Cgi & the portal server?

Hi -
I created some html documents which I used to replace some of the templates associated with the "look" of the desktop.
I can get these to display, and as internal documents, I have managed to keep the "lock" in the lower left hand corner.
Great .. now .. within these documents I have forms which point to .cgi scripts .. my question is .. how would I get cgi to execute from within this environment?
Where would I have to create a cgi-bin directory within the portal server so that it not only allows me to execute these scripts, but does so in a way which is treated as secure?
How would I point to it?
I am running the portal off a sun solaris machine with solaris 8 OS installed.
Any ideas as to where within the whole portal server setup it would be "most" advisable for me to create html pages which when pointed to from the desktop (not via channels) are treated as internal and thus secure?
I desperately need your help and advice .. please respond asap ..
Thanks in advance for your assistance ..
Sincerely .. jesus ..

Issue resolved:
Within the web server component of the portal setup .. create files and a cgi bin directory within public_html directory .. enter web based netscape enterprise web server admin console as administrator .. enable cgi within created directories ..
if you need further assistance with this .. please email me at:

  • Deploying a war file to the portal server

    Hi,
    I have downloaded a portlet (portletsamples.war) from the following URL,
    http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/portalserver/reference/techart/jsr168/
    Could I know how to deploy this war file to SUN ONE Portal server 6.0?
    --Muthu                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

    i used the following command
    /opt/SUNWps/bin/pdeploy deploy -u "amadmin" -w password -d "dc=cmarks,dc=com" -p password /opt/madiha/me.war
    It gives the error
    errorStoreDP (User does not have sufficient access.)
    1)does it matter if the portal server is started or not when we deploy?
    2)i am logged in to the machine as the super user "root" but yet it is throwing this error
    the error that i get in the pdeply.debug file is

    scanzano,
    I was wondering if you ever received and answer to this question, becuase I am faced with the same problem when I attempt a signon to the 'admin server' I receive the following message:
    type Status report
    message Invalid direct reference to form login page
    description The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect (Invalid direct reference to form login page).
    This is displayed as an "HTTP Status 400 - Invalid direct reference to form login page!!??" It appears that this message has been around for a while so I'm wondering if this issue will ever get resolved??

    Dear,
    You could change heap size to solve your issue.
    However, you wrote that you could not start config tool.
    Config tool could work only after database start up normally.
    Please, check database is running before config tool usage.

  • Where do I assign what permissions a role admin person has on the portal server?

     

    Hi,
    The Portal server admin or Domain administrator of that role can assign permission to a role admin as follows.
    Goto: Adminconsole > Managedomains > Domain name > Role > role admin > policy
    In the "Policy Module" you can specify whatever permissions you wants to assign to the role admin.
    Thanks,

    It does not accept any user, the only solution to go forward, is to click on "cancel" ... and then it is working )
    The same error comes at the end of the document editing.
    What is very strange, is that with some other desktops I do not have the pop-up, and I've no idea why (I did already check IE parameters, I tried with user that are not admin of the portal server, ...)
    Do someone have an idea ?
    Thank you and kind regards
    Vincent

    Hi,
    maybe some computers not in same domain as portal.
    You need to be in the computer administrator group to edit locally.
    The computer's microsoft office need to be updated.
    The settings in url generator of portal are wrong.
    EDIT:
    If your portal server is in a domain, it's url in the url generator must include the domain name.

  • Caching strategies within the portal server.

    Could someone please explain the caching strageties available within the portal server?
    We would like the ability to cache the html returned from our getContent methods on a service by service level. Defining the cache duration would be helpful as well.
    I have seen the "max caching time (minutes)" in Domain --> Profile --> Session within the admin console but have not found any documentation to support the field.
    -thanks
    -matt

    That caching attribute is for session information. The session cache is updated every 3 minutes. Portal has no content (html) caching. You would have to write a custom provider that does that.

  • Can i install the Portal Server 7 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 ?

    hi all,
    Can i install Portal Server 7 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 ?
    Thnx in Advance.

    Hi All,
    After tearing my hair out for about 3 weeks I've figured following are the steps for installing Sun Portal Server 7 on RH Linux 4. These though help successful installation I am still struggling to get the Single Sign On for the sample applications working.
    1. Boot linux with the network cable disconnected. (cable disconnected or wireless disabled is very important).
    2. set Hostname to localhost.localdomain
    3. Start INstaller (I always used the root login).
    4. Once the components list comes up "select All" then unselect "Sun POrtal Server 7" and "Sun Java System Portal Secure Remote Access". (trust me firends I am not kidding around).
    5. Follow steps of installation. Provide a password wherever requested. Highly suggested that you note down the options and the values you are entering in each step. Its about 20 page installer. Also whereever host and domain is asked for use localhost.localdomain. IP should be 127.0.0.1. Valid IP and valid domain name will also work but I haven't gone that route yet.
    6. Take special note of the LDAP Admin Password and LDAP user password. Note the usernames too. The admin password and user passwords HAVE to be different. DO NOT Forget the admin password. Default admin name is amAdmin.
    7. Go ahead and let the installation complete.
    8. I always used localhost.localdomain as domain name and host name and IP to loopback address 127.0.0.1
    Once the installation is complete start newly installed server in the following sequence
    A. To start localhost slapd:
    cd /var/opt/sun/directory-server/slapd-localhost/
    ./start-slapd
    cd /var/opt/sun/directory-server/
    ./start-admin
    (you can test here by running ./startconsole and loggin in using the admin username and password (you you should have remembered those... don't tell me I didn't warn you :)...)
    B. To start Sun Java System Application Server
    cd /opt/sun/appserver/bin
    ./asadmin start-domain --user [username] --passwordfile [a simple txt file with only the password in it] [domain name]
    e.g.
    ./asadmin start-domain user admin passwordfile adminpassword.txt domain1 OR
    ./asadmin start-domain user admin password pass123 domain1
    takes a few seconds to kick it off.
    open browser and go to http://localhost.localdomain:8080/ to check if application server is running
    C. To start Identity Server
    cd /opt/sun/identity/bin
    ./amserver start
    Now go to the SunPortal Server installer again and run it.
    9. In the screen that asks whether you want to install only or configure select configure now.
    10. Fill in required parameters like password. and user name. ( I kept ALL default and used the same password all throughout except for LDAP admin, I am doing this for a PoC so security be damned at the moment ).
    11. Be sure to fill in the correct LDAP admin and user passwords because else installation will fail.
    12. Let the installation roll
    13. At about 38% it will give a popup warning configuration may take upto an hour. If you get to click on this popups ok button good things are progressing fine. If not some server didn't start right.
    14. Takes about 15 minutes (depends on machine config) after you hit okay for the configuration to complete. Anything lesser check logs for any failure notices.
    15. IF all success reported congratulations!!!
    16. Goto http://localhost.localdomain:8080/portal/ to go to portal home page
    IT STILL DOESN"T WORK!!! HELP!!!
    Folks after all I said above it still doesn't work. When I go to any of the portal server Sample Applications and try to log in using the default usernames
    Community Samples has test/test
    Enterprise Sample has mary/mary ed/ed etc
    I cannot log in... The screen simply refreshes but doesn't go anywhere.
    I am suspecting this is because the domain and host is pointing to localhost.localdomain instead it should be given a valid domain name and a valid host and a valid IP instead of 127.0.0.1. If anyone can throw anymore light on this I'll be grateful.

  • Where do the portal server saves all the NWDS plugins

    Hello,
    Where do the portal server saves on his side all the plugins/packages that are available in my NWDS and does it have other packages that I don't have and need?

    10X Harish but I am looking for the folder themselfs as they appear at the NWDS plugins directory...
    I found many of them at the ...\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\portal\portalapps. Is this the right place?
    And another question: Often I can't find any available imports on the NWDS plugins but I find it on the server, for example:
    com.sapportals.portal.pcd.gl.IPcdAttribute is not available at any of the NWDS plugins but it is available on the server at: com.sap.portal.pcd.glservice\lib\gl_api.jar. Why is that?

  • Display a Calendar View in the Portale Server

    Hi, we use portal server 6.2 and we want to display a view of the calendar inside a channel of the portal.
    We know that portal have a calendar provider but we really didn't understand how can we use this provider to call a custom view of the calendar.
    Is it possible to display a custom view of the calendar inside a page of the portal ?
    Thanx

    Probably better to be posting this in the Calendar forum.
