How to integrate Oracle Portal running on Oracle Application Server 10.1.2

I have an Oracle Portal running on a Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.
Portal is responsible ( along with OID ) for the users authentication and authorization.
There is a new JEE application that was developed recently, which the Portal users must have access to.
HOW can I put a link into a page of the Portal, that redirects the portal user to a new browser window displaying my new application?
HOW can this new application, running in a separate weblogic 11g (10.3.5) server, automatically authenticate with the same username/password previously authenticated when the user logged into the portal?
Any ideas?
I´ve already thought in a bunch of ways to do it:
- put a link into the portal with a sessionId, then when opening the new app, it automatically tries to use the same session. How can I configure this session id during the creation of the portal's page? How can I use it from the new app to use the same session?
- put a link into the portal with a userid, then when opening the new app, it automatically tries to authenticate using a different authentication provider configurated in WL, which points to Portal´s OID. In this situation, how can I ensure that the user is already logged in and the session has not timed out?
- Should I use OSSO?
- Should I use OAM?
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Murilo,
A portletized version of your J2EE app would probably have been ideal for your purpose as it would handle both authentication (through SSO) and session information (through Portal framework as the framework can pass session information to the provider/producer). This would require changes to the application however.
Easiest approach would be to use mod_osso to protect your J2EE application. SSO would then handle the authentication for your Portal and your J2EE application.
Thanks,
EJ

  • Oracle portal use in different application servers

    Instead of Oracle 9iAS, can Oracle Portal run on other Application Server?

    Hello,
    When you using JDBC resource in a J2EE container you should use a DataSource that will be an abstraction layer to your code.
    Are you doing that?
    This will simplify the integration to the development, test and production machines.
    You can take look the the data source how-to on OTN.

  • Can Oracle Portal work without Oracle HTTP Server ?.

    Hi,
    We are developing on Oracle Portal 10.1.4.
    We are trying to use IPlanet Web Server instead of Oracle HTTP server. In such a case can Portal run with IPlanet Web server. alone ?.
    Can we eliminate Oracle HTTP Server altogether ?.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Panai.

    Third party HTTP Servers can be used with the OracleAS Proxy Plug-in. I have not done any tests with them however. The documentation states that it will enable you to integrate Sun ONE Web Server Enterprise Edition on UNIX and Windows systems, or the Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) on Windows systems.
    Oracle Portal is tightly integrated with Oracle Web Cache. This might limit the usability of the OracleAS Proxy plugin.
    More info is available in the documentation :

  • Diff between Oracle 9i database and 9ias application server.

    Can any one brief in detail the difference between Oracle 9i database and 9ias application server.

    Hi,
    Your question is the answer. Oracle9i Database manages all your eBusiness data and Oracle9iAS runs all your eBusiness
    applications. In a 3 tier architecture, Oracle9i Database fits in the Database tier where as Oracle9iAS fits in the middle
    tier. Oracle9iAS provides an infrastructure to run different types of applications(J2EE thru OC4J, Forms applns, Portal
    based applns, Wireless applns etc..)
    Cheers !

    Hi Liu,
    I'm sure other people will coreect any errors I am about to make
    (if I make any :-), but some time ago, Oracle mad a licensing
    agreement with a company called IronFlare, regarding IronFlare's
    application server product called OrionServer. After that, Oracle
    came out with a new product -- Oracle Containers for Java (OC4J)
    -- which is based on OrionServer. In the first version (that had
    the version number 1.0.2.2), the application server basically came
    bundled in the "orion.jar" file, so in order to start up the application
    server, you used a command like:
    java -jar orion.jar
    However, the next version of OC4J (with version number 9.0.2.0.0
    [go figure ;-]), contained the "oc4j.jar" file (which replaced
    the "orion.jar" file).
    So I would say that the first version of OC4J was almost identical
    to OrionServer. But I think subsequent versions are becoming more
    and more different. Remember that at the same time, OrionServer
    is also still being developed. I think the first version of OC4J
    was based on version 1.5.2 of OrionServer. The next version of
    OrionServer (that should be released soon) is version 1.6.0.
    I have no idea how similar the latest version of OrionServer is
    to the latest version of OC4J. But if Oracle's history is any
    guide, then I would say that, eventually, OC4J and OrionServer
    will have very little similarity between them. Just look at the
    paths that Oracle's JDeveloper has taken in comparison with Borland's
    JBuilder. Originally, JDeveloper was based on JBuilder. Today,
    they are two completely different products.
    Hope this has helped you.
    Good Luck,
    Avi.

  • How to move PDF file from Spool to Application Server?

    How to move PDF file from Spool to Application Server?
    Cannot use RSTXPDFT4 because that converts OTF to PDF and the file is already PDF.
    RSTXPDFT5 doesn't work. It picks the file up and assigns it a 'text' type and outputs a 1 line txt (1kb in size) on the server with the spool number in it!
    The program which outputs the file to the spool, in the first place, uses adobe forms and outputs to a printer of type PDF.

  • List of Oracle Reports run through Oracle Portal.

    Hi,
    It's possible that I am posting my message to a wrong Forum. If that's so, please let me know (and the correct forum too).
    I have several Oracle Reports that are run through Oracle Portal (when user clicks a link for a report). I want to get a list of all such Oracle Reports in one go as I need to modify all of them. At the moment, to get the actual report name that I need to modify I am following the steps below.
    When I am at 'Oracle Reports Security' page (in the Portal) where there is a section 'Reports Definition File Access',
    1. I click list icon without entering any value in the box. It shows me a list of all report definitions.
    2. After selecting a report definition, and clicking Edit, it shows me 'Manage Component' page. There are several links available. One of them is 'Edit'.
    3. I click 'Edit' and it shows me the actual 'Oracle Reports File Name'. This is the file I need to work on.
    But instead of following the above steps for each of the several reports I need to modify, is there any way, say by running a SQL query, to find out the actual Oracle Reports file names?
    The 'Manage Component' page shows 'Run Link' and links for 'PL/SQL source'. I tried to search for the schema name and package name in the database (by connecting as SYS user). However, I found neither the Schema not the Package.
    Hope my question is clear. In brief, I want to get a list of Oracle Reports file names that are run through Oracle Portal.
    Any questions, please let me know.
    Thanks and regards,
    Manoj.

    Jim,
    Did you ever try to add Reports portlet as an item, so that user can click on each item to customize/schedule the report? You can have 50 of them, if that is what you really need.
    Any reason why you want to create custom user interface, instead of using this vehicle that Portal provided by default?
    You mentioned "The report Portlet ... does not allow customization." Actually, it does. You can do it by clicking on the Customize link of the Reports portlet.
    Hope this helps,
    -Jeff

  • Help! how to check the SQL run in Oracle?

    Hi all,
    I have a problem. the developer said the SQL written in Java code are not the one executed in Oracle DB. that mean the query is some how manipulated by some PL/SQL so the final query run in Oracle is different. So can someone teach me how to check the actual SQL run in Oracle?
    Thanks a lot.
    Regards,
    Jason

    Hi Michel Thanks. But it looks like the query stored in v$sqlarea is not the final executable SQL. for example, the code in application is "select column_A from default_table where column_A = ?" and this ? will be given some value in run time. the query stored in v$sqlarea will be like "select column_A from default_table where column_A = :1"... what is this :1?
    Also if some PL/SQL procedure appends some condition to the SQL, is it possible to view the full query from database side?
    ok, let me try trace and tkprof first.

Maybe you are looking for
