OIA and Siteminder integration

Has anyone integrated OIA(11g BP6) with Siteminder for authentication purposes? Can you please helo me with the configurations to be done in OIA and in Siteminder for this integration.
Inputs from integration done in any version of OIA will be helpful.
Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
JK

The files are located in the deployment path used by Weblogic. In my case that is $RBACX_HOME/rbacx/WEB-INF/lib where $RBACX_HOME = C:\OIA_11gR1.
Have I set it right?
I tried changing the variable to $RBACX_HOME to C:\OIA_11gR1\rbacx but the Application won't start when I change the variable RBACX_HOME.
Thanks!!!

  • Bea Portal 7.x and Siteminder integration

    Hi All,
    Does anyone know if the integration kit supplied by BEA for the above
    product versions which uses delegate realm solution, works with RDBMS Realm
    Any extra configuration to be done for it to work ?
    By default the examples are in LDAP v2 realms
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Leonard.

    Yes, it saves a lot of grief, providing all servers are equally secure of
    course...

    Very cool. How does it work under the covers? The two WLS domain talk with
    each other? So, the following would work:
    o We have a WLS 7 domain
    o The domain uses RDBMSRealm
    o We created a new WLS 8 domain
    o We set-up the trust
    o Now, we login in to app on 8 domain, and it checks the 7's realm?Not quite - 8 still needs its own realm. The subjects (users and groups)
    have to exist in both realms - 8 will just be taking 7's word for it that
    "fred" has been authenticated but will still need to check fred's group
    and/or role mappings.
    The same realm data needs to exist for both systems. In LDAP it would be
    easy enough to point them both at the same directory but.for a database
    there is less control over the mappings - any differences between RDBMSRealm
    and 8's RDBMSAuthenticator (unless you want to run compatibility security)
    schemas might cause problems. I believe running the latter on both should
    work but in principle the schema could change in a later version of the
    product.

    See "Enabling Trust Between WebLogic Server Domains" section in

    This works between 7 and 8 (and, using the system account, on 6.1).

  • SiteMinder integration with the internal and external facing portals

    Hi ,
    We are in development phase for SiteMinder integration with the internal and external facing portals.The proposed dual authentication scheme which requires both SiteMinder for External facing portal (EFP) and LDAP for Internal portal .is it possible?
    and is it possible to main to diff LDAP directories one is external users and one is for internal users.?
    If you maintain  2 diff(external & internal) LDAP Directories in Siteminder Policy Server  what about  external users which are  not exit in portal data source .
    I appreciate if anyone  can help me for my above query .
    Regards
    Tag

    Hey Tag,
    We do have a physical external Portal and a physical internal portal.  The both the external and internal are connected to 2 LDAP directories.
    For example the External Portal is connected to the Employee LDAP Direcotry and the Customer LDAP Directory.  The Internal Portal is connected to the US Employee LDAP Direcotry and the EMEA LDAP Directory.
    So each one of them is connected to 2 different LDAP Directories.
    I believe that the Siteminder Policy is setup such that the Internal portal has a policy and the External portal has a seperate policy on the same Siteminder Server.  Then each of the Policies is configured to connect to the approiate LDAP Directories.
    You have to maintain the LDAP Directory information in both the portal and Siteminder Policy Server.  It is required in the policy server so that it can authenticate the user and it is required in the Portal server so that it can authorize the user and display content based on thier assigned roles.
    Hope that helps.
    Regards,
    Keith

  • WLPS and SiteMinder

    Hi,
    I had a small request w.r.t the Personalization Server.We are currently
    using Netegrity SiteMinder4.51 as our third-party authentication tool and
    WLPS as our personalization Server.Now the issue is that we would like to
    have a common login process (one for the Application through SiteMinder)
    and the other for WLPS.So how do I integrate WLPS with my application using
    SiteMinder.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I just started looking into integrating Cocoon's XSP with WLPS. I am
    new to both technologies, but I am noticing that WLPS heavily uses JSP
    tag libraries. I am in the process of trying to determine if XSP can
    simply call JSP taglibs? If not does anyone who is more familiar with
    WLPS have any feedback as to whether or not it would be possible to
    create home grown XSP taglibs to get XSP and WLPS integrated? Are the
    WLPS JSP taglibs just a separation layer between JSP and EJB, or do they
    contain a lot of logic? A personalized XSP portal using WLS and WLPS
    would be a very powerful platform!
    Thanks,

    Hi there,
    Have you applied any patches to 9ias since it was first installed? We had the same problem and had to apply a couple of patches to get the portlets working.
    1. Apply the 9.0.2.53.16 one-off patch for Oracle 9iAS Discoverer which takes Discoverer up to 9.0.2.53.16. This patch appears to be password protected and you need to get someone at Oracle support to give you a password.
    2. Apply the Discoverer Portlet Provider: 9.0.2.53.00c patch (patch no. 2595444) which gives you a new discportal.xsl file that actually works. It's this second step that solves your problem but you need to do step 1 before this. This is password protected as well.
    3. As you've upgraded Disco on the server to 9.0.2.53, you'll need to upgrade Disco Admin & Desktop within your 9iDS installation using patch no. 2555265. This is because Disco 9.0.2.53 uses an upgraded EUL that Disco Admin & Desktop need to be patched to use.
    This was the course of action Oracle support advised us about nine months ago. Of course they may have released a further patch to Disco that does 1 & 2 in one go, but we regularly carry out steps 1 and 2 on servers we use and we can use the Disco portlets successfully.
    Hope this helps

  • Question regarding MM and FI integration

    Hi Experts
    I have a question regarding MM and FI integration
    Is the transaction Key in OMJJ is same as OBYC transaction key?
    If yes, then why canu2019t I see transaction Key BSX in Movement type 101?
    Thanks

    No, they are not the same.  The movement type transaction (OMJJ) links the account key and account modifier to a specific movement types.  Transaction code (OBYC) contains the account assignments for all material document postings, whether they are movement type dependent or not.  Account key BSX is not movement type dependent.  Instead, BSX is dependent on the valuation class of the material, so it won't show in OMJJ.
    thanks,

  • Jabber and O365 integration

    Hello,
    Do we need any additional licenses from Cisco or Microsoft to make a full possible integration between O365 and Jabber ?
    For example features like :

    Thank you for your help
    Best Regards,
    Tomasz

    Tomek,
    There is no direct integration between Jabber and Office 365, except for Exchange Gateway integration on IMP server side which is not supported with Office 365. All other Jabber integrations do not go to Office 365, calendar client integrations are done with Outlook, and UM integration is between Office 365 and Unity Connection, which does not affect Jabber.

  • Facebook and Twitter integration not working

    I'm have trouble using Facebook and Twitter integration in Mountain Lion. When I click 'Click to Tweet', or 'Click to Post', nothing happens; I don't get the notecard looking thig, and it's like I never clicked the button. Same thing with sharing from an app, except for Twitter. I receive notifications from both just fine, but I'm unable to post. I can tweet something from the sharing menu (link to a webpage with Safari, for example), but I cannot send a tweet using the 'Click to Tweet' button in Notification Center. Also, I cannot post to Facebook by neither sharing nor the 'Click to Post' button. So far I have tried sharing with Safari, Finder, and Preview, all with the same results. (Facebook sharing with iPhoto does work, but I don't believe that is integrated with OS X.)
    I have also tried the following, with no luck:
    Checked my settings on the Facebook and Twitter sites.
    Removed my acounts and re-added them.
    Obviously, my internet connection is working.
    Added my Facebook account to the 'Guest User' account, and another administrator account.
    Had a friend add his Facebook account to his own (limited) account on my computer--he could not post to Facebook either.
    I believe the last two things I tried indicate that this is a system-wide problem. A couple more things to note: 1) there is no kind of error message; it just sits there, like nothing happend, no 'spinning wheel' or anything. 2) It DID work before. Twitter worked when I first upgraded to Mountain Lion, and Facebook worked when I installed the 10.8.2 update. I don't use either often enough to know when exactly they stopped.
    Here is a video illistrating my problem.
    It's been driving myself crazy with this over the past few days, and can't seem to find an answer anywhere. I also seem to be the only one with this problem.

    First, I would eject whatever it is that you downloaded. Go to Finder and eject it that way or depending how you have your system set up, do the two finger tap and Eject it. Download the link above. Once it downloads, double click it to install it. It should work. If it doesn't you need to use your Disk Utility to check for errors. Click your Finder again and then Applications. Scroll down to Utilities and then Disk Utility. Click on your hard drive and you will get a menu of items on the right side. Towards the bottom, you will see a button to Verify Disk Permissions. Click that and let it run. It may take a few minutes to finish. Once it's finished there may be a list of things wrong with your system. Click the Repair Permissions and let the computer do it's thing. Use Disk Utility at least once a month to make sure everything is in order on your system. If this doesn't fix it, I don't have any other suggestions. I'd hate to say do a fresh install but that might be the next step if this doesn't work.
    Something else to consider is that is if you use Time Machine and the system did work at one point, you could go back to the last known good point and reinstall that back-up. You would lose anything you have saved since that point (obviously). If you take steps to back up your information, that should not be an issue. (For me), Time Machine works as advertised. If you are not backing system up regularly, shame on you. You need to start ASAP backing up. It's an easy process and it's times like you are having now, that make the small preventive maintenance, worth extra time and effort.
    Good luck.

  • PS and PP integration

    Dear Experts,
    Good Morning....
    Please suggest me PS and PP integration customization steps.
    Regards
    Lallan

    PP is not a major player in PS as far as integration is concerned. It is through Material Management that Production Planning is informed of Production Orders using special settings in the Material Master.
    One another area, the PP and PM modules share Work Centers with Project System.
    The Work Center is needed for Capacity Planning and Planning costs. If we integrate this Work Center with HR module, we will be able to select only the people who have been assigned to the Work Center. We can specify the amount of work the individual will contribute. This forms the basis for capacity planning.
    Hope u must have understand.
    PS - Process
    After creating the project next step is u want to do cost, Revenue & Budget Planning for the project
    in the t-codes CJ42, CJ30 & CJ40 respectively. Next step is creating the Sale order in va01 T-code.
    But I have internal project scenario, example: Overhauling of DG set. Assigned work enter & Workforce & also material to network. So shall I do costing? As explained! Is it necessary to create of Sales Order?
    CMP2 - Assign workforce to activities
    CAT2 - Transfer actual time to CATS. In CAT2 we have record the actual timing correct for an activity, on day basis & with personal number.
    MD51 - Run Project MRP to create Planned orders.
    MD04, ME21N, MIGO - Convert planned orders to purchase requisitions and P.O, and goods receipt.
    MB1A - once the goods are brought is project stock; the same needs to be consumed by mb1a -281 Q on the project.
    CJ20n - Attach milestones as per the payment terms.
    VA02 - Copy billing plan to sales order.
    VF01 - Billing
    CJ20n - Project tech complete and closure.
    Hope this will help you,

    System which are used as logical names for data transfer.
    There is communication Channel for Receiver and Sender Business System and n agreement
    is signed between Sender and Receiver.
    Outbound Interface defined for Business System Outbound and Techical System associated
    with the Business System,
    Inbound Interface defined for Business System Inbound and Techical System associated
    with the Business System.
    In SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Directory, we have defined the Integration Scenarios,
    Actions, Interface Objects, Mapping Objects, Adapters Objects.
    Mapping Object defines the Structure and Value Mapping.
    Adapter Objects defines the Adapter program which implements RFC Adapter, FTP Adapter logic.
    FTP Adapter is used for XI-MDM Communication.
    RFC Adapter is used for XI-ECC Communication.
    Integration Repository: Both Outbound and Inbound Interfaces are Mapped with Value mapping and
    Structure Mapping inside Integration Repository.
    The File Adapter takes the File from the Outbound port of MDM System
    and sends it as IDOC to Receiver Business System.
    Value Mapping must be done between Sender and Receiver interfaces.
    Value Mapping is done by XSLT or Java based program.
    SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Server at runtime:
    Message Split, Interface Determination, Receiver Identifaction, Mapping, Techincal Routing
    and Call Adapter Proccess are done.
    In SAP XI 3.0 and MDM 5.5:
    Step 1: Create busines system as service.
    Step 2: Create communication channel for each business service. If the system can communicate
    through different channels, then create all possible channel types if necessary.
    Step 3: Create receiver agreement between the systems.
    Step 4: Interface determination:
    - Here you see for the first time the software component mentioned;
    there are some special requirements regarding this software component in relation to the customizing ID mapping.
    - To modify this software component, the customer needs to copy the SAP standard delivered software component
    into its own namespace. The customer is able to modify to create archives
    for the customized ID mapping.
    Receiver determination.
    Configure an FTP Server on the MDS.
    Create a send folder for outbound messages using outbound port(s) for
    remote systems(s).
    Create receive folder inbound messages using inbound port(s) for remote systems.
    This ia all about concept of SAP XI Infractsture and its' Integration with SAP MDM 5.5.

    Hi Kaushik,
    You must be aware of File types that MDM Import Manager can Import i.e. we have XML, Excel etc. Now there are two transactions to extract data from R3
    1. MDMGX -
             - For lookup table extraction
             - Output in XML format which MDM can import without using XI.
              - FTP can be configured to put the file in the desired folder which will be then picked by Import Server.
    2. MDM_CLNT_EXTR -
              - For Main table records.
              - Output is in Idoc format which MDM doesn't understand hence we need XI in between which converts Idoc file received from R3 into XML which can then be imported using Import Manager or Import Server. For this we need to implement XI Scenario that consists of Source System, Receiver System, Type of Data etc.
    Just a basic understanding...
