Graphics in web clipping form intranet site

We have a website which is not accessible from the Internet, but is accessible from the portal servers. I am attempting to use web clipping to show a portion of this page on the portal. From the Internet, in the web clipping studio, I can see the page, but none of the graphics are appearing. If I select the page and complete the web clipping wizard, the page text renders properly in the portal, but, once again, all of the graphics show up as broken images. The graphics are png images if that matters.
My guess is that the client browser is trying to retrieve the images directly from the server rather than from the clipped web page? Anyone else experience this?
Rgds/Mark M.

Is there currently a technology that will allow the path to the image files to be rewritten so they are passed through the Portal and not direct from the server.
We have a similar environment where we have an Intranet we wish to expose via the portal, but do not wish to allow direct access to it via the internet.
Many Thanks

Safari dashboard web clips not working

When I attempt to make a web clip (on ANY site or page), nothing happens. Literally nothing. Dashboard does not open, nothing is created and nothing is added to the Dashboard items.
This has been the case with the last couple versions of Safari. I don't even know were to begin trouble shooting this issue. I did try tossing the Safari and Dashboard pref files. No change. That's all I can think of doing... Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks!

HI,
Reset Safari. From the Menu Bar, click Safari/Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset. Restart Safari and see if that helps.
If that doesn't help... Check Web Clip widgets
If you made Web Clip widgets, the webpage that it is the source of a clipping might be causing Safari to unexpectedly quit or Dashboard to no function as it should. Go into Dashboard and remove any web clip widgets. Then, if you can access the original website, re-create the widgets and see if the issue persists.

Our company has an Intranet site which is accessed on the web. it is an https site. Since FF upgraded to v23 it keeps asking for permission every time the si

Our company's https Intranet site worked OK with FF 22. With v23 a small drop down box keeps appearing every time we go to a different page on the site. It asks for permission to load the page. With constant use this is extremely irritating. There is no option to allow the site. What's the fix or should I go back to IE which had its own set of stupid questions.

hello, for details on why this blocking mechanism was introduced in firefox please refer to [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]].
if you'd like to generally turn of mixed content blocking nevertheless, enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''security.mixed_content.block_active_content'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false'''.

Problem with Web Clipping and External Application

When I use Web clipping with INLINE rendering on usual sites I can move under links, not leaving a portal.
But if I try to make it via the self-made provider with External Application then links do not work.
I press them and it appear in the same place!
Authorization via External Application passes successfully, that is the page is displayed correctly.
But links do not work.
In what there can be a problem?
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)

In order to prevent some urls and internal websites from being cached use url bypassing. This way these urls will not be cached and the users can directly use them without being asked to log in.
To enable transparent error handling and dynamic authentication bypass, and to configure static bypass lists, use the bypass global configuration command. To disable the bypass feature, use the no form of the command.

Partner application and web clipping.

Hi All,
I am trying to add an external application (say my.yahoo.com) to a webclipping and its throwing the below error in the application log.
WC-517 : SSL handshake failed with the url ...
I have checked the file ca-bundle.crt and the certificates are in place. Does anybody know how to go about debugging this problem as I am quite new to portals and at my wits end to solve it.
Also I would be greatful if anybody can suggest me the steps on adding an Apex application configured as partner application with SSO authentication to a web clipping.There seems to be little or no-documentation at all in this regard(as far as my search goes).
Thanks in advance
-Venkat

I finally got it working by VERY CAREFULLY reading the instructions in the install.txt document in the SSO SDK package. You have to set up the partner application with a new schema in the login server database, and run the regapp.sql script AFTER editing it to insert data from the Login Server Partner Application admin screen. After you register the partner app in Portal, it gives you some info (site token, listener token, encryption key, etc). You have to MANUALLY copy these and paste them into the regapp.sql script, then run the script in the partner app schema. Make sure you don't confuse capital I with numeral 1 (like I did, since Oracle so nicely uses a non-serif font where you can not tell the difference).
Also make sure you copy the exact values for these parameters into your code when you use the SSOEnabler class. The listener token was very confusing since different documents appear to disagree on whether it should include the partner app name or not. It does require the partner app name:
app-name:hostname:port
hostname and port are for the web server that is handling http requests for the login server (usually your main portal web server).

Web Clipping portlet and https

We have an external ASP application that requires HTTPS authentication. We want to pull the application into portal via a Web Clipping portlet.
However when we try start up web clipping studio with the https url we get the following error:
'WCS-517 -- SSL handshake failed for HTTPS connection to URL https://icwwwd.cc.ic.ac.uk/spectrum/ict/services/software/shop/downloads/SoftwareShop.asp by method get'
My questions are:
1. Is it possible to use the web clipping portlet to access a secure page?
2. If so does anyone know why we are getting this error?
3. Assuming we can, how do we get portal to automatically log on to the application via https so users do not have to login twice i.e. once into portal and once into the asp application?
Thanks

Here is a more complete answer, cut and paste from the Oracle9iAS Portal Web Clipping Portlet Users and Administrators Guide at
http://portalcenter.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/DOCTEAM/WEBCLIPPING/WEBCLIPV9025.PDF
5.3 Configuring Security
When a user navigates to a secure site, the Web site typically returns a
certificate identifying itself to the user when giving secure information. If
the user accepts the certificate, the certificate is placed into the list of trusted
certificates of the browser so that a secure channel can be opened between
the browser and that server. Like aWeb browser, theWeb Clipping Provider
behaves as an HTTP client to external Web sites. In order for the Web
Clipping Provider to keep track of trusted sites, it makes use of a file that
stores the certificates of those sites, namely the ca-bundle.crt file.
The shipped ca-bundle.txt is an exported version of the trusted server
certificate file from OracleWallet Manager (OWM). The default trusted
server certificate in OWM does not cover all possible server certificates that
exist on theWeb. For this reason, when a user navigates to a secure server
using HTTPS, the user may get an "SSL Hand-shake failed" exception in the
Web Clipping Studio. To solve this problem, the ca-bundle.crt file
needs to be augmented with new trusted sites that are visited. As a Portal
Administrator, you must do the following to extend the shipped
ca-bundle.crt file:
1. Use a browser (preferably Internet Explorer) to download the root
server certificate from each external HTTPSWeb site in BASE64 format
that is visited, and is missing from the trusted certificate file.
2. Use Oracle Wallet Manager (OWM) to import each certificate.
3. Export the trusted server certificates into a file and replace the
ca-bundle.crt file with that file.
For more information about Oracle Wallet Manager, see Chapter 17 "Using
Oracle Wallet Manager" in Oracle Advanced Security Administrators Guide in
the Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2) documentation section on the Oracle
Technology Network (OTN) (http://otn.oracle.com).
=============
So, if you have another certificate authority that you need to add, i.e., DOD certs, etc., you must follow the instructions above.

Either the login information is not correct (it explains it should not be domain\username but just username) or the authentication format from your Microsoft proxy server (Kerberos?) is not compatible with the Web Clipping portlet. You might get a better reply in the Portal forum about supported proxy authentication methods for the WebClipping portlet.

Issue with Internet facing site and Intranet sites

Hello All,
I have migrated the SP2013 environment using database attach method for our intranet site. We also working on the
SP2013 Internet facing site using the same content database as Internet site.
When I extended the web application for Internet facing site, zone to
Internet and these are the URLs: The Intranet website URL is
https://intranet.contoso.com/SitePages/home.aspx (Root Site) and
SP2013 Internet facing site http://contoso.com (not a root site and publishing site template)
However, I found on the http://contoso.com users can still access the
http://contoso.com/SitePages/home with same content as Intranet.
After done some Google search, bloggers mentioned to have move https://intranet.contoso.com/SitePages/home.aspx to another site collection so that Internet facing site can exist root site.
Can 2 we have to two root sites in same web application? I need the content database to be same so that managers can check
Internet facing site and after signing into SP2013, redirects to
Internet site.
Which is the best option to achieve this with same content database.
Please advice.
Regards,
Aroh
Aroh Shukla

Business Requirement:
Content Managers want to control internal Internet site (https://intranet.contoso.com) (with default zone, port 443, Root site) and also want to have SP2013 Internet site (with Internet zone
http://www.contoso.com (not a root site and publishing site template)), Anonymous access at Web Application level. I configured the site architecture
to have intranet zone as default zone and extended Web Application for Internet facing site with Anonymous site. This the current site architecture
Because content managers do not want to duplicate public site (Internet facing site) with will be shared with some lists that are stored in intranet site.
For e.g. a sub site named “News and Events” will be shared with Public site as well as Internet users. Therefore, if a manger wants to update a list in the public site, it should reflect in intranet site as well. Thus, managers
don’t want to have separate database but same content database.
Problem:
I have extended web application to have different Internet zone, the site URL looks this: http://www.contoso.com/sites/public with publishing template and Anonymous access. Managers want to have public site URL to be just
http://www.contoso.com and not   http://www.contoso.com/SitePages/Home.aspx. As I am using path based site collection for extending site collection, I am
getting this URL http://www.contoso.com/SitePages/Home.aspx
We also tried host named site collection, but it does not provide anonymous access and keep on asking for user credentials.
Q1: We want to have Intranet and Public site with same content database as per business requirements, Shall I following link       http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/81172/moving-content-db-for-a-site-collection-to-another-db-server?
Q2: Because I am constrained that I don’t want to have separate web application, (I know, its not regular requirement), how could achieve this requirements?
Q3: Do have to completely re-design web site architecture, with
www.contoso.com as main web application, then copy Intranet site collection and move this to
www.contoso.com/intranet using
Move-SPSite command
Any kind of pointer and help will be highly appreciated as I am struggling for 2 weeks to solve this.

How to Connect My Intranet Site to the Office's Server

Hi,
My boss recently wanted me to create an "intranet" site for the office. it bascially is supposed to be a one webpage with llinks to different folders on the server for greater ease for the sales reps. What are the steps to link the buttons on my page to these folders on the server?
i can link buttons to folders on my desktop, but not the folders on my desktop that are connected to the server.
Thanks,
Matt

I used the path you suggested and was directed to a screen saying I was not authorized to view the page. So I'm assuming it's a matter of my web admin granting the intranet i created access to these links?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi,
Are you using proxy server? if yes you have to configure it, or it is problem with your provider.xml file. Can you past the code from provider.xml related to proxy setting?
I have resolved this issue by follow following technique, Look this code from provider.xml
<proxyInfo class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.ProxyInformation">

<proxyUseAuth></proxyUseAuth>
<proxyType></proxyType>
<proxyRealm></proxyRealm>
<proxyUseGlobal></proxyUseGlobal>
<proxyUser></proxyUser>
</proxyInfo>
commented first three tags and removed value from remaining tags.
Just try with that, Hope this will solve your problem

How do I stop Quicktime grabbing my web clips?

I recently installed Web Clips as part of Google Desktop and began receiving feeds to download podcasts - so far so good. When I click on the daily podcast, Mozilla pops up a box asking me if I want to save or open the file (and with what application). I click to save it on the Desktop then copy the file to my PDA for listening later. Perfect! BUT then I wanted to buy an MP3 album which I could only find on iTunes, so I had to install iTunes to visit the iTunes store. I didn't ASK for Quicktime, but that downloaded, too. Now, when I click on my podcast in WebClips, the Quicktime logo briefly appears and something similar to a new browser window opens, with a graphic like you get in Quicktime/Media Player to show where you're at in the clip (but no other settings). There's no way to get rid of this or to save the file. I've tried going into Quicktime and iTunes and unchecking any box that would make it act as the default for just about everything but it still persists in grabbing the podcast. The only way I can stop it is to completely uninstall Quicktime AND iTunes - so I'm back to not being able to use the iTunes store again. I thought only Microsoft was capable of this 'you-have-to-use- our-product-or-else' arrogance.

Yes, I deleted all the websites and reset everything to "ask" except p2p which I turned off.
Whenever I first go to any page with flash content (from reboot) my webcam becomes powered - note I don't mean that it is actually recording but of course there's no way you can tell that when the light comes on.
This phenomenon only started with the current flash update.

Why can't I launch another app using a URL scheme in a web clip set up through Configurator with the "full screen app" option selected?

My company uses web clips on iOS devices, set up through profiles on Configurator, for EVERYTHING. Most of these web clips have a transfer function on the site that allows the user to bring up other apps, like directions to a destination in Google Maps for instance (a URL scheme.) If the option for the web clip to appear as a "full screen app" is selected in Configurator (or iPhone Configuration Utility), this fuction does not work on devices that are running iOS 7. It is imparative to our company that the web clips be full page so there is no address bar, back button, etc. for the users to access. With this feature not working, I have 50+ iOS devices that are usless to us.
iOS 6 Device --> Configurator 1.3 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 6 Device --> Configurator 1.4 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 6 Device --> iPhone Configuration Utility --> Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.3 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> DOESN'T WORK
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.4 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> DOESN'T WORK
iOS 7 Device --> iPhone Configuration Utility --> Full Screen Web Clip --> DOESN'T WORK
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.3 --> NOT Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.4 --> NOT Full Screen Web Clip--> WORKS
iOS 7 Device --> iPhone Configuration Utility --> NOT Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
Somebody, please help!

Phil, I have been trying to figure out a solution to this problem since iOS 7 came out. In hindsight, I should have downloaded the beta versions of the iOS so I would have had even more time. I have talked with quite a few different developers and up until today it was a consensus that this was a "feature" of iOS in an attempt by Apple to diminish the use of webapps. Now most of these people wouldn't be considered apple apologists by any stretch, which could have contributed to their pessimism. That being said, today I finally received some news that could give us a glimmer of hope. I spent almost 2 hours on the phone today being sent "up the ladder" until I think I found the right person to help (I'm not complaining; I was surprised at how competent and helpful each person that I spoke with was, and I didn't have to explain the situation over and over again.) I think what took so long finding the right person to speak with was that this isn't an issue that any type of troubleshooting would fix. It's not an iPad, iPhone, or even an Apple Configurator issue; it's actually a bug in iOS 7. Anyways, the senior engineer that I spoke with reassured me, very adamantly, that this was not a feature of the new operating system and most definitely a bug. He said that they take webapps very seriously and are actually looking for ways to improve how webapps work on iOS devices and how they are used with Mobile Device Management software, like Configurator. I was a little concerned that he said this was the first he or anyone on his team has heard about this problem, but he did work extensively with me today and said that it looks to be a major issue, and something that he and his team are going to try to figure out as soon as possible. He said he would be calling me by Tuesday with information on how and when this will be fixed. Jon

Error in developing web clipping portlets

hi,
I am using Oracle Portal 9.0.4 and trying to make a web clipping portlet.I created a page group, Created a standard page in it, Then added a web clipping portlet into it.Then, i clicked the edit defaults button, and in the URL Location field, I gave the site i want to be published.
Then I clicked the start button, the page is displayed, but the links in the page are not working.
After that, I clicked the "section" button, but it is giving the error "This product requires use of a browser that supports JavaScript 1.2, and that you run with scripting enabled".(I am using IE 5.0.2920.0).
After that, I clciked the select button, and clicked ok.Now, The portlet is there in the page, but it has no body! I mean, we can see only the blue heading which displays its name and cutumization links.
If anybody got similar error, or know how to fix this one, please help..
Regards,
Vidya

hi,
why dont you give a try with IE 6.0. also your PDK and IAS versions may be incompatible. check the versions of each. PDK(90262) should be deployed. if you can not solve the problem undeploy the old portalTools.ear file and deploy again. it seems weird but it is works (some files may not be loaded in the deployments, you can check them in the deployed OC4J_Instance)

Hi...
Its better to create the Exchange Rates in a Data Form than in an Data Grid, so that you can easily Import and Export the form and even can feed the values easily....
Select the POV like in Scenario-Actual,Year-Your particular year,Period-In Period Dimension do not choose any option so that it can be selected in Columns and Rows,View--the same as Period Dimension,Entity-[None],Value-<Entity Currency>,Account-Do Not select ,ICP- [ICP None],Custom 1-[None], Custom 2-[None], Custom 3-[None], Custom 4-[None]...
In Columns Select Scenario -Actual,Period-{[Fourth Generation]},Currency-#USD(Default Currency)
In Rows Select-Account-A#AVGRATE,View-w#Periodic,Currency-C2#EUR
A#AVGRATE.w#Periodic.C2#CFA and so on for rest of the currencies....
and same in the below rows for the Closing Rates---- A#CLORATE.w#Periodic.C2#EUR
A#CLORATE.w#Periodic.C2#CFA
This might help you.....
