Can't open form-protected Web resource from a link in a Word or Excel doc

I've run into an issue with OAM and Web resources protected by a Form authentication scheme.
Summary: I have a form-protected Web resource, and I add a hyperlink to that resource into a Microsoft Word or Excel document. Now, I click on the link in the document, and a Web browser is opened with the login form. However, the browser does not have any of the session cookies (ObFormLoginCookie, ObSSOCookie) required for the form to work, so the login only results in an error page.
(This issue is partly the fault of Word and Excel, because they try to open the link themselves, and so they get the session cookies. If they handed off all of the work to the default browser, this wouldn't be an issue.)
Is there a simple solution to this problem? Can I write code to extend the form authentication scheme to use something like the query string instead of the ObFormLoginCookie? Or am I faced with writing a custom AccessGate?
(I know this problem doesn't effect resources protected by Basic Over LDAP authentication, but then we lose the advantages of a custom login form.)
Thanks,
Matthew

i am faceing a file download problem too..........
i am protecting jboss application,,,,using apache, and jk....
all work fine except for open a file(word,excel,txt,etc).
Disable the policy domain, everything goes just fine. microsoft file dialogue opens,you can open the file directly, or save it to your computer........
Enable the policy domain,, you can only save the file to your computer(file content is also correct),,,but cannot open it directly.it says the file path could not be found......but if the word/excel application is already running, you can open it fine...
PS:not a computer issue,,,every computers faceing the same problem
any avoice from you is good to me...............thanks very much

  • TS3276 i am unable to open web pages from email links on my ipad

    I am unable to open web pages from email links on my ipad

    A few more details might help, if nobody else recognizes this.   
    What happens when you try to open the links?
    Can you post an example of a link that doesn't work?
    Is there any particular source for the mail with the (bad) links, or is mail from all sources failing?
    If you happen to know it, what's the format of the mail message?  (Maybe the message is an image?)
    Do the embedded links work as expected from an OS X system running Mail.app, or some system and some other other mail client?
    To view the link in iOS: if you press on and hold your finger on an embedded link in most contexts, iOS will show a pop-up with the link contents, and will offer to copy it.  You can use that to acquire and post the link.  If pressing and holding on the link doesn't offer the pop-up, the format of the link itself may not be valid, or it might not really be a link.

  • Captivate 6: Can I hyperink to a web page from an image?

    In Captivate 6, can I hyperlink to a web page from an image?

    You can fill a smart shape with the image using the Texture button, but beware: choose a shape with the same size as the image. Maybe Sreekanth is telling the same, but I didn't get his 'assign custom image to it'? And if you want to have a pause for a shape button, you have to check it in the Timing accordion.
    Another approach is to put a click box on top of the image. You can open the URL in another window using the small triangle drop down list, and be sure to uncheck Continue Project to avoid that the playhead will continue.

  • How can I call a SAPME web service from MII such as PlaceFutureHold?

    Dears,
    How can I call a SAPME web service from MII such as PlaceFutureHold?
    By using MII, I would like to develop some logic to check some values which query from SAPME database, if the value is out of spec, it needs to send a emal to inform user ans also hold the SFC.
    Thanks!

    With Web service action block you can view all ME available services
    in I.E
    https://sapme:5000/manufacturing-services/ProductionServiceService?wsdl  you could see your FutureHold service
    To do that in MII, you need Web Service action block. Have you work with MII transaction before?
    (saw your post in MII)

  • Unable to invoke a protected web service from PL/Sql

    Hi All
    I am trying to invoke a protected web service from Plsql. But getting the below error.
    error message is ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
    ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
    LPX-00104: Warning: element "html" is not declared in the DTD
    Error at line 2
    If i try to invoke the service after disabling the protection then i am able to call it and getting response. Pls let me know how to deal with this authentication issue.
    Below is the invoking code i am using.
    BEGIN
    generate_envelope(p_request, l_envelope);
    show_envelope(l_envelope);
    l_http_request := UTL_HTTP.begin_request(p_url, 'POST','HTTP/1.0');
    UTL_HTTP.set_header(l_http_request, 'Authorization', 'Basic Y29tcGxpYW5jZS5nZW46Y29tcGxpYW5jZQ11');
    UTL_HTTP.set_header(l_http_request, 'Content-Type', 'text/xml');
    UTL_HTTP.set_header(l_http_request, 'Content-Length', LENGTH(l_envelope));
    UTL_HTTP.set_header(l_http_request, 'SOAPAction', p_action);
    UTL_HTTP.write_text(l_http_request, l_envelope);
    l_http_response := UTL_HTTP.get_response(l_http_request);
    UTL_HTTP.read_text(l_http_response, l_envelope);
    UTL_HTTP.end_response(l_http_response);
    l_response.doc := XMLTYPE.createxml(l_envelope); -- Error Line
    l_response.envelope_tag := p_request.envelope_tag;
    l_response.doc := l_response.doc.extract('/'||l_response.envelope_tag||':Envelope/'||l_response.envelope_tag||':Body/child::node()',
    'xmlns:'||l_response.envelope_tag||'="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"');
    show_envelope(l_response.doc.getstringval());
    check_fault(l_response);
    RETURN l_response;
    END;
    I tried invoking the service by passing username and password in LDE tool and captured the Request SOAP Message. I saw username/password encrypted to "Y29tcGxpYW5jZS5nZW46Y29tcGxpYW5jZQ11". Hence tried with that.
    I have also tried the below line for authentication but it is not working.
    utl_http.set_authentication(l_http_request, 'myusername', 'mypassword','Basic',false);
    Pls assist me in resolving this.
    Thanks,
    PKV

    One more update i tried printing l_http_response.status_code and got 302.
    Thanks,

  • Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from internet that was fine with Leopard. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Try two things with Safari not running:
    1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using".  If it's checked, try unchecking it.
    2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin.  If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
    Then see how things work.

    The Ask Toolbar is probably causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Disable that extension or un-install it.

  • I can't open my work web site it lets me go right to the login page and won't open how can I fix this

    I can't open my work web site it let's me go to the login page then it won't go any further how do I fix this

    To see whether this problem is caused by the new HTML5 parser feature in Firefox 4, you can turn it off like this:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''html5''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''html5.parser.enable''' to toggle it to false (it will turn bold).
    Then return to your work site and reload the page.
    Does that make any difference? If so, you can leave it that way. If not, you might as well switch it back (double-click that preference again to toggle it back to true.)
    If not, and you need to roll back, here's the process:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 4.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
    Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

  • Can you open files on a pc from time machine?

    Can you open files on a pc from time machine?

    You have to be more descriptive. Partition what?
    File sharing can be accomplished many ways,.
    Network

    NAS
    DVDs
    It is as simple as copying/saving from one computer/drive to another computer/drive.

    Can I open iPad keynote and iPad pages on a PC Microsoft word and a PC Microsoft PowerPoint? also the other way around?

    Yes. You can export iPad Pages and Keynote files as Word and PowerPoint files and you can upload/transfer/email Word and PowerPoint files to the iPad and work on them in Pages and Keynote.
    Be advised that there will be some degree of formatting issues and also that the iOS versions of Pges and Keynote do not the full functionality of Word and PowerPoint on a computer.

    Have not a clue if this a LION problem or Microsoft problem.  My gut says Microsoft as they acknowledge the problem in their support section.  Their solution:  Open files with previous version of Word.  That is completely unacceptable as a solution in my opinion.  Why would have I ever bothered to upgrade to 2011 if I had known I need to keep a version of 2008 running on my computer. 
    Honestly I don't know if it's a Lion or MS problem eihter. I have been using Lion for many months with Office 2011 with no problems though.The earliest version I had on my machine was 2008 and 2011 opened those files with no problems at all. As Dave mentioned earlier he opens Office 2004 files all the time with 2011.
    One thing you might want to do is restart the computer while holding down the Option key then select the Restore Volume and run Disk Utility and repair the Disk Permissions on the HD. Run DP at least 2x.

  • How can I know the request is come from the link in header in the filter?

    I am using the tile for layout management and each page has a header, menu, and content body. I want to do something at the filter If the request is come from the commandlinks in the header and menu.
    How can I know the request is come from the link in header in the filter?

    Basically all you have to go on is the request data. Examine the encode/decode requirements for commandLink; you may be able to determine from the request attributes which commandLink has been invoked.
