Unsecure Access(Over HTTP) to Oracle 11g Enterprise Manager console
I am posting after a gap of almost 3 years...
Recently I had setup Oracle 11g and tried to access the Enterprise Manager console from my preferred browser Waterfox. To my surprise, Waterfox complained that Oracle EM Console cannot be opened up due to a outdated security certificate issue!!
I did a bit of searching around (googling!!) and found the SSL security certificate that comes with Oracle 11g EM Console is no longed supported by the latest browsers and hence the complaining.
I found a way to 'unsecure' the Console connection so that it works in my browser.
Here is the simple process.
1. Open Start menu and type 'cmd' in the Run command.
2. Change directory to the following folder path:
\Product\11.1.0\db_1\dbs
3. Type the following command and press 'Enter':
emctl unsecure dbconsole
This command is supposed to allow unsecure connection to the Oracle Enterprise Manager console.
You may encounter an error, which states an environment variable is not defined. Not to worry.
We just have to define is as indicated in two sample scenarios given below.
Setting ORACLE_SID environment variable
Setting ORACLE_UNQNAME environment variable
That's it.

Install IBM Cognos Insight 10.2.0.1
Today I installed free-to-use-for-personal-non-commercial-use IBM Cognos Insight 10.2.0.1 on my personal laptop, to see what all the hype is about, finally.
Go here to download the IBM Cognos Insight software. Check if your environment is supported or not here. You can find the info center for IBM Cognos Insight here.
Installation went through smooth in under 5 minutes. The below are few snapshots from the same.
You will have to allow access to two applications tm1ipmp.exe and cognosinsight.exe through the Windows firewall.
At first glance, I though I am looking at the UI of a Video editing or Video conversion software !!! Lol But this UI is clean and super smooth. They included some cool themes too.

Oracle user account locked??
If you install Oracle 11g on an unsupported Windows version and try to access the default schema/user which is scott/tiger, you could face a error such as below.
This is because the schema is locked (and possibly expired as well).
So we just have to connect to Oracle as DBA and unlock our schema/user
And then as the schema is unlocked now but the password for the schema is only in 'expired' state, if you can go ahead and connect to it. It fails and asks you to set a new password. You set a password and you can happily use the scott schema now with out any issues.
Happy Learning SQL !!!
