Integrating SiteMinder with Weblogic 8.0

Hi!,
We have a case where we would like to integrate siteminder with webglogic with
siteminder acting in a reverse proxy mode ie with sm intercepting all calls and
issuing a challenge if need be for authentication against directory server . We
would then like to have use signed onto the weblogic security realm with the nt
groups acting as security roles as far as J2EE is concerned . If anyone has any
experience with this kind of integration or could point me to some sources of
information on the subject , ID be really grateful .

Do you have code sample and/or implementation for BEA 8.1 and Siteminder 6.0 integration? Can you share it?

Has anyone integrated Netegrity with WebLogic ?

Hello:
Has anyone integrated Netegrity's SiteMinder with WebLogic ? I am curious to
see how well it integrates and if there are any 'real world' experiences.

Any kind of integration experience with Weblogic JMS and Oracle AQ?

Hi,
In my company I work with java developers who believe in some kind of "holly" database independence I don't understand and as a result my life as a database developer is hell on earth.. Yesterday we again started to discuss, this time where to log, they believe database is slow and prefer logging to filesystem, after some hours finally I could convince them for some operational and reporting needs to use the database and will do this in an asyncronous way whiich they won't get slow. After all I believe the reason for a database is data, this is the place where data lives, and with the correct desing and implementation logging to database would perform better.
I love Oracle features, and know that we paid a lot for this software, so today I started investigating this promised solution. And quickly I found AQ and JMS topics in the documentation :)
After this introduction here is my problem; my company use BEA Weblogic as application server and the java guys want AQ to automatically (but of course with some delay) take their JMS log requests into database tables. Does any one have similar application experience, or any kind of integration experience with Weblogic JMS and Oracle AQ?
Any comments, references, documentation, sample code, url will be most welcomed :)
Thank you very much!

http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/web_services/jmsws/NewsQueueEJB.java.html

I wouldn't go as far to say Oracle AQ is out-dated today. However, it is indeed a proprietary technology that did not found much main-stream adoption in the earlier years after its introduction. The advent of JMS made it somewhat more useful (or should I say intriguing, because more people are trying to tie it together with other J2EE technologies), but the Oracle's JMS wrapper classes in aqapi.jar were not feature complete for a long while, so using it outside Oracle's application server was painful, if not impossible. I do agree that the info at the dev2dev's JMS newsgroup or in this forum is highly fragmented, as neither Oracle nor BEA provides an official solution to integrate AQ with WebLogic, so people like us have to learn the technology through experimentation and in a piecemeal fashion.
3 years ago I was literally "playing around" - we had a polling mechanism set up to use triggers to write Oracle data changes into an event table, and had a Java-based daemon to scan that table and publish events as JMS messages to the WebLogic JMS server. This continues to work reliably till today, but I was looking for a solution that has few parts - I wanted to hook up my WebLogic MDB directly to AQ as a foreign JMS provider. Although I was able to get it to work (including XA), there were a few hoops I had to jump through, such as decompiling the Oracle AQjms classes to make them bind to the WebLogic JNDI tree.
One year after that Diptanshu Parui took what I did a giant step further - he extended the Oracle AQjms classes to allow them to be bound to the WebLogic JNDI tree naturally, and he figured out how to use WebLogic JMS messging bridge to re-send single-threaded AQ JMS messages to clustered JMS queues, which allow concurrent message assumption by multiple instances of MDB's. My impression is that he is using that setup in a production environment.
I am sure you are aware of it but I would like to make it clear - in order to use AQ as a foreign JMS provider to WebLogic-hosted MDB's, you don't need to update your database to Oracle 10g - Oracle 8i is good enough (although I recommend at least 9i Release 2). It is not the database engine, but rather the aqapi.jar JMS wrapper on top of AQ that matters. I do recommend that you use aqapi.jar from Oracle Application Server 10.0.3 or up for better XA support, among other things. Again, you don't have to replace WebLogic with Oracle AS - you only need a single jar file from it and put it in your WebLogic's classpath. However, I don't know what this means from a licensing point of view if you ever go to production - do you have to pay the full price of OracleAS or OC4J just to use the aqapi.jar?
In the coming days I will test the latest aqapi.jar to see how much progress Oracle has made in terms of making their J2EE products more spec-compliant :-).
Hope the above gives you a different perspective.

Integrating SiteMinder with OHS 11.1.2.1

Hello,
I'm trying to find out if it's possible to integrate CA SiteMinder with OHS 11.1.2.1 running on Windows 2008 64Bit? We try to do it but was unable to make it work yet.
Thank you!
Alex

Hello,
1. The SiteMinder team installed the SiteMinder Web agent on the Windows 2008 64Bit server
2. The SiteMinder team try to run the configuration wizzard but the wizzard cannot find the Oracle OHS Web server, so they try to do it manually
3. We updated the httpd configuration files and added the line describe in the CA siteminder installation guide
LoadModule sm_module "D:/siteminder/bin/mod_sm22.dll"
SmInitFile "D:/siteminder/conf/WebAgent.conf"
We always get the following error:

I couldnâ€™t find any useful message from the website (Forums or help archives), one mentioned info is this has been fixed from pack 3, but what I used is 8.1 SP6.
And the platform I used was weblogic 81 sp6 which was installed from the net installer just now.
Can anyone help me out?

Since a couple of days we see the same in our project. Same release. It started when we added versioning to our ~140 processes. A hint would be great. We too didn't find anything helpful on the web.

How to integration database with weblogic

hi:
the Experts,I am a beginner of Weblogic ,I have a interface is need get the data from the oracle database,who can tell me the detail steps

Hi Selina,
Welcome to Oracle Forums.
As Oracle has very different products, each one has its own forum. This forum is related to Oracle Databases. As your problem seems to be on Weblogic side, probably you will get quick responses in the appropriate [Weblogic forum|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=579] .

JSP Refresh Problems with Weblogic 8.1

While Integration testing with Weblogic 8.1, when I make any changes in the Java classes (like interface changes), the JSPs are not able to recognize them. If the interface being used by a JSP changes, the JSP starts giving compilation errors. The other Java classes of the project though, run fine with the changes.
Have wasted a lot of time in this situation . PLEASE ANY1 HELP!!!
regards,
SR

Not sure on the first problem, store-version-in-cache is a valid element. Make sure you are using the same version of the Mapping Workbench and the runtime library. Please attach the XML for the version locking policy that was generated and the error message.
The abstract method error seems to indicate that the setFetchSize method is missing on your driver.
setFetchSize has been part of JDBC and JDK since JDBC 2.0/JDK 1.2, how old is the driver that you are trying to use? I noticed the COM is uppercase, so I assume this is a very old driver, can you use the more update version? TopLink requires JDK 1.3 support as a minimum.

OAM (10.1.4.3) Integration with WebLogic App Server (10.3.0 or below)

Hi All,
Can I use OAM 10.1.4.3 (Authentication Provider & Identity Asserter) to implement SSO with weblogic App Server 10.3.0 or below?
OAM 10.1.4.3 Authentication Provider & Identity Asserter is the recommended way to configure SSO with Web Logic App server 10.3.1 ( Oracle Middleware 11g).
And
OAM 10.1.4.2 uses WebLogic SSPI to configure SSO between OAM 10g and WebLogic App Server 10.3.0 or below.

Hi,
This is how the integration goes with different versions of WLS and OAM.
There is oamAuthnProvider.jar available with OAM 10.1.4.3 downloads. So it provides the assertion functionality.
Can I use OAM 10.1.4.3 (Authentication Provider & Identity Asserter) to implement SSO with weblogic App Server 10.3.0 or below?
Mahendra: Yes
OAM 10.1.4.3 Authentication Provider & Identity Asserter is the recommended way to configure SSO with Web Logic App server 10.3.1 ( Oracle Middleware 11g).
Mahendra: Yes, this is the recommended and easy approach.
OAM 10.1.4.2 uses WebLogic SSPI to configure SSO between OAM 10g and WebLogic App Server 10.3.0 or below.
Mahendra: Yes, older version of OAM uses SSPI connector installation.
HTH.

Issue while integrating external LDAP with weblogic

Hi,
i am trying integrating external LDAP (OpenLdap) with weblogic 10.3. I created a provider and provided required credentials and able to see users and group of the LDAP into the weblogic console. I am also able to login in the weblogic console with the users available in the LDAP after assigning the admin role to the ldap group. But i when i see the user's property (by clicking on the user in the admin console) it only shows the tabs for General, Password and Group only. on the other hand if i see the users from DefaultAuthenticator, it shows the Attribute tab apart from the General, Password and Group.
Can anyone let me knwo how can we get the Attribute tab for the Ldap users.
thx,
Ajay

Hi Ajay
By default Weblogic has READ ONLY adapters for any External Security Providers that are configured like any AD Providers. READ ONLY means, you can only read the data from the ldap but not modify it, hence may be its not showing the Attributes tag. For Default Authenticator, see the first paragraph note in Attributes tab, that says the same thing. NOW, may be WLS can atleast show Attributes in READ only format, but it needs some sort of mappings to be defined. Say on Weblogic side, we have like firstName, lastName which on any typical AD will be like sn (surname = lastname), givenname (firstname) etc etc. This mapping is tough to generalize.
One thing for sure is, from Weblogic you cannot modify or edit any attributes for any user in external AD. If you really want to get those attributes, you may need to use some javax.ldap apis or some 3rd party ready to use tools/apis. I remember Weblogic Portal has a facility to configure a xml file that defines attributes mapping and get all attributes for any user. But again thats in Weblogic Portal product and not part of weblogic server.
If you have any SOA Software, they have some utilities for the same.
Thanks

QUESTION Re. Integrating TIBCO EMS with Weblogic 8.1 using MDB

Hi All,
          I am trying to integrate TIBCO EMS 4.3.0 with Weblogic 8.1 SP6.
          I have created a topic "SIMPLE.TOPIC" on the EMS. I have configured the Foreign JMS Server as follows:
          Name: TIBCO JMSServer
          JNDI Initial Context Factory:com.tibco.tibjms.naming.TibjmsInitialContextFactory
          JNDI Connection URL:tibjmsnaming://emshost:emsport
          I have configured the connection factory as follows:
          Name: TIBCO JMSTopicConnectionFactory
          Local JNDI Name: TopicConnectionFactory.Local
          Remote JNDI Name:TopicConnectionFactory
          User Name:username to connect to EMS server
          Password::pssword to connect to EMS server
          My JMS destination is configured as follows:
          Name: Tibco JMS Destination
          Local JNDI Name:SIMPLE.TOPIC.LOCAL
          Remote JNDI Name:SIMPLE.TOPIC
          My weblogic-ejb-jar.xml consists of the following code:

          The Message-Driven EJB attempted to connect to the JMS destination with the JNDI name: SIMPLE.TOPIC. However, the object with the JNDI name: SIMPLE.TOPIC is not a JMS destination, or the destination found was of the wrong type (Topic or Queue).
          I have checked and double checked to make sure that the topic SIMPLE.TOPIC does exist on the EMS server.
          Does anyone know what is the issue here and how to resolve it?
          Many thanks!

          Edited by kinshukk at 05/14/2007 8:35 AM

(1) Check the standard ejb jar and make sure you've specified a topic destination type (the default is queue). For details, you can reference the WebLogic 9.0 MDB developer guide (the MDB dev guide was revised in 9.0 to include more detail than the 8.1 guide). Also, you might want to take a look at our integration/interop FAQ (again for 9.0 or later).
          (2) Change the weblogic-ejb-jar to reference the foreign local JNDI names - not the remote JNDI names.
          (3) Be careful about using the "." and "/" characters in local JNDI names - these have side-effects in JNDI (they force creation of subcontexts).

Integration of Commons Logging framework with Weblogic

Hi,
We are trying to use Apache commons logging framework and trying to publish log mesages in Weblogic so that messages can be seen through console and all the Logging configurations can be managed from Admin console. I tried using the below steps:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/logging/config_logs.html#using_commons
But these does not seems to be working for User defined handlers. I am able to see the logs in the default odl-handler file but not able to log the messages through the handlers defined by me.
Can anyone help me on this.

Integration 8.1 Works with Weblogic 9.2???

Hi,
I am trying to find out if the latest version of the Integration works with the new released Weblogic 9.2.
I suppose Integration will come with BEA its own IDE and is not Eclipse based.
Can we deploy an 8.1 Inegration Project on weblogic 9.2?
Any answer will be the most appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Alexandru

I'm pretty certain that a WLI 8.1 project will not work with WLS 9.2.
From what I understand (from public info), the next release of WLI will be version 9.2, and that should come out later this year. The IDE for it will be Workshop for WebLogic, which is Eclipse-based.

Problem integrating JProbe 4.0 with Weblogic 4.5.1

I'm trying to integrate JProbe 4.0 with Weblogic 4.5.1. JProbe
doesn't provide an integration for this version of Weblogic so I have
to do the set up by hand. We are running Weblogic with a 1.3 JVM on
Solaris.
First problem is that the JVM we were using wasn't supported by
JProbe. So I swapped to a different version. The application,
consisting of about 150 EJBs plus JSPs and Servlets works fine with
this JVM. When I run with JProbe, JProbe waits for the console
connection then Weblogic starts. About half way through deploying all
the EJBs the application stops. I've done a thread dump and it
doesn't seem to be a deadlock. Looking at the JProbe console I can
see that objects are getting allocated and GC'd in the typical saw
tooth fashion indicating that things are still running. I've waited
15 minutes but the application does not progress beyond this point.
Any got any ideas about this or tips as to how I can debug things
further?

Hi David,
You could try to turn off memory debugging along with
putting the debug environment into a big fat box. With
memory debugging on JProbe is slooooow...

Iplanet Integration with weblogic

Dear All,
We want to integrate IPlanet with weblogic application server.
Please suggest the procedure for the same i.e docs , URLs.
Thanks
Prashant

kindly take a look at our reverse proxy plugin
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-0902
also, please note that if you need to serve only servlet / jsp , then sun java system web server 6.1 has integrated container that can do the job very well.
for any further business process logic , you can use the app servers with 'reverse proxy enabled' so that these requested can be forwards to either Sun Java System Application Server or Web Logic
