Migrating from other Application Server - security questions

Hello guys,
I am newbie with BEA Weblogic, migrating from JBoss/Tomcat.
I am interested in security techniques used in Weblogic.
For example, how can I configure web auth./protected area with authorisation from SQL (MySQL in my case) database? In JBoss/Tomcat I've used to configure JDBC security realm for Tomcat, but in Weblogic 8.1 I can hardly find such ability to configure such realm. I need to say that I see only one default realm.
I am using Weblogic Server 8.1.
Looking forward any your help, thanks!
If you can share some usefull links/articles - this would be great!
P.S. This just the first question. I have many of them dealing with EJB security... :-)

You can write your own "providers"
There are samples available with instructions at

Migrating from Oracle Application Server or WebSphere to WebLogic Server

Does anyone know of any documentation about migrating applications from WebSphere 6.1 or OAS 10.1.3.3 to WebLogic 10.3tp? I found some old (circa 2005) documents, but I doubt they will help much.

So my path for driver is "/servers/jdbc/classes12.zip (or wath is contains).
In classpath variable in iasenv.ksh I put /servers/jdbc but it doesn't work.
I tried with /servers/jdbc/oracle/driver.....the same
Can you help me again
Thank you very much!

Deploying war file on iplanet application server 6.5

Hi ,
We are trying to deploy WebObjects application on Iplanet Application server server 6.5.
Steps we tried for deployment :
1) War file generated by WebObjects.
2) Started IPlanet Application server.
3) Opened the War file in the deployment tool.
4) Verified that the WAR file to be deployed using the verify option in the deployment tool(Verified successfully)
5) We tried to save the archive, then it throws an error saying "
"Invalid entry compressed size (expected 52 bytes but got 51 bytes)".
We ignored this message and proceeded further by clicking on OK.
6) Deployed the WAR file using the deploy option
7) In the deploy message box, it diplays that the application was deployed successfully.
Then we tried to access the application by trying the following url : " http://localhost/NASApp/<CONTEXT NAME>/WebObjects/<APPLICATION NAME>"
(eg : http://localhost/NASApp/SampleApplication/WebObjects/SampleApplication.woa>)
We are getting the error saying that " GXError". We are not sure whether the the above mentioned url is the correct way to access the application !
What we think the problem in deployment is
i) because of error while saving the WAR file (Invalid entry compressed size (expected 52 bytes but got 51 bytes)
ii) URL not appropriate
Other observations :
We tried to deploy to deploy sample application on Iplanet Application server. All these sample applications are deployed properly without the above mentioned error message. All these application are accessed by typing following url : " http:localhost/NASApp/<CONTEXT NAME>/<APPLICATION NAME>". IN all the sample application, url contains "NASApp" . We are not sure what this stand for and maps to. What we assumed is that it maps to the the iplanet app document root i.e "installedroot/ias6/ias/App"
The exception throw while saving the WAR file is " com.iplanet.ias.tools.buzz.util.ArchiveHandlerException"
Has any body who has tried this can help us?
Thanks,
Raju and Venkatesh

Hi,
First of all the application you are trying is from a WebObjects application server. I don't know how they package the modules and what is the format/file structure. I just went to their site, though they say that the WebObjects applications can be deploy on any J2EE Application server but still how they package and how they write the xml descriptors is not known.
Looking at your exception it seem that first it is something to do the war/jar archive file compression thing (as the deployment tool is not able to read the complete file) then comes the deployment descriptors.
I tried to get a few sample application from their site but I couldn't fine any, it will be great help if you can provide a WebObjects sample app to me (mail it to [email protected]).
Regarding the NASApp string in URL, it has nothing to do with document root of iAS and also installedroot/ias6/ias/APPS dir is not the document root of iPlanet app server, this is the place where it save/explodes all the archives (ear).
See iPlanet App server don't have any HTTP daemon to listen to the HTTP requests, so it needs a web server with a plugin (web connector) to forward the HTTP requests meant for iAS, and this NASApp string in the URL is the key to that.
All the URLs are first send to the iAS plugin (as configured in web server's obj.conf file) and plugin look for this NASApp string (configurable), if it is there in the URL then it converts the HTTP request and send it to iAS over a proprietary protocol (KCP), otherwise it gives the request as it is to web server to process it.
The NASApp string is a iAS registry parameter which you can change any time. And generally the context root part of the URL is the war file name (by default). So the typical URL for any web application (MyWeb.war) will be:
http://<host>:<port>/NASApp/MyWeb/<Servlet_name>.
I don't know why that extension "*.woa" is there. So if you send me a sample war file, I will be able to try it out.
Please feel free to ask further questions.

What is different between setup.exe and ezsetup.exe for iPlanet Application server 6.0 SP3?

iPlanet Application server 6.0 SP3 for windows versions.

Hi,
setup.exe has 3 types of installation modes, namely, express, typical and custom. But the ezsetup doesn't asks these questions. The difference between them are..
Setup.exe - Express - Asks fewer questions like, iAS username password, directory server username, password, product key etc
Setup.exe - Typical - Asks for same questions as of Express setup and few more additional questions and allows you to install iAS and use a directory server which is already installed.
Setup.exe - Custom - The most complicated and the highly interactive installation where it requiress 32-33 inputs from the user and fully customisable.
EzSetup.Exe - Doesn't have any sub option, doesn't allow you to use the existing directory server or web server, all it asks is 2 questions..., which directory to install and the product key.
Hope this helps.

Raj

Migration of Oracle Application Server

I want to migrate my Oracle application Server 10g 9.0.4 from RHEL 3.0 U4 to RHEL 3.0 U5. My oracle application server is running a portal application and it is also runnins as webserver. Since the existing setup has some performance issue i want to redeploy the applications again but portal users ( 600 + )created in the existing setup has to be migrated in the new setup.
Please give me some inputs in doing that...
Thanks,
CS

If anybody has any helpful info on this topic, I am looking for the same.... to migrate my Windows-based IAS installation to Linux instead.
There is a backup and recovery function built into the IAS Enterprise Manager, but I am uncertain if cross-platform restores are supported or not.

Iplanet application server 6.5 on windows xp

I'm trying to install iplanet application server 6.5 on windows xp. but for some reason it just hangs at the end of the install. Leaving my no choice but to quit the instalation. Has anyone sucessfully install 6.5 on xp? and could anyone help? would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance...

I've just spent a day or two mucking around with getting the iPlanet 6.5 Application Server install running with IIS on XP, and have got as far as having the "fortune" application running. I also encountered the "hanging installation" problem on my 5th or 6th reinstallation. Here is my checklist of things to do:
1. As has been pointed out earlier, you must have a static IP address assigned to the machine you are installing on.
2. You should set up IIS before installing iPlanet - during the install you'll be prompted to set up the Web Connector for IIS.
3. If you find that the install hangs at the end (seems to be in the middle of building the Start Menu shortcuts), then deinstall from the Control Panel | Add Remove Software and run the install in Windows 2000 compatibility mode - this article lays out how to start applications in compatibility mode:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/games/expert/durham_og.mspx
4. You need to switch IIS to run in-process as per these instructions:
http://docs.sun.com/source/816-5788-11/app1.html#14411
see the section "Registering the Plug-in on IIS 5.0 running on Windows 2000".
Note that in XP the tab is called "Directory" rather than "Virtual Directory" and ensure that you grant Execute Permission to both Scripts and Executables (default is just Scripts I think)
5. You need to grant security permissions to the registry key
\\local machine\\software\\iplanet\\Appserver\\6.0\\CCS0\\HTTPAPI

URL Rewriting Session ID Length in iPlanet Application Server

Hi there,
Does anyone know what the maximum length of the session ID value is when
using URL rewriting/encoding for session tracking (i.e.: ";jessionid=1234"
appended to the end of the URL) with iPlanet Application Server 6.0's
servlet container (or any previous versions)?
Does the length vary or is it fixed? And does WebSphere encode server or
failover information into the ID? WebLogic for instance, encodes the
primary and secondary failover servers into the ID when running in a
cluster)?
And finally, is there any way to restrict or specify the maximum length of
the session ID?
I ask this due to a limitation with some WAP clients & gateways which
prevents the URL from exceeding 128 characters.
Any info on this issue from iPlanet staff or anyone else is much
appreciated.

I'm fairly certain that it is fixed. 18 for the attibute, 16 for the value, plus
1 for the equals. (Plus 1 for the ? if it didn't already exist.)
So 35 or 36 depending on how you count it. Someone needs to verify this and
check my counting though.

the ID. Because of the way session is propogated, no server information needs to
be embedded in the id.

Migration from iPlanet Web Proxy to ISA 2000

Hi,
I'm doing a project to migration from iPlanet Web Proxy 3.5 (AIX based) to ISA 2000 (Windows 2000). Anyone have experience can give me some idea to plan this migration?
Which file in AIX iPlanet proxy store all the Filter URLs (Black list) ? And which file store all the users, groups with permissions?
If you can refer me some "How to" documentation, I appreciate your help.

sriram already answered this pretty well, but as someone having been in the same situation (migrating from 6.0sp6 to 6.1sp8 a few months ago) I thought I'd chime in.
obj.conf is not an issue whatsoever, since this file does not change in any way between the versions. This was a very nice discovery, and made our work a lot easier. :)
magnus.conf is still pretty much the same, and using the migration tool in 6.1 will migrate server.xml and all other files properly, so that is absolutely the easiest way, if you have only a couple of configs. Us, we used it to generate a new template to see all changes, and then updated our internal configuration templates with the new look and generated all files on our own from there.
You will need to modify magnus.conf manually afterward and update the path to the wlproxy though, since you should use proxy61.dll/so rather than proxy36.
There are also quite a lot of entries in magnus.conf that are deprecated in 6.1, but still kept by the migration tool. Doesn't really hurt in any way, but that is my current task - cleanup.
Regarding rollback, that depends on how you migrate. We wanted to use the same ports as well as windows service names (to avoid having to update all scripts), so we had to uninstall 6.0 before installing 6.1. But really, the possibilities you have here are so strictly decided by your network setup, uptime requirements, etc, that it is hard for anyone on the outside to answer.

IPlanet Application Server 6.0, SP3 and Struts 1.0

To all,
I've created a How To document and modified application zip file for running
the struts-example application on iPlanet Application Server 6.0, SP3. The
good news is that this "ported" struts-example also works on Tomcat 3.2 and
WebLogic 6.0 SP1!
Please read if you're interested at
http://www.icsynergy.com/downloads/index.html#struts-example.
Please note that we've created a "patch" for SP3 to fix a "bug" in iPlanet.
You can download this at
