Remote admin of glassfish does not work

I have a server on remote where i am logged by ssh. I have unzip it the glassfish v 3.1.2 and follow the steps http://bbissett.blogspot.com.es/2012/01/asadmin-with-remote-glassfish.html until the part where enters in the link of admin(port 4848) There I am redirect by the browser to the web where the login loader (ip-glassfish-installed:4848) starts spinning and nothing happens.
The log I got in the server is "User [] from host localhost does not have administration access|#]" But I have changed the admin password and login with it. So I dont understand in first instance why I got the user empty. Also, although I think is not related, says that the certificate has expired.

You need to enable remote adminstration. Here are couple of other useful links that provide help in that direction:
http://www.adam-bien.com/roller/abien/entry/enabling_remote_administration_for_glassfish
https://blogs.oracle.com/quinn/entry/securing_adminstration_in_glassfish_server1

The problem is that the user I logged in the remote machine by ssh did not have the right permission to execute the domain, even after doing "sudo su". If I enter in the remote machine with the root user everything works fine, or using "sudo su -" after login with the normal user.

jdbc.SQLServerException: Login failed for user for any user

I trying to test the connection with my local sql DB. I have this code:
try{
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver").newInstance();
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=SocialFamilyTree;user=SOSCOMP");
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Couldn't get database connection.");
e.printStackTrace();
}
I tried many users. my windows user is SOSCOMP and doesn't have a password. I also know that SQL 2008 create users as "sys" "dbo", I tried these too. I'm always getting:
Couldn't get database connection.
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Login failed for user 'SOSCOMP'.

Thanks

If you try to connect with database which is using windows authentication, you can use 'integratedSecurity' option in your connection string.
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=SocialFamilyTree;integratedSecurity=true;");

Having been through this very recently the steps I took to solve pretty much the same problem were
use SQL Server Management Studio to log in with the desired account and confirm access to read (and write if necessary)
Use SQL Server Configuration Manager to confirm that the server instance is listening on the IP address being targetted
Disable the firewall to check that isn't getting in the way (and add an exception if necessary for future use)
The absolute kicker for me was understanding what IP addresses and ports the instance was set to listen on so that when I constructed the connection string the connection wasn't being rejected.
Also, if you want to connect using Windows logins you need to ensure the SQL instance is configured for mixed mode authentication (i.e. to allow Windows and SQL logins)

Since you get this error,the Sql server correctly listens to the port.
Open Sql Server Management Studio connect to your Server.
right click on the server's icon and choose properties.
Go to the security tab and tick Sql Server and Windows
Authentication mode.
If you want to define a user,go from the tree, to Security->Logins,right click on logins folder and click "New Login".
Now your server should work with this Url String.
Use the log file of the Server that may help you understand its working.

Re: Did it. still WARNING: Failed to load the sqljdbc_auth.dll cause :- no sqljdbc_auth in java.library.path – Mike Oct 7 at 14:03
you have to add the path to sqljdbc_auth.dll by adding this under VM arguments in Eclipse or commandline if you're running from the shell:
-Djava.library.path="\MS SQL Server JDBC Driver 3.0\sqljdbc_3.0\enu\auth\x86"
that's if you're running 32 bit Windows. else the final subdir changes accordingly.
I think this might be a better answer though, to setting up SQL Server user based authentication:
Connecting SQL Server 2008 to Java: Login failed for user error
(I try to summarize it here: http://silveira.wikidot.com/sql-server)

I also faced the same issue, In my case the following things are configured wrongly
Two SQL (versions) servers are running in my system --> Sol: Please check ourselves which server we are pointing.
Ports are configured as dynamic --> Sol: we should set port 1433 and dynamic port should be 0, if we are connected to specific port.
While creating the new login (user) I have selected the option " change password after first login "--> Sol: we should not select this option while creating the new login, if we are trying connecting from some other service like Openfire.

Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)

Hi I'm working on a Liferay portlet that accesses the database using JPA. I'm using Tomcat 7 and MySQL.
This portlet works fine in my machine but when I move the portlet to a test environment in another server and try to use it in the test portal I get the following error:
Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
The database connection database in my persistence.xml is ok.
I tried putting wrong connection data in the persistence.xml to see if the error changed but it didn't. For example I set the user as "wronguser" and when I deployed the portlet and tried to use it again I got exactly the same error:
Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
Even if I change the database name or URL the error is always the same. It's like something is not getting updated. I tried deleting the Tomcat temp folder but didn't help.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

"wronguser" and when I deployed the portlet and tried to use it again
I got exactly the same error:
This just shows that the username/password given to mysql at the end is not coming from your configuration file as expected, but from to-be-identified-elsewhere.
Until you see mysql complaining about "wronguser" not being able to connect, this is the first roadblock to clear, and the problem is most likely in the application setup, not in mysql.
Should the mysql server complain later about privileges for "wronguser", then sure, the area to investigate then will be grants for this user, but you need to convey the proper user/host/password information to the server first.

NTLM Authentication - is it simply a prompt(challenge), or does it actually authenticate?

I have a (java) web-application, and i have enabled NTLM Authentication.
When the logon prompt is presented by the browser in our (windows) intranet environment.
The behavior i see is:
NTLM prompt does not seem to be doing any authentication at all, i am able to type any random string in userid prompt and it allows the user to proceed into the application. The prompt never fails the user.
So, what do i need to check at the server end to find if authentication succeeded or not?

The idea behind NTLM auth is that the logged on user can proceed with connection without explicitly entering his username and password again. So whatever your application asks you is irrelevant (as you can see it yourself) and instead your system credentials are used.

NTLM authentication has been broken for a number of years -- NTLM 2 shipped with NT 4, so hopefully people have moved on by now. If you want to use Active Directory login information, you should use Kerberos instead.

Oracle ODI / Java - Active Directory connection trouble

I want Oracle Data Integrator 10.1.3 to be able to connect to Active Directory running on a Windows 2003.
I'm using SnpsLdapDriver but so far I'm dead unable to make it work.
I keep getting error 52e : Insufficient Credentials. I tried every possible possible way I could - locking my account numerous times- and just nothing but errors.
jdbc:snps:ldap?ldap_url=ldap://128.1.1.121:389/DC=mydc,DC=int??base?(objectClass=*)&ldap_password='encrypted_password_through_snpsldapo.jar'
I tried everything I could find on google....
HELP ????
TIA

52e is the LDAP error code indicating either an invalid user principal or invalid user password.
