IDX LDAP web-console and sso framework

For anyone that is intersted, or is doing a fair amount of development work with directory servers... I have finally finished a product that allows anyone to connect to Active Directory and OS X Open Directory servers via web console and integrate external applications very quickly.
http://www.authentisoft.com/products/idx/
The product runs on just about any J2EE server or database.

Hello,
this should be asked on one from
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home as the problem belongs to programming and not working within the forums where this page is for.
Thank you for understanding.

What is difference between Web Console and Web SAPConsole

Hello,
What is the difference between Web Console and Web SAPConsole.
Thanks,
Milind M.

Hello Milind,
I am not sure that there is any difference between Web console and Web SAP Console.
But of course, there is a lot difference between SAP Console and SAP Webconsole.
Using SAP console you can use mobile data entery with Character support where as with the help of SAP webconsole you can use web supported mobile data entry in which you can use touch screen device.
Hope this helps.

How can I use web-console and element inspector simultaneously in Firefox 20+ as I could in Firefox 19-?

Yes, new web-developer all-in-one tools are total mess.
I didn't find the answer to this question either https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/955612 but downgrade to Firefox 19.
But nor in Nightly, nor in Aurora, nor in Firefox Beta, nor in Firefox 20.0 I can use simultaneously web-console (where I test some style changing javascript code) and element inspector (where I instantly observe a reaction to my code). The only option I see is to switch every three seconds between them. How can I fix this except downgrading?

You can consider to use the DOM Inspector extension instead of the built-in Inspector.

Orchestrator 2012 SP1 Update Rollup 2 - Runbooks missing in web console and designer after moving to new folders

I've run across an interesting problem. After applying SP1 update rollup 2, I decided to re-organize my runbooks by placing them in a new folder naming structure.
I created the new folder structure under the runbook server in the runbook designer. I then right clicked and moved the runbooks to their new location. Everything was fine until windows updates were applied (Windows 2012) and the server was restarted.
After the restart, the runbooks are missing from both the designer and the web console.
I saw posts about truncating the Authorization Cache. I did that (see below) but that has not resolved my issue.
TRUNCATE TABLE [Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestrator.Internal].AuthorizationCache
EXEC [Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestrator.Maintenance].EnqueueRecurrentTask 'ClearAuthorizationCache'
EXEC [Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestrator.Maintenance].EnqueueRecurrentTask 'Statistics'
Not all the runbooks are missing. Some are visible. However, if I view the runbooks via SQL by querying Orchestrator.dbo.Policies, I see all of the runbooks. They just all don't show up in the designer.
SELECT * FROM [Orchestrator].[dbo].[POLICIES] Order by Name
The ones that are missing are always the same when the web console or designer is run (designer ran with and without elevated permissions).
Has anyone else seen this behavior? How do I get the runbooks to show back up in the correct folders? Or, how can I get them to show up anywhere so I can move them to the appropriate location?
Thank you
Ted

Hi Ted,
sometimes seen similar.
It's not supported to manipulate the Orchestrator DB with SQL, but I know only to fix it with SQL statements.
All information below without warranty!
There's a column named Deleted in table Policies. Look with your select statement above if the Runbooks have the deleted flag. If yes, update it to 0.
But, I guess not. I think the previous containing folder has the deleted flag (table folders) and the Runbooks have still this folder as ParentID.
SELECT POLICIES.Name AS RunbookName, FOLDERS.Name AS FolderName, FOLDERS.Deleted AS FolderDeleted
FROM POLICIES INNER JOIN
FOLDERS ON POLICIES.ParentID = FOLDERS.UniqueID
WHERE POLICIES.Name = 'Name of one Runbook'
If so, change the deleted flag from the containing Folder:
UPDATE FOLDERS
SET Deleted = 0
FROM POLICIES INNER JOIN
FOLDERS ON POLICIES.ParentID = FOLDERS.UniqueID
WHERE (POLICIES.Name = 'Name of one Runbook')
after that Restart Management Service and Refresh view in Runbook Designer
Good luck!

FAIL TO CONNECT TO OID SELF SERVICE CONSOLE AND SSO

Since a server crash on 29 Dec I have been unable to connect to OID Self Service Console or login with SSO (even though EM says both are up). When the mid-tier went down http server, portal and webcache would not start due to all three looking for wrong wallet location.

Java web application and SSO in Portal

I have successfuly deployed an EAR file(Servlet/JSP) to my OC4J. In my deployment descriptor, I have added security-constraints tag to implement authenticaion using LDAP. In the process of deploying, I have also specified the LDAP associated to my OC4J as my user manager. This in effect adds up a jazn auth method=sso in orion-application.xml after deployment.
My application, when accessed independently as http://hostname:port/app/index.jsp, is working fine. Login page pops up when the user hasn't logged in yet and redirects to index.jsp when authenticated.
however, when I added this exact link to oracle portal so that everytime a user logs into the portal, he/she will be automatically logged-in to my application, it turns out that it isn't recognizing the logged user and keeps flashing an page cannot be accessed error.
Any idea what to do with this?

have you tried a javascript forum?

DA view in console / web console looks differently.

1) Create DA (PIC1)
2) Create custom DA diagram view
3) Open Diagram View in console (PIC2), open Diagram View in Web Console and it looks differently. Why ?

Hi,
This seems like a normal behaviour, after creating the DA view, you can click View diagram under the Tasks panel to check the view, and we can change the layout of objects in the view and save it.

Weblogic Portal Console Administration and SSO

Hello!
I have integrated Oracle Weblogic Server(10.3.2) with Oracle Identity Manager to achive Single Sign On. In IDM is set form login.
My base_domain configuration is : AdminServer and a Cluster_0 with two managed servers : Server_1 and Server_0.
I have as proxy server : Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) for each server : Admin-Server, Server-0, Server-1.
I targeted my portal app to cluster. My portal application contains Portal Administration Console, avaibled at /myAppAdmin.
Security Providers are (in this order):
1. OAMIDAsserter - Oracle Access Manager Identity Asserter( Control Flag : REQUIRED, Active Types : ObSSOCookie)
2. OIDAuthentificator - Provider that performs LDAP authentication (Control Flag: SUFFICIENT )
3. DefaultAuthenticator - Weblogic Authentication Provider ( Control Flag : SUFFICIENT
4. DefaultIdentityAsserter - Weblogic Identity Assertion provider.
When I access Portal Administration Console from /myAppAdmin (admin-tools.war)
1. I login first in IDM with the user from LDAP : weblogic_ldap. The login is ok and the ObSSOCookie is set.
2. I am redirected to login from Portal Administration Console (this thing is wrong and I want to jump this step. I want to go directly in Portal Administration Console after the first login).
3. I login in the second login page from Portal Administration Console with the same user : weblogic_ldap. The login has succeed.
4. I am logged in Portal Administration Console and I can add content ( for exemple)
What I have to do to have only the login form from IDM. To have the only two steps:
1. Login in Portal Administration Console using login form from IDM and a LDAP user
2. Access the Portal Administration Console
I have tried :
I have changed domain security Default Model : "Advanced" , set Combined Role Mapping Enabled to "FALSE", set Check Roles and Policies to
"ALL Web applications and EJBs" and selected for When Deploying Web Applications or EJBs: "Ignore roles and policies to DD".
After this changes I deployed myApp which contains /myAppAdmin Console with Security policies set to Advanced.
I have only the IDM login, the correct one, and after that I am able to see first page of the Portal Administration Console and whatever I click I receive the error:
####<Mar 29, 2011 11:20:55 AM EEST> <Error> <netuix> <server0-dns> <Server-0> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'> <<anonymous>> <1301386855474> <BEA-423142> <The control com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.page.SingleLevelMenu could not be rendered properly due to the following error:

I have to modified admin-tools.war or something in domain's security or myApp's descriptors to be able to login in Portal Administration Console
using only SSO and not both SSO and default login?
Thank you for helping me.

Thank you user11089180, this bit me too. The new password of Passw0rd for the system account is really buried in the documentation.

Vocabulary for web design and beyond

Anyone tackling web design will encounter dozens of unfamiliar terms. I have compiled together this glossary to help them. I may update and expand in the future. Until then, feel free to use or pass along.
Some of these terms don’t relate strictly to web design, but also to computer graphics and computer programming generally, as I’ve found that such terms are also important to reading and understanding any tutorials or other materials on web design.
Asynchronous (1) General use. Not synchronous; not occurring or existing at the same time or having the same period or phase. (2) Digital communication. Pertaining to a transmission technique that does not require a common clock between the communicating devices; timing signals are instead derived from special characters in the data stream.
Bitmap image Image that uses geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes, which are all based on mathematical equations. In a bitmap image, each pixel on a display screen is assigned at least one bit to indicate whether the pixel should reflect the background color, the foreground color, or some other color. each pixel in the bitmap might have 16, 24, or 48 bits of information associated with it. The more bits, the greater the resolution of the bitmap – and the larger the file. Compare Vector image.
C (programming language) General-purpose computer programming language developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories for use with the Unix operating system. It was designed for implementing system software and is also widely used for developing portable application software. C has greatly influenced many other popular programming languages, most notably C++, which began as an extension to C.
C++ Statically typed, free-form, multi-paradigm, compiled, general-purpose programming language. It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labs as an enhancement to the C language and originally named C with Classes. It was renamed C++ in 1983.
Cache Component that transparently stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster. The data that is stored within a cache might be values that have been computed earlier or duplicates of original values that are stored elsewhere. If requested data is contained in the cache (cache hit), this request can be served by simply reading the cache, which is comparatively faster. Otherwise (cache miss), the data has to be recomputed or fetched from its original storage location, which is comparatively slower.
Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) Style sheet language used to describe the presentation semantics (the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language. Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML, but the language can also be applied to any kind of XML document, including SVG and XUL.
ColdFusion Programming language based on standard HTML that is used to write dynamic webpages. It allows for the creation of pages that differ depending on user input, database lookups, time of day, or other criteria. ColdFusion pages consist of standard HTML tags together with CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language) tags such as <CFQUERY>, <CFIF> and <CFLOOP>. ColdFusion was introduced by Allaire in 1996, acquired by Macromedia in a merger in April 2001, and acquired by Adobe in December 2005.
Compound selector Can be used to combine two or more style rules to create a style definition that displays only when one style is contained within another. Compound styles are useful when you want to do something like use the Heading 1 tag multiple times to format headlines in different ways on the same web page. For example, you could create one style for headlines that appear in the main story area of a page and then create another style for headlines that appear in the sidebar on the page and still use the Heading 1 tag to format both. Compound styles are created by combining ID, class, or tag styles and look like this: #sidebar h1.
Contextual selector A type of Style Sheet Selector that
CRE Loaded Open source online store management and shopping cart system for e-commerce from Chain Reaction eCommerce. It is based on osCommerce, runs on any LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) web server, and is supported by an active international community of users and developers. For a monthly subscription ($10/mo. as of 2011), CRE Loaded allows small and medium-sized merchants to accept credit card payments in a web site that mirrors their own online stores.
CSS See Cascading Style Sheet.
Dynamic HTML (DHTML) Umbrella term for a collection of technologies used together to create interactive and animated web sites by using a combination of a static markup language (such as HTML), a client-side scripting language (such as JavaScript), a presentation definition language (such as CSS), and the Document Object Model. DHTML allows scripting languages to change variables in a web page's definition language, which in turn affects the look and function of otherwise “static” HTML page content, after the page has been fully loaded and during the viewing process.
ECMA International International membership-based non-profit standards organization for information and communication systems.
ECMAScript Scripting language standardized by Ecma International in the ECMA-262 specification and ISO/IEC 16262. The language is widely used for client-side scripting on the web, in the form of several well-known dialects such as JavaScript, JScript, and ActionScript.
Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML) Family of XML markup languages that mirror or extend versions of the widely used HTML, the language in which web pages are written. While HTML (prior to HTML5) was defined as an application of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), a very flexible markup language framework, XHTML is an application of XML, a more restrictive subset of SGML. Because XHTML documents need to be well-formed, they can be parsed using standard XML parsers—unlike HTML, which requires a lenient HTML-specific parser.
Extensible Markup Language Set of rules for encoding documents in machine-readable form. It is defined in the XML 1.0 Specification produced by the W3C, and several other related specifications, all gratis open standards. Its design goals emphasize simplicity, generality, and usability over the Internet. It is a textual data format with strong support via Unicode for the languages of the world. Known by its acronym XML.
HTML See HyperText Markup Language.
Hypermedia Graphics, audio, video, plain text and hyperlinks that intertwine to create a generally non-linear medium of information. This contrasts with the broader term multimedia, which may be used to describe non-interactive linear presentations as well as hypermedia. The World Wide Web is a classic example of hypermedia, whereas a non-interactive cinema presentation is an example of standard multimedia due to the absence of hyperlinks.
Hypertext Text displayed on a computer or other electronic device with references (hyperlinks) to other text that the reader can immediately access, usually by a mouse click or keypress sequence.
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) Predominant markup language and basic building-block of webpages. It is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tags, enclosed in angle brackets (like <html>), within the web page content. HTML tags normally come in pairs like <h1> and </h1>. The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag (they are also called opening tags and closing tags). Known by its acronym HTML.
Hypertext preprocessor (PHP) Widely used, general-purpose scripting language that was originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. It brings life to websites by communicating with external data sources, such as databases, news feeds, and XML documents. PHP code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document. PHP 3 was launched in 1998; PHP 4 was released in 2000; and PHP 5 was released in 2005.
Java Programming language released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode (class file) that can run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. Java is a general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented language that is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere". Java is currently one of the most popular programming languages in use, and is widely used from application software to web applications.[
JavaScript Implementation of the ECMAScript language standard and is typically used to enable programmatic access to computational objects within a host environment. It can be characterized as a prototype-based object-oriented scripting language that is dynamic, weakly typed and has first-class functions.
JPEG Commonly used method of Lossy compression for digital photography that was named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which created the standard. The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality. JPEG typically achieves 10:1 compression with little perceptible loss in image quality.
Linux Family of Unix-like computer operating systems using the Linux kernel (central OS component). Linux can be installed on a wide variety of computer hardware, ranging from mobile phones, tablet computers and video game consoles, to mainframes and supercomputers. The development of Linux is one of the most prominent examples of free and open source software collaboration; typically all the underlying source code can be used, freely modified, and redistributed, both commercially and non-commercially, by anyone under licenses such as the GNU General Public License.
Lossy compression Data encoding method which discards (loses) some of the data, in order to achieve its goal, with the result that decompressing the data yields content that is different from the original, though similar enough to be useful in some way. Lossy compression is most commonly used to compress multimedia data (audio, video, still images), especially in applications such as streaming media and internet telephony. By contrast, lossless compression is required for text and data files, such as bank records, text articles, etc.
MySQL Relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. The MySQL development project has made its source code available under the terms of the GNU General Public License, as well as under a variety of proprietary agreements. Acronym for “My Structured Query Language.”
Open source Describes practices in production and development that promote access to the end product's source materials. Before the term open source became widely adopted, developers and producers used a variety of phrases to describe the concept; open source gained hold with the rise of the Internet, and the attendant need for massive retooling of the computing source code.
osCommerce Open source Commerce. It allows store owners to setup, run, and maintain their online stores with minimum effort and with no costs involved. Combines open source solutions to provide a free and open development platform, which includes the PHP web scripting language, the Apache web server, and the MySQL database server. With no restrictions or special requirements, osCommerce can be installed on any PHP3 or PHP4 enabled web server, on any environment that PHP and MySQL supports, which includes Linux, Solaris, BSD, and Microsoft Windows environments.
PHP See Hypertext preprocessor.
Rasterization The process of converting a Vector image into a Bitmap image.
Rasterize See Rasterization.
Shopping cart software Software used in e-commerce to assist people making purchases online. The software allows online shopping customers to accumulate a list of items for purchase. Upon checkout, the software typically calculates a total for the order, including shipping and handling (i.e. postage and packing) charges and the associated taxes.
Style sheet selector One of the two parts of a CSS rule (the other being the properties, or declaration block) that declares which of the markup elements a style applies to. Selectors may apply to all elements of a specific type, or only those elements that match a certain attribute (e.g., how they are placed relative to each other in the markup code, or on how they are nested within the document object model). There are many types of style sheet selectors: element selectors, which select by element name; class selectors, which select by class name; contextual selectors, which select by context based on parent elements (what the element is nested within or what precedes it in the document), etc..
Supercomputer Computer that is at the frontline of current processing capacity, particularly speed of calculation. Supercomputers are typically one-of-a-kind custom designs produced by companies such as Cray, IBM and Hewlett-Packard, who had purchased many of the 1980s companies to gain their experience. Since October 2010, the Tianhe-1A supercomputer, located in China, has been the fastest in the world.
Tag Non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as an Internet bookmark, digital image, or computer file). This kind of metadata helps describe an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching. Tags are generally chosen informally and personally by the item's creator or by its viewer, depending on the system. HTML tags include paragraph, heading 1, heading 2, etc.
Unix Computer operating system originally developed in 1969 by a group of AT&T employees at Bell Labs. The Unix operating system was first developed in assembly, which is machine-dependent and a low-level programming language. Ken Thompson created the B language in 1969 and Unix was written in the B language, a high-level programming language. The first Unix system written in C was released in November 1973.
Vector image Image made up of numerous individual, scalable objects. These objects are defined by mathematical equations rather than pixels, so they always render at the highest quality. Objects may consist of lines, curves, and shapes with editable attributes such as color, fill, and outline. Changing the attributes of a vector object does not effect the object itself. Compare Bitmap image.
Vector processor Central processing unit (CPU) that implements an instruction set containing instructions that operate on one-dimensional arrays of data called vectors. This is in contrast to a scalar processor, whose instructions operate on single data items. Also known as array processor.
Web analytics Measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of internet data, including the number of visitors and page views, for understanding and optimizing web usage. It can be used as a tool for measuring website traffic and for business and market research. Web analytics applications can also help companies measure the results of traditional print advertising campaigns. It helps one to estimate how the traffic to the website changed after the launch of a new advertising campaign.
Web design Design of the way that content is delivered to an end-user through the World Wide Web, using a web browser or other web-enabled software.
Web development Refers to the work involved in developing a web site for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network). This can include Web design, web content development, client liaison, client-side/server-side scripting, web server and network security configuration, and e-commerce development. However, among web professionals, "web development" usually refers to the main non-design aspects of building web sites: writing markup and coding. Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, or social network services.
World Wide Web Consortium Main international standards organization for the World Wide Web. It is made up of member organizations which maintain full-time staff for the purpose of working together in the development of standards for the World Wide Web. Known by its acronym W3C.
XHTML See Extensible HyperText Markup Language.
XML See Extensible Markup Language.
Zend Engine Open source scripting engine (a Virtual Machine) commonly known for the important role it plays in the web automation language PHP.

Thanks for posting this!
I would only mention that your definition is incomplete for this -
Contextual selector A type of Style Sheet Selector that
and that it's most often referred to now as a Descendent selector, not a contextual selector. It's basically the same as the Compound selector that you have already defined....

SSL? I have a Web Service deployed and am able to access it using JNDI and the
weblogic.soap.http.SoapInitialContextFactory
INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY. However, when I try to set the
Context.SECURITY_PROTOCOL to "ssl" and access the secure port,
I get a "java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from
the server" error message.
Does the weblogic.soap.http.SoapInitialContextFactory not
support SSL? Do I need to do the SOAP/XML messaging myself,
without being able to make use of the WebLogic convenience
classes? Thanks! Rob

Alright!
Glad you got it working ;-)
Actually, the problem with the protocol being hardcoded to http in the wsdl.jsp,
is a bit strange. It's unusual that the BEA engineers that coded the wsgen component
and support classes, didn't use something like the following:
<soap:address location="<%= request.getScheme() + "://" + request.getServerName()
+ ":" + request.getServerPort() %>/security/examples/webservices/security/PhoneBookService"/>
I don't use wsgen too much, because I need to have more control over the J2EE
packaging. It (wsgen) is great for spitting out stuff, but not really setup for
doing Web service packaging that use classes (i.e. helper files, frameworks, etc.)
that it doesn't generate. I think they (BEA) might be looking into integrating
the Web Services assembly process with other tools like WebGain, Forte, etc. to
alleviate these types of issues.
Anyway, glad you got it working, so now you can help somebody else (time permitting,
of course) with this topic in the future!

Mike,
Thank you very much for your response! The next to
last sentence did it for me (when you mentioned checking
that the location attribute of the soap:address element
was set properly)! I noticed that when I viewed the WSDL
file via the browser (by clicking on the link in the
index.html page), I saw http://host:<unsecure_port> when
I requested it over the unsecure port, but I saw
http://host:<secure_port> when I requested the WSDL over
the secure port. Notice it did not say https!
So, I unjarred the EAR file that was generated by my
wsgen task, and then unjarred the generated WAR file
contained therein. When I looked at wsdl.jsp, I noticed
that "http" was hard-coded in the location attribute, but
that the host name and port number were dynamically
generated. So I added a scriplet to dynamically place an
"s" after "http" (if request.isSecure()) and rejarred up
the WAR and EAR files.
Now when I deployed the EAR file, I see "https" when
I request the WSDL over the secure port, and my client
(actually your client;) works! Awesome! I really appreciate
your help! Now my only issue is why did the wsdl.jsp have
"http" hard-coded, not accounting for secure requests.
These files were generated by the WSGEN task in ANT.
I figure it's either: I have a configuration problem,
I have a problem with my ANT build script, my version of
WebLogic Server (6.1 w/SP1 built 9/18/2001) has a bug, or
maybe you just have to manually go in and modify the wsdl.jsp
file if you want to use https :(. Please let me know if
you have any insight on this, and I will also follow up
with WebLogic support. Thanks again! Rob

Hi Rob,
I am absolutely sure the code I posted works, so we need to approach
this from
a different angle ;-)
First, I know why the Context.SECURITY_PROTOCOL approach doesn't works.
It's because
the namespace in the Web Services code examples is not the same oneas
the one
used for RMI objects, EJBs, JDBC Data Sources, etc. For those objects,
the Context.PROVIDER_URL
is something like "t3://localhost:7001", and the INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY
is "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory".
The one being used with WebLogic Web Services, is mainly just functioning
as a
mechanism for manufacturing WebServiceProxy objects, because it is a
non-instanciable!
It does this by using a subclass of javax.naming.Context called SOAPContext,
which
is completely hidden from you, but also doesn't do much except implement
the lookup()
method. The implementation of this method ignores the Context.SECURITY_URL
property,
but it does pay attention to the "java.naming.security.principal" and
"java.naming.security.credentials"
properties. You don't need these properties for SSL, just Basic Authentication.
Enough about that, though. The service end-point is a servlet right?
So this means
it has a URL that begins with http or https, which in turn means the
WebLogic
servlet engine gets the SOAP request and sends it to the StatelessSessionAdapter
servlet. To WLS, this is just like any other HTTP/HTTPS request sent
to it ;-)
There is no special "SOAP-related" HTTP/HTTPS handler in WLS, but the
SSL challenge
dance still happens. So my first question is, are you sure you havethe
HTTPS
attributes set properly in the WebLogic console. SSL/HTTPS should be
enabled and
the "Hostname Verification Ignored" checkbox should be checked. Next,
are you
sure the URL assigned to the location attribute of the <service> element
in the
WSDL is correct (i.e. https://localhost:7002)? Are you using the "dynamic
client"
approach?

Mike,
Thanks for your response. I downloaded the code example that
you
posted
last week, as well as the code example that you posted in October for
a similar
request (BEA Support pointed me towards that). Unfortunately, I still
can't get
the Web Service to respond to the client request when the client uses
the HTTPS
port for the WebLogic Server.
I tried two different client approaches. The first uses the client
code
that you posted in October, the WebServiceProxy approach. The second
approach
is based on the example in the WebLogic documentation, which uses the
weblogic.soap.SoapInitialContextFactory
class with the javax.naming.Context object to perform a lookup on the
service
(which closely resembles rmi without the narrowing).
Both client classes fail to invoke the the service itself viaHTTPS
(although
they both work when making HTTP requests to the unsecure port). However,
when
I run the client based on the client class that you posted in October
and make
an HTTPS request, I can see in the output where it is able to download
the WSDL
file and use it (via the WebServiceProxy) to describe the availablemethods
for
the associated Web Service. It is only when the actual invoke() method
is called
on the SoapMethod object (which in turn sends the XML request to the
Web Service
Servlet), that the server doesn't respond, and the client fails with
an UnexpectedEndOfFileException
(i.e. no response).
So, do you know why the servlet that the RPC-style Web Serviceuses
to handle
requests would not respond to HTTPS requests, when it processes HTTP
requests
without a problem (using the same client code that fails with the HTTPS
request)?
I am using WebLogic Server 6.1 w/SP1 on a Solaris 8 platform. Thanks
for any
advice you can give me! Rob

Hi Rob,
Check out the attached zip for "insights" into how to do this. It
contains
the
code for two Web service "consumers" (that the new fangled word fora
"client")
and the web.xml and weblogic.xml for the RPC-style Web Service, that
they consume.
Hope this helps,

Problem in launching sunMC 4.0 Web console

Does anybody have problem in launching sunMC 4.0 web console from a browser?
I have installed sunMC 4.0 on a Solaris 10 upgrade server.
When I type the URL of the sunMC 4.0 server with the default port 8080 I gets the welcome page giving me two options:
- Launch Web Console
href='https://172.17.210.96:6789/'>Launch Web Console
- Launch Java Console
None of the options works for me.
Clicking on "Launch Web Console" ends with error page saying "Unable to Connect". Get the same error regardless of browser: Firefox or IE.
Clicking on "Launch Java Console" gives me "Unable to launch Sun Management Center"
When clicking on "Details" button I gets
An error occurred while launching/running the application.
Title: Sun Management Center
Vendor: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Category: Download Error
Unable to load resource: http://172.17.35.18:8080/smconsole.jnlpA find on the server reveals that smconsole.jnlp is installed on /opt/SUNWsymon/web/console/smconsole.jnlp
I have no problem in launching the console using via script /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-start -c

IT WORKED!
External access to Java Web Console was restored.
Ports 6788 and 6789 are no longer restricted to localhost.
I can browse sunMC 4.0 Web console from any workstation and/or host now.

SAP authentication and SSO into BI4 with multiple SAP systems

We have already setup SAP authentication and SSO between ECC6 and BI4, e.g. to run CR 2011 reports with data based on ECC infosets, or BEx (operational BI on ECC). ECC is the main point of entry for users, so ECC user accounts and role imports are used in BI4.
Now if we add BW to this, with Crystal or WebI or Analysis OLAP sourcing data from BW, can we still leverage detailed authorizations in BW on the corresponding BW user - with user accounts and role imports in BI4 still being ECC-based?

Hi,
Let's say the trust relationship is setup between those systems. Then the simple example is to use Enterprise authentication in BI4, and assertion tickets are issued when making requests to ECC or BW. I assume LDAP/AD authentication would work as well.
>> You also have to setup trust between the BI 4 and ECC & between BI4 and BW. Thats part of the setup for the SSO Token Service.
But does this scenario rule out SAP authentication or not? I was hoping that I can still logon to BI4 with an ECC-issued logon ticket, and then BI4 would nevertheless issue assertion tickets for my BW alias.
>> And that is still possible. Setup the SSO Token Service, setup the aliases for the users. then you could logon with ECC credentials and run a BW report because the token service would then generate the token towards the BW system.
