XI Http Header

Hi Experts,
for testing purposes I would like to export the entire message that is exchanged between the Adapter Engine and the Integration Server.
This should not only include the SOAP Envelope, SOAP Header and the payload but also the Http Header including Content-Type, sap-xi-mesageid, SOAPAction, sap-r3-auth, sap-passport.
Does anyone have an idea where I can get these information from and how to access it? The ideak solution would be if I could download alll this information in a file...
Thanks an best regards,
Sebastian

Hi all,
I can see the Message with SOAP-Header and SOAP Envelope as well as the payload in sxmb_moni and RWB, true. But what I cannot see there is the sap-r3-auth or the sap-passport, can I?
If its there and I just did not see it pleae let me know in which sections I need to look closer, otherwhise I will be happy to get new proposals...
Thanks and Regards
Sebastian

SSO to other apps via HTTP header variable

We are on NW EP6.0 SP16. We need to add the "user id" as http header variable so that other apps which are non SAP can access our header variable and log on with that user id. Is this available by default? Or we want to achieve this how best we can achieve this.
We can use the code to get the user id and add it to header variable. If we use this route which is the jsp page we need to add the code?
Thanks

Hi,
we can you login modules provided by SAP to accomplish this.. you can use header variable authentication login module to acheive your requirement.
please refer: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8f/ae29411ab3db2be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Hope that helps.

Single-Sign-On (SSO) configuration on JAVA Stack through HTTP Header method

Hello SDN community,
in the context of a Proof of Concept, we are testing the integration of Microsoft Sharepoint Portal with SAP Backend (addin) systems.
As the architecture impose use an external scenario (access from the internet), we couldn't use the Kerberos (SPNego) solution and thus we chosed the http header solution which in short uses an intermediary web server (in this case the IIS of the MOSS solution) which will act as authority.
I miss information on how the workflow works for this http header authentication method. Through the visual administrator of the addin JAVA stack, it is possible to configure each application with a customized authentication (a choice of security modules). But this all that I know.
My task is to configure SSO. From a sharepoint portal, the user should be able to access Web Dynpros and BSPs. I imagine that the very first call to a webdynpro or bsp (or maybe when we log on the sharepoint portal), the request to the WDP or BSP will first be forwareded by the intermediary server to the JAVA stack (or is it the SAP dispatcher that has to be configured).
Is there an application to be built on the java stack to deal with the authentication, modify http header?
What will the Java stack return? a sap long ticket? a token?
How will the redirect work (to by example a BSP which is in the ABAP stack)?
SAP preconise to secure with SSL the link between the intermediary web server and the JAVA stack, is IP restriction also a solution?
A lot of questions about how this SSO http header should work,
I would be very greatful for any help, or info,
Kind regards,
Tanguy Mezzano

Hi Tanguy,
to tell you the truth I'm really unsure about what you are trying to achieve. When I started posting to your thread I thought all you wanted was trying to access your J2EE engine via Browser and authenticate against the engine using HTTP Header Variables. Nevermind:
Here are some answers to your question:
in fact I did succeed, the problem was that even after domain-relaxation done by the J2EE, I had to change the domain of th SAP cookie to the bbbb.domain.com to be understood (I would have thought that all hosts in/under domain .domain would have accepted such a cookie but it seems that no...).
The server does not care about the domain because Cookies in an HTTP Request do not contain any domain information. The domain is just important when the Cookie is set by the server so your Client (Browser) will know in which cases the Cookie may be sent or not. So if your domain is xxx.yyy.domain.com and your cookie is issued to .domain.com then your Browser will definitely sent it to all hosts under .domain.com (This includes xxx.yyy.domain.com etc.)
My current scenario is: in a first request get a SAP Logon Ticket from the Java Stack, then change its domain and then directly call the backend with it.
You can do that but there is no Client involved in this scenario. So this is useful if you just want to test the functionality (e.g. authentication to J2EE using Header Variables (This works finally!!!) and then use the fetched Logon Ticket to test SSO against any trusted Backend!!)
So everything's is in a Java Client application without using any redirection.
If I understand you, you're solution is from the Browser call a servlet (which is deployed on the Java Stack and has no authentication schema) by passing to it our http header.
No, you should initially authenticate somewhere! I thought that maybe you had some resource you access before accessing the Java Stack. This could be any application (e.g. deployed on a Tomcat or JBOSS or other server or if you like even SAP J2EE). After authenticating there you are aware of the username and could use it to procceed (e.g. Authenticate against the J2EE using the same user and HTTP Header authentication for that particular user!)
That servlet will transfer the http header (with the HttpClient app) in order to get from the Java Stack a SAP Logon ticket, and then to redirect to the resource and by sending back the cookie in client browser. Am I correct?
This was just a suggestion because I realized that there was no Client ever involved in any of your testing (looked strange to me!). I was just thinking that it would be easier for you to just get the Cookie into your Browser so your Browser would do the rest for you (in your case finally send the Logon Ticket Cookie to your Backend to test SSO using Logon Tickets!).
The AuthenticatorServlet somehow serves as a Proxy to your client because your client is not able to set the Header Variable. That's why I initially suggested to use a Proxy (e.g. Apache) for that purpose. The problem is just that if you use a Proxy you will have to tell it somehow which username it should set in the Header Variable (e.g. using a URL Parameter or using a personalized client certificate and fetch the username (e.g. cn=<username> from the certificate!)
This way of doing would simplify the calls for sso for each new application needing authentication, instead of having all code each time in it...
I'm stuck again! Do you want to authenticate an End User or do you want to authenticate an application that needs to call any resources in your Backend that requires authentication?
So my problem now, is how to call the servlet from the client browser:
I'm trying to call my servlet from the browser but I don't succeed. I am able to understand how to reach a jsp from the Java Stack, but not to reach a servlet. I don't find the path to my servlet:
<FORM method="POST" action="SSORedirect2" >
A JSP is a servlet too. There is just no JAVA Class involved!
You do not need any POST Request to invoke a Servlet.
I see that my servlet is deployed, but I don't how what path to give to my form to invoke the servlet, here follows my web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app (View Source for full doctype...)>
- <web-app>
<display-name>WEB APP</display-name>
<description>WEB APP description</description>
- <servlet>
<servlet-name>SSOredirect2</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.atosorigin.examples.AuthenticatorServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
- <servlet>
<servlet-name>SSORedirect2.jsp</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>/SSORedirect2.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
- <security-constraint>
<display-name>SecurityConstraint</display-name>
- <web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>WebResource</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
- <auth-constraint>
<role-name>DefaultSecurityRole</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
- <security-role>
<role-name>DefaultSecurityRole</role-name>
</security-role>
</web-app>
If you have an AuthenticatorServlet Class all you need is to add the Servlet Mapping in your web.xml file
e.g.
<servlet>
<description>
</description>
<display-name>AuthenticatorServlet</display-name>
<servlet-name>AuthenticatorServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.atosorigin.examples.AuthenticatorServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>AuthenticatorServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/AuthenticatorServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
You can directly call the Servlet in your Browser by calling the URL provided in the url-pattern of your Servlet mapping ( in this case /AuthenticatorServlet). The engine will invoke the Class "com.atosorigin.examples.AuthenticatorServlet" in the background and do whatever you defined there!
I have also to pass my http header and the redirectUrl in the GET request.
If you like! I just suggested this for testing purposes. As I stated before you need a way to tell your proxy (or in your case AuthenticatorServlet) which user should be set when calling the Engine in order to authenticate using HTTP Header. You could use the URL Paramater to define the user you actually want to use when you set the Header Variable.
I just introduced the redirectURL because you were talking about redirects all the time. So if you finally want to call the Backend you could define the Backend URL in the redirectURL Parameter and the Servlet will make sure that you are redirected to this location after the whole process!
Thx for your input very helpful,
But again 0 points

What happens to the HTTP header parameters I put there?

Our tool puts some parameters into the HTTP header. But, it appears that the Dispatcher is not passing them to the WAS. Could this be?
Is there a way to tell the Dispatcher to not drop our HTTP header stuff? Perhaps a configuration setting? I didn't find any.
When I set a break in my servlet running on NW WAS, I see:
referer:
Cookie:
etc.
but I don't see the parameters we put there.
This is the NW SneakPreview download.

Hi Farokh,
I think there should be much problem passing parameters through the Url. I am sorry however that I have not worked much on the Servlet but on WebDynpro, which I can share with you if its of any use to you.

How do I set the Http Header POST URL in SAAJ?

Hi ,
I am a newbie in the field of web services. I was trying to create a SOAP request with Http Header POST information having a POST url like
the following:
POST /OMASTI.xml HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="eladeladeladeladeladeladeladeladelad"; type=text/xml; start=11814460
Content-Length: 54596
Host: unspecified
SOAPAction: ""
to that effect I did the following in the SAAJ client:
MimeHeaders md = message.getMimeHeaders();
md.setHeader("SOAPAction" ,"\"\"");
md.setHeader("POST" ,"/OMASTI.xml");
However what I got was :
POST / HTTP/1.1
Accept: text/xml, text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2
SOAPAction: ""
POST: /OMASTI.xml
Content-Type: multipart/related; type="text/xml"; boundary="----=_Part_2_32124414.1153146262750"
Content-Length: 3352
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
User-Agent: Java/1.5.0_07
Host: www.google.com
Connection: keep-alive
I have two POSTs in the header. How do I fix it? Please Help ASAP.
Regards,
Zeus

Hi,
Please forgive my ignorance. I did the same as you said. and then checked the Http request being sent out using ethreal software... it was the same as I had told earlier. Is only POST supported by the connection object? And the does the URL that comes in the Mime header as POST refer to the URL to which the request was sent? what I mean is that if the mime header says
POST /OMASTI.xml HTTP 1.1, does it mean that the URL that was passed to the connection object was "/OMASTI.xml" ? I had given the url as http://www.google.com to test the request being sent.. I only have a sample SOAP request which shows a HTTP header with the post url as I said before. I need to create a SOAP request with the same sort of Http header and the body needs to follow a certain OMA-STI protocol. My experience in the SOAP domain is almost nil. So please enlighten me.
Thanks in advance,
zeus

SSRS web services 401 if you pass "Authorization" http header

We use both SSRS 2008 R2 and 2012. When i access a report using url access (direct ssrs server hit) and add a "Authorization: Bearer xyzelkalklsjsdfalsjdf" http header, i get a 401 from somewhere in the request pipeline. I have a custom httpmodule
registered at the top of the chain which does some OAuth related security checks. But when this header is included, the request never reaches the httpmodule. If i change the header slightly ex: "YAuthorization: ljlxzcvc..", then the request reaches
the httpmodule and everything works. So obviously SSRS is looking for a particular header named "Authorization" and does something with it. Point to note: we have implemented a custom forms authentication module and we are doing some rich authorization
using the extensible ssrs api.
Now my questions are:
1. What is happening here? Who is acting on my request before my HttpModule registered on top in ssrs\reporting service\web.config gets it?
2. How do i ensure my httpmodule executes before whatever component is terminating my request with a 401

Sorry if this sounds like I am new to this but I am.
So, the extended version is the format that would be used if you were not utilizing the files that the wsdl2java function creates?
And this is done to when you want more flexibiility for the user to call your service?
So, you would push to have the stub files used when you want to control how the web service is used?
thanks for the feedback.

Error in setting up HTTP Header Variable Authentication

Hi,
I am trying to set-up SSO for SAP Biller Direct aplication (deployed on SAP J2EE 7.0) using HTTP Header variable authentication.
As per SAP documentation I have created a new login module "HeaderVariableLoginModule" pointing to class "com.sap.security.core.server.jaas.HeaderVariableLoginModule".
Then I have added this new login module to Statck "Ticket" and the new config looks as below. HTTP header when UID is passed is USI_LOP.
Name                                                                                Flag                                            Options

                                                                                Header=USI_LOP

CreateTicketLoginModule                                                                 Optional                                         ume.configuration.active= tue

The problem I am now having is that the authentication through HTTP_HEADEr does not work. Even though I ahve increased the trace level for JAAS module to debug, there is not any type of information generated in the log.
Each time I call the Biller Direct URL from the extrenal web server which also passes the HEADER variable for Authntication, the authrisation just fails and I am being shown a Logon Screen to pust UID/PASSWORD.
Can someone please guide me, how I can debug this? There is very no information whether anyone tried to login with HEADER varibale and that has failed...
Also, I am not pretty sure whether I am using the right Authentication Stack, which is is Ticket in my case..
But when I enter the application without any URL redirects and enter UID and password directly for Biller Direct, I get the following in log file, which makes me believe that I am using the right stack.
LOGIN.OK
User: CONDLG
Authentication Stack: ticket
Login Module                                                               Flag        Initialize Login      Commit     Abort      Details
1. com.sap.security.core.server.jaas.HeaderVariableLoginModule             SUFFICIENT ok          false      false
2. com.sap.engine.services.security.server.jaas.BasicPasswordLoginModule   OPTIONAL    ok          true       true
3. com.sap.security.core.server.jaas.CreateTicketLoginModule               OPTIONAL    ok          true       true
4. com.sap.security.core.server.jaas.EvaluateTicketLoginModule             SUFFICIENT ok          false      false

Any help will be very much apprecated..
Thanks,
Vikrant Sud

Vikrant,
The reason why it is not working is because your login modules in ticket stack are in wrong order and with wrong flags. The first one should be EvaluateTicketLoginModule with flag=SUFFICIENT, then the Header Variable login module, with flag=OPTIONAL, then CreateTicketLoginModule with flag=SUFFICIENT, then BasicPasswordLoginModule with flag=REQUISITE, and lastly CreateTicektLoginModule with flag=OPTIONAL
Thanks,
Tim

Any way to get HTTP header in web dynpro Java?

Is there any way to get HTTP header in web dynpro java? This method gives me the params. Is params same as header? It doesn't have any way to retrieve header data. I am on NW 7.0.19
WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("param");

Dear Faraz,
I'm afraid the code you've pasted is only to retrieve URL parameters.
Have you tried this document to see if it offers any good hint:
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0446f5c-fcb9-2910-e082-88becbe3ddc9]
Not sure if you can process the HTTP header with a WD4J.
An alternative could be to develop some Portal component in plain JAVA working as a proxy to call your WD4J afterwards.
That portal component would process your HTTP header and forward any parameter to your WD4J.
But this is me just guessing.
Kind Regards

How to Set UserId in Http Header for SSO?

Hello All,
I have a requirement to set the userid into the HTTP Header so that i can use the "Header Variables for User Authentication" module provided by SAP to achieve the SSO .
Could some 1 let me know how can I achieve this? I know abt the HTTPServlet.setheader() method, But i need to set it using my JAVA application. Is there any way to set the HTTP Header using Java. I have already done a lot of googling, but havent got any results.
I am sure that, there must definitely be a way in which we can add the user id into the HTTP header, in all the results, they tell abt adding it using the HTTP Servlet or PHP and so on, but i need to add it from JAVA.(setting REMOTE_USER as "mysapuserid")
I have already added the "HeaderVariableLoginModule" in my login stack in the 2nd position, as per
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8f/ae29411ab3db2be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Any pointers will be helpful,

OIF11g - Help on sending user attributes in HTTP header

Hello, I have a OIF11g setup configured for both IdP and SP. Upon successfull authentication against LDAP, I need to end some user attributes on the HTTP header to the SP application. I do no have OAM in my setup, so there is no option of Webgate or Policy Manager to do that. As far as I read the config doc, I'm in the impression that we need to write a custom authentication engine to accept user credentials and code to authenticate against LDAP and also add attributes to the response header.
Before I go down that path, just wanted to confirm if anybody has done this with OIF?
Thanks,
Sunil.

Bernhard:
Actually the headers are not set to null. I have an intermediate index.jsp page which is the first page that is redirected to by the AM - it is this page which calls my LoginServlet.
The value appears consistently on this index.jsp page but after it is forwarded to the LoginServlet it starts behaving inconsistently. I check the system.out log in my websphere /logs folder and that tells me that LoginServlet does not consistenly get these values from the header.
The wierd part is that if I use cookies or attributes, it works perfectly - each time every time. However, only in the case of headers (which is the method i am required to do) it behaves inconsistently.
ANY feedback/help on this would be really appreciated bern.. thanks..

Which OAM setting for passing values in HTTP header to application

Experts, what is the setting in OAM 11gR2 that is set to pass a userid pulled from a LDAP directory (which is already configured with OAM) as a HTTP Header to an application.
This is typically in cases where OAM is protecting or providing to protected resources on a Web Server or application.
Is this setting (in OAM) by default set to userid? I wanted to know exactly where and how to set this value in OAM Console settings.

In the protected resource policy and protected authorization policy in the responses tab set parameters to return headers for example if you want to return userid under name set header name like user_name, type header and the value as $user.userid. By default I guess OAM_REMOTE_USER is set in the http headers which contains the user id.

OSB Http Transport Custom Authenticatiion (X509 in Http header)

Hello!
I'm trying to solve this case. We have F5 Load balancer that terminates SSL Connections From client to the OSB. When terminating the SSL, the LB adds the clients certificate into headers of the Http request going to OSB.
OSb proxy service is configured to use custom authentication with token type X509 (only choice in the OSB console).
What happens when I send the request to OSB, is that I get http code 401 (unauthorized) this error on server log:
####<Sep 27, 2011 3:08:05 PM EEST> <Error> <WliSbTransports> <appserver02> <MANSERV02> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'> <<anonymous>> <> <> <1317125285598> <BEA-381327> <Transport-level custom token identity assertion failed

The HTTP header sent to OSB is in the messages below.
It has also been wihotu the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE lines with same results.
Can somebody help me in:
a) Should the certificate be sent in what form from LB to OSB.
b) How should the OSB/WLS be configured for this to work?

Not necessarily. Although direct HTTP request to WebLogic is redirected to HTTPS enabled port, you can still use this settings with WebLogic plugin. I'm not aware of your deployment, but I use Apache plugin for WebLogic, terminate SSL on Apache and I'm still able to send requests authenticated by certificate from client through HTTPS.
I don't know about F5, but I guess there should be similar feature as well.

ESB requires "SOAPAction" to be set in HTTP header?

I'm trying to insert an ESB flow between an existing web service and client. The service and client were previously built with Apache Axis.
By generating an appropriate WSDL (doc/wrapped rather than Axis' default RPC style) for the existing service, I'm able to connect the ESB to the service.
The problem is that the existing client (built using Axis) sets the SOAPAction in the HTTP header to empty (SOAPAction: ""), and the ESB appears to require this to be set to the desired operation. If this is a hard requirement, then I can't directly connect the existing client to the ESB flow.
So, the question is whether it's possible to have the ESB relax the requirement for the SOAPAction header. And if so, how?
If I can't get the ESB to accept SOAP requests with an empty SOAPAction, then I'll have to create a custom adapter or insert an additional proxy layer (yuk). Anyone else have any suggestions?

This is all done automatically by FB.
Just to try something out I just now made a simple app with a label only and tried to upload to Google... FAILED!!!!
"Market requires versionCode to be set to a positive 32-bit integer in AndroidManifest.xml"
LOL, FB can't even create this. :-/

External Web Service - User and password in HTTP header

Hi!
How is it possible to add user and password in the HTTP header in a external web service call?
I have created a "Portal Service from WSDL file - Client side" with the wizard in SAP Developer Studio. I following the Java Development Guide - Web Service Security, and use the <i>secured service connection</i>. I have also created a new <i>System Landscape</i>, but should the new system be based on HTTP, my own PAR or what?
How can I check that the user and password is added to the HTTP header or the SOAP envelope? Do I have to scan http traffic with a proxy as Paros or can I find the request sent from SAP EP in the logs?
Cheers

Hello All,
I have been struggling a bit while putting a reasonable security framework on a jax-rpc style web service. I'm using JWSDP1.2 to set up the webservice. I've tried to outline my problem below. Please correct me where I'm wrong.
I've been through the Sun's WS tutorials, but they are not really clear on security. However, from them I surmised that there are two decent authentication techniques. HTTP Basic and mutual authentication (MA) . Both have their drawbacks though. HTTP Basic suffers from poor encryption while MA is a bit difficult to set up on both client and server sides. Another problem with MA is that there is no central repository for users/passwords.
OK, what I would really like to do is use my own user database to verify users/passwords i.e. use a HTTP Basic like authentication (but at application level) but run it over SSL for encryption. It seems simple, but is it possible?
Also, I have noted that when I use HTTP Basic on the service side, and use a java client, then setting username/password has no effect. In other words, I can always access the web-service, even with wrong username/password.
Sorry for the long post. Hope someone can help. Thanks.

How to delete server information in http header?

Hello,
how could i delete the server information in the http-header?
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
connection: close
server: SAP J2EE Engine/7.00 <--- this here

Hi,
the solution is to set the value for UseServerHeader to false.
This can be done from the VisualAdmin for the HTTP service of all servers + dispatcher.
Thanks for the support

Problem setting Unicode (utf-8) in http header using tomcat

Hi:
I am trying to set a file name in utf-8 to http header using the following code:
response.setContentType("text/html; charset=utf-8");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=解決.zip");
// I actually has file name in utf-8 here to set to the header, and I know that the name is correctly
// and I also looked into the response object MimeHeaders object and saw the head is correctly there
then write the content of zip file using ServletOutputStream.
The problem I have is that the file name is not displayed correctly when prompted to save or open in the pop up window next. I found out using Fiddler that the request header is wrong:
Content-disposition: attachment; filename=�zn��.zip
I am using Tomcat 5.0.28. Any idea how to get this working?
Thanks in advance!

You are setting the charset for the content to be UTF-8. (That is why the method is called setContentType.) But HTTP headers are not part of the content and so that has no effect on the header.
The original specification for HTTP only allowed US-ASCII characters in headers. It is possible that more recent versions have features that allow for non-ASCII header data, but I don't know if that is the case or how you would use those features if they exist.
