Logout Functionality in Form Based Authentication Not Working Properly

Hi All,
I am using Form Based Authentication in ADF. In this I followed the following steps:-
1.Login On Page.
2.In successful login page ,copy the url
3.Click on "Logout"
4.Paste the url in login page and click enter
5.System taking me back to that page where I can perform all the actions.
But the Login operation should not happen just by entering the url. Please provide any help how to stop redirecting to my authenticated page just by typing the url. This is a big security constraint.Any Assistance to this is highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards

Hi BaiG,
For Login I am using the form based authentication and for logout here is my code:-
public void logout() {
ExternalContext ectx =
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)ectx.getResponse();
HttpSession session = (HttpSession)ectx.getSession(false);
session.invalidate();
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
response.setHeader("expires", "0");
response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
try {
response.sendRedirect("AdminLogin.html");
} catch (IOException e) {
logger.severe(e.getMessage());
//Inform JSF to not take the response in hands
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().responseComplete();
logger.info("session invalidated");
Thanks,
Lovenish Garg

  • J_security_check in form-based authentication - not checking for blank passwords

    I am using the LDAP Security Realm to authenticate against an iPlanet
    Directory Server. All works as expected when a user-id and password
    are entered for form-based authentication.
    However, when a userid is entered but no password, j_security_check
    logs the user in successfully. Aparently, this is correct LDAP
    behaviour as anonymous login to the LDAP server is permitted. It seems
    that the j_security_check servlet should check for blank passwords
    before trying to authenticate against the LDAP server and fail
    authentication if this is the case.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Hi Brian,
    I do not believe it is j_security_check's job to check for blank
    passwords.
    In many security realms, it is "legal" for a user to have a blank
    password. j_security_check forwards whatever password was entered so that
    even users with blank passwords can be authenticated by the realm on the
    backend. For this reason I believe that j_security_check is "doing the
    right thing" by just forwarding whatever is presented to it, rather than
    having its own logic. It is best if j_security_check just acts as a very
    dumb middle man.
    If behavior was altered, it is true that your particular problem would be
    solved, but then many other people would have a problem with their users
    with blank passwords authenticating properly...
    Try looking into how to disable anonymous logins on the LDAP end of
    things. Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
    Joe Jerry

  • Is it still the case that the Muse CC Forms widget will not work properly unless you have Business Catalyst?

    I am looking into options for our next office website redesign.  We will definitely need a forms function.  I downloaded the Muse CC free trial and went through all of the tutorials.  The video on the forms (Contact Form) stated that the forms widget would not work or would not work properly if you do not have Business Catalyst.  I'm hoping that has changed since the video was created.
    Is this still true that you need to purchase the Business Catalyst product for Muse CC form widgets to work correcty??? 

    Piruki have you tried utilizing the Previous version option within the Creative Cloud Desktop application?  You can find additional details under the install Previous version section of CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

  • Filter Function in Column Formula is not working properly

    Hi,
    I am using Filter Function in Column formula tab in Answers to calculate the Total sum from the start of the Fiscal month to the Month selected from the Prompt.
    My requirement is I have total sales column. Now I need to calculate TYYTD kind of thing for which I cant use the Time sereis due to my report constraint.
    Instead of that I am using this Filter function on TYYTD column where i am giving the filter as start of the Fiscal month to the month selected from the Prompt.
    For example if I select May month from the Prompt then this TYYTD column should give me SUM(Total Sales) between Feb and May for which I am using the Filter Function. But it giving me only May sales whcih is same as Total Sales column.
    Can anyone throw some light on this as this is very important for us or any alternate solution other than Time sereis measures.
    Did anyone got this kind of issue with Filter Function?

    Ok...here's the steps to fix this as efficiently as possible.  I have a whole bunch of mailboxes under "On My Mac" and they have a bunch of mailboxes nested in them.  I get my messages into Apple Mail via IMAP.  (I don't know if this matters.)  The steps below assume you have a similar setup.
    1.  Hold the Option key down and click the dropdown arrow next to each mailbox that has one.  This will cause all nested mailboxes below it to appear.
    2.  Go to the top of the list of mailboxes under "On My Mac" and highlight the first mailbox.  Then hold the Shift key down and highlight the last mailbox in the list.  This will cause all of the mailboxes and nested mailboxes to be highlighted.
    3.  From the menu, select "Mailbox --> Rebuild" and the rebuild process will start.
    4.  Watch the top of the mail screen to see the message count change as the mailboxes are being rebuilt.  Wait until the activity stops before doing the next step.
    5.  As the mailboxes were rebuilt, many messages were reset as "Unread" even though every message was previously "Read."  Make sure the mailboxes you want to affect are still highlighted.  Right-click and select "Mark All Messages Read."
    That fixed the problem for me.

  • I updated to Lion and now the Search function in Apple Mail is not working properly

    Even though the "All" option is selected, when I type a string in the Mail spotlight search box, the string is not found.  But I know for a fact the string is in an email and I've manually found the email (in a folder) and copied and pasted it into the search box.  Mail is still not able to find it.
    I have also checked to make sure that "Message contains" is the option in the search box.  I've noticed that in some previous searches there has been a little arrow dropdown option next to the magnifying glass icon.  But that arrow is not showing up consistently...and is not showing up now.
    What am I doing wrong?

  • ADFS 3.0 Windows Authentication not working

    I recently upgraded from ADFS 2.1 and TMG 2010 as the reverse proxy to ADFS 3.0 and Web Application Proxy as the reverse proxy.  I have upgraded to ADFS 3.0 successfully and it is working without anything changing to the end users.  This is still
    using TMG 2010 as the reverse proxy. 
    When I make the changes to use WAP as the reverse proxy, I get prompted with a forms based authentication page instead of the usual windows authentication screen.  This poses a problem since this creates an extra step for people when logging on to our
    sites that use SSO since there's no "save password" box.  I can move the traffic back to TMG and it's back to working like it should but we are looking to remove TMG very soon.
    When I am on the "inside" network connecting to ADFS without the reverse proxy, it works just fine.  However, ALL of our users are "outside" of the network will be using the reverse proxy.  None of the computers are domain joined.
    The issue seems to only be when using Web Application Proxy server to service ADFS SSO requests.....TMG servicing these requests does not have this issue.
    What's the difference?  How can I get this functionality back with WAP?

    Hi Eric,
    Based on my research, when publishing applications that use Integrated Windows authentication, the Web Application Proxy server uses Kerberos constrained delegation to authenticate users
    to the published application.
    To use Integrated Windows authentication, the Web Application Proxy server must be joined to an AD DS domain.
    More information for you:
    Web Application Proxy: Some applications are configured to perform backend authentication using Integrated Windows authentication but the server is not joined to a domain

  • Form-based authentication problem with weblogic

    Hi Everyone,
    The following problem related to form-based authentication
    was posted one week ago and no reponse. Can someone give it
    a shot? One more thing is added here. When I try it on J2EE
    server and do the same thing, I didn't encounter this error
    message, and I am redirected to the homeage.
    Thanks.

    I am using weblogic5.1 and RDBMSRealm as the security realm. I am having the following problem with the form-based authentication login mechanism. Does anyone have an idea what the problem is and how to solve it?
    When I login my application and logout as normal procedure, it is OK. But if I login and use the browser's BACK button to back the login page and try to login as a new user, I got the following error message,
    "Form based authentication failed. Could not find session."
    When I check the LOG file, it gives me the following message,
    "Form based authentication failed. One of the following reasons could cause it: HTTP sessions are disabled. An old session ID was stored in the browser."
    Normally, if you login and want to relogin without logout first, it supposes to direct you to the existing user session. But I don't understand why it gave me this error. I also checked my property file, it appears that the HTTP sessions are enabled as follows,
    weblogic.httpd.session.enable=true

    Hi...
    Hehe... I actually did implement the way you implement it. My login.jsp actually checks if the user is authenticated. If yes, then it will forward it to the home page. On the other hand, I used ServletAuthentication to solve the problem mentioned by Cameron where Form Authentication Failed usually occurs for the first login attempt. I'm also getting this error occasionally. Using ServletAuthentication totally eliminates the occurence of this problem.
    I'm not using j_security_check anymore. ServletAuthentication does all the works. It also uses RDBMSRealm to authenticate the user. I think the biggest disadvantage I can see when using ServletAuthentication is that the requested resource will not be returned after authentication cause the page returned after authenticating the user is actually hard coded (for my case, it's the home.jsp)
    cheers...

    Hi Jerson,
    I tried your code this weekend, it didn't work in my case. But
    I solved my specific problem other way. The idea behind my problem is that the user tries to relogin when he already logs in. Therefore, I just redirect the user into another page when he is getting the login page by htting the BACK button, rather than reauthenticate the user as the way you did.
    But, I think your idea is very helpful if it could work. Problems such multiple concurrence logins can be solved by pre-processing.
    In your new code, you solved the problem with a new approach. I am just wondering, do you still implement it with your login.jsp file? In other word, your action in login.jsp is still "Authenticate"? Where do you put the URL "j_security_check"?
    Thanks.

    news:[email protected]...
    Hello guys...
    I've a solution but it doesn't work yet so I need your help. Because
    one
    of the reason for getting form base authentication failed is if an
    authenticated user tries to login again. For example, the one mentionedby
    John using the back button to go to the login page and when the user logsin
    again, this error occurs.
    So here's my solution
    Instead of submitting the page to j_security_check, submit it to a
    servlet
    which will check if the user is logged in or not. If yes, invalidates its
    session and forward it to j_security_check. But there's a problem in this
    solution, eventhough the session.invalidate() (which actually logs theuser
    out) is executed before forwarded to j_security_check, the user doesn't
    immediately logged out. How did I know this, because after calling
    session.invalidate, i tried calling request.RemoteUser() and it doesn't
    return null. So I'm still getting the error. What I want to ask you guyis
    how do I force logout before the j_security_check is called.
    here's the code I did which the login.jsp actually submits to
    import javax.servlet.*;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class Authenticate extends HttpServlet {
    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponseresponse)
    throws ServletException, java.io.IOException {
    if (request.getRemoteUser() != null) {
    HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
    System.out.println(session.isNew());
    session.invalidate();
    Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
    for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
    cookies.setMaxAge(0);
    getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/j_security_check").forward(reques
    t, response);
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponseresponse)
    throws ServletException, java.io.IOException {
    doPost(request, response);
    let's help each other to solve this problem. thanks.

    John,
    1. You are using a single WL instance (i.e. not clustered) on that
    NT
    box
    and doing so without a proxy (e.g. specifying http://localhost:7001),
    correct?
    2. BEA will pay more attention to the problem if you upgrade to SP6.If
    you don't have a reason NOT to (e.g. a particular regression), then
    you
    should upgrade. That will save you one go-around with support: "Hi,I
    am
    on SP5 and I have a problem.", "Upgrade to SP6 to see if that fixes
    it.
    Call back if that doesn't work."
    3. Make sure that you are not doing anything special before or after
    J_SECURITY_CHECK ... make sure that you have everything configuredand
    done
    by the book.
    4. Email BEA a bug report at [email protected] ... see what they say.
    Peace,

    Cameron,
    It seems to me that the problem I encountered is different a little
    from
    what you have, evrn though the error message is the same eventually.
    Everytime I go through, I always get that error.
    I am using weblogic5.1 and sp5 on NT4.0. Do you have any solutions
    to
    work
    around this problem? If it was a BUG as you
    pointed out, is there a way we can report it to the Weblogic
    technical support and let them take a look?
    Thnaks.

    John,
    I will verify that I have seen this error now (after having read
    about it
    here for a few months) and it had the following characteristics:
    1) It was intermittent, and appeared to be self-curing
    2) It was not predictable, only seemed to occur at the first
    login
    attempt,
    and may have been timing related
    3) This was on Sun Solaris on a cluster of 2 Sparc 2xx's; the
    proxy
    was
    Apache (Stronghold)
    4) After researching the newsgroups, it appears that this "bug"
    may
    have gone away temporarily (?) in SP5 (although Jerson Chua
    <[email protected]> mentioned that he still got it in SP5)
    I was able to reproduce it most often by deleting the tmpwar and
    tmp_deployments directories while the cluster was not running,
    then
    restarting the cluster. The first login attempt would fail(roughly
    90%
    of
    the time?) and that server instance would then be ignored by the
    proxy
    for a
    while (60 seconds?) -- meaning that the proxy would send all
    traffic,
    regardless of the number of "clients", to the other server in thecluster.
    As far as I can tell, it is a bug in WebLogic, and probably has
    been
    there
    for quite a while.

    Hi Everyone,
    The following problem related to form-based authentication
    was posted one week ago and no reponse. Can someone give it
    a shot? One more thing is added here. When I try it on J2EE
    server and do the same thing, I didn't encounter this error
    message, and I am redirected to the homeage.
    Thanks.

    I am using weblogic5.1 and RDBMSRealm as the security realm. I
    am
    having
    the following problem with the form-based authentication login
    mechanism.
    Does anyone have an idea what the problem is and how to solve it?
    When I login my application and logout as normal procedure, it
    is
    OK.
    But
    if I login and use the browser's BACK button to back the login
    page
    and
    try
    to login as a new user, I got the following error message,
    "Form based authentication failed. Could not find session."
    When I check the LOG file, it gives me the following message,
    "Form based authentication failed. One of the following reasons
    could
    cause it: HTTP sessions are disabled. An old session ID was stored
    in
    the
    browser."
    Normally, if you login and want to relogin without logout first,
    it
    supposes to direct you to the existing user session. But I don'tunderstand
    why it gave me this error. I also checked my property file, it
    appears
    that
    the HTTP sessions are enabled as follows,
    weblogic.httpd.session.enable=true

  • Forcing specific clients or groups to use forms based authentication (FBA) instead of windows based authentication (WIA) with ADFS

    Hi,
    We are have a quite specific issue. The problem is most likely by design in ADFS 3.0 (running on Windows Server 2012 R2) and we are trying to find a "work-around".
    Most users in the organization is using their own personal computer and everything is fine and working as expected, single sign-on (WIA) internally to Office 365 and forms based (FBA) externally (using Citrix NetScaler as reverse proxy and load
    balancing with the correct rewrites to add client-ip, proxy header and URL-transformation).
    The problem occurs for a few (50-100) users where they are sharing the same computer, automatically logged on to the computer using a generic AD-user (same for all of them). This AD-user they are logged on with does not have any access to Office365
    and if they try to access SharePoint Online they receive an error that they can't login (from SharePoint Online, not ADFS).
    We can't change this, they need to have this generic account logged on to these computers. The issue occurs when a user that has access to SharePoint Online tries to access it when logged on with a generic account.
    They are not able to "switch" from the generic account in ADFS / SharePoint Online to their personal account.
    The only way I've found that may work is removing IE as a WIA-capable agent and deploy a User-Agent version string specific to most users but not the generic account.
    My question to you: Is there another way? Maybe when ADFS sees the generic user, it forces forms based authentication or something like that?
    Best regards,
    Simon

    I'd go with your original workaround using the user-agent and publishing a GPO for your normal users that elects to use a user-agent string associated with Integrated Windows Auth.. for the generic accounts, I'd look at using a loopback policy that overwrites
    that user agent setting, so that forms logon is preferred for that subset of users. I don't think the Netscaler here is useful in this capacity as it's a front-end proxy and you need to evaluate the AuthZ rules on the AD FS server after the request has been
    proxied. The error pages in Windows Server 2012 R2 are canned as the previous poster mentioned and difficult to customize (Javascript only)...

  • How to redirect to j_security_check without the form based authentication

    Hi,
    I am trying to integrate my application authentication to a backend system with the ibm websphere form based authentication. Below is the scenario:
    1. when the user clicks on a protected url, the container will redirect the user to the login page.
    2. instead of displaying the login page, i would like to automatically redirect the user to j_security_check action. which means that instead of displaying the login.jsp page, the user will automatically be redirected to j_security_check to perform some user authentication, and if successful, the application pages will be displayed.
    The reason i want to auto redirect the user to j_security_check is because i am implementing some integration work with a backend system. the user will key in the username/password from another system. once the user is authenticated, the user information will be passed to my system. The login page of my system will not be displayed again, and by using the username value, my system will assume that the user has successfully been authenticated (authentication done by the backend system), and therefore automatically gain authorization to login into my application.
    i hope that clarifies my problem.
    anyone out there has any solution to my problem?
    thanks a lot in advance.

    Hi Darren,
    Let me explain the whole authentication environment.
    There are actually 2 systems in this environment. Let;s call it system A and system B.
    System B is actually using the authentication mechanism that i described in my previous message.
    A login page will be presented to the user (within system A). User credential is collected and passed to system A to be authenticated. System A will use its own mechanism to authenticate the user.
    Once the user is authenticated, system A will pass the user ID to system B. At this point, system B will assume that the user is authenticated and grant authorization to access the application. (system B global security is enabled and implements the form based authentication mechanism) Therefore, at this point, the redirect page (so called login page) will not be displayed to the user, instead it will be automatically redirected to the j_security_check action to execute the customer Ldap Registry class. (ps : eventhough authentication is no longer needed, the flow will still go to Ldap Registry class. A check is done in the Ldap Registry class to skip the authentication, if it is not boot strap login. Only first and only time authentication is done for boot strap login).
    In the case a protected url is clicked or invoked by the user directly, the application will redirect the user to the initial login of system A. Otherwise (the url link originates from system A, during the passing of user token to system B), system B will redirect to j_security_check and execute the customer Ldap Registry class.
    Based on the above explained scenario, in your opinion, is there any security loopholes? consider that system B no longer perform authentication but only to grant authorization to the user.
    Appreciate your advice. Thanks in advance
    Anyway, i am using the ibm websphere server. :)
