Different Permissions in Apache Shiro for every User? - database

I built a database with the entity user and permission
user (id, email, password, permission)
permission (id, create_user, delete_user, user_fk)
create_user and delete_user is BOOLEAN.
Relationship: One-One
Now every user can have it's own permissions.
My question is: How can I use shiro to read the permissions from the database?

If you really only wish to assign permissions on user level, you can "fake" the roles table to make Shiro happy.
As Wouter mentioned, use the JdbcRealm and specify the 3 queries for your table setup.
You should modify your permission table to have this structure:
permission (id, permissionname, user_fk)
Then you insert rows for the create_user/delete_user rights as needed.
This way it's very simple to add another permission (reset_password for example) to your setup, without the need to modify the db schema.
In the shiro.ini (or how you call the your shiro config file):
jdbcRealm = org.apache.shiro.realm.jdbc.JdbcRealm
For the queries use then this:
jdbcRealm.authenticationQuery = select password from user where email=?
jdbcRealm.userRolesQuery = select id from user where email=?
jdbcRealm.authenticationQuery = select permissionname from permission where user_fk=?
The small trick in your setup is: you don't have roles at all, so we just return the id of the user as the role name.
When the lookup in the permission table is done, it then uses the role name (=user pk) and returns the associated permissions.

You should configure a JdbcReam in your .ini file:
jdbcRealm=org.apache.shiro.realm.jdbc.JdbcRealm
If you change your schema to adhere to the shiro queries, no extra config is needed. You need tables users, user_roles and roles_permissions.
See the source code how the exact column names should be:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/shiro/trunk/core/src/main/java/org/apache/shiro/realm/jdbc/JdbcRealm.java
Alternatively you can configure your own queries to match your schema in the .ini file like so:
jdbcRealm.authenticationQuery=<your password select statement>
jdbcRealm.userRolesQuery=<your role names for username select statement>
jdbcRealm.authenticationQuery=<your permissions for role name select statement>

How to access IBM DB2 warehouse on cloud as administrator

I'm currently using a free DB2 warehouse on cloud provided by IBM. What I'm trying to do is to create a new table in the database. However, an error message pops up saying that
To resolve this, I open the web console and run the following command: create tablespace mytablespace pagesize 4096. Then, another error message pops up:
Based on what I have googled, it looks like I need to grant administrator role for the user "DASH******". So I do this by adding an optional parameter to the credentials:
But it doesn't work. Is there any way to workaround this?
EDIT1: I create the table using the following command:
Users are not allowed to create their own tablespaces in free DB2WoC systems, since they don't have the SYSCTRL or SYSADM authorities there. You have to use existing tablespaces where you are allowed to create your tables.
Run the following statement from your DASH*** user.
This statement returns all the tablespaces, where your user is allowed to create tables.
If it doesn't return any rows, then this means, that you should open a ticket to the IBM support. Support should create it for you and grant your user the USE privilege on this tablespace.

Require old password when setting a new password to a specific user in Oracle

Does Oracle 12 support having the old password required when changing a password to a specific user?
What I would like:
ALTER USER user_a IDENTIFIED BY secret123;
-- ERROR, missing old password
ALTER USER user_a IDENTIFIED BY secret456 REPLACE secret123;
-- OK
ALTER USER user_b IDENTIFIED BY secret789;
-- OK, since user_b does not require old password when changing it
Thanks!
Yes, this is supported since Oracle 9i, when a function was introduced that checks a new password for complexity and optionally for difference to the old password. As Oracle stores only hashes, not the passwords, it cannot compare old and new passwords unless the user supplies it during the change.
So, all users with a PROFILE where the PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION is set are required to have the old password, even if this function doesn't check any passwords:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION always_true (
username VARCHAR2,
password VARCHAR2,
old_password VARCHAR2) RETURN boolean IS
BEGIN
RETURN TRUE;
END always_true;
/
CREATE PROFILE always_true
LIMIT PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION always_true;
CREATE USER user_a IDENTIFIED BY secret123 PROFILE always_true;
GRANT CREATE SESSION to user_a;
Now user_a has to specify the old password:
ALTER USER user_a IDENTIFIED BY secret123;
ORA-28221: REPLACE not specified
ALTER USER user_a IDENTIFIED BY secret456 REPLACE secret123;
User altered.
A user with a profile without PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION or this parameter set to NULL doesn't have to specify the old password:
CREATE PROFILE without_function
LIMIT PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION NULL;
CREATE USER user_b IDENTIFIED BY secret123 PROFILE without_function;
GRANT CREATE SESSION to user_b;
Now user_b can change his/her password without having the old password:
ALTER USER user_b IDENTIFIED BY secret789;
User altered.
The second option is to have the privilege ALTER USER, but that is only for administrators, as they can change all the passwords of all account.
Oracle docu says
You can omit the REPLACE clause if you are setting your own password for the first time or you have the ALTER USER system privilege and you are changing another user's password. However, unless you have the ALTER USER system privilege, you must always specify the REPLACE clause if a password complexity verification function has been enabled ...
so the answer would be - add a password verification function to those users that should provide the old password (and revoke the password change system privilege from them).

SQL Server: Users & Logins — Where does the user name come in?

I am trying to get a better understanding of the distinction between users & logins. I know how to create them, and I understand that they are required, but I don’t yet understand how SQL Server uses this distinction.
As far as I understand, a login has access to the Server, while a user has access to a database and its objects.
If I execute the following:
CREATE LOGIN fred WITH PASSWORD='…';
USE stuff;
CREATE USER wilma FOR LOGIN fred;
USE nonsense;
CREATE USER pebbles FOR LOGIN fred;
Then I have a Login of fred with two user names associated with two databases. My guess is that these user names can be regarded as aliases for fred.
I undersand that it is common to use the same username as the login name, but clearly not necessary.
The next step is to login as fred. I cannot login as one of the users.
At this point, I don’t see what happens next. How do I become one of the users, and what would do for me?
You never authenticate as a user.You authenticate as a login, which then maps to a single user in zero or more databases.
Create the login
CREATE LOGIN fred WITH PASSWORD='fredsecret', CHECK_POLICY = OFF;
GO
Create the users
USE stuff;
CREATE USER wilma FOR LOGIN fred;
GO
USE nonsense;
CREATE USER pebbles FOR LOGIN fred;
GO
Change context so it looks like I'm fred
SELECT SUSER_SNAME() --gbn
EXECUTE AS LOGIN = 'fred'
SELECT SUSER_SNAME() --fred
Note the differences
USE stuff
SELECT SUSER_SNAME(), USER_NAME()
USE nonsense;
SELECT SUSER_SNAME(), USER_NAME()
GO
and go back to me
REVERT
The name of the login (fred in this case) is only used for authentication to SQL Server. After authentication you mostly use the sid value: which links login (server principal) and user (database principal)
SELECT name, sid FROM sys.server_principals
USE stuff
SELECT name, sid FROM sys.database_principals
USE nonsense
SELECT name, sid FROM sys.database_principals
In my case, it is 0xC7C14DE4BFDF2445A7DABE158CC399F0
Note, sid is unique in a database. This will fail
USE nonsense;
CREATE USER barney FOR LOGIN fred;
GO
Msg 15063, Level 16, State 1, Line 10
The login already has an account under a different user name.
You connect to the server under the login, on base stuff will be CURRENT_USER wilma and on nonsense CURRENT_USER = pebbles

Retrieving Oracle Password_Verify_Function

I am an IS auditor and I would like to check how we can retrieve the PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION assigned to users. I understand the script utlpwdmg.sql can be executed to setup the default password resource limits.
If changes were made using ALTER PROFILE, the script utlpwdmg.sql will not show the latest settings.
Please let me know what SQL commands I can execute to show what is the PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION stored and used in the system.
You can use this query to see source code of stored proc:
--Source of all password functions.
select *
from dba_source
where owner = 'SYS'
and name in
(
--The name of all password functions in use.
--See DBA_USERS.PROFILE to determine which user is using which profile.
select limit
from dba_profiles
where resource_name = 'PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION'
--Yes, this is intentionally the string 'NULL', that's what Oracle uses here.
and limit <> 'NULL'
)
order by name, line;
To find out what users are using PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION, you need to find out which profiles are using the function and then see which users are assigned that profile.
select profile from dba_profiles where limit = 'PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION';
select username from dba_users where profile = ;

SQL Server sys.credentials Permissions

According to the documentation the user should have either VIEW ANY DEFINITION or ALTER ANY CREDENTIAL to view the credentials. The issue is when I grant this permission, the user can see all the credentials. Is there a way to limit the user can view only one credential in SQL Server 2014?
You create a new view object that looks at the sys.credentials table based on the current user login, e.g.
CREATE VIEW dbo.GetAllowedCredentials
AS
SELECT c.credential_id,
c.name,
c.credential_identity,
c.create_date,
c.modify_date,
c.target_type,
c.target_id
FROM sys.credentials AS c
INNER JOIN sys.server_principals AS sp ON sp.credential_id = c.credential_id
WHERE sp.name = ORIGINAL_LOGIN();
You can apply permissions to this view as required.
