Multiple Portals with OAM

Hello All,
Is it possible to register multiple Portals to single OAM instance for authentication? If so is there a document available somewhere? I could only find OBE integrating single Portal with OAM.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can do that. You basically need to setup mod_osso agent in OAM.
Oracle Portal behaves exact in the same way as any mod_osso protected application. If you are able to protect a standard HTML file on the webserver's operating system, you will be able to protect your Portal as well.
Setup is not documented (yet).
Thanks,
EJ

Oracle Portal 11.1.1.6 with OAM 11.1.1.5

Hi All,
I have the following customer requirement.
Oracle Portal 11.1.1.6 which is deployed on WebLogic Server 10.3.6
Oracle Access Manager 11.1.1.5.0
Oracle Internet Directory 11.1.1.6.0
The customer wants to have Single Sign On for the Oracle Portal Application. This is my understanding about the Architecture.
Oracle HTTP Server (with WebLogic Proxy Plug-in) talks to Oracle Portal
Oracle HTTP Server (the same above with WebGate) talks to Oracle Access Manager
Oracle HTTP Server has Oracle Web Cache
Oracle Access Manager talks to OID
Oracle Portal talks to OID with OID Authenticator
When I went through the Oracle Portal documents, they give steps for Oracle Portal which is deployed on Oracle Application Server but not with WebLogic.
My questions
1) Do I need to configure OID Authenticator at myrealm of WebLogic Domain (which hosts Oracle Portal) to connect to OID?
2) Is there anything more I need to do to integrate Oracle Portal with OID (Meaning running pl/sql scripts or any)?
3) Kindly advice me about the flow of Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle Web Cache, Oracle Web Gate to OAS and Oracle Portal?
Thank you
Regards,
Somerset

Hi Somerset,
I am going through the similar problems as you are so was able to find some high level answers (although still have problems implementing.)
As for the questions:
1.
Yes, you can check the details here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/webcenter.1111/e12405/wcadm_security_sso.htm#WCADM8176
Chapter 30.2.4.1 Configuring the Oracle Internet Directory Authenticator, item 9)
2.
This is in no way a complete list, as it is still not working for me, but some of it:
OAM:You need to set up host identifier, resources(urls) to protect, define schemas and policies
OHS: Need to set portal name in mod_wl_ohs.CONF
Domain-level jps-config.xml: Needs to be set as per
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15586_01/doc.1111/e15478/opssadf.htm, appendix c,
Example C-1 Sample SSO Configuration for OAM 11g
3.
This graphic explains it I believe:
Same doc as above, at the beginning.
Figure 30-1 OAM Single Sign-On Components and Topology
You can also check the thread I have started describing my setup/issue:
OHS/OAM/Portal SSO integration - mod_wl_ohs.conf problem
Hope this helps!
ZoranZoran,
What you are tryiing to accomplish is the different than what Somerset's. Yours is the Oracle webcenter portal vs. Somerset's is the Oracle Portal.
For The road map of Oracle Portal integrating with Oracle Access Manager there is no other way than what I explained. ;)

Mapping between multiple portal user with single R/3 user

Hi,
It is possible to map multiple portal user to the single R/3 user? If yes, than what is procedure to achieve it? It is possible to logon same time more than one portal user which is mapped with same R/3 user in production system?
Thanks,
Kundan

you can always do that using user mapping in user admin->identity management
where for each user details you get a tab called user mapping.
you have to create a R3 system in system admin and a give a system alias to it
Use this system alias in user mapping /
You can map multiple portal users with a single R3 user and can work parallelly.
But make sure that you have proper license in doing that.

Create multiple portal instances with only one database?

Can someone create multiple portal instances with only one database?
If so, how is this done, just by running the portal configuration wizard?
How are most people running with multiple developers working on portal? Do they share a portal instance, or create their own?
Thank you very much!
Phillip

i'm currently using 9ias rel 2(9.0.2) and i have install one infrastructure and two mid tier, hoping that this will create two portal, but it didn't. Can you please tell me how to do create two portal within one server.

Recommended configuration for load balanced Portal with load balancer, multiple gateways and multiple servers.

Does anyone have a recommended network, hardware and software configuration guide for a Portal installation running with multiple gateways load balanced (ie one URL) that talk to multiple servers?

David,
We've used Resonate (software) to load balance the gateways. It allows
you to group all the gateways under 1 virtual URL and load balance the
incoming connections over each gateway depending on the rules that you
define in Resonate. Look in the SUN portal whitepapers there is one that
talks about it specifically.
As far as load balancing the calls to the portals, the gateways will
automatically load balance across all the portals that they know about
using a simple round-robin rotation. You may be able to use Resonate in
front of the portals but you may need to activate persistance within
Resonate to ensure that the user always ends up on the portal that he
established his initial connection on (if you want that), check with Sun
on this one.

Portal with multiple layout !!!

Hi,
I've seen a lot of questions in this Newsgroup regarding the development of a
portal containing multiple layouts, but no clear answers was given.
If the only way to develop a portal with multiple layout is to not use the portal
framework, please could you give me a detailed approach how to do it (maybe there
is Howto document somewhere ...) !
Thanks for your help, I'm stuck and unfortunately not very familiar with the product.
/Julien

Thanks Phil,
OK, then could you explain me how to build a simple portal without the portal/portlet
facilities, but taking advantage of the personnalization tags available.
- e.g. Which APPLICATION_INI I need to setup ?
I appreciate your help

Julien - BEA's next portal release (version 4.0) will
have complete support for a variety of different
layout templates. There will be a selection of layouts
out-of-the-box as well as the ability to provide your
own custom layout. Also, "tabs" will be added to the
portal and each tab may use a different layout template.
Version 4.0 is scheduled for Fall 2001.
With previous versions of the portal product, you will
need to edit/customize portalcontent.jsp and the jsp's
it calls. The layout Html is spread through them, so it
is not a fun excercise.

Integrating Oracle Portal and Siebel with OAM

Sorry for the prob. straightforward question (just getting my feet wet with OAM)
We would like to configure Oracle Portal so that when users login into Portal and click on the link to launch Siebel they are not prompted with a password again.
We have the integration to OAM working for both Portal and Siebel seperatly, but we launch Siebel from within Portal we are then prompted for a password again.
Can someone please point me in the direction of how to configure OAM so that Siebel will reconize the portal cookie and not prompt for a password again.
Thanks
Karl

Please Install IIS WebGate at Siebel Server. Enable the WebGate by logging to Control Panel-> Administrative Console--> ISPAI Filters--> Add the WebGate Location.
Check the webgate status by below URL

How to Configure Multiple Portal Middle Tiers with a Load Balancing Router

Hi,
Portal version trying to install 10.1.2 on Windows 2003 boxes.
I am following the guide http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/portal.1012/b14037/cg_advnc.htm#i1046354. I have InfraStructure installed on a different box and am trying to install 2 Portal Midtiers each on separate boxes and using LBR. The above document is kind of confusing as I am trying to following
5.3.1 Step 1: Install a Single Portal and Wireless Middle Tier (M1)
5.3.2 Step 2: Configure OracleAS Portal on M1 to Be Accessed Through the LBR (AND FOLLOW ARE THE STEPS 1 to 14 in sequence)
if I follow 1 to 14 steps in sequence the information is not consistent what is being listed in the following sections
5.4.1 Create Virtual Hosts
5.4.2 Configure OracleAS Web Cache
5.4.3 Register OracleAS Portal with OracleAS Single Sign-On
i.e.
ptlconfig -dad portal -sso -host www.abc.com -port 7779
ptlconfig -dad portal -sso -host www.xyz.com -port 7779
as in the above steps it says to run
ptlconfig -dad portal -wc -site
and ssoreg command that always fails because I am running it from midtier as it gives error saying invalid username/password
as oppoesed to steps listed in point 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
Can someone please privide the steps in sequence I need to follow when installing 2 midtiers with frontend LBR and one infrastructure. I am trying to follow the architecture listed in the above link.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Will appreciate any inputs on the following.
I am planning to install Infrastructure and one Midtier BI Forms Reports Discoverer, Portal on one windows box and the second midtier BI Forms Discoverer, Portal on the second windows box.
Please correct me if I am wrong on installing and configuring the mid-tiers as following are the steps I have compiled going through the document and want to make sure this time I do it right.
As I'll be installing BI Forms Reports Discoverer, Portal so wondering when I install the second midtier do I need to unselect all Portal, Forms, Reports, Discoverer or just the Portal I need to unselect.
Also in the host file of both the windows boxes do I just need to keep the LBR IP Address entry and remove the rest.
LBR:_
Computer Name: bigip5.prd.com
IP Address: *167.123.2.5*
Listen Port: *80*
Invaidation Port: *9401*
Infrastructure:_
Computer Name: portal1.prd.com
IP Address: *167.123.2.6*
Oracle HTTP Server Listening Port: *7777*
Application Server Control port: *1800*
M1 (Portal & BI Forms Reports Discoverer):_
Computer Name: portal1.prd.com
IP Address: *167.123.2.6*
Oracle HTTP Server Listening Port: *7778*
OracleAS Web Cache Listening Port: *80*
OracleAS Web Cache Invalidation Port: *9401*
OracleAS Web Cache Administration Port: *9400*
Web Cache Statistics port: *9402*
Application Server Control port: *1810*
M2 (Portal & BI Forms Reports Discoverer):_
Computer Name: portal2.prd.com
IP Address: *167.123.2.7*
Oracle HTTP Server Listening Port: *7778*
OracleAS Web Cache Listening Port: *80*
OracleAS Web Cache Invalidation Port: *9401*
OracleAS Web Cache Administration Port: *9400*
Web Cache Statistics port: *9402*
Application Server Control port: *1810*
First to create MetadataRepository and then Install Infrastructure and then follow the below steps to install Midtiers
Install and Configure of M1 (Portal and BI Forms Reports Discoverer):-_
*5.3.1 Step 1*: Install a Single Portal and BI Forms Reports Discoverer (M1 i.e. portal1.prd.com)
*5.3.2 Step 2*: Configure OracleAS Portal and BI Forms Reports Discoverer on M1 to Be Accessed Through the LBR
*1.* Configure LBR
*2.* Follow Section 5.4.1.1 to create the Virtual Host for bigip5.prd.com (LBR) and portal1.prd.com (M1)
*3.* Define a site that matches the virtual host entry for bigip5.prd.com (LBR) on Webcache of M1
*4.* Use OracleAS Web Cache Manager on M1, to map the site bigip5.prd.com (LBR) to middle tier portal1.prd.com (M1).
Follow steps 5 and 6 as per the document
*7.* Configure bigip5.prd.com (LBR) to accept invalidation requests from the OracleAS Metadata Repository on a separate port i.e. 9401
*8.* Change iasconfig.xml on M1
*9.* run ptlconfig -encrypt
*10.* Register the URL changes with OracleAS Portal by running ptlconfig -dad portal -wc -site
*11.* No need as it is http only
*12.* Run the follwoing
MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME_M1\sso\bin\ssoreg.bat
-site_name bigip5.prd.com
-mod_osso_url http://bigip5.prd.com:80
-config_mod_osso TRUE
-oracle_home_path MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME_M1
-config_file MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME_M1\Apache\Apache\conf\osso\osso.conf
-admin_info cn=orcladmin
-virtualhost
*13.* Edit targets.xml to enable monitoring of the LBR's front-end host and port settings for OracleAS Portal
+<Property NAME="PortalListeningHostPort" VALUE=http://bigip5.prd.com:80/>+ and then run
MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME_M1\bin\emctl reload
*14.* Test the setup
Install and Configure of M2 (Portal and BI Forms Reports Discoverer):-_
*5.3.4 Step 4*: Install a Single Portal and BI Forms Reports Discoverer (M2 i.e. portal2.prd.com)
*1.* As I am installing on wiondows so will not set IASCONFIG_LOC environment variable as I can just copy the iasconfig.xml file from M1 to M2
*2.* Run OUI on M2
*3.* Clear the selection for OracleAS Portal but don't know if I need to unselect Forms , Reports, Discoverer also.
*4.* Enable OracleAS Portal
*5.3.5 Step 5:* Configure the New Middle Tier (M2) to Run Your Existing Portal
*1.* Create both virtual hosts as done on M1
*2.* Copy dads.conf, oradav.conf, cache.conf, web.xml from M1 to M2
*3.* Re-register mod_osso on M2. To do this, perform the following steps by copying osso.conf from M1 to M2
*4.* Synchronize the DCM by using the following command
MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME_M2/Apache/Apache/bin/ssotransfer MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME_M2/Apache/Apache/conf/osso/osso.conf
*5.* Run dcmctl updateConfig
*6.* add the necessary mod_rewrite and mod_oc4j directives to the httpd.conf and mod_oc4j.conf files respectively
*7.* Restart Oracle HTTP Server on M2
*8.* Access the OracleAS Web Cache Manager on M1 and follow steps 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 for Webcache seetings and clustering.
Also will appreciate if can get some info on the following:
*1.*
When I configure the Webcache as per the Document but if I bring down one Midtier Instance the requests are not going to the other Instance that is up and ignores the case whether an instance is down. Any idea how what and where do I need to provide any setting which in case of instance is down routes the requests to the one that is up.
*2.*
What exactly happens when it says To enable monitoring of the LBR's front-end host and port settings for OracleAS Portal edit target.xml. Is this for LBR to find if an Instance is down or not and route the requests appropriately.
Thanks again for all the help.

UME ABAP PORTAL WITH MULTIPLE DB INSTANCES

Hello xperts, there is a subject i would like to expose, we have a portal with UME ABAP, and we are integrating no-sap portals to the sap portal, in order to make single sign on we know is necessary todo a user mapping , using only one sap backend system,and several local portal users (ume java).
I know it is not possible get back to ume java which is the default installed in a fresh portal installation, but what if we install a new instance with another system id and and using the same database instance? it is possible? (or some thing like that?)
Thank a lot!!!

How to protect an application running on IIS with OAM 11gR2

Hello Gurus,
I have a question regarding protecting an application running on IIS with OAM 11gR2. We have an OHS server running and all the requests from the users are coming to this OHS server webgate for them to login using the SSO login page. These is all solaris. I am protecting other applications like pplsoft moduels with this OHS instance and OAM server. There is another application that I need to protect which is itself running on IIS windows machine. I need guidance as to -
1.) Do I need to install a windows version of webgate to protect this IIS based application?
2.) Or I can still protect and proxy requests from this application to current OHS instance? How can I do this?
3.) Or Do I need to proxy requests directly from IIS to OAM weblogic server?
Please advise to the earliest as this is an urgent issue.
Thanks !!

From your description it is not clear how exactly architecture looks like
We have an OHS server running and all the requests from the users are coming to this OHS server webgate for them to login using the SSO login page.
is this OHS centralized login farm ? (Case 1)
OR is this OHS server (with webgate) acting as virtual web server hosting multiple web sites so that request to any site passes through this OHS/webgate (Case 2)
1.) Do I need to install a windows version of webgate to protect this IIS based application?
If case 1 then you need to install 10g webgate on top of IIS server to protect this application
If case 2 then you can just proxy request from OHS to IIS server. As every request passes through OHS user will be authenticated before request hits IIS
Look at Product documentation for virtual web sites : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27559_01/admin.1112/e27239/shared.htm#autoId12
It has steps to protect virtual web sites.
Also you need to make sure no one hits IIIS web sites directly.
Hope this helps

There are multiple users with the same display name

Hi,
We have a user and when she get an item assigned to her she sees the following alert:
"There are multiple users with the same display name USERNAME and at least one of them does not have read permissions to some of the files"
Now I looked in the database and when I run the following query with the username:
SELECT
[ProviderDisplayName]
,[DisplayName]
,[HasDisplayName]
,[Domain]
,[AccountName]
,[UniqueUserId]
,[LastSync]
FROM [Tfs_Configuration].[dbo].[tbl_Identity] where displayname like '%USERNAME%'
Then I get 2 same usernames back, How can I get rid of one of them ? When I access TFS trough the portal I only find 1 occurence of this user.
We use VS2013 and TFS2013 update 4
Best regards

Hi DSW,
Thanks for your post.
In your query result, please check if these two users have the same Account Name. if they are two different Account Name in result, it indicate there’s two users have the same display name in your AD, please check that two users’ information in
your AD. We suggest change one user’s display name in AD.

SSO Enabling a custom application with OAM

Hi All !
Am a bit stuck on a problem and need some urgent help. Actually we are trying to launch some custom-built (J2EE/.NET) web applications from the Oracle Portal with SSO i.e. once the user logs into the portal he would not have to log-in again to the applications which would be launched from the portal home page.
We have successfully integrated the Oracle Portal with the OAM SSO, but facing some problems with SSO enabling the custom applications. Any help on what should be the ideal integration architecture and approach for SSO enabling the apps with minimum amount of modification of the application code.
The licenses are available for OID, OVD, OAM.
Thanks in advance. Any views/comments/links to useful material appreciated.
Cheers
Soumak

If your custom application uses its own database for Authentication, then you have to modify the login process for your application. i.e. you have to trust the OAM to have done the authentication and then create any custom cookie that your application might use in its landing page.
I am assuming that your custom application have some way of tracking if the user has logged in or not. You can protect the Custom application URL within OAM and once the user has logged in you can then generate your custom application cookie.
Even if you use OVD, you stil have to modify login process in your custom appliation to trust the third party to have done the authentication.
Thanks

One TREX server for multiple Portals?

I have the same requirement as that contained in this thread:
TRex for Multiple Portals
I wonder if anyone can technically elaborate a bit what the procedure for this configuration.
I would have to install a TREX and create a TREX instance for each Portal that I want to give TREX service?
Each instance points to a different host?
My requirement is to use the same TREX to both DEV and QA Portal hosts.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. !!
regards,
Leandro.

Hi Leandro,
For your requirement this document describes the TREX installation -
