Discussion and Announcement Services in webcenter Spaces + Active Directory

I had successfully customized Discussion and announcement Services in webcenter spaces using the default authenticator user WEBLOGIC. And it was working fine.
I was able to post and configure announcement and also able to create forums and threads in webcenter spaces.
Now i have Successfully integrated my ACTIVE DIRECTORY to WLS. And now i want to configure discussion and announcement using active directory users. i am facing problem in it. I am able to login to Webcenter spaces as well as 8890/owc_discussions and also in 8890/owc_discussions/admin (jive forum admin) using AD users. i have also given admin roles to ACTIVE directory users in 8890/owc_discussions/admin under Global Settings -> Admins & Moderators .
When I tried to configure Discussion and announcement Services in webcenter spaces it gives me errors like.....
(1) The service did not get provisioned.
(2) failure to authenticate the user *******, due to: Unable to connect to discussion server.*
Do i need to make changes in keystore.properties & jive_crypto.jar ? Do i need to make a new connection in EM inside WebCenter > Service Configuration.
Please help.
Thanks

Have you set up ws-security between your webcenter and discussion server? If not you need to set it up to get rid of the authentication error.
Are you setting up a single-sign on between all webcenter components using OAM? If so there is an additional step to add/update owc_discussions.sso.mode property under discussion admin.

  • Managing the mail service for WebCenter Spaces

    I need to setup the mail service in WebCenter Spaces and could use some assistance. I have a standalone Linux DEV box that has WebCenter 11.1.1.2 installed. I have Documents, Discussions, wikis+blogs all working in this instance.
    Now, I need to configure the mail service for this DEV instance to an SMTP mail server but I don't have any experience with this part. Has anyone setup the mail service using the Linux sendmail or Exchange 2003? How did you setup the external application for the mail server if you want to use Sendmail? Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Everybody
    I am also having similar problems. I could configure everything except for the mail service.
    I have the SMTP port but do not have IMAP details as our IT team does not maintain the IMAP.
    Please let me know how can I configure mail service with the SMTP details only.
    Your timely help would be much appreciated as we are in between a project development.

    Please Help !!!

    Are you trying to expose an existing system inside of WCS?
    If this is the case, you should investigate "External Applications":
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/webcenter.1111/e10149/config_svcs_prod_extapp.htm#WCSUG6698
    This is an out of the box way of embedding external systems, with seperate login pages etc. I think this will achieve what you are trying to do yourself. It even allows for parameterised URLs

  • Lion Server 10.7.4 VPN service not using my Active Directory domain for authentication

    I have Lion Server 10.7.4 setup on a Mac Mini and I have enabled the VPN service for both L2TP and PPTP. The Mac Mini is joined to my Windows Domain at a functional level of Server 2008 R2. I have set the authentication paths to point to my domain in Directory Utility.
    What I would like to have happen is for my laptop to be able to VPN into my office network remotely using domain credentials and not local account credentials on the Mac Mini itself. This is a process I have done numerous times on Windows boxes, but for some reason the only way I can get the VPN to work on this instance of Lion Server 10.7.4 is by authenticating using local accounts only.
    Does Lion Server 10.7.4 only authenticate VPN users based on it's local account schema? Or can it truly authenticate against an active directory domain?
    Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

    Hi g-pirtle,
    Yes, I had already done that a few days ago. I was able to add the desired AD group to the allowed users/groups for the VPN service. Thats exactly what is so weird about this...it allows me to search for and add an AD user or group to the list of allowed users/groups, but then when I actually try to use a domain account to authenticate to the VPN is just gives me the "cannot authenticate" error. Very strange.
    I wondered if for some reason Apple is only allowing local accounts to be authenticated against. Sounds crazy, but I cannot for the life of me get this to work. I also wondered if Kerberizing the server would help, but when I go to join a Kerberos realm in Open Directory inside of Server Admin, it just has no realm listed in the drop down menu.
    Other than that, all other aspects of the Mac Mini being joined to the AD domain seems to be good. I'm really stumped here...
    Thanks again,

  • Date and Time Sync at boot for Active Directory/Open Directory Authenticati

    All the macs in my school district are set to automatically sync their time with a network time server. They do not do this unless the system preference is opened. This poses a problem as all our users must authenticate against an Active Directory and an Open Directory server. If the time is out of sync they can not login, and therefore can not fix the time. I must then login in with a local admin account set the time and then the network account can login. I have tried using direct IP addresses for the NTP server. That doesn't work either. I have adjusted the tolerance of the AD server to accept a large discrepancy in time (did not work). Set the users to be mobile accounst (local home folders), did not work. The only fix will be to ensure that the time does sync at boot, before login. Is there a way to force the computer to sync at boot to a given NTP server, prior to the login window appearing?

    I have come up with my own solution for this issue. It is a two part solution. We found that the computers are experiencing time drift and that after they get out of sync by 5 minutes they can no longer login. One would think that the setting in the Date and Time system preference to automatically synchronize the time would take care of this. That however is not the case that check mark does not affect the ntp service at all. It merely eliminates the need to click a button when entering the system preference. How did we discover this? well that is part of the solution. We used webmin (http://www.webmin.com) to look at the ntp configuration. No matter what changes we made with the Date & Time preferences nothing changed in the system ntp settings. So on to the solution: Install webmin, and configure the ntp protocol manually to sync at your desired interval (I did hourly). This stops time drift. Next create a startup item and associated plist to force time sync at boot (be sure to loop it as different machines initialize their network cards slower). I have made ours available for download (http://www.manheimcentral.org/~getzt/netTime.zip). I hope this helps others. We have found that this works fairly well.

  • Creating computer Names with small letters and they appear as capitals in Active Directory Domain

    Hello,
    When I try to create computer objects in Active Directory - namely when i change computer name with small letters, in active directory users and computers they appear as capital letters and in DNS console as well.
    I know that it's not a problematic issue and technically all goes fine but, i want to know the reason.
    Is it possible to change computer name with small letters while joining in the domain and than in AD it appear with small letters also ?
    Thanks in advance,

    If you are asking about during the client join process, I believe the machines do all caps and you have to accept that as default.  I'm guessing it is a legacy issue for older clients that has hung on such as possibly related to WINS.

  • Mysterious Service Connection Point in Active Directory

    Hi
    I have a Service Connection Point (SCP) in my Active Directory called Microsoft Exchange Online. Here is the DN:
    CN=Microsoft Exchange Online,CN=Microsoft Exchange Autodiscover,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=<domain>,DC=<tld>
    The serviceBindingInformation is set to *.outlook.com. The SCP was created way back in 2011.
    Anyone know what this is for?
    I also have the "regular" Exchange CAS SCP which points to my internal Exchange server.
    Thanks
    Morgan

    Hi Morgan,
    I have checked in my Exchange environment. This SCP value also exists in CN=Microsoft Exchange Online,CN=Microsoft Exchange Autodiscover,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=<domain>,DC=<tld> of my environment. This value is generally used for Exchange
    Online (Office 365) hybrid configuration. If there is no hybrid configuration in your environment, you can leave it alone.
    Please just make sure the Keywords and
    ServiceBindingInformationService attributes in the Service Connection Point (SCP) object are configured correctly in your on-promises Exchange server. We can check it in the following location:
     CN=<CAS_SERVER>,CN=Autodiscover,CN=Protocols,CN=<CAS_SERVER>,CN=Servers,CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=Administrative Groups,CN=<ORG>,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=<domain>,DC=<tld>

  • Creating custom fields for manual entry and fields that gather data from Active Directory

    So I am no SQL developer but I am being asked to do this.. I've spent the last few days researching but cannot find anything related to my particular situation.
    I have made a copy of the following report to add or modify a few columns:
     Hardware 01A - Summary of computers in a specific collection
    So I have 2 questions:
    How do I create a field that will search the "Managed By" tab in the Computer Properties window in Active Directory.
    How do I create a field that can be manually updated for example: "Date Deployed" or "Deployed By: Analyst"
    I understand I need edit this in SQL report builder and think I know how to create the columns. I believe all I am really asking is.. What are the SQL statements I need to write in order to get this to work?
    I'm sure it's not as cut and dry as I hope it to be so I will be standing by to try to answer any further information that you will want to know.
    thanks!

    Before you can accomplish this you need:
    "Managed by" -attribute has to be added to your Active Directory System Discovery, more on this here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb693618.aspx
    For "Date Deployed", I'd use a custom Tattoo script in your task sequence to "Tattoo" the installation info in the registry, after that I'd configure the Hardware Inventory to pick that from the registry, more on this here: http://ccmexec.com/2012/08/script-to-tattoo-the-client-registry-during-osd/
    and here: http://www.petervanderwoude.nl/post/reporting-about-the-all-the-different-os-deployment-versions-with-configmgr-2012/
    After those prerequisites, you can start working with SQL reports. More info here: http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2012/10/29/sccm-2012-reporting-for-dummies-creating-your-own-ssrs-reports/
