Anonymous User TaskInstances after timeout.

Hi guys,
I have an anonymous user workflow that runs fine, just that if I leave a registration form (1st manual action) "untouched" for a while, the session times out and a login page shows up with just the 'User Name' field... no field for the Password because I guess its an anonymous workflow.
Is there a way to disable the timeout altogether? The login screen doesn't make sense + doesn't take the user anywhere.
Thanks in advance,
Adi.

I found a work-around for my problem..
In the user/anonlogin.jsp, I am giving a response.sendRedirect to the page that has links to the self-registration page :-)
If any of you finds another proper solution (disabling timeout or something), kindly share.
Thanks,
Adi.

  • WPC content for anonymous user

    Dear SDNites
    We have recently started a project in which we are using Web Page Composer(WPC) for web content development. We have configured the WPC content for anonymous users. After the configurations, anonymous users could access this content without entering any user id and password. But after the restart of the portal, it started prompting login screens even for the anonymous users.We have checked all the required configurations and these seem fine to me. Can you please help me on how to resolve this issue?
    Best Regards

  • Anonymous Users can see pages and files only about 10 minutes

    We have set Anonymous access permission to an KM repository. After the portal restarting very strange things are happen. An user who belongs to the Anonymous Users group can see and open pages (created by WPC),  files and hyperlinks. But after about ten minutes of such browsing a login screen begins to appear. Since that time the user canu2019t see and open any file of the repository.
    We have accurately read and applied recommendations of the Note 837898 - How to configure anonymous CM access.
    All URL Generator Service properties are exactly satisfied recommended values (e.g. /irj/go/*).
    We have granted Read permissions to all required repositories and recourses for Everyone and Anonymous Users groups (checked End User fieled as well).
    The site navigation structure and pages have been developed by mean of Web Page Composer (WPC).
    Security Zone (no safety) of WPC has been set with Read permission of Everyone and Anonymous Users groups.
    How to work around this?

    This behavior occurs then we click link inside pages generated in WPC. After that the anonymous see the login screen.
    > For example, if the anonymous user only has portal content, does the timeout occur? 
    What do you mean? Between ten and twenty minutes an anonymous user lost the ability to access any pages generated in WPC, any file contained in the portal, any XML Forms generated by XML Forms Builder (e.g. the News XML pages).
    > Does the timeout occur if the user does not navigate anywhere in the portal? 
    I'm not sure we didn't check. It's most likely that after a number previews of the pages it happens.
    > Does the timeout occur with  only KM and not WPC?
    >
    Again between ten and twenty minutes an anonymous user lost the ability to access any pages generated in WPC, any file contained in the portal, any XML Forms generated by XML Forms Builder (e.g. the News XML pages).
    Please read the following clarification of our situation.
    During setting up access of anonymous user to Web Page Composer pages we need to use Web Content repository that is not in the Documents repository.
    As is in the note 837898 there are no prefixes for WPC pages in the URL Generator Service.
    So the an anonymous user get login screen then attempt to access any WPC pages of the Web Content repository.
    How to achieve that content in the Web Content repository get as Content Link property the value '/irj/go/km/docs/wpccontent/u2026', rather than '/irj/servlet/prt/prtroot/...'?
    > It almost sounds like the user's logonticket has expired after 10 minutes.

    As far as I know an anonymous user doesn't provided with logon ticket at all. You can check this in the SDN SAP Help.

  • Authorization Issue with Custom Pending Value Object and Anonymous Users

    Hi,
    I am just converting my demo from version 7.1 to 7.2. I am not doing upgrade. The demo uses a custom pending value object USER_REQUEST. The idea is that new employee goes to Java AS as anonymous user and enters her details and store where she will work. After submitting request there is an approval process using custom entry type USER_REQUEST. If the request is approved then IdM converts USER_REQUEST into MX_PERSON entry. This works nice in 7.1 but I am having problems with replicating this in 7.2. I created new UI task accessible by anonymous that creates new USER_REQUEST entry. I also assigned role idm.anonymous with UME action idm_anonymous to UME built in group Anonymous users.
    My problem is with the field STORE. This field is a reference field to another custom entry type STORE (this entry type will be used in context based assignment). Every new employee must selects a store where she will work. The problem is when user clicks on button "Select". Web dynpro terminates and returns authorization error. I also tested this with entry type MX_ROLE. I added attribute MXREF_MX_ROLE and same issue. So it seems that just assigning UME action idm_anonymous is not enough to list objects from identity store. I found a workaround for this issue. When I assign also UME action idm_authenticated to Anonymous users then it does not dump and I get a pop up window where I can search for store. It does not seem right to assign idm_authenticated to anonymous users.
    Another issue is with display task for entry type USER_REQUEST. I assigned a display task to entry STORE and I set that Anonymous have access to this task in Access control tab. I assigned default value to the field store. So when a user opens page she can see a hyper link to display already assigned store. When user clicks on this hyper link it opens a new pop up window and user must authenticate against Java AS. After successful authentication the display task for entry STORE is displayed. I would assume that anonymous user can display it without authentication.
    So to me it seems like authorization checks have been changed in 7.2 versions and are more strict for anonymous tasks. Hence my question is how can I implement my scenario. Am I missing some configuration or what's the proper solution to my two issues? I don't count assigning idm_authenticated to Anonymous users as a solution. This workaround does not solve my second issue.
    Thanks

    Some of the folks from Trondheim labs check, but rather infrequently.  There's another person who I guess is in consulting that also checks from time to time.

  • Error with anonymous user

    I have configured an anonymous user and created a new framework page to display the content.  When the page first loads, the correct framework page, theme, and content appear.  However, if I click on one of the content tabs (even if it is the first one, which is currently showing correctly), I get the error <b>"No portal desktop is defined for this user.If this problem persists, contact your system administrator."</b>
    I have checked all permissions on everything to ensure that they are set correctly.  Is there some type of session management that needs to be configured for anonymous users?  It seems to load great the first time, and then after that is when the error occurs.  Logged in users do not have this error.
    Thanks for any help offered.

  • Anonymous User Login

    Hi All,
    I have an issue with 'Forgot Password' button in the end user login. When a Forgot Password button is clicked, a Question Login workflow will trigger (I think I am right?) .Now I would like to customize the 'Question Login' workflow as per my requirements, but unfortunately I am not, I modified the system configuration object, but still with no luck I am not able to customize that workflow.
    So I thought of using anonymous login page and I can launch my own workflow as per my requirements. I have registered my workflow at 'anonymous end user tasks'. and I try to launch the anonymous login page using the url 'http://localhost:8080/idm/user/anonlogin.jsp'. I am getting the following errors.
    An unrecoverable error has occurred processing the request. Contact your system administrator.
    Syslog ID = LG-1111-024933.
    Only the Reset Administrator may access this view.
    I don't know, where I am doing wrong. For the first time I am trying to use anonymous login page.
    Did anybody faced similar problems?
    Can anybody please post some points, like what is the procedure to use a Anonymous login page?
    Thanks in advance

    Well, first, I visited Configure > User Interface, and enabled Anonymous Enrollment.
    Next, I went to user/login.jsp, and saw "Request Account". I clicked on it, and up popped the user/anonEnrollment.jsp page. (I was looking at using this for one of our requirements; turned out I didn't need it, and did something else).
    Anyway, a quick check with Live HTTP Headers for Firefox shows that the post was directly to anonEnrollment.jsp; anonEnrollment.jsp has this at the top:
    String anonUser = LoginHelper.getAnonymousUser(session);
    if (anonUser == null) {
        String url = "user/login.jsp";
        LoginHelper.redirect(req, out, url);
        return;
    }Not a huge amount of help. However, it does establish that there is an "getAnonymousUser" method, which is documented to return "the currently registered anonymous user name if any". And reading the Workflows, Forms, and Views manual, it states that the anonymous main page is for "... when a user who does not have a Identity Manager account logs in, an Identity Manager user object is created ...". Basically, if you're using pass through auth, and have a source system that will let a user authenticate, they can then set themselves up.
    So, I visited "anonmain.jsp" after clearing all cookies, and up popped "anonlogin.jsp", with a login box. I entered "anonymous", and lo!, I was logged in, and saw the anonymous user menu. In other words, I was "provisionally" logged in with an account that doesn't really exist (anonymous).
    However, I had to provide that extra bit of information, namely, my "fake" user name of "anonymous". I don't know how you'd do that without JSP customization.
    Basically, "anonymous" means "has a username, but we don't have an account", rather than "truely anonymous" as near as I can tell. The system will do it for you in the case of "Request Account" (the generated login page has some Javascript code to redirect to anonEnrollment.jsp), but it doesn't seem to be an exposed API.
    You might get somewhere with customizing the "Request Account" string in the messages catalogue, and then customizing the anonymous enrollment workflow.

    Hi,
    . Changing the Main Rules
    o Go to Portal content --> Portal Administrators -->Super administrators -->Main rules.
    o Right click and select edit object.
    o Click "Add IF Expression". Another IF statement is added. Already existing IF statement is necessarry.
    o Here you select If user = some user
    o Click the "Then" Statement. Now go to the Portal desktop you created and right click the portal desktop and select "Add portal desktop to expression".
    o Now save the rule collection.
    You are done for the user. Now close the browser and loggin with the specific user.
    Also, check these links for further assistance.

  • Anonymous user on 7.0 EHP1 SP07

    Dear all,
    I've started the development of an anonymous accessible Portal using NW 7.0 EHP1 SP03, so the all configurations was been done and it was working well, after update for SP07, the anonymous user can't show the contents, the note 837898 was fully applied.
    Another strange behaviour, the navurl that is generated using External Connector : wpccontent:// isn't redendered but if i publish a page using Single Web Pages Integration using iView (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/ff/681a4138a147cbabc3c76bde4dcdbd/content.htm) it is rendered.
    Does anybody using this scenario?
    Best regards

    Dear Isaias,
    We are currently running NW 7.01 SP05 and are in the process of upgrading to SP07. We found that the upgrade to SP07 caused issues to anonymous access on the portal. We have since found SAP note 1504302 detailing the issue. The patch is not available via the Service Marketplace yet, but I have heard rumors of it being available by 17th September 2010.
    In respect to your other query, I could not replicate the issue (assuming I have correctly understood the problem) but I suspect that if anonymous access is being used for this page via the external connector, these issues may be linked.
    Best regards,
    Chris

  • Anonymous user placing order

    Is there any way to reinitialize the profileId after an anonymous profile places order. Basically, I need a different profile Id for every order in case of anonymous user.

    As far as I know, there is no ATG OOTB feature to solve your issue. Adding a custom code at the end of the checkout might have big impacts like, you might not be able to display the last page of checkout (thank you page) with order details since the profile might be new at this stage.
    One solution, you can try out is that if an anonymous user is adding an item to the basket, check if the profile id already has a submitted order, if so then reinitialize the profile with a new one, something like this.
    Another one is in the servlet pipeline, add a component to check if current anonymous user is having an order with submitted/completed status, if so initialize a new profile, but in this case you might need to skip this check if the user is currently in the last page of checkout(thanks page).
    Cheers

    I would not suggest setting END_DATE to NULL since it is recommended to disable this user. For more details, have a look at the following note:

  • Keep track of the shopping cart for anonymous user

    Hi,
    I have the following problem on b2c site. Anonymous user can browse through the site and adds items to the shopping cart. At the checkout the login page is prompted, however login page is located on the different application server where the actual login happening. After that control is returned to my server where I need to create login object and associate the shopping cart with it. My problem is how to maintain shopping cart without losing it.
    I came with that solution : On checkout attach shopping cart to context object with unique key, then pass this unique key to the remote server, then remote server passes it back to me together with the login id, then I create new session and attach shopping cart to it after retrieving shopping cart from the context.
    I hope it will work, however I think there is a standard solution for this type of the problems. Any ideas, hints, suggestions are strongly appreciated.
    We use WebLogic 9.0 and Servlets.

    Do you have a problem keeping track of the shopping cart for a user who is logged in? No, I didn't think so. So give the anonymous user an internal name, just for your own convenience. Then keep track of the shopping cart for the user with that name. You already know how to do that.

  • Web Dynpro iView for Anonymous user

    Hi All,
    I created a Web Dynpro iView based on local Web Dynpro application. I am trying to access this iView as a anonymous user. I have given Authentication mode as
    "flase". In  iView properties and  Page properties Authentication Scheme is  "anonymous". In all permissions I added "Anonymous Group" and given Read and End User permissions.  After doing all these things Still it is prompting me for Login.  My Server is 2004s SP 10.
    Please Somebody tell me what I am missing.
    Thank you
    Joe

    Hi Sreekanth,
    I think you have to assign this iview to the standard user role which you can find under Portal content ->Portal users -> standard portal users -> Standard user role  and assign this to group "Everyone"  (if not already done).
    Then you should be able to access this iview directly. Let me know if it works.
    Thanks,

    in the content view i see the portal logon page!!! if i lauch the page whit other user (after log-on) i see the WPS page correctly
    Any suggestion??

    And don't forget the anonymous group. Well the things you need to take a second look at are in de doucments.
    - Making CM ready for anonymous access
    - PCD (iviews, pages, folder, etc) should have anonymous access
    - are all the servies configured right
    - And make sure the right group have the right access in CM (KM)

  • Url iview for anonymous user

    Hi
    We have an url iview with two Language-specific URLs (en and es) and a default URL. This iview is in anonymour portal page.
    The first time that an anonymous user accees to /irj/portal/anonymous the url iview shows the default url instead of the en URL. Browser lengauge is EN.
    How can i solve this??
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There are two condition for the URL Language-specific :
    1. You must first create the URL iView and then use the editor to use this
    feature. It is not available in the URL iView Wizard.
    2. You cannot apply a different look and feel to language-specific URLs.
    iView content will be displayed at runtime in its native format as defined in
    the source Web page. For more information, see the Keep
    source formatting option in Defining the Look and Feel of the iView Content.
    The remaining look and feel rendering option are supported by the default URL only.
    In addition there is an option to check the service configuration of the Language-specific :
    com.sap.portal.admin.wizardframework:
    edit the SourceLocales field check that the requested Language is defined and if not you can add it
    ( Follow note# 1078145 )
    After doing so , please restart the service , and check the results.
    If the problem still exist let me know and we can have further investigation.
