ADF security at runtime

Hi All,
Is there any posibility to edit resource grant at runtime in adf applicatoin deployed on standalone weblogic with LDAP configured.
based on this blog i guess i need to edit system-jzan-data file.
here is detailed senario
app role created abc
enterprice role xyz (name same as user group in LDAP) mapped it to abc.
provided resource grant for task flow A for grp abc.
now requirement is to edit permission of the task flow and add one grp of ldap user which is not created as enterprice role in jzan-data.
same goes with ldap users also.
i have woked on WCP and i know we can do it there adding users and ldap grp to application role at runtime but never understood what is happening at backend.
please guide me to correct documents to understand it.
thanks

You can look at https://oralublog.wordpress.com/2013/11/17/adf-tutorial-how-to-map-roles-to-user-when-logging-in/
which does hire to work with permissions at runtime.
This second blog http://donatas.nicequestion.com/2012/05/using-jmx-data-control-in-oracle-adf-to.html?m=1
shows hire to do this via jmx.

Changing the URL runtime of an ADF secure page bypasses security

Hi All,
I created an application in ADF-BC-JSF (Jdeveloper 10.1.3.3) and introduced ADF security in it as discussed in Frank's Blog
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/1013/adfsecurity/adfsecurity_10132.html.
I have defined 2 roles, Role A and B. Now if Role A user (User1) logs authentically in the application, and then changes the URL in the browser to some other page of the application, the application loads him the respective page but not for the same User1. It loads the page for some other user (first record in the database) in the same Role A. Now as the User1 is authenticated and authorised under Role A, he can do anything to this user's information.
I dont have any idea why is it so nor I am able to come up with any workaround. Any links or help will be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Neeraj

Hi,
I dont know if you meant this but I checked USE_APPLICATION_VIEW_CACHE and it was set to true. I also checked the SRDemo application(user lpopp) and tried accessing some different page at runtime in the URL. It too went on the wrong page for some other user (dfaviet) and then I created one SR for that user. Here, unlike my application, It did not create the SR and the page got refreshed with proper user first. I couldn't figure out why my application is allowing to create the Record.
However, I would like to mandate the user to navigate through the pages only through application. If he changes anything in the URL, he must be redirected to the Login/Error page.
Please guide me how should I approach.
Thanks,
Neeraj

How to integrate a SSO based in cookie with ADF Security

At work they asked me to integrate a existing SSO based in cookie with the new ADF + Jdeveloper 11g + WLS. After google for days and read a lot of blogs and official documentation I've made a custom LoginModule. I made it very simple, it's just an "if" inside the login() function with the username, if the username is "john" I put to the Subject some Principals. My steps are:
1- Create a new app based on "Fusion application" template.
2- Make a new ADF Taskflow with only one view inside (the entry point of the taskflow). The jspx only contains a welcome message.
3- Run the ADF Security wizard, all the steps with the default option, I don't change anything.
4- Put some users and some roles in jazn-data.xml, and maping them to an application role. Then I grant permissions to the application role to view the previous task flow.
At this point everything is ok. I run the taskflow and a basic login popup prompts me to write my username and password. Now I try to remove everything useless for me, like idstore, credentials, anonymous, etc. I only want a LoginModule that get the HttpRequest and passes it to an already done class that returns a true/false depending if the cookie is correct or not but, as I said before, my LoginModule is so simple now and even didn't try to do something more complicated than an if. The steps I try are:
in jps-config.xml
5- Remove idstore.xml and credentials.
6- (loginmodule tab) Make a new login module, and put here my class. The class is in the ViewController project and JDeveloper find it navigating through the heriarchy, so I have visibility. I put REQUIRE flag, add all roles and debug mode.
7- In the security context unmark the idstore.loginmodule and mark myLoginModule. Also delete the anonymous security context.
All that I got until now is a 500 error (Internal server error - Authorization Exception). Sometimes (the close i've ever been to do something correct) the browser ask me for user/password but then only recognizes the users that already are in WLS (idstore from previous tests), but NOT the "john" user that is inside my custom LoginModule. Even more, if I run the WLS from JDeveloper 11g in debug mode, the runtime never stops at breakpoints inside my custom login module. It seems that my LoginModule isn't deployed or I made some error maping the roles.
So, my questions are:
- I'm in the good way? If I want an authentication based in cookie/httprequest I have to do a custom LoginModule? My goal is to do a re-usable code, and re-use the code that my co-workers have done. They have a class that with only the HttpRequest determines if a user is logged or not.
- If I'm in the good way... how can I put my custom LoginModule in the WLS? I tried to search something in the Administration Panel (localhost:7101/console) but I did'nt find nothing.
- In case I'd got the custom LoginModule working fine in WLS... how can I get a HttpRequest from a LoginModule and avoid the username/password dialog? I've to make a filter and pass it to the my LoginModule? If it's correct... how?
I don't post my code because is so simple, it's based on DBTableLoginModule but without all the database access code.
Thanks to all!
P.D.: If this message isn't in the correct forum, I'm sorry. Feel free to move it.
P.D.2: Sorry about my english, I'm spanish. I know i've to practise a lot :)

Hi Frank,
Thanks a lot for your answer. Just one more easy question: what I need to do is a custom Authentication Module (which will read the cookie)? If only you can point me to the correct chapter of the WLS documentation I'll be very pleased.
In future releases of JDeveloper will be easier to do this kind of things related to security?

Migrating ADF Security to WLS using OID

I have seen a number of posts on this forum regarding deploying an application which has ADF Security enabled to a stand-alone WebLogic server, but none of them seem to address the following.
I have an application in JDeveloper which uses an XML-based identity store and policy store. I have a stand-alone WLS which is connected to OID. I am trying to migrate the credential store and policy store to the OID configured for my stand-alone WLS. The various blogs and OTN articles mentioned frequently in this forum regarding ADF Security address configuring OID in WLS, as well as how to migrate security to XML-based providers on WLS. However, I have not seen any information on how to migrate security to OID in WLS. I have a few questions in particular:
1) JDeveloper online help has limited information for modifying the jps-config.xml to have a destination context, service instance, and service provider for LDAP (OID). It has configuration parameters for “JpsFarmName” and “JpsRootNodeName”. What are these used for, and what should the values be?
2) Does the jps-config.xml file need to be modified in WLS (i.e. <Domain>/config/oracle/jps-config.xml)? Is this file even used at runtime by WLS?
3) How does WLS know to use OID for obtaining credential, identity, and policy information instead of system-jazn-data?
Any information on this topic would be very appreciated!
Thanks,
Erick

Hi,

Oracle ADF security integration with Oracle E-Business Suite SDK JAAS

I have an Oracle ADF 11.1.2.2 application that is using ADF security for authentication and authorization.
When we deploy this application to our JDeveloper integrated weblogic server, we utilize the security setting of "Custom" and use weblogic users and roles to map to the ADF application roles. In that environment our security is working properly.
I have a Weblogic 10.3.5 standalone server that has the ADF runtime installed as well as the Oracle E-Business Suite SDK JAAS implementation installed.
When I deploy the Oracle ADF application to the standalone weblogic server, I am directed to the JAAS login page when I attempt to access any JSF page (including those that I have granted View access through the anonymous-role. Does the Oracle ADF anonymous-role work (allow for anonymous page access) when JAAS security is handled by the Oracle E-Business Suite SDK JAAS implementation?
Per the SDK instructions, when we install the Oracle ADF deployment on Weblogic we have selected "DD only" for our security setting. We have defined enterprise roles in the Oracle ADF security setup (jazn-data.xml) that are assigned the appropriate application roles. Those enterprise roles have the same name (i.e. UMX|YOURROLE) as the E-Business Suite roles that are assigned to our test users. When we login with an E-Business Suite user / password we are receiving an error:
Error 401--Unauthorized
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.2 401 Unauthorized
Any thoughts on why that would be?
Thanks
Dan

Thanks Juan.
With the debugging options enabled it appears the issue is not an issue with the user / role credentials - it seems like the resource grants from jazn-data.xml are not being reviewed in my standalone weblogic instance EAR deployment:
[JpsAuth] Check Permission
PolicyContext: [TestApp]
Resource/Target: [untitled1PageDef]
Action: [view]

2. JpsPrincipal: oracle.security.jps.internal.core.principals.JpsAnonymousRoleImpl "anonymous-role" GUID=null DN=null)
When I access the same page from my integrated weblogic server I see:

When I review my EAR - I do see jazn-data.xml at:
/META-INF/jazn-data.xml
I will review the system-jazn-data.xml to see if the policy information has been migrated properly as part of the EAR deployment.
Thanks.

Error when trying to see pages in webcenter app with adf security activated

Greetings
I have this problem
I developed a WebCenter Application that uses ADF Security with form authentication. This App has
two JSPX the first one is the login page and the second one is the page where i manage runtime created pages
using the CREATE PAGE task flow and a page tree iterator to see my created pages.
when i deploy de application on the weblogic server i am able to login successfully and create as many pages as
i want and also see them using the link generated. the problem is that when a delete the application from the weblogic
server, i mean the deployed application, then redeploy the same application on the server i can login again and
see the pages i created before but when i try to reach them i get this error showed in my internet browser:
Error 401--Unauthorized
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.2 401 Unauthorized
The request requires user authentication. The response MUST include a WWW-Authenticate header field (section 14.46)
containing a challenge applicable to the requested resource. The client MAY repeat the request with a suitable Authorization
header field (section 14.8). If the request already included Authorization credentials, then the 401 response indicates that
authorization has been refused for those credentials. If the 401 response contains the same challenge as the prior response,
and the user agent has already attempted authentication at least once, then the user SHOULD be presented the entity that was
given in the response, since that entity MAY include relevant diagnostic information. HTTP access authentication is explained
in section 11.
Does anybody now what kind of configuration i am missing or what is happening?
thanks for your help

this issue has a solution showed on the this thread Re: ERROR when trying to see pages created with create page task flow

When i entered my username and password it shows an error as 401 - Unauthorized.
Dont know where i went wrong? pls help me.!

How to define permission in ADF Security programmatically

Hi
I try to develop an application in ADF and I need to declare Application-Role, Permission, Principal programmatically and store them in policy store.
I found an example in chapter 19 of E10043-12 but it just creates Application-Role!! . I need know how can I detect my TaskFlow, PageDefination and other resources of my application at RunTime to protect them after deployment through a custom security console. In other word i try to find a way in which i store my pageDef or TaskFlow name in database or detect them programmatically in runtime and Grant Permission to my users or enterprise role for access/denied to my application pages, TaskFlow and also if possible entities and their attributes.
[link to chapet 19 of E10043-12|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/core.1111/e10043/intregrating.htm#BABECICC]
Thank you so much

Hi,
you can configure WLS to use the database as the policy store, which then means that you write permissions to the database infrastructure. However, you should be able to update the default file based policy store or OID based store as well
For database OPSS store See: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15586_01/core.1111/e10043/cfgauthr.htm#CHDHAIBJ
I am not sure if OPSS supports direct updates to the policy tables. Here's a blog post of how to update policies with WLST scropts: http://enterprisesecurityinjava.blogspot.de/2010/03/ok-more-details-here.html
Bottom line is that this is less a ADF Security question than a general WLS/OPSS question of how to administer policies using a custom interface. For this you can use WLS MBeans and WLST script, which is my understanding.

GOTCHA's with Setting up ADF Security with JDev 11.1.1.6.0

If you're getting into ADF security, you're probably going to want to get rid of that ugly default login.html page. I mean, it gets the job done, but we want something a little better. And if you want something a little better and you're using JDev 11.1.1.6.0, it behooves you to read this post!
First off, get acquainted with these four posts. All good stuff. They'll walk you through the 1st half of what you need to know. Y'know, the non-Gotcha half.

Are you getting either of the following errors?
<CodebasePolicyHandler> <migrateDeploymentPolicies> Migration of codebase policy failed. Reason: {0}.
oracle.security.jps.JpsException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: oracle.security.jps.internal.core.principals.JpsAnonymousRoleImpl
Error 500--Internal Server Error
java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot find FacesContextI'll show you where they're coming from. Follow along.
1) Create a new application.
2) Create three .jspx pages called login, error, and welcome.
3) Generate PageDef files for them by right-clicking on the file and selecting "Go To PageDefinition". You'll want these so that you may apply security against them.
4) Right-Click on your Application and select Secure->Configure ADF Security
5) ADF Authentication and Authorization -> Form Based Authentication (Use the search symbol to select your created login and error pages. Should be something like "/faces/login.jspx") -> No Automatic Grants -> Finish
Right-Click your welcome.jspx and select run. You'll get this error before your web page opens up in your browser and then proceeds to wig out.
<CodebasePolicyHandler> <migrateDeploymentPolicies> Migration of codebase policy failed. Reason: {0}.
oracle.security.jps.JpsException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: oracle.security.jps.internal.core.principals.JpsAnonymousRoleImplThat just won't do. Let's fix it, shall we?
6) Open your newly JDev created jazn-data.xml file. It's located in the Application Resources panel (usually located by Data Controls and your Projects expandable panels)
7) Resource Grants -> Resource Type (Web Page dropdown) -> error page should have a key symbol by it. Delete the anonymous role in the "Granted To" column. Now click the green button to add an Application Role. Huh, there's TWO of them? How bout that? Looks like we're going to have to delete some XML code!
8) Click the Source tab on the bottom of the page to open up the XML View. You'll see the following piece of erroneous code. Erroneous, I say!
<policy-store>
    <applications>
      <application>
        <name>SecurityError</name>
        <app-roles>
          // Hello, I'm the app role that has sucked away two hours of your life that you can never, ever get back
          <app-role>
            <name>anonymous-role</name>
            <class>oracle.security.jps.internal.core.principals.JpsAnonymousRoleImpl</class>
            <display-name>anonymous-role</display-name>
          </app-role>
         // Whew, the end of that app role
        </app-roles>
        <jazn-policy>
          <grant>9) You're going to want to delete that app role XML
10) Go back into your jazn-data.xml file and create some users. For example, bob and jane. Create an Enterprise role called "admin". Put bob and jane as members into this Enterprise role. Create an Application role called managers. Map managers to your Enterprise role admin.
11) Go back to the Resource Grants tab -> Resource Type (Web Page) and delete any "Granted To" authorizations that may assigned to any of the pages. Assigned a "Granted To" application role of "anonymous-role" to the error and login pages. Assign "managers" to welcome.
12) Run your welcome page. Yay, the error is gone. How sweet it is.
Now you want to refactor/move your login and error page somewhere else? Great, just right-click and select factor. Refactor to some place like /public_html/jspx/<your login page>.jspx. Re-run your welcome page.
// You fool!
Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not FoundThat's not so good. Let's fix that.
1) Open up web.xml. It's located at ViewController/WEB-INF/web.xml.
2) Click the security tab and you'll see Form-Based Authentication with a login page and error page. Click that Search glass and locate your new file. Do the same for the error page. You should see something like "/jspx/login.jspx" come back.
3) Re-run your welcome page.
// Suckered AGAIN!
Error 500--Internal Server Error
java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot find FacesContextThis is a tricky one. The search icon brings back a faulty address. Since we're using a .jspx page, it needs to be "/faces/jspx/login.jspx". Repeat for the error page. Re-run your welcome.jspx.
Ahh!! Now THAT's how we do it in Kingsport!
Finally, a custom .jspx login works. Now what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be playing some Diablo 3?

Creating a WebCenter Application with PageCutomizable and ADF Security

I created a Webcenter App in Jdev 11.1.1.2.0 with webcenter extension.
I have 2 JSPX files.
One called mainTemplate.jspx
- contains header, footer in ADF and a center facet.
One called Welcome.jspx created from mainTemplate
- contains page customizable > panel customizable > layout customizable > various custom panel configs.
ADF security is configured with BASIC, authentication only. Because form authentication seems harder to get working.
We have one weblogic user, and currently deploy to the integrated WLS, although we'll deploy out to a full server once security/composer is working.
The problem is, when we run the Welcome.jspx, and because we added a reference to a logged in var, it requests http login fine.
We then refresh the page and see that we are indeed logged in as 'weblogic'.
Is weblogic a special user? should I create a new one? Is there any setup required on the Integrated WLS to get this working?
However when we click on 'add Content' using the composer we get a permission error.
+<RegistrationConfigurator><handleError> Server Exception during PPR, #1+
javax.el.ELException: oracle.adf.view.page.editor.security.ComposerSecurityException: You do not have permission to edit the page

I tried using the Customization allowed var in the property inspector, but could not map 'allowed by' to a user or role that my setup would recognise. The doco specifies 'admin' which does not work for me.
In my catalog I have a WCM portlet taskflow, which will require its own permissions.
I tried enabling permissions for the test-all role to all of my pages/taskflows, leaving just the 'view' permission to the anonymous role.
I also tried authentication/authorization profiles, and building my own jspx login/error pages, but no luck there either, the login button doesn't seem to tirgger my java doLogin class, even though I set the binding on the button using the method expression builder to the bean method.
*note: I didn't try the welcome/login/error page auto create as they generate html files, I created JSFs with full UI in there. Am I required to use those html types instead of jspx? I found that the redirection worked by appending the jspx reference with '/faces/Login.jspx'. The problem seemed to have been somewhere else.
If we have any Webcenter Composer / Security gurus out there, help would be greatly appreciated.
Our main goal is to create a Webcenter App which has security/composer/navigation and a catalog with WCM/Siebel portlets similar to the Avitek demo without using WC Spaces.

When you want to achieve this you need to configure ADF security with basic authentication & authorization. THe authorization is the part that takes care of what a user may and may not do in an application. Authentication is just the log in part.
When you have configured your application for authorization as well, you have to create roles and groups.
You will also have to set the authorization of your pages. Open a jsxp and in the design or source view, right click and "edit authorization". You then have to add roles to your pages and define their rights. Then you can set the authorization for edit,cuustomize,personlise,view,...
Hope this helps.

Problem with ADF Security / SQL Authenticator after upgrade to 11.1.1.6

Hi,
We have an ADF application built with JDeveloper 11.1.1.2 that's been in production for a couple of years. Now we are in the process of upgrading to 11.1.1.6 so I have upgraded WLS and ADF in a test environment and re-deployed the application there. The application uses users and groups from database using SQL Authenticator configured in WLS. This worked fine in the old version but now after the upgrade we can't log in with credentials from the database. I can log in if I add a user to the default authenticator. We didn't touch any of the authenticator settings or security realm configurations during the upgrade. Both authenticators are marked as SUFFICIENT, as they have always been.
Has something changed in the way SQL Authenticator is used since 11.1.1.2? What could be the problem?
Regards,
Joonas

Answering myself here: after recreating the SQL Authenticator and the ADF Security configuration logins are working again. Don't know where the problem was though.

ADF Security unable to run/deploy

Hi all,
I want to use ADF Security in my new project, so I created an simple test application in my JDeveloper 11g R1.
What I have done is simple, I created a new application using Fusion Web Application Template, and then I run the Config ADF Security Wizard from Application->Secure menu. In the wizard, I selected generate default login page, and welcome page. Then I try to run the login.html.
But I failed with the following error messages, can anybody help me?
Thanks in advanced.

I found the deployment was failed inside JDeveloper from the error message, so the application is not able to run from JDeveloper. I don't understand why JDeveloper unable to run the application that generate by the build-in wizard. I've tried to reinstall my JDeveloper 11g, but still cannot have it work.

ADF security : How to get fnd_users list in weblogic server

Hi All,
I have a question related to ADF security.
I am able to apply ADF security to the application, where users information and roles are defined in jazn.xml file.
On deployment, users/ roles information is being successfully ported to weblogic server.
But my requirement is to fetch users information from fnd_users table. If you have any idea as how to get the fnd_users data to weblogic, please reply.
Thanks,
Randhir

Thanks John.
I went through the link and got steps for authentication with fnd_users.
I have one more question on this.
Do I need to enable jazn.xml for implementing security or only the steps given in this link is sufficient?
Since roles are also stored into fnd table, how to secure the taskflow? (roles are not defined in jazn.xml)

Problem with ADF security and task flow calls

Hi.
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.0.0.
I encountered a problem when tried to apply ADF security to my application.
The way to reproduce the problem:
1. Create new Fusion Web Application;
2. Import Business Components from Tables from any existing schema and add at least one table to the ApplicationModule.
3. Create "welcome page" (for instance, welcome.jsf). Add a button with fixed action outcome "test".
4. Create test page, for instance, test.jsf. Drag and drop any view object from Data Controls onto the page and create a form with navigation controls. Add a button with fixed action outcome "return".
5. Create bounded task flow, name it "test", drag and drop our test page on it - the page will be the default activity. Add a task flow return activity. Add a control flow case from the default view activity to the return activity, set From Outcome property to "return". So our return button should cause the task flow to exit.
6. Open adfc-config.xml in diagram mode and place our welcome page on it. Then drag and drop the test task flow to create a task flow call activity. Add a control flow case from welcome page to task flow call activity, set the From Outcome property to "test". So our test button should call the test task flow.
7. Configure application to run the unbounded task flow starting with Welcome view activity.
At this point all works as expected: when application runs, the welcome page is displayed with test button. Pressing the test button results in displaying the test page, return button leads back to the welcome page.
Now let's configure ADF Security.
Run the ADF Security configuration wizard, choose ADF Authentication and Authorization.
On the second page select Form-Based Authentication, check the Generate Default Pages flag.
On the third page choose No Automatic Grants.
On the next page keep the Redirect Upon Successful Authentication unchecked. Press Finish.
Open jazn-data.xml to configure roles, users and resource grants:
1. Create application role test-role.
2. Grant the test-role privileges to view the test task flow.
3. Create user and grant him the test-role.
Now we have the public available welcome page and the test page with restricted access.
When application runs, the welcome page is displayed as expected. Pressing the test button redirect us to auto-generated login page. After successful authorization the test page is displayed. But nothing happens if we click now the return button for the first time. When we click the return button once more, the application crushes with Error-500 and message "Target Unreachable, identifier 'bindings' resolved to null". The exact error trace depends on UI control bindings, but looks like this:
javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: //C:/Users/DUDKIN/AppData/Roaming/JDeveloper/system11.1.2.0.38.60.17/o.j2ee/drs/Test1/ViewControllerWebApp.war/test.jsf @10,120 value="#{bindings.Id.inputValue}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'bindings' resolved to null

(the rest of lines skipped).
Any suggestions?

@Lovin_JV_941794
The welcome page is public available since it does not have appropriate PageDef file.
Login page comes not from the welcome page, it comes after attempt to access the test page. So after the login succeeded the test page appears, because redirect to welcome page after successful login is not configured. I do not need to return the welcome page at this moment, I need to go to the test page.
It seems the task flow call stack to be destroyed after redirect to login page.

ADF Security in JDeveloper 10.1.3.2

Hi,
i used this link http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/1013/adfsecurity/adfsecurity_10132.html
to apply security to my AD application using the JAN but i faced a problem which is ,if i logged in using the user i create on the OTC i always get this error HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden "You are not authorized to view this page", Although i didn't apply the authorization on my pages yet.
can anyone help?
Thanx

Hi,
using ADF Security, security is enabled as soon as you switch on ADF Security. Its a pessimistic thinking that is that you don't have access unless explicitly granted access
