Oracle Portal 10 and Singel sign-on

Can Oracle single sign-on allow authenticated windows users to connect to portal directly. How can applications like Salesforce also be integrated the same way.
Will Portal 11g use the same single sign-on system or will there be some other method available.

You need DIP for get this, with this option you will let that the autentification is performed trew Active Directory and Portal will use SSO with AD.
It's possible but you need to configure the comunitcation between AD and OID and that OID delegates the autentification to AD.

Jdeveloper with VPD / FGAC possible ? i.e. oracle portal tables and views

I am trying to create some view objects based on oracle portals views and tables. However I always get the following error.
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_SSO", line 1407
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception

ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_SSO", line 1469
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_API", line 152
This is because I have not set the context using plsql. i.e
portal.wwctx_api_private.set_context(p_user_name => 'PORTAL',p_update_flat => true);
Is there a way of using portal views in jdevloper and setting the context first. I am thinking the portal database uses vpd, fine grained access control.
Regards
Orlando

Hi,
using ADF BC you can override the prepare session method on the AM to set the context.
public void prepareSession(Session _session)
super.prepareSession(_session);
// some PLSQL like
String appContext = "Begin ctxhrpckg.set_userinfo('"+getApplicationUserName()+"'); END;";
java.sql.CallableStatement st= null;
try
st = getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement(appContext,0);
st.execute();
} catch (java.sql.SQLException s)
throw new oracle.jbo.JboException(s);
} finally
try
if (st!= null)
st.close();
} catch (java.sql.SQLException s2){}

Hi all,
I need to accomplish the integration of Oracle Portal 10g with features of PeopleSoft 9, where some functions of PeopleSoft 9 will be accessed via Oracle Portal 10g, and to access them the users must be authenticated.
Anyone have any clue or idea how can I do this?

Oracle portal session and pl/sql

Hi all i use portal v.10.1.2.2.0 and i would like to play with a session variable. all i do is
grant execute on wwsto_api_session to myportal from portal schema. and then i want to do
l_store := portal.wwsto_api_session.load_session (p_domain, p_sub_domain);
l_store.set_attribute ('myname', 'name');

1) i do not know what is the p_domain, p_sub_domain
2) when i do wwsto_api_session.get_sub_domain and wwsto_api_session.get_domain i get an error.
How can i read and write to a variable session in oracle portal? to to like java set session and get session?
Thank you in Advance,

How can i read and write to a variable session in oracle portal? to to like java set session and get session?Hi,
You may want to see the wwsto_api_session here in [Portal APIs|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/plsqldoc/pldoc1012/index.html].
"Working with the session object
The general procedure for working with the session object is:
1. Load the session object, with an appropriate domain and sub-domain combination, using the load_session method.
2. Manipulate the content of the object using the set_attribute methods, or just access its content using the get_attribute methods.
3. Force these changes to be saved, using the save_session method.
Typically this sequence occurs within the scope of one client routine that extracts and/or sets all of the client states. For example:
declare
l_store portal30.wwsto_api_session;
l_date date;
begin
l_store := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session ('PORTAL', 'TEST');
l_store.set_attribute ('LAST_ACCESSED', sysdate);
l_store.set_attribute ('USERNAME', 'SMITH');
l_store.set_attribute ('COUNRTY_CODE', 1);
l_store.set_attribute ('LOCATION', 'US');
l_store.set_attribute ('LAST_LOGGED_ON', sysdate);
l_store.set_attribute_as_string
('OFFICE_LOCATION', 'CALIFORNIA', 'US', 'STRING');
l_store.save_session;
end;
The login session that creates the session storage object is defined by wwctx_api.get_sessionid. "
ref: wwsto_api_session for Portal 10.1.2
then, look for the functions for getting attributes as number, varchar2, string or index, etc. in the above link.
hope that helps!

Oracle Portal 11 and WSRP 2.0 portlets

Hello.
I have found Oracle Portal 11g can't consume WSRP 2.0 portlets.
I create and deploy ADF Faces Portlet into Weblogic Server
as shown in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/portal.1111/e10238/pdg_java_intro.htm#CHDFDDBG.
I register WSRP 1.0 producer using Jdeveloper 11g. Then I register that producer using Portal 11g. When I add portlet from the
producer into portal page it's possible to view the portlet.
But when I register WSRP 2.0 producer in JDeveloper 11g and then register that producer in Portal 11g, and then add same portlet
into portal page it's impossible to view the portlet.
Tell me please. Can Oracle Portal 11g consume WSRP 2.0 portlets or not?
Many thanks, Andrew

Oracle Portal Setup and hosting prices.

Hello Everyone,
I am new to this community, and will like to know what it cost to setup, and host an Oracle portal. I am doing a little research for school, and will greatly appreciate any answers. Thanks.

It really depends on what you want, how many users will be using it, what it's for, and how many servers you would need to accommodate it and what type of Oracle package you choose to purchase and if you have Oracle consultants help you with the installation and creation or if you hire your own specialists to do it.
It's not really a question with an easy answer. What I would do, is I would assess a few different scenarios that are similar to different types of environments business would use it in and then research the components they require and for how large of a scale.
Portal isn't a stand alone product you really don't have a business using JUST portal. They are using Application Server and using the other products that come with along with Application Server such as Portal, Discoverer, Data Warehouse, Reports and other Oracle Tool kits and custom tool kits to achieve specific end results dependent on the requirements of the business. Portal is just a user friendly way of bring that information to either the public through the internet or your users though intranet and SSO.

Oracle Portal - Omniportlet and datadirect drivers

I need to create an omniportlet to connect to each of a SQL Server database and a Sybase database. I tryied downloading the datadirect drivers, but they wont load into portal.
I have followed the directions found here, http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/omniportlet_how_to_use_datadirect_jdbc_drivers.html#install. this was also the page that has the links to download the datadirect drivers.
how are the drivers installed and used?

I found the solution through one of the documents on the Datadirect website
http://www.datadirect.com/download/docs/jdbc/jdbcref/jdbcref.zip.
You have to call the procedure without specifying a placeholder for the Ref Cursor and then get the results using getResultSet() method of the CallableStatement. The driver automatically converts the Ref Cursor to a Resultset.

Sample PL/SQL Portlet Source Code for Oracle Portal 9ias

Hi, I'm a newbie of Oracle Portal technology, and I have a problem:
I would create a PL/SQL portlet that realizes the following functions:
1) Retrieve the username of the portal user logged from WWCTX_API.GET_USER function.
2) Insert into an oracle db table two values about two hidden fields in the HTML FORM of the portlet.
3) Realize the insert commit through the click on the submit button on the Html form of the portlet. I would redirect by the same button to an other page url also.
I've never developed in Portal, and may be useful if someone could post me the source code of the SHOW MODE SECTION in the PROCEDURE SHOW of a SAMPLE PL/SQL PORTLET that realizes the upper functions.
Thanks a lot....

Hi
Here's the code from Helloworld_Portlet example:
procedure show
p_portlet_record wwpro_api_provider.portlet_runtime_record
is
l_portlet wwpro_api_provider.portlet_record;
begin
if (not is_runnable(
p_provider_id => p_portlet_record.provider_id
,p_reference_path => p_portlet_record.reference_path)
) then
raise wwpro_api_provider.PORTLET_SECURITY_EXCEPTION;
end if;
Retrieve the portlet information.
l_portlet := get_portlet_info(
p_provider_id => p_portlet_record.provider_id
,p_language => p_portlet_record.language
if (p_portlet_record.exec_mode = wwpro_api_provider.MODE_SHOW) then
if (p_portlet_record.has_title_region) then
Draw the portlet header and specify what links are available
from that header (i.e. details, customize, help, and about).
The has_title property is set at the page region level.
wwui_api_portlet.draw_portlet_header
p_provider_id => p_portlet_record.provider_id
,p_portlet_id => p_portlet_record.portlet_id
,p_title => l_portlet.title
,p_has_details => true
,p_has_edit => true
,p_has_help => true
,p_has_about => true
,p_referencepath => p_portlet_record.reference_path
,p_back_url => p_portlet_record.page_url
end if;
Draw the portlet borders.
The has_border property is set at the page region level.
wwui_api_portlet.open_portlet(p_portlet_record.has_border);
Display the content of the portlet in the show mode.
Use the wwui_api_portlet.portlet_text() API when
generating the content of the portlet so that the
output uses the portlet CSS.
htp.p(wwui_api_portlet.portlet_text(
p_string => 'Hello World - Mode Show'
,p_level => 1
if (p_portlet_record.has_border) then
wwui_api_portlet.close_portlet;
end if;
elsif (p_portlet_record.exec_mode = wwpro_api_provider.MODE_SHOW_ABOUT) then
Display the about page for the portlet.
htp.p('Hello World - Mode Show About');
elsif (p_portlet_record.exec_mode = wwpro_api_provider.MODE_SHOW_EDIT) then
Display the edit page for the portlet.
htp.p('Hello World - Mode Show Edit');
elsif (p_portlet_record.exec_mode = wwpro_api_provider.MODE_SHOW_HELP) then
Display the help page for the portlet.
htp.p('Hello World - Mode Show Help');
elsif (p_portlet_record.exec_mode = wwpro_api_provider.MODE_SHOW_EDIT_DEFAULTS) then
Display the edit defaults page for the portlet.
htp.p('Hello World - Mode Edit Defaults');
elsif (p_portlet_record.exec_mode = wwpro_api_provider.MODE_SHOW_DETAILS) then
Display the details page for the portlet.
htp.p('Hello World - Mode Show Details');
elsif (p_portlet_record.exec_mode = wwpro_api_provider.MODE_PREVIEW) then
Display the preview page for the portlet.
htp.p('Hello World - Mode Show Preview');
end if;
end show;
I think you need to add this:
You can get the values of your html-form with this command:
v_hidden_1 varchar2(256);
v_hidden_2 varchar2(256);
v_hidden_1 := wwpro_api_parameters.get_value('name_of_hidden_1_in_html_form','p');
v_hidden_2 := wwpro_api_parameters.get_value('name_of_hidden_2_in_html_form','p');
You can get the actual URL with this command:
v_url := p_portlet_record.page_url;
Hope that helps.

Mark

Consuming SharePoint WSRP with OracleAS Portal

Hi,
i hope, this is the right place for the topic.
We are trying to integrate our SharePoint Server into our Oracle Portal 10.1.4 by using the Microsoft SharePoint WSRP Producer.
The producer seems to be up and running. (The wsdl-file and all of the depending files were accessible.) But when registering an new Provider, it fails fetching the Services with the following error stack:
Beim Aufruf des WSRP Providers ist ein Fehler aufgetreten: Java stack trace from root exception:
java.rmi.ServerException: Server unavailable, please try later
at com.sun.xml.rpc.client.StreamingSender._raiseFault(StreamingSender.java:384)
at com.sun.xml.rpc.client.StreamingSender._send(StreamingSender.java:245)
at oracle.webdb.wsrp.WSRP_v1_ServiceDescription_PortType_Stub.getServiceDescription(WSRP_v1_ServiceDescription_PortType_Stub.java:63)
at oracle.webdb.wsrp.client.design.v1.OraWSRP_v1_ServiceDescription_PortType.getServiceDescription(Unknown Source)
. (WWC-43273)
The server is definitely up and running.
Btw. we can consume other WSRP-Portlets without problems with Oracle Portal Server and GlassFish (using Portlet Container Driver and WSRP).
Does anybody have experiences on consuming WSRP from the SharePoint Server (e.g. with the WebCenter Application) or does anybody have an idea what the problem might be?
Thanks in advance

Please help me. I am the same problem.
I don't registration my provider because i have this message error:
Unexpected error - ORA-29273: HTTP request failed

Oracle Portal Virtual Host Enhacement for Multiple Virtual Hosts

I open the TAR Number: 4326752.996
The TAR is related to " REQUEST ASSISTANCE FOR MULTIPLE VIRTUAL HOSTS AND MULTIPLE PAGE GROUPS CONFIG. "
This is the Scenario: We Have Oracle Portal installed in a single Box. yes I know I know... but Not everybody is Yahoo or Google for Clusters and all the good stuff, we just want our website managed by Oracle Portal since all our ERP is running Oracle Database. Anyway. 1 Box running Oracle Portal Infrastructure and MidTier.
It turns out that our previous configuration we have the LAMP Solution with PHP, Apache with Virtual Servers configuration very trivial for a regular web server however we have about 6 Virtual domains.
For example:
www.abc.com
www.def.com
www.ghi.com
www.jkl.com
www.mno.com
www.pqr.com
We also like to post all our Intranet Information in this great Portal:
http://intranet.com
Where intranet.com is the same server but setup in our Internal DNS without be a Real Internet Register Domain.
So bottom line we start doing great with Install our single box install, later [GRRRRRR does not come by default in port 80 GRRRRRR, ok need to move and setup the virtual host to resolve our main External website www.abc.com ]
For starters ok it worked we have our main website running Oracle Portal.
Now is time to go to the step number 2.
Setup another Page Group in Portal to be the Page_Group_INTERNAL.
I figure if Apache can setup Virtual Hosts pointing to Independent parts of the File System without be shared. I was expecting some kind of custom configuration where I can setup httpd.conf to point to some specific PageGroups to make sure
www.abc.com => Page_Group_External
never share information with:
intranet.com => Page_Gorup_Internal
My TAR was very quick closed with the Argument that is not what It supposed to do.
Since a virtual host is a common thing to do on Linux and Apache, I wonder if You guys could list this as one of the default features to have multiple virtual domains assosiated with Page Groups that they never talk or share Resources I think that would be really great.
In the mean time I guess we have no option but to put a password for every internal page or take the risk of share our Information to the Internet. Perhaps designate another box with Oracle Portal but In that case Is not really cost/bennefit to use a killer technology for our external site since we just have no more than 30 pages.
Anyway just figure drop you guys a note any advise will be really appreciated.
Best Regards Dino.

Hi Martin,
1. To change the target URL of KM resources you can to the following:
Access the URL Generation Service Configuration by navigating to:
System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Configuration
Content Management -> Global Services -> URL Generator Service
Change the Host property to "portal.company.com".
2. You change the Port by opening the Visual Administrator and going to : Dispatcher -> Services -> HTTP Provider
Change there the "Ports" entry from (Port:50000,Type:http)to (Port:80,Type:http). Then go on "Save".
3. To remove the "/irj" from the portal URL you can create a index.jsp with the following content, and save it in the J2EE Documentation folder:
<Drive>:\usr\sap\<SAPSID>\JC<J2EE_instance_number>\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.engine.docs.examples\servlet_jsp\_default\root
<%
//Send the redirect using server redirection (not client script)
//This will also send the HTTP GET parameters
String queryString = request.getQueryString() ;
if (queryString==null ) {
response.sendRedirect
("irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default") ;
} else {//redirect with HTTP GET parameters
response.sendRedirect
("irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default?" + queryString) ;
%>
Hope this helps,

Oracle Portal & XML

Hi,
i'm using Oracle Portal 10g and i want to generate pages less tag like <table>, <tr>, <td>.Is that possible?
I would like to create a site whit conformance level "triple-A", using XML & XSLT....
Thanks

I'm currently integrating xml publisher in portal. There are a couple of issues you will run into.
1. Timeouts
2. It doesn't look xml publisher is thread safe.
We are trying to use threads so the reporting runs in the background, avoid time outs, and allow the user to submit multiple requests (like concurrent manager)
This article should get you up and running:

Oracle Portal...Knowledge Exchange link down

Hi,
I would like to bring to Oracle's Notice that the Knowledge Exchange link on Oracle Portal's homepage (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/index.html) has been down for several days now. I have recently started working on Oracle Portal technology and i believe that Knowledge Exchange would be very helpful for entry level developers like me. Kindly get this link up asap so that we can learn from the expertise of other knowledge professionals in our area.
Thanks,
Amit

I think this is because Oracle has decided to scrap the Knowledge Exchange part of the site :-/

Oracle Portal Groups Issue

I have an issue with oracle portal groups and privileges. We currently have approximately 150 groups with
hundreds of users assigned to each group. We have delegated a user in each group as a local administrator.
This user has been put into an in admin group that has create user, edit user and delete user privleges.
The problem I have is that any local administrator can create, edit or delete users in any group which
is not what I want. I'd like to know if groups/users in oracle portal/Oracle Internet Directory can be
restricted so they can only create, edit or delete users in their defualt groups only (assigned groups).
I have tried and cannot seem to find a way. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

User management is delegated to the Oracle Internet Directory server through the oiddas application. You may want to ask your question in one of the OiD/SSO forums.
The Oracle White Paper [The Implementation of a Departmental Level User Provisioning Model in Oracle Portal 10g|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/pdf/admin_security_deptmental_level_delegated_admin.pdf] might help as well.
Thanks,

Government CAC (Smart Cards) interface to Oracle 10g Forms and Reports

Am working an Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports (10g) WEB applications for an Air Force customer. They are wanting to use Smart Cards (CAC) to log onto their PCs and do not want to have to enter logon and passsword to enter my Oracle WEB appliaction.
Has anyone or does anyone know of a government customer that has an Oracle forms and reports application that does not require a login and password, but uses the CAC card information to connect? If so can you please provide name of organization and contact information. thanks [email protected]

Hi,
I have been researching a CAC card solution for a DOD customer.
We plan (hope) to authenticate users against their Active Directory accounts using Oracle Internet Directory and Single Sign-on Server. Active directory reads the CAC card, and Oracle verifies they are authenticated in Active Directory.
Oracle Windows Native Authentication (WNA) may be what you're looking for.
Here's an OBE on enabling WNA:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_as_10g/im/wna/wna.htm
Chapter 43 of the Oracle Internet Directory (9.0.4) guide discusses integration with Windows Active Directory:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10464_05/manage.904/b12118/odip_act.htm#127412
If you haven't already done it, search these forums for "CAC". You'll find other posts from people who have implemented CAC authentication in their Oracle products.
Good luck!
Jim
