External login concerns

I have been implementing OS authentication on a database in development. I have seen a lot of warnings on security holes caused by OS authentication.
I am currently working with an Oracle 11g back-end database running on Linux; the front-end is MS Access 2003 running on WinXP. I need to be able to log onto the back-end without explicitly entering a username and password. How is this best done?
If you know of other threads concerning this please direct me to them. If there aren't any, I suppose this may be as good a time as any to begin one.
Thanks.

For this effort I am the DBA, Developer, "expert" (in that I am the only one in our group who knows anything about Oracle: I am a certified developer and have taken the first Oracle DBA training workshop), do all and end all (such as I am).
I will look at the Oracle documentation for some answers but I have found that, as often as not, the indexes are not of much use in finding the information I need. I guess that part of my question is to get some direction on where to start looking within the documentation to begin finding answers.
Some other details.
I recently had to change from a single machine, all windows environment, to a single machine Linux/Windows (via VirtualBox) environment. The Oracle DB is running on the Linux side and MS Access in running within VirtualBox. I have been successful in setting up links to the Database from within Windows but all of my efforts to this point require username/password. In the old system I was able to access the ODB as I wanted very successfully but I have forgotten how I had things set up and cannot find the documentation I had (I'm being more careful this time).
I completed a large amount of my development in the former setup. In that setup I was using External OS Authentication to access the Oracle DB with a System DSN defined in the Windows environment to access the Oracle DB from the Access DB. In the VBA code I have been initializing ADODB.Connetcion objects and opening the connections with the Open method using a line like cnn.Open "DSN=myDSN"This opening of the database connection is performed many times in the code and I cannot have the user logging in when back-end access is required.

Creating an external login?

Hello everyone,
I have a quick question, we have our new website loaded on our new web server with webtools on the same server just on a different port. We feature a "Client Login" box on the website, I want to know if it is possible to link that in to the Webtools login. Right now I linked the "Go" button to http://XXXXXXX:8080/common/accounts/login.aspx. The X's are the IP address to our server and the :8080 is the port were webtools is located. I appreciate any help!
Here is a screenshot of the the login box:
http://aquaproducts.com/login_box_homepage.jpg
Edit: When you enter in the username and password in the box and hit "Go" it takes you to the account page but doesn't log the user in.
Edited by: Daniel Albeck on Jan 14, 2009 12:15 PM

The following code is what I have for the login box on the actual website (which isn't directly linked in with web tools, webtools is on its own port and has no link to the website other than this login box. I also set the default webtools theme to be associated with the domains IP address and port because we have not yet forwarded the domain over)
<form action="http://XX.XX.XXX.XX:8080/common/accounts/myaccount.aspx" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
                    <tr>
                      <td colspan="3" class="loginbox"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" width="15" height="1" border="0"></td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                      <td width="57" class="loginbox">Username:</td>
                      <td width="98"><input name="textarea" type="text" class="smallbox" value="" size="15"></td>
                      <td width="41"> </td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                      <td><span class="loginbox">Password:</span></td>
                      <td><input name="textarea" type="password" class="smallbox" value="" size="15">
                      </td>
                      <td><input name="go" id="loginBTN" type="submit" value="Submit"/></td>
                    </tr>
                  </form>
It's still giving me a problem but that could be because I am not 100% what I am doing right here so I am not sure if I am linking the correct thing or not. Sidenote: I didnt originally code this a company that we outsourced coded this using Dreamweaver templates and tables with spacer.gif's, I have been in the process of converting over to DIV's on down time.

Login in to OBIEE with Oracle Apps Credentials

How can i connect to OBIEE repository and presentation services using Oracle Apps (ebusiness suite) user name and password the same way it can be done in discoverer.
if anyone can point me to a link or give me his own opinion on how to do that please do.
Thanks

Hy Daan,
You are the king of Ebs.
A little search on google over ExternalLogon, return me on this page :
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10416/general_10134.htm#BEHJFJDD
11.5.3.2 Specifying the External Login for Single Sign-On with EPM Workspace
An external token (or ticket) can be passed to Oracle BI Presentation Services by another system, which facilitates the use of Single Sign-on with EPM Workspace and Oracle BI.
To configure for a token to be passed from EPM Workspace to Oracle BI Presentation Services for Single Sign-on, you must add or modify the <ExternalLogon> element of the instanceconfig.xml file as follows:
<Auth>
<ExternalLogon enabled="true" logonPageAllowed=”true”>
   <ParamList>
      <Param name="UID" source="url" nameInSource="sso_token"/>
      <Param name="PWD" source="constant" value="obips.hss.ssotoken"/>
   </ParamList>
</ExternalLogon>
</Auth>Does it mean that you need Oracle SSO (the ldap of oracle) ?

Custom Login Module and failover

I'm trying to figure out how to handle authentication when failover from one OC4J to another occurs. I have a custom login module using the example provided by Frank Nimphius (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/10g/jaassec/index.htm)
I see different results for this "external" custom login module than for either JAZN file store or for the built-in DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule that comes with OC4J and am wondering why.
Scenario 1 - File authentication using JAZN file store
Results: Works well.
Failover works and when failover occurs, the login page is not displayed. (no 2nd login is required).
Scenario 2 - Custom login module using DB store through the OC4J built-in DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule
Results: Works well.
Failover works and when failover occurs, the login page is not displayed. (no 2nd login is required).
Scenario 3 (problematic scenario) - Custom login module using DB store through an external login module (not in OC4J). I used the DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule from Frank
Nimphius with no modifications for this test.
Results: Failover works. But when failover occurs, the login page is displayed and the user has to login again. Question: Why doesn't failover also cover the authentication as in the previous 2 scenarios?
Note: I tried to fix this by adding Java_sso. This does appear to take care of having to log in a second time but raises new issues. One is that authentication is called for every request. Then after the failover occurs, I see a log message indicating the login module aborted but authentication appears to succeed regardless.

Not able to login with AEM 6.0 Configuration

HI All,
After Migrating to OAK (CRX3) Repository i am unable to login and getting as below error

So basically i am not getting Login(welcome) Screen but I could able to login to OSGI console
*ERROR* [qtp1173581562-32] com.day.cq.auth.impl.LoginSelectorHandler requestCredentials: Abort login due to apparent misconfiguration.

Inputs would be Appriciated!!!

Hi,
"IF someone can help me and to guide me how enable this SAP* using or adding or amending the parameter 'login/no_automatic_user_sapstar' = '0' Zero"
- Please set the parameter login/no_automatic_user_sapstar = 0 in Default profile and restart instance to activate SAP* with password PASS. If same parameter exists in Instance profile, please change there also before restart.
As soon as you login with SAP*, please reset the password of DDIC in client 800.
"Also I have created some users for learning and testing propose but I have give SAP_ALL authorization in the profile but What I have understood is giving SAP_ALL making the user super User (plz correct me if I am wrong)
So What profile WE must select so that a normal user who can be able to use most of the task and learn the ABAP or other features configured"
- You can assign SAP_NEW and SAP_CUST or equivalent customized profiles/roles to users for learning and testing propose.
"And What profile does this user has to be in because the faculty from whom I am learning BASIS told me it has to be in client "800" if this is correct then how can I copy a user from one client to another client"
- You can copy entire user master (profile SAP_USER) from one client to other using local client copy (SCCL).
Hope you are answered.
Thanks,

2 edge servers and 2 front end servers?

Good morning/afternoon/evening Technet,
We're about to go to production with Lync 2013 standard with the following.
1. 2 front end servers w/ standard edition
2. 2 edge servers
We want to set it up so that 1 front end and 1 edge server will be at a location of ours a couple miles away. We want to setup the other front end and edge server at our main office. For disaster recovery purposes I know that I can keep the two front ends
pooled but as far as the Edge servers go, would it be best to have 1 active and the other edge turned passive? Is there a way that I can put the two edge servers in the same pool?
Thanks for all the help guys and gals!
-Liqsh0t

Hi,
Each Site can use a separate Edge Server to support external login process.
However, it is possible to use single Edge server for both pools. The user from the other site has to connect to the only edge and then route though the WAN link to go to its own pool. Access Edge is responsible for proxying SIP traffic for remote clients
to the next hop, which can be a Director or a Lync pool.

Mac Mini Unable to Log On

I've already posted this in a few places, but I still am no closer to an answer, so I'll repost here.
I've got a few Intel Core Solo Mac Mini's that suddenly began prompting for username and password at the logon screen, but they appear to have another window in the background. The machines will not allow logon from any logon, even after attempting password resets using the Tiger install disk, repairing disk permissions, resetting PRAM and PMU, upgrading to Leopard, imaging from another computer, and everything else I could come up with. It looks as if the user accounts are gone when I go into single user mode, but the folders are still present when I look in target disk mode.
A fresh base installation of Leopard works for a month or so, then the same issue comes back. Any suggestions?

Check the console logs for any evidence of other external logins, etc.
Do other users have access to the administrator account or password on these computers?
Since this happens with two different OSs and not immediately, I would suspect "tinkering" but perhaps it could be something else.
What is turned on in the Sharing pane?
Are all the preference pane locks locked?
In a terminal run
last
and see who is/was logged into the computer

ALV with dropdown in column and other questions

hi,
I created an editable alv with configuration model via external context mapping.
now I have a column which contains strings and my aim is to show this whole column as a dropdownlist. the possible values of this dropdown are fetched in a database table at runtime and each cell in this column got its own selected value in this dropdownlist.
changes of the selected values should be written in the database table in a later step.
1. what changes do I have to do?
should I remove my external mapping concerning the alv and use the setData method? or what is the easiest way to get my dropdownlist in this column instead of normal text (string) ?
2. should I choose dropdownbykey or by index?
   I suppose I have to change the context when changing the selected value in the dropdownlist and the read out the changed context element and update my database table?
3. how could I access rows (= tuples) in an alv?
4. how can I avoid that a row could be deleted, inserted or added with the normal functions of the alv?

Hi Thorsten,
If the possible list of values in the dropdown is different for each row, you need a drop down by index. Else this can be done using a dropdown by key itself.
The only change that you need to do is create a cell editor of type dropdown for that particular column and configure your ALV model.
The sample code for changing the cell editor would be:
    l_alv_model = l_ref_interfacecontroller->get_model( ).
DATA:
     lr_column_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_column_settings,
     lr_column type ref to CL_SALV_WD_COLUMN.
     lr_dropdown TYPE REF TO CL_SALV_WD_UIE_DROPDOWN_BY_KEY.
lr_column_settings ?= l_alv_model.
lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( <column name> ).
CREATE OBJECT lr_dropdown EXPORTING
SELECTED_KEY_FIELDNAME= '<fieldname>'
lr_column->set_cell_editor( lr_dropdown ).
Here, you can substitute the field name with your field name that has to be displayed as a dropdown.
The dropdown list can be populated in the wddoinit method by attaching a value set to the attribute in the context node info. Everything else will be like you do in a normal table. You can so a get_static_attributes of your elements and persist in tables. Whenever you change the selected value, the context will be updated immediately. You can have a user defined function like 'Save' or something where you can just read the context and process the data.
If you do not want to display any of the normal functions, you can do the following:
data: lt_functions type SALV_WD_T_FUNCTION_STD_REF,
        ls_function type SALV_WD_s_FUNCTION_STD_REF.
lt_functions = l_alv_model->if_salv_wd_function_settings~get_functions_std( ).
loop at lt_functions into ls_function.
ls_function-r_function->set_visible( CL_WD_UIELEMENT=>E_VISIBLE-NONE ).
endloop.
The above code will hide all the standard functions. If you want to hide specific ones, do a get_function(id) and set_visible.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Nithya

SAP IQ 16 Hang in the last phase of insert from ASE 15.7 using RLV

Problem description:
When I try to load 73K rows from ASE 15.7 to IQ 16.0 SP3 the IQ server ‘hang’ at the last phase of the insert (merge RLV store to main IQ dbspace).
Hang: The server stops responding; stop writing to iqmsg; and, I’m unable to stop the server using stop_iq; the only way to stop the server is to kill the process (on Unix).
Any suggestion on how to solve this issue will be appreciated.
My configuration
Adaptive Server Enterprise/15.7/EBF 21339 SMP SP101 /P/X64/Windows Server/ase157sp101/3439/64-bit/OPT/Thu Jun 06 12:11:05 2013
Sybase IQ/16.0.0.653/131122/P/sp03/Sun_Sparc/OS 5.10/64bit/2013-11-22 01:16:26 (8 cores)
How to reproduce the problem:
In ASE 15.7
Create and populate the following table:
CREATE TABLE dbo.MyTable (
        Program                 varchar(3) NULL,
        EncNum                  varchar(12) NULL,
MRN                     varchar(8) NULL,
IntervalStartDtm varchar(19) NULL,
        IntervalEndDtm          varchar(19) NULL,
        IntervalType            varchar(50) NULL,
        IntervalDuration        numeric(19,4) NULL,
        PhysFirstName           varchar(50) NULL,
        PhysLastName            varchar(50) NULL,
        PhysNum                 varchar(6) NULL,
        Location                varchar(3) NULL,
        DiseaseSite             varchar(20) NULL,
        Priority                int NULL,
        DelayReason             int NULL,
        ExcludeFlag             varchar(1) NULL
LOCK ALLPAGES
GO
I’d around 73,000 rows, you can populate the table with random data.
EndNum are of format ‘999999999999’
MRN number are of format ‘99999999’

GO
set option public.SNAPSHOT_VERSIONING = 'Row-level'
set option public.RV_RESERVED_DBSPACE_MB = 500
alter table DBA. MyTable
enable RLV STORE
On ASE 15.7
Create a new session (disconnect and reconnect)
Create the new server
sp_addserver 'devDwIqSrvr', ASIQ, 'ohdwdbdev01:4101'
Add and external login
sp_addexternlogin devDwIqSrvr, sa, DBA, myPassword
Create proxy a table
`
create proxy_table MyTable _proxy
at 'devDwIqSrvr.devDwIqDb.DBA. MyTable '
Execute
insert into dbo. MyTable _proxy
select * from dbo. MyTable
In the 2 servers where I tested, the IQ server ‘hang’ after around 1 hrs.

Hi Chris,
Thanks a lot for your help.
As per your suggestion, I increased the –iqrlvmem to 4096
And also, set option public.RV_Auto_Merge_Eval_Interval = 1
But, still have the same behavior.
Here you can see the state of the IQ server just a few seconds before it hang.
select SpCount/2 from
sp_iqtransaction()
where TxnID = 119410926
SELECT TOTAL FROM sp_iqrlvmemory('myTable', 'DBA')
exec sp_iqstatus
sp_iqtransaction.SpCount/2
72607.5   (approximate number of tables already loaded on the RLV part of the table)
1 record(s) selected [Fetch MetaData: 0ms] [Fetch Data: 0ms]
TOTAL
252
1 record(s) selected [Fetch MetaData: 0ms] [Fetch Data: 0ms]

LoginFilter not working correctly

My Login filter is behaving very strangely. Here is the relevant code from the filter.
if (o != null
                || (url != null && (url.indexOf(LOGIN_URL) > 0
                        || url.indexOf(LOGIN_FORM_URL) > 0
                        || url.indexOf(EXTERNAL_LOGIN_URL) > 0
                        || url.indexOf(EXTERNAL_LOGIN_FORM_URL) > 0
                        || url.indexOf("images") > 0 || url.indexOf(services) > 0))) {
            chain.doFilter(request, response);
            return;The problem is we are trying to allow an external application to log into mine. The external application generates a link with an /externalLogin.do as the href. It steps into the above code and the indexOf() correctly finds it and the chain.doFilter is executed. But it never makes it to the externalLoginAction.java.
If I copy the link and put it on my Login.jsp page and click it, it makes it to the chain.doFilter the same but then continues on to the externalLoginAction.java.
So it look like the chain.doFilter is not working correctly if it is not comming from the same context?
Anyone have any ideas?

stupid stupid stupid.
The first url was passing userName and password in the URL the second somehow got changed to userId... so struts was kicking it back.. just changed my struts config to not validate the external login form.

HTTP POST method does not pass parameters to the server

Hi ,
I am using SSO using VSJ product and implemented using a filter.
I have problems as below
1. Every request to the web server will be intercepted by this vsj filter and if sso does not succeed it will send 403
2. my system will detect 403 in web.xml and redirect to login page
3. user key in username and password and log in
4. after successful login set the HttpSession and redirect to homepage
Problem is subsquent form submit / ajax call using "POST" method cannot pass any parameters to the servers ( parameters sent using POST will be null in the servers ) ? GET is okay
If i comment out the vsj filter altogether , everything works as per normal.
My Question is
1. Is there anyway to overcome come ?
2. Is there any method to clear off whatever this sso vsj has set ( clear cookies / start new browser instance / etc ) in order to forget the state
Any idea?
Thanks

Yes.
here to illustrate
public MyFilter extends VSJAuthFilter
*public void doFilter(){*
*if(session.getAttribute("loginSucces") != true){*
super.doFilter(); //call VSJ Auth filter to perform SSO in order to get User Principal populated.
*}else{*
chain.doFilter(); // normal filter
My Filter only intercepts *.jsp and *.do
Basically here is the pattern that i observe
1. If i hit default url (homepage.do) for the first time it will trigger the super.doFilter() , it will then throw 403 and redirect to login.html , after success and go to homepage , subsequent POST parameter is missing
2. if i hit the external login page directly just to simulate ( eg : login.html ) it wont trigger this filter , after success and go to homepage , subsequenet POST parameter is okay
3. GET is always ok
I am using weblogic server 10.x btw
Thanks

Oracle Access manager 10.1.4 (coreid) multiple authentication for same URL

I am evaluating oracle access manager hence new to this product.
I have a requirement where i have a /wps URL.
Users coming externally go through reverse proxy server to the final IIS web server. Internal user access IIS directly.
/wps should be protected by reverse proxy using forms authentication
while IIS server also protect /wps but should use basic authentication.
Looks like policy is shared by all webgates so i can define one authentication method for /wps.
Comparing this with CA Siteminder each agent have their own URLs to protect and so two agents can protect the same URL but with different authentication method. The single signon works as the protection level is same.

I have not done what you are speaking of; so I would assume that Boland is correct. One thing that you may want to consider is making the external users log into another resource before they hit the /wps. If the other resource is forms protected and at the same authentication level (number on auth scheme), then they can hit the external login resource, get their OBSSO cookie, then slide right thru the basic authentication request of the current policy domain.
Another idea would be to get a little more granular with your current policy domain. Have a file that's protected with forms auth in your policy domain that the external users authenticate to. Remember, this could be as simple as a dummy page that just does an HTTP redirect.
Good luck.

Checking session variables

I have an external login service that I'm using to authenticate users. After logging in, I get an XML file from which I can pull things like user ID and rights.
The login page redirects to an index page in another folder (which is protected by the authentication service) and on that page, I have a <cfif> statement that looks at rights.
The rights returned are "J" (for judge) and "A" (for admin), which I'm setting as the session variable: session.rights
If I do this:
<cfif session.rights eq "A">
admin section
<cfelseif session.rights eq "J">
judge section
<cfelse>
redirect to the login page
</cfif>
The else is what triggers. If I cfoutput #session.rights# I get J, but for some reason, J does not equal J. I've tried trimming it and everything, to no avail.
Any ideas?

Yeah, I've trimmed everything everywhere, to no avail.
