Linking between Web Servers

All,
Looking for more of a high-level answer than a detailed technical one. Is there a way to link a user logged into one web server to a completely independent web server, where the first web server has the credentials for the second web server, and those credentials should not be passed to the user's computer in any format?
Put another way, User is logged into Web Server 1. Web Server 1 has credentials (username/password) for the User on Web Server 2. Those credentials should not be passed to the User; however they are required to link the User into Web Server 2.
One solution is to have Web Server 1 make an API call to Web Server 2 with the credentials; have Web Server 2 issue temporary credentially that expire; and then pass these credentials to from Web Server 1 to the User.
I'm curious if there is another solution where Web Server 1 logs directly into Web Server 2, and then "proxies" Web Server 2's session back to the User. If so, is this easy to implement on Web Server 1? What is this called?
Thanks,
Kevin

Ports required for communication between Web servers and service applications (the default is HTTP)

We're using SharePoint 2010, I'm the system admin for a SharePoint farm. We enabled SharePoint Search by adding a Search Service APplication. One of the crawl report timer job is failing every 5 minte with the error "Cannot connect to remote server".
After digging around, we found that the server running the timer job tries to connect to the SearchAdmin.svc on the index server, over HTTPS / port 32844 However, communication over SSL via a non default port is blocked by our firewall.
According to this article: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262849.aspx the default is HTTP for communication
between web servers. How is it possible that it's trying to connect over SSL?

Failed to retrieve data from the database/invalid argument provided when employing link between two web services datasources

Post Author: vpost
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I am trying to join information from two related web services within CR XI. I have successfully set up the web services as data sources have been able to get to the point where I get good data back. However, when I try to pull in certain fields, I get an error that says "Failed to retrieve data from the database/invalid argument provided". Here's the scenario:
The web services are structured as follows:Web Service 1 (Artist) has attributes of Artist Name and Date of Birth.Web Service 2 (CD) has attributes of CD Title and Release Date. Underneath each CD are songs, each of which have a Song Title and Artist Name.
I have defined both web services and defined a link between Artist.Artist Name and CD/Song.Artist Name. I am able to run a report with Song Title and Date of Birth that crosses web services. I am able to run another report with Song Title and CD Title that crosses the different levels in the second web service. However, if I add CD Title to the first report or Date of Birth to the second (both of which effectively force CR to employ the link between the two web services AND the CD/Song hierarchical structure in the second web service, I get the aforementioned error.
Any assistance understanding how multiple web services can be linked in this manner would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure about your exact situation, but having similar problem with another application and have tracked down to security. Added user to group Domain Admin and it works fine. It appears to be accessing a subdirectory which it does not have permission to use and then times out and returns the "invalid....". Seems that once the query just over a certain size (and I'm not sure what triggers this) it needs to make use of temparory file disk, intead of ram.
I'm still trying to track down which temporary it's trying to uses - so if you have any ques.

How to link between 2 servlets which are in 2 diferent servers

I tried to move between 2 servlets which are residing in 2 different servers using the response.Redirect("myurl") method but when i try to return from the second servlet it gave me an error saying the response has been committed. I also tried using the request.getRequestDispatcher("myurl") method but this method does not seem to work as the servlets are in different servers. Anyone who have encountered this problem before please help. Thanks

A RequestDispatcher only works within one JVM so cannot be used in your case. sendRedirect() causes the client to request the second servlet. To return to the first servlet, you need to sendRedirect() again. Basically, there is no link between the two servlets and you are communicating via the client (presumably a browser). You cannot pass session or servlet context attributes between the two servlets because they ruin in separate JVMs.
If you're already using sendRedirect() in boht places and the second servlet is giving an error, then there's a problem with that servlet. Perhaps you could post the code and the error.
If you want direct communication between the servlets, you need to custom build a link using HTTP, RMI or other protocols. There are many examples on this forum.

Toggle between Web Items using an Image link in WAD 7.0

Hello,
i want to toggle between Web items using an image link: e.g. on my template I have a visible table and a hidden chart, now when I click on a small chart image I want the table to get hidden and the chart to get visible. I know that this is possible using a button group, but I need to make this possible using an image.
My approach is the following:
1. Using a script item with 2 commands of type SET_ITEM_PARAMETERS from the command wizard, from which one command hides the table and one command makes the chart visible.
2. Writing a hyperlink which calls up the script using the image as source.
Now my problem:
This works only if I'm using ONE command of type SET_ITEM_PARAMETERS in the script function. So I can either make the chart visible or hide the table. When I insert a second command in the java script nothing works anymore. However, I need to use both commands at once in order to make it useful. I don't know how to program in javascript, can you help me out?!
Thanks,
Norbert
PS: I could show you the javascript code which was created automatically by the web application designer including both commands, but as I've just seen it in the preview it looks totally messed up since it doesn't get formatted corrected.

Hi Norbert,
There is an easier approach. In the button group item, you can insert an image and a description. Just open the parameters of your button there you will find the parameter 'icon'. Insert an image there and leave the 'caption' empty.
Best regards,
Janine

Create or remove link between a webi doc and a category with SDK

Hi,
I'd like to use SDK to assign a category to a webi document, or to "uncategorized" document (remove the link between the document and a Corporate Category).
I first tried to select the document in the infostore (via infoobjects, "select * from CI_INFOOBJECTS where SI_ID = xxx") and use the "delete" option on the "SI_CORPORATE_CATEGORIES", but obviously, this is not the right method.
If someone has a little idea of how I can manage this link between a webi doc and a corp. category, I would be very grateful.
Thanks !
David

Hi,
This is much easier than it looks like, although it's not intuitive.
For example, when some webi is in a category, categories where the webi is linked are underlined in blue:
If you click in those blue marked categories and click Accept, you're unlinking the webi/report/dashboard from that category:

Hope it helps

Two web servers cant use same port forwarding rule???

I have two web servers, each configured to respond to http reqests on port 80. I use NoIP service to map a domain name to my router. I create a port forwarding assignment for Server A by selecting the WebServer rule in the port forwarding rule table. All is fine. For Server B, I select the same Webserver rule and the router says there is a conflict.
I don't understand why. I think the router has enough information to route a http request for Server B by knowing its MAC address, which is different than Server A MAC address.
What am I missing here???
I was able to do this on my previous router with DD-WRT.....
So it would appear the way to resolve this is to assign a different port address to Server B???
grrrrrrrrrr I hate this router

You shouldn't have been able to do that on any router. You have to change the listening port of server 2, to 8080 or something like that, or make one a secure server and run it over 443
That is a known issue with port forwarding
Problem #8:
Same Port in Multiple Rules
There are some routers such as Linksys, D-Link and many others that do not do any checks if a port is already in another port forwarding rule. A port can only be forwarded to one Computer/IP at a time. So when there are multiples of the same port number the port forwarding rule will not work.
Here is an example.
As you can see port 2350 is in 2 rules. The 1st one points to a different IP than that of the 2nd rule. So the router will honor the 1st rule and the 2nd port forwarding rule to port 2350 fails.
By removing the 1st rule the 2nd one will now work.

Visual Composer is a model-driven development tool that allows business experts to create and adapt analytical and free-styled applications without writing code. Visual Composer 7.0 is the General Availability (GA) release; Visual Composer 6.0 introduced the freestyle model-to-code creation of analytical appli- cations and it was intended as a preview tool for evaluation purposes.
Visual Composer now connects to SAP NetWeaver BI via a Remote Function Call (RFC) rather than a Web service connection. The resulting communication between the portal and SAP NetWeaver BI works faster, especially in cases of large query results. With these added functionalities, users can create more user-friendly, powerful analytical applications using Visual Composer, such as Executive Dashboards.

New Features of Visual Composer 7.0
Visual Composer 7.0 is part of SAP NetWeaver Portal in SAP NetWeaver 2004s. This release focuses on SAP Analytics and offers significant changes from the previous Visual Composer release. The most notable changes include:
Visual Composer now runs on the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) Engine of SAP NetWeaver Application Server (SAP NetWeaver AS). Therefore, you no longer need Internet Information Services (IIS) 5, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, and Microsoft .NET Framework.
Visual Composer now can generate iViews for Web Dynpro (the SAP NetWeaver programming model for user interfaces) and Adobe Flash Player 8 or higher in SAP NetWeaver Portal. You can create Internet applications by integrating Adobe Flex Server and Web Dynpro.
Visual Composer now integrates BI content from SAP or non-SAP systems using BI Java Connectors (part of BI Universal Data Integration 7.0).

XI R2 link between CUID and the file name in the I-FRS

Hi,
I would like to know how can I make the link between the file name of a webi document in the I-FRS and the CUID of this document in XI R2.
In the activity universe, I made a report showing a list of webi document with their CUID.
I would like to find them back in a backup of the I-FRS.
In XI R3 it appear that the name of the webi document in the I-FRS is the CUID of this document.
Vincent

I'm sorry but you're in a really, really bad place. I've thought about this and can only come up with one idea.
Webi docs in XIR2 cannot be opened directly as a crystal report or deski file can. You would need the rich client in XI 3.1 in order to open any of the .wid files stored in your I/O folders. And even then, you might get a security error when opening since the docs were created inside another environment.
But if you open a webi doc with wordpad, it will give you the document name as well as a bunch of other info. Make sure you use wordpad and not notepad, otherwise formatting will make it near impossible to read. Search for this section:
<DOCUMENTPROPERTY NAME="name">Average Refresh Time</DOCUMENTPROPERTY>
Unfortunately, there's really no easy way to do this. Start with the Input FRS since those represent your report templates. The Output FRS are all of your scheduled instances. Since you have the auditing db, you could report off of it to give yourself a unique list of all report names and start cross referencing what you find doing the wordpad trick. But I don't see an easier way. Windows doesn't see the .wid file as text and therefor won't search within the file when doing a text search. It'll only search the file attributes. The bigger problem I see is even when you have your list of document names matched to a physical file, what are you going to do with it? Importing a loose Webi doc into XIR2 isn't possible. Plus, you're still missing the universes and universe connections. Your webi docs rely on these to process. Your only chance would be to try the XI 3.1 Webi Rich Client and see if that allows you to open but you'll still have the universe problem.
I wish I had better advice for you. Ultimately if you could find a backup of the CMS db somewhere that would help tremendously. Without it, you have next to nothing.

Pass parameters that contain spaces between web pages

Hi,
I have a .jsp . Inside it, I only need to call a link with a parameter.
The problem is that the parameter contains spaces:
name="ALARM LEVELS"
If I write:
<a href=modif_list.jsp?name=<%=paramName%>>See list</a></p>The parameter received in modif_list is "ALARM" and not "ALARM LEVELS"!!!
How can I pass parameters that contain spaces between web pages?
Thanks

The think is that the parameter is a label and obviously I don't know the value before hand.
In fact, I am using
<a href=modif_list.jsp?table=<%=paramName%>&label=<%=label%>
<%=tableName%></a></p>.....So I can't help it if the label contains spaces.
Now if there is no solution, I suppose I can always replace the space by "_" and when I collect the parameter, I replace the "_" by a space!

Use WLS 8.1 to HttpProxyServlet to multiple web servers

I am trying to set up an environment so my client connects to the WLS server SSL&PKI. The WLS server will then proxy to multiple other web servers so all data returned between WLS and clint is SSL.
                    -------|        |-----|-------------| apache/tomcat 8880
          Client|---------| WLS |
          -------|        |-----|-------------| apache 3443
                              Here is the problem, I have been successful getting SSL&PKI and proxying to one to work, but not both servers. Each server runs different web server functions, this is not a cluster.
          web.xml and weblogic.xml below
          If I go to https://<WLSserver>:7002/cgi-bin
          It always goes to the second server, it seems as soon as I map a <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> whichever servlet is defined last wins.
          As added note, the client will never be able to connect to the apache and apache/tomcat server directly because the ports are blocked at the router level.
          Is what I trying to do possible? Is there another way to proxy to multiple servers so the data back to the client is always SSL?
          Thanks

I was still investigating. One suggestion is to run multiple server instances, each with its own <conxext-root>/</context-root> in weblogic.xml. This should work because each managed server runs in its own JVM, so you can have multiple context-root's set to /
          I tried marking the case a answered but get javax exceptions, there must be something going on with the forum pages.

Why there is spaces between Web App module listings on a web page?

Why there is spaces between Web App module listings on a web page?
Here is the web page:
http://www.mazine.com/test/testpage.htm
And here is the CSS code:
http://www.mazine.com/test/css/tablestyle.css

I only used Photoshop for the layout. Then I created web-safe images for everything that I used for Dreamweaver. I uploaded the images to the internet and then image sourced them into the code so that they will be viewed properly in the correct circumstances. I haven't used HTML since about 2004 and I wasn't very good then. I've just been thrown back into it and I'm pretty much learning as I go. This is my second attempt because I wanted to make the newsletter more eye-catching. My first one is very basic and without a background image at all and that looks fine in pretty much all email clients. I tested it with Litmus. All except for Windows Live Mail, where the images didn't act as links but as static images. It works fine with the others I tested manually. Those being Gmail, Yahoo and AOL. I will try the display:block and get back to you. Thanks for your suggestions.
