Interaction of BW Roles and BWA Explorer Security

We secure all our BW users via roles these roles have Analysis
authorizations embedded in them which restrict access to specific
infoproviders and values in these based on authorization relevant
infobjects.
When we try to create a BWA Explorer object in RSDDTPS we are forced to
assign a userid and an analysis authorization directly in
the "Authorizations" tab. Our security group only wants to have too
assign roles to users either via SU01 or CUA.
Configuration
BO 2008 Enterprise Server (connected to BW system)
BW system (Netweaver 7.01 EHP1)
BWA 7.2
1) How can we create BWA Explorer objects on a infoprovider without
directly assigning users in Authorization Tab and how can we make the
system ignore whatever is on this tab and base access to a BWA explorer
object on the roles assigned to the user via SU01/CUA.
2) If a User has roles assigned in BW that give them access to a
specific infoprovider will this automatically also give them access to
a BO Server published BWA explorer object built on that infoprovider.
Related to this do we also need import the same roles and assign to the
user in CMS server with link to BWA Explorer Server or does the user
automatically get access to BWA Explorer as long as BWA Explorer is
published on BO Server.
3) If the user in BW is assigned roles that limit values based on an
authorization relevant object is this restriction enforced in the
values returned in published BWA Explorer for the user. Example
Authorization Relevant object is Profit Ctr and the user has two value
roles one contains access to all profit center that role up to a
hierarchy node limited to the USA and the other contains hierarchy
analysis authorization limiting access to all profit centers rolling up
to hierarchy node representing Europe. When a user access's the BWA
Explorer object which contain profit ctr will the values be limited
only to USA AND Europe Profit centers or will the BW value based
security be ignored.
Please provide advice on above questions and document resources on how
BW role based security interacts with BWA Explorer.

Hi Expert,
I need a solution for same scenario, anyone can give inputs.

Configuring roles and users (adf security) application context wise.

Dear All,
I referred this tutorial (http://biemond.blogspot.com/2008/12/using-database-tables-as-authentication.html) which shows how to hook up adf security with database schema but at domain level which will be common to all applications in that domain. I want to make it different to each application. (i.e each application will use differene database schema for storing user credientials i.e enterprise roles,application roles and users.)
Can any one please point me to proper way..

Dear Frank,
<i>
Instead you have a single identity management system and have the application policies being different for the applications.Using ADF Security, users and groups can have different privileges in different applications
</i>
suppose i have 3 applications that use adf security, the users will be common to all applications. right..?Roles and group can be different for applications.
application polices means roles and group..?
So how it(application polices) can be made different for applications? is it inbuilt or some configurations needed ?. Can you point me to some blogs or tutorials for more reference.
Bet: Incase i hook up adf security with database schema.

Security-role and security-role-assignment not working in WL7.0

Hello all..
Some EJB components that worked fine in WebLogic 6.1 no longer work in
WL7.0. It has to do with the security-role and security-role-assignment
descriptor elements no longer allowing anonymous users to be included in the
authorization for a bean.
For example, in WL6.1 placing these items in ejb-jar.xml:
<assembly-descriptor>
<security-role>
<role-name>Employees</role-name>
</security-role>
<method-permission>
<role-name>Employees</role-name>
<method>
<ejb-name>CustomerEJB</ejb-name>
<method-name>*</method-name>
</method>
</method-permission>
and mapping WebLogic default users to this role in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml:
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>Employees</role-name>
<principal-name>guest</principal-name>
<principal-name>system</principal-name>
</security-role-assignment>
worked fine for clients creating their context using a simple
InitialContext() constructor without specifying SECURITY_PRINCIPAL or
SECURITY_CREDENTIALS. These users were basically "guest" to WebLogic, and
the security-role-assignment element above told WebLogic that "guest" was in
the Employees role for purposes of this EJB archive.
Worked in WL6.1, no longer works in WL7.0. Client receives typical
permission exception:
java.rmi.AccessException: Security violation: insufficient permission to
access method 'create'
If I explicity connect as "system" things are fine, or I can create a new
user in the default realm in WebLogic, put a matching <principal-name>
element in the section above, and connect as that user. Note that if I leave
off the <security-role> section completely, or set the required role name to
"everyone", the anonymous access works fine. Apparently the anonymous user
is a member of "everyone" behind the scenes even though "everyone" does not
appear in the realm list of groups or roles.
So, my question boils down to this: Is there a "magic" username in WL7 like
"guest" was in WL6.1 that can be mapped to the required role name, or must
every client connection use a true weblogic-created user with appropriate
role assignments used to map it to the required role name.
-Greg
P.S. Note that none of the EJB examples provided with WL used
<security-role>..

Issues with test-all role and browser security

WLS 10.3.5
I have a deployed application on Linux using a SQLAuthentication and Authorization - all is well here.
I have setup all the security (without the test-all role) and I cannot access any of the system.
If I put the test-all role in - I can access the system.
I have verified the user has all the roles (I used the example bean to display the user and roles on the menu page) and the test-all role is not in the list.
I have the menu setup to not display items unless the user has the role (this is working fine - SecurityContext.inRole(rolelist).
So the context is fine.
I used jazn-data to set the same roles in the taskflows - this is not working at all unless the test-all role is set - I get authorization errors - not authorized).
Have I missed something in this?
I have also noticed that if I close the browser (X) without logging out and come back into the system the authentication is totally bypassed and I go back in as the same user as before.
Is there some way to destroy the previous context every time the welcome screen is executed.

Add the following parameters to the Run options for the ViewController project:
-Djps.auth.debug=true -Djps.auth.debug.verbose=true
Then restart WebLogic, run the app and watch the console - you'll see all the security evaluations take place which should help you to identify the problem.

Role based oracle adf security and filtering data

while oracle adf security looks great its only role based... does anyone know of any resources describing an architecture where this is used in addition to filtering of data based on say, organization?
it seems that oracle adf security is not really geared towards a self service app where administrative users have a security interface as part of the application where they can assign roles and associate users to entities for the further filtering of data...

Hi,
it seems that oracle adf security is not really geared towards a self service app where administrative users have a security interface as part of the application where they can assign roles and associate users to entities for the further filtering of data...
ADF Security is a JAAS based security implementation to protect resources (like entities). It is nota security provider like OPSS or OID which you can use for user provisioning and self service (if you code against the IDM APIs). ADF Security only checks for whether a user is authenticated and if the user has the permission to perform a task.
However, you can use groovy to access the security context from Groovy, which allows you to add the authenticated username to a query - for example to filter recrds out that match the username in one of its attributes.
For example, you could create a ViewCriteria that for example filters the query by a specific attribute. Say that managers can see data starting from department 10 whereas employees can see data starting from department 100. The ViewCriteria would reference a bind variable with the following default setting
adf.context.securityContext.isUserInRole('manager')? 10 : 100

Security roles and profiles

Hello,
Could you please provide information on "security roles and profiles "
I would appreciate.
Regards,
Alex

Roles give you authorization to specific area of the system. Use TC pfcg and you will see different setting for a role.
In specific Role -> Authorization -> click on Display Authorization Data.
Here all specific InfoArea, Cube, ODS, Reporting componets: display, execute and other security rules are defined.
User Section: defines who has access to this role.
Multiple authorization are combined to create an Authorization Profile. You defined a profile at TC su01 and under profile section.
Hope that helps.
thanks.

Configure security-role and method permission for EJB 3.0 using Jdev 11g

The EJB 3.0 session bean created by Jdev 11g EJB wizard does not have ejb-jar.xml. Where and how can security-role and method permission for the EJB be configured?
For example,
<assembly-descriptor>
<security-role>
<role-name>managers</role-name>
</security-role>
<method-permission>
<role-name>managers</role-name>
<method>
<ejb-name>Employees</ejb-name>
<method-name>setSalary</method-name>
<method-params>
<method-param>java.lang.Long</method-param>
</method-params>
</method>
</method-permission>
</assembly-descriptor>

user516954,
By default annotations are used. However, you can create a new descriptor and that will take presidence over any declared annotation.

Security report with native roles and the roles they have access to.

We need a security report that shows the Native/Custom Roles and the roles that they have access to.
So, an example would be the role US_Acct, and the report would show what roles that has access to (Post Journals, Consolidate, etc).Can this be done?

Export the Provision report from Shared Services.
Upload report to Excel or Access.
Build Tables to show what tasks each Role has access to.
Build a report that links the provision report and the xref tables.
You should also do this with Security Classes.

Menu Role and Security

How do you enable menu roles and enforce security in forms?
For example in an complex application if we want to have a control of access of menus based on user login
I know it can be done thru the front-end itself by using an if then condition.
but can it be integrated with the database user logins itself
kindly reply
Thanx in advance

Hi,
first RUN frm60sec.sql under system/manager
create different roles
GRANT roles to users
Grant select access to the view created by frm60sec as follows:
SQL > Grant select on frm50_enabled_roles to public;
Note it is NOT frm60_enabled_roles.
To verify that your roles and grants are correct, log on as a user and run the following:
SQL>Select * from frm50_enabled_roles;
You should be able to see the users roles.
then come to MMB file contibue assiging the roles in each menu Item. U ll see get the result.

Roles and Security

I have setup a 11g Oracle database.
Can I please have some help to create some user accounts (3 levels, eg. Administrator, Power User, and Guest style users) as well as setting up appropriate levels of security implemented via ROLES and PRIVILEGES for Roles.
Thanks in advance

996403 wrote:
I am wanting the Administrator to have control over everything, the Power User to be a User who also has the ability to create tables, triiggers etc, and the Guest to just be able to view data in the database without changing anything.
Can you correct me if I am wrong with the following suitable roles for the users:
Administrator
- All roles
Power User
- Connect
- Resource
Guest
- ConnectYou have to get out of this Administrator/Power User/Guest Windows security group paradigm. Windows security groups cannot be directly correlated to Oracle security groups, and that is why you are having so much trouble doing so. I recommend that you:
-stop comparing Oracle to Windows
-learn what security rights your database users need
-fully understand the predefined roles, and then assign users to those roles only if they require every right that those roles grant
-create your own application roles for any users that have requirements that do not align exactly with the predefined groups
We are only encouraging you to do things in a manner that follows best practices, and doing so will keep your headaches to a minimum later on down the road.

Internet Explorer security message blocks my vrml from playing

I created a simple flash interactive saved as an exe file. I
created a button with a “get url” script to launch a
quicktime vrml, it launches internet explorer and a security
message about active content appears, which blocks the vrml from
playing. Is there anyway the vrml can open without getting the
internet explorer security message?

Hi,
My immediate reaction is don't panic! If you are testing your
own page from your own local server then there is nothing to worry
about. The whole issue of Active X controls is another sore point
when having to deal with Microsoft's handling of interactive
content.
Triggering of the warning can be caused by various things
other than the obvious contact with dynamic content. Here is an old
thread from a discussion on why Active X warning appear on your own
pages.
http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/showtopic16624.htm
Googling will find more evidence for you to trace. Your code
looks fine to me and is not a threat to your system if it came off
of your own local server.
Active X is a pain in the butt.
