Oracle Portal - OVD - OID

Can I set OVD between Oracle Portal and OID?
thx

I'm sorry for needing more clarification. You I understand you to say they OAS can not communicate to OID through OVD, that OAS MUST communicate directly to OID. Is that correct?
Thanks :)

Can Oracle Portal use IDM OID rather than portal OID

Hi,
Is it possible to use OID of IDM during Oracle portal installation?
If we use the OID of IDM should we have to install the SSO component in the portal infra?
How does the process flow work when portal is integrated with IDM OID?
Thanks in Advance.
Jay.

<div>In order to use Oracle Portal, you will indeed need OiD. Not only does Oracle Portal use OiD for its users and groups, it also stores metadata for the application server.</div>
<div>Your question about synchronization of user and group information is not easily answered. Pending on your requirements there are lots of possible solutions. I'd recommend to check the OiD integration guide for possible solutions.</div>

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. ;)

Can we use AD authentication for SPoint users to access Portal behind OID?

Hi,
We have Oracle Portal with OID-AD sychronization set up, and are currently implementing SharePoint in our organization.
We would like to provide links to a few pages on our Portal to some of the SharePoint users.
The SharePoint users are authenticated by the Active Directory SSO and the Portal users are authenticated by our OID SSO setup.
What we want to do is to let some SharePoint users access our Portal using their AD login. The SharePoint users should not have to login again to get to our Portal pages.
Is there a way to let the AD authentication to pass through the OID setup so that SharePoint users can directly access our Portal?
We don't have any external authentication plug-ins set up for our Portal.
Currently we are on Portal version 9.0.4.1 but may be upgrading to version 10.1.4.2 in the near future.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply.
But I have a different scenario.
I want to establish it in such a way that certain users are stored in the LDAP and certain users are stored in the Portal Database.

How to integrate Oracle Portal running on Oracle Application Server 10.1.2

I have an Oracle Portal running on a Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.
Portal is responsible ( along with OID ) for the users authentication and authorization.
There is a new JEE application that was developed recently, which the Portal users must have access to.
HOW can I put a link into a page of the Portal, that redirects the portal user to a new browser window displaying my new application?
HOW can this new application, running in a separate weblogic 11g (10.3.5) server, automatically authenticate with the same username/password previously authenticated when the user logged into the portal?
Any ideas?
I´ve already thought in a bunch of ways to do it:
- put a link into the portal with a sessionId, then when opening the new app, it automatically tries to use the same session. How can I configure this session id during the creation of the portal's page? How can I use it from the new app to use the same session?
- put a link into the portal with a userid, then when opening the new app, it automatically tries to authenticate using a different authentication provider configurated in WL, which points to Portal´s OID. In this situation, how can I ensure that the user is already logged in and the session has not timed out?
- Should I use OSSO?
- Should I use OAM?
Any help would be appreciated!
Murilo

Hi Murilo,
A portletized version of your J2EE app would probably have been ideal for your purpose as it would handle both authentication (through SSO) and session information (through Portal framework as the framework can pass session information to the provider/producer). This would require changes to the application however.
Easiest approach would be to use mod_osso to protect your J2EE application. SSO would then handle the authentication for your Portal and your J2EE application.
Thanks,
EJ

Oracle Portal returns 500 error running under Weblogic 11g server

I've got Oracle Portal set up under Weblogic 11g.
SSO running, talking to OID 11g, also running under the same Weblogic 11g server. Tested SSO, it is working well.
After the install (no errors or issue on install), I go to http://<server>:8090/portal/pls/portal and geta Error 500 - Internal Server Error.
I traced down the problem to OHS - in ohs1.log:

Yes, it seems you are correct....this is from WLS_PORTAL-diagnostic.log

Since your weblogic is on version 10.3.3, you can only succesfully configure your fusion middleware when you are on version 11.1.1.3.
So (1) restart the install of fusion middleware 11.1.1.2, (2) choose install type INSTALL ONLY, (3) start installation of fusion middleware 11.1.1.3 and finally (4) configure fusion middleware using AS_ORACLE_HOME\bin\config.bat

Please help my Oracle Friends
Your early help will be highly appreciated.
thanks and regards

You said, "...+I would like to install Release 2(11.1.1.2.0)+ ...". Be careful. 11.1.1.2.0 is not Release 2. The version for Rel 2 is 11.1.2.0, notice that there is one less "1". Also, there is no way to patch from Release 1 to Release 2.
In EDelivery, this is what you should find if you search on "Oracle Fusion Middleware" for "Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)":
First look for this link then drill into it:
Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Media Pack for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)
In this section you will find the following:
This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 2 (Forms & Reports)
Oracle Forms and Reports 11g R2 (11.1.2.0.0) for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) V28761-01
This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 1 (includes Portal, Forms, Reports, and Disco)
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 1 of 4) V18785-01

Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 4 of 4)
This is the FMw 11 Release 1 patch set that will bring the above 11.1.1.2.0 installation to 11.1.1.6. This is NOT a full product installation - just a patch
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Patch Set 5 (11.1.1.6.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) V29850-01
There are no patch sets for Release 2 as of yet.

ADF with Oracle Portal 11g

One of our customer has Oracle Portal 11g. We want to create a portlet using ADF taskflow and consume it in Oracle Portal 11g. Is it possible?
I know how to create ADF task-flow and how to expose it as a portlet. But I don't know how to access them in Oracle Portal 11g.
Also they want portlet to be secured and should work with SSO (OAM) configured. Is it also possible? If yes, can you please let me know what changes I need to make in my ADF application.
Thanks
Sanjeev.

Hi,
its not a published example. The way it works is that you create a entry for OID in the jps-config.xml file (note that the three entries below need to get into the right place in the jps-config.xml file - which is not hard to spot)
<serviceProvider class="oracle.security.jps.internal.idstore.ldap.LdapIdentityStoreProvider" name="idstore.ldap.provider" type="IDENTITY_STORE">
         <description>LDAP-based ID Store Provider</description>
      </serviceProvider>
<serviceInstance provider="idstore.ldap.provider" name="idstore.oid">
         <property value="OID" name="idstore.type"/>
         <property value="cn=orcladmin:pword" name="cleartext.ldap.credentials"/>
         <property value="ldap://localhost:389" name="ldap.url"/>
         <property value="cn" name="username.attr"/>
         <property value="cn" name="groupname.attr"/>
         <extendedProperty>
            <name>user.search.bases</name>
            <values>
               <value>cn=users,dc=us,dc=oracle,dc=com</value>
            </values>
         </extendedProperty>
         <extendedProperty>
            <name>group.search.bases</name>
            <values>
               <value>cn=Groups,dc=us,dc=oracle,dc=com</value>
            </values>
         </extendedProperty>
<jpsContext name="CaOIDAuthentication">
         <serviceInstanceRef ref="idstore.oid"/>
         <serviceInstanceRef ref="credstore"/>
         <serviceInstanceRef ref="idstore.loginmodule"/>
      </jpsContext>Note that this is an example for deployment to stand aone OC4J. The application name is "CaOIDAuthentication" thus the name for the context.
Once you did that and deployed the application, the authentication is against OID. Note however, that I tested this with a later internal build, not with TP3

HTML vs. Oracle Portal

One Question about HTML DB:
It looks very like the old WEB-DB or Oracle Portal. Is it so much new or is it a Portal-Light without the need of 9iAS? How will Oracle seperate it from Portal?

I have been working with portal since before it was called portal, in fact before it was called webDB, when Tom Kyte and company first did internal release of a thing called WebView in 1996.
Portal's market is also for building application, but on an enterprise level scale and incorporating numerous standards - too many to list - in addition to content management and distribution for portals/web sites.
HTML in my testing should be used for lower-end departmental computing to replace spreadsheets, and make for a nice IDE where you can build application very rapidly - a prototyping engine if you will. Except this engine can evolve into a production application.
All this without have to undergo a 1-2 week project just to get your J2EE/OID/iAS/Portal environment setup and ready for use. HTML is much faster to deploy with and requires less infrastructure to build departmental size web applications to replace spreadsheet computing. This is certainly one method of making strides to enter into Grid Computing.

Authentication mechanism in Oracle Portal

Hi All,
Some quick questions related to SSO authentication:
1.     From what I understand, to check the privileges on portal objects (after being authenticated), an API call is used to query WWSEC_SYS_PRIV table (ACL table) using the “user name” information as the only related pertinent information kept by the session. If an ACL is defined on “user group”, which table is checked to see which groups this “user name” belongs to before checking the object’s accessibility to this user?
2.     How the to-be-answered table in question 1 (association users<->groups) be synchronized with OID? ex. If assignment user name- groups in OID changes how these changes be reflected to the table (real time or with delay)? What is the delay if exist?
3.     Is the synchronization in 2 applies to OID dynamic group (calculated based on attribute) – I saw in some documents that dynamic group is not supported by Oracle Portal, but I saw a document implicitly stating that there is no problem with Portal-OID dynamic groups.
Thanks a lot ,
Jeffry

How to create User Portal in OID programmatically in JSP

Hi.
I want to create User Portal programmatically in JSP (if posible) or have to use procedure.
I check with package wwsec_api, it just have 'function
add_portal_user', but it say we must have "the user must already exist in OID before this function is called."
So, i checked for 'how to create User in OID'. What i got (in metalink)just methods that 'Create manually Portal Users in to OID' by LDAP or PL/SQL coding (with list of user in flat files).
What i want to do is, How to create User POrtal in OID by JSP? What are the procedure/table/method involved?
Do anybody have any samples?..
Thanks.

Integrating Web Services Manager with Oracle Portal and SSO

Hi,
I wanted to throw this out there and make sure I was on the right track and also if somebody can point me to some resources online that might help. Basically, we have OWSM acting as a Gateway securing some web services. Oracle Portal is integrated w/ Oracle SSO (as well as using OID). What is the best way to pass the credentials to the OWSM from the Portal for authentication purposes? I believe using SAML voucher token is the way to go, but I'm not positive. Has anybody done this before and if so, what methodology did you use? I'm assuming since using SSO, we don't necessary want to also pass in the password.
Thanks,
Nathan

I have noticed that nobody has same kind of situation and this is not intresting question. Still we have same problem and I have heard many oracle employee saing that this behaviour is wanted situation. In our kind of virtual host enviroment it would be nice to choose behaviour of Single-sign-on server and I request oracle support to find out ways to enable this option... I would be pleased if some oracle development would say opinion about this mater. Waiting for ideas.

Oracle Portal 11g - New Installation

Hello,
I have worked a lot of with IAS 10.1.2.3. Now I want to install Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0). But I need the Portal for my old applications.
I have found the document 1364497.1 "New Direction for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g with Single Sign-On 10g". In the document is a section "Oracle Portal 11g - New Installation" from 23-MAY-2012. This describe in Part 1 that I have to install the Infrasturcture of Oracle Identity Management 10g (10.1.4.0.1) . But I can't find the needed sources in the given donlaod path (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/101401-099957.html).
I found only Oracle Identity Management 10g (10.1.4.3). This version seems to me does not have an Infrasturcture.
I don't know which sources I have to download to install the temporary needed Infrasturcture. Can anybody help to find the right sources?
Thanks,
Frank

Hi Frank,
I'd prefer to get the document published first. Also a few comments with regards to the OAM installation path.
The benefits are :
<li>You will be using OAM straight from the beginning, no SSO in the picture
<li>You can install Oracle Portal with an 11g OID instead of a 10g OID (which you would get when installing IDM 10.1.4)
<li>You can use an 11.2 database for both the Portal and OID repository. With IDM 10.1.4 you are restricted to an 10.1 or 10.2 database as the installer does not support 11g.
There are some drawbacks as well :
<li>There will be no DAS solution (oiddas). Both User/Group creation should be done with different tools (ldif files, dbms_ldap API, provisioning from a 3rd party LDAP server) as well as User and Group LOVs in the access tabs of several Portal components won't work. You can still enter the name of the user and group in the input field to grant privileges
<li>The seeded login portlet does not work
Thanks,
EJ
