5.3-SP12 CUP-SMTP Server-Redirection URL

Hi experts,
I've configured the SMTP server by setting the Applicattion URL : Configuration>Workflow>SMTP Server, but there is another field: Redirection URL that I have not full-filled.
Which is the functionality of setting the redirection URL at the SMTP Server?
Many thanks!

It's two different URLs:
- you will need the SMTP server (which is not a URL but a host name, i.e. "mail.yourcompany.com")
- you do not need the redirect URL if you don't do SSO

CUP SMTP server error

Hi Experts,
I have a problem configuring my SMTP server in GRC CUP 5.3 .
As you   guys have already noticed its has a couple of extra fields in 5.3 than to 5.2 in the SMTP pane where you save your server name
error : " Action failed. An unknown error occurred while performing the operation."
But I tried configuring this in 5.2 and it worked fine!!!
Should I be filling the additonal fields like System email ID , application URL ,redirection URL etc.
Please see the log below

Hi Alpesh,
I was able to resolve the same issue MK reported by adding dummy URLs in the Application URL and Redirection URL fields in SMTP config.   Thanks for the tip!
However, this seems to introduce a new problem in URL links attached to the e-mail notifications sent to users/approves, etc.
For example,
I enetered http://ercp1xxx:50400/AE/ in the Application URL and Redirection URL fields which allows me to save my SMTP configuration.
When the users received e-mail notification of the status of their request, they will get a link automatically attached to the end of the e-mail to allow them to check the status. For example,
http://ercp1xxx:50400/AE/index.jsp?loadRequestStatusSearchClosed.do.....    If the user copy and paste this link to a browser, they will be able to go to AE to check status.
However, if they click on the link provided in the e-mail, the user will be directed to a link like below which is not a valid address and users will get error message.
e.g.http://ercp1xxx:50400/AE/=http://ercp1xxx:50400/AE/index.jsp?loadRequestStatusSearchClosed.do
It looks like the URL I defined for App or Redirection for SMTP was appended in front of the URL generated for e-mail notification.
Do you know how to fix this issue? I can not leave the App or Redirection for SMTP config blank otherwise I can not save my SMTP config.    Can I change the link that automatically entered in the email,for example,
from http://ercp1xxx:50400/AE/index.jsp?loadRequestStatusSearchClosed.do
to index.jsp?loadRequestStatusSearchClosed.do ?
Then when the Application URL combined with it the link will work?   Of course this may introduce a different problem that the link showed up in the e-mail may not look correct either.
Many thanks for your help.
Regards.

CUP 5.3: SMTP Server

Good day Chaps.
Is it mandatory to have a MS Exchange mailbox created and the email name maintained in the Enter Email Notification Sender in CUP > SMTP Server?
If not, how will CUP send out the CUP Request email notifications? The AC5.3_Config_Guide does not mention anything on the topic.
Regards,
M Hannie

Dear all,
I've setup the SMTP server information, and CUP is sending emails to notify approvers of pending requsts. However I have a few issues with this screen.
SMTP Server has been entered and has saved
I had tried to put in URLs for the Application URL and the Redirection URL. The values I had entered were not correct and so now, the link that is sent to the approvers doesn't lead them to the correct CUP screen. This is my first issue - what is the correct information that should go into these fields?
The second problem is that if I try to delete this information, and then try to save it, I receive the following error:
Action failed. An unknown error occurred while performing the operation
Upon checking the logs, I notice the following:
2009-11-19 13:16:21,495 [SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_3] ERROR com.virsa.ae.configuration.actions.SMTPServerNameAction
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
From this error, I can make out that it is being generated because I tried to remove the incorrect URLs that I had entered.
Have you seen this problem, and if so, how did you fix it?
Thanks,
Santosh Krishnan

Configuration error when saving SMTP server

I am configuring CUP 5.3 (SP06). When I put in our SMTP server, I get the following error:
" Action failed. An unknown error occurred while performing the operation. "
It looks like this screen was changed with SP06. I am not filling out anything under "Enter Email Notification Sender" or under "Application URL" (which seems to be new fields).
Here is what the log says:

Hi Peggy,
This is a known bug in AC 5.3 SP6. SAP has added fields for administrator email address, application URL and redirection URL. Even though application URL and redirection URL do not show up as manadatory fields but they are required to save the configuration. To get pass through this error, just provide anything in those 2 textboxes with some dummy email address in administrator email address textbox. You should be able to save it now.
This is being fixed in SP7 which should release somewhere around end of March.

JSP bug? url.openStream() = server redirected too many times

I tried something the other day that works in Java, so it should work as a JSP scriptlet, but I received an error message that others have posted elsewhere without a compete resolution. Specifically, given a URL, say u, one ought to be able to do u.openStream() and eventually read the remote page. Typically, one might want to try
URL u = new URL("http://someserver.com/path/file.xxx")
BufferedReader bfr = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(u.openStream()))and then read bfr line-by-line. The problem that seems to be fairly common is that the openStream() call throws a ProtocolException claiming "server redirected too many times (20), ."
What I've seen is that this exception occurs whenever the URL is outside the Tomcat server whence the call is being made; in our case, we're running "out-of-the-box" Jakarta Tomcat 4.1.29 on port 8080 of a w2k server. The code works perfectly in native Java and in JSP for a URL of the form "/anotherpage.jsp"
Is this a bug in JSP, or in our version of Tomcat, or is there just some configuration parameter that needs to be changed from its default? As I said, I've seen similar posts (with less detailed analysis) in the Usenet newsgroups, but not one has generated a response that explains and resolves the matter.
Perhaps a JSP guru out there could set the record straight? Thanks.
P.S. I know that the use of scriptlets in JSP is being discouraged, but they are still supported AFAIK.

Sure scriptlets are still supported. Most times though you can do things better with a custom tag. Why reinvent the wheel?
Just as a suggestion, you might try the JSTL <c:import> tag.
It basically does just this behind the scenes.
However I don't think that will help you in the end - it will probably hit the same error message.
My guess would be that the problem is not caused by java/JSP as such, but by a firewall, or configuration somewhere.
The following works fine for me (ignoring broken images of course)

Ume.logoff.redirect.url

Hi All,
I'm trying to use the ume.logoff.redirect.url parameter to redirect the Portal to a predifined destination. However, it doesnt work, the Portal just redirects to the opening page. I've also set the ume.logoff.redirect.silent parameter to false.
I was hoping that someone would be able to post an example of the correct way to input a value for this parameter, as i've tried many different forms, and none of them seem to work.
I'm developing in EP6.40, sp12.
Thanks in advance
Rav

Hi Robert,
Sorry, you misunderstood my post, my fault.
I've tried the url before, at an earlier date, and it didnt work.
I was asking you if the url that I posted was in the correct form, because, if it is, then I have to try something else, as it doesnt work.
I always restart the server everytime I've made changes.
Cheers
Rav

IMS 5.2: smtp server hangs

Running on Solaris 8, the smtp server seems to hang every few days, with the result that mail for my site ends up being hung up for hours until we restart the process.
Is this a known bug?! Any way to fix it?
It doesn't make iMS a very attractive solution for an enterprise that relies heavily on email.

Hello,
I know that there has been a number of fixes on solaris as well as NT since Feb dist. Here is what I have of the bugfixes, there may have been more since this hotfix. If you have a license you should be able to ask sun support for the latest hotfix.

HTTP Submit to SMTP Server (to send completed PDF copy) - possible?

I've read various blogs re: HTTP Submit and the requirements of a web service, servlet, jsp, etc. I was wondering if was possible to setup an HTTP submit button to point to a mail server to send a copy of a completed form to a specific email address? So basically, making use of the SMTP protocol.
Instead of relying on the form user's email client (or internet email service) to send the email containing the completed PDF form, the HTTP submit button will point to a SMTP URL (of some sorts) that has been set up with the recipient’s credentials. The SMTP server would just relay the file to a designated email address of the recipient’s choosing. Not sure if SMTP’s severs will allow this due to the potential of sending SPAM from their server.
I know all of this is possible via making the form Reader Enabled and setting up a regular email submit button, but the problem is the user must use an email client, or log into their internet email account in order to submit the form. Was just wondering if there was simple workaround? Also, the problem with using POST is that only the data is posted, which means additional steps of re-combing it with a form copy is required.
So, is the SMTP “concept” even possible? Or, is this only possible via web service, response objects, etc.?
Thanks in advance.
Shaun

Carmine,
to use SSL, you will need to first create/purchase an SSL certificate. This can be done in Server Admin -> "servername" -> Settings -> Certificates.
Next, simply set SMTP and/or IMAP to use SSL in Server Admin -> Mail -> Settings -> Advanced -> Security.
HTH,
Alex
P.S. Buon Natale a Te.

When I add an opendocument login token, it wipes out my parameter/prompt response in the Redirect URL

I am having this issue and I wonder if anyone has any pointers?
When I send the URL with the single prompt response &lsSPrompt0=1234567 it works fine but I have to login to InfoView.
So I created a login token .jsp and that took care of the login for InfoView, but it also killed my prompt value.
The code that I got from another site that does the same thing I WANT to do seems to create a cookie to store the passed prompt value in, then it creates a login token, then it assembles it all in the redirect URL and sends it to the openDocument.jsp.
The login token works like a champ, but the prompt value (initially passed in to the cookie as "Prompt0") ends up passing from the Redirect URL to the openDocument.jsp with a value of NULL (lsSPrompt0=NULL).
In my lack of knowledge, I am thinking maybe it has something to do either with how the cookie is being created, how it is being passed, or how/if it is getting stored at the target. The cookie/token.jsp and the openDocument.jsp are in different folders on the same domain.
So, I pass this URL:
http://server:8080/InfoViewApp/token.jsp?&lsSPrompt0=1234567
The token.jsp that it hits looks like this:
So, the redirect winds up hitting the target looking like this:
http://server:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?token=logonToken&iDocID=45227708&sKind=FullClient&lsSPrompt0=NULL&NAII=N&buttonrefresh=hide&buttonexport=hide
Obviously, my problem is this: lsSPrompt0=NULL
Any pointers or nuggets of wisdom are GREATLY appreciated?
Also of note, I wasn't sure if I needed to publish this token.jsp as a Webapp to Tomcat.
I just placed the .jsp file in the folderTomcat5.5/webapps/InfoViewApp (same location as the client who has it working).
Do I need to publish it? Is that part of the problem?
I am a little out of my realm here but trying to learn!
We are on BOXI R2, Tomcat 5.5, JAVA, and I am having the same behavior on my personal XI 3.0 server too
Thanks in advance,
Randy

I believe it's storing the info in a cookie so that it can be used later. You don't mention which version of BO you're using, but I've sometimes found that the logon tokens created in 4.x contain special characters and may need to be URL encoded. Also, I've found that it helps to put the logon token at the end of the URL after any parameters instead of in the middle before the parameters.

Getting Warning about Redirection url

Hi,
we have the the portal application running on the weblogic 11g and upon login, home page of our app is loaded, but I do see the following warning message on the portal server logs. Any idea how we can supress this warning?
<Warning> <netuix> <BEA-423420> <Redirect is executed in begin or refresh action. Redirect url is https://<servername>.arccorp.com:443/PortalApp/ARCGateway.portal?_nfpb=true&_st=&_pageLabel=ARC_Home&_nfls=false
Thanks
sravi

Hi Sravi,
I am not sure if this is your situation or not, but hopefully it could be helpful for you.
It is not supported for a remote pageflow portlet (WSRP producer) to redirect from its pageflow begin or refresh action. Because of this limitation, WebLogic Portal logs a warning when any portlet's pageflow attempts to redirect from either of these two actions.
It is legal to redirect from these actions if the portlet is not a WSRP producer. If this is the case, Oracle has added a utility method that can be called prior to the redirect which can suppress these warning messages:
- Class: com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.content.PageflowLoggingHelper
- Method: public static void dontLogRedirectWarning(HttpServletRequest req)
Calling this method from the pageflow's begin or refresh action prior to the redirect will suppress the Netuix redirect warnings.
Thanks,
Cris

Form Based Authentication Redirect URL

I'm using form based authentication in standalone OC4J 10.1.3.1. I have set the system property oc4j.formauth.redirect to true to force OC4J to redirect using 302 any successful authentication to j_security_check.
The problem is that the redirect URL loses any query parameters. Here's the raw HTTP being posted:
POST http://localhost:8988/manage/j_security_check HTTP/1.1

However the response back drops off the query parameters:

Any workaround?

It does not appear to be quite the same issue. That bug indicates that everything works fine in a standalone OC4J environment. This would be true with the use case specified as the original URL (/em/console/ias) does not include any query parameters. In my case the original URL contains query parameters so the ultimate redirected URL should also contain those.

Redirect URL rewriting in WLS8.1 and WLS9.2

Hi,
I am looking for help to solve the redirect URL issue for the following configuration:
A hardware load balancer sits between the web clients and a weblogic cluster (one managed server at this moment, will add more later). The web clients use HTTPS to access the server; the load balancer converts the HTTPS to HTTP and then forwards the request to weblogic cluster.
The problem I am trying to solve is, when a redirect is sent back to the web client, it should be in HTTPS and use virtual host name, not the actual host name which sends the redirect response.
I've tried the "frontend host" parameters in the admin console; but could not see any effect. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Harry

Problem solved by configuring the webapp to send relative (instead of absolute, which is the default) redirect URL back to the web client.
Thanks.

WebAuth Redirect URL Duplication

Hello
I have WLC2106 with sw 4.2.205.0 and have enabled webauth, such that any users first attempt to connect to the internet will be intercepted as expected.
This works fine if going direct to a link with NO proxy, and it works fine if adding ":8080" to the end of the url as well.
I have the following problem though if I specify a proxy server in my IE settings (IE7).
I go to open a web page
http://192.168.1.1
get redirectected to
https://10.1.1.1 of the WLC, correctly so, however, the actual URL appears like this:
https://10.1.1.1/login.html?redirect=192.168.1.1http://192.168.1.1
so, once authenticated, which works fine, the redirect will try to pass the user to the website
http://192.168.1.1http//192.168.1.1 (note the obvious duplicate in the address, but also the missing : in the second url)
This does not happen when the proxy server setting is turned off and I have put the WLC virtual address in the proxy bypass list.
I have also tried both with and without an address in the "Redirect URL after Login" text box.
Has anyone experienced this, or, does anyone have any idea what it might be?
Thanks in advance
Anthony

So the portal woks, but the user goes to their page on their iPhone. Have you tried to add the redirect in the HTML code instead? I have not had problems the way you have it setup on the wlc. On the iPhone are you using the browser to log in or are you joining the SSID and letting the iPhone pop up the login.
Thanks,

Send mail without local SMTP server

Hey guys,
Are there any API packages, that one can use with Java mail API to encode a mail to SMTP and send to receipent mail host directly. (without using a local SMTP server)
I am not talking abt bulk mailer packages. Just an API package that we can program to.
Appreciate your help guys
thanx !

Ex: I want to write a simple SMTP client.
But i don't want the user to have to input a smtp server address.This is similar as if you wanted to write a simple browser - without wanting to bother the user to provide the URL's to browse!
There is no "default mail host". Can not be generally - the network situations can be considerably different. One box is a standalone one with maybe a modem link, the other is on a LAN, the third one is a multi-address host itself bridging a LAN and a WAN etc.
De nada.

How To Turn On the IIS SMTP Server?

I have the IIS SMTP server installed in my PC. While testing to send e-mails using the JavaMail, I can see that messages do not reach the server.
I have never used the IIS SMTP server before. I think the problem is that the server is not running (I could be wrong). How do I turn on the IIS SMTP server?

My IIS SMTP is running because
1. I typed http://xp-jenc-c/ in the browser and I am connected to the Windows XP Professional (http://xp-jenc-c/localstart.asp) and it says that 'Your web service is now running.'
2. On my desktop screen, I click on the IIS. And then expand the XP-JENC-C (local computer) node. Right-click on the Default SMTP Virtual Server. I can see 'Start' is grayed out. Only Stop and Pause are the available choices.
However, messages cannot reach the server. It is hanging after I submit the mail message. Here is the code of the msgsend. java:
import java.io.*;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.Date;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
