Placing web apps behind SSO

Hi,
I have an existing web application (html/jsp) that needs to be put behind SSO. I have found out that this works with the following steps:
- edit web.xml: add logical roles, define url rules and assign roles to url rules
- deploy the app to 9iAS and choose LDAP as a user manager
- after deployment, edit the orion-application.xml to add a security-role-mapping
What astonishes me is that I cannot assign the logical mapping in in JDeveloper already, before deployment. Is there any way to do this? I have tried to include the mapping in application.xml, orion-application.xml and orion-web.xml but it does not work.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Jeroen van Veldhuizen

Hi Lukey,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
What’s the client OS and RDP version used in your environment?
If it’s lower version, then suggest you to upgrade client version to RDP 8.1 and then check the result.
In addition please check “Set RD Gateway authentication method” under GPO setting at below mention path.
User Configuration>Administrative Templates>Windows Components>Remote Desktop Services>RD Gateway
Also go through beneath article for reference.

SSO to Web App using Application Integrator - not working

Hi,
I've set up App Integrator for my web application, following the Yahoo example in the guide. My URL template is <System.protocol>://<System.server><System.uri>?<Authentication> and the fraction for user mapping is op=<MappedUser>&pwd=<MappedPassword>.
It doesn't log me in. Even if I change the URL template to the actual address of my web app and use a real user & password (rather than <Mapped..>), it still doesn't work.
I've got SSO to my web app working using a HTTP system and URL iview but I would really like to see the App Integrator working as well. Any ideas?
Many thanks
Jane

Can anyone please help with this? I installed a http sniffer so maybe I could see what was going on. My HTTP System simply goes to the URL with the parameters added as expected, but the app integrator one is a bit more complex - I can see the URL & parameters in this function:
    function requestTargetURL() {
      var theURL = "<b>HTTPS://(myserver)/log-in.htm?op=(####)&pwd=(####)</b>";
      var dsmObj;
      if (hasNestedFrameStructure()) {
        location.replace(theURL);
        dsmObj = parent.EPCM.DSM;
      } else {
        document.body.scroll = "no"; // for IE only
        var theIframe = document.getElementById("iframe_GETRedirect_1593748234");
        theIframe.style.visibility = "visible";
        theIframe.src = theURL;
        dsmObj = EPCM.DSM;
        document.title = 'JDS';
    function onloadhandler(){
      setTimeout("requestTargetURL()",1);
and the server/username/password are all correct but there's a lot of other stuff in there which I'm not sure how affects it. Anyone know have any ideas why this isn't working? Does it matter that my web app is https but the portal is http?
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance

SSO with OID and WLS 8.1 Web App

Hi,
I have a web application deployed on WLS 8.1.
I have set up Oracle Custom Authenticator.
Some of my users are stored in Oracle LDAP. I want that if user logs in Web Application deployed on WLS 8.1 and clicks on one link (in my web app) which refers him to go to OID interface, in OID interface he should not be authenticated again (as he is already authenticated by WLS). Please let me know how to resolve this issue with Oracle SSO.
Any help in this regard highly appreciated.
Thanks

I have somthing very similar going on where I am currently working.
Thanks!

SSO to Web App using Application Integrator - not working (SP15)

Hi,
I have created a web app system and generic app integrator iview for my web application (and set up user mapping etc.), following the Application Integrator how-to guide but it does not log me into my web application. I have got the Yahoo example working, and if I use a HTTP System & URL iview for my web application, that also works. Can anyone tell me what the problem could be, or where I should start looking?
If I use a http sniffer, I can see the correct URL and parameters in the following:
function requestTargetURL() {
      var theURL = "<b>HTTPS://(myserver)/log-in.htm?op=(####)&pwd=(####)</b>";
      var dsmObj;
      if (hasNestedFrameStructure()) {
        location.replace(theURL);
        dsmObj = parent.EPCM.DSM;
      } else {
        document.body.scroll = "no"; // for IE only
        var theIframe = document.getElementById("iframe_GETRedirect_592312569");
        theIframe.style.visibility = "visible";
        theIframe.src = theURL;
        dsmObj = EPCM.DSM;
        document.title = 'JDS';
    function onloadhandler(){
      setTimeout("requestTargetURL()",1);
but something else must be happening for it not to work. Can anyone give me any pointers?
Many thanks

Bit of a weird one: I've found a way to make it work but I'm not sure exactly how... the problem was that the portal was opening my web app URL in an iFrame (which can be seen from the code above). I tested this by just creating a html page with the URL + parameters in an iframe, and it wouldn't log me in (and took over the whole browser). So I guess the problem is with my web app rather than the portal.
However... I then discovered that if I add my web app address to the Local Intranet security zone in my browser (IE6) settings (before it was in the Trusted Sites zone), it no longer minded being in an iFrame, my test html page worked and so does the portal iview. I cannot find which security setting is causing this - I've tried changing the Trusted Sites to match the Intranet zone settings exactly, but it still doesn't work if my web app address is Trusted opposed to Intranet.
If anyone has any idea what is causing this behaviour, I'd be very grateful - obviously it isn't a portal issue but I'd still like to find out the cause in case it comes up again in the future.
Many thanks,
Jane

GetAccess SSO and WebLogic J2EE Web app

I have a J2EE web app (servlets/JSPs) running in WLS5.1sp8. I want to use standard
J2EE declarative security to protect the application and a WLS custom security
realm to provide authorisation.
However, I need to use the Entrust getAccess single sign-on infrastructure to
do the initial user authentication. I was hoping there might be some way to propogate
the user's getAccess security credentials into the web application so that when
the user hits a protected web page, they are not prompted to login in again.
However, Weblogic should call into my custom realm with the getAccess provided
user name to check that the user has the correct role.
Anyone have any ideas how/if this is possible?
Thanks,
Martin

That was a good article on how to maintain access levels based on different user roles and i will need it down the lane. Probably, i used a wrong word when i meant 'unauthorized user'.
Actually, let me rephrase it,
Here is my issue rephrased,
1.) My problem is during authentication phase, I want a functionality where a person is redirected to login page by default if he tries to paste URL of some intermediate page of application directly without logging in.
2.) This would also pop up another question, which would be what is the best practice to maintain a user's info i.e. his login credentials throughout the application (I am just storing his user id along with a flag which says its true.) .
Right now, the way i do is, in each action after the user logs in, I check for a session attribute which tells if he has logged. Based on this check, I forward to the next page. But, i think its quite redundant and probably not a best practice. Hence, I need some other elegant way of achieving this.

How to expose Web App data to search engines

Hi Guys - Need direction please
My website contains a business directory (web app)
The web app items are in a secure zone (the client only want registered/paid members to create their business profiles) = customer submitted web app
It is also required that the directory is indexed by "elgooG".
When searching for a type of business on "elgooG", they want the listed business information found, with a link to the actual detail
e.g.: website.com\directory\Joe-blogs-plumbing
First problem, the web app item sits behind a login (secured)
How would you configure this so that we have the Web App item secured (paid), but also visible to search engines and general public?
Much appreciated

There is no reason for the whole web app to be under a securezone.
Once you assign the owner of the item they can only edit it when they login.
All you need to do is have a listing directory on your site that shows these. IF you do not want that and it only under a securezone of course it will never get indexed by google.
If you want the public listing of these you just need a page and put in the web app module that outputs the list. Things like the edit link wont show unless your logged in.

SharePoint 2013 and MS Office Web Apps - error in sharepoint's url calls OWAps

I have new SharePoint 2013 Server farm and one dedicated Office Web Apps (OWAps) server.
This farm is placed in one domain (Acompany.local). There is other domain BCompany.local whitch has both trusted to first domain (two diffirent forests, two company's branches).
Users from second domain BCompany.local well see intranet portal, build in sharepoint in the first domain (url like http://intranet.Acompany.local).
But, when they try to use OWAps, f.e. whatching preview or try to open docs for edit in browser - they see error in frame.
I'm looked it in google chrome's developer tools and find' that sharepoint use wrong url to call OWAps - like http://owaps/... instead of http://owaps.Acompany.local/...
When I created new office web app farm by:
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalURL "http://owaps.Acompany.local" - ExternalURL "http://owaps.Acompany.local" -AllowHttp -EditingEnabled
And in sharepoint farm new SWOPI binding by:
New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName "http://owaps.Acompany.local" -AllowHTTP
Get-SPWOPIBinding tell that all SWOPI bindings are http://owaps.Acompany.local, but in devtools I continue to see wrong http://owaps/... url
Any idea to fix this behavior?

The reason WAC is recommended to be installed on a dedicated server is that it recreates the IIS sites/settings. This is why you're seeing the setting reset itself after restart.
What I'd probably recommend is creating a script that queries the WAC URL on a regular basis.

Using Office Web Apps Server 2013 without SharePoint, Lync, or Exchange

I'm trying to use the Office Web Apps Server 2013 as an online viewer of Office documents (using the Online Viewer). I've set up a New-OfficeWebAppsFarm with editing disabled, no UNC paths, and an external URL with SSL Offloaded to my Load balancer.
I don't want to use it with SharePoint, Lync or Exchange. Just use it to view documents online (similar to Google Docs Viewer).
However, when I point the Office Web Apps Server to a remote file online (e.x. a DOC hosted on a website), I get an error opening it.
I've checked the health statuses of my OWA Servers, and it says Healthy.
When I check the Event viewer of my OWA Server, I see 501 WOPI errors:
Could not contact WOPI End Point. Error details - 'NotImplemented url - https://sample-owa-url.com/oh/wopi/files/@/wFileId?wFileId=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eimr%2Esandia%2Egov%2Fimrtemplate%2Edoc&access_token=1&access_token_ttl=0'.
It seems OWA is trying to connect to the path /oh/wopi/files.... but the server is responding NotImplemented.
What do I have to get this to work?
Thanks for any help!

Did you ever find an answer? I have the exact same Issue.
I have 2 WAC servers behind a load balancer with SSL offloaded to the LB. Both servers report healthy with Get-OfficeWebAppsMachine
Works fine with SharePoint 2013.
When I use it with a remote file, served using HTTP with no authentication (anonymous), I get a generic "Sorry there was a problem and we can't open this document..." error.
In the ULS and event viewer, I see the WOPI error and 501 which basically says:
Could not contact WOPI End Point. Error details - 'NotImplemented url - https://sample-owa-url.com/oh/wopi/files/@/wFileId?wFileId=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Blah%2Ecom%2FWordDocument%2Edocx&access_token=1&access_token_ttl=0'.
I also sometimes see this:
<HealthMessage>WordViewerWfeWatchdog reported status for WebWordViewer in category 'WfeRedirect'. Reported status: /default.aspx returned a 404, which means that we didn't have where to redirect.</HealthMessage>
The very interesting part s that I have a dev server, with OWA (WAC) installed, thats not going through a LB and does not use SSL, that works just fine with the same public url word document.

Office 2013 - SharePoint Web App: How can I link a subform on two Master/Child controls?

I have a form in which I have placed a subform in a SharePoint Web App.
I also have 2 controls on the form, from which I'd like to link to two columns on the subform. How can I have two Master/Child linking relationships to a subform.
In Access desktop, it is done in a window "Subform Field Linker", like this:
Master Fields: Child Fields:
<sorry I could not include a link until my account is verified>
Thanks,
Keith

Hi Bruce,
>>Are subforms in web apps different in this regard?<<
Yes, there are two kinds of database. In an on-premise environment, Access 2013 apps are hosted by SharePoint 2013 while the data is stored in SQL Server 2012. SharePoint 2013 provides authentication, authorization, and security for Access 2013 apps.
The back-end tables, views, macros, and queries are stored in a SQL Server 2012 database.

Office Web Apps 2013: SSLOffLoad, Cannot connect Sharepoint.

Hi,
Background.
We have a 2 machine SharePoint 2013 farm and a 2 machine Office Web Apps Farm, both of which are behind a load balancer. Our public DNS holds the records for the two farms: webapps.company.com and sharepoint.company.com. However these domains are not in
the internal DNS and cannot be resolved internally. I've put these in the hosts file on the respective machines, so they can talk to each other.
I'm now at the point where I need to connect SharePoint to the OWA farm. I've followed the guide here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219455%28v=office.15%29.aspx
and setup the OWA farm by the specification under the heading "Deploy a multi-server, load balanced, office web apps server farm that uses HTTPS".
My creation string
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl https://machinename.domain.com -ExternalUrl https://webapps.comapny.com -SSLOffloaded -EditingEnabled
That went ok and the farm is created. I then added the second machine
New-OfficeWebAppsMachine -MachineToJoin "machinename.domain.com"
Now that the farm is created i went ahead and ran
New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName machinename.company.com
But that just gave me "WARNING: The Server did not respond. Trying again"
Adding the -AllowHttp flag let me continue, but that ended up giving me error when i created or opened a document in Sharepoint.
So my guess is that i need to figure out why i cannot use New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName machinename.company.com without -AllowHTTP.
It was my understanding that we don't have to setup SSL on the individual farm server as the load balanser woudl take care of that.
Any ideas as to why New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName machinename.company.com won't work?
Thank you for taking the time to read my post
Regards.

Because I’ve not configured my OWA machine to be published to the Internet so I have to use its Internet-public IP. It’s not a recommended best practice. In your case, the external URL would be http://owa.abc.com
. Above I’m not using SSL certificate
to encrypt data over the Internet. Just add CertificateName parameter if you want to use whether CA-issued certificate
or self-signed certificate. Finally, check both internal URL (http://app03/hosting/discovery
) and external URL (http://198.xxx.xxx.xxx/hosting/discovery
) to confirm everything is working
well. Your screen should display XML structure.
Now you need to re-bind all SharePoint machines to WAC farm using New-SPWOPIBinding (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219441.aspx
). Next, you just need to set the WOPI
zone for external use even there is an internal use in your SharePoint environment.
1
Set-SPWOPIZone –zone “external-http”
Finally, configure Excel service and then upload an Excel workbook into a document library and check it. Below are the screenshots of OWA working on both internal and external environment.

Office Web Apps 2013

I've got a brand new Exchange 2013 CU2 farm set up, 2 CAS servers and 2 mailbox servers in a DAG and I'm trying to add an Office Web Apps 2013 server into the mix. First, can someone give me a reason why we would want or need an Office Web Apps server, if
all that's integrating with it is Exchange? From what I've read, it only offers Office document previews, but it appears to already have that functionality. Does it offer editing capability?
Second, I've followed all the guides I can find on integrating OWA (there has to be a better acronym for this) and Exchange, but I'm still getting errors when I try to preview an attachment.
For Word, it says "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document." For Excel, it gives an ASP-style error that says "Server Error in '/x' Application" behind the words "Excel Web App" and a continuous progress bar.
For Powerpoint, it says "Sorry, we couldn't open this presentation because we ran into a problem."
I've tried building a new OWA server, running 2012 R2 and all the updates, and the only commands I've run on the OWA server are "New-OfficeWebAppsFarm", giving the internal URL, the external URL, enabling editing, and giving the friendly name of
the certificate (which is a valid cert). On the Exchange side, I've run "Set-OrganizationConfig -WACDiscoveryEndpoint 'https://fqdn-of-owa-server'" and "Set-OwaVirtualDirectory -WacViewingOnPublicComputersEnabled $true -WacViewingOnPrivateComputersEnabled
$true -ForceWacViewingFirstOnPublicComputers $true -ForceWacViewingFirstOnPrivateComputers $true" for both CAS servers.
I've also tried it from different browsers, and added the OWA URL to the Trusted Sites in IE10 and IE11, but no dice.
Am I missing something? Even if I get the integration to work, what benefit does it give me?

Hi,
Office Web Apps Server Integration

Office Web Apps only opens some file types

I have a Office Web Apps (WCA) 2013 UAT environment that is connected to my UAT SharePoint 2013 farm. I can preview a lot of document types in Office Web Apps but other I get an error. For example pptx gives me the error "Sorry, PowerPoint
Web App ran into a problem opening this presentation. To view this presentation please open it in Microsoft PowerPoint".
All the excel file types work as does *.doc files. *.docx files fail.
I can't find any logging information in my ULS or event viewer logs.
Background: The OS on all servers is Windows 2008 R2, the OWA/WCA farm uses allowHttp as I will be behind a hardware load balancer. The issue is not to do with SSL or SSLoffload as most file types open.
The SPWOPIBinds look correct to me: Fails for the docx binding below
Application     : Word
Extension       : DOCX
ProgId          :
Action          : attend
IsDefaultAction : False
ServerName      : OWA-UAT.DEMO.LOCAL
WopiZone        : internal-http
Works for this WOPIBinding
Application     : Word
Extension       : DOC
ProgId          :
Action          : interactivepreview
IsDefaultAction : False
ServerName      : OWA-UAT.DEMO.LOCAL
WopiZone        : internal-http
Any ideas?

By default, there are 8 bindings for DOCX. Do you see any other bindings available?

Deploying 11g Fusion Web App: FacesServlet class not found

Hi,
I have made a very simple Fusion Web Application (ADF) having only one .jspx saying "Welcome Weblogic".
This application I would like to deploy onto my WLS 11g (10.3). I have installed the ADF Framework including the jsf 1.2 jar.
I have created weblogic.xml...
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<weblogic-web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-web-app.xsd" xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-web-app">
<library-ref>
<library-name>jsf</library-name>
</library-ref>
</weblogic-web-app>
..and weblogic-application.xml like this:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<weblogic-application xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-application.xsd" xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-application">
<library-ref>
<library-name>jsf</library-name>
</library-ref>
</weblogic-application>
When I deploy I get this error in the log:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet
at weblogic.utils.classloaders.GenericClassLoader.findLocalClass(GenericClassLoader.java:296)
at weblogic.utils.classloaders.GenericClassLoader.findClass(GenericClassLoader.java:269)
at weblogic.utils.classloaders.ChangeAwareClassLoader.findClass(ChangeAwareClassLoader.java:55)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306)
It seems like the weblogic.xml and/or weblogic-application.xml is ignored?
Or is it the insallation of the ADF Framework that is missing some configuration?
In the setDomainEnv.cmd file placed on the server the following is included:
if NOT "%POST_CLASSPATH%"=="" (
set POST_CLASSPATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\modules\oracle.jrf_11.1.1\jrf.jar;%POST_CLASSPATH%
) else (
set POST_CLASSPATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\modules\oracle.jrf_11.1.1\jrf.jar
Best regards
Mads Wermelin

Problem solved!
First I added following to the setDomainEnv.cmd
if NOT "%POST_CLASSPATH%"=="" (
set POST_CLASSPATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\modules\features\adf.share_11.1.1.jar;%POST_CLASSPATH%
) else (
set POST_CLASSPATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\modules\features\adf.share_11.1.1.jar
if NOT "%POST_CLASSPATH%"=="" (
set POST_CLASSPATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\modules\features\adf.model_11.1.1.jar;%POST_CLASSPATH%
) else (
set POST_CLASSPATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\modules\features\adf.model_11.1.1.jar
Then I came across another post having the same issue. He told me that I had to start up my server (managed server) manually. Therefore I first stopped my server
stopManagedWebLogic.cmd [servername]
(eg. stopManagedWebLogic.cmd AppServer)
and then started it
startManagedWebLogic.cmd [servername]
(eg. startManagedWebLogic.cmd AppServer)
Now the setDomainEnv.cmd also got executed (look in the server log to verify it - eg. java.library.path is set, and a lot more which is not set when you normally start the WebLogic)
So - I am now able to deploy Fusion Web Applications to my managed server in the WebLogic.
Best regards
Mads

JSF web app gives javascript error - 'dojo is undefined' and 'webui is unde

Hi,
BACKGROUND: I have created a Netbeans 6 Visual Web Project. I have also integrated my web app with RichFaces 3.1.3. My web application can be viewed properly and correctly when i deploy it on tomcat 6.
ARCHITECTURE: Our server configuration requires IIS to be our web server and tomcat to be our app server. Both are running on different machines. I have successfully linked up IIS 6 and tomcat 6 using the JK isapi_redirector.
PROBLEM: However, when i connect to my app via IIS, my starting page opens but the input box components on that page are not displayed and i get several javascript errors that read - 'dojo is undefined' and 'webui is undefined'.
Any help or advice in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!

I managed to find a workaround. Thought i should share it with those who are faced with a similar issue.
I found that a bug report had been placed in the past with Apache Dev. However, they had said that they would not modify their logic because the servlet container spec requires it (even though isapi_redirector is only a connector and not a container). They said that there is no way for the isapi_redirector to differentiate between /foo/WEB-INF when foo is a context and when foo is just a sub-directory of the ROOT web application. So, the general consensus was to err on the side of safety and risk blocking a few requests that are valid.
However, this causes a serious issue for those using NetBeans JSF Visual Web Projects. Hence, I created my own flavour of isapi_redirector by modifying the code such that this check is not performed and leaving the onus of checking on Tomcat.
For those who are interested, the simplest way to go about this would be to force the function uri_is_web_inf (in jk_isapi_plugin.c ) to always return FALSE.

Custom module templates for Web Apps

Just wanting to see if there's anyone out there who knows if the custom module templates from the September release are available for Web Apps? I can't seem to get them to work.
When placing {module_webapps,8168,a template=”/custom/wap-contract.tpl”} I get a "No Items Found" response. I would appreciate help as this would be very useful in building Web Apps and I can't find documentation on it
Thanks

They do work with Web Apps, I've been able to use it successfully. Here is the only documentation I can find on it so far:

Curious though, when you get "No items found" that means there are no web app items to show. So we don't really know if your custom template worked or not. If you can get some items to show up and they use the default layout, then we know something is wrong.
Hope this helps,
