Help with Web Authentication

Having a couple of issues with web authentication, and not getting much help from Cisco TAC. Basically, I'm trying to set up different login pages for each WLAN (so far I have two) with a 4402 controller running 5.1.151.
For one WLAN, I'm using the internal (default) login page with the following modifications: Cisco Logo is hidden, custom Headline and custom Message. User authentication is done through RADIUS. This works great, but every time I reboot the controller, my custom Message disappears and I get the generic Cisco message, which I don't want. When I add the custom message, I make sure to click Apply and Save Configuration.. don't know if this is a bug or not, anyone else seeing this?
For the second WLAN, because I need a different login page, I've tried using a customized downloaded login page and also an external web page.
For the external web authentication, the documentation says you don't need a pre-authentication ACL and yet without this, the redirect doesn't work. Does anyone have this working without an ACL? Also, the sample login page provided by Cisco does not work and I have no clue what code is needed for the username and password credentials to be passed on to WLC for RADIUS authentication.
As for the customized downloaded login page, I've gotten a sample page from Cisco which they've said they do not support and this page has several issues which I can't seem to get around: it redirects users to the generic welcome page (which we don't want), and does not prompt the user when they enter incorrect credentials (though I can tell the code for this is there).
So, I'm wondering if anyone has either an external or internal login page that is working properly and is willing to point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

We have had some similar issues with the controllers not telling user they have used the right username/password, but have solved it. Whether it will help or not we can let you have a copy of our login.tar file if you want, just stick your email address in a reply.
As far as I know, there is only one place to enter a re-direct page, which is in the config for the default web auth page and all web auth methods use this re-direct...that is our experience at least.

Search Help with Web Dynpro call on another system

Hi all,
I have to create a search help with web dynpro on a field but the database is on another system... How can I do?
Many Thanks in advance...

I would use a search help exit. Nothing WDA specific here, as this has been possible long before WDA came around. With a search help exit you define the search help like normal, but instead of database table or view being the source of selection, you have a function module. Within the coding of this function module you can call an RFC to read data from another system or call a web service if you need to bridge over to something that isn't ABAP based.

Is dynamic VLAN assignment supported with web-authentication?

The 7.6.130.0 WLC configuration guides says this:
"Dynamic VLAN assignment is not supported for web authentication from a controller with Access Control Server (ACS)"
How should we interpret this, exactly? Does this mean that dynamic VLAN assignment is supported with web authentication from a controller if some other RADIUS server is used (Eg: FreeRadius, ISE)?

It is not supported with any kind of radius server. The radius attributes ACS uses for pushing those settings (64,65,81) are the same for every other radius implementation. Pushing a QoS profile does work.

Problems with re authentications in a wireless with WLC working with web authentication and a radius server

Hi everyone, im having problems in a wireless network, the SSID has security layer 2 WPA, layer 3 web authentication (internal default page), and external RADIUS.
When a client makes a roaming from one AP to another one or when he has a idle time, he needs to re authenticate in the web login page. Somebody knows a solution to avoid this behavior?. Or somebody has a troubleshooting way to determine why the clients have this problems??

A few things I can share that might help .. Your actually feet on the ground will be importnat to see this issue for yourself.
I know when a client or if the AP sends a DEAUTH frame the client will need to reestablish its connection and it will 100% of the time require a new web auth. If a client loses connection while roaming and a DEAUTH is sent on either side you will get the page. If youre client isnt romaing cleanly this can be a problem.
Another problem is your using EAP. Are you using CCK or a device that supports OKC. What does your radius server say when a client roams ?
You could also simply your config and then reapply your security and see where it breaks. By this I mean. For testing, create a SSID turn off security and leave layer 3 web auth on. Roam and see what happens. If it works, then start to apply the security and see where it breaks.

Having trouble with web authentication in 5504

Hi everybody,
We´re experiencing a trouble with our Wireles LAN solution. We have a WLC 5504, a ACS 4.2 and APs 1131AG.
After deploying the solution and doing some tests we noticed when a user attempted to connect by wireless network there was too much delay since they clicked ie (internet explorer) until web authentication into WLC was shown. the delay was around 3 minutes. This issue also ocurrs despite of doing a test from my laptop that was next to one access point, then, I moved to another access point and the result was the same, a laptop problem is ruled out.
Has anybody ever had this kind of trouble? , How could I reduce this time?, is it possible?, Which part of configuration shoud I check?
Regards,
Manuel

Friends,
I´ve made a mistake. Our WLC is a 4404.

Help with web form script. PHP, CGI, Perl???

anyone willing to help with a web form script? I have a form built, but cant seem to figure out the scripting! Should I be using Perl, CGI, PHP... What do I need to enable? I am a complete novice when it comes to scripts. Looking for a little friendly help.

Here is a simple bit of PHP to stick in the page your form posts to. You would need to edit the first three variables to your liking, and add the html you want to serve afterwards:
<pre>
<?php
$emailFrom = '[email protected]';
$emailTo = '[email protected]';
$emailSubject = 'Subject';
$date = date('l, \t\h\e dS \o\f F, Y \a\t g:i A');
$browser = $HTTPSERVER_VARS['HTTP_USERAGENT'];
$hostname = $HTTPSERVER_VARS['REMOTEADDR'];
$message = "$date\n\nAddress: $hostname\nBrowser: $browser\n\n";
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
$message .= $key . ": " . $value . "\n";
$mailResult = mail($emailTo,$emailSubject,$message,"From: $emailFrom");
?>
</pre>
This script will grab the server's date and the submitter's address and browser type. It will then list the name and value of each form field you have put on your form.
Also, this script expects your form method="post".
Lastly, you can offer alternate text later on in your html page based on the success of the above script with a snippet like this:
<pre><?php
if ($mailResult) {
echo "Your comments have been received thank you.";
} else {
echo "There was an error. Please try again or contact us using an alternate method.";
?></pre>

Please help with web services (JSR 172)

Hello!
I'm in need of some help. I've only worked with web services some few weeks. I have two web services that I want to access from J2ME.
Both works nice in regular Java (J2SE). I use axis so with the help of WSDL2Java I got a working client.
One of them has four operations
    public boolean tryToLoginUser( String username, String password ) {}
    public boolean tryToLogOffUser( String username, String password ){}
    public boolean createUserAccount( String username, String password ){ }
    public boolean removeUserAccount( String username, String password ){ } The problem is when I want to use Sun's Wireless Toolkit 2.2 and create stubs that way with the Stub Generator. It complains with this
warning: Operation tryToLoginUser is of the wrong encoding SOAP style/use (rpc/encoded). Document/literal only. Skipping generation of operation.
warning: Operation tryToLogOffUser is of the wrong encoding SOAP style/use (rpc/encoded). Document/literal only. Skipping generation of operation.
warning: Operation createUserAccount is of the wrong encoding SOAP style/use (rpc/encoded). Document/literal only. Skipping generation of operation.
warning: Operation removeUserAccount is of the wrong encoding SOAP style/use (rpc/encoded). Document/literal only. Skipping generation of operation.What I can tell is I need to put this in my axis deployment descriptor
<service name="UserWebService" provider="java:RPC" style="document" use="literal">instead of this:
<service name="UserWebService" provider="java:RPC">This wont work. It don't work with HTTP GET I get this error

</soapenv:Envelope>I doesn�t work with WSDL2Java and when I run Sun's Wireless Toolkit 2.2 to generate stub it complains with

warning: ignoring operation "tryToLogOffUser": more than one part in input message
warning: ignoring operation "createUserAccount": more than one part in input message
warning: ignoring operation "removeUserAccount": more than one part in input message
warning: Port "UserWebService" does not contain any usable operationsDoes this mean I can only use one parameter for input in an operation when I use style="document" use="literal" ??
I understood it that way, so I created a new web service that takes username and password in one String.
The new web service has four operations
    public boolean tryToLoginUser( String usernameAndPassword ) {}
    public boolean tryToLogOffUser( String usernameAndPassword ){}
    public boolean createUserAccount( String usernameAndPassword ){ }
    public boolean removeUserAccount( String usernameAndPassword ){ }The problem is that I get this error when running HTTP GET.

</soapenv:Envelope>If I get a WSDL2Java client it works (!) if I manually changes the parameter names. I have four operations which all takes
String usernameAndPassword
in one String since I can only use one parameter with style="document" use="literal"
The WSDL2Java automatically set the parameter names to
usernameAndPassword
usernameAndPassword1
usernameAndPassword2
usernameAndPassword3
for the different operations. If I manually changes them to all have the name
usernameAndPassword
it works. Why doesn�t it work without manual changes? I haven�t tested the code from Sun�s Wireless Toolkit 2.2 Stub Generator yet, but that at least doesn�t give any errors .
My other web service doesn�t work either if I set style="document" use="literal".
This web service returns my own classes I have written. It works as I said previously in J2SE with WSDL2Java, but not with style="document" use="literal�. When I set this my byte[] which is returned is null when using the client from WSDL2Java, this wasn�t the case without style="document" use="literal�.
I also get an error in Sun�s Wireless Toolkit 2.2 that byte[] is not recoigniced. This wasn�t the case with axis WSDL2Java.
If I put this inside the axis deployment descriptor

So my questions are:
Do I really need style=�document� use=�literal� for J2ME?
Can I only have one parameter as input when I use style=�document� use=�literal� ?
Why do I need to manally change the parameter names?
How can I make Sun�s Wireless Toolkit 2.2 understand byte[] ?
Many thanks for help :) (I have to present a solution in 1 � week to my J2ME teacher L).

hi,
i was wandering if you manage to successfully generate the stubs through the wireless toolkit at the end? i am currently having similar problem (i.e., trying to generate stub files based on wsdl from axis)? it seems that the WTK can only handle document/literal format, and so i change the wsdl to that. however, now it complains that it can't handle more than one input part in the message, (which is similar to the problem you had). so did you manage to find a solution to that, or J2ME simply does not support more than one arguement as the input?
thanks in advance,
lee

Locally switched Guest WLAN with Web Authentication

I have a remote location that has its own internet pipe. I have set up a new guest SSID and set to switch locally and changed the AP mode to Flex connect. When I connect to the new SSID, I get an IP address from the local LAN, but the Web redirection page will not load. Is this because the local LAN does not have a route to the WLC virtual interace of 1.1.1.1? Is there a way to tunnel just the web authentication portion of traffic and locally switch everything else?

You are close in your understanding.
If you want to use the web portal services on the WLC then you need to bring that traffic back to the WLC.

Please need Help with web application deployment in Jdeveloper 12c

Hi,
I am desperate for help guys. am trying to deploy a web application in weblogic server, but nothing works!!
I created a project in jdeveloper and created a jsp page inside the project, all what i want is to run that page!
I followed the instruction here: Deploying Fusion Web Applications , I don't really know if i did it right or wrong, the document is too detailed and not understood clearly.
I am a newbie oracle user, and trying to build jsp web application connected to oracle database. application deployment fails it says: cannot run application error deploying IntegratedWeblogic..
please could you tell me the steps of application deployment in Jdeveloper 12c?
what deployment profiles I need to create (ear, war , mar)?
what deployment descriptor I need for my app to work?
please guys I am newbie to oracle, if you could give me simplified answers and straight instructions it will be appreciated .
thank you

hi Timo,
I am building a local web application, meaning the server is internal and will not connect to the web, only to local pcs via network. the application will insert/select data from the database server. My company wants to embed oracle technology on the datatabse and that what am trying to. I am not that expert in java and oracle in general, my main knowledge are in php, html and mysql programming. through my long internet research a lot has recommended jsp with html to be a good choice.
At beginning I played around with ADF faces, I found it annoying because I prefer coding than using drag and drop interfaces, which always create unwanted results.
Also am not that professional java programmer, i started learning jsp and found it easier.
What I am thinking of is to make a web based application that works in browsers (like php), this application has forms to insert data, and also has forms to output data for printing. that's all. I tried to make it in php, but through my little knowledge and internet researches it seems php does not work with oracle and java is the recommended choice (or it works with php but too complicated to make it)
any recommendation will be much appreciated
thank you

Help with Web Services

hi,
am trying to call a web service from a particular WSDL, i need to use JAX-WS 2.0 as part of this assignment am currently working on, but i just cannot put my head around it and where to start,,
would i need to just write a client that would call a specific method and pass the parameteres through it ?
would i need to use annotations ? as i was reading, you only use them if you expose the web service. All i was supplied with is a WSDL, and i need to design an interface using JFrame and call a specific service of my choice and receieve a response back.. and display it back.
Any helpful tips, suggestions, sample code ??
thanks

You can easily work with WSDL2Java class in axis.jar found from apache site
java -cp axis.jar:commons-logging.jar:commons-discovery.jar:wsdl4j.jar:jaxrpc.jar:saaj.jar org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java -va "wsdl file"
This will create a stub files for the webservice, then you work with that.

George,
You nailed it…for your XML to be valid, it must be ordered -exactly- as the request XSD describes. An XMLSchema document can be defined in such a way that the order of elements is unimportant…however, the default behavior in XMLSchema (not just in iTunes U) is to enforce order. A correct version of your request would look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ITunesUDocument>

. <AddGroup>
. . <ParentHandle>2500954087</ParentHandle>

Also, it's often okay to use conflicting settings…but unless you set security to "HTTP Basic Authentication", it's okay to omit BasicAuthUsername and BasicAuthPassword.
Hope this helps.
