Oracle E-Business Suite Password Management using AFPASSWD

AFPASSWD Utility:

It is an enhanced version of FNDCPASS and includes the following features:
  • It prompts for passwords required for the current operation.
  • It avoids the security risk incurred by entering passwords on the command line for FNDCPASS.
  • User enter the new password twice to confirm.
  • Can be used to migrate Oracle EBS user passwords to a non-reversible hash password scheme.
Note: Always run AutoConfig after changing any system (type 2) password.
Refer : How To Change Applications Passwords Using Applications Schema Password Change Utility (FNDCPASS or AFPASSWD) (Doc ID 437260.1)
 To migrate Oracle E-Business Suite user passwords to a password hashing scheme:
AFPASSWD [-c <APPSUSER>[@<TWO_TASK>]] -m <HASH_MODE> {FULL|BACKGROUND|PARTIAL}
Known issues of AFPASSWD:
  • Adadmin Fails After Schema Password Is Changed Using AFPASSWD (Doc ID 1492939.1)
  • ISSUE DURING AFPASSWD UTILITY RUN (Doc ID 2157967.1)
  • AFPASSWD Relink Fails While Applying R12 Patch With Error Undefined Reference To `iifgcg' (Doc ID 1499357.1)
  • Migrating Password Using AFPASSWD Fails With Error: "Users with Invalid passwords" (Doc ID 2194846.1)
AFPASSWD Usage:
AFPASSWD [-c <APPSUSER>[@<TWO_TASK>]] -f <FNDUSER>
AFPASSWD [-c <APPSUSER>[@<TWO_TASK>]] -o <DBUSER>
AFPASSWD [-c <APPSUSER>[@<TWO_TASK>]] -a
AFPASSWD [-c <APPSUSER>[@<TWO_TASK>]] -l <ORACLEUSER> {TRUE|FALSE}
AFPASSWD [-c <APPSUSER>[@<TWO_TASK>]] -L {TRUE|FALSE}
AFPASSWD [-c <APPSUSER>[@<TWO_TASK>]] -s <APPLSYS>
AFPASSWD [-c <APPSUSER>[@<TWO_TASK>]] -h
These options have the following functions:
-c <APPSUSER>[@<TWO_TASK>]:
Specifies the connection string to use, the Oracle E-Business Suite user, and/or the value of TWO_TASK.
Can be use in combination with others. Default values from the environment will be used.
-f <FNDUSER>:
Changes password for an Oracle E-Business Suite user.
User name that with spaces or special characters must be enclosed in double quotation marks;
For example, "JO BAY" or "JO.BAY@EXAMPLE.COM"..
-o <DBUSER>:
Changes the password for an Oracle EBS database user.
Note: This only applies to users listed in the FND_ORACLE_USERID table, not database users in general.
-a:
Changes all Oracle passwords for schemas that are registered as base product schemas in the FND_ORACLE_USERID table (
excluding the passwords of APPS, APPLSYS, and APPS_NE) to the same password, in the same way as the ALLORACLE mode does in FNDCPASS.
-l:
Locks or unlocks an individual Oracle EBS database user (ORACLE_USER) (except required schemas).
Specify TRUE to lock or FALSE to unlock.
-L:
Locks or unlocks all Oracle EBS database users (except required schemas). Specify TRUE to lock or FALSE to unlock.
-s <APPLSYS>:
Changes the password for the APPLSYS user, the APPS user, and the APPS_NE user.
This requires the execution of AutoConfig on all tiers. After changing the APPLSYS password, you must also perform the steps to Update WLS Data Source.
-h:
Displays help.
