Confirmation link in registered users in Portals

Hello,
I am in the process of implementing External Portals and i would like to have a confirmation link within the email that users get when they have created themselves in Portals. So it is not possible to log into portals with a wrong email address.
Does anyone know how that is done?
Thanks,
Lisa

Lisa, would you be using the standard registration page or have you developed a custom page for this.
The requirement you have stated cannot be achieved out of the box and you will need to do custom development for this. Depending on your datasource you can have a registration form which asks for the users email address and then trigger an email along with a random code which you send to the email address entered and also save it in your database. Later when the user clicks on the confirmation page read the user paramaters and get the email address and confirmation code. Verfiy these details against the details in your datastore and then permit the user access.
Not sure if this is possible to achieve with the custom registration module since you wont be able to access the sap tables. But you can use a temp database in between and when confirm create the user in portal ume.
Thanks,
GLM

HEY SMART GUYS-CHECK YOUR LINK TO ARTICLE: Firefox makes random sounds KB article. CAN NOT ACCESS IT UNLESS YOUR ARE REGISTERED USER!!!!

Title says it all. New article "Firefox makes random sounds KB article" on main page http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+Support+Home+Page to help users with the Pac-man and siren sounds can only be accessed by those who are registered users. Not much help to most users here asking questions!!!
FIX IT!!!!!

Sorry, we got so much traffic on the site, it was taking a few minutes for the link to go live. I don't think a sticky is needed because most people posting to the forums don't read the forums first so it won't do much good.

Allow creation of Self Registered Users

Under Portal Settings in the Admin section is a checkbox to "Allow creation of Self Registered Users". And a note that says "Changes in these settings will take effect immediately."
I'd like to utilize this feature and have therefore checked the box, and made sure my custom login adaptive layout includes this tag: <pt:ptui.createaccount />
After giving the setting a good hour to work its magic, the view source shows that the tag creates just this: <span id="pt-login-create-account"></span>
I was assuming that there'd be some more code than that - at least a link!
Any idea what might be the issue? It seems like such a straight forward type of setting.
Thanks

The issue has been narrowed down slightly by including the problematic extranet login page as a portlet within our intranet - which then succeeds in displaying the page.
One item of note was that we have the admin area installed on both of our load balanced intranet servers - and each had to be set to allow creation of users via the admin interface before it could be seen by all. This is slightly disconcerting as we assumed they relied on the same data repository (db).
Fortunately, this might be a clue as to why it isn't working still on our extranet server.
The catch there is that we can't access the admin interface via our extranet - so I'm now in the process of trying to track down exactly where this value is saved to from the project settings page.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Solution--
I set our extranet to be able to display the admin section, restarted the server, logged in, checked that the admin setting was correct, reset the config file, restarted the portal and then the link magically appeared.
Lesson learned - don't trust the documentation when it says that a restart isn't required...

Access denied to NAS - OSStatus Error 2 - Cannot access as Registered User

Hi All,
I'm a recent convert to the MAC and working to get my MAC pro set up with everythig I need. I also purchased a time capsule which is now working fine. I understand that I can create a second backup to an external (Buffalo Linkstation LS-CHL 1.5TB) NAS using Time Machine and that it will alternately back up to each. However I am having problems accessing the other NAS. I have used the NAS web set up to confirm that it is set up as AFP and also make sure that it is formatted to be accessed by Apple machines. I have also set it up (a separate share) to be Time Machine compatible.
From Finder, I can connect as a guest without issue and also see the contents of the NAS drive. I am unable to connect as a registered user using any of the User Id's set up on the NAS. I can create folders and copy files to it however, so connecting as Guest and using in this way is ok. When I try to connect as a registered user, I receive the message "The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported".
When I go into my time machine settings, I can see and select the "NAS-Share" option from the list of drives. I select "Use Both". It then attempts to connect and brings me to the "Enter name and pw so TM can access it" I'm give the option of Guest or Registered user. Selecting registered user gives me the same message as in Finder above ("The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported"). When I select Guest, I get the error "The operation couldn't be completed, OSStatus error 2." I've surfed all over the web and tried many things, but as yet am unable to access the NAS Drive as a registered user.
Appreciate any help you can provide
regards
Mark

Abdul,
Go to Content Administrator->Portal Content ->Content Provided by SAP->Admin interfaces->Admin iView templetes->Webdynpro Proxy iView->Right click open->Permission->Search for the role "Administrator" ->Add it and assign "Read/write" permission to Administrator.check the checkbox "end user"-SAVE.now it will work for you!!

How to set up reverse proxy to allow user access portal site from internet

Hi all,
I have installed 10g(10.1.2.0.2) AS on same machine(single IP for both mid and infra with different users respectively). there is a DMZ on which windows IIS is working through which we need to redirect the request to application server such that users access portal page from internet (within intranet all URLs are working fine). I have went through technet documentation where i found 3 ways : through this link
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/core.1012/b13998/variants.htm
Section 9.2.1.1, "Configuring OracleAS Web Cache as a Reverse Proxy"
Section 9.2.1.2, "Configuring the Oracle HTTP Server as a Reverse Proxy"
Section 9.2.1.3, "Configuring Internet Information Services as a Reverse Proxy"
I am confused to which option to use. Also i went through the metalink document 270160.1
Please help me which option to choose to do this.
Thanks.

Hi Hozy,
May be it's too late, I am thinking to go in the same route for our sap portal access to external customers. Please can you share your experience , like what are the challenges have you faced? what is the complexity? what are all the resources we need to configure this?
I appreciate your feedback.
Thanks

Replication of Users from portal to R/3

Hi,
I would like to develop a portal functionnality that allows replication of users from portal to R/3. I know that the functionnality already exists in portal but we need to do another one because of special requirements. How could I find the java code of the existing functionnality to understand how SAP built it?
Thanks

How do I get connected to a server on my network via an IP address? When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

I am new to Mac...How do I get connected to a server on my network via a hyper link IP address path? When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

Some of the following is going to use some technical terms — this area is inherently somewhat technical.
If you don't understand some part of the following reply, please ask.
Is this your own OS X Server system on your own network, or is this some other server within some larger organization?
You're posting this in the OS X Server forum, which is a software package that allows OS X systems to provide web-based and many other services; to become servers.
If it's your OS X Server on your network, then the network and DNS configurations are suspect, or the server is somehow malfunctioning or misconfigured. This is unfortunately fairly common, as some folks do try to avoid setting up DNS services.
If it's a larger organization and somebody else is managing the server and the network, then you'll probably need to contact the IT folks for assistance; to learn the network setup and DNS requirements, and if there's a problem with the server itself.
The basic web URL "hyper link IP address path" — without using DNS — usually looks something the following, where you'll need to replace 10.20.30.40 with the IP address of your server:
http://10.20.30.40
UptimeJeff has posted a URL that specifies the AFP file system; an OS X file share. That's used if you're connecting to an Apple storage service somewhere on your network. You might alternatively need to specify smb://10.20.30.40 or such, if it's a Windows file server. (There can be additional requirements for connecting to Windows Server systems, too.)
If there's local IT staff available here, please contact them for assistance. If these are your own local systems and your own local OS X Server system, then some information on the server will be needed. (If you're on a NAT'd network, you'll also need to get DNS services configured and working on your local OS X Server system and your network — you'll not be able to skip this step and reference ISP DNS servers here — or things can and usually will get weird.)

Confirmation screen accessed by email with a confirmation link

Hi,
I have an application with 2 pages.
Page 1 is a new employee form. (used by any employee)
Page 2 is a form to confirm the data from Page 1. (used by HR)
I want HR to be notified by email when they have to confirm a new employee. I want something similar to the email Oracle sends me when my workspace on apex.oracle.com is idle for too long. (shame on me if this happen! :P)
example:
To prevent your workspace from being removed, please go to the Web address below and confirm your account within the next 7 days. Remember that you can always sign up for a new workspace in the future, should you not wish to confirm your existing one at this time.
Confirmation Link: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=41472:1:::::P1_SGID,P1_RID:3498619315552842220,79315112795249266565410311893274685909
Thank you,
The Oracle Application Express Team
In this email, we have a link to the application 41472. We go to page 1 and put values inside P1_SGID and P1_RID.
P1_SGID : I think this is a Security Group ID
P1_RID : I have no idea what's this ID
I need more information about those IDs and how do I generate them. I don't need to put an expiration date on the link (ex.: 7 days).
Currently, I send an email with the following link:
Confirmation Link: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=100:2:::::P2_FORM_ID:15165
The user needs to login and if he is someone from HR, he can access the form. I'd like to pass a "security id" so the user doesn't need to log to confirm a form.
Help is welcome! :)

Louis-Guillaume,
The random number is no different than a password, except that it's probably stronger than most. If you need to mix it up a bit, you can apply some sort of hash function to it.
Also, to mitigate a brute force attack, you can require an additional parameter so that the pair has to match. So, for instance, User Name. Then, you can expire the "key" if someone tries more than three invalid strings for a specific user name. Sure, you also lock out the legitimate user this way, but at least you kept out the bad guys.
Security is a combination of what you're protecting, who you're protecting it from, and what are the repercussions if the data is in fact, compromised. Using that forumula, you should be able to determine whether a single value is sufficient or if you need to apply additional constraints.
Thanks,

Send an activation link to new user's email ID in webdynpro java

Hi Experts,
We have developed a custom Web Dynpro java application for the SAP user self registration.
The user is being created successfully in UME db and we are also able to send an email to the user's registered Email ID.
Now, as per the requirement we also want to send an activation link to the user's email id so that once the user clicks there then only the user ID gets activated
Kindly let us know the steps involved so that we can achieve the functionality.
Thanks And regards,
Ghanshyam Agarwal.

i think it's so general, nothing to do with sap
1.lock the created user when creation
2. create a table to store the newly created user
3. create a servlet to receive the activation call
4. remove user from the table and unlock user

Self Register User Auto Approval Scenario in OIM 11g

Hello,
I was working on scenario of suppressing approval while Self-Registrating user, following steps were performed
1) Export SelfCreateUserDataSet.xml using weblogicExportMetadata.sh
2) Modified SelfCreateUserDataSet.xml [removed approver-only tag from organization attribuite]
3) Imported SelfCreateUserDataSet.xml using weblogicImportMetadata.sh
4) Restarted OIM & SOA server.
5) Created approval policies i.e. Request Level & Operational Level bote with Auto Approve condition.
6) Made a clone of Self-Register User template & added organization restriction & added Self Operator role.
7) When tested above scenario then xelsysadm had to approve for request & operational level,organization was already selected ,so shouldnt it get approved
automatically as i have mentioned Auto-Approve in approval policy ?
Tested using following link:
http://hostname:port/oim/faces/pages/USelf.jspx?E_TYPE=USELF&OP_TYPE=SELF_REGISTRATION&T_ID=Clone of Self-Register User
Thanks,
Rahul

Hello,
No i cannot see organization field as i have restricted organization to 'xyz' .
My Issue is resolved & problem was that i had changed password of OIM,weblogic also updated boot.properties file in oim & soa,but for some reason my SOA was not working although SOA server was running,so changed password of SOAADMIN from EM,restarted all 3 servers & now my scenario of Self Register Auto Approve works.
Now only thing i am curious is that when i self register user,it shows Request failed,but when checked in OIM user is created .
Thank-You
Rahul

Quick link for anonymous user

People,
Can somebody tell me how to use a quick link for anonymous user
I'm able to access this
http://<server>:<port>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.caritor.Student!2fcom.caritor.iviews!2fKMNavigationview
but http://<server>:<port>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/<quicklink> is not working.
Krishna Murthy

HI Michael,
I have one more qn for you.
Normally, when an iView set to anonymous users is opened(with the full pcd path), it opens up in a page directly without the role being displayed. (Like wat happens in the preview of an iView)
But when the quick link is used, it drills down the role and shows the iView. Is there any way to avoid the role being shown in this case?
Regards,
Krishna Murthy
