OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 LDAP group restriction @authentication

Hi all,
We have OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 with LDAP authenticator... We want just one group @LDAP to login and other groups not authenticated .. What should we do ?

Hi,
@weblogic Home >Summary of Security Realms >myrealm >Providers >LDAPAuthenticator>Provider Specific>Users
I tried something like :
All Users Filter:(&(memberOf=cn=LDAPGroupName,cn=Users,dc=xxxx,dc=yyy,dc=com))
User From Name Filter: (&(cn=%u)(objectclass=user))
the original was:
All Users Filter: (&(uid=*)(objectclass=person))
User From Name Filter: (&(uid=%u)(objectclass=person))
and restarted the server but it did not work ...

Use of LDAP group external authentication in Essbase v7.16

Hello Experts,
One of my customer wants an answer for his query -
They currently use LDAP external authentificaiton with userid only and would like to use LDAP groups. Is this supported in version 7.1.6 (Heard that It is a known limitation in version 7.x that LDAP / MSAD groups are not supported. MSAD groups are supported in System 9.x)
My Research:
I read in the Essbase v7 documentation the following 2 examples of using groups, under Essbase.CFG Configuration Settings > AUTHENTICATIONMODULE
Can you explain how this works
Thank you
Example 1
The entries in this example allow users in the group Engineers from domain yahoo.com to be authenticated on host Gorky, via port number 389, with a timeout period of 30 seconds.
AuthenticationModule LDAP essldap.dll 30 cn=Engineers, ou=Groups, dc=yahoo, dc=com@Gorky:389
Example 2
The entries in this example allow users in the group Engineers from domain yahoo.com to be authenticated on host 129.63.140.122, via port number 389, with a timeout period of 45 seconds.
AuthenticationModule MSAD essmsad.dll essmsad.lib 45 cn=Engineers, ou=Groups, dc=yahoo, dc=[email protected]:389

I do not believe using LDAP groups is supported in 716.

OBIEE Groups - RPD Groups, Catalog Groups, LDAP Groups

Greeting Experts
I am trying to get a clear understanding of how these different groups play out in the OBIEE world. Ideally I am looking to get clarity around what the boundaries are for these groups (what they control and don't). Really appreciate if someone could enlighten me
Thank you very much.

will LDAP Group security takes precedence over Catalog Group security
Yes
when it comes to LDAP security, can it be extended to control Authorizations besides, just User Authentication ?
Basically LDAP groups are associated with the users and those groups are again associated to Application Roles so Authorization and authentication can be done using Application role rather than a group
But if you have catalog groups (default 10g security model) you can still assign application roles for those catalog group and enable the object level security (Goto Administrator ---> Manage Catalog Groups ---> select any default 10g group there you can search and add applicatoin roles)
thanks,
Saichand

Error while adding LDAP group

Hi, I configured LDAP authentication on BOXI R2 SP3 on IIS. The settings are as given below.
To change a setting, click on the value to start the LDAP Configuration Wizard. I have replaced few entries with XXXX and YYYY due to security.
LDAP Hosts: nccXXX.XXX.YYYY.XX.YY:636
LDAP Server Type: Novell eDirectory
Base LDAP Distinguished Name: ou=XXXXX,dc=YY
LDAP Server Administration Distinguished Name: cn=XXX,o=YYYYY
LDAP Referral Distinguished Name: ""
Maximum Referral Hops: 0
SSL Type: Server Authentication
Server Side SSL Strength: Always accept server certificate
Single Sign On Type: None
When I add any new group then its not added and I get below error message in the Logging directory for WCA.
Error: 2009-08-24 14:56:30, Thread:161, WriteData::_Flush catch unexcepted exception, source: System.Web, message: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.

Can anyone help to find if LDAP is configured correctly before adding group?
Thanks,

Resolved. It was due to wrong LDAP group given to me.
Thanks,

Can an email address be a member of an LDAP group even if it isn't associated with an object in the Directory Server?

Can an email address be a member of an LDAP group even if it isn't
associated with an object in the Directory Server?
<P>
General members of a group are the members defined in the
Directory Server. They are full-fledged members of the group who
may have a set of permissions associated with their membership,
a title, or other attributes. Mail-specific users are users who
are not full-fledged members of the group, but who receive mail
sent to the group. Mail-specific users need not be identified as
a user in the Directory Server--an email address is sufficient.
An example of this is a group of salespeople, all of whom are in
the group "North American Sales Team." They have access to a
sales-tracking database, on-line quota information, and
competitive information. The mail-specific users of this group
are the admins who support the members of the sales team, who need
to get the mail that goes out to the group, but don't need access
to the applications and information that the salespeople do.

Hey EllyK,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
I would suggest performing this workaround and then try to login to BlackBerry Link:
Open BlackBerry World on the BlackBerry smartphone and sign in using the BlackBerry ID.
Connect the BlackBerry 10 smartphone to the computer.
Open BlackBerry Link
Sign in using the BlackBerry ID.
Let me know if the issue still persists.
Cheers.

Mapping LDAP Groups to SAP Roles

Hi there,
i am trying to build up a synchron usermanagement with a LDAP-Server between EP, Web AS Java and Web AS ABAP.
My thought is to administrate the users in the LDAP-Directory. The users will be assigned to groups.
In EP and Web AS Java its no problem to assign these groups to roles and then just change the Users in the LDAP-Group and reach a synchron usermanagement.
In Web AS ABAP it seems impossible to assign roles to groups.
<b>The question is, is it possible to map ldap groups with the ldap connector of the web AS ABAP to Roles in an ABAP System?</b>
Or is there another way to administrate users in different systems?
Thanks alot for your answers,
stefan

Hi
in this case u have to use the concept of central user administration. use the following links
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/events/asug-biti-03/cua with sap webas, ldap and third party software
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/events/sap-teched-04/user management and authorizations overview.pdf
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/nw/dotnet/integration of sap central user administration into microsoft active directory.pdf
hope this helps u to get fair bit of idea
don,t forget to give points

Timeout querying LDAP groups from BPM Workspace Administration page

I already configured my server to use Active Directory instead the Weblogic embedded LDAP to users authentication in the BPM Workspace.
When I go to [Weblogic Console / Security Realms / myrealm / Users and Groups / Groups] the console shows correctly all the AD groups after a 20 secs aprox, but when I try to assign some group to a role using the BPM Workspace Administration menu, the app only show users in the search pop up, if I search usign "All" or "Groups" filter I always get this error:

LDAP groups and WebLogic Roles - Urgent ( weblogic 6.1 sp1, iPLanet 5.1)

I have 2 questions and these are very urgent :-
1. Where the mapping can be defined between LDAP groups and WebLogic Roles. I have
2 groups in iPLanet :- Contarctors and employees and I have 2 security roles in weblogic:-
contractactors and employess. How do I map LDAP group contractors to weblogic security
Role contractors? Similarly for employees ?
2. I have not defined contarctors and employeees under People container in IPlanet.
e.g. The RDN for contractor is
uid=1234,ou=dir,dc=orams,dc=com
Can I still use the defualt security realm of weblogic (the WebLogic Security Realm
under People ) OR I have to write my own custom code ?
3. I am planning to use Roles insetad of groups to manage the logical grouping in
iPLant. Can I still use the groups in WebLogic security realm ( in the configuratin
parameters ?)
This is very urgent ....so if any of you can throw any hints that will be greatly
appreciated.

Hi Ariel,
The driver is bundled with the product in WLS 6.1sp1. you don't have to
download any additional driver. Use it as you normally would only thing to
remember is if you are trying to write standalone java code then you have to
have weblogic.jar in your classpath. For the rest of the info follow the wls
docs for 6.1

RSA authentication with LDAP group mapping

Greetings,
I'm trying to set up RSA authentication with LDAP group mapping with ACS Release 4.2(1) Build 15 Patch 3.
The problem I'm having is that my users are in multiple OU's on our AD tree. When I only put our base DN in for User Directory Subtree on ACS, it fails with a "External DB reports about an error condition" error. If I add an OU in front of it, then it will work fine.
As far as I know, you can only use one LDAP configuration with RSA.
Any thoughts on this?

@Tarik
I believe your suggestion is the only way i'm going to get this to work. I ran across a similar method just this week that I have been working on.
I was hoping for dynamic mapping with the original method, but I haven't found any way to make it happen. I have resorted to creating a Radius profile on the RSA appliance for each access group I need. Using the Class attribute, I then pass the desired Group name to the ACS, i.e. OU=Admins, and that seems to work.
Thankfully, I have a small group of users that I am attempting to map. I will only map those who need elevated priviliges to narrow down how many profiles I will have to manually create. Likewise, our Account Admin will have to determine who gets assigned a particular access group.
I would still prefer to do this dynamically.

LDAP Groups Authorization

Hi,
I have read some of the forum threads about LDAP Group Authorization - I remain confused. Here's the problem I am trying to solve.
I was successfull in setting my Authentication to "Based on authentication scheme from gallery:Existing Login Page: Use LDAP Directory Credentials" -
That works fine, But I would not like all users in my OID LDAP directory to log into my application- Which is why I have created a group for the user I want to include in my OID directory.
Now at the " Builder->Application...->Security->Authorization Schemes->
I have created an Authorization Scheme as "PL/SQL Function returing a booloean" .
My Scheme Source(Identify Query or PL/SQL) is as follows and is set to "once Per session"
return wwv_flow_ldap.is_member
(:APP_USER,
null,
'cn=users,dc=wellesley,dc=edu',
'jadeland.wellesley.edu',
'389',
'wcd_HTMLDB',
'cn=portal.040323.1220,cn=Groups, dc=wellesley,dc=edu');
where in my LDAP directory, 'wcd_HTMLDB' is the subgroup under group "portal.040323.1220" -
I have included 3 users in the group 'wcd_HTMLDB' .
Still the login page allows all LDAP user ( and not just the 3 from the 'wcd_HTMLDB' group.
Where did I go wrong -?
What 's the proper way to authorise only LDAP users in a group ?
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks .

Indira,
The public synonym (and grant execute) must be created after that package is compiled which can happen after catldap is run in your database. This is only a problem if catldap has not been run before HTML DB is installed. That's described in the flows/doc/ldap.html file in the distribution directory (not very prominently, we know).
When you initially attached the authorization scheme to your login page and it wouldn't let you in, the reason is that it was using the value of APP_USER to drive your lookup function. But when the login page is rendered, APP_USER is null because you haven't logged in yet. So a user-based authorization scheme on a login page can never work.
When you changed the ldap username edit function the way you did, you achieved the goal of preventing an unauthorized user from using the login page to authenticate. Looks like the way it's set up is to give unauthorized users an authentication error, which is a little misleading (saying their credentials are invalid when in fact they are valid but they aren't authorized to use your application), but if it suits your purpose, great. You should consider that if you change the authentication method to, say Single Sign-On, you'll then want to use authorization schemes to keep unauthorized users out. So the authorization scheme that you first set about using would be fine in that case, so long as you adjust the code to allow for visits to public pages prior to authentication (v('APP_USER') = 'HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER'). However, you'd want to attach that scheme to the application itself (Edit Application Attributes->Authorization) so it fires on every page. Evaluating a scheme like that on every page view rather that once per session probably works best, even better if you cache the result of the evaluation yourself for performance reasons, e.g., set an application item to some value the first time the authenticated user passes the ldap membership test, then using that item as an 'already passed' flag for subsequent invocations.
Finally, I assume you are using the built-in ldap_dnprep function because you need to replace '.' with '_' in the username value entered by the user. If that is not your requirement, let's talk.

Cannot Add user to CMC Group when they are a member of LDAP group

On PreProduction Server CMC
Softerra LDAP browser used to verify user is a member of LDAP group
User does not show as a member of that group in the CMC
Cannot add user to LDAP group showing in CMC, the same group shows the member in LDAP browser
On Production Server CMC
For kicks I logged into the CMC on Production and I found the user is correctly showing as a member of the Group
Why doesn't the groups in CMC show what is actually showing in the LDAP browser?

Hi,
Check if you have also mapped in both servers the same groups. It might be that there are some groups missing in the Pre-prod.
Also, try restarting the CMS. I have seen similar issues that are solved after forcing the recreation of the graph.
If after the restart you still can't see the groups, check the mapping on the LDAP server. It might be that both servers do not use the same attribute mappings.

Julian

Webcenter dicussion forum - Ldap Group Integration with JSSO

Hi,
We want to implement LDAP Group integration for the authorization purposes in
webcenter Jive Disucussions deployed in our IAS 10.1.3.2 application server.
Though jive provides support for the same, yet the JIve documentation says
that we need to implement the JIve's LDAP User authentication steps in order
to leverage LDAP Groups integration. In case of Webcenter if we use Java SSO
for the authentication purpose, we need opt for the 'Default' in the Jive
Admin's authentication page instead of LDAP settings. Opting for 'Default'
scheme doesn't allow us to configure the LDAP group settings. We are not able
find any documentation for LDAP Group Integration along with Java SSO. Could
provide us the steps required for the same? Or has anyone tried the same?
Thanks and Regards,
ABhijit

Hi Abhijit,
You can ignore 'Default', and implement your own user authentication mechanism, which can include LDAP group settings. You will have to follow:
- OC4J security documentation for using Java SSO in your own implementation (I think this is the right link - confirm the version numbers - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32110_01/web.1013/b28957/javasso.htm#BABEJFDI)
- Jive documentation for implementing user authentication

Hi Guys,
We have a requirement to build the following functionality in our Sun IDM tool.
1.     Ability to create/manage Static LDAP group.
2.     Ability to create/manage filtered LDAP group.
3.     Ability to create/manage Static LDAP roles.
4.     Ability to create/manage filtered LDAP roles.
Can anyone let us know any pointers as to how to accomplish this or any ideas for the path to follow for this.
Any reply will be appreciated.

Ldap groups

Hi,
I have 5 roles and each role selection should provision user to a seperate ldap group + a default ldap group.
How can i achieve that...
dn: cn=group1,ou=people,o=domain,o=com
+ dn:cn=mail,ou=people,o=domain,o=com
Where cn=mail is common for every role selection. I have a variable temp which generates group values based on role selection and i am mapping it in identity template. i think that will provision the user to one group. How can i provision the user to the default group.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Here is one suggestion:
Edit each the role using the admin pages under the Roles Tab, you will see
a section called Assigned Resources, where you can set resource attribute values.
Here you can override the ldapGroups attribute for your ldap resource.
ldapGroups is a List, so you want to add a specific <s>cn=...</s>
string to the existing ldapGroups list. This seems to work well and no xml editing required!
The effect of this will be that different dns will get added to the ldapGroups
variable, depending on which role gets assigned to the user.
Does that make sense? hope this helps.
As for the default dn (cn=mail...), you can either do it the same way (but call a rule rather that replicating the dn 5 times for each resource), or put that into the userform
that gets invoked.
I'm not sure if I explained this well enough, I hope this helps,

LDAP Groups Performance

I am planning LDAP authentication for a portal and am looking at assign LDAP groups to portal roles to ease user administration because there will be a signifigant amount of users.
I've done this before with smaller amounts of users, but have heard concerns that with a large amount of user accounts, that authentication would take too long and would pose a problem. I don't know for sure if this is true and will be trying to test this out.
Would appreciate advice / experience / references if available.
Regards,
Tom

Hi Thomas,
I don't think this is a problem if directories are properly tuned.
Infact we connect to AD having 80k users and it works perfectly fine. But remember that your LDAP should be tuned properly and may be you can have indexes too.
