  • Form Based Authentication Redirect URL

    I'm using form based authentication in standalone OC4J 10.1.3.1. I have set the system property oc4j.formauth.redirect to true to force OC4J to redirect using 302 any successful authentication to j_security_check.
    The problem is that the redirect URL loses any query parameters. Here's the raw HTTP being posted:
    POST http://localhost:8988/manage/j_security_check HTTP/1.1
    Host: mvakoc-pc.peoplesoft.com:8099
    User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1

    Any workaround?

    It does not appear to be quite the same issue. That bug indicates that everything works fine in a standalone OC4J environment. This would be true with the use case specified as the original URL (/em/console/ias) does not include any query parameters. In my case the original URL contains query parameters so the ultimate redirected URL should also contain those.

  • Form based authentication - users stored in db.

    I must use form based authentication and the users are stored in an oracle table.
    How can I configure OC4J to get this thing working ?
    I have search some days on the internet and came up with nothing ... Oracle seems to be offering so much security options that I don't know what to choose from.
    A simple example should be welcome ...
    Please help, I'm really getting desperate ...
    Thanks a lot in advance !

    Hi Partner:
    I'm having the some problem as you
    configuring a JDBC security.
    I yo have found some useful solution please
    let me know.
    Thank you.

  • Issues with OSSO ,custom login module and form based authentication

    Hi:
    We are facing issues with OSSO (Oracle Single Sign on ),Our application use the form based
    authentication and Custom login module.
    Application is going in infinite loop when we we try to login using osso ,from the logs
    what I got is looks like tha when we we try to login from OSSO application goes to the login
    page and it gets the remote user from request so it forwards it to the home page till now
    it is correct behaviour ,but after that It looks like home page find that authentication is
    not done and sends it back to the login page and login page again sends it to the home as it
    finds that remote user is not null.
    Our web.xml form authentication entry looks like this :
    <login-config>
    <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
    <form-login-config>
    <form-login-page>/jsp/login.jsp</form-login-page>
    <form-error-page>/jsp/couldnotlogin.jsp</form-error-page>
    </form-login-config>
    </login-config>
    While entry in orion-application.xml has the following entry for custom login :
    <jazn provider="XML">
         <property name="custom.loginmodule.provider" value="true" />
    <property name="role.mapping.dynamic" value="true" />
    </jazn>
    Whether If I change the authentication type to BASIC and add the following line
    in orion-application.xml will solve the issue :
    <jazn provider="XML">
         <property name="custom.loginmodule.provider" value="true" />
    <property name="role.mapping.dynamic" value="true" />
    <jazn-web-app auth-method="SSO" >
    </jazn>
    Any help regarding it will be appreciated .
    Thanks

  • Performing form based authentication with entities

    Hey everyone,
    Im in a major dilemma.Im trying to perform form-based authentication using entities.I have created the entity class from the database,and I used a SLSB to access the bean method via JNDI(when I tried using dependency injection,there was an exception).I also cannot use hibernate as a persistent provider.I used toplink since it is the default in netbeans 5.5.1 and it did not raise any issues.But then,I noticed that toplink is most compatible with the oracle application server,and I use sun java system application server 9.1.I have not been able to successfully perform the authentication.
    here's the code:note,there are still bugs as ive been going back and forth trying to find a solution and also because Ive been working with preexisting code.

  • Help is needed on form-based authentication

    Hi,
    form-based authentication is set up to protect OID/SSO resource. Oracle Portal is registered with OID. A reverse proxy server is in DMZ as front-end to Portal. At the new login page, after typing username/password, hit Login button, get original OID/SSO login page, typing username/password can get to Portal landing page.
    The problem is that OID/SSO login page shows up after OID/SSO resource is protected by form-based authentication, it appears form-based authentication doesn't work properly with OID/SSO. At the new login page, if typing a wrong password, the page is flashed, and doesn't go to OID/SSO login page, so it seems user authentication with OAM can work.
    The form-based authentication works fine to pretect a non-OSSO page and if using Basic Over LDAP scheme to protect the OID/SSO resource, the login also works fine.
    Please help, thanks

    It looks like the header variable (XXX_REMOTE_USER or whatever you're using) is not getting passed, so that the SSO login page appears. Given that the Basic over LDAP scheme works (I'm assuming that you simply switch schemes in the OAM Policy Domain to verify this?) the only thing I can think of is that you are setting the header variable in the authentication actions only. If this is the case, please try adding the header variable also to the Authorisation Success actions in the Policy Domain that protects /sso/auth/ and see if that makes a difference.
    Regards,
    Colin

  • Any one else have problems using 'FORM' based authentication in OC4J?

    Since I couldn't find any information on this from Oracle I went with the specifications from Orion.
    I am using Oracle Internet Directory Server for authentication of OC4J apps. I followed Orions specs for writing and pluging in your own usermanger to make calls to OID. Everything works fine when I use BASIC authentication but when I use FORM based authentication it fails to send the browser to the original url that was requested.
    The browser just displays a blank screen?
    You can tell that the client is authenticated because you can just request the URL again and it's displayed without prompting for a username/password.
    For the login in screen the only specs Orion gives is that your form has to have an action of 'j_security_check' and pass 'j_username' and 'j_password'.
    Does oracle have another way to do this, or has anyone else experienced this and no a way to fix it?

    Tom,
    Custom user authentication in Oc4J 1.0.2.2 is same in both Oc4J and Orion and we have tested that form based authentication works
    fine. In 9iAS Release 2 Oracle has an integerated JAAS implementation with OC4J which you can configure either to authenticate users from a encrypted file or users stored in OID.

  • 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)...

  • Error re-logging in after session timeout using form-based authentication

    Hello,
    We have a web app configured for form-based authentication. When the session times out, we're redirected to our login page as expected. However, after re-logging in, we are not redirected to the desired page (e.g., /faces/OurMainPage.jspx) but to /afr/page_lev_idle.gif.
    Do we have to do anything special for session timeouts?
    Thanks,
    Rico

    Some extra information that might help:
    After re-logging in and we're in /afr/page_lev_idle.gif, we hit the browser Back button (showing the login page again) and then hit the browser Refresh/Reload button and voila we're at the page we expect to be.

  • 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. :)

  • 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

    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
    HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)ectx.getResponse();
    HttpSession session = (HttpSession)ectx.getSession(false);
    session.invalidate();

    //Inform JSF to not take the response in hands
    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().responseComplete();
    logger.info("session invalidated");
