Getting User Role in JSPProvider

Hi,
I am developing a simple News portlet which displays different news based on the role of the logged in user.
I am planning to use a simple JSPProvider that has a JSP which includes a different news jsp for each different role. Howeve, i donot know how to get the role of logged in user from the JSP. I've figured out how to get other properties (username, telephonenumber etc) but would appreciate if anybody could point me to appropriate place or give a simple example on how to get role of logged in user from the JSP of JSPProvider.
Thanks,
Apoorv

Thanks a lot Nathalie.
I think you are right. In real life, what you say is correct. But i was just playing around and wanted to do that.
Really appreciate your help.

Getting user roles/credentials? (TOMCAT web auth)

Hi all ! I need a way to retreive the roles/credentals that a user has assigned in the tomcat web auth.
I was using request.getUserPrincipal(), but that returns a string thats not really what Im looking for:
*GenericPrincipal[manusan(Gerencia,)]*
Here manusan is the user and Gerencia is the role. Is there a way to just get the role? or do I have to take split/index the string?.
Thanks!

When I was looking at this a year ago I fired off an email to the JAAS guys and the servlet guys. I don't think there's anything that will help you that's in the standards. Perhaps websphere has its own API. I ended up punting and writing my own security layer using Filters and JAAS, with the drawback that my web server security doesn't flow into the EJB tier. Good luck with your project.

How to create/get user & role in Weblogic 9.2 programmatically?

Hi,
I am new to Weblogic 9.
I need to create a web service to manage user/role in WebLogic 9.
Searching thru the web and found some classes like:
AtnSecurityMgmtHelper, AtnProviderDescription etc
Are those the correct classes to create/retrieve user & role?
If so, what jar file contains those classes and where is the jar
file?
Thanks in advance,

UniqueId while getting users,roles

hi all,
I am new to UME in portals.Can anyone give me an idea on UniqueId which we are getting when we wnat get information of particular user or role..what is that unique id? do every pcd object has its own unique id?

Hi,
Yes every object in portal has its own UniqueId.
For User and Group the UniqueId's would look like
USER.PRIVATE_DATASOURCE.un:TestUser123 and
GRUP.PRIVATE_DATASOURCE.un:Administrators
Here you can see that the first part represents the type User/Grup and second part represents the datasource, in the present example it is UME DB, then come the un which is Unique name inside this datasource, then the real Unique name (TestUser123/Administrators)
For Role and all other PCD Objects, the UniqueId is its pcd path. pcd://portal_content/.../myRoleID

Howto add user role in OID for PORTAL use from wihtin SSO SERVER plugin

Hi all,
Can someone help me with this issue:
I'm developing a custom authentication module for SSO Server. From this plugin I would like to set the roles/groups to which that user belongs, before the redirect to the Portal is done.
I'm adding the user attributes to the OID via the DirContext.modifyAttributes(..) method from within the plugin. However I don't know how to add the roles/group definition to the user entry in the OID so that Oracle Portal can show a personalized desktop when the user logs on.
Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Many thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Chris

Chris ,
Do you know how to get user role in OID? Did you fix this issue. i have same job in this point.
Thanks

Easy Question: How to identify user roles within form?

Hi folks,
I would like to display/hide button which calls static data maintenance form (from other form) based on current user roles.
If user has role "STATIC_DATA" granted then DISPLAY button (which calls static data form), else DO NOT DISPLAY it.
Any example, how to get user roles within form?
Thanks,
Tomas

I can do it with below code:
declare
l_cnt number;
begin
select count(*)
     into l_cnt
     from user_role_privs
where granted_role = 'STATIC_DATA';
if l_cnt > 0 then
        -- display it
else
     -- do not display
end if;
end;I think, above should work.
Thanks,
Tomas

You can get Roles but can you get the Role of the user

Can you display or hide items dependant on the roles of the logged in user is assigned too.
I know you can do this for the menu using menu.json
"visible": true,
"applyIf": {
"userHasRoles": ["Administrators"]
But what about for other elements inside the app. Is there a way to get the roles of the user logged in.
Is this missing as a feature or am I missing some pieces.

I just want to hide or remove a page element ie if(adminUserRole != 'Admin') {$('#element').remove}. Just some way to see the roles of the admin user that is logged. But yes early days.
On a side note BC are looking to launch the project and advertise the store on the 17th is this not a bit ahead of themselves if there is a potential that apps functionality may be reduced because of new policies, restrictions etc even if only temporarily. Once apps hit the masses this may cause some tension when people loose functions they once had.
Edit :Ok BC have already changed the date of the launch. I jumped the gun in saying this as they have it all under control.

How to get the type of user role in ISF?

We have functionality to hide all the buttons on Monitor task, which was successfully achieved by javascript. But we need to enable these buttons for only Site Administrators, so that they only can do necessary modifications upon request from end users. Can someone point me to correct direction how to get the user role when a user is not a Site Administrator. Thanks in advance.

What about having your custom ISF onload script first run a db query (on older version called a rcFetch) which would evaluate if the person loading form is a member of the site admin ou.
Here's a rough example:
ISF_onLoad()
rcFetch('Q1','Q1PL=' + UserID);
This will then run a query to validate if the person is a member of the admin ou.
SELECT * FROM DirOrganizationUnitPeople WHERE PersonID = #P1# AND OrganizationalUnitID = 1 (this should be the id of the site admin ou or the ou which you are referring to as an admin)
then have a call back to determine if any records where return, which indicate the person is a member of the site admin ou.
function Q81_DataCallback(retArray, queryList)
if (retArray['Q8500._COUNT_'] == 1)
{ *Show the fields* }
Hope this helps.

How to get the Role of the logged in User?

Hi All,
Enclosed below is the code am trying to use to get the role for a logged in portal user. But it fails
1. Due to class path errors although I have imported the necessary jar files.
2. Am unable to invoke/find getSAPUser() method or invoke the UMFactory.
Iterator rit = null;
IWDClientUser clientUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
IUser user = clientUser.getSAPUser();
rit = user.getRoles(true);
IRoleFactory rfact = UMFactory.getRoleFactory();
while (rit.hasNext()) {
String roleName = (String) rit.next();
IRole role = rfact.getRole(roleName);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setRole(role);
What could be the problem and what are the jars that need to imported as I am using EP7.0
Thanks for all your help in advance.
Best regards,
Divya

Get the role of a user in portal 6.0

Hello,
I need to get the role of a user in portal 6.0. I want to do this in one of the templates to dynamiclly size our tabs due to the fact some roles have more tabs then others.

You have to use the Identity Server SDK's to do this ..
create SSOToken and AMStore Connection object. Using that you can get the AMUser object and do getRolesDNs to the roles the user is assigned to or from AMStoreConnection you can do a getTopLevelContainers to get the orgs, roles etc assigned for the signed in user ..
take a look at the identity server samples it should be in
/install_dir/SUNWam/samples/sdk

WebCenter user role not getting propagated

Hi,
I am creating a WebCenter WSRP portlet application. I expected, after registering the application as a portlet, when I will consume it in WebCenter, the currently logged in user's name and role will be accessible. But in my case, when I am trying to check the logged in user's role using request.isUserInRole(...) method, it always return false. When I debugged the application, I saw that the user role is empty.
Can someone please help me understand, if I have to do anything to successfully propagate the logged user's role to the custom portlet application.
Just so you know, I could access the logged in user's name using request.getUserPrincipal().getName(). Please help.
Thank you,
Kanchan Upadhyay

Hi,
Yes, I am using LDAP and everything else in webcenter works fine. Just the user role is not getting propagated to my custom application developed using portlet. I have tried in taskflow also, seems like the user role is not accessible from there as well. Is there any specific way of accessing user information for custom application hosted in webcenter as portlets?
Your help is appreciated!!
Thank you,
Kanchan

     IUser user = wdUser.getSAPUser();
     String strRoleID = "", strRoleDesc = "";
     IRoleFactory iRoleFactory;
     iRoleFactory = UMFactory.getRoleFactory();
     // Get All the Roles of the User
     Iterator iteratorRoles = user.getRoles(true);//prtRequest.getUser().getRoles(true);
     // Loop through all the Roles
     while(iteratorRoles.hasNext())
          strRoleID = iteratorRoles.next().toString();
          try
               strRoleDesc = iRoleFactory.getRole(strRoleID).getDescription();
               wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Role: "+strRoleDesc);

Get user and user-roles in form based authentication

How do I get user and roles associated with the user in my bean for "form based authentication".
regards,
nirvan.

HttpServletRequest#getUserPrincipal().
This has nothing to do with JSF. Form based authentication is part of Servlet spec.
In JSF you can get the HttpServletRequest by ExternalContext#getRequest().
