Custom Identity Service for BPEL

Hi
Has anyone created a Custom Identity Service for BPEL workflow authentication.
Please reply back.
Thanks
Mudassar

Is there a document somewhere that actually describes how to add the plugin to the Process Manager Identity Service? More specifically, requirements for packaging up the plugin module, which folder to place the module in, ALL of the configuration files that need to be updated, etc.?
So far documents such as the BPEL Developers Guide, BPEL Process Manager Administrator's Guide, and various online sources have been moderately helpful but it seems like there are a lot of missing details as to actually getting a custom Identity Service plugin module working.

Issue in setting custom identity service for soa 11.1.1.4

Hello,
I am facing issue in setting custom identity service for soa 11.1.1.4
It is not picking up the implemented UserManager (in custom IDM) implemented via ServiceProvider and IdentityStoreService.
This is configured in jps-config.xml
The same setup was working in soa 11.1.1.2
I believe there is a change done in JpsProvider in bpm-service.jar to authenticate via default login context from oracle.security.jps.internal.jaas.module.authentication.JpsUserAuthenticationLoginModule
If my uderstanding is correct,
Please guide me in implementing custom identity store and services for bpm services for soa 11.1.1.4
Tried various work arounds but no luck.
Thanks

Hi...
Can u tell me how did u set up custom identity service for 11.1.1.2 ?
Thanks

User Task: Custom Identity Service

Hi my friends
Have anyone tried to use a custom Identity Service with BPEL User Tasks (I meam other than LDAP or JAZN)? Problems? Issues? Limitations?
I know I have to implement a set of interfaces (BPMIdentityService interface and others)...
Thanks.

Pablo;
I just read your post and hearing that you have the basic methods working has me very interested - I implemented all the Interfaces (BPMIdentityService, BPMProvider, BPMUser, BPMRole, BPMGroup) and changed the is_config.xml file. My realm showed up, and the connection pool I'm using seemed to work just fine, but when I tried to setup a Human Workflow using the new realm, I get an error on my searchUsers method (just hardcoded).
I read that you need to add your classes to the application.xml file and that makes sense - but when I add them, no realms show up at all - one step backward - AND the method still doesn't work.
Could you spare a desperate developer some advice on how you got yours working - a brief description of how to register your classes, if there's more than adding them to application.xml would be wonderful!
Cheers -

Integration of custom identity services with JDeveloper BPEL designer

Hi,
I'd like to know if a custom user repository plugin will cause the 'Identity Lookup Dialog' (Step 6 of Human Workflow Wizard to generate a user task) to utilize the list of users and groups from a third party provider, when used as the Custom Identity Service provider.
I'd like to have the custom list of users and groups at 'design time' of the BPEL process itself, as well as process runtime. Is this possible?
This is with respect to both BPEL PM v10.2.0.2 and v 10.1.3.1.0.
Regards,
Vineet

ok, thank you for the reply.
But the installation of the Oracle BPEL Process Manger for Developers which includes the JDeveloper and the BPEL Designer doesn't come with 10.1.3.1.0?
I have to install the JDeveloper and the BPEL Process Manager seperate?
Thx

Replacement of Custom Identity Service in 11g

Hi,
I have several BPEL processes (10.1.2) with workflow and have been using Custom Identity Service (configuring is_config.xml) which talks to my database for user and groups etc. What is the mechanism for this in 11g now that is_config.xml is gone?
Any documentation will be great.
Thanks in advance.
Bipul.

I have been able to successfully implement a custom identity service (pulls users from an Oracle DB). I can select it from the SOA Worklist Application realm drop down and log in with my users.
I'm wondering, however, if there is a way to mimic this behavior from the BPEL Console and/or from a Java program that utilizes the Worklist APIs. From the BPEL Console, I can initiate my process with no problem but in the Audit trail, it complains about the task not being assigned to a user in the "jazn.com" realm. (That's because the user is defined in my Custom Realm.)
In my Java application, although I created a workflowContext by passing in the name of my custom realm, I get the same error mentioned above.
I ended up having to change the default realm in my local server's is_config.xml from jazn to my Custom Realm. Is there a way to specify what realm to use for each process without having to change the default each time?

Simple Custom Identity Service running on windows OK, but not on linux, y?

In <Oracle® BPEL Process Manager Developer's Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)
B14448-03>,
Part III, 16<Oracle BPEL Process Manager Workflow
Services, Identity Service, Creating a Custom Identity Service Plug-in>
My pc, OS:windows 2003+BPEL PM Server10.1.2
Server, OS:linux+ias+OC4J_BPEL, i can't make sure the version, may be:10.1.2
In the Developer's Guide say:
Identity Service has 3 provider:
1, JAZN Provider
2,Third-party LDAP Directories
3,CUSTOM Repository LDAP-Based Plug-ins
so i like the third one.
1, i compile the project in Oracle_Home\integration\orabpel\samples\hw\isplugin\db.
Then it create a jar file(IS-DBPlugin.jar) in Oracle_Home\integration\orabpel\system\services\lib
2,Modify the provider config file: is_config.xml
modify the config file: application.xml
restart the Oracle BPEL server
3,run the sql files it provider int the polsql.cmd
OK, now the Identity Service work on Oracle lite database, it's my needs.
add a user into the tables
use the url:http://localhost:9700/integration/worklistapp/Login
i can login the worklist service use my custom user and password.
when the Identity Service use the JAZN Provider(XML), it's default choice.i add a user into the xml files, i mast restart my server if i want use the user login.
use the database plugin,when i insert a user name into the tables,i can login the service use the username immediately.
So i think it's easy to move it to my server(linux os). but when i copy the jar file to the folder,modify the config files,run ths sql files in the oracle database.
but when i open the url :http://server_ip:port/integration/worklistapp/Login
it can not work with a simple error message:Worklist service Identity Service error.
in the log files i find some message like this :
SOAP-ENV:Server.Exception
BPEL-10551 can not load the Custom Identity Service Class:
"IdentityServiceCustomPlugin.CustomIdentityService"
it has wasted me one week time. and i can't find the reason now.
who can help me ?
thanks
cnboy

clemens,thanks.
i'm sorry that my English is poor.so i can't understand you mean completely.
you say it might be a linux jvm reason, can the metter be resolved?
and you say extract the jar file .which files i would extract,can you say particular?
thx!

Customizing Web Service for VC 7.10

Hi guys!
I need a big help for the topic "web services and VC".
I read the Scott's blog (The specified item was not found.) and it's great, web services working fine!
But if I would create custom web service (for example to insert google maps on vc model) what can I do?
I know, it's hard to explane all the web services technology and implementation (Java, C#, XML etc.) but if someone know some tutorial or web guides..
Thanks a lot guys!
Edited by: Andrea Davoli on Oct 21, 2008 3:39 PM

Hi Andrea,
I assume that you refer to VC 7.0... otherwise the question should be moved to the VC 7.1 forum...
The following blog contain also a video that show you the process in detail:
How to consume Web Services with Visual Composer 7.0
Also important SAP Notes regarding limitations, structure and pre-requisites are mentioned there.
In the SAP Help Portal you can find information about Web Services created within NetWeaver:

Custom Identity Service - E-Business Suite

Hi
Just wondering if anyone has looked into creating a custom BPEL Identity Service Plug-in for E-Business Suite?
I'm not sure if we need to do this yet for a client, but if anyone had tried it would be great to here about any issues you came across or whether you got it to work....
Any help greatly appreciated.
Chris

The easiest integration with DB repository is to use Oracle Virtual Directory ( OVD) database adapter.
You can write custom Plug-ins code using IdentityService APIs for 10.1.2 and 10.1.3 releases.
But we deprecated the approach and recommend to use OVD for customization for 11 release.
I have tested OVD with BPEL IdentityService LDAP provider. It works well even for 10.1. release.
That approach simplifies the mapping between LDAP inetOrgPerson and groupOfUnuiqueNames objectClasses and DB schema.
I can help you with OVD configuration.

F4 help not working in custom backend service for PD form

Dear All,
Iam working with the Create position HCM PD form and i have a requirement to add two fields, one for the company code and the other is for the cost center and then create the relationship betwee the position and the cost center when the form is submitted.
I have defined a generic service and created an enhancement implementation and linked this generic service to the imppementaion. I have written the logic for the F4 help for the fields in the method GET_HELP_VALUES, i have written the scripting for the drop down field in the form to trigger the F4 help in the form.
When the cost center is being passed to the screen, i would then read the value of the cost center in the form workflow and create the relationship between S and K in the workflow as i am unable to achiev this in the design time of the PD form.
But my current problem in that he values are not getting passed from the method to the field on the screen. I have worked on quite a few scenarios for F4 help and doing validations in the implementation in the PA form and i have seen this functionality working fine.
My problem here is that i am unable to understand why the F4 value help is not working in my form. The standard PD service SAP_PD is also being used in the form to have the dropdown values for the account assignment feature.
Could you please suggest me with some clues to fix my issue? i can share more details for further analysis.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Sridharan

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your inputs. please see my reply to your questions
First....are you sure you have "marked" that field as possible for F4 help?
Reply: Yes
Second...are you populating the help values strictly from that method...ie. not also using do_operations method to do it. If you refer to the documenation, it points out that trying to use both can cause issues.
Reply: i am using only the GET_HELP_VALUES method and nothing written in do_operations.
Third...when you debug your method, do you "see" the help values actually populating and as you say "not coming back to the screen"? I would check this first to make sure that there are actually values being found (ie. the logic within your service is correct).
Reply: i have put the external break-point in this method and when the form in opened for processing by the HR admininstrator,the form openes up and the control is not being sent to the debugger. I have written the scripting in the exit event of the events and scripts as suggested in the SAP help document. SO when i click on the dropdown field in the form, the debugger starts and executes the method and the code executes, then no values are populated on the screen.
Fourth...are you using any generic services for populating help values as well. HCM P&F has a nasty habit of "if one GS fails, they all fail" so often, your service might work fine but an error in another makes yours appear to fail as well....hard to debug and find those kind.
Reply: Yes i am using the generic service mainly for the purpose of F4 help. I do not see any issue with other gneric services as i have implemented a few generic services for PA forms and they are working fine.
Fifth...oops...forgot the obvious one...make sure it isn't a security issue...ie. make sure you have access to read the cost centers you want.
Reply: I dont get any auth error in SU53 while i test the process in R3
Lastly, you said:
"When the cost center is being passed to the screen, i would then read the value of the cost center in the form workflow and create the relationship between S and K in the workflow as i am unable to achiev this in the design time of the PD form."
You actually should be able to do this using an Advanced/Enhanced Generic Service (if this is in fact the step at which you want a true update to occur). Just a thought.
Reply: Could you please give some more information about this, how can i achieve it in advanced generic service.
Appreciate more thougts from you Chris!
Thanks,
Sridharan

I have my application jar on the server, and launch this JFrame application from the browser. ><zen question>
Which particular 'the browser'? What version of what browser running on what OS?
</zen question>
The reason I ask is that it is up to the browser to call an applet's stop()/destroy() methods and if they do not do so - there is almost nothing we as developers can do about it.
If you need such reliable shut down behaviour, it would be best to launch the applet or frame using Java Web Start.

Configuring OID as identity service for WorkList Application

Hi,
I am trying to configure the OID as the provider for IdentityService in worklist application,but getting following error,
PCException(): err is 10555
Any clues about this error? . Thanks,

If you have business logic in db(as set of plsql packages, triggers, ...) and this logic relies on db users and roles for authentication/authorization then you can also consider using database proxy user.
Of course, with this approach you still need to authenticate your users somehow(maybe by programmatically executing db connect in your login code, or by using Custom RDBMS Authenticator or by using Read Only RDBMS Authenticator and separate db table, ...), but after setting proxy user on adf connection, existing business logic in plsql packages, triggers, etc. should work as expected.
Some examples for oracle proxy users and adf:

LDAP Identity Service

Hi
Another question. Is an LDAP version of the Identity service on the way? Is it possible to integrate a custom Identity service into the BPEL Designer/PM?
Best wishes
John Prince

Hi John,
Yes the BPEL PM 10.1.2 does support LDAP for Human Workflow as well as Engine. The documentation for the same is under construction. Please Send me a mail on collaxa_support_us.oracle.com, and I will reply as soon as the documentation is available.
