Login on Central Management Console (Business Objects) edge edition - business-objects

What's the default username and password for SAP BO CMC and BI Launch pad? I installed the trial version of SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4 edge edition. While installation it didn't ask for this credential to set.

The user name for the administrator account is simply administrator. BI4 and previous versions always asked to provide a password during the installation, although you could leave it black in previous version. So you should have specified a password while installing (twice even, for verification purposes).
Just to be on the safe side: if you're unable to log on, always make sure that you've selected Enterprise` as type of authentication.
If you cannot remember the password, you can reset it, which involves direct manipulation of the CMS repository database. Have a look at SAP note 1679970 - How to reset the Administrator password in Business Intelligence Platform 4.0 which describes the steps involved (you'll need a support account to view the note).

user name is by default : Administrator.
Setup always asks you the password during installation so if you forgot the password than please contact sap support they are very supportive, They will handle your problems.
But if you have performed silent installation than go to config file which is being used for installation and check the string which is against the CMS Password tag .: That will be your password for central management server (CMS).

Why doesn't my Gmail user/password work when deploying ASP.NET to Compute Engine inside Visual Studio?

I created a Compute Engine VM using the ASP.NET Cloud Launcher, and now I want to deploy to it from Visual Studio.
I've created a publish settings file using the Visual Studio extension then tried to deploy using the regular Visual Studio "Publish" command. The settings didn't contain a user name and password, so I used my Gmail/Google credentials - this is a Compute Engine instance that my account has access to, after all:
This failed with the following error:
Web deployment task failed. (Connected to the remote computer
("(redacted)") using the Web Management Service, but could not
authorize. Make sure that you are using the correct user name and
password, that the site you are connecting to exists, and that the
credentials represent a user who has permissions to access the site.
Learn more at:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_USER_UNAUTHORIZED.)
If that's not the user name and password to use, what is?
The Compute Engine instance doesn't know about your Google user at all - it only knows about regular Windows accounts, and you don't have a Windows account on it. So, you need to create a Windows account on the instance, and then put that into the publish settings.
In the Google Cloud Explorer, select the instance and choose "Create or Reset Password":
You can then choose whatever username you like - I'd suggest "aspnet" for simplicity, for example. Note that this username is a normal Windows account on the machine - it's not specific to your Google user. If you're sharing this machine with others for development, you should agree on a set of account names, either securely sharing credentials for a single account, or creating a separate account per developer. You don't want to reset the password for an account a colleague is using!
This account can also be used to open a Terminal Server session with the Compute Engine instance.
Wait until the user has been created with a password, then copy the password:
You can now put that into your Publish Settings and let Visual Studio save the password - and keep a copy in a separate secure location, should you wish, of course.

Extracting couchbase password for community edition 3.0

I'm following the instructions from https://stackoverflow.com/a/16183654/1682047 to get the default password for the web administration interface for Couchbase community edition 3.0 on Mac OSX.
The output I'm getting is:
{"Administrator",
{password,
{<<238,136,67,75,141,237,40,59,33,177,155,180,223,187,81,66>>,
<<192,248,28,234,200,221,64,180,227,97,224,218,72,185,178,209,10,
35,227,195>>}}}]},
How do I interpret this?
Alternatively is the default password listed somewhere (doesn't show up when googling)? Links to couchbase forums from Google also seem to be broken.
The default account details are:
User: Administrator
Password: password
You can also use the cbreset_password tool to change forgotten passwords.
Oops, this was due to me having a data directory around from a previous install. To fix this I just deleted the existing directory at /Users/your_user_name/Library/Application Support/Couchbase.

User '%' does not have required permissions, SSRS 2012 on Windows 7

After a fresh install of SQL Server 2012 Developer on my Windows 7 machine, I configure SSRS. Then, in IE (version 11), I try to access the SSRS server at http://(servername)/Reports. Windows asks for my username and password. Odd, because I'm an administrator. So I enter my username and password and I get this reply:
User '' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
Researching the issue, I come across a number of answers, including:
Reporting Services permissions on SQL Server R2 SSRS
SSRS 2008: User Does Not Have Required Permissions
The answers to these questions are similar:
Run IE as an administrator
Add the SSRS URL to Trusted Sites in Security tab of Internet Options
Retry SSRS URL
On success, add your user to Site Settings and Folder Settings with the appropriate permissions.
You should then be able to access SSRS without running IE as administrator
Additional workarounds include disabling UAC and repeating the steps above.
Running IE as an administrator did not work. At step 3. I got the same response as above and was never able to get to the SSRS home page.
Before disabling UAC, are there any other workarounds?
The workaround I found is from Peter O’Gorman's blog entry.
The steps above are the same, except add the URL to Local Intranet, not Trusted Sites:
Run IE as an administrator
Add the SSRS URL to Local Intranet in Security tab of Internet Options
Retry SSRS URL
On success, add your user to Site Settings and Folder Settings with the appropriate permissions.
You should then be able to access SSRS without running IE as administrator
To my pleasant surprise, this worked like a charm. Thanks Peter!
Run IE as an administrator - not Chrome. I swear I tried this before with no joy.
I don't understand why not Chrome and why administrator. Maybe Chrome somehow dismisses the elevated permissions. How does the rsManager know at what level the browser is running anyway?

Same steps as Glenn mentioned previously. I also had to add user to role in two different spots once I was able to access SQL Server Reporting Services - Home. In Folder setting -> security -> new role assignment and site settings -> security -> new role assignment. I added my user as well.
http://techasp.blogspot.com/2013/06/how-to-fix-reporting-services.html
This works for Reporting Services 2008 onwards
This one has been bugging me for a while, some users have access to the report server others get this error message. While trying to resolve it with a system administrator I came across this post from microsoft support
For users to navigate to a particular folder, they must have Browser role on
all folders starting at the root folder (the folder named "/" in the
item path or "Home" in Report Manager). So you will need to grant
those permissions explicitly. By default, permissions are inherited
from the parent folder. If there are any breaks in the inheritance,
you will need to set those permission explicitly.
What we did as a administrator users, was to navigate to Reports page, then folder settings and grant the user that does not have permissions Browser rights to the folder. Use could then navigate to the home page and work their way down the tree. the sys admin hadn't granted access to the user at the home level just on the folders and reports that have access to.

How to enable Windows Authentication for DNN

Sorry my question might be duplicate but i dint find any correct solution.So im posting this question again...
First i have deployed a DNN website with sql server authentication.Site was working fine.
Later we re installed the sql server 2008. So im trying to give windows authentication to connect the site.
In web config connectionstring:i have removed the username and password and gave Integrated security="true" .
In IIS :Site -> Authentication -> windows Authentication ->enabled and all others disabled.
once i browse the site is redirecting to DNN install Wizard
Need Help.
In SQL Server did you configure the Windows account that the application pool (in IIS) is using to have DBOwner access to the database?
Also make sure to change BOTH connection strings in the database.
Depending on what version of IIS you are on, that account might differ. Older versions likely would use "Network Service" while newer versions might also use "Network Service" or an application pool specific account like "iis apppool\dnndev"
You'll also want to make sure that you aren't trying to assign a DOMAIN account to the database, unless of course that is what IIS is configured to use (as opposed to a local account)

User rights needed for IIS 7.5 application pool user (domain user, not the AppPoolIdentity)

We have an active directory domain (let's call it foodomain) and a domain user account (foodomain\fooAppPoolUser) used for the IIS application pool identity.
We want to run the app pool under this user account and not under Network Service or the new AppPoolIdentity as we have to access SQL server and have multiple applications on IIS (with own app pools) accessing different databases.
The problem is that I can't find a clear HOW-TO explaining, which user rights have to be set for this user account and how IIS has to be setup so that this will work.
First I got errors (unfortunately I can't remember which ones), then I added fooAppPoolUser to the local admin group (Administrators, I know, was only to test), then it worked. Now I removed the user again, restarted IIS and it still works.
So I'm confused a bit and would like to know, how the configuration/setup has to be to have it working.
Somwhere I read, that the account needs to have the "Impersonate a client after authentication" user right. That's the reason I added the account to the Admin group (the user rights assignment is blocked via group policy, but this can for sure be changed if really needed.
I hope I was clear enough what the question is and hope somebody has an answer.
It's frustrating that this information is so hard to find, since some security admins seem to enjoy the cruel and unusual punishment of changing default policy settings to thwart installing apps within IIS.
Here's what I believe you should do to enable an account to work as an ApplicationPool identity:
Run aspnet_regiis -ga DOMAIN\USER to add permissions to access the IIS Metabase. (Exactly what that means, who knows?) aspnet_regiis reference
Add the user to the IIS_IUSRS group. This may be done automatically depending on the IIS configuration setting processmodel.manualGroupMembership but easiest to add it yourself.
If security policy is using windows defaults that's about it. If the security policy is locked down you may need to enable specific user rights for the account. The ones you have by default for ApplicationPoolIdentities (which seems a good place to start but not necessarily all required):
Access this computer from the network
Adjust memory quotas for a process
Allow log on locally
Bypass traverse checking
Generate security audit details
Impersonate a client after authentication - (Often not available by default on locked-down environments)
Log on as a batch job - (Often not available by default on locked-down environments)
Log on as a service - (I'm not sure this is needed)
Replace a process level token
If you're using windows auth and Kerberos (provider=Negotiate) then depending on the URL and if kernel-mode auth is on you might need to set up an SPN. I suggest switching to NTLM if possible. Otherwise, see articles below about SPNs and find a friendly domain admin to add them for you.
Fun reading:
Default permissions and user rights for IIS 7.0, 7.5, 8.0. This is the best reference, see the user rights at the bottom.
User Rights (on Windows Server 2008, but still interesting and helpful as it's a long article you can CTRL+F to find IIS-related comments)
User Rights Assignment on Server 2008 R2+. You have to drill into each right to see what it mentions about IIS.
How To: Create a Service Account for an ASP.NET 2.0 Application - pity there's no more recent version of this article.
SPN Checklist for Kerberos on IIS7/7.5
How to use SPNs - applies to IIS6 or to 7/8 if Kernel-mode authentication is turned off.
The reason why you application worked AFTER removing Administrator rights is that your application was compiled to the Framework temp folder using the administrator rights - Your application worked after removing the administrator rights because the application was compiled. If you update your application and it requires recompilation, the app pool account will need trusts again.
First I got errors (unfortunately I can't remember which ones), then
I added fooAppPoolUser to the local admin group (Administrators, I
know, was only to test), then it worked. Now I removed the user again,
restarted IIS and it still works.
I found the following link answered a similar question I had: http://www.iis.net/learn/manage/configuring-security/application-pool-identities
Basically, ApplicationPoolIdentity is a virtual user account that still behaves like NETWORK SERVICE, but without some of the down-sides; each app pool has it's very own ApplicationPoolIdenity account created with it.
More detailed information can also be found that is also specific to IIS 7.5 Application Pool Identities.
