Creating a custom realm for tomcat. Help and suggestions please.

Has anybody ever created a custom realm to authenticate users in tomcat.
I would like to use form based login with my own realm.
The form requires 3 fields to log in (hence the custom realm) . I would also like to be able to use the built-in functions like isuserinrole.
If anybody has experience with this or knows of a place where to get valuable information please let me know.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
Tomcatx.x.x uses the realm sandbox security tecnique
1)In you'r abcd/web-inf/WEB.xml file
write the realm config scripts for the required
jsp/servlet pages[similar will be found in
Tomcat/webapps/examples/web-inf/web.xml]
2)In Tomcatx.x.x/conf/tomcat_users.xml
declare the realm id/pass/roles
3)If still not able to do then study the web.xml (pdf)
avaliable at websiter http://www.moreservlets.com

Custom Realm for SJSAS 9.x using JAAS documentation too vague

Hello there,
I am trying to implement a custom realm for a particular web application on my SJSAS 9.x server. So far I have been unsuccessful and receive the following message in my server.log:
[#|2006-10-20T13:51:56.390-0300|INFO|sun-appserver-pe9.0|javax.enterprise.system.core.security|_ThreadID=11;_ThreadName=httpWorkerThread-8080-1;javious;|SEC5046: Audit: Authentication refused for [javious].|#]
The documentation I have been using for reference is at:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3659/6n5s6m58k?a=view#beabs
However, I have a number of questions.
First of all, this section referenced by the URL above is identified as "Creating a custom realm". Then the second sentence of this section states "Note that client-side JAAS login modules are not suitable for use with the Application Server". Does this not mean that JAAS login modules are not suitable for use with SJSAS web applications since they are components of the Application Server? Is there a reason for providing information on creating a custom realm for this application server in which it is not suitable for? Why isn't it suitable for the application server? What if I want to implement my own realm for my web application so that I can maintain my application users separately in another application?
Secondly, this section explains that I can create a custom realm simply by creating a custom JAAS login module and a custom realm class. It then goes on to explain how to construct these classes and what to include in them. Notably, the documentation states the following:
The authenticateUser() method must end with the following sequence:
String[] grpList;
// populate grpList with the set of groups to which
// _username belongs in this realm, if any
return commitUserAuthentication(_username, _password,
_currentRealm, grpList);Having looked at the API for authenticateUser I discovered that it is a void method, however the documentation states to return a value from "commitUserAuthentication(..). Also, my commitUserAuthentication method only excepts a single argument of type String[] representing a list of group names, therefore I am unable to supply the additional arguments as documented. This is confusing.
Once finished reading the documentation, I am left hanging with hardly a clue as to what to do with these two new classes. Now having implemented a custom login module on Tomcat 5.x in earlier days, I did happen to have some experience to know to edit the security.properties, policy, and login.conf files. So anyhow from here I end up stumbling blindly through configuration of my domain1/login.conf and domain1/server.policy files. I also attempted to add my new realm within the admin console under security/realms and dropped my new jar file (with two classes) into the app server lib directory.
All in all, this completely fails to work. I have even placed System.out.println statements in all of my implemented methods and none of this actually shows up in my server.log file. Why is this section so vague? Why isn't there a step-by-step example from start to finish of how to implement a simple custom realm in SJSAS9?
Does anybody have any helpful suggestions?

Well, once again, I'm going to have to provide my own answer.

Apple the best
H.M

The iPad 1 can't run the newer operating systems. It'd be like trying to play a bluray disc in your 6 year old dvd player....it simply lacks the hardware to make the software run.
No suggestion about the camera, but given that Apple's attitude seems to be to focus more on the more mobile devices for photography (the iPhone and Touch cameras got features, the iPad and mini didn't), that is highly unlikely. You can tell Apple what you want, but you'd probably be money ahead to get a digital camera.
as to the photos, anything put on via iTunes has to come off via iTunes.Your main alternative would be to look for photo apps that offer file exchange that may give you more functionality.

How to create a custom measure for each level of a dimension

Hi all!
Can Anyone please explain me with an example, how to create a custom measure for each level for a dimension? I dont mine if you use
one or more measures.
thanks in advance
hope someone helps me.

For example:I create a dimension for product_dim witch has 4 levels:total, class, family and item:
d_aben18
n1_aben18
n2_aben18
n3_aben18
n4_aben18
herarchy:h_aben18
cube:cubo_aben18
measure:med_aben18
I create this code to fetch the data to the dimension:
TRAP ON CLEANUP
SQL DECLARE c1 CURSOR FOR SELECT-
total_product_id,1,'N1_ABEN18',total_product_dsc,-
class_id,1,'N2_ABEN18',total_product_id,class_dsc,-
family_id,1,'N3_ABEN18', class_id, family_dsc,-
item_id,1,'N4_ABEN18',family_id,item_dsc-
FROM PRODUCT_DIM
"OPEN THE CURSOR
SQL OPEN c1
"FETCH THE DATA
SQL FETCH c1 LOOP INTO-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N1_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N2_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_parentrel,-
:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N3_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_parentrel,-
:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
:APPEND D_ABEN18, :D_ABEN18_H_aben18_HIERDEF,:D_ABEN18_N4_aben18_LEVELDEF,:D_ABEN18_parentrel,-
:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
"SAVE THE CHANGES
UPDATE
COMMIT
CLEANUP:
SQL CLOSE c1
SHOW 'KK2'
Then I create a cube with use compression off, and in rules sum for example.
After, I create a measure and I select Override the aggregation specification for the cube, in rules I put nonadditive and I would like to create aprogram to assign distinct values to each level of the dimension. For example, I put 1, 2 3, and 4 values, but at the end I would like to put count(distinct(values)).
for that I create another program:
VRB D_RETURN DECIMAL
if D_ABEN18_N1_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N1_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 1
if D_ABEN18_N2_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N2_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 2
if D_ABEN18_N3_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N3_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 3
if D_ABEN18_N4_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N4_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 4
else d_return=26
return d_return
"SHOW D_RETURN
cubo_aben18_med_aben18_stored=d_return
but it doesnt work.I dont know how to put to assign or to see what I want.
I report the measure, or I report the program, but then how can I see the values of the measure?
thanks in advance

Possible to create a custom renderer for rendering standard component ?

This is in context for creating dynamic Data tables. Is it possible to create a custom Renderer for rendering component (standard) without creating a custom component?
namanc

Let's assume you want to create a custom renderer which will be used to render the error-messages (the h:messages tag). The component-family in this case is: javax.faces.Messages, the renderer-type javax.faces.Messages.
Therefor in your application's faces-config.xml add this renderer-statement (inside a render-kit, obviuosly):
<faces-config>

<render-kit>
    <renderer>
      <component-family>javax.faces.Messages</component-family>
      <renderer-type>javax.faces.Messages</renderer-type>
      <renderer-class>my.very.special.MessagesRenderer</renderer-class>
    </renderer>
</render-kit>

</faces-config>The code for MessagesRenderer is very dependent on your needs, therefor I will not post something here. Basically you need to extend javax.faces.render.Renderer. For help in that camp, surf to the online tutorials or get yourself a book (I learned a lot from Kito Mann's "JSF in Action"). Additionally grab the source for Sun's RI AND Myfaces and dig into that java-code. There is a huge learning potential looking at that source-material.

Create 1 customer master for some small customer

Hi All,
Our company have some small customer, sometime they buy our goods (may be they buy only one time). So we want create 1 customer master for them. Can we do it?

Dear ngocvt,
Transaction Code: V-07 - Create a one-time customer. (Account Group - CPDA)
One time customer / vendor accounts in SAP means they are account groups for customer/vendor and where in only the general data of the customer / vendor are stored instead of maintaining the bank data and other company code data that are relevant for other account groups which are useful for long run purposes.
As you know everything that is entered in SAP is saved in some TABLE. Now the customer & vendor master is such a table which holds vast amount of data.
The business secenario where the vendor or customer which are being in system only for 1 transaction, it is not advisable to have all the data maintained in main master.
Therefore SAP has provided with the feature of One time vendor / customer wherein in the document entry stage only you have to enter the name, address and other details of the vendor/customer.
The data, as far as I know' remains at doc level and does'nt go to the master tables.
If you want to change the standard functionality then go to
Transaction OBD2, u will find CPDA, that is standard one one time customer account group.
Copy it and make necessary changes.
Hope this Helps.
Thanks

Creating a custom scale for current

Hi guys,
I need some help with creating a custom scale. I am reading motor current (analog I/P) and would like to display that on a graph and write it to a file. I need to use a linear scaling for custom scale. The slope is 2 and the intercept is 0. I've attache the code to make it clear what I am trying to acomplish. The way I've set it up right now is no scaling. There are 2 tasks in the code. I would like to create a custom scaling for the first task as seen in the attached code. I have done custom scaling using DAQ Assistant Express VI. But I dont see such options when I try to do the same with the DAQmx task. Please let me know how this can be done. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

You both had me going nuts trying to figure how to get to that property. Basically just right click the DAQmx property node and "Select filter..." . This brings up the "Configure Filter Settings" where I chose 'show all attributes'. I could then get to the AI Custom Scale Name property.
Interestingly when you use the Property Browser and select the magnifying glass you can get to that property...but you just can't select it if you have the filter set incorrectly. Lesson Learned.
I also found this community example and that one.

Creating a custom serializer for SOAP

Hi guys, i'm wondering if someone could help me. I'm trying to create a custom serializer for a class with SOAP and I'm geeting the following SOAPException:
Fault Code = SOAP-ENV:Server.Exception:
Fault String = org/apache/soap/util/xml/Serializer
I'm able to deploy the service with no problems.
I'm using a very simple example in which I'm only trying to get a Person class from the service. here is the deployment descriptor:
<isd:service xmlns:isd="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/deployment" id="urn:PersonService">
<isd:provider type="java"
                scope="Application"

Is the problem in your 'marshall' method? You seem to be using Integer.class instead of String.class for the 'lastName' parameter...

F-53 and F-28, Customized columns for cash discount and %

Hi Expert,
With reference to the subject of: Customized columns for cash discount and % ...
I faced the problem of not able to set / defined hidden column for cash discount and % by creating a new variant.
Steps:
Create a variant
Click <administrator> button ... mark the columns hidden, and click <activate> button
Then click <Save> button
Problem: Every time I using the F-53/F-28, the layout is not working, and when goto check the variant settings, the cash discount and % columns remained unchecked.
SAP version: 4.6
Kindly advise.
Thanks and regards,
sbmel

Hi JP,
It is not working using field status group, as I am using F-53 and F-28 and not FB50/60/70.
The purpose I want to create variant for screen after clicking <process open item> is to control column display (hide cash discount and %). if the variant is working, I can create a customized Tcode for the F-53 and F-28.
Now problem is that variant seem not working.
Thanks and regards,

How to create a "Custom Color" for highlighting? (Acrobat XI)

March 10, 2014
How to create a "Custom Color" for highlighting? (Acrobat XI)
The numbers in the RGB and other fields change as various numbers are changed.
I wanted to create a pale orange:
Hue               13      Red      255
Saturation   240      Green 177
Luminosity    86       Blue     140
I'd selected one of the orange squares in the color grid, to display the general orange area of the slider.
I moved the slider to select a pale orange, which generated the above numbers.   Since this wasn't directly available to save to a Custom Color, I tried to edit the numbers. Unfortunately, the other numbers changed, making it impossible to actually create a color.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Note: I used Techsmith's Snagit to show screen shots in a Word document.
When I attempted to browse and upload the file, the error message said "[The content type of this image is not allowed.]"
OK...what images *are* allowed?

Hi Don,
I saw Gilad answered your question in another forum post.
Do you have everything you need at this point?
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Kind regards, Stacy
