  • Disable Cookies in HTTP Destination

    Hi,
    Is there a possibility to disable cookies for the visual admin? Because we want to disable this for the HTTP destination service in the visual admin.

    Hi,
    that is a strange error message.
    I don't know how siteminder works but I guess your are using siteminder as SAML identity provider and configured the SAML Login Module in SAP to achieve SSO correct?
    For this purpose you need to define a HTTP Destination which is than used as SAML Receiver.
    What I do not get is the Cookie Problem.
    I don't know exactly how your process flow is but it should be something like
    - Your Client authenticates to your identity provider (let's say siteminder)
    - Any time later you try to access any resource that is configured to support SAML using SAML Assertions (e.g. SAP J2EE)
    - Your identitiy provider will generate an SAML Artifact an redirect you to the destination application (in your case some J2EE Application on SAP that is configured to validate your SAML Artifact (using the SAML Login Module)
    => This initial client request to your identity provider can contain cookies and you cannot avoid this since they are carried and sent by the client (Browser) => I hope this does not cause any problems because it really shouldn't
    Nevertheless:
    Your client request containing the SAML Articat (something like http://<j2eehost>:<j2eeport>/YourApp?TARGET=<YourApp>&SAMLArt=<Artifcat created by IDP>
    reaches the engine:
    Now the Engine creates an HTTP Post Request to your IDP that contains the SAML Assertion (SAML Assertion Request). This Assertion request also contains the Artifact and it does not contain any cookies!!! Your IDP now validates the Requests and sends an SAML Assertion Response to your engine (The SAML Login Module extracts the User from the Response (This one is carried in the NameIdentifier of the SOAP Message) and authenticates the user if it exists on the J2EE Engine
    You finally receive the response of your Destination Application.
    I don't really understand the cookie issue:
    Maybe it really helps if you allow unsecure connections for SAML in SAP J2EE  (You can enable this under Visual Admin > Configuration Adapter > saml > Settings > AllowUnsecureConnections > true)
    so you can use http instead of https. Now use Wireshark or tcpdump or something similar to create a dump of your traffic and analyze it to check where the problem is or maybe send it to me so I can have a look at it.
    Hope this helps
    Let me know if you need further assistance on this (Reward points for helpful answers are always appreciated )

    Cannot see Cookies with new update of firefox.<br />
    I recently updated firefox, but when I look on the PRIVACY window, where<br />
    websites store cookies, I am no longer able to see any cookies that<br />
    are being stored, and I am not able to delete the cookies as soon as I leave<br />
    their site, as I had been doing for a long time prior to updating.<br />
    So I am wondering where the heck are the cookies being stored now, with the<br />
    new update? I like to be able to delete their cookies immediately, and<br />
    I also wonder why firefox does not make it much easier for us to see<br />
    all the cookies and delete them with one click, instead of having to <br />
    use the &lt;&lt;TOOLS&lt;&lt;OPTIONS&lt;&lt;PRIVACY way of looking at and deleting cookies.<br />
    The option to delete the cookies when firefox closes is not as efficient<br />
    and I will get tracked until I close firefox, and I prefer to not be tracked<br />
    so I like to just delete their cookies as soon as I am no longer using their<br />
    site anymore.

    (my question was not fully showing so I added this here)

  • In Lion 10.7.x I cannot disable the Lock documents for 2 weeks in Time Machine! Thus it prevents to change anything else like the system preferences or other settings. How I can disable it?

    Hello, In Lion 10.7.x I cannot disable the Lock documents for 2 weeks in Time Machine! Thus it prevents to change anything else like the system preferences or other settings. All is locked. How I can disable it?

    Do you mean the check box isn't enabled?
    Or you remove the check but it doesn't "stick"?
    Or you remove the box but documents are stil getting locked?
    That setting doesn't apply to other things in System Preferences, just apps that support AutoSave and Versions.  If you're having a problem with System Prefs, please clarify exactly what.

  • Disabling cookies is not 100% working

    Hi!
    I'm trying to force clients using urlrewriting from the server, so in the
    session descriptor, I set the 'URLRewriting Enabled' to true and 'Cookies
    Enabled' to false. Then I test it by setting cookies enabled in browser.
    Seems this way can't guarantee using urlrewriting instead of cookies, cos
    sometimes sessions do get from cookies except that I disable cookies from
    browser. Is it possible to force using urlrewriting from the server? I met
    this problem with Weblogic 6.1, and it seems OK with 5.1.
    Thanks a lot.
    Hattie

    How are you blocking Google from settings cookies?
    Try opening the Permissions manager by typing or pasting '''about:permissions''' in the address bar and pressing Enter. Then type ''goog'' in the search box above the site list. What do you have set for google.com? See the attached screen shot for an example.

  • I cannot disable the full keyboard  navigation

    Hello I have quite a problem.
    As it says above, I cannot disable the full keyboard navigation option, whenever I try to, it re-activates itself in the preferences, even if I just change tabs and return within the preferences.
    Furthermore, the keys seem to activate oddly, as I do not know of any shortcuts bound to the S key (JUST the s key), which commonly causes Itunes to skip forward a track in whatever playlist I am playing.
    I have tried changing the other preferences, and I can change them with no difficulties, it is just the Keyboard navigation that is giving me problems.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    On second thought... The help article cor-el linked mentions that Firefox may prompt you every time if the file is sent with the disposition:attachment header, i.e., forced save. You can bypass that problem (change disposition:attachment to disposition:inline) using the Inline Disposition extension. It has been around for a while, but I haven't tried it myself: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/inlinedisposition/]. Maybe that's what you need for Gmail.

    DBMS/driver you're using doesn't implement the transactional calls/behavior that
    are required for managing EJB transactions. If you can write a small standalone
    java program that just gets a JDBC connection to your database, then calls setAutoCommit(false),
    then does a few updates, then calls Conenction.commit(), then there may be a weblogic problem,
    but if your simple program gets the same error, you need a transactionally capable DBMS.

  • Cannot disable a mailbox in Exchange 2013 CU6!?!?!?!

    I cannot disable a mailbox in Exchange 2013 CU6. I get the following error:
    Anyone seen this error? As you know, I just want to remove the Exchange attributes from the user object in Active Directory. Of course, deleting the user object works just fine but don't want to go that route. 

    I tried with the EMS (Powershell) and I still get an error:

    Are you sure you want to perform this action?
    Disabling mailbox "[email protected]" will remove the Exchange properties from the Active Directory user object and mark the mailbox in the database for removal. If the mailbox has an archive or remote archive, the archive will also
    be 
    marked for removal. In the case of remote archives, this action is permanent. You can't reconnect this user to the remote archive again.

  • Cannot disable Homes: Enable Virtual Share Points

    Hello,
    We just installed 10.5 server this morning, and many things seem to be a big improvement-- e.g., the new version of Samba (3.0.25) now allows AD transitive trust users to connect, whereas 10.4's Samba (3.0.10) did not. But the problem now is: we cannot disable the virtual share points for homedirs on Samba. In Server Admin, if you uncheck the checkbox and hit "Apply", the GUI rechecks it.
    10.4 Server has this same configuration option, and it works as expected. I did a little investigation with the serveradmin command-line tool on our Leopard machine, and this tool exhibits the same problem. For example:
    floydpepper:/ admin$ sudo serveradmin settings smb:adminCommands:homes = no
    Password:
    smb:adminCommands:homes = yes
    For reference, we are set up as a Domain Member for Active Directory. We do not have any schema additions (for Mac stuff, anyway).
    I suspect that maybe there's some configuration option further up that supercedes this, and that's why Server Admin rechecks the checkbox. My guess was that maybe Directory Services was overlaying an attribute on top of AD information. And I see that if I use dscl and look at the attributes for my user in AD, there is indeed an attribute for home folders that clearly does not exist in the AD itself: "NFSHomeDirectory" which is set to /Users/[myusername]
    When I go back and us dscl to lookup the same thing in Tiger Server, Directory Services also appends the NFSHomeDirectory attribute, but without the same side-effect. So I'm probably mistaken that that is the cause.
    Anyone have any pointers? This looks an awful lot like a bug to me.
    Thanks,
    -b
    P.S. I also did have a look at where in smb.conf this is being set-- it is being put in an include'd smb.conf that is stored in /var/run. If I comment out the \[homes\] section, and restart Samba, that /var/run/smb.conf is overwritten with a new autogenerated version. I would just wipe that section out, lock the file, and restart Samba, but I really do want our administrators to be able to use the GUI tools. Otherwise, I would just be using Samba on Linux.

    I was able to "fix" the issue with an ugly workaround by modifying /etc/smb.conf and adding certain values to the [[homes]] share that render it ineffective. I added the following to /etc/smb.conf:
    ; Site-specific parameters can be added below this comment.
    ; END required configuration.
    ; Hack to disable virtual homes
    [[homes]]
    path = /dev/null
    valid users = root
    ; END hack
    With these values added to [[homes]], it is only available to the root user, and even then it would go nowhere. I debugged the issue to the point where it appears that the synchronize-preferences tool (/usr/libexec/samba/synchronize-preferences) ignores user settings for disabling virtual homes. I sent so far as to modify the system default in /System/Library/CoreServices/SmbFileServer.bundle/Resources/ServerDefaults.plis t to see if it was a simple case of default settings overriding user settings, but that also had no effect on the configuration that synchronize-preferences created in /var/db/smb.conf
    I hope this helps you all out.
