How to redirect to j_security_check without the form based authentication

Hi,
I am trying to integrate my application authentication to a backend system with the ibm websphere form based authentication. Below is the scenario:
1. when the user clicks on a protected url, the container will redirect the user to the login page.
2. instead of displaying the login page, i would like to automatically redirect the user to j_security_check action. which means that instead of displaying the login.jsp page, the user will automatically be redirected to j_security_check to perform some user authentication, and if successful, the application pages will be displayed.
The reason i want to auto redirect the user to j_security_check is because i am implementing some integration work with a backend system. the user will key in the username/password from another system. once the user is authenticated, the user information will be passed to my system. The login page of my system will not be displayed again, and by using the username value, my system will assume that the user has successfully been authenticated (authentication done by the backend system), and therefore automatically gain authorization to login into my application.
i hope that clarifies my problem.
anyone out there has any solution to my problem?
thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Darren,
Let me explain the whole authentication environment.
There are actually 2 systems in this environment. Let;s call it system A and system B.
System B is actually using the authentication mechanism that i described in my previous message.
A login page will be presented to the user (within system A). User credential is collected and passed to system A to be authenticated. System A will use its own mechanism to authenticate the user.
Once the user is authenticated, system A will pass the user ID to system B. At this point, system B will assume that the user is authenticated and grant authorization to access the application. (system B global security is enabled and implements the form based authentication mechanism) Therefore, at this point, the redirect page (so called login page) will not be displayed to the user, instead it will be automatically redirected to the j_security_check action to execute the customer Ldap Registry class. (ps : eventhough authentication is no longer needed, the flow will still go to Ldap Registry class. A check is done in the Ldap Registry class to skip the authentication, if it is not boot strap login. Only first and only time authentication is done for boot strap login).
In the case a protected url is clicked or invoked by the user directly, the application will redirect the user to the initial login of system A. Otherwise (the url link originates from system A, during the passing of user token to system B), system B will redirect to j_security_check and execute the customer Ldap Registry class.
Based on the above explained scenario, in your opinion, is there any security loopholes? consider that system B no longer perform authentication but only to grant authorization to the user.
Appreciate your advice. Thanks in advance
Anyway, i am using the ibm websphere server. :)

Form Based Authentication without login page

Hi,
i need to use form based authentication in a web page, but without a dedicated login page. So basicly every page will contain a login form in the upper right corner, so the user can login anytime in his browsing session directly from the page he's reading.
I am aware of that the form based authentication config needs a login and a error page.
I need some hints on how this could be implemented so that i dont need them directly. Im quite sure this is possible, if any of you has ideas please share them with me.
dukes are waiting ...

sorry - double posted : http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=584579&tstart=0

Form-based authentication problem with weblogic

Hi Everyone,
The following problem related to form-based authentication
was posted one week ago and no reponse. Can someone give it
a shot? One more thing is added here. When I try it on J2EE
server and do the same thing, I didn't encounter this error
message, and I am redirected to the homeage.
Thanks.

I am using weblogic5.1 and RDBMSRealm as the security realm. I am having the following problem with the form-based authentication login mechanism. Does anyone have an idea what the problem is and how to solve it?
When I login my application and logout as normal procedure, it is OK. But if I login and use the browser's BACK button to back the login page and try to login as a new user, I got the following error message,
"Form based authentication failed. Could not find session."
When I check the LOG file, it gives me the following message,
"Form based authentication failed. One of the following reasons could cause it: HTTP sessions are disabled. An old session ID was stored in the browser."
Normally, if you login and want to relogin without logout first, it supposes to direct you to the existing user session. But I don't understand why it gave me this error. I also checked my property file, it appears that the HTTP sessions are enabled as follows,
weblogic.httpd.session.enable=true

Hi...
Hehe... I actually did implement the way you implement it. My login.jsp actually checks if the user is authenticated. If yes, then it will forward it to the home page. On the other hand, I used ServletAuthentication to solve the problem mentioned by Cameron where Form Authentication Failed usually occurs for the first login attempt. I'm also getting this error occasionally. Using ServletAuthentication totally eliminates the occurence of this problem.
I'm not using j_security_check anymore. ServletAuthentication does all the works. It also uses RDBMSRealm to authenticate the user. I think the biggest disadvantage I can see when using ServletAuthentication is that the requested resource will not be returned after authentication cause the page returned after authenticating the user is actually hard coded (for my case, it's the home.jsp)
cheers...

Hi Jerson,
I tried your code this weekend, it didn't work in my case. But
I solved my specific problem other way. The idea behind my problem is that the user tries to relogin when he already logs in. Therefore, I just redirect the user into another page when he is getting the login page by htting the BACK button, rather than reauthenticate the user as the way you did.
But, I think your idea is very helpful if it could work. Problems such multiple concurrence logins can be solved by pre-processing.
In your new code, you solved the problem with a new approach. I am just wondering, do you still implement it with your login.jsp file? In other word, your action in login.jsp is still "Authenticate"? Where do you put the URL "j_security_check"?
Thanks.

Has anyone solved this problem? I've tried the example itself and the same problem occurs.

First try it redirected (raw) to see if that indeed is the problem ... then
if it works you can "fix" it the way you want.

Hi...
Thanks for your suggestion... I've actually thought of that solution. Butusing page redirection will expose the user's password. I'm thinking of
another indirection where I will redirect it to another servlet but the
password is encrypted.
What do you think?

Hello guys...
I've a solution but it doesn't work yet so I need your help. Because
one
of the reason for getting form base authentication failed is if an
authenticated user tries to login again. For example, the one mentionedby
John using the back button to go to the login page and when the user logsin
again, this error occurs.
So here's my solution
Instead of submitting the page to j_security_check, submit it to a
servlet
which will check if the user is logged in or not. If yes, invalidates its
session and forward it to j_security_check. But there's a problem in this
solution, eventhough the session.invalidate() (which actually logs theuser
out) is executed before forwarded to j_security_check, the user doesn't
immediately logged out. How did I know this, because after calling
session.invalidate, i tried calling request.RemoteUser() and it doesn't
return null. So I'm still getting the error. What I want to ask you guyis
how do I force logout before the j_security_check is called.
here's the code I did which the login.jsp actually submits to
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Authenticate extends HttpServlet {
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponseresponse)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException {
if (request.getRemoteUser() != null) {
HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
System.out.println(session.isNew());
session.invalidate();
Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
cookies.setMaxAge(0);
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/j_security_check").forward(reques
t, response);
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponseresponse)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException {
doPost(request, response);
let's help each other to solve this problem. thanks.

1. You are using a single WL instance (i.e. not clustered) on that
NT
box
and doing so without a proxy (e.g. specifying http://localhost:7001),
correct?
2. BEA will pay more attention to the problem if you upgrade to SP6.If
you don't have a reason NOT to (e.g. a particular regression), then
you
should upgrade. That will save you one go-around with support: "Hi,I
am
on SP5 and I have a problem.", "Upgrade to SP6 to see if that fixes
it.
Call back if that doesn't work."
3. Make sure that you are not doing anything special before or after
J_SECURITY_CHECK ... make sure that you have everything configuredand
done
by the book.
4. Email BEA a bug report at [email protected] ... see what they say.

It seems to me that the problem I encountered is different a little

Everytime I go through, I always get that error.
I am using weblogic5.1 and sp5 on NT4.0. Do you have any solutions

John,
I will verify that I have seen this error now (after having read
about it
here for a few months) and it had the following characteristics:
1) It was intermittent, and appeared to be self-curing
2) It was not predictable, only seemed to occur at the first
login
attempt,
and may have been timing related
3) This was on Sun Solaris on a cluster of 2 Sparc 2xx's; the
proxy
was
Apache (Stronghold)
4) After researching the newsgroups, it appears that this "bug"
may
have gone away temporarily (?) in SP5 (although Jerson Chua
<[email protected]> mentioned that he still got it in SP5)
I was able to reproduce it most often by deleting the tmpwar and
tmp_deployments directories while the cluster was not running,
then
restarting the cluster. The first login attempt would fail(roughly
90%
of
the time?) and that server instance would then be ignored by the
proxy
for a
while (60 seconds?) -- meaning that the proxy would send all
traffic,
regardless of the number of "clients", to the other server in thecluster.
As far as I can tell, it is a bug in WebLogic, and probably has
been
there
for quite a while.

Logout Functionality in Form Based Authentication Not Working Properly

Hi All,
I am using Form Based Authentication in ADF. In this I followed the following steps:-
1.Login On Page.
2.In successful login page ,copy the url
3.Click on "Logout"
4.Paste the url in login page and click enter
5.System taking me back to that page where I can perform all the actions.
But the Login operation should not happen just by entering the url. Please provide any help how to stop redirecting to my authenticated page just by typing the url. This is a big security constraint.Any Assistance to this is highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards

HttpSession session = (HttpSession)ectx.getSession(false);
session.invalidate();
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");

Ask for help with form based authentication & authorization

Hi:
I encountered the following problem when I tried the form based authentication & authorization (see the attached part of the config files, web.xml, weblogic.xml & weblogic.properties)
1. authorization seems not invoked against the rules specfied, it doesn't go the login error page as long as the user/pwd match, even though the user does not have the necessary role
in the example below, user3 should be denied to access the signin page, but seems no login error page returned, actually I never see any page / error message which complain about the authorization / access control error
2. after authenticate correctly, always get redirected to the / (context root) url, instead of the url prior the login page, for e.g., signin page
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Paul:
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Firstly let me just correct a little in the attachment I put previously, I think I missed following lines :
<auth-constraint>
<description>no description</description>
<role-name>customer</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
So, user1 & user2 are in the customer group, but user3 not, and /control/singin is protected by this security constraint, as a result, when anyone click the link to /control/singin, he was led to the login page, if he tries to login as user1 & user2, he should pass & led to original page (in this case /control/singin, and my code's logic, once /control/signin is used, means that he already login successfully & redirected to the login success page), but if he tries to login as user3, he should only pass the authentication check, but fail the authorization check, and led to login error page.
What not happen are :
1. user1 & user2 pass, but redirect to /
2. user3 also pass, because I see that debug message shows also get redirected to /, instead of login error page
(login error page will be displayed, only if I try to login as a user with either wrong userid, or wrong password)
3. one more thing I notice after I first time post the message, the container does not remember the principal, after 1. is done, not even for a while
And the similar configuration works under Tomcat 3.2.1, for all 3. mentioned above.
Any idea ?

If I understand what your trying to do, everyone should get access to the

The principal customer_group (and therefore its members) is mapped in the

I can't speak to the reason your being redirected to the document root.

Big problem :anything is accepted by form-based authentication on Jboss

Hi there
I'm new to form-based authentication. I've been stuck on this problem for one and a half day. I set up the form-based authentication(with JDBC realm) on JBoss 3.2/Tomcat 5.0. When I visit the protected area, it did ask me for password. But it accepts whatever I input and forwards the desired page, even when I input nothing and just click on submit, it allows me to go through. No error message at all. I am in desperate need for help.
Here is my configuration. The web.xml is like this

I also add the following JDBC realm definition into the server.xml which is under jboss/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat50.sar
<Realm
className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm" debug="1"
driverName="org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"
connectionURL="jdbc:mysql://myipdadress:3306/field_bak"
connectionName="plankton"
connectionPassword="plankton"
userTable="users"
userNameCol="user_name"
userCredCol="user_pass"
userRoleTable="user_roles"
roleNameCol="role_name"
/>
The JDBC realm is enclosed by the <engine> element. I checked the server log file, when the jboss server is started, it does load the mysql driver correctly and connect to mysql database fine. If I changed the IP of the mysql server to a non-existing one, then when I start jboss server, the server boot process will complain about connection to mysql faiure.
I guess maybe the server doesn't do the authentication by connecting to mysql and verify it when I submit the log in form. It seems the JDBC realm authentication is bypassed. I notice that even I get rid of the JDBC realm definition from the server.xml file, and test the web application. It behaves exactly the same way. It asks me for password but anything will go through even nothing.
Can anybody help me about this? I'm really stuck on this.
Thanks a lot!

By the way, I did create database"field_bak" and the tables for the JDBC realm verification.
I also created the users and the roles.
But it seems like Tomcat container doesn't do the JDBC realm authentication.

Issues with OSSO ,custom login module and form based authentication

Hi:
We are facing issues with OSSO (Oracle Single Sign on ),Our application use the form based
authentication and Custom login module.
Application is going in infinite loop when we we try to login using osso ,from the logs
what I got is looks like tha when we we try to login from OSSO application goes to the login
page and it gets the remote user from request so it forwards it to the home page till now
it is correct behaviour ,but after that It looks like home page find that authentication is
not done and sends it back to the login page and login page again sends it to the home as it
finds that remote user is not null.
Our web.xml form authentication entry looks like this :
<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/jsp/login.jsp</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/jsp/couldnotlogin.jsp</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>
While entry in orion-application.xml has the following entry for custom login :
<jazn provider="XML">
     <property name="custom.loginmodule.provider" value="true" />
<property name="role.mapping.dynamic" value="true" />
</jazn>
Whether If I change the authentication type to BASIC and add the following line
in orion-application.xml will solve the issue :
<jazn provider="XML">
     <property name="custom.loginmodule.provider" value="true" />
<property name="role.mapping.dynamic" value="true" />
<jazn-web-app auth-method="SSO" >
</jazn>
Any help regarding it will be appreciated .

Help is needed on form-based authentication

Hi,
form-based authentication is set up to protect OID/SSO resource. Oracle Portal is registered with OID. A reverse proxy server is in DMZ as front-end to Portal. At the new login page, after typing username/password, hit Login button, get original OID/SSO login page, typing username/password can get to Portal landing page.
The problem is that OID/SSO login page shows up after OID/SSO resource is protected by form-based authentication, it appears form-based authentication doesn't work properly with OID/SSO. At the new login page, if typing a wrong password, the page is flashed, and doesn't go to OID/SSO login page, so it seems user authentication with OAM can work.
The form-based authentication works fine to pretect a non-OSSO page and if using Basic Over LDAP scheme to protect the OID/SSO resource, the login also works fine.
Please help, thanks

It looks like the header variable (XXX_REMOTE_USER or whatever you're using) is not getting passed, so that the SSO login page appears. Given that the Basic over LDAP scheme works (I'm assuming that you simply switch schemes in the OAM Policy Domain to verify this?) the only thing I can think of is that you are setting the header variable in the authentication actions only. If this is the case, please try adding the header variable also to the Authorisation Success actions in the Policy Domain that protects /sso/auth/ and see if that makes a difference.

Reset Password In Form Based Authentication "OIM - OAM Integration" SSO

Hi All
I want to give Password Reset Option in the Form Based Authentication page for OIM-OAM SSO Application, could you please help me in that??
my SSO is working with OIM 9.1.0.2BP06 with OAM 10.1.4.2.0, and i have created Simple Form in html, for the Authnetication, Now i want Password Reset Button on Form, and will have to reset through LDAP
TA

Provide the OIM links for registration and forgot password.
If your OAM has a user store(LDAP) where OIM is provisioning, your changes will be reflected in OAM
Hope this helps,

When I share a pages document as a PDF (via e-mail) all the pictures change from the original document, most are missing with just a few of them repeated in the spots where others had been. How do I do this without the document changing?

I need to be able to send it to a PC in order to print it.

Hard to say what is happening without examining the file.
If you like click on my blue name and email me both the .pages file and the the .pdf you have made from it.

ps It would help to say what version of Pages you are using and on what you are running it. iOS or Mac and what version.

You can use any computer but your data will be lost if you have no backup.

My iPod touch isn't being recognized by my pc. The lock button on it won't work due to water damage, and a friend of mine fixed the problem by restoring it on his computer. How do I restore it without the lock button?

My iPod touch isn't being recognized by my pc. The lock button on it won't work due to water damage, and a friend of mine fixed the problem by restoring it on his computer. How do I restore it without the lock button?

first try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
next
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc

1a) Here is very useful article from PCWorld.com. The article is entitled "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" and means just what it says. The article also has links to Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder and legitimate Windows 7 ISOs from Digital River, a licensed distributor of Microsoft software. The article lists "Step 1" as;
"Find your Windows 7 product key: Typically this 25-character alphanumeric string is printed on a sticker affixed to your PC or on documentation included with your PC. Alternatively, you can use a keyfinder program such as Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder to pull your product key from the Registry. You need your product key to reinstall Windows."
1b) Using a key finder, however, is only useful if the Windows 7 product key was printed on a sticker (Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity) affixed to your PC, on documentation included with your PC, or sent via email by Microsoft. Assuming your computer came from one of the big brand computer manufacturers... HP, Sony, Dell, Gateway, etc... as most do, it uses a generic "mass activation" OEM SLP key. Trying to use this key by itself isn't going to work. This OEM SLP key needs to be mated with an OEM SLP certificate and an appropriate OEM BIOS with a proper SLIC table.
1c) Here is where ABR Beta With Windows 7 Support comes to the rescue. Follow the "How to use it" section of ABR for Windows Vista for information and instructions on how to use ABR. The steps listed for Vista apply to Windows 7 as well. Perform the "activation backup" to "backup" and save the OEM SLP key and OEM SLP certificate. Save the entire ABR folder to an external location for later use. This will allow you to pre-activate your "clean" Windows 7 install on the computer you pulled the key and certificate from.
1d) Now install Windows 7 from your new "Windows 7" disc or USB stick, following all prompts as needed. Don't enter a Windows 7 product key if request. Also, don't allow Windows to try to auto-activate. Once Windows is fully installed, run ABR "activation restore" to "restore" the previously backed up product key and certificate to the new Windows 7 install. Verify that Windows is activated, repeat "activation restore" if needed.
2) Here is another useful article, this time from SevenForums.com. This arcticle is entitled "Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7" and provides detailed steps required to backup your computer, audit current hardware and software, locate software and drivers, install and activate Windows 7, and create a Windows 7 Backup Image of your fresh install.
Good luck.
Links to additional Windows 7 SP1 "Editions" and "Languages" can be found HERE and HERE.
Link to "ei.cfg Removal Utility". The "ei.cfg Removal Utility" is a simple tool that will remove the ei.cfg from any Windows ISO disc image, thereby converting the image into a "universal disc" that will prompt the user to select an edition during setup instead of being forced to use different discs for different versions of Windows 7.

ervis,
Before formatting the hard drive you should have been able to use the HP Recovery Manager to create your recovery discs or perform a system recovery. This is provided the recovery partition wasn't already corrupt or damaged. If the "D:" HP Recovery partition is missing or damaged and you don't have a set of HP Recovery Discs, you will need to use the information in my previous post to get your computer up and running again.
The information in the document referred you to applies to several different "types" of installations;
Using ABRbeta is only needed if you have an active OEM factory SLP (system locked preactivated) installation of Windows. You use ABR to pull the factory key and certificate off the computer, to reuse it on the same computer with a clean Windows install.
If you are just installing Windows and are going to use the Windows 7 product key on the COA on the side of your computer, all you need to do is download the same version of Windows that your key is for and burn the ISO. Now install Windows answering or following all prompts as needed (except do not enter the Windows product at this time... it will be entered later). Once Windows has completely installed, enter the key and activate it. Your Windows 7 OA key should work on a SP1 install without issue.
The only thing I see that could mess things up, is the language of the install. If you are still having trouble activating Windows, please reference the ISO you download and a post a photo of your Windows COA
with the key erased or Xed out.
Please send KUDOs
Frank

How do I install apps without the app store

This is an issue not to be taken lightly. I just upgraded to Mavericks. My two favorite amateur radio apps will not launch because they did not come from the App Store. There must be a way to make them work. Come on, let's have it. Ohh, the apps: DVTool for DStar Radio operation, and echomac for amateur radio repeater connection from a Mac. These are essential amateur radio applications used in emergency radio communications ... ARES.

How to track my ipod without the serial number, how to track my ipod without the serial number

i just got my ipod stolen how do i track it without the serial number please help my parents will kill me

The serial number does not help you track it. You can't track it without Find my iPod. If you did have Find my iPod, I have no doubt the thief disabled it by now. So it's gone.
