Basic authentication only works for some webservices?

I'm trying to call the SAP BI/BO REStful webservices using basic authentication. I enabled basic authentication in the WACS and tested with this service:
http://host:6405/infostore/16422
This works! I can get the report metadata as either xml or json. However, whenever I try an url with "raylight" in it, I get an authentication problem:
http://host:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/16422/parameters
error_code: "1"
message: "No session found in HTTP header X-SAP-LogonToken"
Why do some services work with basic authentication and others absolutely require the logontoken? I would like to avoid the logontoken if possible. I tested by logging on with the token and that does work, so it's not like my credentials are wrong.
I also found the a problem with the raylight logontoken described here: RESTful Raylight Error Incorrect session
Apparently, there needs to be double quotes around the logontoken for it to work. Could this "bug" be the reason why basic authentication doesn't work? I already tfried to put double quotes around and inside my base-encoded value but it still gives the same error.

Hello,
Raylight doesn't support basic authentication because it required a permanent session to work. Internally, we have to manage a "cache" to support subsequent REST calls and this is not possible using basic authentication.

Anthony

  • Safari auto fill only works for some sites on my new iMac

    Hi, Safari autofill only works for a few websites on my new iMac. Apple Care tried to change some settings which did not help. Autofill is checked in preference and we worked on Keychain access.
    Thank you for your advice.

    Select your card in Address Book. Then select
    Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar. In Safari, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ AutoFill ▹ AutoFill web forms: Using info from my Address Book card.

  • Why does iMessage only work for some of my contacts?

    Having problems with iMessage. It will work for some of my contacts but not others. And those people arre having the same problem, works with other people but not me.. Anyone dealt with this?

    1. Both devices have to be running iOS 5.*
    2. Internet latency can delay iMessage connection.  If you enabled "Send as SMS", the phone will switch to SMS if iMessage doesn't connect quickly.  If you disable Send as SMS, more of your messages will go through as iMessage.

  • Basic authentication not working for portal application

    HI All,
    i have a portal application where I have a servlet. i want to use basic authentication for this servlet.
    to archive this i have followed http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/b31974/adding_security.htm
    and configured basic authentication, also add web-resource in web.xml for the url to access the servlet.
    my web.xml look like (copied is only security section from web.xml)
    <security-constraint>
        <web-resource-collection>
          <web-resource-name>adfAuthentication</web-resource-name>

    this works when in run the application in JDeveloper i.e. when i try to access http://localhost:7101/MyApp/faces/Auto-connect it ask for basic authentication (the popup) and when i access http://localhost:7101/MyApp/ it takes me to home page for login , but doesn't work when i deploy the application in weblogic 11g.(deployment done using Enterprise Manager console (EM console) (for both URL no popup).
    i tried Google around it but didn't get any solution please provide your input and guide me.

  • Message audio only works for some contacts...

    i have an iPhone 5S.  I'm updated to 8.0.2 When I try to do an audio message in iMessages it works for most people.  However my brother who has an IPhone 4s I cannot send him an audio message or audio text.  There simply is NO microphone to even attempt a audio message. I have 1 other person in my contacts where it's the same.  Also I have a friend who has an iPhone 5C and he is having the same problem.  Some contacts he can do an audio message some he cannot...
    what at the heck is wrong???

    So I'm just stuck with this feature only working on most of my contacts??

  • 11G Modplsql Basic Authentication not working for globally identified database users

    I have a modplsql dad that uses Basic authentication.  When I supply a username and password where the database user is locally defined in the database using the "identified by" syntax the authentication works perfectly and the modplsql app works.  When I try to authenticate a database user that is defined in the database using the "identified globally" syntax authentication fails.  Any idea on how to get modplsql app to work with users identified via OID?
    Thanks,

  • Screen sharing only works for some computers

    I have 3 computers on the same network.  For this thread I will refer to them as C1, C2 & C3.  All computers show in the sidebar as shared and I can look at all the files within these computers.
    C1 and C2 can see C3 with screen sharing but no other combination works.  exp. C1 can't see C2, C3 can't see C1 or C2.
    All computers are set the same and all worked a week or so ago.  Pref. Sharing has share files and share screens checked.  They all require an administrator to access.  They all have Firewall ON and Stealth and signed software are checked.
    Can anyone give me some idea what might be going on here.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Do you mean that sometimes you can connect and sometimes you can't or that after connecting sometimes it stops working?
    I haven't had any problems accessing my G5 running Leopard Server either from my MacPro or my Macbook over the internet which is much slower than a gigabit ethernet network. The G5 connects over a 24Mb cable connection and the other computers access the net using a DSL line (16Mb, but I have also done it over an 8Mb DSL line).

  • Push Notification only works for some Apps?

    I just upgraded to a new iPhone 3GS from the official german carrier (t-mobile). The device is not jailbroken or unlocked.
    With some applications push notification works (iFun, Trivial Pursuit, Ping, Facebook, IM+), with some not (N-TV news, Focus news, ebay). I already tried deinstallation with data removal of the apps and reinstallation.
    Is there some way to reset the push notification feature, or reset the device token?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Yes, they have - both are news applications with push capability.

  • Copy and Paste: Only works for some phrases

    Since the update to IOS8, I've been experiencing problems with the copy and paste function with certain pieces of text. Some will appear to copy fine but often won't paste and I will instead get an older item from my 'clip board' rather than the one I just recently copied.
    This doesn't apply to in-app buttons, like YouTube's copy link feature under the share icon; these links copy and paste fine.
    I'm using the Swift Keyboard and I believe this contributes to the problem in some way. Any thoughts?
    This is becoming increasingly frustrating and inconvenient. Please help!

    Ugg I totally knew you would all say that (because I already knew that would offer me the easiest solution), change hosts and now I'm embarrassed to say that YES I am paying for the hosting; BUT, I have to explain that I'm with this hosting company because way back when I started that site I needed something super user friendly because I was just learning.  Now I have learned more and have started to use Dreamweaver.  I just stayed with the same hosting and will use FTP to upload my new more updated site.  In the company's defense even though they do offer a way to FTP a site up, their main objective (I think) is to have a really easy way for people to get a site up without knowing anything about code or css or anything; and they operate under the assumption that MOST of their customers will be using their super easy software and not use FTP.  That is why I think they are limited to what they offer, at least that is my take on it.  My more recent sites do not use this company as I have tried to learn and 'move up'. 
    Anyway I guess if I don't want to switch hosting I still have the same problem.  Is it really that difficult to make something that has just one use ID and password which would be the same thing for every person?  Might be a great learning experience for me?
    Yep it might be time for me to switch hosting....  sigh.  What to do.....

  • Multi Master Replication - Only works for some tables?

    I have a multi master replication between a 9i and an 816 database.
    All the tables are in the same tablespace and have the same owner. The replication user has full privs on all the tables.
    When setting up the replication some tables create properly, but others fail with a "table not found" error.
    Ideas anyone ?

    You said that you have a 9i replicated with a 816.
    I try the same thing but with two 9i enterprise version databases, free downloaded from www.oracle.com.

  • There were some updates on my Apps.  I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud.  Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

    There were some updates on my Apps.  I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud.  Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

    Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

  • Outlook autodiscover is not working for some users in coexistence

    Hi
    We are doing exchnage 2013/2010 coexistence
    Most everything is ok BUT outlook autodiscover is not working for some exchange 2010 users now that 2013 is in the front!!!.  We end up creating the profiles manually.  It has affected some but not all the users.
    I followed the instructions here but it didn't help.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/tips_from_the_inside/archive/2012/01/11/autodiscover-fails-for-one-or-more-users.aspx
    Using outlook 2010, 2013, patches, .... didn't make a difference
    Would you please help?
    Thank you

    Hi 
    If it is affecting only few handful of users i could suspect a mailbox corruption and would recommend to move mailbox and see the results.
    Also you can try below
    You need to set the values MaxFieldLength, MaxRequestBytes & MaxTokenSize to below on Exchange 2010 CAS servers as well as Exchange 2013 CAS servers
    Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
    Name: MaxFieldLength
    Type: DWORD
    Value: 65534
    Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
    Name: MaxRequestBytes
    Type: DWORD
    Value: 16777216
    Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Parameters
    Name: MaxTokenSize
    Type: REG_DWORD
    Value: 48000 
    Just reboot the servers once its done and you will be good to go.

  • Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

    Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

    It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
    Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
    I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
    The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
    If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
    If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
    There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
    But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
    In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

  • I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!

    I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!
    I have created a navigation system on the master pages and set the presentation to links only mode. I also have other links scattered throughout the program, like a linkable table of contents, etc. Some of them work, some of them don't. Not sure why. Anyone out there having similar issues? Or have any idea on how I can solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Links should not create any problems in Keynote.  If they are set up correctly on text, the text will be underlined. Objects that have links will have a curved arrow bottom right, if you click the arrow a popup will display the link information.
    Try this repair for Keynote,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1 
    delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
    2 
    empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash
    3 
    Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.
    4  
    Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    5 
    when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions
    6 
    when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
    7 
    install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    let us know if this helped
