Access Manager Policy Agent and Oracle AS

Hi,
my system uses Oracle Application Server. The security dept use Sun Access Manager. I need to integrate the security of the Oracle system with the policy agent. Where this gets a little confusing is that one of my developers tells me that this is difficult to implement and that Sun arent planning on supporting the Oracle AS in future.
What I would like is some clarification from the horses mouth so to speak. In particular is it possible to integrate the policy agent and Oracle AS, and are Sun committed to supporting and developing for this.
Thanks,
Andy.

"Where this gets a little confusing is that one of my developers tells me that this is difficult to implement"
"it is NOT an implementation but an integration ! difficult ? why ?"
"and that Sun arent planning on supporting the Oracle AS in future."
There is a PA 2.2 for Oracle 10g ! It is the latest version(2.2 I mean). I don't see any reasons why Sun should not continue. But it is ONLY my point of view...
"What I would like is some clarification from the horses mouth so to speak. In particular is it possible to integrate the policy agent and Oracle AS, and are Sun committed to supporting and developing for this."
Of course it is possible because you can find the PA that will integrate your Oracle AS with a Sun AM.
1) Please read the documentation.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1322.1
Download the one for Oracle and read also the user guide.
PA are very easy to integrate if you know what you do... Espec. und. the AM auth and sso... If you can be helped by a AM guy from your comp. it is welcome... It is a j2ee agent and of course the PA will make what is necessary to redirect you to AM at login time and later to auth. your request...2)
2) Download the soft and do the job :-)

I did plenty of int. with Sun/Bea/Tomcat AS(don't forget there are also webserver agents like Apache PA) with AM and it is not a big deal. Not Oracle, but it is an AS and I don't see why it should be difficult...
Hope this helps a bit.

NSAPI in Access Manager & Policy Agent

Hi all,
May I know is it possible to use NSAPI to be a communication channel between policy agent and access manager?
I have installed Sun One Web Server together with policy agent, access manager is installed in another machine.
I've looked through all related documentation but could not find NSAPI for policy agent or access manager.
Thanks in advance!

Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2

Hello
Has anyone experienced the error noted below. This is occurring after Access Manager has validated the
user and redirected the request back to the agent on the protected box.
PolicyEngine: am_policy_evaluate: InternalException in Service::do_update_policy with error message:Policy query failed. and code:6
PolicyAgent: validate_session_policy() status: Access Manager policy service failure (6)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Are you using a 2.1 agent ? If yes are you using a custom Authentication module ? try setting the com.sun.am.policy.am.library.loginURL if needed. Also check for valid certs if you are using ssl

Need asssitance on openSSO/Access Manager-policy agent on tomcat 5.5

I'm asking here because there is no help from openSSO forum.
I know that openSSO is quite the same with java access manager,
so I assume that openSSO is identical to java access manager.
I'm very much new to the policy agent and I've tried to test it for my own web application, but it doesn't seems to work.
Here is my situation :
I'm using 2 servers:
1. server using windows XP, installed with tomcat 5.5 and opensso inside (acts as openSSO server).
I set the IP to be 192.168.0.3 and tomcat web server will be listening on port 8080
2. server using windows XP, installed with tomcat 5.5 and my web application inside, and the policy agent.
I set the IP to be 192.168.0.1 and tomcat web server will be listening on port 7070
my web application is named "akademis" and I can acess it with the usual method on address http://192.168.0.1:7070/akademis.
I install the policy agent on global web.xml of tomcat configuration and I don't change anything on web.xml of my application.
when I tried to acess the http://192.168.0.1:7070/akademis , I wa redirected to openSSO login page correctly and I entered username and password(username:amadmin). I passed the login page and being redirected to the page that I wanted, but it doesn't do correctly cause I got a HTTP message of 403 (forbidden).
I got some clue in the policy agent logs :

I think the reson that I failed is not in the openSSO/java access manager, because I get passed the login page, and also in the amFilter log of the policy agent I see an error of "No URL is available at this time" .
Is there anyone can help me on this problem ? I'll be very glad if somebody can help me.

Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 for Oracle 10g

I Installed AM Policy Agent 2.2 on Oracle App Server 10g (10.1.3). After install I don't get the redirect to the AM login page. The agent does not appear to be activated. When I restart the Oracle App server I expect to see logs entries from the agent in <agenthome>/logs/debug, but I don't get any log entries.
The agent was installed as oracle (same as the 10g server).
Entries in the 10g global application.xml for the agent:
ibrary path="/opt/AMAgent/j2ee_agents/am_oracle1012_agent/agent_001/config">
</library>
<library path="/opt/AMAgent/j2ee_agents/am_oracle1012_agent/locale">
</library>
<library path="/opt/AMAgent/j2ee_agents/am_oracle1012_agent/lib/agent.jar">
</library>
<library path="/opt/AMAgent/j2ee_agents/am_oracle1012_agent/lib/amclientsdk.jar">
</library>
AMAgent.properties settings:
com.iplanet.services.debug.level=message
com.sun.identity.agents.config.filter.mode = URL_POLICY
My goal is to protect all apps with SSO and basic url policies.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? missing?

Hi,
have you added the agent filter for the application you are trying to protect
<filter>
<filter-name>Agent</filter-name>
<display-name>Agent</display-name>
<filter-class>
com.sun.identity.agents.filter.AmAgentFilter
</filter-class>
</filter>

Chaining Access Manager Policy Agents

Hi,
Can we chain access manager agents, so we can pass the authentication details on to other apache server web agents.
Step 1 - to configure a reverse proxy which uses the Access Manager & Agent to authenticate (This works ok)..
The reverse proxy directs to a Secure Global Desktop (SGD) server which i want to use the above authentication.
Step 2 - get the SGD server authenticating with Access Manager and the Apache Web Agent (this works ok).
Step 3 - My question is can the web agent on the back end SGD server use the authentication credentials from the initial Reverse Proxy Access manager log in?
This is what i am seeing at the moment.
- I login to the reverse proxy via Access Manager and it then picks a back end SGD server.
- It then looks like the Access Manager sits there trying to connect to the SGD server.
- When it times out the URL in the browser is a bit confusing.. Its https://<sgd server>:<reverse proxy port> The port should be the sgd server port.
It looks like the AM credentials and environment are ok (iPlanetDirectoryPro and REMOTE_USER).. because after it times out trying to connect to the sgd server with the wrong port number, I change this to be the correct SGD server address in the browser, and it automatically logs in like in Step 2 above.
So my question really is can the authentication details provided at the first level apache web agent be passed down to other apache web server agents running on other servers?
Any ideas.
Thanks,
Carl

Policy agent and normal portal logon on one portal

We run a shared portal infrastructure and want to use multiple logon methods for accessing ESS MSS portal applications.
Is it possible to logon via Policy Agent and with normal sap poral logon to the same application?

We have 3 bespoke types of SSO logon methods, JAAS, SAML and PKI.
This means users can logon via our bespoke SSO solutions or via the normal SAP standard delivered logon method with UID and password.
Currently we are investigating if we can also implement the Sun policy agent as logon method for the Poral and WAS. It should run in parallel with our current solutions without harming them.

Oracle access manager - Policy domain - Return Type

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to return few LDAP parameter values through Policy domain while redirecting. But the return type should be propertytype and not headervar or cookie. This is SSO integration with websphere using JAAS subject. We have inhouse TAI connector developed for integration between websphere and oracle access manager.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
OAM can return any type that you want, and OAM will set the name/value for that type - you can put "propertytype" in the type column, and the name and return attribute in the respective fields. "Cookie" and "HeaderVar" are the only types used by OAM WebGates, but your AccessGate (custom in-house connector) should be able to retrieve the values of propertytype that OAM sets.

Colin

How to manage coexistance of IIS policy agent and sun-passthrough from AS

We have an ISS 6 with Policy Agent 2.2 and on same instance we have the sun-passthrough plugin installed to redirect certain pages to an Application mounted on Sun App Server 8,2. We need to apply policies to requests to those pages before redirection is done but seams that passthrough plugin is taking precedence over Policy Agent. Therefore, policies are not evaluated and all traffic is passed. PA agent is installed as a wild card and passthrough as an ISAPI filter. We do not see a way to change priority (already set to HIGH) for the passthrough plugin. PA has the option on amAgent.properties and we set it allready to HIGH. Any hint?

Policy Agent and WebMethods Portal

Hi,
Is the PolicyAgent required to authenticate users and control the access to resources ?
If yes, can we use the PolicyAgent/AccessManager with any server like for example WebMethods Portal ?
Thanks,
Adel

Thanks for the reply, Shivaram. The issue appears to occur at random time, not accurately at the 3 min interval as you mention. I tested changing this value to 1, theoretically, after one 1 minute of idle time, accessing a link would make the agent reset the time idle value for the user session in SAM, but it didn't even after 3 minutes. This seems to be either a policy agent or system access manager bug.
We performed a 'vanilla' test using the apache server manual pages (only plain HTML, no POST requests), the pages are protected by the policy agent. At the first login, rwe were prompted to enter credential to be validated by SAM/LDAP, and then a user session is created in SAM session table. We browse around the manual pages, once in a while, certain pages cause the policy agent to reset the time idle. However, revisiting these links after a few minutes doesn't reset the idle value. Caching setting has been disable as well. Could there be or lack of some settings in AMConfig.properties or AMAgent.properties that might have caused this behavior?
Thanks for all your help,
