Clafirication on Login Detials when using JNDI in Toplink

Hi,
I am using Toplink in my application for connecting to Database using JNDI ,which is specified in session.xml ,given below
<toplink-configuration>
<session>
<name>default</name>
<project-xml>META-INF/toplinkMapping.xml</project-xml>
<session-type>
<server-session/>
</session-type>
<login>
<datasource>jdbc/PROD</datasource>
</login>
</session>
</toplink-configuration>
but in the toplinkMapping.xml mapping file i also have an entry for Login Credentials .
The partial xml mapping file for Login details is given below.
<toplink:login xsi:type="toplink:database-login">
<toplink:platform-class>oracle.toplink.platform.database.oracle.Oracle10Platform</toplink:platform-class>
<toplink:user-name>stage</toplink:user-name>
<toplink:password>0186BD6F6439FA38D570EB1C6286D1EB41782C546151871A</toplink:password>
<toplink:driver-class>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</toplink:driver-class>
<toplink:connection-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1522:DEV</toplink:connection-url>
</toplink:login>
Can anyone please explain why the login details are required here in the mapping file ,while iam connecting DataBase through JNDI using DataSources in the Session.xml
Thanks in advance

Hi Jeremy,
I've tried adding:
php_value upload_max_filesize 30M
to the .htaccess file but I get a 500 Internal Server Error
Seems like using .htaccess files has been deactivated by your host.
Please try with adding...
...on line 1 of the script which needs that, and see if that works -- if even this doesn´t work, I fear I can´t provide any other suggestion than transferring your site to a hosting provider which handles stuff the standard way and doesn´t force you to use such odd workarounds, which I have never heard of.
Sorry, needed to get that off my chest, but some hosting companies out there are really strange :-)
The problem is that I use the php.ini files to override the server setting
I suspect (can be wrong though) that the php.ini file placed in whatever directory will start "from scratch" everytime a document in that folder is "triggered", and that´s why the session of page A are getting destroyed on page B

Database login windows when using DataSet ( CR2008 )

After executing this code, I get a database login window when using a DataSet, wondering why I am asked for user/pwd when using DataSets.

Thanks Jonathan for the tip. I tried it before and after the setDatabaseLogin call yesterday, but got the same results. I'm still going to follow your suggestion because that makes more sense.
Turns out it was the configuration of my ODBC/System DSN that was causing the problem. I reconfigured the System DSN by clearing the check box to provide username/password and now I don't get the Database Login anymore.
I found a different blog post that answered the OLE DB issue I was seeing where the DatabaseName was coming up blank:
Login Error Database at Runtime
Haven't tried it yet and probably won't because I got the Viewer to work with ODBC the way I like it.
Thanks for the help!

Avoid Database Login prompt when using CrystalReportViewer

Is there a way to keep the Database Login prompt from coming up when using Crystal Reports runtime 2008 SP2? I'm using that plus Visual Studio 2008 to develop a Windows Form application to view reports on a client machine that accesses data on a seperate SQL Server 2005 machine. My customer would like to avoid having users manually enter anything everytime a report is opened with the Crystal Reports viewer.
I've used the following code with ODBC and OLE DB report connections. When I use ODBC, the prompt comes up with Integrated Security checked which must be cleared. When I use OLE DB, the prompt comes up with Database Name blank and greyed out so I cannot manually enter it.
Am I missing something here?
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms
Public Class Form1
    Private Sub setDatabaseLogon(ByVal myConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo)
        Dim logOnInfos As TableLogOnInfos = CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo
        For Each logOnInfo As TableLogOnInfo In logOnInfos
            logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = myConnectionInfo
        Nex
    End Sub
    Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReports()
        Dim myConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo()
        setDatabaseLogon(myConnectionInfo)
        myConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "ClearView"
        myConnectionInfo.UserID = "reports"
        myConnectionInfo.Password = "dstreports"
        myConnectionInfo.IntegratedSecurity = False
    End Sub
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        ConfigureCrystalReports()
    End Sub
End Class

Display Login failure when using External Custom Login Form

I am new to OAM area and really apreciate if some one can guide me in the right direction. I have configured External Custom Login Form (thanks to fusionsecurity blog) with Oracle Access Manager 11g + webgate 10g. If I enter correct user id and password in the below form, then all is good and able to access the protected resoruce.
If I enter incorrect values for loginname/password fields, then the from simply refreshes itself and does not give me any error message. How can display error message when a user enters in correct values for those fields?
<form action="http://hostname:7777/oam/server/auth_cred_submit" method="post">
<fieldset>
<legend>Login Screen</legend>
<label for="username" accesskey="u">User Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="username" name="username" size="15" tabindex="1">
<label for="password" accesskey="p">Password:</label>
<input type="password" id="password" name="password" size="15" tabindex="2">
<input type="hidden" name="login-form-type" value="pwd">
<input class="submit" type="submit" value="Login" tabindex="3">
</fieldset>
</form>
Thanks

Hi!
I have installed Oracle Access Manager 11g + Webgate 11g and not 10g, but I think
it has to work beause login is being processed by OAM (/oam/server/auth_cred_submit);
and it if does not work, it may give you a clue on how to do it.
Having stated that fact, it is very simple to do it: whenever I try to access a protected
resource and I am not authenticated I am redirected to my login page and some
special parameters are passed to it such as: request_id, OAM_REQ, authn_try_count and
some others.
authn_try_count is the magic one as it show the number of login tries, so here is
a code snippet of my login page which uses JSTL for conditional processing.
<form...>
<c:if test="*${param['authn_try_count'] > 0}*">
<span class="error-msg">
<fmt:message key="login.val.wrong.login"/>
</span>
</c:if>
</form>

Why being prompted for login/password when using OVDC, smart card,token/vdi

Hello,
I'm using VDI 3.2.1, OVDC, smart card and i assigned a smart card token to a desktop pool.
Inserting the smart card triggers a new VDI desktop selector which prompts for the login and password.
Is there any reason why VDI is prompting for the login/password in the VDI selector when using a smart card especially that the smart card token has been assigned to a desktop pool ?
Thanks
Thierry.

You still have to authenticate to get a desktop. If you assigned a token to a pool, the ability to be assigned a desktop is based on the token not the user ID. That means that any user will be assigned a desktop if they use that card.

Getting AADSTS50020 error on microsoft login page when using Azure Active Directory Authentication

We have implemented Azure Ad single sign on using auto generated code from Visual studio 2013 with organization account authentication and its working fine.
The problem is when user is logged in in azure management portal with his live account and in other tab he try to open our app, then he directly gets below error on Microsoft login page.
Additional technical information:
Correlation ID: 78e13474-6f92-40ec-b463-91e36a6dae84
Timestamp: 2015-04-14 12:27:20Z
AADSTS50020:
User account '[email protected]' from external
identity provider 'live.com' is not supported for application
'https://xxxxx.onmicrosoft.com/xxxx'. The account needs to
be added as an external user in the tenant. Please sign out and sign in
again with an Azure Active Directory user account.
It works fine if I log out from management portal. Is there any way to resolve this issue without forcing user to log out from live account(management portal)?

I assume you created a web application using VS2013 which uses the WS-Federation protocol.
The behavior that you are seeing is expected Single-sign-on because you are logged in using the live account in the management portal.
For WS-Federation, there is no current way for a caller to specify they want to force a fresh login, so the behavior is always the equivalent of LoginBehavior.Normal.
The user will need to either sign-out or use an in-private session in the browse.
If you switch to openID connect(sample at
https://github.com/AzureADSamples/WebApp-OpenIDConnect-DotNet) and use the “prompt=login” query paramerter in the sign in request, this will force a fresh login.

Is it possible to force the user to login again when using oauth 2 (implicit grant)

Hi,
I'm trying to build an application based on a rest webservice in APEX which is being accessed by a javascript frontend via ORDS. I'm using the "Implicit grant" flow of OAUTH 2.
When the user is finished with the application, he/she should be able to logout of the application, so another user can login (on the same machine and browser). But, without clearing all cookies, ORDS will automatically give an access token for the previous user, without showing the login screen to allow/deby access to the rest web service.
(Clearing the cookies is not possible via javascript, since they are httponly)
I know it is not the "normal" way to use oauth2, but I would like to be able to log-out a user. So how can I force ORDS to show the loginscreen again to give another user the possibility to login?
Alexander

You can force the implicit code flow to prompt the user to sign in by including _auth_=force in the approval request query string. To follow the example shown in the developer guide [1]
change:
https://server:port/ords/resteasy/oauth2/auth?response_type=token&client_id=CLIENT_IDENTIFIER&state=STATE
to:
https://server:port/ords/resteasy/oauth2/auth?response_type=token&client_id=CLIENT_IDENTIFIER&state=STATE&_auth_=force

AuthenticationFailedException when using JNDI and JavaMail with SMTP auth

Hi all - I've been banging my head on this one for awhile now - hopefully someone else has done this.
We are working in a servlet container (tomcat), and need obtain a mail session from JNDI. We do this as follows:
               Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
               Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
               Session mailSession=(Session) envCtx.lookup("mailSession/trumpetinc");so far so good. The jndi entry for the mail session is configured in server.xml as follows:
          <Resource name="mailSession/trumpetinc" scope="Shareable" type="javax.mail.Session"/>
          <ResourceParams name="mailSession/trumpetinc">
            <parameter>
              <name>mail.smtp.host</name>
              <value>mail.server.com</value>
            </parameter>
            <parameter>
              <name>mail.smtp.password</name>
              <value>ABCDEFG</value>
            </parameter>
            <parameter>
              <name>mail.smtp.user</name>
              <value>trumpet_kevin</value>
            </parameter>
         <parameter>
           <name>mail.smtp.auth</name>
           <value>true</value>
         </parameter>
          </ResourceParams>With the above, whenever we hit Transport.send(msg), we got an AuthenticationFailedException thrown. I have run into this before with SMTP authentication, so I decided to try using the transport.sendMessage() method instead.
So, I get the transport:
Transport trans = mailSession.getTransport("smtp");
trans.connect();Then I send my message using:
msg.saveChanges();
trans.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());and finally, I close the transport:
trans.close();Unfortunately, I'm still getting the exception. Is it possible that my connect() method is not picking up the JNDI properties set in the server.xml file (this seems likely)? If so, what's the best way for me to get those properties so I can set them explicitly in the connect() method?
Thanks in advance,
- Kevin

Hi,
I have faced the same problem and after some googling and trying I have discovered what causes the AuthenticationFailedException exception. I just wanted to share the knowedge maybe it will be helpfull to others.
Here it is what the API says:
To use SMTP authentication you'll need to set the mail.smtp.auth property (see below) and provide the SMTP Transport with a username and password when connecting to the SMTP server. You can do this using one of the following approaches:
1.Provide an Authenticator object when creating your mail Session and provide the username and password information during the Authenticator callback.
Note that the mail.smtp.user property can be set to provide a default username for the callback, but the password will still need to be supplied explicitly.
This approach allows you to use the static Transport send method to send messages.
2.Call the Transport connect method explicitly with username and password arguments.
This approach requires you to explicitly manage a Transport object and use the Transport sendMessage method to send the message. The transport.java demo program demonstrates how to manage a Transport object. The following is roughly equivalent to the static Transport send method, but supplies the needed username and password:
Using the Transport.connect makes the JNDI not very helpfull for configuration.
It seems that using just the mail.smtp.user and mail.smtp.pass is not sufficient for the authentication.
so, the solution is :
just place these to lines in the JNDI configuration:
          username="test"
          password="test1"
so it should looks as follows:
          <Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container"
          type="javax.mail.Session"
          username="test"
          password="test1"
          mail.transport.protocol="smtp"
          mail.smtp.auth="true"
          mail.smtp.host="localhost"
          mail.smtp.port="25"
          mail.smtp.user="test"
          mail.smtp.password="test1"
/>
where test and test1 are the user's credentials

How to pop up a login screen when using menu?

I have created a Menu. Now I want to create a login form, means login form will be the first form where there will be a button of log in. As soon as an user click that button a login screen should be popped up. Then user will enter the login id and password and then he is connected. Now he/she can access to other forms in the menu. Could you please tell me how to do that?

You can start a form without login in by putting "null;" in the on-logon trigger and the put logon in the menu that you want the user to select to login.
Search this forum for the login code. It has some finer points when it comes to exception handling that are not obvious.

Random Apple ID login request when using iCloud from new phone

Please help. I have logged onto my Apple ID in the set up on my iPhone 5s to restore back up from my 4s from iCloud. After I select a backup to use it asks me to enter a password for a different Apple ID that is not mine, I have never heard of and do not have the password for. I've checked and double-checked and I can't see that it is my error or a previous login etc. What can I do? Many thanks

Sorted now- please ignore

Crystal reports "Database login failed" when using push method

I have a web application (ASP.NET, .NET v3.5), that pushes data to a CR 2008 report. On two servers one of the three reports returns a "Database login failed" error. I am stumped since there is no login, it's push not pull; in addition the problem is hard to debug since it works fine from my developers workstation. I have "updated" the xsd in that report, reinstalled the app, etc., non of which helped. If anyone has a solution or even ideas I'd appreciate the help.

What about following the troubleshooting steps as described in the blog;
Create an XML file off of your dataset. Make sure this is done just before you set the dataset to the report:
rpt.Load(rptPath)
myDataset.WriteXml(xmlPath, XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema)
rpt.SetDataSource(myDataset)
Copy the above created XML to your development system
Open the problem report in the Crystal Reports designer
In the Desigger, go to the Database menu and select u201CSet Datasource Locationu201D
In the u201CReplace with:u201D pane, expand the u201CCreate New Connectionu201D folder.
Double click the u201CADO .NET (XML)u201D icon
Browse to the location of the XML file you created in step (1)
Click on the path to the XML. The <Update> button should enable
Click on the <Update> button
Typically, either of the following will happen:
You will get a u201CMap Fieldsu201D dialog. This indicates that the XML written off of your dataset does not match what the report is expecting. This may be due to incorrect fields name, incorrect field type, etc. You will now need eliminate the difference.
Incorrect data or no data. There is an issue with your dataset and you need to determine why the data is not present in your dataset. Looking at the XML may be a good place to start.

When using JNDI datasource no SQL logging is done

That is correct. SQL logging is performed in our connection/statement
wrappers. So if you use your own, we do not have the opportunity to perform
logging, as we are not wrapping the connection or statement.

Passing a login and password while using JNDI for RT jobs

Why can we not pass a user name and password when using JNDI for Real Time jobs? Can it be passed in the URL line or somewhere else that I'm missing? This is frustrating as we actually have to connect using Anonymous with no password which opens up so many security holes that we simply can't go to production with this. Please advise.

you can set the login using the JNDI properties file and create the file in the classpath, but again the password will be in plain text
please file a case with Support I think this can be added to JMS adapter operation (user credentials)

I have a iphone 5 and I can login with my apple id to purchase music. However, when I try to login into icloud using the very same username and password that I use in the apple store it does not work to enter icloud, so what what gives???

I have a iphone 5 and I can login with my apple id to purchase music. However, when I try to login into icloud using the very same username and password that I use in the apple store it does not work to enter icloud, so what what gives???

I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.
