Cocoa Application Registration

hello,
just wondering: are there any online tutorials for creating a registration system for a cocoa application ? I've been googling and can't find any.
*looking specifically for info for how to generate a code based on the user's mac address, and then to generate a working auth code, which the app will use to unlock the app.

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
Now I have sucessfully created the plug-in and I have placed it in the internet - plugin directory as well. In addition to this I have configured the MIME type as well and set it to a custom type Simp. Now I want to try my plugin . How can I do this ? there is something given Here : http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/InternetWeb/Conceptual/WebKitPluginProgTopic/Concepts/AboutPlugins.html#//appleref/doc/uid/30001248-198944
Where it asks to add a piece of code under OBJECT tags in the HTML page. then I opened this page in safari but the plugin was not called. . What should I do to get this called.
Thanks in advance
Best Regards
Sudeep

Partner Application Registration

When using the Administer Partner Applications page, it appears the application is not being registered completely. The information does not appear in the WWSEC_ENABLER_CONFIG_INFO$ table, as has been suggested in prior posts (everything is fine in WWSSO_PAPP_CONFIGURATION_INFO$).
I am attempting to deploy the SSO SDK demo PL/SQL application, which works fine when logged into Portal. However, when not logged into Portal, I receive the following errors:
"Error in application: missing application registration information
Please register this application as described in installation guide"
This error is driven by the PL/SQL exception:
"wwsec_sso_enabler_private.enabler_config_not_found"
What am I missing? I have created several Partner applications, and none of them appear in the WWSEC_ENABLER_CONFIG_INFO$ table. I have sucessfully loaded the SSOHash into my partner schemas.
Environment:
Win2000
Portal 3.0.7
Thanks in advance...

Paul,
Thanks for the info; however, I'm still unable to get the SSO SDK sample, or any partner app, to work.
I have read the docs, what little there is, and followed the steps closely. Everything executes ok.
I have several questions:
1. When executing the REGAPP.SQL script that comes with the SDK, it indicates to login as the partner schema. I have noticed when running this script, the entry is stored in the partner schema table WWSEC_ENABLER_CONFIG_INFO$, not the one owned by Portal. Is this correct?
2. My partner app is really a PL/SQL Server Page (PSP) application which uses the same server as Portal. When entering the Listener Token name, I have been using the same server name as Portal. Is this a problem? What is this token used for? Must it be unique for each partner application?
3. In your response you mentioned changes to the REGAPP script. I found no mention of any changes in the docs with SSO SDK. Am I missing something?
Finally, is there any better documentation for the SDK and/or partner application configuration. The readme and install files do not, in my opinion, pass as documentation.
Thanks...

LMS application registration problem

Hi,
I have a problem with the application registration of Campus Manager 5.2.1 under LMS 3.2.
Right now in the "Functional" tab of the LMS portal the "Campus Manager" view is empty.
In "Common Services" - "Server" - "Home Page Admin" - "Application Registration" Campus Manager is missing in the list of registered applications.
I can connect to the Campus Manager using the direct link http://<servername>:1741/campus/adminIntro.do.
The "CM" tab on the LMS portal page works.
I tried to register it this way:
In the CS Homepage Admin I click on "Register" - "Register from Templates" - "Next"
Then I get the list of templates. I select "Campus Manager" - "Next".
I enter these values:
Server name: fully qualified name of the server
Server Display Name: hostname of the server
Port: 1741
Protocol: http
When I click on "Next" - "Finish" the Campus Manager is not added to the list of registered application and I get no error message.
Did I enter wrong values? Where can I find corresponding log/debug messages?

It sounds like the CMIC database may be corrupt. There is a process to recover this, but it's somewhat complicated. If you open a TAC service request, your engineer can walk you through the process. This will clear out the CMIC database and reregister all applications. That should sort you out.

Getting error like "Error in portal_sso_redirect: missing application registration information" while trying to run application using Oracle SSO

Hi All,
I am trying to implement SSO authentication for my APEX application. I have registered the application as a SSO partner application.
I have set the authentication scheme to Oracle Application server Single Sign On.
When i run the application i am getting the below error.
Error in portal_sso_redirect: missing application registration information: p_partner_app_name:g_listener_token:HTML_DB:ofss220104.in.oracle.com:5050Please register this application as described in the installation guide.
Please help me to resolve this.
Thanks and Regards,
Suhas

Suhas,
After you registered your application as a SSO partner application did you use the information from Oracle SSO (home URL, success URL, Logout URL, app_name etc) and loaded it into the APEX_SSO schema using the regapp.sql script from the ssosdk?

Application Registration Question

I have an htmldb application which was successfully implemented using my old PC.
I've just unpacked by new PC and now when I attempt to run my htmldb application I am getting the following error. Can anyone help me correct this?
Thanks
Error in portal_sso_redirect: missing application registration information:
p_partner_app_name:g_listener_token:HTML_DB:apex.oraclecorp.com:80
Please register this application as described in the installation guide

Let me clarify. I did not copy the application from the old PC to the new. It isn't even stored on my PC.
My application is stored in HTMLDB and I access it by going to apex.oraclecorp.com where I login to a workspace provided for me.
All I have done is attempt to run the application by connecting to apex.oraclecorp.com using my new PC.
I don't understand why that should be any different than using my old PC.
My new PC has no SSO problems when accessing mail or files online.
My co-worker has used her PC to run my application - following the same steps I did - and is able to run the application w/ no problem.
Another tidbit. I created a new test application using my new PC in the same workspace provided, and it runs fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ron

Can cocoa applications run on lion?

Can cocoa applications run on lion?

In my first reply I used the word 'language' where I should have used 'interface' since Cocoa is an API. Sorry.
You are correct with your history. It is the dropping of Rosetta which is causing Lion to no longer support PowerPC code. This is one of the major compatibilty problems of Lion. There are also other changes in Lion which will cause applications that would seem to be compatable to not run. In those case you need newere verion of the applications to run with Lion.

Transfer former application registrations/serials upon clean install

Hi,
I wasn't positive if this was the right forum for this post... I just reinstalled OS X (have done this often) and one problem I always run into is needing to re-enter all my serial codes. This isn't a problem for 99% of my applications (I just dig out my iWork box, hunt down my email to the folks at iBank from the last time I had to request my code...). What would help is to know as I'm migrating my data if there's a file where all of this is stored so I can just copy that file.
iTunes for example, keeps thinking I'm copying my data onto a separate computer, so even though I'm just copying my music from my backup drive onto my clean install Music folder, I get the warning: 'You have now used this music on x of your 5 allowable computers' or something like that. I was up to 3 or so the last time, so I'm running out of times!
Anyone know how to let the new install realize it's still me and keep all my former registrations and serial codes and such?
-John

Very, very cool. I read the page. I already re-installed Leo, so it's too late to wipe the 'old' computer, as in, I'm assuming iTunes will already see me as a 'new computer' since wherever it hides its authentication (maybe /Library /System or somewhere in /Users/Library??) is now wiped and reinstalled? I also don't know it's method... user name identification, matching UUID, some file stored once you authenticate??
Anyway, I don't reinstall 5x per year, so I'll just wait until my 5 are done and then use the method you provided to de-authenticate all the computers iTunes thinks I'm on and then re-authenticate the current system.
Thanks much for that reference!
-John

Application registration algorithm

I'm writing a small shareware app that I would ideally like people to register. This is the classic, if they send in the registration code 'xxxxxx', then I can send the unlock code 'YYYYY' situation.
Three criteria:
1) I would like the registrtaion code xxxxx to be unique. I am toying with the idea of storing the date in millisecs of when the app was first run on the system. If anyone has any better suggestions, I would love to hear them.
2) I would really like to have the algorithm myself. i.e. I don't plan to make enough off of this to be worth purchasing a library.
3) This does not need to be incredibly secure. Just enough to keep the casual person from
Does anyone out there have an algorithm they are willing to share to accomplish this?
Thanks all. This falls into the 'I know it has to be a known problem, but I'm not sure where to start' category.

Unless I am misunderstanding, I think that I'm addressing what you mentioned. Let me recap and see if I can make it more clear.
1) Client sends you an identifier and saves it to the client's disk.
String start = "" + System.currentTimeMillis();
start = start.substring( start.length() - 5, start.length() );
//this pulls off the last 6 numbers from the first run time and converts to a string.
// this is written to a file on the client side and then sent to me for registration.
2) You (the server) send back a hash of the identifier.
//registration app
String start = codeSentFromCustomer;
String superSecretDecoderString = "Secret Code";
start = start + superSecretDecoderString;
String result = MD5.getHashString( start );
result = result.substring( result.length() - 9, result.length() );
//this takes the 6 digits provided and appends "Secret Code".
// i.e. if the customer's code is "333232", then "333232Secret Code" is fed into MD5.
// I then send the customer the last 10 digits from my MD5 hash, say "1234567890" for simplicity sake
3) Clients types the unlock code ("1234567890") into the registration box, which is then saved to disk.
// to check on the unlock code's validity, I...
String superSecretDecoderString = "Secret Code";
String start = originalCodeFromAbove; //i.e. "333232" in this example
start = start + superSecretDecoderString; //now start = "333232Secret Code"
String result2 = MD5.getHashString( start );
result2 = result2.substring( result2.length() - 9, result2.length());
// I compare the result2 to the stored unlock code to make sure they are equal
// superSecretDecoderString is stored within the client and the registration prog's code. i.e.
// the customer never sees that string.
4) At each startup the client code checks the hash of sent ID against the return he has stored.
// run through the validation code detailed in #3.I think it addresses what you were referring to, but if it doesn't please tell me. It's my first crack at this sort of code, and I'd much rather discover any gaping holes now than later. :)
thanks again

Cocoa UI application and fork(). Help needed!

Hi! I'm writing Cocoa application which use fork() to create child process (I can't use NSThread). I'm trying to display new window from child process. I have a subclass of NSWindow and .nib. In child process a call this code:
MyWindow *win = [[MyWindow alloc] init];
[win showWindow];
showWindow is a method in my class MyWindow:
- (void) showWindow{
[NSWindow loadNibNamed:@"MyWindow.nib" owner: self];
[win makeKeyAndOrderFront: nil]; //win is variable that "handles" entire window: id win;
When I run my app I can see:
<NSInternalInconsistencyException> Error (1002) creating CGSWindow
I found that this exception comes while doing alloc - init.
Any ideas how to create window in child process after fork()?
Thanks.

Hi,
As you've probably found out, the distributed database test case is easy to set up and test. Most knowledgeable database developers could knock up a test case in less than an hour.
For the XML scenario, not being an XML expert I'm not too sure exactly where to start. I know that Apex can create reports based on a web service. This is a standard open architecture whereby a consumer, such as your Apex report, can make a call to a remote provider for information. The provider then sends back the information in the form of XML which the Apex report then interprets to produce a report.
Typical providers would be anyone wishing to distribute information for unknown consumers. A typical provider could be a cinema chain which wants to publish session times for movies and a typical consumer in this case may be a web site that provides cinema session times for the public by querying all the cinema chains in your city. This assumes that all the cinema chains have provided web services for this information and that the cinema session times website knows how to consume them. This is great because it is an open standard across the internet, but it is not very fast or secure.
In your case, I would doubt that each faculty database system is set up as a web service provider. You would then have to work out how to place a call to each database in order for it to process the request and return with an XML file for you to consume. I would call this reinventing the wheel of distributed database technology.
I can understand your need to prove your case, but I doubt whether this forum will be able to provide you with a lot of information in order to get your XML test case up and running. Perhaps you should try posting on one of the XML related areas in this forum. You may get more technical information, but I fear you may also get the same reaction of why are you even considering XML in this case.

Andre

Error while deploying an Agentry application on SMP 2.3 Server

Hello Experts,
I am trying to deploy a customized SAPWM application on the SMP 2.3 server.
I am referring to the tutorial maintained at the following URL :http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-43353
I have zipped the contents of the application folder (under Serverdev) and added the required DLLs and JAR files.
While deploying using SCC (Control center), I get an error which says "Application registration failed".
Under logs, I could find the following entry:
[com.syclo.agentry.admin.implementation.ClientStatusSocket] [] []     [System Connections] not found - please use editor to publish application then restart the server.
Thread-1128 [com.syclo.agentry.admin.implementation.ClientStatusSocket] [] []     11:25:31 04/25/2014 25 General 0 Unknown Exception [System Connections] section not found in Agentry.ini file (Publish from editor to correct), agent\ChickamingAgent.cpp#2423:ChickamingAgent::startup

The deployed zip file looks like this:
I also checked up another thread (Setup Work Manager on SMP2.3) on the same post, but the thread owner was able to resolve the issue after he stopped the server instance and deployed again. However, it didn't work for us.
Questions:
1) How can I export the application in ".agp" package?
2) How can we resolve the deployment error? The Agentry.ini contained within the package does have system connections section with HTTPXML, JavaBE and SQL DLL files.
Appreciate your help on the same.
Best,
Arihant Kothari

Hello Abhishek
thanks for your reply there.. We did get the app name as follows when we tried to deploy the application in SMP 2.3 "Even though it errored out saying - Unable to register the application"
D:\SAP\MobilePlatform\Servers\UnwiredServer\Repository\Agentry\default\com.sap.agentry.sapwm53
However we manually unzipped the agentry app into this folder as per instructions from agentry app deployment on SMP 3.0
What do you mean by "After your appname you should not have any other folder" - clearly if that is the case then we have "Development" folder and some additional folders beneath this.
Could you please suggest?
Thanks,
Raza.

Application.addEventListener not working as expected

I wanted to add a global KEY_DOWN event listener and
MOUSE_CLICK event listener to my app. The help files say to use the
application.addEventListener(type, handler) to do this. I added the
listeners in my creationComplete function but they do not work for
windows I popup. I know these windows are in the application scope
because I am setting application level model attributes in them
that the main window uses. Why are these events not registering
from popup windows if this is global?

No, you can't. The Apple Event "open files" will open one or more files. That is why the documentation says to use "application:openFiles:".
And it is present as well in the application delegate protocol reference nearby application:openFiles: and application:openTempFile: all in the "Opening Files" tasks group.
Why is one called in addition and not the other ? Is application:openTempFile: usage left to the reader guess?
They are delegate messages. Their only reason for existence is for the programmer to use as he or she sees fit. In one specific example, the Apple event "open files", one of these delegate methods is the recommended way to handle the "open files" Apple Event.
I did not found other answer in the Xcode documentation than the "How Cocoa Applications Handle Apple Events" paragraph of the Cocoa Scripting Guide OS (which is back to 10.4 as you noticed it) that advise to use application:openFiles: which brings me back to the other methods for opening files, some working, some not..
I'm not used to such a fluzziness in the documentation.
You are not used to the delegate pattern. This API has been in existence for 25 years across several, radically different, architectures. There is a lot of legacy there. If the documentation says to use method A and you discove that method B works too, you should switch to method A. There is no guarantee that method B will continue to work in the future. You have already discovered this as you keep trying to use techniques from 1991. Please, just use the recommended method. You have nothing to gain by trying other methods that have similar-sounding names and are described nearby to other methods in the documentation.

Application:openTempFile: not working as expected.

Maybe I understand wrongly but I read in the documentation about how a Cocoa app (not document based) opens files form another application (Finder or another one in my case), that it searches for the following methods in the application delegate and in this order :
The application delegate is sent this message, if it responds to it:application:openFiles:
If the delegate does not respond to that message, the handler checks, in the order listed, whether the application delegate responds to one of the following messages, and if so, sends it:
openTempFile:
openFiles:
openFile:
What I understand about it is that if you don't implement openFiles: it will look for openTempFile: first, then openFiles: (again ?) then openFile:
It's not clear why it would come back for openFiles: a second time if it tried and failed in the first attempt and then tried and failed with openTempFile:
Anyway if I implement openFile: or openFiles: it works : my app is sollicited and the methods are called if present and in the order openFiles: if both are there, openFile: if it is alone.
But it never tries to use openTempFile: even when it is the sole one. Instead I have an Error dialogue
The document “temp005.pdf” could not be opened. MyApp cannot open files in the “Portable Document Format (PDF)” format.
Message that I don't get when MyApp has the openFiles: or openFile: method present in MyAppDelegate.
Could you help me to clarify this ?

SSO regapp registration with multiple net names

Hello!
I succesfully configured my apex engine to work with SSO authentication.
I used in regapp.sql
l_listener_token := 'HTML_DB:myhostname.mydomanin.com:7777';
and now the home page link works fine:
http://myhostname.mydomanin.com:7777/pls/htmldb/f?p=504:1
The problem is that I have some other network names (aliases) for the same IP (10.10.10.10) and I want these links to be functional as well:
http://myhostname2.mydomanin2.com:7777/pls/htmldb/f?p=504:1
http://10.10.10.10:7777/pls/htmldb/f?p=504:1
But when using them I get this error:
Error in portal_sso_redirect: missing application registration information:
p_partner_app_name:g_listener_token:HTML_DB:myhostname2.mydomanin2.com:7777
Please register this application as described in the installation guide
I tried to reuse the tokens I have for myhostname.mydomanin.com and register again regapp.sql with:
l_listener_token := 'HTML_DB:myhostname2.mydomanin2.com:7777';
But this violates unique constraint WWSEC_SECI_UK1 on WWSEC_ENABLER_CONFIG_INFO$.SITE_TOKEN column.
Question:
Is there a way to make functional the alternate links without getting new tokens (new SSO registrations to iAS)?
Thanks,
Sorin
