Direct Access URLs in Release 2

What is the format for direct access URLs in release 2? I recall seeing somewhere that it had changed.
Thanks.

I found the documentation. It is in the help file /help/sblpath.htm.

How to use Direct Access URL in the FORM tag

I want to substitute the pageid url (/servlet/page?_pageid=161&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30) with the direct access urls (pls/portal30/url/page/my_page) to address the pageid conflict between development server and production server.
It works perfectly fine in the redirection code such as:
self.location.href="/pls/portal30/url/page/next_page". But I got "Page can not be found" error message when I use it in the <FORM> tag:
<FORM ACTION="/pls/portal30/url/page/next_page" METHOD="POST" NAME="my_form">
Does anyone out there know how to use the direct access url inside the <FORM> tag? I am trying not to write a bunch of code just to retrieve and insert the pageid at the run time.
Thanks in advance.

Use condition. If you are validating a record, just out the desired check in the condition field for that specific item.

Direct Access URL

I have the following situation:
I have a page named "notes" and I want to call this page from an item in a content area. So, I created an Item type "url" and completed the url field as: http://hostname/DAD/url/page/notes
It works fine.
My problem is that I have multiple Portal instances (with different DAD), so if I export/import the content area I will have to manually amend the url to set the correct DAD for that instance.
Any ideas how I can solve this situation?
Thanks!!

Maria,
A possible workaround is that, since the base href of a content area page is http://server.domain.com/pls/dad/ you can just supply the value "url/page/notes" in the URL item. This will make the URL item independent of the DAD name. Do not include "http://" in the entry.
Note however, that this will make this item invalid if used in a content area in a distributed portal configuration. However, if you simply have a single portal installation in which the content area does not need to be accessed from another portal, this should work out fine.

Weblogic url direct access restriction

Hi,
I have an OHS configured as a proxy for weblogic server. Here my main objective is that all the requests should pass via webserver only.
I have a requirement like whenever weblogic app url , suppose http://weblogic:7001/app1 is accessed directly, it should redirect to http://webserver:port:7777/app1 and again the request should be forwaded to http://weblogic:port:7001/app1.
In brief blocking direct access to weblogic and making the user access the app1 via webserver. How can I achieve this?
Regards
DPK

Hi,
But I need to achieve that using Weblogic only. Client wants to access weblogic directly and one more thing is only one particular application with root context as /app1 must be accessed via webserver and rest all the applications directly through application server. That is the reason why we are not blocking the port for direct access at network end.

OWA - Url to directly access Shared Calender ?

Hi Guy's,
we are nearly finished with our migration from EX2007 to 2013.
As is seems that the big problems are solved the small ones arise ;)
maybe someone can help me out:
With the OWA 2007 it was possible to directly access a shared calender with the url:
https://webmail.contoso.com/owa/[email protected]/?cmd=contents&module=calendar
In 2013 this url doesn't work anymore. Is there a new Url or is this not possible within 2013?
We are using TMG to publish the OWA Site.
thanks in advanced
regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
I have tested to access the shared calendar by using OWA URL in my Exchange 2013 CU1 environment. When UserA share the calendar to UserB with Reviewer permission, UserB cannot open this calendar directly by using OWA URL. But when I assign UserC full access
permission to UserA’s mailbox, UserC can access UserA’s calendar successful by using OWA URL.
Therefore, if you want to open other’s calendar with folder permission instead of mailbox permission in OWA 2013, we can try the following steps:
1. Login UserB’s mailbox in OWA 2013.
2. Click Calendar in the
upper-right
corner to switch to Calendar pane.
3. Right-click MY CALENDARS > Open Calendar.
4. Type shared calendar in the box under From Directory.

Restricting user to directly pasting URL into browser and accessing the page

Hi,
I have two sharepoint 2013 pages ..one is Before login and one is after login
I want to user to stop direct access of page after login after pasting the URL into browser..
Is there any way without using Visual studio ..or using HTML or java script

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to redirect user to a custom page after login.
I don’t think it will be easy to achieve these scenario.
To achieve this scenario, we should first create our own custom login page, and I don’t think there is an easy way to create a custom page without Visual Studio.
In the page, create a sign-in button to redirect users to a custom page after they have completed the form, such as simply add ?SOURCE=Your Custom Page.
There are two articles about customizing custom login page, you can refer to them.

ConfigMgr Clients connection over direct access.

My test client machine is running Windows 8.1 and connecting to network through Direct Access. I am running SCCM 2012 R2 on Windows Server 2012.
Test Machine: NYWIN8
SCCM Server: SCCM01
Domain: demo.local
I would like to understand how configmgr handles clients connecting through direct access. What all functionality is available for such clients?
On my client machine is see following errors:

Server 2012 Direct Access Single NIC cant get it to work

Hi,
I am having some real issues with setting up Direct Access with Server 2012 and a Windows 8 client, it simply won’t work at all.
First of all I should describe my setup:
I have an internet connection with a static IPv4 address on the external network adapter of the router
The internal network address (the address of the router which has the internet connection) is 192.168.1.1
Server1 (windows 2008 R2 Standard) has a static IPv4 address 192.168.1.2 and has some ports forwarded from the router (443, 25, 80) this server is a domain controller, email server, and has the DNS, DHCP and
certificate services
Server 2 (Windows 2008 R2 standard) has static IPv4 address 192.168.1.3 it has no ports forwarded from the router as it has no services accessed externally, it is used as a file server and print server, backup
domain controller and backup DNS.
Server 3 (Windows 2012) has static IPv4 address 192.168.1.4 and has the Remote Access server role installed along with all the other default features and roles it requires in the setup process.
These servers have all got an IPv6 address which I assume the server has configured automatically, there has been no deliberate configurations made to disable IPv6
I have no UAG or proxy server or anything else to route packets to internal servers. Just this router which has the option for port forwarding (I assume that’s NAT isn’t it?) sorry don’t know much about that
area.
I go through the setup wizard in remote access to configure direct access, in the external URL I have entered da.mydomain.com and created a host A record in my external domain name providers DNS which points
the da record to my external IP address. The wizard creates all the GPO’s, scoped correctly, and applied to a Windows 8 client. The operational status shows its all working and I got green ticks. However, when I connect the client to the internal network it
doesn’t seem to have correctly got the DA settings. I run the following in powershell
Get-DnsClientNrptPolicy
Nothing displays – at all
Get-NCSIPolicyConfiguration

I go into services.msc and find that the network connectivity assistant is not started, it wont start either something must trigger it but I have no idea how to get it triggered to start… this might be my only
source of problem perhaps but on a more network level question:
If I have such ports as 80, and 443 (which I assume DA uses in some form with a public IPv4 internet address) directed at server 1, how does the DA connection get to server 3 which has the DA role installed?
I could create another record on the server which also opens port 443 to server as well as for server 1, but then how would the router know which server to pass the DA connection to if the same port is open for two different servers?
Either way, this first issue is that the client doesn’t seem to have the ability to connect internally correctly yet, so maybe this connectivity service is a good place to start? My understanding is that the
networks icon in the system tray should show that there is a corporate connection, but it doesn’t. also, the client seems to have the NLS certificate in the computer certificate store, so the cert side of things is working and the GPO side is working.
Many thanks
Steve

ahh i see, so just to enlighten me even further...
If a company has two web servers that would mean they would need two different public facing IP addresses so they can route to each internal web server. If, like the big companies have, they
may have many web servers (possibly more than 100) I’m assuming that simply buying more public IP addresses would have a limit, especially since the IPv4 address space is pretty much exhausted. So is this where proxy systems come into play like ISA and Forefront,
is this what they do?
I assume if such a product was implemented you could go down to just one or two public IP addresses, point all traffic to the ISA server and that in turn would do all the routing of packets
to each server behind the NAT/router (probably based on some sort of domain name or sub domain namespace as it’s parameter for forwarding?)
Secondly, what I have done is installed windows server 2012 and used that as a direct access client (I read on another forum that the windows 8 RP doesn’t have the enterprise bits to make this
work). I have got much further with the 2012 server acting as a client (installed on laptop, installed desktop experience and wireless LAN),
but when I run the following command on my DA client I get the following status
Get-DAConnectionStatus
Status:
connectedlocally
Substatus:
none
This appears to work fine, when im connected to the local network. But then I disconnect and run the command again and I get the following:
Status:
Error
Substatus:
NameResolutionFailure
On my router what I did is temporarily disable port 443 going to my original server and instead opened it up pointing to my other server, so 443 traffic should be going to my DA server now, but I don’t understand why its giving the name resolution failure
status. I have a host A record called “da” with my domain hoster, and entered the full domain namespace in the DA wizard as da.mydomain.com (the Host A record has been up there for more than a week so it’s propagated through the net)
So, a bit further but stuck again.

Configuration of Direct Access 2012

Good morning.
I have tried to set up Direct Access from what I see is pretty much a 30-40 minute job, but has turned out to be something of a pain. Having followed the video on youtube for Windows Server 2012 with Basic PKI configuration and Windows 7 clients. I
have set up a working DA server with no issues and all green ticks.
Here's a run down.
I have a DC (2012) with the CA already installed.
I have a virtual DA (2012) set up with the advanced settings.
I have a a TMG 2010 server as the firewall with a Non-Web Publishing rule designed to forward HTTPS requests to the DA on the internal network.
The set up went as planned and I followed the instruction to set up the PKI and all computers have picked up a computer Certificate for the CA so that the internal root is validated.
The Certificates that I chose for the DA server were as follows;
DirectAccess-NLS.mydomain.local
remote.my-external-domain-name.co.uk
both published from my internal CA so that the root of the certificates were valid.
I have a Third party wildcard cert ( *.my-external-domain-name.co.uk ) for TMG to allow other connection such as VPN and web access.
DA Config:
Step 1: Remote Clients
I set up the DA server as per the video, set the DirectAccessClient group, and in the
Network Connectivity Assistant The resource was filled in with the
http://diectaccess-WebProbeHost URL.
Step 2: Remote Access Server
The Network Topology was set to Behind an edge device (with single network adapter), and then is says to type in the 'PUBLIC NAME' used by clients to connect to the Remove Access Server. Here I typed in the external DNS
name remote.my-external-domain-name.co.uk.
Network Adapters had the one ethernet and an IPv6 address. The
Select Certificate sued to authenticate IP-HTTPS connections has the CN=remote.my-external-domain-name.co.uk.
Authentication is set to AD and I used the root certificate of the CA for
use computer certificates. I also Enabled windows 7 client computers to connect via DirectAccess.
Step 3: Infrastructure Servers
Network Location Sevrer had the NLS is deployed on this server with the
DirectAccess-NLS cert.
DNS had the internal domain and the DirectAccess-NLS. the Internal domain was pointing to the IPv4 address of the DA. I read that I need to put the external name suffix of remote.my-external-domain-name.co.uk entry in and pointed that
to the internal DA IPv4 address also.
DNS Suffix List was set automatically and I also added my external domain name just in case.
Managerment was straight forward and I pointed to our System Centre 2012 R2 server.
Upon clicking finish and applying the GPO policies everything went according to plan. All green ticks. I did a GPupdate on the client I was testing and the GPO policies came through.
Now the issue I have is that on the internal network I get the Last Error 0x80190190 unable to connect to server. Now I am sure that this should say active as it is inside the network. I get the same error out side. When I check the DA server for
netsh int https sh int it returns the value that client authentication = NONE. I set it up to use computer certificates and even is I uncheck that it does not change.
It there a straight forward thing I missed or is it to do with publishing in TMG. Internally the direct access client will not connect as it will find the NLS in the internal DNS as I have the host record for both the server FQDN and the DirectAccess-NLS
potining to the IPv4 address. I also have the external remote.my-external-domain-name.co.uk entry in the internal DNS to point to the internal IPv4.
I have opened the ports for 443, 62000 on the DA for the IIS inbound and outbound.
I have a windows 8 client but need to test it as Windows 8 is supposed to work just like that.
What am I doing wrong here?? Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thank you for this Jordan.
I have now got it working. The next step is to make sure my applications are all using Names rather than IP addresses.
I have basically setup the system as per my original thread that follows, NOT in BOLD.
I have tried to set up Direct Access from what I see is pretty much a 30-40 minute job, but has turned out to be something of a pain. Having followed the video on youtube for Windows Server 2012 with Basic PKI configuration and Windows 7 clients. I have
set up a working DA server with no issues and all green ticks.
Here's a run down.
I have a DC (2012) with the CA already installed.
I have a virtual DA (2012) set up with the advanced settings.
I have a a TMG 2010 server as the firewall with a Non-Web Publishing rule designed to forward HTTPS requests to the DA on the internal network.
The set up went as planned and I followed the instruction to set up the PKI and all computers have picked up a computer Certificate for the CA so that the internal root is validated.
The Certificates that I chose for the DA server were as follows;
DirectAccess-NLS.mydomain.local
remote.my-external-domain-name.co.uk
both published from my internal CA so that the root of the certificates were valid.
I have a Third party wildcard cert ( *.my-external-domain-name.co.uk ) for TMG to allow other connection such as VPN and web access.
DA Config:
Step
1: Remote Clients
I set up the DA server as per the video, set the DirectAccessClient group, and in the Network Connectivity Assistant The resource was
filled in with the http://diectaccess-WebProbeHost URL.
Step
2: Remote Access Server
The Network Topology was set to Behind
an edge device (with single network adapter), and then is says to type in the 'PUBLIC NAME' used by clients to connect to the Remove Access Server. Here I typed in the external DNS name remote.my-external-domain-name.co.uk.
Network Adapters had the one ethernet and an IPv6 address. The Select
Certificate sued to authenticate IP-HTTPS connections has the CN=remote.my-external-domain-name.co.uk.
Authentication is set to AD and I used the root certificate of the CA for use
computer certificates. I also Enabled windows 7 client computers to connect via DirectAccess.
Step
3: Infrastructure Servers
Network Location Sevrer had the NLS
is deployed on this server with the DirectAccess-NLS cert.
DNS had the internal domain and the DirectAccess-NLS. the Internal domain was pointing to the IPv4 address of the DA. I read that I need
to put the external name suffix of remote.my-external-domain-name.co.uk entry in and pointed that to the internal DA IPv4 address also.
DNS Suffix List was set automatically and I also added my external domain name just in case.
Managerment was straight forward and I pointed to our System Centre 2012 R2 server.
Upon clicking finish and applying the GPO policies everything went according to plan. All green ticks. I did a GPupdate on the client I was testing and the GPO policies came through.
I have set up TMG as per the isa.org forum
http://www.isaserver.org/articles-tutorials/general/implementing-windows-server-2012-directaccess-behind-forefront-tmg-part2.html .
@ Jordan - I ensured that I had a separate external IP address for the requests from the clients to TMG as I publish websites internally.
I used a third party wildcard cert for the IP-HTTPS connect part in DA Config Step 2.
All the rest of the DA set up was pretty much out of the box as stated above.

Oracle Apps: direct access to OAF page is not working

Hi,
i have 3 OAF pages in E-Bussiness suite (ORACLE APPS).
i am trying to access directly as URL to one of the OAF page.
In one instance it is opening correctly but in other instance it throws an error below:
" You are trying to access a page that is no longer active.
- You may have attempted to access to this page directly by bookmarking the page or copying the URL. This page does not support bookmarking.
- The referring page may have come from a previous session. Please select Home to proceed. "
i think i need to set some profile option. i don't know that.
And one more thing, the instance in which the direct URL is working opens directly without asking front end username and password and the opened page doesn't contain Logout option.
Thanks.

Hi;
Similar error mention at:
R12: Error "You are trying to access a page that is no longer active" When Attempting to Access Through Internet Explorer [ID 968839.1]
Hope it helps

Can midlet directly access a database?

I'm creating a midlet that connects to a database. Do i need to go through a server and then access the database or can i directly access the database through the midlet?
Does anyone have a sample code that have a midlet interacts directly with a database? Or is it impposible to do so without going through a web server.
Blaise,

Your message arrived at the rigth address :)
I am experienced in J2ME programming and made several projects with it including my graduation thesis . (you can check http://2m.turkmenweb.com for my J2ME projects).
You can directly acces from MIDlet DB, but it is not so reccomended, since mobile devices have certain limitations. When we had to use DB in our J2ME projects(with MIDP1.0 and MIDP2.0) we achieved it by collaboration of JSP with our MIDlet.. That is MIDlet was only sending a URL to Tomcat Server (JSP server) i.e. http://someurl.com/show?task=topusers, and this URL was parsed by a Servlet which was making all needed conenctions to DB.
I also know that there are K editions (very small) of DBMS built especially for mobile devices. You can use them also .. I guess Oracle has such a thing..
Good luck!

Security error accessing url with crossdomain.xml in InDesign FlexUI

I'm evaluating Flex as a UI component in an InDesign script. Part of what it needs to do involves retrieving some data from a web server to be displayed in a datagrid. I've written a server running on localhost that will provide this data. Everything works fine when I run the component from Flash Builder or from the HTML wrapper page that is generated during the release build, but once I copy the .swf to the InDesign scripts folder and load it as part of a ScriptUI component, I get a fault response ("security error accessing url") when connecting to the server. I'm running this bit of code in from my Flex client:
var h:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
h.url = "http://localhost:8080/elements";
h.method = "GET";
h.addEventListener("result", getElementsResult);
h.addEventListener("fault", getElementsFault);
h.send();
From what I've read, I may need a crossdomain.xml file at the root of my host, so I've added that to the server and can see that it is being accessed whenever the flex component attempts to connect to the service.
My crossdomain.xml file is:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM 'http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd'>
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
which seems to be correct, from what I understand. I've also tried quite a few other variations (setting explicit site-control policies, etc.). I'm quite new to Flex/Flash and I'm basically stuck at this point. Where might I be going wrong?

I think sleeping on this one helped... I found that if I serve the .swf from my web server then everything works out fine. Loading it from the local filesystem seems to have been the problem.

Screens missing elements when navigated to directly via URL

Hi all,
I am having some problems in the portal. I am going to describe one of them in detail as they are likely all caused by the same issue. I hope someone can help!
If I navigate to the Address screen through the portal (meaning I start at the Welcome page, click Employee Self-Service, click Personal Information, and then Click on Address), the Address screen comes up as I expect it to. There are three buttons at the bottom, "Previous Step", "New Emergency Address", and "Exit".
If I navigate to the Address screen by entering the URL directly, The "Exit" button does not appear.
I have tried making the URL in two formats:
1) Short URL: http://<server>:<port>irj/portal?NavigationTarget=navurl://<navurl>
2) Full URL: https://<server>:<port>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.roles/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_personal_information/persinfo_us/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.addr
In each of these formats I tried using the short URL (1) or the PCD (2) for the iView, Page and Portal Role for the Address screen. So that's 6 URLs I tried:
1) Short URL - pointing to iView
2) Short URL - pointing to Page
3) Short URL - pointing to Role
4) Full URL - pointing to iView
5) Full URL - pointing to Page
6) Full URL - pointing to Role
In all these cases, the exit button does not show up. It only shows up when I navigate to it from the links on the portal screen. Any Ideas?

Hi,
What you could do to overcome this all it so set a quicklink on the iview you try to call and then use this quicklink to directly access the iview.
How it works is described in: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/97/b0ef8b24a64ae884f0ab246e54cae5/frameset.htm

Direct Access and WIndows Phone 8.1?

Hi all –
I am reaching out to the community here because I haven’t been able to find anything concrete.
The scenario is that we wish to have links which are sent through an on-prem SharePoint farm resolve on a user’s Windows Phone whilst roaming.
The root of the issue is that the client does not have split DNS in place.
Therefore when they send a link from the SharePoint site it’s URL is mysite.acme.int, for example, which is not resolvable from outside of the corporate network;
Acme.com is however.
We have Direct Access (2012 R2) in place and use Windows Phone 8.1.
What I am trying to determine is whether or not we can leverage a DA connection with the Windows Phones in order to attain URL resolution.
Barring that does anyone have any bright ideas on how to conquer the problem?
Kind regards and thanks in advance!
Wren

Hi Wren,
Agree with Rmknight. Windows Phone doesn't support DirectAccess at present.
For detailed information, please refer to the link below:
