HTTP response code 403 (forbidden)

Hi, my name is Sebastiano and I'm a student.
I'm developping a Server-Client application for Web in 100% Java.
My application comunicates with a browser (Explorer) through a socket to satisfy http request.
So my application is between the browser and the web (like a proxy).
My application create an HttpUrlConnection with the URL contained in the http request getting from the browser, receive the response (the content of the url requested) from this URL and after doing some task with it, send it to browser as response.
However some site (in particular www.google.com when my application send to it a query of research) gives to my application http response code 403 (forbidden) raising an "java.io.IOException: Server returned http response code: 403 for URL ...".
There is someone who can help me ... may questions are:
Why my application get this respone code?
There is something to set in HttpUrlConnection to avoid this response?
How can I avoid this response?
Thank you very much for yuor reply,
Sebastiano.

System Landscape Directory: HTTP response code: 403 (Forbidden)

Hi,
After upgrading PI 7.1 (with local SLD) Stack06 -> Stack09 we have the following error in the runtime workbench. It seems that the connection
between PI and SLD is not working:
1) error in RWB -
Error during communication with System Landscape Directory: HTTP response code: 403 (Forbidden)
2) another error:
8 Message(s) : SLD agent unable to specify domain - Error class com.sap.aii.rwb.exceptions.BuildLandscapeException: Error during communication with System Landscape Directory: HTTP response code: 403 (Forbidden) - Attempt to create JCo connection object failed for domain domain.00.hfasapxi1 - Integration Server unable to specify a JCo client - No component names available from Integration Server - SLD agent unable to specify domain - Error class com.sap.aii.rwb.exceptions.BuildLandscapeException: Error during communication with System Landscape Directory: HTTP response code: 403 (Forbidden) - Attempt to create JCo connection object failed for domain domain.00.hfasapxi1
3) in the sld:
INFO com.sap.sld.api.builder.app.DefineHostedSystem: Communication exception in SLD ping (HTTP 403 = FORBIDDEN): http://hfasapxi1:50000/sld/cimom, namespace sld/active.
sldcheck is working and the users are not locked or not valid. All seems to be ok but I still get these errors.
Any idea ?
Dimitry Haritonov

Hi Venu,
thanks for the answer but it seems to be something else. After searching for that problem I also ran the configuration wizard->PI self registration. This activity registers all the component of the PI, unfortunately it only registered the "integration server" part without the Adapter engine, domain, RWB and etc.
Also, when I trigger the registration of the adapter engine I get the following error in the default trace:
The AdatperEngine has not been registered with the SLD due to: com.sap.aii.af.lib.sld.SLDException: Could not register AdapterFramework to SLD. Reason: Self-registration of instance af.xid.hfasapxi1 of class SAP_XIAdapterFramework failed
the reason is unknown ... any idea ?

AutoVue applet return HTTP response code: 403 for URL with chinese characte

Dear All,
When i integrate with AutoVue Server 19.3 Using AutoVue applet into my web application it returns the following exception
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://.....
when the file name have chinese characte,but when the file name have no chinese characte and all the normal
Anyone can help?
Best Regards

There are many possible causes of a 403 error. Is this error happening when launching the applet, or does the applet launch properly and the error comes up when loading the file? How do you have AutoVue integrated to your web application? Is it integrated using the AutoVue ISDK? Or are you passing filenames into the applet in a different way? Can you clarify again, does the error only occur when the user tries to open a Chinese filename?
Also, please note that AutoVue version 19.3 is no longer under Oracle Premier Support. If possible you should upgrade to the latest version of AutoVue, especially if you end up needing to log a Service Request to Oracle.

Hello,
I think we'll need more info to troubleshoot this one. Are you a current AutoVue customer or partner on maintenance? If so, please log an SR so support can investigate with you.
If not, please contact your AutoVue Account Manager and he'll set you up with a resource who can help.

MySQL Connection "HTTP Error Code 403 Forbidden"

I can't seem to connect to my MySQL database on Go Daddy. I
have the db set up for remote access and can connect just fine with
Sequel Pro. But, when I try to connect to build my application in
Dreamweaver I always get "HTTP Error Code 403 Forbidden". I've
spent a good chunk of the last 3 days banging my head against this
problem. At this point I'm thinking of dumping Dreamweaver. I
thought these things were supposed to be easy? Yes, I'm very
frustrated...
All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Pls check if your database name is already taken by someone
else on GoDaddy. GoDaddy has a policy that a database name taken on
any website hosted by them cannot be taken by another user.
If your database name was accepted by GoDaddy, see if the
first few lines of your SQL file contain code like:
DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS . . . or
CREATE DATABASE . . . or
USE . . .
If such lines are there, delete them so that the code starts
with:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS . . .
Save the SQL file and try to upload it.
Good luck!

Ive searched the forums for this same problem to no avail. We have a reverse proxy server which requires authentication to log in. Once the user logs in, then they can run our webstart app. But when I run it, I get this error in webstart: Please pay attention to the "Caused by:" section of the WRAPPED EXCEPTION tab.

Thats what that https://rptest.ca.boeing.com:443/ReverseProxy/Authentication.html is. Its the login screen. But I have already logged in! It is as if I tried to launch this app without ever logging in. Is there any way to run a web start app after you have authenticated into a server? Please help if you can, I'm really in a bind.
Thanks,

You may have logged in using your browser, but Java doesn't know that so it will need to login again.
However, there are some issues with regards to NTLM protected resources (e.g. those behind a Microsoft Proxy Server), which has apparently been fixed in 1.4.2 (meaning it didn't work with earlier versions). Perhaps this is what's happening?

Client certificate - response code: 403

Hi,
I'm hitting into a "Server returned HTTP response code: 403" when trying to access a site requiring a client cert/authentication. The site that I'm trying to access has provided me a client cert (public/private key) to use when accessing the site. The certificate is in .pfx-format. I know the cert works because if I install it in a browser (IE or Mozilla on Solaris) it works perfect to access the site. When I try to use it in my code I hit into a "Server returned HTTP response code: 403". Because the client certificate is in .pfx-format I could not use keytool to import it into a keystore so I used BouncyCastleProvider to access the .pfx file directly. Here's my code:
java.security.Provider provider =
new org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider();
java.security.Security.addProvider(provider);
System.out.print("creating secure random...");
SecureRandom secureRandom = new SecureRandom();
secureRandom.nextInt();
System.out.println("done!");
System.out.print("getting the server trust/keystore...");
KeyStore serverKeyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");
System.out.println("done!");
System.out.print("loading the servers public key...");
serverKeyStore.load(new FileInputStream("/usr/java/jre/lib/security/cacerts"),
"changeit".toCharArray() );
System.out.println("done!");
System.out.print("loading my private key...");
KeyStore clientKeyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS12", "BC");
clientKeyStore.load(
new FileInputStream("/home/mabe/clientcert.pfx" ),
"SV".toCharArray() );
System.out.println("done!");
System.out.print("initializing truststore...");
TrustManagerFactory tmf = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance( "SunX509" );
tmf.init( serverKeyStore );
System.out.println("done!");
System.out.print("initializing keystore...");
KeyManagerFactory kmf = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance( "SunX509" );
kmf.init( clientKeyStore, "".toCharArray() );
System.out.println("done!");
//print out the aliases from the client keystore, to see that we really got the cert
System.out.println("aliases in keystore:");
Enumeration e = clientKeyStore.aliases();
while(e.hasMoreElements())
System.out.println(e.nextElement());
System.out.print("getting the sslcontext...");
SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance( "TLS" );
sslContext.init( kmf.getKeyManagers(),
tmf.getTrustManagers(),
secureRandom );
System.out.println("done!");
URL myUrl =
new java.net.URL("https://bla.bla.bla");
HttpsURLConnection conn =
(javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection) myUrl.openConnection();
conn.setSSLSocketFactory(sslContext.getSocketFactory());
InputStream in = conn.getInputStream();
BufferedReader reader =
new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
String tmp = "";
while ((tmp = reader.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(tmp);
And here is the output:
creating secure random...done!
getting the keystore...done!
loading the servers public key...done!
loading my private key...done!
initializing truststore...done!
initializing keystore...done!
aliases in keystore:
57e720cd2a8b9abea9ac42c6a13aed40_67817e58-6eef-418c-93e8-bcd1b4604bb0
getting the sslcontext...done!
Boom!
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: https://bla.bla.bla.

at sun.net.www.protocol.https.HttpsURLConnectionImpl.getInputStream(DashoA6275)
at Client.<init>(Client.java:81)
at Client.main(Client.java:11)
So it seems to me that I never send the client cert to the server... or am I missing something important? The strange alias you see in the output I think is a Microsoft thing (the cert was created, I think, in a Microsoft environment). If I use KeyStore explorer (http://www.lazgosoftware.com/kse/) I can load the .pfx-file into a keystore and view it, then I se another alias.
Is there any way to find out that the client cert is being sent? I tried to understand the output from javax.net.debug=ssl, but it was to much, If you are interested I will gladly post it.
So, do you guys have any clue why this aint working? Any help would be great!
regards
Mange

Hi,
found a soloution on this forum, I imported the .pfx-keypair in Netscape and then exported (used backup in Netscape) it as a .p12-file, then it worked!

Lync 2013 Clients in Child Domain Log "The server returned HTTP status code '403 (0x193)' with text 'Forbidden'."

Hey All, I am really stumped on this one.
Environment - Is using split DNS
Forest Root Domain - Contains new Lync 2013 Server Standard, ADDS, DNS, Enterprise CA, Workstations
Clients in this domain connect and work beautifully. No errors.
Child Domain - ADDS, DNS, Workstation, Lync 2013 client
Client autodiscovers, and then asks for a password. Enter the password and this comes up...
Can't sign in to Lync, You didnt get signed in, It might be your sign-in address or logon credentials.. blah blah blah"
Client log shows
Error:
There was an error communicating with the endpoint at 'https://domainlync13srv.Domain.net/WebTicket/WebTicketService.svc'.
The server returned HTTP status code '403 (0x193)' with text 'Forbidden'.
The server understood the request, but cannot fulfill it.
As far as i can tell certificates are correctly configured with all the SAN's possible in my forest. The user is correctly set up in Lync control panel. Autodiscovery seems to be working as it should. EWS is working correctly.
Repaired client, removed cached creds, has all lync 2013 updates no dice
Thank you all!

I am an IDIOT.
I did not prepare the child domain with the LYNC setup tool. Logged on to a file server in the child domain with domain admin rights and sure enough the setup said the domain was "partial". Ran the setup and bam it all started working.

Hi
Check if the client, userid, password, and lang information are maintained in SICF transaction -> sap/xi/engine. If not do maintain it
try to take a look to SAP Note:
803145 - Received HTTP response code 503
Can you check on the server proxy R3 system, make sure all the services are activated, SICF->sap->xi->engine
This Error - HTTP_RESP_STATUS_CODE_NOT_OK Might also occur because of authorization Check sm59 HTTP destination on R3 that points to the XI integration engine
check in this blog for http errors

Hi,
this is the describtion of W3ORG:
The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated. If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the reason for the refusal in the entity. If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 404 (Not Found) can be used instead.
May contact web admin.
Regards
Matt
