App Security

Is there a way to make an app (created in DPS) like a subscription - where it is a free download - but only a registered user can download it?

With DPS Enterprise, you have the capability to distribute the app publicly, but restrict all content to registered users. This is something we've helped a number of organizations implement with MEI Portico.
Please feel free to DM if you would like to discuss options.

IOS 7 mail app security concerns

I just witnessed something that made me very concerned about the iOS 7 Mail App security. I was changing my mail account password. (I am still stuck with a Hotmail account.) So after I changed my Hotmail account password in a desktop web browser, I was expecting to do the same on my iPhone. But, what I observed totally shocked me -- I was still able to receive and send emails from my iPhone using the Apple Mail App (that still had my old password!) for some time before the Mail app crashed and only when I restarted it, it then prompted me for a password.
Now picture a more dire situation. Someone steals my iPhone. I immediately log in to Hotmail and change my password. But the thief with my iPhone can still send and receive emails from my Hotmail account. I don't need to go any further with what this can lead to, right!

If a thief steals your phone, then hopefully you put a passcode lock on your phone, and are also using Find My iPhone.
Guys, don't lead it in the wrong direction. This is not about setting up the passcode. Obviously that is the way to protect your data. But as you probably heard from Apple themselves about half of people who use iOS devices don't have passlocks set up. At this point I'm concerned why the Mail App lets me send and receive emails with the old password?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

Web app security not working

Hi,
I am using WebLogic 8.1 platform. I am trying to create a very basic secure web
app.
I created an App and created a web project. In it, I deleted the controller, etc
and just have index. jsp. All the index.jsp does is: <%= request.getRemoteUser()
%>
In web.xml I have
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Success</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>*</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>default</realm-name>
</login-config>
<security-role>
<role-name>*</role-name>
</security-role>
In weblogic.xml I have
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>dealers</role-name>
<principal-name>dealer1</principal-name>
</security-role-assignment>
When I run the app, it just renders the JSP and does not challenge me to login.
Can you please help what is that I am doing wrong here?
Thanks,
John

Web app security + JAAS

I'm working on the authentication/authorisation aspects of a fairly
large web application using WLS 6.0 (ie allowing users to login and
access resources based on role etc).
Its a standard JSP/Servlet/EJB type architecture and so far it seems
the FORM-based authentication will serve our needs well. However, I've
been instructed (by higher powers) to investigate JAAS authentication.
It looks far more complex to implement so my question is, does it
offer any significant advantages that justify the extra work?
Thanks for your time.

Web app security question

Hi,
I have a basic question about securing web applications. In our app, we have myRealm
pointing to an LDAP store. The store has (lets say) a group called 'dealers' and
it has a user 'dealer1'.
Now, in WEB-INF/weblogic.xml I have
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>dealers</role-name>
<principal-name>dealer1</principal-name>
</security-role-assignment>
Does the role name in weblogic.xml map to the groups called dealers in LDAP? I
have no specific roles configured in myRealm.
Thanks,
John

You can specify groups or individual usernames.

Hi Andrew,
Even without moderation enabled, any submission made through the BC platform is filtered through our protection engine to prevent XSS. Any type of potentially malicious code is immediately stripped from the submission, and this is not done at a client-side level.

Web app security ... i don't get it

I do not get it how do one configure web.xml
I want every page to be protected against unlogged user and some pages only to some of them
From what I read it's only necessary to have only one root role that every user is part of and then any sub-role is recognized
My use case:
every page should be protected against unauthorized user
<security-constraint>
        <display-name>Restrictie de vizualizare pe orice pagina jsf</display-name>
        <web-resource-collection>
            <web-resource-name>JSF Pages</web-resource-name>

            <http-method>GET</http-method>
            <http-method>POST</http-method>

            <transport-guarantee>NONE</transport-guarantee>
        </user-data-constraint>
    </security-constraint>and I want that managers only to have access to /managers so I guess that a new </security-constraint> must be issued to allow the users that have managers role to access the resource.

         <principal-name>public</principal-name>
     </security-role-assignment>
</weblogic-web-app> and in the realm public group has a member 'managers' (that in my opp must not be mapped)?
..on the moment there is only

        <role-name>fullaccess</role-name>
    </security-role>thanks, Florin POP

Web app security & IIS?

I'm trying to get the security working for a web app. I'm using JAAS and the BASIC
authentication. I don't want to use FORM because the original Perl app (from which
my web app is derived) also used BASIC and I don't want the interface to change.
I've found that the security works great if I go directly to the weblogic server,
so it looks like the problem is with IIS (we're fowarding requests from IIS to
WebLogic). I think the problem lies in my web.xml. It has this in it:
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>MLV Users Only</realm-name>
</login-config>
From what I can tell, weblogic just uses the realm-name as a label in the dialog
box that pops up, and for nothing else. My guess is that IIS is really trying
to use this as a security realm.
Am I on the right track? Anyone got any hints?

Adobe Connect Mobile App Security Setting?

Every time I try to log onto a meeting with my iPhone it tells me there is a Network Error. From what I have read on other fourms there is a "Secure Login" setting which must be unchecked in order to stop this error. What I need to know is where this setting is? Does the host have to change this setting or is it in the App? Where? No one seems to be saying where the setting actually is.

The secure login applies if you have SSL enabled on your server. If you do not use SSL, then you would not use that setting.
That check box appears on the main login screen when you choose "Member" login. It does not appear for the "Guest" login.

Testing oracle apps security in reports

Hi,
I have a report which is running fine in Report builder 6i and also in Oracle apps(this is a customized report for oracle apps).
Now I need to test the security in Oracle apps. As per the advice provided in metalink I added
1) added a user parameter P_CONC_REQUEST_ID
2) added "srw.user_exit('FND SRWINIT');" to the BeforeReport trigger
3) added "srw.user_exit('FND SRWEXIT');" to the AfterReport trigger
But now when I try to run in Oracle apps it gives below error
REP-1416: 'beforereport': User exit 'FND'. IAF GET: unknown column 'P_CONC_REQUEST_ID'.
Please help on how to solve this issue. Any help is appreciated

Thanks for the reply. The problem still persists.
The same metalink gives another solution as below but when I add the below to the report I couldn't compile. It gives "identifier hr_standard.event must be declared". Anyone used this before, if so how to use the same.
3. If the issue is not resolved try placing the calls mentioned in 2 with
hr_standard.event('BEFORE REPORT');
hr_standard.event('AFTER REPORT');

Mapping Apps security profiles in Discoverer

Hello
We wish to implement a 2-tiered security architecture. We already have the 1st tier in place in Disco Admin by assigning specific Business Areas to responsibilities.
However, we also want to use the Apps custom Security Profiles to restrict access to tables and views through Discoverer Admin.
How can this be implemented? Any examples would be most welcome.
Thanks

You can use the following query to look for all the security profiles. You can join the hr_operating_units to fnd_profile_option_values.level_value to get the desired result.
SELECT psp.security_profile_name,
       psp.security_profile_id,
       hou.NAME,
       hou.organization_id
FROM per_security_profiles psp,
       per_security_organizations pso,
       hr_operating_units hou
WHERE pso.security_profile_id = psp.security_profile_id
   AND pso.organization_id = hou.organization_id;Additionally, you can also have a look at the below MOS docs.

Oracle Apps secure code review

Is any documentation available (either Oracle or third party based) to guide secure code reviews for Oracle Apps (or more specifically, Oracle Application Framework)?
I'm aware of the usual sql injection bad practices (as related to JDBC and PLSQL). I'm curious about API abuse, as related to:
- cross-site scripting concerns
- client-side trust issues (e.g., hidden field values)
- improper or inconsistent input validation
- improper error handling
- improper session management
- inappropriate access control
Thanks.

Thanks... I looked at that and didn't think it was all in there, but I looked again after I got your reply and it appears to be what we are looking for (at least a starting point).

Can VPD Virtual Private DB in 10g replace Oracle Apps security rules?

I read the recent article in Oracle Magazine called 'Testing Database Security', especially the section on Virtual Private Database (VPD), caught my attention. Can this feature of the 10g database be used by the Oracle Apps to restrict access to data through the apps login? We just moved to 10g.
Our current data security is enabled by leveraging security rules attached to responsibilities. Our security rules restrict by operating unit, of which there are 89. It would be great if VPD could be used, as it might replace the need to create 89 separate security rules. We would maintain just one set of policies.
Does anyone know if this can be used on the applications level? If anyone has done this, do you know of a documentation link that would help?
Thanks for your insight.

Sebes,
Thanks for the link...it sounds like it may be part of the Oracle future landscape, but for now, we will have to live with security rules.
Sincerely,
Brenda

App security level

How do I set the security level of an app so it will run with admin privilege at startup?

johnsankey wrote:
I don't know why that should matter... Anyway, the app is Psst because I don't want to have to remember to run it every time I use the computer. I get up at sunrise, the rest of the household doesn't, and cutting that startup roar of sound is not an option here.
The reason is because without knowing which app you are talking about there is no way to answer your question.
In the case of Psst, you are most likely going to have to talk to the developer who wrote it. He is probably doing something that requires additional premissions.

LinksysSmartWiFi app Security Issue

I recently installed an EA6700. Other than overheating, the router works great. I also installed the LinksysSmartWiFi app on my iPad 2. I’m concerned that when I turn on my iPad and click on the SmartWiFi app, I can view the router password as well as both networks passcode. I can change any router setting without any security. I was not signed on the router through the LinksysSmartWiFi web browser version. Is there a way to require a password before accessing the network through this app?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Linksys Smart Wifi App is intended to be installed on a personal mobile phone or tablet for easy access and easy network administration. It won't require any password once done providing the network credentials on its first run.
If everyone needs to believe in something, I believe I'll have another beer..
