Adding mail users from Portal 'sign me up' facility

When users access the Portal for the first time, they have the opportunity to sign up as new users.
This will create their user id and they can then access IM or Calendar quite happily.
They can't, however, access mail. Adding mail users appears only to be possible via the command line tools. This essentially means that it's not practical to have users sign themselves up!
Is there any integration module/howto out that describes how to let users sign up to mail and the other services and not just an inconvenient subset?

If you create a Mail service (have a look at the sample one provided with Identity Server 6.1 in /opt/SUNWam/samples/integration) you can specify default values for the relevant attributes, then specify that the service you create is a required service in the organization your users area being created in.
Haven't tried it myself but it should work.

Replication of Users from portal to R/3

Hi,
I would like to develop a portal functionnality that allows replication of users from portal to R/3. I know that the functionnality already exists in portal but we need to do another one because of special requirements. How could I find the java code of the existing functionnality to understand how SAP built it?
Thanks

Moving Mail Users from a Local Directory to Open Directory

Hi,
We have been running a standalone mail server for a few years. We have recently upgraded to 10.5 for all of our servers. We have also been running an Open Directory server for the last year or so. Now I am trying to move my email users from the Local Directory on the Mail server to the LDAP server. Obviously we do not want to change account names, so I find I need to delete the local user and then enable the user through the LDAP. This works fine, but I need to bring the original IMAP files/folders forward.
My question is what is the best practice? I thought backing up the Mail folder in each user's Library and reimporting it would work, but it won't take the IMAP mbox (I can see all the .emlx files in the backup of the user's Mail folder).
So again, I had a user called user1 in my mail server Local directory say server1. I also have an Open Directory server2 with the same username on it. I have bound server1 to server2. I can see the server2 (OD) accounts on the server1 (mail). I then need to delete user1 from Local server1 directory in order to enable mail to user1 from the OD. This does work, but again, I need bring the mail files/folders to the new OD account on server1.
thanks,
mike

Tony,
Let me check of the migration manual, thank you!
I really thought this was going to easier than this. The current accounts are IMAP, and therefore when I "hook up" the new OD account, which doesn't really need anything done on the client side because it is the same username and password and server as the current Local account. When it syncs, the old emails on the IMAP account in the user's Mail program clear since the new OD account is empty on the server.
I just really thought duplicating the Mail folder in the client's home Library would allow me to import the emails back in. I have tried highlighting the mailboxes (Inbox, and personal folders), archiving them, and then reimporting seemed to work, but I need to beat it up before I start working on live accounts. One account I did try lets me read the emails from the user, but when I try dragging them to the IMAP folders from the import folder, I get a NULL character problem on IMAP append error. NOT to chase that, but it was something else that tripped me up.
You do bring up a good point, I think the accounts were originally setup as POP and IMAP. I'll chase some ideas about that.
Let me play around, you've been great considering my awful explanation of this different situation.
thanks again,
mike

Error adding new users from local server

Hello, BPC Gurus,
We use BPC 7.0 MS SP4, MS SQL 2008 (Server name - BPCP01)
In Administration Console we're trying to add user from local server (server with SQL Database), and warning window is appeared with message "The Server Is Not Operational [BPBCP01]"
I checked Logging folder and found message:
==============[System Error Tracing]==============
[System Name] : OSoftAdminSecurity
[Job Name]     : frmManageUser::GetAllObjectsFromDomainServer

Any ideas?

The installation was done with a local user or with a domain user?
You know that BPC server can not be in the same time also domain controler.
Are you using Windows authentication or CMS authentication.
If you are using CMS authentication then again you can not add local users.
If you are using Windows authentication then you have to go into server Manager
Options - Define System User Groups
Domain Type - Local Windows
System User Group Name - Local Users.
If you are using Windows 2008 make sure you addrole to have compatibility with IIS 6.because using this module bpc is adding new users.

Get user from Portal

Hey
Im trying to get the user from the Portal.
Im using following code:
IWDClientUser user = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
String User = user.getFirstName() + " " + user.getLastName();
the problem is that this code only works on one client. If i try another client with the same user, it doesnt return anything. What could be wrong? Am I missing some jar files?

Hi Kristoffer,
Your code is not enough to get Portal user.I am not also understanding your problem with 2 different clients.What you mean by 2 clients.Is that 2 different pc's with development environment or just 2 different browsers ?.
Anyway you can try this code to get the portal user and probably you have to change ep5 user things.From ep6 getting ep5 user is depriciated but it will still work.
IWDClientUser wdClientUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
IUser sapUser = wdClientUser.getSAPUser();
IUser ep5User = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User(sapUser);

Error adding new users in Portal 9ias Release 2

We have just built a new OracleIAS Server using 9.0.2 with Portal installed. Everything works just fine with Portal until I try to add a new user. When I go into the administration section and click on "Create New Users" it returns a page cannot be displayed error.
The URL it is trying to access is: pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login
I cannot find anything in the error_log files for the IAS Server.
1) Where would I find the errors logged by this process?
2) Anyone ever seen this before?
3) Any fixes?

SP 2010-After adding user from IIS is not found in central admin

Hi Experts,
I am trying to configure my SP 2010 with Form Based Authentication.
After configuring WebSite, STS and Central Admin I added the user from IIS , But not able to found from central admin in Form Authentication.
I checked in database the user is added.
I followed the below blog .
http://jasear.wordpress.com/2012/03/16/sharepoint-2010-setting-up-form-based-authentication-fba-using-asp-net-sql-membership-provider/
Can experts help me how to get the added user to central admin.
Thanks
AshisK

I was finally able to get the FBA working. After many failed attempts, I knew there was a configuration issue which was causing the error.
I provided connection string and provider details at 4 places, instead of the 3 mentioned in various blogs around ->
1. Sharepoint Central Admin
2. Sharepoint Web Services
3. SecurityTokenServiceApplication
4. And finally the web application itself.
The connection string for 2nd and 3rd will remain same however, provider details need to be added.
After completing this step, I was able to login using Form Based Authentication without an issue.

Empty field prevents user from signing

Good afternoon,
How do I prevent a user from digitally signing the document if there is a blank field.
The issue I am having is that the digital signature prompt pops up. When the user signs, the document saves. After that is executed, my java code executes clearing the signature.
The thing is we have a saved document with a signature in there.
Is there any way I can have a javascipt prevent the digital signature prompt if a field is blank?

I think I found a solution but it is not working as I would hope. I decided to add in a text field above the signature block. See code below:
if(this.getField("PE1").value=="" || this.getField("PE2").value=="" || this.getField("PE3").value=="" || this.getField("PE4").value=="" || this.getField("PE5").value=="" || this.getField("PE6").value==""){
    this.getField("Text100").value="To digitally sign, you must input all ratings in page 2"
    this.getField("Signature37").readonly=false
    else
    this.getField("Text100").value=""
    this.getField("Signature37").readonly=true
It is not executing the read only.
How do I fix this?

How to prevent users from entering '+' or '0' in front of country code in the phone number field?

Requirement:
How can I prevent guest users from entering '+' sign or '0' in front of country-code in the visitor phone number field during self registration?
Few SMS service providers are not looking for '+' sign or '0' or '00' in front of the international phone numbers to trigger the sms. Providing these values in front of country code during self-registration may fail to deliver the sms to recipient.
Solution:
Using a simple regular expression, you can validate the entered phone number during the guest registration.
The below regular expression will help you to validate the phone number and allows to register only when the phone number is not staring with '+' or '0'.
^[1-9][0-9](\d{7}|\d{8}|\d{9}|\d{10}|\d{11}|\d{12})$
It also performs the below validations.
only numbers are allowed.
first digit of the entered phone number should be 1 to 9, so '+' or '0' is not allowed.
numbers from 0 to 9 are allowed from the second digit.
also validates phone number length, the length of the phone number should be 9 to 14.
Configuration:
To add the above regex in the visitor_phone number filed, please navigate to ClearPass Guest >> Configuration >> (Pages)Guest Self-Registration >> select the self-registration page and go to Edit >> Register Page >> Form >> select the filed visitor_phone and set the Validator to " ISRegexMatch" and enter the above regex in the Validator Argument filed as shown below.
Note: Edit the Validation Error as per your requirement.
Verification
Adding the given regex will validate the phone number and prevent the guest user from registering the phone number starts with '+' or '0'.
Please find below the sample outputs for your reference.
Result when phone number starts with '+' or '0'.
Successful registration.

How to add user from domain A to a group in domain B

How would you acheive adding a user from domain A to a group that is in domain B via powershell without the Quest cmdlets? I've been trying to figure this out for about a week now. Please let me know if the scripting guy has seen this issue before.
LittleTech

Hello jrv,
Here's what i was trying to do. The two domains im working with have a trust between them.
1. Create a user in External.Domain.Com
2. Add the user in External.Domain.Com to GroupOne in ExternalDomain2.Domain.com
3. The only knowledge that ExternalDomain2.Domain.Com would have about the account in External.Domain.Com is whatever is in the Global Catalog. Here is what im trying, but it isn't working.
#Connecting to domain PSDrive
New-PSDrive
-Name
ExternalDomain
-PSProvider
ActiveDirectory
-Root
-Server
DC01.Domain.com
cd
ExternalDomain:
#Create user
#Add to ExternalDomain Groups
$UserDN=Get-ADUser-LDAPFilter"(sAMAccountName=$UserID)"
#Connecting to domain2 PSDrive
cd
AD:
$GroupDN="CN=Wireless
Device Users,OU=Wireless,OU=Systems and Technology,DC=External,DC=Domain2,DC=Com"
Add-ADGroupMember-Identity$GroupDN-Members(Get-ADObject-Identity$UserDN.DistinguishedName
-Server"DC01.Domain.com:3268")
Connecting via port 3268 allows me to talk to the global catalog instead of LDAP.
I receive the following message: A Referral was returned from the server
I know that if i connect using [ADSI] i am able to specify that the connection follows referrals, the AD cmdlets seem to not have that function. The Quest AD cmdlets do... I just dont want to have to use third party cmdlets to do what the AD cmdlets should
be able to do in the first place.
THanks,

BPM 11g workspace not show user from OVD - top most authentication provider

Hi,
We have added OVD which connected to LDAP as the top-most authentication provider for myrealm. The order of the providers are:
(1) OVD (control Flag:SUFFICIENT)
(2) DefaultAuthenticator(control Flag: REQUIRED)
(3) DefaultIdentityAsserter
The users and groups from the OVD are displayed in the weblogic console and are searchable in the OEM when I want to add the user/group to the application role but not in the BPM workspace. I find a related thread:
Weblogic administrator account is inactive after enabling DB Authenticator
It seems I did the same but I am still able to login bpm workspace with weblogic id. I guess my BPM does not use OVD for the Authenticator at all and it is still using DefaultAuthenticator. Can anyone please help and let me know what I missed for the setting? Should I put DefaultIdentityAsserter to the 2nd in the provider list to solve this?
Thanks,
Helen
Edited by: Helen on Mar 22, 2011 7:31 AM

Hi Helen
Make sure that for the second Authenticator (DefaultAuthenticator) the required Flag is SUFFICIENT. From Weblogic point of view, if it is required, this means that user should and must exist in this provider also. Since you configured external LDAP and say you have something like "mytestuser" in LDAP. I guess you already added this user "mytestuser" to the BPMWorflowAdmin role as per the forum you listed below. But this user may not and will not exist in the default authenticator. So try making it sufficient and see if that works.
As mentioned in my earlier post, I do have LDAP cconfigured to my BPM Domain and this is the first in the order of providers. I added a user from this LDAP into workflow admin role in em. I could login into bpm/workspace and see adminstrator link.
Thanks
