BPM, BPEL and security

Does the BPM engine work with the security layer or is it required that the BPEL programmer explicitly write or interact with a security layer (e.g. checking network access credentials?)

HI,
I hope that depends on how you want to secure the BPEL service.
Either you can define the username and password in BPEL. Or
If you use OWSM, you need to again authenticate the username and password else just extacting the credentials does not make sense.
For example, if you do not use File authenticate in OWSM policy then only security the OWSM gateway will provide is "proxifying the BPEL Web Service".
Also can you clarify, if BPEL PM is sending out WSS headers then I think it is message producer not consumer.

10g BPEL and Secured Service

Hello,
My 10g BPEL process has a partner link to a non-secured(http) service. Now it should point to a secured(https) service.
To achieve that I think, I need to get the security certificate and import it in keystore.
Could anyone guide me the other steps which needs to be done to access the secured service from BPEL.
Thanks for any suggestion.
Thanks and Regards,
Dev...

Diff Between Oracle BPM Studio and Oracle BPEL Process Manager

1)What is the difference between Oracle BPM Studio and Oracle BPEL Process Manager?
2)What is the connection between Oracle BPM Studio and Oracle BPEL Process Manager?

Hi,
As of today you should install SOA Suite 11g
Fr this you will need to install Database (for development you can use XE)
Run RCU utility to crete DB schemas for SOA Suite.
Install Weblogic server
Install SOA Suite as an option to Weblogic
Create SOA Domain.
It is physically possible to do it in 2GB but is far better on 3 - 4GB
You can consider installing DB on different machine.

BPEL PM, BPM, BPEL in SOA Suite - what's the diff?

Hi
I read many blogs, one blog says all are same, other says each is diff. I've got some idea on what each of these offers. But pls clarify.
I'm really confused of the terminology that oracle uses for BPEL PM, BPM, BPEL in SOA Suite.
I'm aware of BPEL that comes with the SOA Suite installation, we develop, deploy and maintain BPEL flows using JDev.
Now, what's this BPEL Process Manager, that is listed in the products section, seperately from SOA Suite? Does it contain anything diff from the BPEL engine that is embedded in SOA Suite?
And What's Business Process Management(BPM). As far as i know, and could think of, is that BPM is a tool for modelling business applications. It is similar to the BPEL in SOA Suite PLUS Modelling capability of the business process. It even has the same components as in SOA SUite like BPEL, Business Rules, Human Flows, Mediators, Adaptors.
So, can we say, BPM = SOA Suite + Modelling capabilities of business process.
To summarise, would you please summarise the components that each of these provide
BPEL Process Manager -- BPEL, _(and what other componens)_
SOA SUite -- BPEL, Bus. Rules, Human Flows, Mediators, Adapters
BPM -- Modelling notations, BPEL, Bus. Rules, Human Flows, Mediators, Adapters
If BPEL exists in all the three, Is the engine that runs it also the same one in all three..?

Hi
1. Yes, your understanding is absolutely correct: BPM = SOA Suite + Modelling capabilities of business process. I hope you know little bit of history behind this BPM product and about BEA and Oracle company. Below is some non-technical information about these companies and the products they owned.
2. Originally I guess, Oracle had SOA Suite like 10g running on their own Oracle application server. It may have had some basic components like human tasks, mediators some basic business rules etc. During the same time around 2006 to 2008 another company by name BEA has Weblogic Application Server and had another full blown process development applications/software. BEA in turn bought from Plumtree like that. Anyhow they had full stack of products like ALBPM (Aqua Logic Business Process Management), ALUI (Aqua Logic UI Portal), ALDSP (Data Integrator), ALSB (AL Service Bus), ALES (AL Enterprise Security) etc. Then Oracle bought BEA Company and Oracle ended up owning all these products. Oracle spent good amount of money, people and technology and did an awesome job in integrating BEAs ALBPM with their own SOA software and put everything on top of Weblogic Application Server. For a while, soa and bpm existed parallely. Like we can install albpm on top of soa like that. But SOA 11g onwards SOA + BPM are completely integrated and provided as a single product. They are not separate any more. We can call that as SOA Suite or BPM Suite. But as you understand, they had all the stuff to create a full blown process application that includes core BPEL Process, tasks, mediators, adapters, email adapters everything. Customers buy this suite of produt. They can develop simple BPEL Process or complex BPM Applications. The advanced features for BPM you can find online like adding Swimlanes/Roles where we can literally drag and drop the Human Tasks in those roles and that takes care of everything.
Oracle retained and rebranded other products like ALSB (Oracle Service Bus), ALES (something like identity management) etc .
In conclusion, your understanding is correct. Now there is only BPM or SOA (use any word) that includes everything and that runs on Weblogic Application Server.

Way to protect my bpel and esb jar (SOA 10g) from reverse engineering?

Hi All
We would be sharing our BPEL and ESB jars with some other company for deployment? Is there a way to protect them so that they are not able to peak into the contents of the jar?
If I extract the jar file, i can see all my XSD, WSDL, XSL, BPEL and ESB files as it is (the same as in JDEV)?
is there a way to protect them? Please help its urgent!

The use of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a viable and extremely cost-effective alternative to the HSM, if the encryption and key-management application is designed properly. This is the approach we took when storing encrypted data and encrypted-keys within a database for our key-,management system. However, when using cryptographic hardware modules in your solution (that also meet regulatory requirements for split-knowledge and multiple key-custodians), your design for the solution must be carefully thought out to ensure that the implementation is reasonably secure and that it meets regulatory requirements. Storing an unencrypted key (or password that decrypts a PBE-based key) anywhere on a disk is an invitation for disaster.

BPM & BPEL

Hi All,
I am going through the BPM documents I got doubt like what is the difference between BPM process and BPEL process.
When we use BPM process and when we use BPEL process.
Advance thanks for clarification.
Thanks,
Venkat Sarvabatla

BPEL is an OASIS standard execution language for interactions with webservices. Processes in BPEL export and import information by using webservices interfaces exclusively.
With BPEL you can expose the business process as a webservice to be consumed by other application/system or reutilize at different systems.Ex. transactions and data manipulations.It is mainly used for orchestration.
BPM is a management model that helps companies manage their business processes while optimizing and leveraging IT assets.
With BPM you can develop, deploy, monitor, integrate and optimize the automation of applications for different types of processes that involve people and systems. It helps organisations to reduce costs, streamlined operations and greater agilty to respond to changing business needs. The only difference is it cannot be expose as a webservice.

BPEL & WS-Security

Hello,
Where can i find more information about BPEL's WS-Security support.
We have services which use certificates for authentication. Will it be possible to orchestrate them with BPEL?
For example passing an encrypted and signed request (and the certificate of course) from one SOAP to another request/call.

Start up problems after Safari 3.1 and Security update

Updated safari and security update last night.
Safari downloaded and installed but there was an error downloading or installing the security update, I forgot.
After I restarted everything booted up fine, but was stuck on "Starting Mac OS X" screen.
Did a fsck and zap the pram, still stuck.
Today I tried booting up in safe mode, stuck on the gray screen with the apple logo.
Then I tried booting up from an external firewire dvd drive. Repaired permissions, repaired the disk, but it is still stuck on "Starting Mac OS X" screen. Help please...
Thank you

Ok i had a similar problem, with all the recent updates for Leopard, including the 10.5.2 combo update... the 12" PowerBook G4 kept getting stuck on the grey apple and spinning wheel... if it managed to get past this it would get stuck on the blue screen!!!
The way i got around this, after trying all these other tips was: Archived & Installed 10.5; restarted, waited; downloaded 10.5.2 Combo update, installed; restarted, waited; waited; waited; after getting back to desktop, restarted, waited; then ran Software Update only installing one at a time, and after each install, restarted, waited; when all Software updates completed, proceeded with iLife updates etc... It took a while (still quicker than the 3 days of failed installs and updates) with a lot of waiting on the blue screen (5-20mins) but we got there in the end. Disks where checked with Leopard Disk Utility before and after, permissions where checked before and after completing all installs, also with a DW 4.1 optimization. Also note worthy is the RAM was upgraded from the initial 256Mb (!!!) with an extra Gb.

Passing value from ADF to BPEL, and to PL/SQL procedure

1. I have created BPEL which take 2 inputs and concatenate them.
2. have created a PL/SQL procedure for invoking this BPEL( working fine).
Now i need to create a simple ADF page which contain 2 text box, 2 for input and 1 for result(concatenate), this will take 2 inputs and send them into BPEL, this will invoke the BPEL process and perform the necessary concatenate function...
in addition to this, i am passing code into PL/SQL procedure ...
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body xmlns:ns1="http://xmlns.oracle.com/OrderImportDemo">
<ns1:InputRequest>
<ns1:FirstName>abcdef</ns1:FirstName>
<ns1:LastName>aaaaaa</ns1:LastName>
</ns1:InputRequest>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>';
this code will take vaule from BPEL and run properly.
can you please help me,

thanks for help, but the problem is diff.
i don't have any schema, what i want i need to create a adf page that will contain 3 tent field, 2 for input and 1 for output. when i will enter 2 input field and click on ok button, this will invoke BPEL, BPEL will take these 2 inputs and do the concat on this and send back to adf with result.

can you please help me,

Three simple steps you need to do :
1) Generate proxy for your bpel process in Jdeveloper.
2)Create simple ADF page with 2 input for taking value and a input for showing the result and one command button.
3) In backing bean on command button action, get value from two inputs, pass the in the proxy service and update the the the third input with the result of service.

Bursting with translation and security attributes?

Hi folks,
I've been lurking on the forum for a while and despite not always finding a solution, existing threads normally pointed me in the right direction - so thanks :)
I'm working on EBS 11.5.10 with the latest Bi-Publisher 5.6.3 (5472959) and bursting (5968876) patches installed.
I have successfully done the following individual AR Invoice Bi-Publisher tasks:
1. translated an invoice RTF template by attaching an xliff file to the data definition,
2. applied security attributes to the template to restrict updates on the resulting PDF,
3. burst a custom AR invoice print and emailed the resultant pdf's.
The PDF generated by the combined Invoice print correctly applies the translation and security attributes; however when I run the "XML Publisher Report Bursting Program" to the XML file the resultant burst PDF's do not apply the translation or security attributes. I assume this a limitation of bursting control files? If so, is this on the list of future enhancements to Bi-Publisher?
Here's an example of my control file document entry, I have included locale and pdf-security entries - these don't cause an error but equally don't generate the desired result (p.s. I know I'm emailing on a PRI filter - it's just a test):
<xapi:document output-type="pdf" delivery="att_email">
<xapi:template type="rtf"
location="/usr/tmp/xxxINVOICE3.rtf"
locale="fr-US"
pdf-security="true" pdf-encryption-level="1" pdf-permissions-password="xxxxxx"
filter=".//G_INVOICE_HEADER[PRINTING_OPTION='PRI']" >
</xapi:template>
</xapi:document>
Thanks
Dave

You would have happened to try applying the security stuff in the application for your template? Try that and see if the pdf properties get set.
If that doesn't work your left with two options:
1. create a java concurrent program and set the properties manually.
2. Log a tar.
=================
==local idea's
=================
Are you sure you don't have to create template config for the locale? i suspect that's why it's not applying the xliff translation. Also, your NLS_LANG needs to be set to FRENCH for the approriate template to be applied. If your logged-in as english your french format template will not be applied, neither will the translation. As an example you can query vl table and you'll only get american (us) but if you alter your session you'll get the translation for that language when your query the table.
location="xdo://xxxAR.xxx_XML_PRINT.fr.US"
try it out and see if that works. Note: This will only work if your session NLS_LANG is set to FRENCH.

How to Set up HTTPOnly and SECURE FLAG for session cookies

Hi All,
To fix some vulnerability issues (found in the ethical hacking , penetration testing) I need to set up the session cookies (CFID , CFTOKEN , JSESSIONID) with "HTTPOnly" (so not to access by other non HTTP APIs like Javascript). Also I need to set up a "secure flag" for those session cookies.
I have found the below solutions.
For setting up the HTTPOnly for the session cookies.
1] In application.cfc we can do this by using the below code. Or we can do this in CF admin side under Server Settings » Memory Variables
     this.sessioncookie.httponly = true;
For setting up the secure flag for the session cookies.
2] In application.cfc we can do this by using the below code. Or we can do this in CF admin side under Server Settings » Memory Variables
     this.sessioncookie.secure = "true"
Here my question is how we can do the same thing in Application.cfm?. (I am using ColdFusion version 10). I know we can do this using the below code , incase of HTTPOnly (for example).
<cfapplication setclientcookies="false" sessionmanagement="true" name="test">
<cfif NOT IsDefined("cookie.cfid") OR NOT IsDefined("cookie.cftoken") OR cookie.cftoken IS NOT session.CFToken>
<cfheader name="Set-Cookie" value="CFID=#session.CFID#;path=/;HTTPOnly">
<cfheader name="Set-Cookie" value="CFTOKEN=#session.CFTOKEN#;path=/;HTTPOnly">
</cfif>
But in the above code "setclientcookies" has been set to "false". In my application (it is an existing application) this has already been set to "true". If I change this to "false" as mentioned in the above code then ColdFusion will not automatically send CFID and CFTOKEN cookies to client browser and we need to manually code CFID and CFTOKEN on the URL for every page that uses Session. Right???. And this will be headache.Right???. Or any other way to do this.
Your timely help is well appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I couldnt understand this. I mean how are you relating this with my question.
When Tomcat detects that the communication protocol is secure (that is, HTTPS), it automatically switches on the 'secure' flag for the J2EE session cookie, JsessionID. Tomcat is configured to do that. Coldfusion has no say in it. So, for JsessionID, 'secure' is automatically set to 'false' when HTTP is detected and automatically set to 'true' when HTTPS is detected.
     If this is the case then why I am getting below info for jsessionid (As you mentioned it should set with SECURE flag . Right???). Note that we are using web server - Apache vFabric .And the application that we are using is in https and there is no hit is going from https to http.

Set HTTPOnly / Secure for the session cookies that you wish to use. Each cookie has its pros and cons. For example, the JsessionID cookie is more secure and more Java-interoperable than CFID/CFToken but, from the explanation above, it forbids the sharing of sessions between HTTP and HTTPS.
     I understood that setting thos flags (httponly/secure) is as per my wish. But my question was , is it necessary to set those flags forcf session cookies (cfid and cftoken) as we have enabled J2EE session in CF admin?. Or in other way as the session management is J2EE based do we need to set those flags for CF session cookies?.
BKBK wrote:
3]If I need to set HTTPOnly and SECURE flag for JSESSIONID , how can I do that.
It is sufficient to set the HTTPOnly only. As I explained above, Tomcat will automatically set 'secure' to 'true' when necessary, that is, when the protocol is HTTPS.
     I understood that it is sufficient to set httponly only.but how we will set it for jsessionid?. This is my question. Apache vFabric will alos set secure to true automatically. Any idea??
