How To Use HttpUnit With FORM-based Authentication?

I'm just getting started with HttpUnit, and I'm having a problem:
How does one use HttpUnit with FORM-based authentication?
I have a Web app where I specify a number of protected URLs. When a user tries to invoke one of them in a browser, Tomcat 4.1.30 brings up a login page that I specified and asks for a username and password. The values given by the user is checked against the tomcat-users.xml file. If the user is valid, Tomcat
forwards the response from the original request. If invalid, an error page is displayed. The user is considered valid until either the session times out or the browser is closed.
Does HttpUnit have to log into the app every time I run a test? How does it manage subsequent pages after login?

I don't think that's true. HttpUnit is 100% Java and based on JUnit. HttpUnit has nothing to do with Apache, AFAIK. HttpUnit is for unit testing servlets and JSPs. Apache is a Web server. It doesn't have a servlet/JSP engine, unless you bolt Tomcat on top of it.
Perhaps we're talking about two different packages. - %

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
login page since roles are not
associated with principals until after they authenticate. If I follow what
you specified in the XML files,
authenticated users user1 and user2 are members of a group called
customer_group.
The principal customer_group (and therefore its members) is mapped in the
weblogic.xml file to the role
customer.
I can't speak to the reason your being redirected to the document root.

Create a Web Service for Exchange with form based authentication ?

I want to create a Web Service in Apex that can create appointments in my exchange calendar. Exchange is offering web services for that.
When i try to create the web service reference in Apex i provide the URL and my Exchange login, but it is failing.
The exchange guys told me, that there is a ISA Server running where i need to authenticate through a form.
Does anyone know, how i can implement a webservice in Apex, when the access to the wsdl url needs login through a form ?
Or : what other types of authentication does Apex know ? What possibilities do i have ?
Thanks for answers.

Hi
Presume you've already found this information, but in case not ....
Exchange 2007 provides out of the box web services, see

As a disclaimer - neither myself of the team I work with have tried to use these web services within APEX.

Form-based authentication and JSF

I am trying to use a form-based authentication in Tomcat 6, and from what I understand the page that contains the login form can not be a JSF page.
The problem I'm having with this is that I need the client's username and password accessible from my backing bean, but I don't know how to put them there from a standard JSP.
Before all this, I had a simple login form with username/password fields that were bound to a bean, and a button that executed a bean method that would perform the login procedure, retrieve the client's data from the DB and create a Client object in the session to be accessible throughout the application. Now, I need to use container managed access control with form-based authentication, and I know how to set it up but don't know how to create the Client object if the container does all the authentication and I never even get a hold of a username/password combination let alone the rest of the client's data.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Exchange 2010 SP3 OWA with certificate based authentication

Hi,
I have a bizarre problem in my customer’s environment. Maybe someone has an idea.
Exchange 2010 with SP3, latest cumulative Update installed.
The problem I’m having is that when I enable Certificate based authentication (require client certificate option in IIS) on OWA and ECP virtual directories in conjunction with forms based authentication (this is the requirement – the user
must have a client certificate and type in username and password to log in to OWA), the result is that after the user selects the certificate he wants to use, he is logged into OWA automatically, but cannot use the website, because it’s being constantly automatically
refreshed (or redirected to itself or something like that). The behavior occurs with all users, with any browser. If client certificate is on required, forms based authentication works just fine. If I switch to “Basic Authentication” and enable client certificate
requirement, then OWA act’s as it should be – so no problems. The problem only occurs when authentication type is forms based and client certificates are required.
I have tried the exact same settings (as far as I can tell) on one other production server and one test server, and encountered no such problems.
Anyone – any ideas?

Hi McWax,
According to your description and test, I understand that all accounts cannot login OWA when select require client certificate.
Is there any error message when open OWA or login? For example, return error ”HTTP error: 403 - Forbidden”. Please post relative error for further troubleshooting.
I want to confirm which authentication methods are used for OWA, Integrated Windows authentication or Digest authentication? More details about it, for your reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb430796(v=exchg.141).aspx
If you select another authentication method, please check whether Client Certificate Mapping Authentication services is installed, and also enabled in IIS, please refer to:
http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/security/authentication/clientcertificatemappingauthentication
To prevent firewall factor, please try to sign in OWA at CAS server. Besides, I find a FAQ about certificate:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998424(v=exchg.80).aspx

Forcing specific clients or groups to use forms based authentication (FBA) instead of windows based authentication (WIA) with ADFS

Hi,
We are have a quite specific issue. The problem is most likely by design in ADFS 3.0 (running on Windows Server 2012 R2) and we are trying to find a "work-around".
Most users in the organization is using their own personal computer and everything is fine and working as expected, single sign-on (WIA) internally to Office 365 and forms based (FBA) externally (using Citrix NetScaler as reverse proxy and load
balancing with the correct rewrites to add client-ip, proxy header and URL-transformation).
The problem occurs for a few (50-100) users where they are sharing the same computer, automatically logged on to the computer using a generic AD-user (same for all of them). This AD-user they are logged on with does not have any access to Office365
and if they try to access SharePoint Online they receive an error that they can't login (from SharePoint Online, not ADFS).
We can't change this, they need to have this generic account logged on to these computers. The issue occurs when a user that has access to SharePoint Online tries to access it when logged on with a generic account.
They are not able to "switch" from the generic account in ADFS / SharePoint Online to their personal account.
The only way I've found that may work is removing IE as a WIA-capable agent and deploy a User-Agent version string specific to most users but not the generic account.
My question to you: Is there another way? Maybe when ADFS sees the generic user, it forces forms based authentication or something like that?
Best regards,
Simon

I'd go with your original workaround using the user-agent and publishing a GPO for your normal users that elects to use a user-agent string associated with Integrated Windows Auth.. for the generic accounts, I'd look at using a loopback policy that overwrites
that user agent setting, so that forms logon is preferred for that subset of users. I don't think the Netscaler here is useful in this capacity as it's a front-end proxy and you need to evaluate the AuthZ rules on the AD FS server after the request has been
proxied. The error pages in Windows Server 2012 R2 are canned as the previous poster mentioned and difficult to customize (Javascript only)...

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.
-John
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.

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?

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.

I thought that this problem will be solved on sp6 but to my
disappointment, the problem is still there. I'm also using RDBMSRealm,same
as John.

John,
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.
Peace,

Cameron,
It seems to me that the problem I encountered is different a little
from
what you have, evrn though the error message is the same eventually.
Everytime I go through, I always get that error.
I am using weblogic5.1 and sp5 on NT4.0. Do you have any solutions
to
work
around this problem? If it was a BUG as you
pointed out, is there a way we can report it to the Weblogic
technical support and let them take a look?
Thnaks.

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.

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'tunderstand
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

MOBI SSO with trusted authentication and form based authentication

Dear All,
I am trying to configure Trusted authentication based SSO FOR MOBI, here are the details:
- SAP BI 4.1 SP04
- Trusted authentication with HTTP header configurred for BI Launchpad and working fine.
Now to have SSO from Mobile, I plan to leverage the existing configuration of BI Launchpad and at Mobile level, I want to use authentication type as TRUSTED_AUTH_FORM, instead of TRUSTED_AUTH_BASIC, with the approach: Trusted authentication with HTTP header.
And
Provide our app users their X502 certs.
1. Will the above approach work ??
2. As per SAP NOTE: 2038165 - SSO using form based trusted auth gives with the SAP BI app for iOS gives error MOB00920 this does not work and is still under investigation from July last year ? So for any community member, has this been found working ??
I would appreciate your valuable inputs.
Regards,
Sarvjot Singh

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to know the difference of the SharePoint three type user authentications.
Windows claims-based authentication uses your existing Windows authentication provider (Active Directory Domain Services [AD DS]) to validate the credentials of connecting clients. Use this authentication to allow AD DS-based accounts access to SharePoint
resources. Authentication methods include NTLM, Kerberos, and Basic.
Forms-based authentication can be used against credentials that are stored in an authentication provider that is available through the ASP.NET interface
SAML token-based authentication in SharePoint 2013 requires coordination with administrators of a claims-based environment, whether it is your own internal environment or a partner environment.
There is a good article contains all the SharePoint Authentications, including how they work and how to configure.
