OC4J 10.1.3.1 Need to find oracle.security.jazn.login.module.db.util pckg

Hi,
I managed to configure Oracle's DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule together with JavaSSO to access two tables which reside on a 9i database. One is the user's table and the other a roles table. The only problem is that the user's passwords should be encripted in this table.
I followed the instructions in the Oracle Containers for J2EE Security Guide page 9-10 - Implementing DBLoginModuleEncodingInterface for Password Encryption, and specified in the pw_encoding_class parameter
the DBLoginModuleSHA1Encoder class provided in the oracle.security.jazn.login.module.db.util package.
I also wrote a small program to do the encryption in the table, using a getKeyDigestString method found in DBLoginModuleSHA1Encoder class of a sample dblogin module downloaded from a link in Lucas Jellema's article on how to secure an application developed with JDeveloper and deployed in OC4J. I used this class because I could not find the one mentioned in the Oracle documentation.
Now the DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule rejects the login with an invalid password message. It seems the encoding is calculated differently in the two classes. I tried to use the sample dblogin module in the javasso specification, and got a - no class found - message. I tried to locate the oracle.security.jazn.login.module.db.util package to use in the password encoding program, but I couldn't find it anywhere in either OC4J nor JDeveloper directories.
Can you tell me where to find the oracle.security.jazn.login.module.db.util package ?
Thanks for help.
Gustavo

Hi
As I am also tried the same and found the encryption module working fine for me.
This I could do only on JDeveloper 10g whereas while attempted on the same on JDeveloper 11g, I got lots of problems.
Will you please help out in this regard, if you had already able to acheive the same on JDeveloper 11g TP3, please let me know the steps or any relevant URL which I can refer.
Thanks in advance

  • CreateJaznUser: import oracle.security.jazn.oc4j.JAZNUserManager not found

    Hello!
    I need to create a function that could allow Application users to change their passwords.I use a JAZN authentication in the application. So, I decided to analyze contents of the CreateJaznUser application first. But compilation of this application breaks by the next error:
    import oracle.security.jazn.oc4j.JAZNUserManager not found
    Could you advise me, what an additional libraries I must add to the CreateJaznUser application and where can I download them from?
    Thanks in advance.

    OID 3.0.1.0 is the latest product release to public. I did add the Install data to allow it to work. I see the data in OID but when I connect with jazn I get error.
    java -jar jazn.jar -shell
    JAZN:> ls
    realms policy
    JAZN:> cd realms
    JAZN:> ls
    String index out of range: 32
    JAZN:> cd ../policy
    JAZN:> ls
    JAZN:> exit
    JAZN:>
    It does not error on policy dirictory but it does on the realm side. If I watch the tcp packets it is working.

  • JAZN userManager (oracle.security.jazn.oc4j.JAZNUserManager) fails to initialize

    We are testing the JAZN callInfo sample. I have OID version 3.0.1.0, and Oracle9iAS (9.0.3.0.0) Containers for J2EE. We setup the jazn to use LDAP.
    When starting oc4j we get the following:
    java -jar oc4j.jar Error instantiating application 'callerInfo' at file:/u01/app/oracle/products/9iAS/j2ee/home/jazn/demo/callerInfo/callerInfo.ear: Error initializing userManager 'oracle.security.jazn.oc4j.JAZNUserManager': java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException (String index out of range: 32)
    Oracle9iAS (9.0.3.0.0) Containers for J2EE initialized
    We see it this connect to ldap and get a reply. I feel the string back is larger than jazn is expecting.
    We check the tcp traffic and see it connecting:

    OID 3.0.1.0 is the latest product release to public. I did add the Install data to allow it to work. I see the data in OID but when I connect with jazn I get error.
    java -jar jazn.jar -shell
    JAZN:> ls
    realms policy
    JAZN:> cd realms
    JAZN:> ls
    String index out of range: 32
    JAZN:> cd ../policy
    JAZN:> ls
    JAZN:> exit
    JAZN:>
    It does not error on policy dirictory but it does on the realm side. If I watch the tcp packets it is working.

  • Need help finding Oracle e-mail contacts

    HI there, I urgently need a list of email contacts from Oracle, couldn't find any around the site, just a support form. Problem is that I do want to know who will read my email. It regards a security concern in oracle 9iR2, but probably versions from before to even now. To whom it may concern, please contact me ASAP.
    MG

    Security concern:
    Post an iTAR (Oracle support, Metalink ticket). It'll get routed to the security folk in a short time.
    Of course, if you do not have a support contract ... I suggest checking http://www.petefinnigan.com and, if your concern is a new issue, let Pete know. I'm sure he knows how to contact inside Oracle to the right organization.

  • I REALLY need to find Oracle Client File

    I was installing a copy of Oracle 8i - 8.1.7 on a Unix operating system. After installation I tried to locate the client file so that I can start up the client, but to my surprise I could not find the client file(s) - program. Do you know what filename under the Oracle directory contains the client file. Without this I cannot run any of the great wizards that Oracle has to offer.

    Well, there are a whole lot of files that come under the broad category of 'Oracle client'. There's presumably a /bin directory that has a number of utilities like SQL*Plus available...

  • Help - using custom login module with embedded jdev oc4j to access ejb 3

    Hi All (Frank ??),
    I'm just wondering if anyone has successfully been able to leverage a custom login module in combination
    with a client that connects to a local EJB 3 stateless session bean through Jdeveloper 10.1.3.2's embedded oc4j.
    I have spent 2+ days trying to get this to work - and i think I resound now to the fact im going to
    have to deploy to oc4j standalone instead.
    I got close.. but finally was trumped with the following error from the client trying to access the ejb:-
    javax.naming.NoPermissionException: Not allowed to look up XXXXXX, check the namespace-access tag
    setting in orion-application.xml for details.
    Using the various guides available, I had no problem getting the custom login module working
    with a local servlet running from JDev's embedded oc4j.. however with ejb - no such luck.
    I have a roles table (possible values Member, Admin) - that maps to sr_Member and sr_Admin
    respectively in various config files.
    I'm using EJB 3 annotations for protecting methods .. for example
    @RolesAllowed("sr_Member")
    Steps that I had to do so far :-

    Thanks for the response. I checked out your blog and tried your suggestions. I'm sure it works well in standalone OC4J, but i was still unable to get it to function correctly from JDeveloper embedded.
    Did you ever get the code working directly from JDeveloper?
    Your custom code essentially seems to be the equivalent of a grant within system-jazn-data.xml.
    For example, the following grant to a custom jaas role (JAAS_ADMIN) that gets added by my custom login module gives them rmi login access :-
         <grant>
              <grantee>
                   <principals>
                        <principal>
                             <realm-name>jazn.com</realm-name>
                             <type>role</type>
                             <class>kr.security.principals.KRRolePrincipal</class>
                             <name>JAAS_Admin</name>
                        </principal>
                   </principals>
              </grantee>
              <permissions>
                   <permission>
                        <class>com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIPermission</class>
                        <name>login</name>
                   </permission>
              </permissions>
         </grant>If I add the following to orion-application.xml
      <!-- Granting login permission to users accessing this EJB. -->
      <namespace-access>
        <read-access>
          <namespace-resource root="">
            <security-role-mapping>
              <group name="JAAS_Admin"></group>
            </security-role-mapping>
          </namespace-resource>
        </read-access>Running a standalone client against the embedded jdev oc4j server gives the namespace-access error.
    I tried out your code by essentially creating a static reference to a singleton class that does the role lookup/provisioning with rmi login grant :-
    From custom login module :-
      private static KRSecurityHelper singleton = new KRSecurityHelper();
      protected Principal[] m_Principals;
        Vector v = new Vector();
          v.add(singleton.getCustomRmiConnectRole());
          // set principals in LoginModule
          m_Principals=(Principal[]) v.toArray(new Principal[v.size()]);
    Singleton class :-

            LOGPREFIX +"Cannot configure JAZN for remote connections");
      public RealmRole getCustomRmiConnectRole()
        return m_Role;
    }Using the code approach and switching application.xml across so that namespace access is for the group remote_connect, I get the following error from my bean :-
    INFO: Login permission not granted for current-workspace-app (test.user)
    Thus, the login permission that I'm adding through the custom remote_connect role does not seem to work. Even if it did, i'm pretty sure I would still get that namespace error.
    This has been such a frustrating process. All the custom login module samples using embedded JDeveloper show simple j2ee servlet protection based on settings in web.xml.
    There are no samples showing jdeveloper embedded oc4j using ejb with custom login modules.
    Hopefully the oc4j jdev gurus like Frank can write a paper that demonstrates this.
    Matt.

  • Need some clarifyication on the header variable login module

    Hi ,
    I need some clarification on this Header login Module.
    It checks for the Header variable sent by IIS a server, when we implement the single sign on from windows system .
    1. Is HEADER variable differnet from HTTP header
    2. can we use this login module if we have to check the user id in HTTPheader?
    3.In my case the header variable(rEmote_user) will not be set by the IIS as i am not doing the windows authentication. can i set the the header variable(rEMOTE_USER)from asp pages and configure the Header variable login module on the portal to enable single sign on from asp application to the portal?
    please write to me if you know anything on this.
    Thanks,
    Lakshmi

    Hi Lakshmi,
    Header Login Module checks the HTTP headers for the header varible specified in the Header Login Module. In your case it is "remote_user".
    > 1. Is HEADER variable differnet from HTTP header
    No. Header variable is nothing but HTTP header variable.
    > 2. can we use this login module if we have to check
    > the user id in HTTPheader?
    >
    Yes. Portal looks for the user_id in the remote_user header varible.
    > 3.In my case the header variable(rEmote_user) will
    > not be set by the IIS as i am not doing the windows
    > authentication. can i set the the header

    >
    Here is the hack. Before you set the http header varible through the asp page, what kind of mechanism you are using to ensure this is the authenticated user. Technically you can make it work. Without properly prtotecting the portal, if you simply configure the portal to accept the header variable then it could be a security risk. Anybody can simply set a HTTP header varible with the userid and access as that user.
    I am just mentioning the security risk but I assume that you may have other mechanisms in place to ensure proper authentication before setting the header varibles..

    Hope this helps.

  • Need to find a calendar to schedule multiple assignments with multiple tasks set on specific days for multiple people

    There may be no such animal as what I am searching for, but I thought I'd give it a try.
    What I need to do is find a calendar app that allows me to have individual calendars for staff members that I can place a several-days-long assignment and have those people access remotely on an iPad or iPhone (autosync).
    I also want to be able to have tasks set on specific days within that assignment that have alerts/reminders for each stage of the assignment.
    Being able to custom colour each individual assignment (not just the person's own calndar) is also necessary, as these asignments overlap and need to be easily distinguishable at a glance. Each assignment needs to be its own entity and not affect any furture or previous entries, even if I choose the same colour.
    It needs to be in a month by month view and be able to be something each person can subscribe to and sync up with for changes on a daily basis. It does nothave to be a calendar like in the screen shot below, it could be a linear calendar that has days across the top and assignments down the left side.....
    Here is a screen shot of a rudimentary excel spreadsheet I have been using. It is awkward and becoming unmanageable as the number of assigments increases and more staff are being added on. And I must send a new spreadsheet out every time I make a change or add an assignment, which is several times a week.
    I suspect I may be asking for the world, but if anyone knows a direction I can go in to start a search, I'd be grateful. I haven't had success of my own so far and need to find something soon.
    iCal doesn't work for me due to the fact I can only colour code the calendar itself and not the event, plus not being able to have multiple tasks within one event. And the qty of assignments I'd have would see most getting lost, eliminating my abilty to see every staff member's assignmanet at the same time.
    Thank you in advance if you have a suggestion and if not, thanks for looking at my dilemma!

  • Need to find professional income tax preparation software, capable of handling 1065, 1120, 1041, 990, etc. preferably PPR compatible with Mac's OS

    Need to find pro tax prep software compatible w/Macs. My software maker, Drake, does not have Mac version. I've checked Pro-Series (no) and maybe 1 other. I don't want to spend Lacert kind of $$ (neither do the majority of longtime Lacert users apparently). Obviously, no Turbo Tax, Tax Cut or any other commercial, deduction & crdit missing commercial software. They would ned to have the ability to 1) convert a few years of Drake to their program, 2) Covert files created on PC to files that 10 OS could use. Also, would like them to have reasonable PPR program, free efile, free unlimited states, capable of 1040, 1065, 1120, & (S), 1041, 990. Built in tax knowledge base. I'd be eternally indebted to you if you found sometghing as intuitive and value oriented as Drake but for OS 10. BEGINNING TO THINK APPLE bends over backwords for artistic tools but not so much business tools. Too bad, I've had a few tax returns that have bordered on art.
    I will likely need to add Parallels & Windows 7 OS, preferably 64-bit to this Macbook Air. If so, I do not think I have sufficient memory or storage so would like to download & install onto NFTS (sp?) formatted 1TB HD. I do not know if hard drives, USB hubs, Optical drives etc. that work w/ Windows (as long as you choose correctly btwn SATA & IDE) will work on MacBook Air. Help greatly appreciated. So if you happen to know any pro tax prep software ompatible w/ OS 10 and/or, you could give me some info on what characteristics peripherals would need to have to use on MacBook (I'm hoping that most are inrterchanheable but my hoping ain't gonna make it so. OR if you know any great deals on Parallel-I saw some promos but not from reliable places. If I could find on Bradsdeals or Coupon Cabin I'd feel safe. I've seen  an Apple ad for a bundle of software w/ some other decent parts (Snagit) . I'd love to find a promo that applies to the bundle and download all 9programs for $9.99 (right). Too many questions, sorry for any protocol violations.  As you might have noticed, a keyboard is high on my agenda- I hate laptop keyboards though Apple's seems better than most. I also hate using scroll pads. Much rather have mouse. Real challenge is to find Bluetooth OS 10 keybrd that has numeric keypad. I wonder if the financial dept. @ apple uses keyboards w/ no numeric keypad, saw one that started at $99. I spent all the $$ I have on a MacBook, none leftover for overpriced peripherals, esp. w/ 2 kidfs going off to college in Sept.
    Thanks for allowing me to whine & ramble. Feel free to call me on any breach of protocol as I am 1st time poster.
    Thanks for your time and consideration, I HOPE I'M CORRECT IN MY GUT FEELING THAT I've joined the forces for good by switching. Too many PCs ruined by malware.
    Bill S

    Bill I've also run into a very similar problem, I own many Macs but I've had a PC for Tax Stuff. My PC broke and I refused to buy another one so I began to search for an alternative. Window's Emulators have given me so much trouble with my Tax Software.
    However, I've since found out that Intuit has a cloud based tax solution that works with a MAC because it's all done online. Which means you'll need a reliable internet connection whenever you want to prepare a client's return.
    It's suppose to support all of the major returns (1040, 1041, 1065, 1120, 1120S and 990)
    I've yet to use this solution, but it's the best thing that I've been able to find so far. This is what I'll be using this upcoming Tax Season.
    So I figured that it would be worth mentioning. Good Luck!

  • Need to find out how to lock a point in a path that will not allow the rest of the path to rotate or move around it

    Hello,
    I am having some trouble with using shape layers and paths to create a solid, flat 'hair' effect in a cartoon animation.
    I have used a semicircle shape layer as the hair on the head itself and then a path with a stroke of the same width as the semi circle to be the long part of the hair.
    Unfortunately when I move/rotate the bottom point in the path it causes gaps to appear further up where the stroke is rotating around the point at which the stroke is supposed to "connect" to the semi circle.
    I have included a couple of screenshots of me rotating the hair opposite ways so you can see.
    - imgur: the simple image sharer
    - imgur: the simple image sharer
    I need to find out if there is a way to lock the top point in place where it joins the semi circle blond hair which will stop this part from moving at all, even rotating around the point.
    But the bottom needs to move freely and obviously the part between the two points will move fairly naturally.
    If you can imagine how a girl with long hair has her hair attached to her head, it does not move at all, but the bottom moves freely. It needs to be like this.
    If you can provide any assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    That is perfect thank you so much!
    Can't believe I didn't think of that but you da real MVP!
