IfModule ssl_module>.... </ifmodule>

3) open the php.ini file located in C:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.2.8/bin/ folder, remove the comment ';' at the line which says:

extension=php_openssl.dll


Step4 -> Edit the httpd_ssl.conf file in the folder C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\conf\extra

1) Find the line which says "SSLMutex ...." and change it to

"SSLMutex default"

without quotes

2) Find the line which says: <VirtualHost _default_:443>. Right after it, change the line which says

"DocumentRoot ..."
to

DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/" with quotes.

Change the line

"ErrorLog...." to

Errorlog logs/sslerror_log

Change the line

"TransferLog ...." to TransferLog logs/sslaccess_log


3) SSL crt file: Change the line "SSLCertificateFile ...." to SSLCertificateFile "conf/ssl.crt/server.crt"


4) SSL key file: Change the line

"SSLCertificateKeyFile ...."

to

SSLCertificateKeyFile "conf/ssl.key/server.key"


5) Change the line which says <Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/cgi-bin"> or something similar to and add the following lines inside those <directory>...</directory> tags:

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all

6) Make sure the line

CustomLog "logs/ssl_request_log" \

is uncommented (remove the #).


Step5

In the previous DOS Command windows, enter httpd -t . If it displays Sysntax is OK, then

************** go to Step 6. If not, then correct the wrong syntax and redo step 5.


Step6 -> Restart the Apache server


Step7-> if restart is successful, then open the browser and enter "https://localhost" without quotes.



Step8 (Optional) -> If you want to allow world wide web access to your HTTPS secure server, then in the httpd_ssl.conf file, change the line which says

'ServerName localhost:443'

to

'ServerName www.yourwebsitename.com:443'

without quotes. yourwebsitename is your registered internet domain name. If you don't have it, then just use your WAN IP address. For example

'ServerName 99.238.53.105:443'

Make sure these setups are correct to allow outside access to secured www server.

The DocumentRoot you modified in step 4b points to the correct website folder on your
computer.

If your computer's connected to the router, setup the router to allow port 443 forwarding to your
computer.

If your computer has a firewall enabled or behind a network firewall, set up the firewall to allow
incoming port 443 connection.
