How to control accessing Oracle Application Server URLs

Hey all;
I wish you are all doing okay.
I am facing a problem with OAS Oracle Application Server; Since we switched form using forms 6i to OAS 10g running on the web browser of course using a URL for each application
The question is if I give a user a single URL for the application he is using and he just change his application name for example hr by payroll he will be able to open the payroll and run reports or even editing values!
How to restrict accessing the apps to only the authorized users on Oracle Application Server 10g?!
Thank you all in advance

Hi Mohamed,
Please follow the below note:Preventing Access to URI's Via IP Address Using Mod_Rewrite (Doc ID 1306292.1)

  • Displays blank page when tried to access ORACLE Application Server Control

    Hi,
    I have successfully installed the Oracle SOA Suite using advance installation.
    But when tried to open ORACLE APPLICATION SERVER CONTROL by following the below path.
    start-> programs-> oracle-soa->ORACLE APPLICATION SERVER CONTROL, It displays a blank IE page.
    But when tried to open BPEL control or WSM control or ESB control, it takes me to the login page.
    Note: Started the SOA suite and the status of ASG component in the Start SOA page says Down.Does this affect in anyways?
    Would appreciate if anyone could throw some light on this.

    Hi All,
    I started reinstalling SOA suite and while installation, I encounter below warning.
    "A DHCP configuration was detected on this host" The installer also detected that the localhost name and network hostname differ. please resolve the networking issues by reffering the "Installing on DHCP computers" section in the installation guide."
    Note: Doing installation in the server.
    Wondering this could be the cause for displaying blank Application Server Control page.
    And here is, what it says in the installation guide.
    Note this limitation when running Oracle Application Server on DHCP computers: Oracle Application Server instances on DHCP computers cannot communicate with other instances running on other computers. For example, you cannot have OracleAS Infrastructure on one computer and a middle tier on another computer if any one of those computers uses DHCP. All the instances that need to communicate with each other need to run on the same computer. There are no limitations on clients: clients from other computers can access the instances running on the DHCP computer, as long as the client computer can resolve the DHCP computer on the network.
    The solution for this is installing loopback adapter. But the catch is, I have few webmethods running on the server. Wondering about the effects of Loop back adadpter on webmethods. Please someone throw some light.

  • How to front-end Oracle Application Server 10g with Apache 2.0

    Hello,
    I have a seperate apache tier from my oracle app tier and I want to use my compiled apache as a web front-end for oracle apps. I have a completely default configuration at the moment.
    The only documentation I have been able to find on Oracle's site is in regard to using mod_oc4j.so with Oracle HTTP server.
    Is a compiled build of apache supported with mod_oc4j?
    Where can I get the mod_oc4j.so module for apache?
    Is there any good documentation I can use for installing it?

    You mean to say, you found mod_oc4j.so module on Application Server CD ?
    It will surely be there, cos it's an Oracle supplied module.
    The Oracle HTTP Server is based on Apache 1.3 web server.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25221_04/web.1013/b25211/overview.htm#sthref12
    If you already have an Application Server 10g installation then go to:
    $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/libexecTake mod_oc4j.so, mod_rewrite.so modules from here.
    LoadModule mod_oc4j in httpd.conf file of Apache:
    LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/mod_rewrite.so
    LoadModule oc4j_module libexec/mod_oc4j.so
    Make sure to load mod_rewrite.so before mod_oc4j.
    Restart Apache.

  • How Jserv disable on Oracle Application Server9i?

  • Start Oracle Application Server in Debug mode

    We have oracle application server 10g with oc4j. How do we configure App server to start in debug mode so remote debugging from different machine can be done.
    I am new Oracle Application Sever. OC4j is java container and it starts automatical when ORacleAServer starts.
    Thanks,
    MS

    MadanShah, how did you start Oracle Application server? Let us say, you start it with opmnctl. In order to do java remote debugging with the oc4j process inside the OAS, you have to add the java remote debugging option to the "java-options" in the $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/config/opmn.xml.
    <ias-component id="OC4J">
    <process-type id="home" module-id="OC4J" status="enabled">
    <module-data>
    <category id="start-parameters">
    <data id="java-options" value="-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5050 -Xrs -server -Djava.security.policy=$ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config/java2.policy -Djava.awt.headless=true"/>
    </category>
    The "-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5050" is what I added. After starting OAS, you can connect to the oc4j process by selecting port 5050 using a java remote debugger that is included in any major IDE, like Jdeveloper. For more information, search for "remote debug" in the online help of Jdeveloper.

    I would like to know how to create a URL in Oracle Application server (LINUX) so that our application can be invoked from each and every machine in our

    You question is not so clear. Basically, after installing infrastructure and middle-tier instances, you can simple run http://localhost:port/appication from any web browser.

  • How to deploy a web service on Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2?

    Hi everyone,
    I followed the instructions of the following link to create a web service using jDeveloper 10.1.3.1.0 on Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2. [http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/jdev/obe1013jdev/10131/devdepandmanagingws/devdepandmanagingws.htm#t1]
    The web service created was deployed & used with no errors on the standalone OC4J instance.
    But my goal is to deploy my web service on Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2.
    So after several attempts, I was able to deploy it on the Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 but unfortunately I didn't know the URL needed to use the web service.
    I tried the following link (http://192.168.0.91:18100/JavaWebService-GetDates-context-root/GetDatesWSSoapHttpPort) but also didn't work :(
    I also tried converting to J2EE 1.3 and still not knowing how to access the web service.
    Please advice with a solution.
    Thanks in advance.
    Lana

    Thanks everyone for your help :)
    The problem turned out to be that Oracle application server 10.1.2 is unlike the others servers, it uses 2 ports:
    - port (19100) is dedicated for the console.
    - port (7779) is to view your applications.
    So the URL needed turned out to be "http://acteos-109.beirut.acteos:7779/beanTest" instead of "http://acteos-109.beirut.acteos:18100/beanTest"
    Hope this info is useful

  • Oracle application server control white screen problem

    Hi,
    I have installed Oracle Application server 10g. Both the infra and mid tier are running from the
    same machine.
    I am able to login to application server control from http://riysvdwh-004:7777, but
    unable to login to the application server control from http://riysvdwh-004:7778,
    i can login to portal and discoverer from the second link, but when i click on"log on to
    Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control:" i get a white page and 5-6
    pipe symbols moving at the top left of the screen and i dont get the next screen.
    I have checked the setupinfo.txt file in midtierhome/install location and found out that
    the hostname in the database connection string is different, instead of hostname riysvdwh-004
    , it is riysverp-004,
    Use only SSL connections with this Oracle Internet Directory:No
    Database Connection String: riysvdwh-004:1521:ASDBDEV.riysverp-004:ASDBDEV.riysverp-004
    Use the following URL to access the Oracle HTTP Server and the Welcome Page:
    http://riysvdwh-004:7778
    i think this could be a reason why i am unable to login from port 7778.
    Is there a way to make this work.
    would appreciate some suggestions.
    regards,

    1) Look in the $ORACLE_HOME/install directory ... ports used for the various functions such as EM are usually listed in the portlist.ini file in each Oracle Home
    2) Ask in the App Server forum. There is an assumption that questions in the Database forum are primarily focussed on Database issues. <g>

  • How to integrate Oracle Portal running on Oracle Application Server 10.1.2

    I have an Oracle Portal running on a Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.
    Portal is responsible ( along with OID ) for the users authentication and authorization.
    There is a new JEE application that was developed recently, which the Portal users must have access to.
    HOW can I put a link into a page of the Portal, that redirects the portal user to a new browser window displaying my new application?
    HOW can this new application, running in a separate weblogic 11g (10.3.5) server, automatically authenticate with the same username/password previously authenticated when the user logged into the portal?
    Any ideas?
    I´ve already thought in a bunch of ways to do it:
    - put a link into the portal with a sessionId, then when opening the new app, it automatically tries to use the same session. How can I configure this session id during the creation of the portal's page? How can I use it from the new app to use the same session?
    - put a link into the portal with a userid, then when opening the new app, it automatically tries to authenticate using a different authentication provider configurated in WL, which points to Portal´s OID. In this situation, how can I ensure that the user is already logged in and the session has not timed out?
    - Should I use OSSO?
    - Should I use OAM?
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi Murilo,
    A portletized version of your J2EE app would probably have been ideal for your purpose as it would handle both authentication (through SSO) and session information (through Portal framework as the framework can pass session information to the provider/producer). This would require changes to the application however.
    Easiest approach would be to use mod_osso to protect your J2EE application. SSO would then handle the authentication for your Portal and your J2EE application.
    Thanks,

  • How to use JavaMail 1.4 with Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4.0.0)

    Hi all,
    I'd like to know if it's possible and how to use JavaMail 1.4 with Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4.0.0), Windows version.
    With the following code, I can see that the mail.jar used by the server is the one included in the jdk installation :
    // I'm testing InternetAddress.class because I want to use commons-email-1.2.jar that requires mail.jar 1.4 (or higher) and activation.jar 1.1 (or higher)
    // and I know that inside the commons-email-1.2.jar file, I need to call the InternetAddress.validate() method that throws a java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress.validate()V if it is used with mail.jar 1.2.
    Class cls = javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress.class;
    java.security.ProtectionDomain pDomain = cls.getProtectionDomain();
    java.security.CodeSource cSource = pDomain.getCodeSource();
    java.net.URL location = cSource.getLocation();
    System.out.println(location.toString());
    This code returns : file:/C:/oracle/app/jdk/jre/lib/ext/mail.jar and this mail.jar file has an implementation version number: 1.2
    - I've tried to include my own mail.jar (1.4.2) and activation.jar (1.1.1) files in the war file that I deploy, but it doesn't work (the server still uses the same mail.jar 1.2)
    - I've tried to put the mail.jar (1.4.2) and activation.jar (1.1.1) files in the applib directory of my OC4J instance, but it doesn't work (the server still uses the same mail.jar 1.2)
    - I know that a patch exists : I've read the following document: How to Make Libraries such as mail.jar and activation.jar Swappable ? [ID 552432.1]
    This article talks about the Patch 6514136, but this patch only applies to : Oracle Containers for J2EE - Version: 10.1.3.3.0
    Can you please help me ?
    Thanks in advance for your answers,
    Laurent

    I strongly suggest to upgrade to AS 10.1.3 to get this.
    Think of future support of AS 9.0.4. You will get not critical patch updates anymore.

  • Configuring Oracle Application Server to use a user friendly url

    Hi All,
    I am having trouble configuring the apache httpd.conf file within an applicaton server to be able to use user-friendly urls for the infrastructure identity management tools server. I also need this for security reasons as well as hardware reasons - loadbalancing.
    At the moment I have a standard setup, whereby the sso application server is using port 7777. I would like the user not to enter the port, but to enter just a standard url, like http://login.<company>.com.au, so that if the user needs to modify oid using the oiddas web application, they can enter something like http://login.<company>.com.au/oiddas/ rather than http://<machine host name>:7777/oiddas/. This would also be used by portal for sso logins.
    From the standard installation, Apache was configured as follows:
    Port 7777
    Listen 7777
    ServerName <machine host name>
    DocumentRoot <root document folder>
    Now reading the documentation from the Oracle Application Server Installation notes for the Http Server, they document how to do this (in the loadbalancer section - this will eventually be used in the hardware setup):
    Port 80
    Listen 7777
    Listen 80
    # Virtual Hosts
    # This section is mandatory for URLs that are generated by
    # the PL/SQL packages of the Oracle Portal and various other components
    # These entries dictate that the server should listen on port
    # 7777, but will assert that it is using port 80, so that
    # self-referential URLs generated specify www.oracle.com:80
    # This will create URLs that are valid for the browser since
    # the browser does not directly see the host server.oracle.com.
    NameVirtualHost <machine ip>:7777
    <VirtualHost <nameofmachine>:7777>
    ServerName login.<company>.com.au
    Port 80
    </VirtualHost>
    # Since the previous virtual host entry will cause all links
    # generated by the Oracle Portal to use port 80, the server.company.com
    # server needs to listen on 80 as well since the Parallel Page
    # Engine will make connection requests to Port 80 to request the
    # portlets.
    NameVirtualHost <machine ip>:80
    <VirtualHost <nameofmachine>:80>
    ServerName login.<company>.com.au
    Port 80
    <VirtualHost>
    Note that I used slightly different names for the url's rather than the oracle names www.oracle.com and server.oracle.com
    Now after applying this, I noticed not only could I not go to the oiddas from the original machine name, but also couldnt go there from the new machine name.
    Also I was not even able to go to the standard index page whereby you can go to the enterprise manager for the application server, from either names.
    The following urls provide me with "The Page Cannot Be Displayed" error message:
    http://login.<company>.com.au:7777/
    http://<nameofmachine>:7777/
    The following urls provide me with "Page Under Construction" error message:
    http://login.<company>.com.au/
    http://<nameofmachine>/
    Could someone please tell me why this is the case, considering I am using the installation procedures Oracle has published within the Oracle Http Server Admistrators Guide (http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14007/netconf.htm#sthref379).
    Cheers
    Rodney

    Hi Rondey,
    Ik think that I can see your probleem.
    Just change the following line at your httpd.conf, then restart the component.
    First of all if the port is installed with nr. 7777. then the listen process will be on port 7778
    the second thing is just try to do the following steps
    ((Port 80 to Port 7777)))
    Listen 7778
    %%%% In loadbalancer section %%%%%%
    just add the following lines
    Listen 80
    Listen 8103
    Listen 8102
    NameVirtualHost *
    NameVirtualHost *:8103 or 80
    If you want to use this ports (8103 or 8102) for other site (url), then
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName <machine ip> or (host name)
    Hear from U,
    Regards,
    Hamdy
