LDAP FailOver in Custom Authentication

Has anyone implemented Directory Failover in Custom Authentication Module ?
Appreciate any relevant pointers
Thanks,
Janran

String hosts = "directory1 directory2";
ld.connect( hosts);
You can tune the connection policy with LDAPConnection.setConnSetupDelay. The default policy is LDAPConnection.NODELAY_SERIAL
With NODELAY_PARALLEL, the SDK will create threads that simultaneously attempt to connect to each of the specified hosts.
ld.setConnSetupDelay( LDAPConnection.NODELAY_SERIAL ); ld.setConnSetupDelay( LDAPConnection.NODELAY_PARALLEL ); ld.setConnSetupDelay( 10 ); // 10 seconds between threads

  • Custom Authenticator not returning correctly

    Hi,
    I have written a custom authenticator to automatically migrate users from an oracle
    SSO database into the default WLS8.1 realm (and ultimately to an LDAP Realm).
    It all works fine, except that the over all login process fails.
    The server is set up to use the default Authenticator initially (set to SUFFICIENT),
    then, if this fails, the Migration authenticator (set to REQUIRED) is called.
    If this finds the user on the Oracle db, it creates a user for them in the default
    realm, and logs them in.
    The problem is that even though my Migration Authenticator finishes successfully
    (ie the commit() method is executed and returns true) WLS still calls the login
    error page as set up in the web.xml file.
    The last few lines of the login() method of the authenticator are :
    loginSucceeded = true;
    addUserToWLSRealm(userId, userPassword);
    principalsForSubject.add(new WLSUserImpl(userId));
    then the commit() method is :
    public boolean commit() throws LoginException {
    if(loginSucceeded) {
    subject.getPrincipals().addAll(principalsForSubject);
    principalsInSubject = true;
    System.out.println("OracleSSOLoginModule.commit - true");
    return true;
    } else {
    System.out.println("OracleSSOLoginModule.commit - false");
    return false;
    If the user then tries to log in again, since they have been added to the WLS
    realm, they are let in, but it should happen on the first attempt.
    Any Ideas...?
    TIA

  • URGENT help required : Custom Authentication Plugin for validation of users

    Hi Experts.
    I'm a newbie and am stuck in middle of nowhere.
    I have been asked to develop a custom authentication plug-in which would validate a user using the attributes such as a userid and a shared-userid.
    shared-userid is just a custom id that would be generated on the basis of some logic.
    Currently I'm using OAM 10.1.4.3.0 on WINDOWS server and as everybody, I'm also not able to find any sample files or sample folder structure.
    As per one of the other threads https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=3838474, sample code and sample folders are removed from this particular version and were present in some previous version.
    So, can anyone please help me out with the following:
    1. How can I proceed to accomplish this task, i.e. to check whether a user-id and a shared-userid both are validated and a user is granted access.
    2. Are all of these files required to create a custom authentication plug-in or can we proceed only with the ".c" file (i.e. make file, authn.c, and a dll file made using the make file and .c file)
    3. Can anybody provide me with a sample file or a sample code written in "C" wherein the plug-in connects to the LDAP and searches for a particular dn for comparison or something. Also a sample make file for windows to convert the .c file to .dll.
    PLEASEEEE help me ASAP.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Regarding question 2, you also need the header file is supplied in the Access Server installation directory, under ...access\oblix\sdk\authn_api and is called authn_api.h. you need this to build the dll which must then be placed in the Access Server's ...\access\oblix\lib directory.
    Regarding question 3, if you install an earlier version of the Access Server, ie 10.1.4.2 or less, then you will get a \access\oblix\sdk\authentication\samples\authn_api directory that contains a basic sample authentication plugin. However, there is still documented in the 10.1.4.3 Developer Guide another sample plugin, simplapi.c, in the 10.1.4.3 Developer Guide with instructions on how to use it. It does work, but unfortunately requires a couple of edits to get it working after copy&pasting it (no code changes, just fairly obvious case changes eg changing ObanPlugin* to ObAnPlugin*). I used the following commands to get it to compile into a .so file on unix:
    g++44 -c -fPIC -Wno-deprecated -m32 simpleapi.c
    g++44 -shared -nostdlib -lc -m32 simpleapi.o -o simpleapi.so
    but I really would not know if or how these translate into a Windows environment.

  • Custom Authentication Module on Identity Server

    Hi,
    I have a custom authentication module which I am trying to access through the policy agent.
    I have set the following property in AMAgent.properties file
    com.sun.am.policy.am.loginURL= http://host:port/amserver/UI/Login?module=CustomLoginModule.
    My login module code is something like this:
    package com.iplanet.am.samples.authentication.providers;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.security.auth.Subject;
    import javax.security.auth.callback.Callback;
    import javax.security.auth.callback.NameCallback;
    import javax.security.auth.callback.PasswordCallback;
    import javax.security.auth.login.LoginException;
    import com.sun.identity.authentication.spi.AMLoginModule;
    import com.sun.identity.authentication.spi.AuthLoginException;
    import java.rmi.RemoteException;
    import java.io.FileInputStream;
    import java.util.Properties;
    public class LoginModule1 extends AMLoginModule
    private String userName;
    private String userTokenId;
    private HashMap usersMap;
    private java.security.Principal userPrincipal = null;
    public LoginModule1() throws LoginException
    public void init(Subject subject, Map sharedState, Map options)
              System.out.println("LoginModule1 initialization");
              usersMap = new HashMap();
              ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("users");
              Enumeration users = bundle.getKeys();
              while (users.hasMoreElements())
                   String user = (String)users.nextElement();
                   String password = bundle.getString(user.trim());
                   usersMap.put(user, password);
    public int process(Callback[] callbacks, int state) throws AuthLoginException
              int currentState = state;
              if (currentState == 1)
                   userName = ((NameCallback) callbacks[0]).getName().trim();
                   char[] passwd = ((PasswordCallback) callbacks[1]).getPassword();
                   String passwdString = new String (passwd);
                   if (userName.equals(""))
                        throw new AuthLoginException("names must not be empty");
                   if (userName.equals("testuser") && passwdString.equals("testuser"))
                        userTokenId = userName;
                        return -1;
                   if (usersMap.containsKey(userName))
                        if (usersMap.get(userName).equals(new String(passwd)))
                             userTokenId = userName;
                             return -1;
                   return 0;
         public java.security.Principal getPrincipal()
              if (userPrincipal != null)
                   return userPrincipal;
              else
              if (userTokenId != null)
                   userPrincipal = new SamplePrincipal("testuser");
                   return userPrincipal;
              else
                   return null;
    So When the user requests a protected resource, the policy agent forwards the user to Identity Server with the module as CustomLoginModule. However, after this, authentication does not succeed and I get the following error message in the agent log file.

    Does the principal "testuser" exist in your realm? If I understand your module correctly, it looks like it always returns "testuser".
    I am guessing that Access Manager is not finding your principal. Typically if access manager cannot associate the principal returned by the custom AMLoginModule it will fail the authentication.
    I am wondering if this is related to a seperate problem I have seen with custom login modules. Try chaning the code to return an LDAP style principal it may work:
    so return "uid=testuser,ou=People,dc=yourdomain,dc=com" for example. In theory this should not be necessary but it solved some problems for me, though I am not sure why.

  • Custom Authentication Provider and User Manage like SQLAuthenticator, How?

    Hi everyone,
    I faced a problem with login function of my portal (Webcenter Application). The Problem is:
    - Allow the users logging in by user that store in another system. I must communicate using low level of socket. This really is not a problem.
    - If user logged in, for first time of logging in, i must store them in some identity store (Maybe tables database).
    - View Users in Weblogic Console. To do that, i known that i must implemeted something that i dont what that are.

    Hi ,
    SQLAuthenticator is not yet supported with UCM 11g due to some JPS Provider limitations .

  • OWA_SEC.CUSTOM package - Custom authentication procedures...

    Folks -
    I haven't ever used the OWA_SEC.CUSTOM package for custom authentication of a psp application - and now need to do so. The documentation doesn't have any examples of what I need to do. Although there is plenty of documentation - it all says the same stuff, without saying what developers need to do to get it to work.
    For example I have updated the following files in the following ways - and still it doesn't work:
    owapriv.sql - updated the line that says:
    auth_scheme := OWA_SEC.NO_CHECK;
    to :
    auth_scheme := OWA_SEC.CUSTOM;
    owacust.sql - updated to say:
    create or replace package body OWA_CUSTOM is
    /* Global PLSQL Agent Authorization callback function - */
    /* It is used when PLSQL Agent's authorization scheme is set to */
    /* GLOBAL or CUSTOM when there is overriding OWA_CUSTOM package.*/
    /* This is a default implementation. User should modify. */
    function authorize return boolean is
    v_username varchar2(30);
    v_pass varchar2(30);
    BEGIN
    owa_sec.set_authorization(OWA_SEC.CUSTOM);
    owa_sec.set_protection_realm('my_app');
    v_username := owa_sec.get_user_id;
    v_pass := owa_sec.get_password;
    IF v_username = 'cmanning' THEN
    return TRUE;
    ELSE
    return FALSE;
    END IF;
    end;
    end;
    show errors
    wdbsvrapp.sql looks like this:
    [DAD_mydad]
    connect_string = my_connect_string
    password = my_password
    username = my_username
    default_page = my_default_package.procedure
    ;document_table =
    ;document_path =
    ;document_proc =
    ;upload_as_long_raw =

    reuse = Yes
    connmax = 20
    ;pathalias =
    ;pathaliasproc =
    enablesso = No
    ;custom_auth =
    Can anyone tell me what I am missing / doing wrong.
    For example:
    When I take out the username/password reference from the wdbsvr.app file - the browswer tries to authenticate me and the only username/password that validates is the username/password of the database user.
    I don't want to have to have database users for every application user that should be authenticated in my application. I want to put a routine in the owacust.sql file that authenticates users (via my own routine or an optional LDAP/radius/SecurID lookup). In this basic example - I am only validating with the cmanning/cmanning combination.
    From what I understand in the documentation - if I use OWA_SEC.CUSTOM - then I don't have to put a .authorize function in every package - the OWA agent simply authenticates every request via the OWA_CUSTOM.authorize function.....
    Dude - what's up?
    Can someone from the Big O help a brother out?

    It looks to me like you want your users authenticated when they try to view your pl/sql-generated html pages, but you want to control the validation with custom code.
    You appear to be trying to use owa_custom.authorize to authorize each request, which seems like a good approach.
    This whole area is quite complex and I have never found any really comprehensive doco on it. Here are my thoughts which others might like to comment on.
    This is a simple version of owa_custom:
    PACKAGE BODY OWA_CUSTOM IS
    FUNCTION authorize return boolean is
    BEGIN
    owa_sec.set_protection_realm('aRealm');
    if owa.user_id is null then
    return false;
    else
    return my_validate_user
    (owa.user_id,owa.get_password);
    end if;
    exception
    RETURN FALSE;
    END authorize;
    begin
    owa_sec.set_authorization(OWA_SEC.GLOBAL);
    end;
    Note the begin block that applies to the package and sets authorization to GLOBAL when the package is loaded.
    The authentication mode in the DAD will need to be Global Owa (afaik) and you will need to supply an oracle username and password in the DAD. ie. you will authenticate the userid/password supplied by the user and then the user will connect to the database as the oracle user specified in the DAD.
    I cannot test this code at the moment. Nor can I give you complete instructions to set up authentication from scratch. But here's a brief description of what the code should do.
    1. It sets authorization to GLOBAL. So mod_plsql will call owa_custom.authorize for every request. That is, you don't call owa_custom.authorize, it will be done for you and the internals probably look like this:
    if owa_custom.authorize then
    user_requesed_page(user_supplied_args);
    else
    send_access_denied;
    end if;
    2. It sets up a realm, which is relevant to HTTP Basic Authentication and its challenge/response. (You don't have to use HTTP Basic Authentication. An alternative is to present a login form to the user, then you manage the userid/password.)
    3. It looks in owa.user_id which will hold the userid supplied by the browser after a HTTP Basic Authentication challenge/response.
    4. It uses your custom code to validate the userid and password once the user has been challenged to provide these. You obviously have to create the my_validate_user procedure in the schema and package of your choice.
    5. It does not time users out, it does not sustain multi-sessions per user via cookies and it does not support logout without shutting the browsers. But it is simpler for lacking these features.
    If this is a way you want to try then your first aim should be to make sure owa_custom is called globally and that it lets you into the database via the DAD-supplied userid and password. You may need some way of writing debug on the server using utl_file to confirm it is being called. Or you could make it return true unconditionally, request a page, then make it return false and request a page.
    This is just a start, but let me know if it is on topic.
    It would be great to hear suggestions and comments from others on authentication for an htp application under iAS.
    Has anyone tried DB Prism?

  • Can Actions Menu of Interactive Reports work with Custom Authentication?

    My testing is leading my to believe that Actions Menu do not work with Custom Authentication (but only work with APEX Authentication) in APEX 3.1.2? If that's true then is there a work around to this?
    Just to clarify, I've posted/asked this question twice before:
    1) Re: Actions Menu in Interactive Reports does not sort, filter, select cols etc
    2) Interactive Report actions don't work for users (i.e. for non-developers)
    But I've come to believe this is the main problem. I just don't know how to resolve/work around this?
    Thanks for any help.

    I haven't setup a sample because my custom authentication is using LDAP authentication. I'm not sure how I can replicate that on the samples server?
    I'm using LDAP authentication with a Page Sentry function. My further testing reveals that the Page Sentry function is setting the APEX variable user to NULL (ie blank) whenever there's any code in the Page Sentry function box. PL/SQL code as simple as
    BEGIN return TRUE; END;
    in the Page Sentry function box sets the "user" is set to <null>. When the Page sentry function box is left empty (no code specified) it sets the "user" properly after authentication against the specified LDAP directory.
    What all this has to do with Interactive Reports...
    It seems like when the user is NULL it messes-up Interactive Reports that are stored in the flows database. Although it shows the default report properly, but no runtime interactive actions (filtering, sorting, column break, etc.) work.
    Can someone please correct or confirm this?
    Thanks.

  • Restful Web Services - First Party Authentication with custom authentication schemes

    Hi
    I've successfully enabled security using first party authentication on our Restful web services however these only work with the built in Apex accounts and not other authentication schemes.
    Ideally I'd like to authenticate against LDAP, however when I enable this authentication scheme the restful services don't work as they only support the Apex accounts. 
    Has anyone implemented LDAP authentication for Apex restful web services, either directly or using Glassfish ? Does anyone know if support for custom authentication schemes on the feature roadmap for a future Listener release ?
    I attempted to configure the glassfish application against LDAP but am still working on it.. glassfish never challenged the client to authenticate (it's only to be for the web service endpoints and nothing else), so any pointers on how to set that up for Apex would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Kes

    Hi Gemma,
    unfortunately at the moment you are caught between a rock and a hard place:
    - As you point out there is no way in APEX for a user to self-register themselves, short of developing your own table to store users and configuring APEX custom auth to authenticate against that table
    - Listener can only authenticate against the the APEX user repository, it cannot integrate with custom APEX authentication.
    There may be other options though, by leveraging the authentication capabilities in the JRE and/or WebLogic/GlassFish application servers. We're interested in addressing this use case, so if you wish to investigate further please send me an email ( colm <dot> divilly <at> oracle <dot> com).
    Thanks,

  • OBIEE 10g Java Custom Authenticator

    I've scoured the web and these forums and I think I know the answer, but I'll ask anyways.
    I need to write a custom authenticator. I want to write it in Java if I can. I see there is an 'obicustomauthenticator.jar' in /OracleBI/web/sdk. Any chance I can use that and hook it in so that I can avoid having to do this in C++? If so, how?
    Thanks in advance

    Yup, saw that. Might just go with it as we're also considering migrating to OBI 11g in the not-too-distant future.
    IIRC, the SSO solution only passes USER info, not groups along w/ it so wrapping OBI w/ a thin Java Security webapp won't work.You can pass custom variables via SSO so you could potentially pass a variable with a concatenated list of groups and then break them up in rows in an Init Block.Hmm. Have any specifics re: that option? Would likely work as well for us, but I'm a bit unclear how you get other variables from SSO into OBI...

  • Setting a OAM custom authentication response

    I'm working on OAM 11.1.1.5.0 BP03 and trying to use a custom authentication plugin to add a response to the HTTP header. I need to add information to the HTTP header that cannot be provided by a response on the Protected Resource Policy.
    I can see using log entries that my plugin is working but I have a sample JSP landing page that OAM redirects to that just dumps out request.getHeaderNames and I don't see the value set by the plugin.
    I was assuming that the PluginResponse class would suit my needs but I've tried every type of PluginAttributeContextType and cannot get it to work.
    Is this possible? What code should I have written?
    Here's a sample of what I tried:
              PluginResponse response = new PluginResponse();
              response.setName("OAM_TEST_KEY");
              response.setType(PluginAttributeContextType.CLIENT);
              response.setValue("TESTVALUE");
              context.addResponse(response);

    Hi Ewan,
    Instead of writing a custom plugin and maintaining it in case future upgrades is going to be cumbersome. I would suggest introduce OVD in your environment. Create a Join Adapter. This Adapter would join your LDAP server and AD Server users using employee ID. That way you can use a supported configuration and avoid writing a plugin. Now the user visible to OAM via OVD would have the LDAP attribute of AD username and hence you can set it as a header variable. Or you can setup Sync between your LDAP and AD. Most of the industry standard LDAP servers such as OID, ODSEE etc allow you to sync user information. That way you can fetch AD username attribute to your LDAP server. It doesn't need to have same attribute in your LDAP server. It can be stored in any attribute of LDAP server with a valid value. All you need to do is set header variable using attribute which contains the AD username attribute value.

  • New server and/or CA certificate for connection from custom authentication

    We are running Access Manager version 72005Q4 in the Sun ONE Web Server 6.1SP5 B06/23/2005 container with java build 1.5.0_07-b03. I run a custom authentication module which checks sessions against our university single sign on system which is CAS (from Yale/Jasig). The checks are essentially https calls. All this has been working well for us for the last couple of years.
    I would like to migrate the certificate used on the university CAS system from a Verisign certificate to a wildcard certificate issued by the IPS CA in spain -- these are in most browsers but are not in the standard batch of cacerts CA's -- and are free for .edu domains.
    My other java based authentication plugins (Blackboard, custom apps etc) have worked fine once I import the certificate into the cacerts for the java container, but I'm missing something (obvious probably) about importing this certificate so that my amserver custom authentication module can connect to the CAS server once the CAS server is using the new certificate.
    Could anyone provide guidance on where I need to import this server certificate (or preferably the IPS CA) in order to allow the custom authentication module to work properly? I assume this same problem has been solved by people wishing to connect from the amserver to services with self signed certificates. For some reason I'm finding the debugging unexpectedly difficult, I'll outline some of those details below.
    Relevant things I've tried so far:
    Import both the server cert and the IPS CA into the cacerts of the java container identified in the web server server.xml /usr/jdk/entsys-j2se.
    Import the IPS CA into the web server cert8 style db via the web admin server.
    The debugging has surprised me a bit, as I'm not getting an error that is explicitly SSL related error. It almost seems like the URLConnection object ends up using a HttpURLConnection rather than an HttpsURLConnection and never gives me a cert error, rather a connection refused since there is no non SSL service running on CAS. The same code pointed to the server running the verisign cert works as expected.

    The fact that this same code in other authentication modules running outside the amserver (in other web containers as well, tomcat and resin for example) running java 1.5 works fine with the new CA, as well as with self signed certs that I've imported into the appropriate cacerts file leads me to believe that I'm either importing the certificate into the wrong store, or that there is some additional step needed for the amserver in the Sun Web container.
    Thank you very much for any insights and help,
    Ethan

    I thought since this has had a fair number of views I would give an update.
    I have been able to confirm that the custom authentication module is using the cert8 db defined in the AMConfig property com.iplanet.am.admin.cli.certdb.dir as documented. I do seem to have a problem using the certificate to make outgoing connections, even though the certificate verifies correctly for use as a server certificate. This is likely a question for a different forum, but just to show what I'm looking at:
    root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -V -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -u V
    certutil: certificate is valid
    root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -V -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -u C
    certutil: certificate is invalid: Certificate type not approved for application.
    root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -M -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -t uP,uP,uP
    root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -V -l -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -u C
    FSU Wildcard Certificate : Certificate type not approved for application.
    So it could be that I don't understand how to use the certutiil to get the permissions I want, or it could be that using the same certificate for both server and client functions is not supported -- though you can see why this would be a common case with wildcard certificates.
    BTW for those interested, it did seem to be the case that when the certificate failure occurred that the attempt was then made by the URLConnection to bind to port 80 in cleartext even though the URL was clearly https. I'm sure this was just an attempt to help out misformed URL, but it seemed that the URLConnection implementation in the amserver would swapped traffic over cleartext if that port had been open on the server I was making the https connection to; that seems dangerous to me, I would not have wanted it to quietly work that way exposing sensitive information to the network.
    This was why I was getting back a connection refused instead of a certificate exception. The URLConnection implementation used by the amserver is defined by java.protocol.handler.pkgs=com.iplanet.services.comm argument passwd to the JVM, and I imagine this is done because the amserver pre-dates the inclusion of the sun.net.www.protocol handlers, but I don't know, there maybe reasons why the amserver wants it own handler. I only noticed that this is what was going on when I as casting the httpsURLConnection objects to other types trying to diagnose the certificate problem. I would be interested in hearing if anyone knows if there is a reason not to use sun.net.www.protocol with the amserver.
    After switching to the sun.net.www.protocol handler I was able to get my certificate errors rather than the "Connection Refused" which is what lead me to the above questions about certutil.

    Can anyone have any ideas?
    I have narrowed it down to having a problem retrieving the role and policy consumer services I believe
    Thanks,
    Bobby.

    Hi All,
    Found the reason for the exception. I was implementing the generated the CustomAuthenticatorImpl class (generated through WebLogic MBeanMaker utility) as the provider class by implementing the AuthenticationProvider interface. Keeping them separate solved the issue.
    Able to create the jar without any issues and also no error or exception after restart.
    Thanks.

  • Custom Authentication Issue with Policy Agent

    Hi,
    I have a custom authentication module which is hosted on the BEA application server and I am trying to access through the policy agent on apache.
    I have set the following property in AMAgent.properties file
    com.sun.am.policy.am.loginURL= http://host:port/amserver/UI/Login
    So When the user requests a protected resource, the policy agent forwards the user to Identity Server with the module as CustomLoginModule. However, after this, authentication is succeed, user sesion is being created and I get the following error message in the agent log file.
