IBM WebSphere Portal Server, what similar products are out there?

Hello,
Our company is looking into the IBM WebSphere Portal Server package. If anyone knows anything about it, and can let me know what other products are out there that is similar, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!

Virtually every Java application server vendor is now buying into the corporate portal craze that has infected the minds of businesspeople around the world. The application server vendor crowd is fairly new to the whole portal thing, as it has been typically in the hands of individual companies who have relied on portal software as their flagship products in the past.
Plumtree and Coreport are two examples of corporate portal vendors who basically have nothing else to offer, but probably do portals better than most of the application server guys. IBM, ATG, Oracle and BEA are examples of other Java application server vendors that have fairly recently added portal frameworks and APIs as extensions to their products.
If you're looking to compare all of these, there is a wealth of information out there... you're not going to get it here. Do a bit of searching.

Will Flex 2 integrate with WebSphere Portal Server

I have a few questions in trying to argue the case for Flex 2
to a very large client:
Will Flex 2 integrate with IBM WebSphere Portal Server ?
Will Flex 2 integrate with WebSphere if not with Portal
Server ?
Does Flex comply to the JSR168 Portlet specification ?

What security products are suggested for scrubbing rootkits from a Mac? There are good articles on similar repair for PCs and it makes me want to see if I can save this machine. It's in forensic recovery right now so I myself have not done anything yet.

What security products are suggested for scrubbing rootkits from a Mac? There are good articles on similar repairs for other makes online. I would like to investigate whether a machine can be truly scrubbed or if it's best to retire it. I haven't done anything yet as it is a candidate for more extensive forensic recovery.
Also, I am not sure if various malicious spoofing and cloaking tricks (making Wi-Fi appear off when it is on, hiding unauthorized sharing/remote access, falsifying System Preferences preference panes, etc.) are resolved by a thorough drive erase or are more similar to APTs?
Finally, is there any emerging information regarding APT hiding places other than the recovery partition? I have heard mention of the EFI, for example, but it seems unproven and unlikely. Some people have also mentioned the RAM.
This is an upsetting topic to some people, including me, so I appreciate circumspect, measured responses. Thanks! And don't try to answer all my questions if you really just want to comment or answer one. All thoughts are appreciated.

Hi, Lincoln,
A straightforward question. You are correct in recognizing the difference between tentative conclusion and certainty. Here are our main reasons:
1. Incoming items noted on the console (or console sub logs) and Activity Monitor after defenses are overcome, and which are brought in by an unwelcome remote user, often have a process name and the word "kit." (Bear with me.) We soon observe the process is under attack, from terminal evidence and soon, decreased or lost functionality of the process. The terminal generally reports alteration of specific kernel behaviors. A simple example (that may or may not be accompanied by kernel changes and may simply alter permissions) is modifying Disk Utility such that key uses are unavailable. You can see how an attacker might value disabling partition views, mounting and permission repair. In retrospect, DU might not be a root alteration. I was thinking that its relation to fsck flagged it as a possible ring 0 item. I may need to know core parameters of a good example to pick strong ones.
2. Incoming folders hidden for possible later use contained bundles of similar root kits, including some not applicable to Macs. From what I have read from reasonably credible sources, root kits are sold and traded both singly and in bundles.
3. Root kits are a logical next choice for our attackers, as various prior techniques hindered us but did not paralyze us.
4. One of the most authoritative articles I found was about PCs not Macs. I noted the assertion, undocumented, that an estimated one million computers are infected by root kit manipulations, and underscored that the kits can be used by people with low computer skills.
5. MacAfee lists root kits (by description, not name) as a top pop five threat prediction in the coming year, though again, the emphasis is on PCs.
Linc, I am trying to show a spectrum of observations and info that have shaped my thinking. To retrieve better captured evidence requires significant legwork at this time, but it is something I am willing to do if you can be patient. Understand this long attack has been like a natural disaster to us.
I have not linked a few articles of interest because I forget if that's allowed. If so, I'd be glad to.
After reviewing this partial answer, you may form another hypothesis. If so, please share it. I am comfortable with my position but not clinging to it.
Thanks for your interest. Looking forward to your thoughts.
Oh, yeah: some material is out for analysis, so we should have credible opinions pretty soon. Not positive exactly when.

Configure WebSphere Portal Server to use LDAP (Oracle Internet Directory)

I did configuration for WebSphere Portal to use security with LDAP Oracle Internet Directory (OID). The script for configuring works well (WPSConfig.bat action-secure-portal-ldap)
But when i start Portal Server it cannot start successfully. I did check in log file and found a error on SystemOut.log as attachment log below. I don't know what happen with WebSphere Portal Server.
If you guys know how to fix it please let me know or point me some documents to configure this again.
Thanks in advanced.
Servlet E com.ibm.wps.engine.Servlet init EJPFD0016E: Initialization of service failed.
com.ibm.wps.ac.DomainAdministratorNotFoundException: EJPSB0107E: Exception occurred while retrieving the identity of the domain adminuser/admingroup uid=wpsadmin,cn=Users,dc=localhost,dc=com.

There is no clear documentation available to enable custom security but IBM info center has decent documentation for LDAP based security. I would say follow the steps mentioned for IBM directory and then modify the necessary configuration parameters for OID. This should solve your issues. For better help open a PMR with IBM to get necessary quick help.

IBM WebSphere App.Server 3.5 StdEd + Oracle 8i for repository ?

I want to install IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 3.5 Std
but I don't have a DB to hold the repository.
One of the possible DB mentionned in the install doc is ORACLE
8i but I have no experience whatsoever with this line of
products.
I would like to hear of people running such a config.
Any tips, do's and don't ?
Is it a stable, recommended configuration to start with ?
E.G.:
WAS 3.5 standard on Win2000
+ ORACLE 8i as a repository DB
+ AS400 serving corporate data
Thanks for your help,
Frederic.
PS - I know DB2 is another possibility but I would like to skip
that one for some reasons.

Matt :
I eventually chose to keep the InstantDB repository because
someone told me it would be fine for a small web application.
One thing I am wondering about though : IBM doc mentions Oracle
8i but on the Oracle site they mention 9i only so
- where do you find the 8i ?
- is the 9i fine too ?
- what edition is acceptable ? the cost for the personal/pro
etc. licences do vary quite a lot so which is the cheapest
acceptable one ?
I am still looking for that info.
Any hint ?
Thanks !

Standard Services in IBM Websphere Portal

Hi,
We have a requirement wherein we need to have E recruitmtnt applications in IBM Websphere Portal.I have gone through few documents and i am not clear how to move forward.Could anyone suggest some best way to achieve this.
1.If we do Integration between SAP Portal and IBM websphere, can we get E Recruitment applications in Websphere Portal.If this is the way what might be the issues we are gong to face moving forward.(As suggested through SAP iView Integration Portlet i guess)
2.As E recruitment applications we are using is completely based on ABAP Webdynpro,is it possible to display these applications directly from ECC to IBM Websphere Portal.(As every WDA is associated with an URL, can we make use of this URL in Websphere)
3.Again E recruitment Portal content needs SAP Portal because some of the functions of the roles ( like Recruiter iview , Manager Iview etc are delivered as Portal Content).Can we achieve all these without SAP Portal.
I would be great if someone suggest me the right way.
Regards,
Anil

Weblogic server with Websphere Portal server

Hi,
I am having this peculiar problem.
I am using Websphere Portal Server and accessing an application which is running
on Weblogic
6.1. I am also using struts on both the portal server and weblogic server.
The first time I access a jsp which is on weblogic from websphere portal I get
it fine.
I have button on this jsp on submit of which another jsp on weblogic should come
up.
The problem is that on click of the button the URL which is being formed is
<ip of weblogic>/<path of portal server>.
I have no clue why this is happening and its driving me crazy.
Can anyone tell me whats happening?
Thanks
Siri

Siri-
This sounds like a URL rewriting issue with whatever proxy or tool you are using
to interface from WS to WLS. Basically, for the setup to work, any URL's that
are contained in the content served up by your WLS instance will have to be rewritten
such that your WS instance knows that the request is actually intended for the
WLS server.

JSP on IBM WebSphere Application Server 3.5.4

Hi, Could pls. someone suggest what is required to be done to get a JSP working on IBM WebSphere Application Server.
This is what I have tried so far:
One of the directories on the app server is
C:\WebServer\AppServer\hosts\default_host\examples\web
When I place a JSP in the above path, it works fine (http://localhost/webapp/examples/xyz.jsp in the browser).
Question:
Where is webapp (as it appears in the URL) defined?
Then, I go on to create new directories as follows
C:\WebServer\AppServer\hosts\default_host\MyApps
C:\WebServer\AppServer\hosts\default_host\MyApps\web
Place a working JSP in C:\WebServer\AppServer\hosts\default_host\MyApps\web. And when I enter http://localhost/webapp/MyApps/xyz.jsp or http://localhost/MyApps/xyz.jsp in the browser, the JSP can't be located.
What is required to be done (from mapping point of view) and where? Does anything pertaining to JSP need to be defined on the HTTP Web Server (not for JSP's I think). Where should I put the JSP file so that everything for the application could be grouped together and it will work as well.
I have gone through other postings on this issue on this forum but they have been of little help.
Any thoughts on how to get this working.
Thanks

I use IBM Visual Age 3.5 & 4 which contains a scaled down vesion of Websphere for running servlet and JSPs. I am very familiar with the intricacies of running web apps in in this scaled down environment. What I'm about to tell you may or may not apply to WAS but it should help you.
You can't simply add a directory under default_hosts and expect a new web app to appear. Websphere only recognizes web apps that are set up properly in the servlet_engine file. Each server has it on servlet_engine file located in the properties directory. For the default server, the file is named default.servlet_engine. In that file you must add a new <webspher-webgroup> element as a child element to <websphere-servelet-host name="default_host">. I added a web app to my server and it looks like this.
<websphere-webgroup name="second_app">
       <description>The second app</description>
       <document-root>$approot$/web</document-root>
       <classpath>$approot$/servlets$psep$$server_root$/servlets</classpath>
       <root-uri>/</root-uri>
       <auto-reload enabled="true" polling-interval="3000"/>
       <shared-context>false</shared-context>
</websphere-webgroup>I can't remember if it automatically creates the directory structure for you now or not, but at any rate, this web app will be stored in c:\WebServer\AppServer\hosts\default_host\second_app with the enclosed web direrectory as your location for JSPs.
One more thing to mention. For every web-app you create, there is a descriptor file similiar to the web.xml deployment descriptor you see in /WEB-INF for the servlet 2.2+ spec. In my case the file is name second_app/servlets/second_app.web_app. In the descriptor you would probably want to configure some settings specific to your web app such as servet registration, init parameters and which version of the jsp compiler to use.
Since IBM came out with WAS 3.5 before the Servlet 2.2 spec went mainstream for Servlet Containers, WAS's configuration is quite unconventional. But, I found that the documentation that comes with WAS explained all these configuration quirks quite well.
Hope this helps
Steve

Comm. between Websphere Portal Server and EJB on WLS8.1

We are trying to get a portlet running on Websphere Portal Server 5.1 to make an RMI/IIOP call on an EJB on WebLogic Server 8.1. Currently it is failing to even establish a connection and get the initial context. Any ideas on configuring the two servers so this communication can take place?

From your description, since the agent installs file with a different JRE, I would suspect it has something to do with the availability of JCE provider in the first JRE. By default, WebSphere's JRE is equipped with IBM JCE provider which is what the agent uses to encrypt the necessary
information. If this provider is not configured correctly it could result in the error that you are seeing. Please check the WebSphere installation and make sure that the JRE used by it has the necessary IBM JCE provider configured. The java.security file for this should contain something like:
security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun
security.provider.2=com.ibm.crypto.provider.IBMJCE
security.provider.3=com.ibm.jsse.IBMJSSEProvider
security.provider.4=com.ibm.security.cert.IBMCertPath
security.provider.5=com.ibm.crypto.pkcs11.provider.IBMPKCS11
Also, make sure that when you are installing the agent you specify the Java Home as prompted by the agent to point to the location where this JRE is installed. Typically this is under WebSphere/AppServer/java directory. HTH, Jerry
