Invisible web clip

How do I delete an invisible Web clip?
Background: I can see the state of my printer via my browser, so I made a Web clip of that. The problem is that since setting that up, when I first launch Dashboard, I get an error message about a Java certificate or something. The clip kept moving for some reason, and now it's nowhere to be seen, but I still get the error message when I launch Dashboard.
I'd like to get rid of that clip, especially since it's invisible and thus useless, but it's not listed among the widgets.
Any suggestions?

The clip does not show up as one of the processes, at least not in a way that I can recognize.
Dashboard Client shows up several times on the list of processes, but I don't know if one of those corresponds to the Web clip, or not, and if yes, which one it would be. Looking under "open files and ports" for those processes does not help, or at any rate does not help me.
Using the search box does not find anything for "web" or "lexmark" (the name of my printer).

Partner application and web clipping.

Hi All,
I am trying to add an external application (say my.yahoo.com) to a webclipping and its throwing the below error in the application log.
WC-517 : SSL handshake failed with the url ...
I have checked the file ca-bundle.crt and the certificates are in place. Does anybody know how to go about debugging this problem as I am quite new to portals and at my wits end to solve it.
Also I would be greatful if anybody can suggest me the steps on adding an Apex application configured as partner application with SSO authentication to a web clipping.There seems to be little or no-documentation at all in this regard(as far as my search goes).
Thanks in advance

I finally got it working by VERY CAREFULLY reading the instructions in the install.txt document in the SSO SDK package. You have to set up the partner application with a new schema in the login server database, and run the regapp.sql script AFTER editing it to insert data from the Login Server Partner Application admin screen. After you register the partner app in Portal, it gives you some info (site token, listener token, encryption key, etc). You have to MANUALLY copy these and paste them into the regapp.sql script, then run the script in the partner app schema. Make sure you don't confuse capital I with numeral 1 (like I did, since Oracle so nicely uses a non-serif font where you can not tell the difference).
Also make sure you copy the exact values for these parameters into your code when you use the SSOEnabler class. The listener token was very confusing since different documents appear to disagree on whether it should include the partner app name or not. It does require the partner app name:
app-name:hostname:port
hostname and port are for the web server that is handling http requests for the login server (usually your main portal web server).

Https and web clipping portlet

Hi,
I have little problem with portal, I can't add web clipping portlet from my web app, which using https.
Has anyone any experience with adding web clipping portlet over ssl? Is it possible? (version 10g, 10.1.2.0.0)
Thanks
Jan Kralik

Hi Jan,
Have you configured the whole iAS stack in SSL? -- refer to Section 6.3.2.1.4, "SSL Throughout OracleAS Portal" from the Portal Configuration Guide (http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/appserver1012.html).
I hope it helps...
Cheers,
Pedro.

Web application through web clipping portlet configured through SSO

I have followed the steps in the below URL in integrating the external application with SSO configuration.
http://MKD-164540.wipro.com:7778/portalTools/webClipping/providers/webClipping
After adding the web clipping portlet to the portal page it is giving the below message.
User authentication failed. Please use the following link to update the information.
Update login information.
Navigating to "Update login information. " link showing to enter the log in and password details.I am confused which log in details I have to submit here. I have tried my AD credentials and application login details. Its not working anything.
If anybody have any idea on this, Please help me.
Regards,
-Venu

Either the login information is not correct (it explains it should not be domain\username but just username) or the authentication format from your Microsoft proxy server (Kerberos?) is not compatible with the Web Clipping portlet. You might get a better reply in the Portal forum about supported proxy authentication methods for the WebClipping portlet.

Web Clipping portlet and pdf files

Hi,
I have created a web clipping portlet which just includes a set of links to HTML and pdf files. When I try to open a link to a pdf file the web clipping portlet fails, but links to the html content work fine
Is it possible using web clipping to open the links to the pdf files and display them in the web clipping portlet ?
Thanks,

Web Clipping portlet and https

We have an external ASP application that requires HTTPS authentication. We want to pull the application into portal via a Web Clipping portlet.
However when we try start up web clipping studio with the https url we get the following error:
'WCS-517 -- SSL handshake failed for HTTPS connection to URL https://icwwwd.cc.ic.ac.uk/spectrum/ict/services/software/shop/downloads/SoftwareShop.asp by method get'
My questions are:
1. Is it possible to use the web clipping portlet to access a secure page?
2. If so does anyone know why we are getting this error?
3. Assuming we can, how do we get portal to automatically log on to the application via https so users do not have to login twice i.e. once into portal and once into the asp application?
Thanks

Here is a more complete answer, cut and paste from the Oracle9iAS Portal Web Clipping Portlet Users and Administrators Guide at
http://portalcenter.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/DOCTEAM/WEBCLIPPING/WEBCLIPV9025.PDF
5.3 Configuring Security
When a user navigates to a secure site, the Web site typically returns a
certificate identifying itself to the user when giving secure information. If
the user accepts the certificate, the certificate is placed into the list of trusted
certificates of the browser so that a secure channel can be opened between
the browser and that server. Like aWeb browser, theWeb Clipping Provider
behaves as an HTTP client to external Web sites. In order for the Web
Clipping Provider to keep track of trusted sites, it makes use of a file that
stores the certificates of those sites, namely the ca-bundle.crt file.
The shipped ca-bundle.txt is an exported version of the trusted server
certificate file from OracleWallet Manager (OWM). The default trusted
server certificate in OWM does not cover all possible server certificates that
exist on theWeb. For this reason, when a user navigates to a secure server
using HTTPS, the user may get an "SSL Hand-shake failed" exception in the
Web Clipping Studio. To solve this problem, the ca-bundle.crt file
needs to be augmented with new trusted sites that are visited. As a Portal
Administrator, you must do the following to extend the shipped
ca-bundle.crt file:
1. Use a browser (preferably Internet Explorer) to download the root
server certificate from each external HTTPSWeb site in BASE64 format
that is visited, and is missing from the trusted certificate file.
2. Use Oracle Wallet Manager (OWM) to import each certificate.
3. Export the trusted server certificates into a file and replace the
ca-bundle.crt file with that file.
For more information about Oracle Wallet Manager, see Chapter 17 "Using
Oracle Wallet Manager" in Oracle Advanced Security Administrators Guide in
the Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2) documentation section on the Oracle
Technology Network (OTN) (http://otn.oracle.com).
=============
So, if you have another certificate authority that you need to add, i.e., DOD certs, etc., you must follow the instructions above.

Problem with Web Clipping and External Application

When I use Web clipping with INLINE rendering on usual sites I can move under links, not leaving a portal.
But if I try to make it via the self-made provider with External Application then links do not work.
I press them and it appear in the same place!
Authorization via External Application passes successfully, that is the page is displayed correctly.
But links do not work.
In what there can be a problem?
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)

In order to prevent some urls and internal websites from being cached use url bypassing. This way these urls will not be cached and the users can directly use them without being asked to log in.
To enable transparent error handling and dynamic authentication bypass, and to configure static bypass lists, use the bypass global configuration command. To disable the bypass feature, use the no form of the command.

Web Clipping portlet causing report from SQL Query to fail

I have a master page that contains:
1. web clipping portlets (from external sites)
2. customizable reports built from Portal Providers also added to the page as portlets
Problem:
When the web clipping portlets were added to the page, the reports now fail when submitted. When the submit/run report button is clicked a "404 Page not Found" error is returned....
Any ideas????? Thanks in advance for anything offered!

Below is the response to my inquiry on Metalink as to this issue and it's status:
Hi,

How can I get back the Web Clip widget in Dashborad?

Dear all,
I accidentally deleted the Web Clip widget together with the Web Clip.wdg in Library/Widgets/ folder by AppCleaner some time ago. Now I cannot use this function to clip content in pages. I have the widget icon in Safari and can crop the webpage without problems, but after I did this action, nothing appeared or happened in the Dashboard since the original web clip widget file is gone.
I would like to know where and how I can get back the Web Clip.wdg file so that I can perform the Web Clip function again?
I just saw a user who posted a similar topic on Dec 28, 2008 and his/her problem is solved. I have this same problem like his/hers.
I would appreciate if anyone can help me, thanks!

Hi,
Thank you very much for your help.
I have tried to use Time Machine to get back the Web Clip but still couldn't, and very strange is when I click Time Machine, I can only choose Windows Applications as the back up disk but not Macintosh Applications, so I cannot restore anything from Macintosh applications.
I think the best is if anyone has this widget on their Mac and can kindly send it to me by e-mail?
I would appreciate it so much.

Hi,
Are you using proxy server? if yes you have to configure it, or it is problem with your provider.xml file. Can you past the code from provider.xml related to proxy setting?
I have resolved this issue by follow following technique, Look this code from provider.xml
<proxyInfo class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.ProxyInformation">

<proxyUseAuth></proxyUseAuth>
<proxyType></proxyType>
<proxyRealm></proxyRealm>
<proxyUseGlobal></proxyUseGlobal>
<proxyUser></proxyUser>
</proxyInfo>
commented first three tags and removed value from remaining tags.
Just try with that, Hope this will solve your problem

Hi
Are you useing NWDS(CE 7.1) then you have use this sort of code to bind it
Model1 model1Model = new Model1();
    Bapi_Flight_Getlist_Input bapi_Flight_Getlist_Input = new Bapi_Flight_Getlist_Input(model1Model);
    Bapi_Flight_Getlist_Output output = new Bapi_Flight_Getlist_Output(model1Model);
    java.util.List<Bapisfldat> flight_List = new ArrayList<Bapisfldat>();
    output.setFlight_List(flight_List);
    wdContext.nodeBapi_Flight_Getlist_Input().bind(bapi_Flight_Getlist_Input);
and if you are using NWD 7.0 then the binding will be differ use below sample code to bind it.
Bapi_Flight_Getlist_Input input = new Bapi_Flight_Getlist_Input();
     input.setDestination_From(new Bapisfldst());
     input.setDestination_To( new Bapisfldst());
     wdContext.nodeBapi_Flight_Getlist_Input().bind(input);
PS: Also check the cardinality should be 1..n not 0:n.
Thanks

How do I stop Quicktime grabbing my web clips?

I recently installed Web Clips as part of Google Desktop and began receiving feeds to download podcasts - so far so good. When I click on the daily podcast, Mozilla pops up a box asking me if I want to save or open the file (and with what application). I click to save it on the Desktop then copy the file to my PDA for listening later. Perfect! BUT then I wanted to buy an MP3 album which I could only find on iTunes, so I had to install iTunes to visit the iTunes store. I didn't ASK for Quicktime, but that downloaded, too. Now, when I click on my podcast in WebClips, the Quicktime logo briefly appears and something similar to a new browser window opens, with a graphic like you get in Quicktime/Media Player to show where you're at in the clip (but no other settings). There's no way to get rid of this or to save the file. I've tried going into Quicktime and iTunes and unchecking any box that would make it act as the default for just about everything but it still persists in grabbing the podcast. The only way I can stop it is to completely uninstall Quicktime AND iTunes - so I'm back to not being able to use the iTunes store again. I thought only Microsoft was capable of this 'you-have-to-use- our-product-or-else' arrogance.

Yes, I deleted all the websites and reset everything to "ask" except p2p which I turned off.
Whenever I first go to any page with flash content (from reboot) my webcam becomes powered - note I don't mean that it is actually recording but of course there's no way you can tell that when the light comes on.
This phenomenon only started with the current flash update.
