Google Apps User Provisioning - Anyone integrating via Oracle? ... I am

Currently I am developing against the Google Apps - User Provisioning 2.0 API and have developed most of the API functionality in a pl/sql package (all of the methods in the API document are implemented and tested except the "retrieval" actions: user [add, edit, delete], nickname [add, delete], email list [add, delete], and email list subscriber [add, delete]).
Specifically, I am working with an educational client using SunGard HE's Banner (formerly SCT), and they'll be using Google Apps Education Edition for student email services.
Just wondering how many people out there, edu or not, are developing against the Google Apps User Provisioning API?

Grants for non-apps user to view APIs in oracle application module browser

Hi,
Im trying to make a connection with E-Business Suite using the Oracle Applications Adapter and the Enterprise Service Bus. I follow all the steps for creating the connection pools, connection data sources and connection factories using the standar apps user. After setting up the environment I can drag the oracle applications adapter to a ESB project and choose from all the modules available the especific functionality I want.
The problem comes when I try to use a user different from apps. When I try to set the connection with other user no E-Business Suite modules are display in the Adapter wizard.
Are there any specific privileges I should set up to this database user (non-apps) to give him acces to API, XML Gateways, Tables/views,Business Events, etc??.

Could you let me know the procedure/steps to assign privileges and/or responsibilities for new oracle apps userI understand this is for an application user.
when I am trying to import a journalAgain, you have to run this as an application user.
Same import is working fine with default Oracle applications 11i "APPS" user.APPS is a database user (NOT an application user). So, the Application user you want to create and assign him responsibilities has nothing to do with the database user. If you assign the same responsibilities which the other user has (the one which you use to import journals) to the new application user, then you should be able to do the task successfully.

MIT Kerberos integration via Oracle ASO for Instant Client

Is Oracle planning on adding support for the Oracle ASO module (specifically for the use of MIT Kerberos authentication) to the Oracle Instant Client?
Last time I checked (about 2 years ago) they had not, but I'm hoping they are working on it.
Update: I originally posted this back in Feb 2007, and now it's June 2007...... No replies..... Does anyone know if Oracle will add support for MIT Kerberos Authentication to the Instant Client?

I haven't seen many requests of ASO support being requested for Instant Client nor have I heard of it being included any time soon (in any Instant Client-related press). You should pose the question to Oracle support or your Oracle sales representative.

Export to Google Apps mail vs Gmail?

I think there is a plug in to export iPhoto photos to Gmail, right? I'm consider Google Apps Premium mail - anyone know if there is a similar plug in or if the Export to Gmail will work for that? Or, if not, I can drag and drop to Google Apps mail webmail?
I suppose I could just put it in Mac Mail and IMAP it so I can still do export to mail, but still would love to know if anyone knows the answer to the question.
Thx!

You can set up the Apple Mail application to use GMail and the all you have to do is select the photos you want to email and click on the Email button in the lower iPhoto toolbar.
Unless Google apps mail can be used as a POP or IMAP account you'll have to export the photos to the desktop and add them to the email via the browser.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

User Provisioning Issue in Essbase 11.1.2.2

Hi Experts,
We have done migration from 11.1.1 to 11.1.2.2 version.Everything went fine but got problem with User provisioning.
All our users provisioning are managed via Native Groups
Eg: FIJI_READ,FIJI_WRITE are the Native Groups.
What we have done is created the Native group provisioned the group with the roles and added the user to the group.
The problem is the users assigned to these groups “lose” their permissions after sometime. They do still appear to be part of the group when we check in Shared Services, but when we run a MAXL command for a user, say VIBIN:
DISPLAY USER PRIVILEGE VIBIN;
It shows the user has having none. The user doesn’t see any cubes on logging in too. From what we’ve seen so far, we can trust the MAXL command output, but not what we see in Shared Services. The user VIBIN still shows as being part of the group FIJI_READ which is provisioned with READ role for the FIJI database. This is very inconsistent behavior.
The only workaround so far is to directly provision users (i.e. bypass provisioning via Groups):
GRANT READ ON DATABASE FIJI.CONSOL TO VIBIN;
This isn’t very manageable but the ONLY option that seems to be “sticky”. Have anyone gone through this issue before? Any idea/advice?
Regards,
Naveen

I exported the Sec file from Security and when i see the content i cant see any groups which are created in Shared Services but only all the applications,databases and some of the Administrators of the applications only i can see. But normal users who are added in Shared Services to the group i cant able to see.Is there any thing wrong in it.

Naveen

Unable to move email or view some email in Mail w/ Google Apps

Using Apple's Mail application to access my Google Apps accounts via IMAP.
I'm having two problems:
1. I cannot view any email messages in any subfolder of my account when working within Mail. Everything shows fine when I log in directly through Google Apps/Gmail. Note that the "Rebuild" option under my Mailbox menu is disabled for whatever reason, so I can't try rebuilding Mail's index/database.
2. I am no longer able to move messages from my inbox to any of my subfolders. It's been this way for a couple days now.
Specifically, I get the following error...
The IMAP command “UID COPY” (to INBOX/1 - Scheduling) failed for the mailbox “INBOX” with server error: No folder INBOX/1 - Scheduling (Failure).
...which comes up when I try to move a message from the Inbox to the subfolder "1 - Scheduling".
Any thoughts or suggestions? Both of these things worked for a couple days after I first set this up last week.
So far, I'm too happy with my migration to Google Apps
Frustrated,
Dan

For anyone who's curious, I was able to fix the problem by converting my old folder structure into single-layer labels. I guess Google still chokes on mail that is stored in multiple nested/hierarchical labels because it works fine now.
So NOT a good "solution", but at least it works in all email clients now.

Mac Mail stops recieveing mail with Gmail Accounts and Google Apps

Hi,
We're having some chronic issues with our corporate Google Apps / Gmail service when used with Mac Mail. Regardless of the OSX version... when it's not one thing it's another. It's nice to see that 10.9.4 finally correctly inserts the proper, full username in the SMTP field for Google Apps users.
We still have some problems where users stop receiving mail silently in the middle of their workday. It wouldn't be such an issue, except that Mac Mail pretends nothing is wrong and suddenly the person realizes they are 3 hours behind on their emails. Magically, quitting and re-opening mail resolves the issue. Even more disturbing, is this article on apple support which lists this stupidity as the official workaround
OS X: New email messages not received until Mail is quit and reopened
I suppose one could argue that Outlook 2011's integration with gmail accounts is even worse. There's something to be said about "AirMail" being the #2 app in all the appstore currently. Clearly Apple and Google aren't putting their best foot forward to make this work.
I guess what I'm looking for is something concrete other than "Restart Mail to get mail coming in again". Is there some workaround to see the connection status to see if something is stalled?

Googles version of an IMAP system works poorly with most clients. If you are going to use it then choosing a client that works the way Google wants them too is a wise course.
Of that breed MailPlane is easily the best, AirMail is a solid second.

Inbox comes to Google Apps..

I like using Inbox and it seems like this Little part of Gmail is Getting more steam in it's system.. And is getting bigger yea.!
Here is more on Inbox Follow to Droid Life for more info:

I got an early invite months ago, but never found it to be a Gmail replacement for my needs. I don't email much nor do I receive many emails. My issue was with the archiving instead of deletion. I still have 10 invites. LOL

Google Apps Reconcilation Exception.

Hi All
I am using oim 11.1.1.5.
I want to reconcile users from Google Apps(target system) to the OIM .
I have configured the scheduler task (Google Apps User Management User Recon).When i run this scheduler iam getting the following exception.
ava.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Operation 'interface org.identityconnectors.framework.api.operations.SearchApiOp' not supported.Please tell me what more steps i need to do for executing the OOTB scheduler without exception .

Hi Bipin,
Are you calling some abstract class or interface which is not implemented? This exception comes when you are calling a class (abstract or interface) which is not implemented. Can you figure out exact peace of code in where this exception is coming from? You must be missing implementation jars.

Required Oracle FND tables for Discoverer Install (Oracle App user)

Hi does anyone know of set documentation or, via SQL Trace, which existing tables Discoverer looks for when setting up an EUL? For instance, our install requires you select the Oracle Apps User Schema and put in the password for that schema where your FND tables reside.
Assuming some are missing in our current setup, what would be required in order for Discoverer to work in conjunction with the Oracle applications roles and responsibilities, etc.
I found this list in Discoverer documentation and confirmed I know have that setup correctly with proper grants, etc.. The EUL is created but does return an error of "Table or View does not Exist" which can be passed over and you can proceed into the EUL - but there is an error upon logging into EUL.
grant select on FND_USER to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_APPLICATION to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_USER_RESPONSIBILITY to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_RESPONSIBILITY_VL to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_ORACLE_USERID to &EULOWNER
grant select on FND_DATA_GROUP_UNITS to &EULOWNER
This is Discoverer 10g and Oracle 10g database.
Thanks,
Mike

Rod,
I have confirmed that the Discoverer Administrator Responsibility has Administration, Desktop & Plus privelages.
Furthermore, the account I am trying to login as - DSCADMIN has those permissions and is assigned that responsibility as well.
It should be noted that when logging into the EUL as the DSCADMIN account, it prompts me to create a new EUL as one does not exist....however under the EUL ADMIN account (where the EUL was created), it recognizes the EUL since it is the owner.
Am I missing something further - I've been through the documentation several times and can't figure this out - I have continually made progress but then hit a speed bump each time.
It should also be noted that DSCADMIN is a database user schema account and also an Apps user as well - but this is how it was setup in our old enviornment so I wouldn't think this would make a difference.

Get error while Integrating with Oracle's Enterprise User Security

Hi,
I am trying to create an Oracle Enterprise User integrating with OVD and MS Active Directory.
I am following all the steps in Integrating with Oracle's Enterprise User Security.
In the documentation section: "Configuring Oracle Virtual Directory for the Integration"
I have applied the steps successfully until:
Update and load the entries into the Local Store Adapters by performing the following steps:
I have successfully extended the Oracle Virtual Directory schema with the loadOVD.ldif
However I am getting errors in the next step: Update realmRoot.ldif to use your namespaces
The next step states the following:
Update realmRoot.ldif to use your namespaces, including the dn, dc, o, orclsubscriberfullname,
and memberurl attributes in the file. If you have a DN mapping between Active Directory and
Oracle Virtual Directory, use the DN that you see from Oracle Virtual Directory.
The realmRoot.ldif file is located in ORACLE_VIRTUAL_DIRECTORY_HOME/eus,
where ORACLE_VIRTUAL_DIRECTORY_HOME represents the location where Oracle Virtual Directory is installed.
The realmRoot.ldif file contains core entries in the directory namespace that Enterprise User Security queries. The realmRoot.ldif file also contains the dynamic group that contains the registered Enterprise User Security databases to allow secured access to sensitive Enterprise User Security related attributes, like the user's Enterprise User Security hashed password attribute.
Load your domain root information in the realmRoot.ldif file into Oracle Virtual Directory using the following command:
ldapmodify -h Oracle_Virtual_Directory_Host –p OVD_Port -D cn=admin -w Admin_Password -v -a –f realmRoot.ldif
When I run the ldapmodify command I get the following error:
add dc:
testldap
add objectclass:
top
domain
domainDNS
adding new entry DC=testldap,DC=local
ldap_add: Operations error
ldap_add: additional info: LDAP Error 1 : null
The actual realmRoot.ldif looks like this:
# Please uncomment the following one line if you are importing this
# LDIF file via OVD Manager or OVD Server's ldapmodify tool.
#version: 1
#dn: dc=com
#dc: com
#objectclass: domain
dn: DC=testldap,DC=local
changetype: add
dc: testldap
#o: subarashii
objectclass: top
objectclass: domain
objectclass: domainDNS
#objectclass: orclSubscriber
#orclsubscriberfullname: subarashii
#orclVersion: 90400
# If your domain structure has more layers than dc=subarashii,dc=com,
# for example, it's dc=us,dc=subarashii,dc=com, you will need to load
# the following ldif entry/entries too.
# Uncomment out the following, if required.
#dn: dc=us,dc=subarashii,dc=com
#orclversion: 90400
#orclsubscriberfullname: us
#objectclass: domain
#objectclass: top
#objectclass: orclSubscriber
#dc: us
# Adding EUSDBGroup entry
# Modify the memberurl attribute and replace it with your own domain name
#dn: cn=EUSDBGROUP,dc=subarashii,dc=com
#cn: EUSDBGROUP
#memberurl:ldap:///dc=subarashii,dc=com??sub?(&(objectclass=orclService)(objectclass=orclDBServer))
#objectclass:groupofuniquenames
#objectclass:groupofurls
#objectclass:top

Did you ever get your questions answered about the realmRoot.ldif file? Did you manage to configure a successful integration of OVD with EUS? I am battling with trying to get Oracle Virtual Directory integrated with Enterprise User Security, but every step I take in Chapter 7 of the OVD manual fails in some way, and the instructions are often vague. I am not sure how to modify the realmRoot.ldif file. Is there any improved documentation on this? I have logged a Service Request, but not getting any help. Any resources or documentation you know of that provides better guidance would be much appreciated. I am way behind my schedule now and this is a very frustrating exercise.
Thanks.

IOP 11.1.2.0 integration with Shared Services (User Provisioning)

In the IOP 11.1.2.0 install guide, the Admin and Admin provisioning roles are provisioned through Shared Services.
"Provision Integrated Operational Planning Administrator and Integrated Operational Planning
Provisioning Manager roles for the Integrated Operational Planning instance to the Admin user through
Oracle's Hyperion® Shared Services Console

Google Apps Provisioning (and contacts) api

Has anyone written a .cfc to simplify the task of interacting with the Google Apps Provisioning API?
We are looking to transition over to Google Apps for our student email, and I see that libraries have been written for python, php, java, and .net but I have yet to come across a suitable interface in ColdFusion. I'd really rather not have to port that wheel from .net to CF.
-Thanks
=Nathan

Is there anything more complete?
as much as I love his (Ray Camden's) work, this cfc was last updated in 2008 and is "read only" on the google contacts api...
I need to find something that create contact groups and modify existing groups... Read Only isn't going to cut it for my purposes..
Thanks for the quick response though, it brought me to one that I hadn't found yet (even if it was incomplete, it was one I hadn't seen before)

Implementing Security For ADF Pages when integrated with Oracle APPS

Hi,
Can anyone please let me know the solution to the below problem ?
I have an ADF application that is deployed on a weblogic server. An URL is generated to access the ADF Pages.
I have created one more simple jsp (Launch.jsp) which redirects to this URL on page load.
I am using Oracle APPS where:
->I registered a form function referring to Launch.jsp
->I am referring form function in a responsibility , attaching that to a menu
->When the valid oracle user logs in, I am sending all oracle apps environment variables (User id , Responsibility id, application id ) for that session
What my issue is :
->The URL along with the parameters that I am sending from the Launch.jsp to the ADF Page is visible to the user. So, even if the Oracle APPS user has not logged in, anybody who knows the URL can access the ADF Pages.
->So, Is there any way to implement the security so as, even if anyone knows the URL of the ADF Page cannot access the ADF Pages without the valid user being logged-in through the Oracle APPS.
I am using Jdeveloper 11g.
Please let me know if you need anymore details.
Thanks in advance,
Kavitha

Please help me out if anyone has a solution to this problem.
Thanks,
Kavitha

Oracle Apps and HTML DB Integration Problems

Hi,
I have integrated Oracle Apps and HTML DB, using custom authentication schema so that HTML DB looks for APPS username and password for validation.
Also, i have created menu, responsiblity, functions, custom application etc, so that user can login from Oracle Apps login screen and then select the responsibility which will redirect to HTML DB Applications page.
My problem is, once the user clicks on the Responsbility and the function(which is nothing but HTML DB Page), it is redirecting to login page and i need to re-enter the apps user name and password again to access HTML DB applications.
Is there any way, can i redirect the user directly into my HTML DB application page, without taking him to login page of HTML DB application and also uses the APPS user name and password which he had entered in the Oracle Apps login page.
I need your help on doing the same. Please respond.
Thanks
Ram

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the quick reply. I agree with you in terms of validating the session but I haven't been able to get that to work - one of my earlier posts describes the issues I have experienced:
Authentication and SSO (non-Oracle)
I suppose my question is - is there a simple way for the APEX app to validate that there is an active Apps session cookie?
In terms of the encrypted password, what I have been trying to do was make use of the FND_WEB_SEC.VALIDATE_LOGIN method which is described in other posts and the Scott Spendolini presentation on integrating apps.
Thanks,
Stuart
