How to retrieve User Session in Xcelsius 2008

Hi
I am currently building dashboards with some securities on display. The dashboards have to show different views (e.g. Manager view with full access of data and Employee view with partial access of data) for different users, and I expect to get the user information (particularly user name) from the BO user session for making the security decision.
I can successfully retrieve the user session from Dashboard [url button] to JSP using openDocument (by looking at the cookies), but it seems that I have no way to import the data back to the Dashboard. When I am using Data Manager > XML Data (With XML datasource is a JSP file), it seems the user session cannot be retrieved.
So, my question is, how to retrieve the user Name in Xcelsius 2008 ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
we did also some research activities about Xcelsius. We are passing the user name to the Xcelsius via Webservice. Based on the portal integration, you do not have to care about the authentication to the Webservice. This does the Enterprise Portal for you. For the integration, we are currently using a BSP solution. In this way, you can get the user name very simple:
sy-uname
You can put into the Webservice or provide it as Flash Variable to the Xcelsius in the <OBJECT> tag.
Take care,
Thomas

How to handle user session in JSP.......

tell me some Debugging tech. so i can overcome from my problem.....Do you use an IDE? Any IDE ships with a decent debugger where in you can just execute the code step by step, explore the current variable values and check what exactly is happening. For example Eclipse or IntelliJ. If you don´t use an IDE, then just place some System.out.println() or Logger.debug() statements at strategic locations printing the variables of relevance so that you can track in logs what exactly is happening.
or tell any other way to find is my page is thread safe or not...Just write correct code and narrow the scope of the variables as much as possible. If you for example assigned the user object to a static variable or as a servlet´s instance variable, then exactly the same user object would be used everywhere in the application. That kind of logical things.

How to retrieve user name from a given Subject?

I am in a situation where I need to retrieve user name from the Subject that is populated when user logs in. I have the active Subject and I do following to get the principals in the subject and iterate through them:
Set principals = subject.getPrincipals();
Iterator ite = principals.iterator();
while (ite.hasNext()) {
Principal prin = (Principal)ite.next();
String name = prin.getName();
But this contains all the principals, including user name, roles, password, etc. How do I programmatically determine which one is user name?

Don't you have different principal types? I am making a jaas module and I have different principals for roles, groups etc. I think of principals as attributes, the type in the attribute name and the principal name is the attribute value.
To get all the principals of the type SomePrincipal, you can use:
Set principals = subject.getPrincipals(SomePrincipal.class)
You can also take som principal an test wether it is an instance of som type:
if (Principal p instanceof SomePrincipal){..}
An other solution which might be better if you have many different attributes is to store both attribute name and value in the name of the principal.
If "mark" is a username the principal name will be "username:mark" el.
Then it will be easy to find the username.

How to check user/session generating a lot of archivelogs?

Hi,
On a 10g database, How do i look for the user/session that is generating a lot of archivelogs?
thanks in advance,

For currently connected sessions, you could query V$SESSTAT (joining to V$STATNAME). Thus,
select s.sid, s.value
from v$sesstat s, v$statname n
where s.statistic#=n.statistic#
and n.name = 'redo size'
order by 2
/However, there are a few complications :
1. Persistent Sessions will show up with very high statistics, simply because they haven't disconnected. Many applications maintain Persistent Sessions for either of
a. Monitoring and Running User Submitted or ScheduleD Jobs (eg in Oracle EBusiness Suite or Peoplesoft)
b. Connection Pooling
2. Sessions that have already disconnected will not appear in your report.
Therefore, you'd have to "sample" sessions frequently and find the incremental redo size. Then, another complication hits you :
c. Oracle reuses Session IDs. Once a session disconnects, another connecting session may get the same SID. It wouldn't get the same SERIAL# immediately so you might want to use a combination of SID+SERIAL# from V$SESSION as your key (you'd have to add V$SESSION into your monitoring query) Even then, I wouldn't guarantee that the pair wouldn't repeat after some time, particularly with instance restarts.
You'd be better of using AUDSID from V$SESSION as that value is incremented (and not reused) by session auditing.

How to retrieve user defined attributes in Prepopulating a request dataset

Hi,
I have created couple of user defined attributes in user profile.
And I am tryting to develop a prepopulate adapter in a request dataset for a resource. I need to prepopulate request dataset based on the values of above said user defined attributes.
I tried to use tcResultSet result=UserOppsIntf.getSelfProfile(); in my pre-populate adapter but it is giving me only the following attributes and it is not giving any of my user defined attributes.
Users.Manager Key
Users.Manager Login
Users.Manager First Name
Users.Manager Last Name
Users.Password Warning Date
usr_locale
Users.Key
Users.Password Expired
Users.Middle Name
Users.User ID
Users.Password Expiration Date
Users.Status
Users.Password Warned
Users.Email
Telephone Number
Users.Display Name
usr_timezone
Users.Lock User
Users.Last Name
Users.First Name
MEMBERTYPE
If I use the code userData = usrService.getDetails("User Login", RequesterID, null); then I am getting only the following.
Display Name:
act_key:
Full Name:
usr_key:
User Login:
Last Name:
First Name:
Please let me know how to retrieve all of user defined attribute values in prepopulate adapter for a request dataset.

Use below code to get all attributes in user profile including UDF.

How to retrieve users info

does anyone Knows how to retrieve the users info.
for example if I want to create a LOV that contains the emails of all the users.
thanks in advance.

Retrieve them using and LDAP Search via DBMS_LDAP. Or you could cheat and search the ODS schema tables directly which contain all of the LDAP info. See the DS_ATTRSTORE table. Pull all attributes with a name like "mail"

CISCO ACS, How to Limit User Session ?

Hi Guys,
hope you would help me,
how to limit the user session in ACS 5.x ?
i'm aware the menu on
Access Policies >Max User Session Policy > Max Session Group Settings
i already set the global value to 1, Max Session for User in Group to 1, and Max Session for Group to 1.
so it means the user only could open 1 connect at the same time right?
the problem, it didn't works.
i had 1 ACS 5.5
2 CISCO Cisco IOS Software, 3700 Software (C3725-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M), Version 12.4(15)T13, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3)
(let's call it R1 and R2 )
i'm trying to telnet both of them at the same time, and it works ( it means the session limit didn't works, cmiiw )
i already include :
radius-server attribute 44 include-in-access-req
radius-server host 192.168.217.98 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key somekey
on the line vty :
accounting connection acs
login authentication acs
am i missing something?
also, is this feature works on tacacs+ too?
Thanks,

Dash,
You can leverage the group mapping feature where members of a certain AD group are mapped to a local group in ACS with the max sessions defined.

Which AM SDK API is used to retrieve user sessions

Please identify the Java API that I can use to retrieve the status of User Sessions.
I need to create a report that depends on users that have logged in and not timed out. These are the users listed on the Sessions tab of Access Manager web console.

Hi,
You can use getValidSessions(SSOToken, Server) API to get a list of valid SSOTokens. The token needs to be an admin token to get all the tokens. Check the javadocs for the details.

How to retrieve user custom attributes in OID programmatically

Hi,
I created a custom attribute named "location" in OID. Could someone give indication/portion of code showing how to retrieve this custom attribute "location" of a user programmatically?
For the moment, I just found sample code (using oracle.ldap.*) showing how to retrieve "uid" attribute of a user programmatically. I tried to get me inspired of this portion of code, but never succeed.
Thanks a lot for any help.

How to get user session details ?

Hello.
I can get user session details querying the "USER_AUDIT_SESSION" view against my developing database.
I have written a PL/SQL function to retrieve those session details. When I executed the function on the production database I have not got any records. It seems that the underlined view is not being refreshed in the production environment.
Is there any other view or table, available to unprivileged users, I can use to get session details such as the connection timestamp and the user action ?

Thanks for the reply.
Ok, I might check it using a non DBA user, I am not sure, though.
All the database queries have to be executed under a normal user connection.
I would like a way to get session details not using "user_audit_session".
Is there any table or view, available to a default profile user, which has session details and has records as a default behaviour?
As far as I could check disable audit_trail seems to be the normal behaviour of the clients of my application. There is no records in "user_audit_session".

How to retrieve User Description for a particular MDM User from Console ?

In my Application i have to retrieve User Descripton(a field) for the MDM Users from Console. I am using MDM Java Api 1(MDM4j) in my application. Is there any way i can retrieve MDM User Description from Console without using MDM Admin API?

Hi Namrata,
Sorry, I have a different perspective from you (I don't work with the Java API). So, you can ignore what I said about the protocols. That's lower-level than what you would care about.
The correct thing to do is to use the Admin API to get the users, as you are doing. If you have to log in twice, it might be because you're using the old Java API.
Please verify that you're using these packages:
mdm-core.jar, mdm-common.jar, mdm-protocol.jar, mdm-data.jar, mdm-admin.jar
versus the old API, which was called mdm4.jar.
Thanks,
Cleopatra

How to end user session correctly as sys or system user

Hi,
Database version Oracle 10.2.0.3
We have to end user sessions to update database content. We cant stop/shutdown the instance but we have to assure that some users are not logged on.
So we are looking for a solution to end some arbitrary user sessions as sys or system user without using the KILL USER SESSION option. We want to assure that the user sessions end correctly.
Is there a possibility or a command in Oracle 10g to end a user session correctly ?
Thanks for your assistance.

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_2013.htm#i2053602
I think DISCONNECT SESSION Clause is what you are looking for.
Let us know if this is not the case.
