Portal 6 and Vignette on App Server 7

Hi,
I'm having trouble starting Vignette MCM on Sun ONE App Server 7 with Sun ONE Portal Server 6. The problem seems to be with the cryptography provider being used. Portal 6 uses org.mozilla.jss while vignette uses SunJCE and apparently they are in conflict. If I uninstall Portal 6 I'm able to start Vignette. Has anyone been through this?
The exceptions are:
com.vignette.ccb.status.VgnConfigException: 08/04/2003 17:49:19:270, Message 026-001-0003: Failed to create encrypted password with the Java Cryptography Extensions.

I have never used Vignette. But I had the same problem on SUN ONE Portal Server 6.
Here is the solutions to get it working on Sun ONE portal server.
1. File : /etc/opt/SUNWam/config/AMConfig.properties
     Locate and configure following properly.
* Determines if JSS will be added with highest priority to JCE
* Set this to "true" if other JCE providers should be used for
* digial signatures and encryptions.
com.sun.identity.jss.donotInstallAtHighestPriority=true
* Identify saml xml signature keystore file, keystore password file
* key password file
com.sun.identity.saml.xmlsig.keystore=/opt/j2se/jre/lib/security/cacerts
com.sun.identity.saml.xmlsig.storepass=/opt/j2se/jre/lib/security/.storepass
com.sun.identity.saml.xmlsig.keypass=/opt/j2se/jre/lib/security/.keypass
com.sun.identity.saml.xmlsig.certalias=signkey
2. File : /opt/SUNWwbsvr/https-<servername>/config/server.policy
Include following permissions block.
grant codeBase "file:<path to the jar file using encryption>" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
3. Create following files
/opt/j2se/jre/lib/security/.storepass with password for keystore. This should be plain text file.
/opt/j2se/jre/lib/security/.keypass with password for signkey. This should be plain text file.
If signkey does not exist, please create it in keystore first.
Obviously if you need to use SunJCE as default provider for portal server, you can modify /opt/j2se/jre/lib/security/java.policy
to have following line
     security.provider.1=com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE
and comment out OR reassign priorities of other static providers.
Do let me know if this is of any help to you.

  • Forms and J2EE on App Server

    This is a very general question or rather request for advice.
    We currently have a system which was converted from rorms / reports 6i client server to forms / reports 10 App server. The system runs off a main forms menu, and obvioulsy the app server converts the menu and all forms into an applet when presenting it to the lient tier.
    Our next aim is to rewrite all the screens and menu in J2EE.
    My question is this: when doing the rewrite, is it possible to let the menu, forms and new J2EE application co-exists on the same system, thereby phasing out forms being replaced by the J2EE applications?

    Hi
    Thanks for the feedback.
    The following article on Oracle probably explains the advantages of Forms to J2EE in a broad overview better than I can: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10g/FormsJavaSOD.html
    (I only found the article after posting the question by the way.
    Our client is currently running Forms and Reports 10G on Oracle AS 10.1.2. Although Oracle clearly states their commitment to the future of Forms, our client feels that you can't ignore the benefits of J2EE client and middle tier applications with regards to their future business needs (especially with regards to SOA) and ease of integration with other web applications / services belonging to our client and their business partners.
    What is also disconcerting is the fact that only every 2nd version of App Server seems to be released with Forms and Reports services. At the moment our client cannot upgrade to 10.1.3.1 and leverage the EJB3 features due to that App Server version not having Forms and Report Services to my knowledge. Not sure of Oracle's reason for this.
    In the same article above, mention is made of 3rd party tools (like Exodus) from "Forms Migration Partners" which could ease this migration process. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has used any of these tools and their experiences with them. If this is not the appropriate forum for this, please advise where I can post this question.

  • High availability for Lync 2013 persistent chat server and office web app server

    I have 1500 users, need HA in primary data center and DR also. looking for HA and DR solution for persistent chat server and office web app server.
    is below correct?
    1. 2 persistent chat server in a pool of primary data center and 1 in DR.  can this be reduced or any changes?
    2. 2 Office web app server in a pool of primary data center and 1 in DR.  can this be reduced or any changes?
     also do i need HLB for both roles?

    1) In Lync Server 2013, there are improvements in both high availability and disaster recovery:
    High availability improvements: SQL Server mirroring is used to provide high availability for the Persistent Chat Server content database and Persistent Chat compliance database within a data center (in-site).
    Disaster recovery improvements: Persistent Chat Server supports a stretched pool architecture that enables a single Persistent Chat Server pool to be stretched across two sites (that is, a single logical pool in the topology, with servers in the pool physically
    located across two sites). SQL Server Log Shipping is used for cross-site disaster recovery.
    For more information about high availability and disaster recovery, see
    Configuring Persistent Chat Server for High Availability and Disaster Recovery in the Deployment documentation.
    2) for HA & DR, you can 2 Office web app server in a pool of primary data center and 1 in DR. and You will need HLB for office web app servers

    [Bootstrap module]> Problem occurred while performing synchronization.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    Neil

    Neil,
    Thanks for your persistence and for reporting how you eventually solved it.  I had precisely the same problem after upgrading our production Portal from 7.00 to 7.01.  I didn't have problems in dev or test, because we don't have multiple app servers in those environments, just a central instance.  Now it's GoLive weekend and I've been pulling out my hair trying to get the app servers to work after the EHPI process is done.  I had to do just what you suggested, about editing the bootstrap configuration manually, as changes in the config tool didn't seem to have any effect on jcontrol.  I got that solved using your solution, but that led to nearly the same problem occurring for the individual dispatcher and server nodes, once jcontrol was started.  It took a while and lot of experimenting, but eventually I figured out that they were pulling the wrong jdbc driver from their individual configuration.manager properties (accessed via config tool).  The central instance was correctly updated by the EHPI program, but not the app servers.  Annoying!
    Makes me wonder if I was supposed to leave the app servers running during the 'downtime' phase of the EHPI.  The manual, and the EHPI program, tell you at the start of the phase "shut down all dialog instances now", but then there's no indication of how these significant changes are supposed to be replicated to the app servers.  Several times I nearly escalated to a Very High priority Customer Message, but I kept unraveling the thread until I solved it, and your message here was the clue that put me on the right track.
    Thanks,
    Matt

  • SharePoint 2013 Anonymous (public) site and Office Web Apps Server 2013 issue with download.aspx

    Our organization has a public facing anonymous site in SharePoint 2013 which allows access to documents (docx) in a library.  ViewFormsLockdown is activated as we present the documents via CQWP / custom template.  We are combating the usual
    issue of multiple login prompts when using Internet Explorer when a user accesses said document.  We also have tried  using the Word Viewer (view only mode) from Office Web Apps Server 2013 which works well, but ...
    the problem stems from the fact that users can go the file menu from the word view and choose to download the document (which is what we want),  unfortunately it looks like the link redirects via /_layouts/15/download.aspx which also presents a login
    prompt. Much has been written out there about doing direct links for documents via /_layouts/download.aspx to address multiple login prompts when the document is opening in word (from IE).
    I've tried nearly every combination of recommendations (disabling client integration, browser file handling (permissive/strict), ViewFormsLockdown feature, web.config modifications with options and propfind verbs and more) all to varying levels of success,
    but never totally getting rid of the prompt.  It has been stated that because the downloads.aspx inherits from Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.Download this will not allow anonymous access.  We really want to use the word view from the Office
    web app and have the file download functionality work from the menu there ... can anyone suggest an alternate fix?  I might be wishing but will appreciate any guidance offered ...
    cheers,

  • Problems between IDE and Deployment on App Server 8.2

    I have an application that I wrote last year using JSC-EA and converted it ti JSC2-1. I can run the application on my development environment SunAppServer 8.2 with no problems.
    When I attempt to deploy it to a standalone Sun App Server 8.2 I experience the following:
    1) Login page works fine
    2) Main menu selection page works fine
    3) Results page does not display information.
    More details:
    Main Menu page consists of:
    1) a page with a page fragment that contains a menu.
    2) 3 or 4 JSF components
    Results page consists of:
    1) 2-3 JSF text components (display OK)
    2) Same menu page fragment as above (displays OK)
    3) Second page fragment that contains a table with components added under program control (does not get displayed in deployment server, but displays fine in IDE server).
    Is there ANY possibility that this can be related to migration from JSC2-EA to JSC2-1? If so, what could cause this behavior?
    Is there ANY explanation as to why the application displays OK in the IDE (same app server version as deployment) but not in the deployment server?
    ANY help is appreciated.
    Thanks,

    For future references:
    this happens to me too and I found that the cause is that the AM server you are going to configure, is already registered into the directory server.
    Try running this command (with the obvious parameters substituted)
    ldapsearch -B -T -D 'cn=directory manager' -w YOUR_CREDENTIALS -b ou=1.0,ou=iPlanetAMPlatformService,ou=services,YOUR_BASEDN -s base objectclass=* | grep YOUR_SERVERNAMEIf you found that the server you are configuring is listed here try going to AMserver console (if you have another AMserver configured) and browse to Configuration->System Properties->Platforms. If the server is here, remove it, if not, just hit Save (very important).
    If this is your first AM and is a first installation you can just get rid of the Directory Server suffix and recreate it with the Top Entry alone.

    Thanks for your help.
    how to restart OC4J home ? it shows oc4j Down
    As your means that DSA and LogLoader do not need alive.
    But I did not see it down before. some wrong?
    I got some users feedback that oracle web application could not load data from application interface and hung up.
    but we can do this job in server side.

  • Distributed transactions, EJB and Sun Java App Server

    Hello,
    I'm trying to implement a CMT Stateless EJB that inserts data into a Oracle 9.2 table. All this running into a Sun Java System App Server 8.2 and using a XA Database Connection Pool.
    Before starting bothering you, a simple question: has anybody successfully retrieved a connection from a XA connection pool? I've read somewhere that Oracle thin client is very limited and I wonder if one of its limitations would be "no support to XA transactions".
    My pool information:
    <jdbc-connection-pool connection-validation-method="auto-commit" datasource-classname="oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource" fail-all-connections="false" idle-timeout-in-seconds="300" is-connection-validation-required="false" is-isolation-level-guaranteed="true" max-pool-size="32" max-wait-time-in-millis="60000" name="MyXAPool" pool-resize-quantity="2" res-type="javax.sql.XADataSource" steady-pool-size="8" transaction-isolation-level="read-committed">
    <property name="DataSourceName" value="OracleXADataSource"/>
    <property name="ImplicitCachingEnabled" value="false"/>
    <property name="NetworkProtocol" value="tcp"/>
    <property name="LoginTimeout" value="0"/>
    <property name="Password" value="arbor123"/>
    <property name="URL" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@HostName:1521:Alias"/>
    <property name="NativeXA" value="false"/>
    <property name="User" value="arbor"/>
    <property name="ExplicitCachingEnabled" value="false"/>
    </jdbc-connection-pool>
    I created a jdbc resource called jdbc/__myxa so I can access the database pool using JNDI.
    The code:
    InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext();
    DataSource ds = (DataSource) jndiContext.lookup("jdbc/__myxa");
    Connection con = ds.getConnection();
    PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement( "INSERT INTO TESTE_CLAUDIO( MSG, MSG_DT) VALUES ('" + aMessage + "', SYSDATE)" );
    ps.execute();
    con.close();
    When attempting to get the connection, I got an exception saying that:
    "This Managed Connection is not valid as the phyiscal connection is not usable"
    Thanks for any information

    Hi Claudio,
    J2EE applications should retrieve all their resources through their component environment (java:comp/env) -- not by doing a global JNDI lookup. You should declare a resource-ref in ejb-jar.xml for the bean and then map that resource-ref to your physical data source (jdbc/__myxa) in sun-ejb-jar.xml. E.g, if the res-ref-name is "foo", your code would look it up under context.lookup("java:comp/env/foo");

  • New version of WSP added to farm, only updated on WFE and not on APP server

    I have a farm consisting of 1 WFE, 1 APP, and 1 SQL server.
    One of my developers (I know I know) needed to update their WSP. They retracted, deleted, and readded and deployed successfully. They ran their workflow, the logs on the APP server were showing traces of the old solution.
    We're thinking that it deployed properly to the WFE but not the APP server.
    The SharePoint Timer Job was restarted several times, still a problem.
    I've checked the ULS logs but nothing is jumping out yet.
    Any suggestions on what to check appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Hi Scott,
    With timer service and SharePoint Foundation Administrative web service running on the WFE servers, the farm solution will be deployed to the WFE servers which run the two services.
    So as APP server does not run the SharePoint Foundation Administrative web service, so the solution cannot be deployed to the APP server.
    You are correct, it is not recommended to run the SharePoint Foundation Administrative web service in APP server in case of just running the service applications in the APP server.
    So you need to install the solution in APP server separately.
    However if the solutions are used for web applications, you can choose to not install the solution in APP server.

    Sorry to inform you that these new features are specific to cloud Excel Web App in both SkyDrive and Office365. There is no update available for on-premise Excel Web Apps installed locally

  • Oem and app server

    Is OEM internally built as an Oracle App server. If yes, then does the performance of the oem depend on the app server's performance and tuning the app server performance will help to improve the performance of OEM ?

    Have you identified a performance problem?
    The main docu library contains a Performance Guide

  • How Web server identify which app server domain it should connect to

    Hi All,
    I have installed -
    application server and created an app server domain HR84DEV.
    Web server and created a web server domain peoplesoft
    As you all know, to start web server we need to make sure that app server has already been started so as the database server moreover hence, I have first started database instance HR84DEV then started app server domain HR84DEV followed by web server domain peoplesoft
    App server knows very well which database instance it should connect to since we mention it on app server configuraiton.
    But, How web server domain peoplesoft identifys the app server domain HR84DEV to which it is connected since we nowhere mention the name of app server domain while installing PIA but just JSL/HTTP port and host name.

    Connection between webserver and appserver is defined in the configuration.properties file to be found in
    \webserv\peoplesoft\applications\peoplesoft\PORTAL.war\WEB-INF\psftdocs\[site]
    file contains the entry
    # To enable jolt failover and load balancing, provide a list of application server
    # domains in the format of; psserver=AppSrvr:JSLport,...
    # For example: psserver=SERVER1:9000,SERVER2:9010,SERVER3:9020
    ## sd="Application Server Connect String", ld="This string embodies the failover and load balancing string for PIA to connect to Application Server domains. Consult the PeopleBooks recommendations on load balancing and failover for more information. The format is psserver=AppSrvr:JSLport where AppSrvr is your fully qualified domain name. Multiple domains should be comma separated", tip="Format: psserver=AppSrvr:JSLport where AppSrvr is your fully qualified domain name, e.g psserver=SERVER1.oracle.com:9000,SERVER2.oracle.com:9010"
    psserver=[appservermachine]:[JSL port]
    If the webserver cannot connect to your appserver, make sure you can ping the appserver and/or adjust your hosts file to reflect the appserver.

  • Office Web Apps Server Certificate For External

    Hi guys,
    I am requesting a DigiCert certificate for my environment Exchange 2013.
    Can I include the SAN name for Office Web Apps server, such as externalowa.domain.com in to the Exchange generated certificate?
    From theory wise it seems logic, but kind of uncertain.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Low.

    Hi Nithyanandham,
    Thanks for the prompt reply
    I will just list down what I did to be more clear.
    I generated a CSR from Exchange 2013 with the following
    Webmail.domain.com - for Outlook Web Access, Outlook Anywhere, ActiveSync
    Autodiscover.domain.com - for AutoDiscover purposes
    Can I include the externalowa.domain.com, which is for Office Web Apps server
    Reason is because the Exchange server and Office Web Apps server is located differently. Am I doing the correct way?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Low

  • Office Web Apps server / Lync server 2013

    Hi I have installed a Lync 2013 Server and Office Web Apps Server. Configured Lync topology, Office Web Apps farm and certificates.
    However when i start the services i get this error message in the log saying Office Web Apps discovery failed.
    Event ID:      41033
    Description:
    Office Web Apps Server (WAC) discovery failed, PowerPoint content is disabled.
    Attempted Office Web Apps Server discovery Url:
    Received error message: Invalid Uri syntax for WAC configuration
    The number of retries: 1,
    Cause: Office Web Apps Server may be unavailable or network connectivity may have been compromised.
    Resolution:
    Check HTTPS connectivity from this box to the Office Web Apps Server deployment using the discovery Url.
    I can access the OWAS server Url from Lync Server
    Connecting to the HTTPS discovery URL is working fine, and brings up the XML-page (after i click "show all content").
    The two servers are located on the same internal network, DNS resolves fine both ways, and no firewall rules blocks any connections between the two. Can anyone please help me figure this out?
    Only identical problem found online is here (Invalid Uri syntax for WAC configuration):
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/dodeitte/archive/2012/09/10/office-web-apps-server-amp-lync-server-2013.aspx
    He resolved the problem by assigning a new OAuthTokenIssuer certificate. This however did not fix the problem in my case.
    Regards
    Sverre A. Veel

    Hi,
    In addition, please make sure you have restarted front end and office web apps server after reissuing the certificate.

  • Rtf-Vulnerability in Office 2013 Web Apps Server

    I was trying to install a hotfix for our Office Web Apps server because of the vulnerability listed here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2953095
    The suggested solution is installing a hotfix (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2953095). But when trying to install it on our Office Web Apps server (Windows Server 2012), I just a message that it can't be installed on this operating
    system or for this version of the application.
    How do I install the hotfix or disable RTF content for the Word Web Apps server?

    Hi Lakner,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the hotfix cannot be installed in Office Web Apps Server 2013.
    As the articles below said, “the affected versions include Word 2003, 2007, 2010, Office for Mac 2011, Office Web Apps 2010 and Office Web Apps Server 2013. However, Microsoft said the active attacks have only targeted those systems running
    Word 2010.”
