Function of the default realm in security settings?

What is the function of the default realm in the security settings of the app server?
what is the effect of specifying "ldap" as the realm-name in the login-config in web.xml? When specifying ldap, but leaving the default realm on "file", ldap is not used. only when changing the default realm to ldap, ldap authentication is attempted.
Is there a way to debug the actual query that is being sent to the configured ldap server? when setting the log-level to finest, some information is provided, but not enough.
TIA
Peter

Hi Peter,
Specifying the realm name in the web.xml won't help. The user will be authenticated with whatever the default realm set in the AppServer. So here the realm specified in web.xml doesn't have any use.
If you want to use LDAP for your user authentication change the DefaultRealm to LDAP instead of File. Also configure the LDAPRealm properties to point to the correct directory server and directory name.
Maximum information will be logged when the LOG Level is set to FINEST and Audit is enabled in the Secuirty node of the appServer adminGUI, that will contain the default realm set and any security related activities logged.
Do the following to enabled the Maximum logging.
Open up the AdminGUI and goto the security node under the server1 instance.Click on the General tab on the right frame and set the log level to FINEST and check the Audit checkbox . Save, apply the changes and restart the AppServer .During the startup the log will show what is the default realm set.
While the application is running all the security messages will be logged.

  • Default Domain Policy security settings block inheritance

    I know this has been answered in one way but just to clarify, in our case default domain policy contains password security policies, Network security: LAN Manager authentication level, and some
    Public Key Policies/Trusted Root
    Certification Authorities settings. All of these are on computer settings, user side is disabled and is not Enforced.  
    Question is that if further down AD there is a inheritance filter applied, would all of the settings form Default domain policies would pass through or just security settings?
    I find that they have also linked the default domain policy at OUs where they have put inhetitance filter, probably thinking that they wanted to filter out every other policy but the default domain policy.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    >>Question is that if further down AD there is a inheritance filter applied, would all of the settings form Default domain policies would pass through or just security settings?
    The default domain policy will be blocked by enabling block inheritance at OU level. As Ramu suggested, we can enforce the default domain policy to prevent it from being blocked.
    In addition, regarding this question, the following thread can also be referred to for more information.
    Can I block inheritance of "Default Domain Policy"?

  • How can I revert back to the default config on Secure Access Server 5.3?

    We recently purchased new Secure Access Control Servers version 5.1 and have upgraded to version  5.3 with current patches.  Several people have configured one of the appliances and we would like to revert back to the original config with no NDGs or Devices or any other variables configured.  Is this possible?

    While looking up a command in the CLI reference, I also found the command to reset the acs to factory default.  It is "acs reset-config".  This resets the acs portion only, not the linux appliance, so your IP addresses, DNS, etc. are retained.  It does clear out the license for the ACS, so if you use this make sure you have the license file.  You will also have to go through the initial password setup again.

  • Error: security settings prevent acces to this property or method

    Hello everybody,
    I'm facing an error when i open up a portfolio which i've performed some javascript. This script has the function to position over a specific document
    contained in portfolio and  when i open up it through Adobe Reader, it shows me the following error:
    NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method. Collecition.initialDoc:6:Document-level:onOpen
    I checked reader properties in preferences and javascript is allowed.
    How can i resolve this issue?
    Thanks.

    Did you read the documentation of the  property or method?

  • NotAllowedError: Security settings for template.spawn()

    I'm creating a PDF document that heavily uses the template.spawn() method. My understanding is that the spawn() method is allowed whenever the PDF document is given "Reader Rights" in Acrobat. I am using Acrobat X (and Acrobat Forms, not LiveCycle) and have saved my PDF with Reader Extended Rights. When I load the file in Reader 11 and click the button that spawns pages, I get the javascript error: NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method. Am I doing something wrong or have I misunderstood the notation in the Adobe API that says .spawn() is allowed with Reader Form Rights?
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi John,
    All the changes from version to version sure make things confusing.  When Adobe Reader XI was released it came with some new features that DO NOT require Rights and those include the ability to Spawn Templates as well as Fill and Save data in PDF forms ( not LiveCycle though, just to add more confusion).  So first, you don't need to add Rights to your PDF at all unless you require some other Right that is not availalbe free in Adobe Reader XI.  Given that, ALL of your users will need to use Adobe Reader XI or Acrobat since earlier versions of Reader do not include the Spawn Templates without Rights.  And, if you want Spawn Templates to work in an earlier version of Adobe Reader, that is one of those that required the expensive LiveCycle Reader Extension server product, not one built into Acrobat.
    When you do apply rights to a PDF those Rights block all functionality not explicitly granted by the Right.  Since Spawn is there already your applying Rights negates it- kinda wierd but pretty sure that's why you get the error.
    The Spawn Templates is such a great new addition to Reader though, isn't it?
    Hope this helps,

  • Security settings for all users

    I recently developed a document that requires digital signatures and have been testing it. The only downside is that when a user opens the document, Adobe prompts for the installation of new security settings, and it installs it for that user only. I need to add a registry key to the new security settings, but it is only available to be added to the current user hive. Does anyone know how to install the new settings for all users?
    Here is the registry key I need to add.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\Security\cPubSec]
    "bSelfSignCertGen"=dword:00000000
    Im using Adobe Reader 9.3 and Win XP.
    Any help would be terrific!
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    There are really two separate issues. First, is Adobe pushing updates to the Acrobat Address Book (i.e. adding certificates as trust anchors) and the second issue is how you can push your own update to disable the creation of self-signed digital IDs. Although the two issues share an underlying mechanism, they are separate and you cannot leverage one for the other.
    First issue first. Adobe has entered into partnership with certain Certificate Authorities and has created a mechanism to add their certificates to the Acrobat Address Book (aka Manage Trusted Identities) using http to send a copy of the Security Settings file that contains only digital IDs. There are two ways to trigger the download process. One is to go into the Preferences, select Trust Manager, and click the Update Now button in the Automatic Updates group box. The other method is to load the DigSig plug-in (beginning with Acrobat 9, plug-ins no longer load a launch in order to speed up the launch process). As I'm sure you have deduced, opening a file with a signature field cause the DigSig plug-in to load which in turn triggers the automatic download. The reason we have limited the automatic download to DigSig being loaded is because the vast majority of people viewing PDFs are not using the digital signature functionality (much to my personal chagrin because the more people use digital signatures, the better my job security ) and we didn't want to bother them with an update they would never need. People already complain that there are too many updates, and we are trying to limit the irritability factor. To close the loop on this function, once the download process has been triggered the Acrobat check two more things before it does the update, 1) has it been a month since I checked and, 2) if it has been a month is there a new file to download. This way we are not pestering people with unneeded updates, or if they do need the update, at least not too often. And finally, Address Book management has to be on a per user basis. A certificate that you may elect to trust could be a certificate that the next person want to specifically keep untrusted. The Windows Certificate Store, Mac Keychain and Firefox Certificate Manager all work on a per user basis.
    That brings us to what you would like to do. The good news is you can use the Export Security Settings featrue to create a distributable file that will set the preference. The real question is how will you distribute the file, but before we get to that, here is how to create the file.
    With Acrobat closed, set the registry setting you noted in the message above
    Launch Acrobat
    Select the Advanced > Security > Export Security Settings menu item
    Click the Deselect All button on the Export Security Settings dialog
    Select the Signing Preferences Settings checkbox
    Click the OK button on the Export Security Settings dialog
    Select Signature Creation Settings and note "Allow creation of self-signed Digital IDs" is set to No
    Click the Export button on the toolbar
    Follow the on screen dialogs. You don't have to encrypt the file, but you must sign it with a certifying signature
    At this point you have the file available for distribution. You could e-mail it to your intended recipients with import instructions, or you could post if for download, or you could set the Preference the to automatically push the file from a server. To check this feature out select the Edit > Preferences menu item and then select Security from the Categories list box. You would need to select the Load security settings from a server checkbox and then set up the URL. As an aside, you can also export these settings by selecting the Automatic Update Settings checkbox on the Export Security Settings dialog noted in the bullet points above. You have a chicken and egg problem in that you have to get the users to first manually import the file in order to set up the automatic import. That I can't help you with, you're just going to have to decide what works best for you.
    Good luck,
    Steve

  • BPEL Server can not start after jazn default realm has been modified

    Hi, everyone:
    In order to customize my user task assigneeGroup, I set up a new realm in the jazn-data.xml using the shell (java -jar jazn.jar -shell). I tried to modify the jazn.xml file in %OraBPELPM%\integration\orabpel\system\appserver\oc4j\j2ee\home\config, and set the default-realm attribute to my new realm.
    After these modification, the BPEL Server can not start, the server seems to stop after loading the first two EJB.
    Does anyone ever encounter this problem? Could anyone help me?

    It appears that I had the wrong oracle home and as a result some of the steps were skipped by the Universal Installer during installation, but installation was still claimed as successful. Even by launching the 'Mobile Server Repository Wizard' manually by running 'repwizard.bat' did not provide all the necessary window boxes to provide the details such as the SID, hostname, port number. I re-installed.
    After starting the back-end database and then starting mobile server and testing in IE to see if the server was working by typing in http://<host name>:80/webtogo, I got the screen displaying mobile server.
    Many thanks for your help.

  • How to create the multi-realm (or multi-entries)in one Directory instance?

    how to create the multi-realm (or multi-entries)in one Directory instance?
    I have installed a new iplanet Directory Server 5.2 on a win2k box, named "vp.com1.com"
    When I installed this server, it helped me to create a new Directory server instance with the default realm "dc=com1,dc=com".
    I could log on console and found root node, which is "com1.com"
    expanded this root node, I got a tree as following:
    "com1.com" -> "vp.com1.com" -> "server group" -> "Directory Server(VP)"
    Then open "Direbory Server(VP)" -> click tab "Directory"
    Got a tree as following:
    vp.com1.com(389) --> dc=com1,dc=com
    o=NetscapeRoot
    Now I wanna create a new entries, which is "dc=com2,dc=com"
    How to do?
    I had checked almost all the related doc but failed to get the valuable info.
    Would you like to do me a favour? Or forward me some reference?
    Because I'm a new guy for iplanet Directory Server, would you pls me the help in detail.
    This task is very urgent for me, so really appreciate your early help!

    Look on page 87 of the Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2 Administration Guide. The section "Creating a New Root Suffix Using the Console" should give you step-by-step instructions.

  • Security settings for download

  • Your current security settings do not allow this file....

    Trying to download the latest version of iTunes and get the message "Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded." I have made no changes at all, previous to attempting to download this update and have never had a download problem previous to this. I turned off my antivirus and set my browser security to its' lowest security level; still get the same message.

    Uh...that would be a tad difficult. I'm not supposed to have it. No one is...yet. I keep in touch with a friend I worked with as a PC tech about 10 years ago at a Best Buy (while in college.) He does Beta testing, sends me odds and ends (that typically wreck my system) and this one halfway works (actually less than half the features.) But, I've escaped bad software in the past using it. Sometimes, however, it prevents good software from loading as well. That's why I have asked if anyone else reported this kind of thing.
    The name, if you can find it, is 'Illegal Opcodes Anti-Trash.' Illegal Opcode is a screen name, by the way. And, it was written using Visual Basic. That's about all I can give you; that's pretty much all I know.
    If anyone else can verify something similar to this, let me know. I could uninstall it (Anti-Trash) and try again, but I just read other peoples problems and I'm a little leary to say the least. My current version of iTunes still works fine, so why risk it.
    Thanks for the feedback,
    Bradley
