Partner application and web clipping.

Hi All,
I am trying to add an external application (say my.yahoo.com) to a webclipping and its throwing the below error in the application log.
WC-517 : SSL handshake failed with the url ...
I have checked the file ca-bundle.crt and the certificates are in place. Does anybody know how to go about debugging this problem as I am quite new to portals and at my wits end to solve it.
Also I would be greatful if anybody can suggest me the steps on adding an Apex application configured as partner application with SSO authentication to a web clipping.There seems to be little or no-documentation at all in this regard(as far as my search goes).
Thanks in advance

I finally got it working by VERY CAREFULLY reading the instructions in the install.txt document in the SSO SDK package. You have to set up the partner application with a new schema in the login server database, and run the regapp.sql script AFTER editing it to insert data from the Login Server Partner Application admin screen. After you register the partner app in Portal, it gives you some info (site token, listener token, encryption key, etc). You have to MANUALLY copy these and paste them into the regapp.sql script, then run the script in the partner app schema. Make sure you don't confuse capital I with numeral 1 (like I did, since Oracle so nicely uses a non-serif font where you can not tell the difference).
Also make sure you copy the exact values for these parameters into your code when you use the SSOEnabler class. The listener token was very confusing since different documents appear to disagree on whether it should include the partner app name or not. It does require the partner app name:
app-name:hostname:port
hostname and port are for the web server that is handling http requests for the login server (usually your main portal web server).

Choosing between external and partner application and problem with login

We have an application on Oracle App Server 10.1.3.3 and we have an OID server.
I had taken this for granted that I should define the application as 'Partner Application' and not external application for single sign on.
Now that we need the 'PASSWORD' retrieved by application, we are considering defining it as an external application.
There are at least two problems I have encountered defining the application as external:
1. 'pageConfig:serverDate' is among the login form's inputs in the login page, but I can't set it in orasso 'Edit External Applications' page
2. After login using SSO as external application and when I click on the application's new link, the login page is shown with the username and password field filled, but I have to click on login button anyway (no automatic and invisible login).
I will be very grateful if someone gives a general view on the differences between external and partner, whether in this case external has to be used or partner and finally give some comment on my specific problem with login button and manual login.
Thank you

Just some information :
- The problem with LOGIN page exists. I don't have that problem with for example GMAIL when defined as external application, but with my applications in Oracle Application Server.
- There is also another thing I don't understand. The link to external application is something like:
javascript:open_jwindow('../ealogin?ID=76D4766','76');
and couldn't be executed outside pls/orasso
in other words we can't give that to our users, can we? They should login to orassso and see that?
We don't want to involve them in Identity Management...
Any help is appreciated....

I want to remove the COnlineBank, OnlineBank and csample applications from my application and web server.

How can I safely do this on Solaris? I've tried "iasdeploy removeapp" and "iasdeploy removemodule" with no luck. I want to clear all of this demo stuff out to make both the web and app server look more production like.
Thanks
Eric

Eric,
these applications are applogics which are not controlled by the
iasdeploy tool. Unfortunately, there is no tool available to remove
these applications for you. What you can do is to manually remove all
their entries, but be careful if you do that. If you remove the wrong
keys you might break your ias installation, so be warned and make sure
you backup the whole ias registry before attempting to remove anything.

Can anyone help me know the difference b/w application and web server?

i tried reading about application and web servers. it appears to me to be the same. please do help me to differentiate. Thanks :-)

An application server hosts business logic components for an application. A web server is an application which accepts HTTP requests.
An application server may come packaged with a web server.
A web server is a very simple process. It's HTTP daemon process that listens for incoming requests over HTTP protocol on a specified port usually, 80. For simple, static web pages the web server has the built in logic to serve them but for a complex operation(say read from database and display some records), it routes the URL to a component like the servlet engine....
An application server is a much broader term. For example the servlet may need to invoke certain business logic components like beans or activex dlls. The server that hosts these components is the application server.
Hope you are clear now.

Requires a microsoft sharepoint foundation-compatible application and web browser

SharePoint 2010 version 14.0.7102.5000.
Clients are Windows 7 SP1, Browser is IE 10.0.9200.17296
Problem is the well known famous message 'requires a microsoft sharepoint foundation-compatible application and web browser' when the user chooses the button New Document.
Why this behaviour for this user is different then all the threads and blogs I read about this message is because of the following: I am logged on using my Windows account on my computer (VDI so I have the same computer as the user experiencing the
message) and don't have this problem. When the concerning user uses my logged on computer under my account and only logs in with his credentials within SharePoint (sign in as Different User) then the problem occures. I performed the same actions on the same
library as the concerning user.
So ruled out are:
- Browser version
- Office version
- windows User Profile
- x86 vs x64
- MS Foundation Support installation
- add on SharePoint OpenDocuments Class
Please help me out.

Do you have different versions of Office or SharePoint Designer or any Office product installed?
You can try repairing office installation in that particular user machine and see what happens.
Thanks.
Sorry to say but software versions can be ruled out as I mentioned the user have the same problem when using
my logged on account in Windows on my computer. Only in the browser the user is logging in with his credentials. I don't have this problem when using this Document Library.

Move and redeploy application- and web-servers for Planing?

Hi, all!
Have Hyperion Planing ability to move application- and web-servers from unix-machine to another win-machine and after redeploy existing unix-installed planing on it?

They are actually for for 2 different things. The Sun WAS is for enterprise applications, EJBs and the like.
Tomcat is for simpler Servlet/JSP hosting.
The Sun WAS actually uses the Tomcat server as its Servlet/JSP engine then adds EJBs on top.

Closing an application and web browser at same time at runtime

Does anyone have any ideas of code that addresses that problem of closes the web browser at runtime when the application closes?
I've been converted about 140+ forms and 300+ reports to 10g from 6i client/server and I've got all the forms converted but now that I've got it up on a website at runtime, I'm documenting all these application issues that I just haven't had time to research.
It sounded like I do write some Java Beans, based on some threads I've read. But I didn't fully understand.
Any help is appreciated.

Chris

Ok, I was able to do it when I hard-coded to the http://servername:port in the web.show_document. My question is: I have a windows and Linux (Development and Test server). All 3 are different servers. How can I make it to where I don't have to hard-code the server name. I've put the html page in the ORACLE_HOME/forms/java folder. The application and web browser closes just fine when I hard-code the server name in the web.show_document command. Is there a way I can get around this where I don't have to hard-code the name, but still access it from the same path on all 3 servers?

Partner Application and Login Server

I have created a partner application using the samples provided in the ssosdk. In the SSOSignServlet I am checking a table to determine if the user returned from the login server has access to the partner application. If the user has access, I set the cookie and the user is redirected to the application. If the user does not have access, am not sure how to handle it. I can use response.sendRedirect(response.encodeUrl(m_cancelUrl), yet would rather display a message indicating that dont have access and are being redirected. If I try to output a message in the SSOSignOnServlet, I get into a loop. ANy ideas?

I finally got it working by VERY CAREFULLY reading the instructions in the install.txt document in the SSO SDK package. You have to set up the partner application with a new schema in the login server database, and run the regapp.sql script AFTER editing it to insert data from the Login Server Partner Application admin screen. After you register the partner app in Portal, it gives you some info (site token, listener token, encryption key, etc).

Make sure you don't confuse capital I with numeral 1 (like I did, since Oracle so nicely uses a non-serif font where you can not tell the difference).
Also make sure you copy the exact values for these parameters into your code when you use the SSOEnabler class. The listener token was very confusing since different documents appear to disagree on whether it should include the partner app name or not. It does require the partner app name:
app-name:hostname:port

Web application through web clipping portlet configured through SSO

I have followed the steps in the below URL in integrating the external application with SSO configuration.
http://MKD-164540.wipro.com:7778/portalTools/webClipping/providers/webClipping
After adding the web clipping portlet to the portal page it is giving the below message.
User authentication failed. Please use the following link to update the information.
Update login information.
Navigating to "Update login information. " link showing to enter the log in and password details.I am confused which log in details I have to submit here. I have tried my AD credentials and application login details. Its not working anything.
If anybody have any idea on this, Please help me.

-Venu

Either the login information is not correct (it explains it should not be domain\username but just username) or the authentication format from your Microsoft proxy server (Kerberos?) is not compatible with the Web Clipping portlet. You might get a better reply in the Portal forum about supported proxy authentication methods for the WebClipping portlet.

Error in registering a provider for External Application for Web Clipping

Getting Error: The provider URL specified may be wrong or the provider is not running. (WWC-43176)

BC4J, Auditing, Partner Application and SSO

I am trying to figure out how to set up a BC4J-JSP app to use "database audit trail in entity objects" within a Portal/SSO environment.
Here is the situation;
Part 1:
I am able to partially get the auditing to work on a BC4J App Module in the tester by setting the appropriate history columns in the Entity Object and then setting the jbo.security.enforce property to "Test". Upon entering the tester I am challenged for a "username/password". At this point I can enter any credentials, I can then enter some data. Visually checking the database I find that the history "date" columns (date_created) are ok but the "user" columns (created_by) are not filled in.
Part 2:
Now if I set jbo.security.enforce property to "Test". I am not sure what user credential to enter here. I have looked at OID Manager for some clues for what username/password but I'm not sure if this is even in the ballpark.
Part 3:
At some point I will deploy this app as an SSO/Partner Application which will be accessed from a Portal page. Since authentication is handled by the SSO login page, I am confused about setting up the "database audit trail in entity objects" (from Part 1) as it talks about creating * another * login page. This seems contradictory so Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.

Part 1:
When setting jbo.security.enforce property to "Test", BC4J does not throw exception if credential is invalid. You should set it to "Must" if you really want to validate the credential. The "Test" setting does perform the authentication, a warning stating authentication fail is in the diagnostic output if the username/password is invalid. The "Test" setting is just to exercise the authentication but if it fail it does not stop the rest of the application. The "user" column (created_by) does not get fill could be cause by failed authentication or if the column is marked as Refresh on Update or Refresh on Insert, or if the client app insert null or zero length string into it.
Part 2:
BC4J default authentication uses the LoginModule from Oracle9iAS JAAS (in j2ee\home\jazn.jar). This LoginModule by default configure to use the lightweight jazn-xml. You can check this by looking "<jazn provider=..." in the j2ee\home\config\jazn.xml. If you are interested in using OID, you need to change it to <jazn provider="LDAP" location="ldap://myoid.us.oracle.com:389" />, "myoid.us.oracle.com:389" should be host address and port of your OID. There are a few predefined users in the lightweight jazn-xml if you wish to test it, there are admin/Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.

Understanding Application and Web Server Integration

Folks,
I am relatively new to web development and have some fundamental questions. I have read various articles and posts on these forums that describe the difference between an Application server and web server but haven't seen any on the integration of the two.
I have recently downloaded the Sun Java System Application Server, built a simple application with a couple of JSPs, servlets and static html pages and deployed it through a deployment tool that came with the application server.
Now, the application is accessible through my browser, so It seems the application server does everything I need, even for serving static pages. Do i need a web server? If so, would I implement a web server for design reasons and host static pages on that? Any hints on how to do this?
Your help is appreciated.
-joe

No you don not. However, if you had a large site, which experienced thousands of hits a minute, you wouldn't want to burden your application server with the overhead of serving static content. Otherwise, go for it.
As far as integrating an application server with a web server, I only have access integrating Tomcat with various web servers and it's not difficult at all. There's another post here (today as a matter of fact) where I give details for Tomcat and IIS.

Single Sign on using SAML between JWS application and Web Application

Hi,
We have two applications one is swing based Java Web Start application and other is a normal web application. We are trying to enable single sign on between both the applications. Can SAML be used to enable single sign on? If yes, can some one let us know how to do this?
Thanks,
Rama

Thanks. But it is based on two WEB applications deployed on two different weblogic domains. What I am looking for is one application which is launched using Java Web Start(JNLP) and other a web application. The Java Web Start application uses its proprietary authentication implementation and the web application used DefaultAuthenticator of weblogic. Hope this detail will help you to answer my question better. I should have given this information earlier.
Thanks.
