Firewall's Oracle proxy turned on client's port

Hi All,
To communicate from Database server to Grid Control server we want to open port TCP 4889 and 4900.
Our client want to know, whether the Source servers(database servers) can connect to the Destintation server(Grid Control server) with firewall’s Oracle proxy turned on.
Please let me know whether the grid client will work with firewall’s Oracle proxy turned on. Thanks.

Please follow the section Configuring Enterprise Manager for Firewalls from below doc

  • Oracle Proxy Plugin - IIS - Certificates

    I have a setup where IIS fronts for Oracle Application Server using the Oracle Proxy Plugin. I understand this is fairly routine, however; I have run into a situation where I need Client Certificate information pushed back to a single application on the Oracle Server. According to documentation, the plugin does not backend requests SSL even in an SSL environment. This effectively blocks certificate information from anything sitting behind the plugin. Has anyone found or created a clean workaround/alternative solution to this problem? Unfortunately, IIS has to remain in front and Oracle has to remain behind.

    All,
    Solved it myself and it works with OC4J only.

  • UIX - unable to turn off client and server side field validation

    Hello,
    I've scoured the forums for info on how to turn off client / server side field validation, for the very common case of a Cancel button. Here's the use case:
    User enters a page displaying records of some kind that can be edited, or an option to create a new one. User clicks create, is taken to a new data entry form. Before entering any data, the user decides he isn't interested, and clicks the cancel button.
    The problem I'm having is that I'm getting messages that required fields have no values. I have found several references on this forum that setting the submitButton attribute unvalidated="true" will turn off client side validation. Here's what my submitButton looks like:
    <submitButton text="Cancel" event="success" unvalidated="true"/>
    But I am still getting errors, such as:
    JBO-27014: Attribute ListName in DealerListAppModule.WebDlrListsView1 is required
    Now I have also seen references in the forums to turning off server side validation by overriding the validatModelUpdates method in the DataAction. I have done this too. No luck.
    Any ideas why this isn't working? I have seen other posts in the forums stating that there were improvements in JDev 10.1.2 that caused a create but not insert, where you could just navigate away from the page you were on, without having to worry about rolling back the create of a new record. I am also not seeing this behavior either. I am using 10.1.2, completely updated, but when I execute a create, if I navigate back from the create page to the original one without saving (i had to fool with this to get it to work because of the validation problems above), I am still seeing the blank, created record in my rowset. I originally created my project in 9.0.5.2, but am now using 10.1.2, and having migrated the project.
    So what's the deal? What's the definitive way to turn off both client side and server side validation, and what's the status of this create but not insert functionality?
    Brad

    Haven't worked with this but possibly this method of "deactivation" is not valid in 11gR2? Have you cross checked that with Oracle support?

  • Arrowpoint Cookies, Reverse Proxy and Multiplexed Client Requests

    Hi,
    I have a reverse proxy which is performing SSL offload and making backend connections to two web servers. Between the reverse proxy and the two webservers, a CSS is in place to load balance between the web servers. There is a requirement for session stickiness on the web servers and since client IP details are lost through the reverse proxy I have used the arrowpoint-cookie method to load balance connections.
    However, the reverse proxy seems to make only a handful of connections to the servers compared to the number incoming client connections and we have noticed that stickiness is broken. Now, I would assume this is correct if arrowpoint-cookie makes a load balancing based on the first HTTP get in a tcp stream and not on a per transaction basis AND our reverse proxy is multiplexing client requests. However, I can not convince myself of how the arrowpoint-cookie method actually works.
    I wondered if anyone had any insight on this or had experienced similar issues with arrowpoint cookies?

    Hi Gilles,
    I have implemented this today, and we are still seeing issues with requests hitting the wrong server.
    A bit more info, the reverse proxy is an AXG Web Aopplication Firewall. I have been looking at this and am considering disabling connection re-use on here.
    However I am also wondering if this might be to do with the flow timeout multiplier I am using which is 5 (80 seconds). Perhaps this is too low?
    Thanks, David.

  • Not able to access the Oracle I/PM web client.

    I have started the Administration server and the Oracle I/PM Managed Server. Now I'm trying to access the Oracle I/PM web client at this URL: http://hostname:16000/imaging. But when I hit this URL, the following error comes up:
    Error 404--Not Found
    From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
    10.4.5 404 Not Found
    The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
    If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
    I'm also posting a part of the logs from the IPM_server log file:

  • Using Java Access bridge (Accessibility) with oracle forms 6.0 client

    I'm trying to use JAB (java Access bridge ) to capture events in oracle forms 6.0 client .
    I've a Jinitiator 1.1.8 and JRE version 1.4x
    I've configured JAB as per the installation guide . However the events don't surface in Java Monkey .
    Has anybody encountered similar issue ? what is the solution for the issue ??
    Also on one of the forums I read Jinitiator 1.3x and above is automatically recognised by Java Access bridge .
    For jinitiator version less than 1.3 manual configuration is required . however I haven;'t been able to find any on the oracle forms KB
    Also here is the excerpt from the link http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/accessibility/faqs/index.html
    Q: Are there special steps for using Java-based applications with assistive technology?
    A: If the Oracle application is written in Java, such as JDeveloper or Oracle Forms (runtime), customers must first install the latest version of Sun's Java Access Bridge. The Java Access Bridge provides the integration with screen readers such as JAWS or SuperNova that support Java. You just download the Access Bridge and install it. Sun's AccessBridge 2.0x recognizes Oracle's JInitiator 1.3x and above so no manual configuration steps are necessary. The Access Bridge is available from: http://java.sun.com/products/accessbridge. At the time this document was written, Access Bridge 2.0.1 is the most current publicly available production release; Oracle recommends upgrading to this version. Sun's AccessBridge is bundled with Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) and can be found in the Java Runtime Engine (JRE). More information for configuring such products is in the respective product documentation, or on http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/accessibility/products/index.html.

    The error which i am getting is on SSMA a tool by microsoft to migrate oracle to sql 2008. So that tool is displaying this error when i am trying to connect to oracle by the help of SSMA.That tool may be displaying the error, but it is only passing what it was given by the underlying Oracle client. The MS product really has nothing to do with the underlying problem, and can do nothing to fix it.
    I believe Schavalli is right, you may need to get a 9.2 client in there as an intermediary. I once had a system where the app was built in pro-C and the source was lost so could not be recompiled/relinked. We had to host the db on 10.2 to take advantage of certain security features. Ended up having to have an intermediate 9.2 database for the 8.1 client (and there's where we had to patch up to 8.1.7.4) to connect to, and all of the "tables" in the 9.2 were really just public synonyms to db_links pointing on to the 10.2 database.
    please suggest sth?

  • Error while table Import from Oracle (OBIEE server 64bit & Client 32bit)

    Hi All,
    Problem : ODBC/OCI Connectivity Issue between OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 (64-bit) server and OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 Client (32-bit) local machine.
    We have an OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1(64-bit) setup on a 64-bit ‘Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise’ machine.
    OBIEE dev team members have 32-bit local machines.
    OBIEE “Admin team member” (who will work on RPD) has OBIEE 11g client (BP1) installed on their *32-bit local machine*(which is common client software for 32/64 bit.)
    Now, two ODBC connections were created on this 32-bit local Client machine, with OBIEE 11g client installed on it.
    One with “BI server driver” for connection to OBIEE server machine(64-bit) to open RPD and other with “Oracle database driver” to connect to the Oracle database on 64-bit machine, to import tables.
    With this setup done, I am able to open the RPD in online mode and view the existing sampleapp related objects present in it.
    But when I try to import metadata from OBIEE client admin tool using OCI or ODBC, it gives an error that “Connection fails! “
    I have the required tns entry in my tnsnames.ora file and I am able to connect to this database from the local client machine, using sqlplus.
    Kindly let me know if there are any restrictions in using this type of a setup combination of 32-bit and 64-bit machines for OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 setup.
    If not then, what steps are to be followed to do the setup btw 64-bit OBIEE server and 32-bit OBIEE client to make table import working.

    Hi Veeravalli.. Thanks for your response.
    I have my tns file residing in both the location you mentioned on the server machine. (64-bit)
    •     {Oracle_BI1}\network\admin directory
    •     {oracle_common}\network\admin directory
    And also in the below Oracle_home path of oracle_client in the local machine. (32-bit, Oracle 11g R2 database client)
    •     {oracle_Home}\product\11.2.0\client_1\network\admin
    Also, I have used the full expanded tnsnames as you mentioned. Still issue persists.
    When I use , “DataDirect 6.0 ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol” driver, for creating the system DSN and try to import tables from OBIEE client admin tool on local client machine, the connection happens and table list comes up, but it’s an SAP product and hence it throws a msg to purchase the tool to go further with table import.
    I am wondering if I any other configuration steps need to be carried out, with the ODBC/OCI set up between 64-bit OBIEE server and 32-bit OBIEE client.
    Also, the source database that I am trying to connect to is yet again on a 64-bit machine(Oracle 11g R2).
    Please suggest.

    Hi
    404 Resource not found
    There might be the problem with the server having not to find anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
    *Possible Tips:- *
    • 404 is an HTTP response code that indicates that the resource in question couldn't be found. Usually this is due to an incorrect URL, so it is better to cross check all URLs. Check pipeline URL in the SLD in the business system of the Integration Server For this go to SLD->Business System-><yourIntegrtaion Server>->Pipeline URL: It should be like this http://<host>:<port>/sap/xi/engine?type=entry Where host is the host name of the Integration Server and port is the HTTP(8xxx) port. To verify this in Integration Server you can do like this. Go to SXMB_ADM->Integration Engine Configuration->Choose Edit from Menu -> Change Global Configuration Data to switch to change mode. Then select System Landscape - Load Configuration. (This is not required always)
    • Check that the port really is the ICM HTTP Port and not the J2EE port i.e SMICM then menu GOTO --> SERVICES and check the port number for HTTP. It should be HTTP port
    • If the error is Page cannot be displayed, cannot find server in https configurations Check and correct the SSL configuration for the ABAP and the J2EE side of the system
    • If the error is because of integration server when using Proxy communications then check these. i.e SXMB_ADM->Integration Engine Configuration->Corresponding Integration Server enrty should be dest://<Http Integration server-Destination> Where < Http Integration server -Destination > is the RFC destination (SM59) of type HTTP connection (type H) to the Integration Server. In this case, host name, port, and path prefix are saved in the RFC destination
