Importing NT User information into Portal

We are using Portal in an NT environment, and we have been able to get through the necessary single sign on issues.
Now, we need to pull our NT user information into Portal's user database, including all the groupings we already have set up so that we can take advantage of Portal's exceptional security features. This is key to our ability to use the product, and to our demo in a week.
The fact is we have 5,000 users to enter, and it is prohibitive for us to do that through the standard Portal APIs. We already have the users' input once in NT, we can get a flat file with all the information we need, we just need a way to get this information
into the appropriate tables within Portal's database.
Is there a script or some more "automated" way you can suggest for us to do this?

Maybe you could try to use an intermediate LDAP export file (ldif), since Active Directory is LDAP-based and you can plug a LDAP to your Portal SSO Login Server.
I only have tried exporting and importing using .ldif files up to now.
I also have heard about techniques to use NT user account info to log on to Portal ; 'could be easier.

How you import essbase users list into Hyperion reports?

How you import essbase users list into Hyperion reports?

I don't think this is a standard feature of Hyperion Reports.
Why do you need to see all the users in a report. Administrators can always query EAS, Shared Services or MaxL.

Import a user dump into Oracle 8i Database

Please help, I tried to import a user dump file to Oracle 8i Database by command line (imp system/manager@instance).
However, reture a message with" imported successful with warning". And I couldn't connect the database with the new user login.
Any advice?

Hi,
I
1) export the data from your source database XE
C:\WINDOWS\system32>exp userid=USER1@XE1 file=user1.dmp
2) in the target XE database you would have to recreate the same user, e.g. USER1
3) run imp on the same dump file:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>imp userid=USER1@xe2 file=user1.dmp full=yes ignore=yes

There are so many treads about export and import in XE.

Storing user information into session best practice.

I am developing an web application where user first have to login to be able to enter.
When user correctly logged in an UserAccount object with all user data (except loginName and Password) is being stored into session. An Filter is checking session for UserAccount object and if user correctly logged in forwards the request to the next filter in the application.
When user logged out, the session object is being destroyed. �Session invalidate()�
I would like to know if there are better solutions for this.
Thank you in advance.
--Nermin B.

You may want to also re-evaluate your "application" as a whole.
In most cases - yours may be the exception - session objects are used to well, associate a particular web browser with a particular user. There usually is little need to retain additional information about that person, unless that information is frequently accessed. I think Shok used a poor example; a person's address, phone number, credit card number and so on is usually accessed once per visit, whereas the contents of that person's shopping cart is generally accessed every time the user changes web pages.
The key concept here is you want to balance memory consumption verses database hits (or file i/o). Authorization info should be in the object, whereas general background info can be in the data source and accessed when needed.
If on the other hand, you don't have a data source, you don't really have much of a choice and a session object (or similarly, a JavaBean) should just go ahead and contain all of the information about the user.
To change the subject, session objects and JavaBeans are server side. As long as you keep a careful eye on the interfaces to those objects, you should be fine security wise. For example, if a person passes a parameter to your web page, make sure the parameter is anticipated and correct before you save it in the object. In other words, don't write a generic function that blindly accepts parameter names and values and sets them accordingly within the session object. The only place you should be able to set the password attribute is from the change-your-password JSP page.
Cookies on the other hand are definitely stored on the client's machine, and yes, you want to be really paranoid and make sure that the cookie you are retrieving is the cookie you are expecting. I think the source of confusion is that session ids corresponding to session objects can be stored within a cookie - so you if can change the id, the server thinks you are someone else and uses that person's session object.

Generate or import xml form content into portal

Hi, we have a content repository type "fsdb" in wich we have created a xml form to publish content.
Now we need to develope a program or process that read information from a database and generate the xml content in the repository,
How can we generate the xml form content?
I have tried coping and existing element of the repository from the file system and changing the data but something more is needed, I think that is necesary to update the database.
Any suggestion is welcomed.
Thanks in advanced.
Regards.

Hi,
I differred my theme, cause I also had to use and transport the xml-forms into another portal. For this reason I have to use xml-forms. I've found out how to modify the the content/text of an subscription-mail.
Is there any way to define different layouts for subscription-mails? (Maybe depending on the folder.)
Is there any way to send an e-Mail to a specified address (including the content) when saving the xml-form?

Atch import of Backend roles into Portal 7.3 ehp1

Hi,
We have 150 roles we need to import to our portal from our BW backend. Does anyone know a way to import a batch of roles with user assignment ticked from a text file ?
We can used the tools in the content admin and enter Z* but this brings in too many roles.
Thanks
Jim

Hey Jim,
There may not be a single standard program or transaction for mass update/upload of roles. We had to develop a Z-program for a similar functionality. You may use BAPI_USER_CREATE, BAPI_USER_PROFILES_ASSIGN, BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.
hope this helps.
Good Luck!

Importing Cisco VPN information into Finder VPN

Hello,
I have recently upgraded to OSX Lion and the Cisco VPN Client used by my university no longer works. They suggest another client (Shrew Soft), which also doesn't work. What I'd like to be able to do is use the VPN configuration information provided by my institute with the Finder's own VPN capability, bypassing the need for a buggy client programm.
I've already read this thread, however it hasn't helped:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2274119?start=0&tstart=0
My problem seems to be that I need TWO files to configure Cisco correctly, a root certificate (which appears to be in .pem format) and a .pcf file. If I follow the "standard procedure" for importing the .pcf details -- that is, without using the root certificate somehow -- I get the message "The VPN server did not respond. Verify the server address and try reconnecting." Clearly I need somehow to be using BOTH files in order to establish a connection.
I have messed around with adding the root certificate to my System keychain, but the Finder doesn't display it when I go to "authentification settings". Instead I have only two certificates with "apple" in the name.
Even if I could add the root certificate successfully, this would surely be fruitless, as I would then no longer be using the shared secret.
SO, my query is: How can I combine both of these files into a single certificate that I can then add to my keychain and use for machine identification? Please bear in mind that I am not a computer specialist and am not au fait with Open SSL, and so forth. I'm prepared to grapple with it if it's the only way to get my VPN working again, but I will really need a very clear explanation of each step!
Many thanks in advance!

No ideas?

Defaulting address information into portal screen fields - ESS

Hi,
I have a slight issue, it goes something like this. In the backend when selecting a post code - The City and distict will automatically default. This does not happen in the portal (EP7 - ERP2005). We get the drop down for the post code, but have to also select the city and district manually. Could someone explain is there a way of defaulting information, so that it works like the backend. Where is configuration?
The front end should behave like the backend.

Hi,
I had the similar problem. Several users reported that different ESS iviews were not coming up for them (such as time entry and create expense report) and that they were getting blank pages. These users had proper permission in PCD and ECC back-end, and they had no problem with anyother iviews or pages.
I just tried Kwong Tat's suggestion of clearing personalization, and this fixed my problem.
I like to give Kwong Tat points, but I don't know how, since this is not my thread.

Printing user information into a magnetig stripe

Hi everyone,
One of our costumers wants to print their access cards directly from SAP, putting the personal data of the employee on a magnetic stripe.
Do you know if there is a list of supported printers/hardware providers that supports the direct printing from an SAP system?
Do you know if another costumers has implemented something like this? any ideas or workarounds to implement it?
Thanks in advance.
SL

Thanks for the information Darran. So you are saying I can put something like jdoe cisco123 050506 051106 group 10 and it will work? Do you think it can be done via Web?
Our goal is to allow guest access but let the tech support folks handle this. So if we can have them create an account, input expiration date and group, then we are doing good.
One has to wonder when Cisco will start working on accounts management in ACS. It is not very pleasing.
I will do this.
Thanks

How to capture name of user that logs into Portal?

Im trying to create a report that returns information from a
Profile table. The UserId is the key to the Profile table.
Since this report returns information dependent upon who runs
it, I would make use of the USER functionality in SQL to isolate
the row in the Profile table. However, this technique wont
work through Portal because the user logs into Portal not the
database.
What technique (keyword, API, etc.) should I use to capture the
username of the person who logged into Portal?
Thanx,
JE

Try this:
PORTAL30.wwctx_api.get_user

Diminishes timeout of the inactive user in the portal

Hi
Please, which parameter that diminishes timeout of the inactive user in the portal to netweaver 7.0?

Hi Saurabh,
you can do this by modifing the headerIview.jsp by using session variables.
when a user logs into portal you have to keep his details in a session and check them everytime when he tries to login again.if it is not the first time then throw and error message
you need to change the par file. code will be something like this
session.setAttribute("user",request.getUser());
if(session.getAttribute("user")!=null)
And for preventing from backend -
By changing the parameter - login/disable_multi_gui_login you can do this.
Check below sap link - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/22/41c43ac23cef2fe10000000a114084/frameset.htm

How we Can find out How many Users Logon into the Portal those users Names.

Hi Friends
I have one doubt in Portal,
How we can find how many Users Logon into the Portal and how we can find that users Names in Portal.
Regards
Vijay Kalluri

Hello Vijay,
If you are at all interested in a 3rd party application to make your life a bit easier getting stats on your users, you could check out Click Stream by Sweetlets.
Click Stream uses the Usermanagement (UME) API to get more information about the user, groups, roles, LDAP attributes etc. and offers you the ability to filter this information in nearly any report at the click of a button.
Click Stream also uses the PCD API to get information about the pages your users are visiting too.
In the very near future Click Stream will also have iView recording to monitor iViews, telling which iViews have been clicked, etc.
Here are some reviews on the SAP EcoHub from people who have used it: http://ecohub.sdn.sap.com/irj/ecohub/solutions/clickstream
Please just let me know if you have any question or if you are open to test drive Click Stream. We will certainly help as best as we can.
Good luck.
