Error in External application portlet

I receive this message when I try to configure the external application portlet:
Error: Error interno (WWC-00006)
Se ha encontrado un error inesperado en wwptl_fapp.show_edit_list (ORA-29273: fallo de la solicitud HTTP
ORA-06512: en "SYS.UTL_HTTP", línea 1674

Fallo del sistema al recuperar la solicitud HTTP necesaria hecha al Servidor SSO para validar este usuario. (WWC-41447)
And I cannot continue..
Some clue?

429545, as I said in another thread, it is probably better to post portal specific questions to one of the many portal forums that can be found at

Single Sign-On and External Applications Portlet

I would like to know how complicated would be to call an External Application with SSO (like Hotmail), outside the External Applications Portlet.
We have defined around 10 external applications with SSO,they worked fine.
but due to look&feel issues, we would like to put them in a content area , like items that when the user clicks, takes them to the external application and performs the single sign-on.
Any advice will be appreciated.
tks!!

Maria, I was experimenting with this last night, to answer your question, and I think a cool way of doing this would be the following:
Create a custom attribute called "App ID" - make this a NUMBER type. This is where the external application id will be stored.
Create a custom item type: "External Application"
You have two options for the base type: either "URL" or "<None>". If you pick URL, then you can have the item contain the URL for fapp_process_login, but this is not advisable because it will require the administrator to type in this long URL every time a new application is added.
If you select base type URL, you should use that URL to let the administrator provide a URL to the application's homepage, or a help page or something of that sort.
Edit the newly created item to set the Attribute and Procedure properties.
Add the "App ID" attribute - no default.
On the Procedure tab, add the following procedures (called as HTTP), each with the App ID passed as "p_app_id":
Login http://server.domain.com/pls/portal30_sso/portal30_sso.wwsso_app_admin.fapp_process_login
Edit http://server.domain.com/pls/portal30_sso/portal30_sso.wwsso_app_admin.edit_fappuser
That's it!
Add the new custom item type to a folder, and all the administrator needs to do is set the title, and App ID for the new item.
Excercise for the Reader
You will notice that clicking on the Edit link will take you to the login server when you are done editing the credentials. To avoid this, pass another parameter to the edit procedure - p_done_url, and set a value for that to point to the page that you want to go to after editing credentials.

No External Applications visible in Portlet

I have just upgrade from Oracle Portal 3.0.9 to 3.0.9.8.1 (Patch applied to loginserver and portal schema) and the External Applications that were set up have gone from the portlet.
If I go to the "Login Server Administration" portlet and select the link "Administer External Applications" I get a list of 5 External Applications that have previously been set up.
If I go back to the Home Page and select "customize" on the "External Applications" portlet I get the message "Your Login Server administrator has not registered any external applications".
Any ideas why the External Applications portlet cannot see them any more ?
Thanks

Hello Balakrishnan and Sharmila,
First of all I want to say thank you for trying to help me.
Sharmila, I did exactly what you suggest but it still doesn4t working, I can4t see
the reports in my portlet repository ... I saw many question as mine in this forum
but all of then aren't completely solved. (After I click "OK" in customization form display
options tab, I remembered to do the "Refresh Portlet Repository").
Balakrishnan, I did what you suggest too, the copy was fine, the roport was copy
from one provider to another, but even doing this the report doesn't appear
in the new provider on the portlet repository(I remembered to do the "Refresh Portlet Repository").
Note that my reports are already working inside portal (using "Run as Portlet")
in the "Develop" tab of my component ...
and just the reports I couldn't see, the forms that I did are there in the portlet repository !
Even the reports that came with the portal providers, like the ones in PEOPLE_APP provider
from PORTAL_DEMO owner doesn't appear in my portlet repository.
So .... if you have more suggests I4ll appreciate a lot !
Best regards,
Renato

Can't customise External Application (WWC 41610)

hi,
I am using Oracle Portal 3.0.9.
I have a problem which I can't customise my External Application
portlet.
The error msg is "Error: The list of External Applications is
too large. (WWC-41610)"
However, I can configure the external applications in Login
Server. It only has 2 applications.
Any idea??
Another question: I accidentally delete the left region of the
homepage. Is it possible for me to create a new region on the
left instead of on the right?
thanks.

Thanks. No error if I clear the proxy server.
However, I wonder what's wrong with the setting of the proxy
server.
The setting is as below:
HTTP Server: xxx.xxx.xxx.x
HTTP Server Port : xxxx
No Proxy Servers for Domains beginning with: (null)
URL Connection Time-Out (seconds): 30
Thanks in advance

Customized Setting of External Applications are NOT saved if using templates

We are using templates and on the template we have put the "External Application" portlet .
Now if normal user tries and customize this portlet then these settings are not saved.
Like user want's to see only 2 applications so he checks only 2 applications but these settings are not saved and portal still shows 5 applications to that user.

I haven't seen this problem. Please report it to Oracle Support.

External Application without portal ?

Hi all
I have several applications built in JSP + BC4J , deployed in Oracle Application Server 10G (9.0.4) , operating system is windows 2000 server.
Application server middle tier and infrastruture are in the same server.
I have added all applications to SSO as External Application
I'm not using Portal, so, how can i make this applications "visible" to end user ?
Should i built and JSP page wich lists all External Applications, asks for login/password if authentication cookie not exits ??
is there any other way of doing it without portal ???
Best Regards
Rui Madaleno

Rui,
actually the External Applications implementation is completely separate from the Portal and does not require it to function. (The external Applications Portlet is a simple interface to expose the list of external applications.
If you are looking for a simple interface to expose the list, it is much as you describe. Building a simple Partner application which has links referencing the appropriate SSO server URLs. Storing the links in a table and simply querying them allows for a simple interface that can be secured/modified withour haveing to change the page itself.

[Problem]Registering "External Applications" in Oracle Portal

We want to register an external application (simple HTML based login application) with Oracle Portal 10.1.4. We followed the steps documented and registered the external application. We did provide the necessary credentials and checked the remember credentials check box.
We added the External Application Portlet which provides a link to the added application. However, everytime we click the link , instead of automatically logging into external application , we are shown the external application login screen.
Our environment: Oracle 10.1.4 Portal ; Oracle 10.1.2 Appserver
Appreciate any help to solve the problem.
Thanks

Hey 619948:
These can be tricky to track down. Typically, there are 1 or more form fields missing from the external application that the actual application needs to log you in. Here's the flow I use to setup external apps.
1) Go to login page of the external app and view the page source
2) Find the URL in the action address of the <FORM tag or in the JavaScript used for submitting the form
3) Find every form input including <INPUT, <SELECT, etc and note their names and their values (if any). This includes hidden ones
4) The tricky part -- try to make an educated guess as to which fields are required and which ones are optional. This is not always obvious
5) Setup your external application with the Action URL as the URL, the username and password fields where indicated and adding in any extra fields identified in step 4
If that still doesn't do the trick, I use the Web Developer plugin for Firefox to change the POST (if that is what is used for logging in) to a GET so I can see the exact fields being submitted on the application's login page. Sometimes, it may be an obscure button like submit=submit.
Finally, some applications just don't play well with externally logging in. This is one of the cases where it really isn't Oracle Portal's doing. Some apps just have so much coding and scripts etc. on their login page that you just can't login except through thier page.

How to grant privilege to Change Stored Password in External Application ?

Hi,
I have added an external application in portal but if I did not grant manage privilege for the page that I have added "External Applications Portlet" then the users are unable to change stored password. How can I grant users to do this action only?

You cannot log in by supplying a password's hashed value. You should supply the real password. The SQL Authenticator (or the ReadOnlySQLAuthenticator) in the Weblogic Server then will calculate the hash value of the password you supplied and will compare it with the hash value stored in your database table. Of course, in order to do that you should configure the SQL Authenticator to retrieve the hashed password values from the DB table with the appropriate prefix (e.g. {SHA}, {SSHA} or {MD5} depending on the hashing algorithm you used for the passwords in the DB table) in order for the WLS to know which hashing algorithm to apply.

Display a New External Application

I added a new External Application and set it to display by default in the External Applications portlet. But, for existing users that have customized (or set up SSO logins) the existing applications, the new applications are not showing up. If a user clicks "Customize", it lists the new application, and they can make it display by checking "Display". But, they wouldn't know to do that if we didn't tell them that it's there.
How can I force new external applications to display in an existing External Applications portlet for current users?
Thanks.

hi,
this is the correct behavior for any portlet. as soon as there are customizations/personalizations the user's view cannot be changed anymore. i can see 2 different possibilities how to solve that problem:
1. disable all personalization capabilities for that page/portlet so that users can no longer modify their view of the portlet
2. add an announcement portlet (richt text, etc.) next to the external apps portlet to notify users on newly added things.
hope this helps.

christian

How to automatically invoke external applications link.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to cause an
external application link to be selected upon portal page load.
We have a number of basic auth applications and we do not want
the user to have to click on the external applications portlet
to be authorized.
In short, can we cause a link to be selected on portal page
load?
Any ideas would be helpful...
Thanks

Error in registering a provider for External Application for Web Clipping

when trying to register a provider for an external application for Web Clipping

Hi Vineet,
The admins applied a patch to my version of the OracleAS 10g Version 9.0.4. and now I able to register a provider with the same URL but different Provider Name. I added My Yahoo Web Clipping from the Portlet Staging Area. That works fine but when I click on the check mail link in the Web Clipping Studio it gives me the following error. I have tried several times and I get the same error....

URL based portlet from external application

Hello,
I'm trying to integrate a forms 6i patch 10 application into SSO.
First, I created an external application, passing it the correct parameters.
Everything went ok, and I can successfully call it by entering
"Administer Enternal Application" link on Oracle Portal.
Now I want to make a portlet from this external application. For that I'm
using PDK URL Services. So I reused the urlexternalauth provider which is
included in the latest PDK. The provider.xml is included below. I successfully
registered the provider, by following the wizard "Register Portlet Provider" on
Oracle Portal. But when I call the portlet, the html startup file for the form
is base.htm. When I call the external application through the "Administer Enternal Application" link,
I get the right html startup file, which is basejini.htm.
So I need basejini.htm called from the portlet, and not base.htm.
Thanks,
Andri.

Andrea,
Could you tell me if FORMS 6i authentication process is based on cookies? The reason being, URL based portlets SSO feature is primarily driven by External Application's cookies, which act as authentication tokens. Once a valid user information is submitted to the External Application, cookies (if any) are received and stored so that they can be re-used in further connections. A typical flow of events can be summarized as follows :
At provider level :
1. Connect to External Application.
2. Submit user information to url specified by External Application's login URL.
3. Fetch cookies
4. Store them for future use.
At portlet level :
1. Read cookies fetched through provider, pertaining to this portlet.
2. Open connection to url specified by <pageUrl> tag in provider.xml
3. Read content and display in the portlet.
From the provider.xml, I can see that we are trying to show content given by http://venezuela.rjo.br.odebrecht.com:7780/servlet/f60servlet servlet, which has two parameters called {config and database}. This makes the resulting URL as http://venezuela.rjo.br.odebrecht.com:7780/servlet/f60servlet?config=icorp&database=venezula. I guess when this URL is accessed directly, FORMS servlet will redirect the user to base.htm file. Important point to note here is that when URL based portlet makes connection to the above URL, user information is not directly sent along with the request. Instead, cookies fetched from External Application, if any, are sent. But when the same application is viewed through portal's External Application, user information is directly submitted to the login URL. So, before deciding on something, it is important to know how different is the loginURL specified through portal's External Application details, from <pageUrl> of URL based portlets?
