J_security_check question

Hello,
I am using form based authentication with j_security_check and everything works fine as expected. But, in my web application i have different different roles. How do i specify the success url for these different roles? I have only one login page and different roles. Say suppose Admin logs in then he should be redirected to /Admin/home.jsp and for general users it should be /General/home.jsp? I saw that there are no success url's to specify for this. Only when a user tries to access restricted resource he is redirected to log in page. But what if my users directly visit the log in page? and sign in there?
Do i have any other option except j_security_check? I don't want to programmatically code for JAAS. I want container managed security only. I even tried HttpServletRequest#login(), but it is also not working as expected. Can somebody throw some light upon it? Why is that method in HttpServletRequest? If at all this method is there, it should have been at session level in HttpSession. But what is it doing at request level?
Futher, i even tried putting a filter on j_security_check but my filter never gets executed. I am using Glassfish V3 and Netbeans 6.8.
Please help me. I'm stuck.

Sorry - figured it out.

Automatic "j_security_check" form login submission question

I've been using J2EE 1.4 declarative security with no problems.
It works great. I define the security constraints to the server and
when the relevant pages are hit the login.jsp page gets invoked
where users can login. I happen to be using Tomcat 5 right now, but again it all works fine.
But now I have to receive http User Login requests from a non-java server and automatically log the user in if they were logged in on the prior server since I support the same User-Ids/Passwords.
My question is simple and may only be an HTML trick. On the login page code specifically for users where I already have their User-Id and Password how do I auto-submit the form without requiring user's to press the "submit" button? For this type of user where I know the UserID and Password I will not have any displayed HTML since the user does not have to do anything. For traditional manual login, I always used the following format with the submit button, but again, now I want to bypass the JSP/JSTL/HTML display and submit automatically (using code) instead of requiring the user to press the submit button.
<form method="POST" action="j_security_check" >
<input type="text" name="j_username" size="8" maxlength="8" />
<input type="password" name="j_password" value="FMTPPSWD" size="8" maxlength="8" />
<input type="submit" value=" Login " />
</form>
Help!
I've already orchestrated the solution in my login.jsp configuration to separate between the JSP Display page supporting manual login (using jsp:forward) and non-display auto-login. So my question is only how do I submit a form programatically without using the submit button?
Thanks.

For the benefit of others here is the JSP/JSTL & javascript solution.
This allowed me to create an automated login and use declarative security ...
The following code requires param.UserID and param.PassWord to be set before it is executed...
<form name="AutoLogin" method="POST" action="j_security_check" >
<input type="hidden" name="j_username" value="<%= request.getParameter("UserID") %>" size="8" maxlength="8" />
<input type="hidden" name="j_password" value="<%= request.getParameter("PassWord") %>" size="8" maxlength="8" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
document.AutoLogin.submit();
</script>

J_security_check and cookies

Hi all. Im on a WLCS 3.5 with WLS 6.0 and am using Form based authentication against
the RDBMS realm of the commerce server. The login page has a j_username and a
j_password. If i want to add a check box for the user to approve to store a cookie
on his machine, I cant get this new parameter out when it is passed to the j_security_check.
After the user is authenticated, i dont have his password for storing it in a
cookie. It seems that after j_security-check authenticates, the request object
notes any parameters. How do i store cookies then ? If i do , does the password
needs to be encrypted in the cookie ? How do i know if the user has been already
authenticated . Is there a boolean isAuthenticated() method ? Sorry, if this question
belongs to interest.security. Since it belongs to WLCS_USER of the WLSC RDBMS
Realm, i posted here.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Mallik

BTW Servlet 2.3 specs says this:
~
J2EE.12.5.3.1 Login Form Notes
Form based login and URL based session tracking can be problematic to implement.
Form based login should be used only when sessions are being maintained by
cookies or by SSL session information.
~
This is very vague statement as it does not say form based login cannot use url rewriting. This is what the same specs say about sessions:
~
SRV.7.1.3 URL Rewriting
URL rewriting is the lowest common denominator of session tracking. When a
client will not accept a cookie, URL rewriting may be used by the server as the basis
for session tracking. URL rewriting involves adding data, a session id, to the URL
path that is interpreted by the container to associate the request with a session.
The session id must be encoded as a path parameter in the URL string. The
name of the parameter must be jsessionid. Here is an example of a URL
containing encoded path information:
http://www.myserver.com/catalog/index.html;jsessionid=1234
SRV.7.1.4 Session Integrity
Web containers must be able to support the HTTP session while servicing HTTP
requests from clients that do not support the use of cookies. To fulfil this
requirement, web containers commonly support the URL rewriting mechanism.

J_security_check not redirecting after authentication - in one environment

Hi all,
I have a J2EE web application developed in JDeveloper 10.1.3 which uses JAAS security with a custom authentication provider class. I can configure this is both a windows and unix based OC4J. The windows OC4J is stand alone, the unix one is part of a managed instance (OPMN).
When I deploy to windows, attempts to access a protected resource cause the authentication to fire off perfectly and redirect to the appropriate url after login is successful. Absolutely no problems.
When I deploy to unix with the same configuration, the authentication fires off perfectly but after authentication the redirect attempts to go to Base URL/j_security_check which results in a 404 not found as j_security_check is a logical name and not a real url.
I have tried setting the ocfj.formauth.redirect flag in the oc4j startup options and this did not seen to help. I still got the 404 error.
Can anyone advise me on whether there are any switches or parameters I need to set for the j_security_check redirection to work correctly, or is there something else I need to do in a unix (Solaris) environment to cause the redirections to work?
thanks for any suggestions
Ben

Hi,
you are always seeing the j_security_check in the URL. It seems that this problem is OC4J rekated and I suggest to post the question on the Application Server or the J2EE forum here on OTN

J_security_check 404 error Please please help me

I am new to this forum although I have been lurking around for while:)
I have a question about j_security_check.
I am working in Apache Tomcat server and I want to set up form based authentication. So I used j_security_check and I get an error 404 j_security_check page not found.
I am not sure how this is supposed to work.
1. Am I supposed to load the secured pages before I login and j_security_check should send me to the login.jsp page?
Or should I start with teh login.jsp page and if my login is incorrect, then I cannot load any page? (until I login correctly)
I always get 404 j_sedurity_check not found when I try to click submit button in login.jsp page and when I try to open other pages (even without login) I am able to open.
Can you please help me?

Hi, Thanks. That works. I changed *.jsp tp \* and it works. Thanks.
Now I have another error:
When I load any page, it takes to login.jsp and I enter the user id and password and if it is correct, it takes me to some image (this is one of the images in the images folder that I have). I have no clue why it goes to that always, when login is successful. It doesn't go to the originally requested page.
What do I have tyo set up to make that happen (meaning if I start with one_two.jsp, it takes me to login.jsp and after I login, I want one_two.jsp to come automatically? How to do that?)
Thanks in advance.

LoginModule + LoginContext question

Hello there! I'm using a classical j_security_check security authentication approach. I've created a LoginModule (extends Jboss' UserNamePasswordLoginModule) and so far things have been workin fine. Well now I need to have a more complex control, so I decided to not use j_security_check. Instead I'll call a struts action and this one calls my SessionBean how starts the process.
I've read JAAS documentation and it fails in a crucial point, the client view of process. It does not explain how to instantiate a LoginContext's Configuration and how to pass the username/password provided. I mean it's easy through j_security_chek cuz it does everthing for you.
So I'd like to know:
1st. How to set my configuration (changing java policy properties seems to ackward to me, since It's a EAR application and should not be that intrusive)
2nd. How do I set my username/password to be accessible through my Callback interface?
What I've done is:
LoginContext lc = new LoginContext("myLoginModule"); // this name is set on my jboss-web.xml as java:/jaas//myLoginModule
lc.Login()I'm sure I'm doing everthing (or almost) wrong, since this does not work.
Could someone give me some directions???
Thanks and regards

Hi..
If you are implementing on an appserver, you would be manipulating the server.policy files instead of the java.policy file directly.
For callback interface.. maybe u've already seen this example but u can basically create a callbackhandler that takes the username/password in the constructor. This way u can pass your callback handler to the logincontext. I maybe stating the obvious to u..
I couldnt gather enough information from ur question to see what ur situation is -- might be able to share some ideas with u.. do elaborate on what u're working on

Question/Concern Regarding HTTPS Connection

Perhaps this question belongs under security; perhaps it belongs here. Regardless, here's my concern:
I have an application running under a secure HTTPS connection, and I want and expect the secure connection to begin as soon as the login page loads. When the login page (login.jsp) loads the URL indicates that I have a secure HTTPS connection. However, I'm not seeing the lock icon that contains my certificate until after I login. Is my login screen connection secure? I'm guessing not. The security-constraint/login-config portion of my web.xml file follows. Am I missing an element? Thanks!
<security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
      <web-resource-name>Reserve</web-resource-name>
      <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
      <role-name>comm</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
    <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
    <form-login-config>
      <form-login-page>/login.jsp</form-login-page>
      <form-error-page>/login_error.jsp</form-error-page>
    </form-login-config>
</login-config>
<session-config>
    <session-timeout>10</session-timeout>
</session-config>

Thanks for your reply, although I'm still not fully convinced I have a secure connection. My form action is only set to 'j_security_check' . It's the standard Tomcat login form.
<form method="POST" action='j_security_check' >I also added a CONFIDENTIAL user-data-constraint element to my web.xml.
Still no lock. A book I read suggests that I do indeed have a secure, encrypted connection. I still have my doubts. Any other thoughts/ideas are greatly appreciated. This is one I can't afford to be wrong about!

J2EE Engine Web Administration: 404 on /admin/j_security_check

Environment: sneak-preview from June (the latest version), running on a Linux machine.
I'm trying to run the SAP J2EE Engine Web Administration application - i.e. http://b3.lab:50000/admin/LoginForm.jsp .
If I use J2EE_ADMIN/ADMIN for the user/password, I get a 404 screen, for the URL http://b3.lab:50000/admin/j_security_check (The requested resource does not exist.
Details:
Go to main page of this application!)
Note that this is different from a wrong user or password - in this case I get a http://b3.lab:50000/admin/LoginError.html page with an "incorrect username or password" - which is the expected outcome.
Any idea if the application is supposed to work?
BTW - I'm getting quite a few exceptions on other apps as well. For example - the "PC-shop" -> browse -> printer -> click-any-printer gets the exception below:
java.lang.NullPointerException
     at jsp_details1121113843848._jspService(jsp_details1121113843848.java:8)

     at com.sap.engine.services.servlets_jsp.server.servlet.JSPServlet.service(JSPServlet.java:181)
     at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853)
TIA!

I'm popping up this questions, and raise
Is there any non-trivial J2EE example application that is deployed / can be "tutorially" deployed on the sneak preview Linux version? By non-trivial I mean that it has web, ejb and db portions? (which is pretty modest requirements, I think).
Thank you,

Questions on Print Quote report

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Oracle Quoting and trying to get familiar with it. I have a few questions and would appreciate if anyone answers them
1) We have a requirement to customize the Print Quote report. I searched these forums and found that this report can be defined either as a XML Publisher report or an Oracle Reports report depending on a profile option. Can you please let me know what the name of the profile option is?
2) When I select the 'Print Quote' option from the Actions drop down in the quoting page and click Submit I get the report printed and see the following URL in my browser.
http://<host>:<port>/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?PROJ03_APPS+report=/proj3/app/appltop/aso/11.5.0/reports/US/ASOPQTEL.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+P_TCK_ID=23731428+P_EXECUTABLE=N+P_SHOW_CHARGES=N+P_SHOW_CATG_TOT=N+P_SHOW_PRICE_ADJ=Y+P_SESSION_ID=c-RAuP8LOvdnv30grRzKqUQs:S+P_SHOW_HDR_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_LINE_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_HDR_SALESUPP=N+P_SHOW_LN_SALESUPP=N+TOLERANCE=0+DESFORMAT=RTF+DESNAME=Quote.rtf
Does it mean that the profile in our case is set to call the rdf since it has reference to ASOPQTEL.rdf in the above url?
3) When you click on submit button do we have something like this in the jsp code: On click call ASOPQTEL.rdf. Is the report called using a concurrent program? I want to know how the report is getting invoked?
4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
Thanks and Appreciate your patience

No, there is no conc program getting called, you can directly call a report in a browser window, Oracle reports server will execute the report and send the HTTP response to the browser.4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
This is detailed in many threads.Thanks

Satellite P300D-10v - Question about warranty

HI EVERYBODY
I have these overheating problems with my laptop Satellite P300D-10v.
I did everything I could do to fix it without any success..
I get the latest update of the bios from Toshiba. I cleaned my lap with compressed air first and then disassembled it all and cleaned it better.(it was really clean insight though...)
BUT unfortunately the problem still exists...
So i made a research on the internet and I found out that most of Toshiba owners have the same exactly problem with their laptop.
Well i guess this is a Toshiba bug for many years now.
Its a really nice lap, cool sound (the best in laptop ever) BUT......
So I wanted to make a question. As i am still under warranty, can i return this laptop and get my money back or change it with a different one????
If any body knows PLS let me know.
chears
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have already found you other threads.
Regarding the warranty question;
If there is something wrong with the hardware then the ASP in your country should be able to help you.
The warranty should cover every reparation or replacement.
But I read that you have disasembled the laptop at your own hand... hmmm if you have disasembled the notebook then your warrany is not valid anymore :(
I think this should be clear for you that you can lose the warrany if you disasemble the laptop!
By the way: you have to speak with the notebook dealer where you have purchased this notebook if you want to return the notebook
The Toshiba ASP can repair and fix the notebook but you will not get money from ASP.

Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either. I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either. Anybody...?
Thanks!

there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

Basic question

Hello, i have a basic question. if i have defined 2 fields in a cube or a dso:
Name Quantity
and from the external flat file i get some characters for my quantity field. would my load fail? for standard dso and for write optimized?
NOTE: quantity field is a keyfigure defined as numeric.
and the load coming in has "VIKPATEL" for Quantity field and not numbers.
thanks

Hi Vik,
Yes, the load will fail.
May be you coud first load this data into BW (into PSA) and set both fields as characters fields. Then you can create DSO, do transformation from this PSA to the DSO, and put your logic as to what do you want to do with those Quantity that is not number (e.g. convert to 0, or 'Not assgined', etc).
You can use transfer rule, or a clean up ABAP code in the start routine.
Hope this helps.

Mid 2010 15" i5 Battery Calibration Questions

Hi, I have a mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz i5.
Question 1: I didn't calibrate my battery when I first got my MacBook Pro (it didn't say in the manual that I had to). I've had it for about a month and am doing a calibration today, is that okay? I hope I haven't damaged my battery? The calibration is only to help the battery meter provide an accurate reading of how much life it has remaining, right?
Question 2: After reading Apple's calibration guide, I decided to set the MacBook Pro to never go to sleep (in Energy Saver System Preference) and leave it on overnight so it would run out of power and go to sleep, then I'd leave it in that state for at least 5 hours before charging it. When I woke up, the light on the front wasn't illuminated. It usually pulsates when in Sleep. Expectedly, it wouldn't wake when pressing buttons on the keyboard. So, what's happened? Is this Safe Sleep? I didn't see any "Your Mac is on reserve battery and will shut down" dialogues or anything similar, as I was asleep! I've left it in this state while I'm at work and will charge it this afternoon. Was my described method okay for calibration or should I have done something different?
Question 3: Does it matter how quickly you drain your battery when doing a calibration? i.e is it okay to drain it quickly (by running HD video, Photo Booth with effects etc) or slowly (by leaving it idle or running light apps)?
Thanks.

A1. You're fine calibrating the battery now. You might have gotten more accurate readings during the first month if you'd done it sooner, but no harm has been done.
A2. Your machine has NOT shut down; it has done exactly what it was supposed to do. When the power became critically low, it first wrote the contents of RAM to the hard drive, then went to sleep. When the battery was completely drained some time later, the MBP went into hibernation and the slepp light stopped pulsing and turned off. In that state the machine was using no power at all, but the contents of your RAM were still saved. Once the AC adapter was connected, a press of the power button would cause those contents to be reloaded, and the machine would pick up again exactly where you left off. It is not necessary to wait for the battery to be fully charged before using the machine on AC power, but do leave the AC adapter connected for at least two hours after the battery is fully charged. Nothing that you say you've done was wrong, and nothing that you say has happened was wrong.
A3. No, it does not matter.

Jabber/WebEx Connect SSO Questions

I've got a few questions around exactly what needs to be done to get SAML working for our Connect accounts to successfully authenticate from Jabber for Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android.
We have both a Meeting Center and Connect account under WebEx using Loose Coupled Integration. Just this past week I enabled SAML for our Meeting Center accounts which went off without a hitch with the exception of Meeting Center integration with Jabber, which is now broken with a message about SSO enabled Meeting Sites not being supported (I think this would maybe be fixed if we had Tight Coupled Integration with our two account?).
Anyway, my questions are...
For Windows, I understand all clients will need to be reinstalled with the MSI argument for the SSO_ORG_DOMAIN switch I've read about, is that correct? Are there any other switches needed for the reinstall?
How will this work with the Mac and mobile clients? There's obviously no command line options to specify for the installations here, will they just know to kick over to my IdP for authentication once they see an email address that falls under an org with SSO enabled? If so, why does the Windows client need to be completely reinstalled and not just know to find the IdP from the Cloud Connect service like Meeting Center does with the Productivity Tools?
We're just doing this for our Connect Web IM accounts, not attempting any sort of SSO with the phone accounts/UC integration yet.
Any ideas on getting the Meeting Center integration into Jabber working again?

I'd suggest posting your question over on the Jabber Pilot forum, as this forum is specific to Jabber Guest questions:
