Please help me about Sun Access Manager . . .

Hi every body,
I deploy successful Access Manager 7.1 on domain1 in GlassFish server.
At address admin console domain1 : http://my.test.domain:4848/
At adress listening : http://my.test.domain:8080/amserver/
And then I install Policy Agent 2.2 and deploy agentapp.war succesful on domain2 in GlassFish server.
At address admin console domain2 : http://my.test.domain:6868/
At adress listening : http://my.test.domain:6948/agentapp.war.
And then I deploy agentsample.ear on domain2 in GlashFish server and addess deployment is : http://my.test.domain:6948/agentsample
And then I login Access Manager that create policy : http://my.test.domain:6948/agentsample/*
When I browser http://my.test.domain:6948/agentsample on IE it redirect to Access Manager login.
But I read a attach document, it asked me, created user and asign roles employee, manager, admin.
I wondered that employee, manager and admin roles are available?
If it hasnt that roles, How to create it ?
And How to use LDAP and install Sun Directory server in window xp?
Then end, Can you tell me, Whats wrong if I configure like above ?
I hope you help me . . .
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I added a page to the wiki which adds more detail to the steps to create the sample app policies on the am/fam/opensso server console UI. This includes some screen shots as well.
This is one good thing about the sample app is that you have to learn to install the opensso server, install the agent, configure the agents properties for the sample app security and also use the opensso server UI to create policies.
It is a bit of work, but when done you will know how to use a lot of opensso features.
You do not need a directory server. The sample app readme refers to some directory things that really can be ignored. The wording should be changed.
Anyhow you can use this wiki page along with the readme to help you set up the policies, the subjects etc that map to the sample app
http://wikis.sun.com/display/OpenSSO/samplepolicy
I will try to make a getting started page for new users, though you have done most the steps now, and need to set up sample. But this page might be useful for others who want to get started http://wikis.sun.com/display/OpenSSO/getstarted

Securing web services with Sun Access Manager

Hi!
I have gone through some documentation about Sun Access Manager, and I'm a little bit confused.
What I want is to secure some web services which are deployed on a BEA WebLogic 9.1 server (WLS). Two solutions are possible: To install some kind of plugin into WLS or to place some kind of proxy in front of WLS. In both cases, the purpose would be to authenticate the caller based on some kind of ticket (SAML or similar) and authorize access to the web service.
I have read about the "Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 for Weblogic 9.1" (those guys really like long names....), but in this documentation web services aren't mentioned at all. They only seem to care about HTTP requests from a browser.
I have also read about the Policy Agent 2.2 in the documentation called "Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 Guide for Sun Java System Application Server 9.0/Web Services" (puh...). This document explicitly talks about securing web services the way I want.
My questions are:
1) Is it possible to secure WLS based web services in the same way using the Policy Agent for WLS?
2) Are there any documentation/tutorials/etc?
Thanks in advance :-)
Anders

what you need is a webservices agent that would enable you to "protect" your webservice provider, which I assume is on a BEA weblogic provider.
the "Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 for Weblogic 9.1" is "NOT" awebservices agent, but a normal J2EE policy agent.
So.. having said that. here's what I'd recommend.
1. install the webservices agent on bea weblogic. (note: NOT the J2EE policy agent)
2. configure it to use your access manager instance for authentication.
3. configure your webservices client to use the webservice provider. (note: you'd need the webservices APi's available on the client too... so the quick dirty method would be to install the webservices agent on your client too....) you can later bundle the webservices client independently and provide your"customers" with a webservices client bundle...
4. voila... your webservices are not "protected" by acces manager ;-)

I am not sure what it is.
/opt/SUNWma
What is this I was expecting SUNWam the access management software!
/opt/SUNWwbsvr -- This is the Web Server.
I know how to use it.
Can anyone tell me on how to go about it?
Is there any online tutorial for the same.
What is the difference between sparc version and x86. Can i use any of these on solaris 10?

I documented my installation procedure for Access Manager 7.0 (2005Q4) and Portal 7.0. Take a look at my wiki page:
http://wiki.its.queensu.ca/display/JES/Access+Manager+installation
It's a two node Access manager Legacy site and I also implemented session-failover using Message Queue and Berkeley Database.

Log file size in Sun Access Manager

Does anyone have an idea about the how the Sun Access Manager's log file size will increase in size with respective to the actions performed?
Can someone give a data regarding this? If someone has a better scenario and the supportive data w.r.t log file size it will be helpful.
Thanks,

I would like to take the log files backup daily (for future reference).
I need to know the following:
1) What log files need to be backup? Do I need to take all am*.* files (It will be around 3.5 GB in size)?
2) Ideally, I believe that only few MB of data goes into these am*.* files but, I cannot store every day 3.5 + GB of logs
3) I observed that these files (am*.* have every days activity added to them), So I would like to enable the Log rotation
Please let me know how can I proceed.
Thanks

Sun Access Manager 2005Q1 session failover is not working

Hi All
I m using Sun access manager 2005Q1,message queue 2005Q1, Sun Directory server 5.2 ,BerkelyDb 4.2.52 and radware hardware load balancer with sticky session.
I m have configured message queue and BerkeleyDB and both are running with any error.
I m using http://docs.sun.com/source/817-7644/ch5_scenarios.html#wp41008 doc for session failover.
Simple failover is working fine but the Session failover is not working.
Any body has done session failover with Sun Access manager 2005 Q1 I m trying to resolve this issue last two month.
Please it is urgent.

It works fine in 2005Q4, after applying a patch 120954 if I am not mistaken. But 2005Q4 and 2005Q1 are probably different in terms of session failover (site configuration etc.)
1. Stop both AM servers
2. Set logging to debug mode in AMConfig.properties.
3. Delete / move everything in /var/opt/SUNWam/debug
4. tail -f /var/opt/SUNWam/debug/amSession
5. Post that file here... you should be able to see if session failover is enabled etc....
hope this helps.

Integrating windows authentication with Sun ACCESS MANAGER

Hi,
I have implemented sun access manager and successfully protected an application (ABC). At present iam using the SDS as the authentication and authorization directory. I login in to the machine using the network username and password which is on AD.
I want to integrate my authentication/authorization mechanism from SDS to AD. so that when i login into the machine and open application ABC it should not ask me for the credentials; instead allow me to the homepage directly.
How to do this.
Thanks in advance
Maruthi

Hi!
Maybe this helps you, it describes how to setup AM and policy agent to handle basic authentication protected sites. While the article is about sharepoint it should work for any application.

How to configura multiple ldap server to the sun access manager

Hi,
please help how to configure multiple ldap server to the sun access manager, for example access manager does't find the user in ldap1 then it should search in ldap2.
Thanks
Mouli

There�s no need for deleting the default amSDK based datastore because it�s needed for some default accounts.
You may try to create the datastore using the commandline (amadmin)
Have a look /etc/opt/SUNWam/config/xml/idRepoService.xml
You may also try to create amadmin account in the external ldap directory.
(Un)fortunately i�ve never tried to remove the default datastore.

How to check amsilent file in Sun Access manager patch or redeploying WAR's

h1. How to check amsilent file in Sun Access manager patch or redeploying WAR's
I had a hard time getting all the passwords correct, so I wrote a shell (bash) script that uses most passwords and other parameters in searches and queries. It let's you know before you start if a value is wrong. It does not change anything, only queries.
h2. One pitfall I found ...
during the postinstall of patch 05. I told Sun about it, but I suspect it was too late and is also an issue with patch 06:
Look at the documentation regarding amconfig and the amsilent file:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2137/adsav?l=en&q=amconfig&a=view
Two problems that are clear to me now:
1. ADMINPASSWD in practice, this password is used for cn=puser, not amadmin as it says. Perhaps there is something that makes them the same. It was the same for me, so it probably does not matter.
2. AS81_ADMINPASSWD is not the same as ADMINPASSWD using either my definition or the document's definition. However, in the amsilent template, it is set like this, which I found is incorrect and the cause of my recent hair loss:
<blockquote>AS81_ADMINPASSWD="$ADMINPASSWD"</blockquote>
Also, this one if you use the web server:
<blockquote>WL8_PASSWORD="$ADMINPASSWD"</blockquote>
Delete the $ADMINPASSWD and replace it with the password for the app/web server.
h2. The Script.
It tests for the above problem, but I just realized it does not check $ADMINPASSWD. If that is set incorrectly in your amsilent, you'll get errors immediately from amconfig, so no big deal. If you make improvements, please post a reply!
Paste this into a file named checkamsilent. LDAP and appserver must be running. It reads /opt/SUNWam/amsilent. Run it as root or use sudo:
sudo ./checkamsilent
#!/usr/bin/bash
        echo "This will test several important parameters of the amsilent file "
        echo "run this as root."

Getting error while opening Sun access manager console

We are facing problem while accessing console of Sun Access Manager. We got No Page Found error whenever we try to access the Sun Access Manager console. We have tried restarting the directory server and web server but even that doesn�t help us. Following are the error that gets recorded in log files:-
ERROR: AuthD init() com.iplanet.dpro.session.SessionException: AuthD failed to get auth session
ERROR: Error creating service session java.lang.NullPointerException

The ns-slapd.exe process belongs to the Directory Server. You should therefore check if your DS instance is set up properly.

Policy Agent doesn't reset Sun Access Manager session time idle value

Hi,
We have the following setup in our environment:
- apache web server/web and policy agent 2.2 for apache 2.0.54
- webmethods portal server (jetty)
-Sun Access Manager (with Sun Directory Server)
We use policy agent for authentication purpose only (via Sun Access Manager/LDAP) when the users access the portal. We have custom code that creates session in Sun Access Manager for custom LDAP services. For testing purpose, we configure SAM session to have Max Session Timeout at 120mins and Time Idle at 15mins. I would assume that, after the initial login request, for all subsequent accesses to the portal the policy agent should intercept the request and reset the Time Idle value of SAM session. However, when I monitor time idle value using SAM console, session tab, the time idle value didn't change when the portal user access pages, submit actions, etc. I can see in the debug log of policy agent that requests are being intercepted/processed, but the time idle didn't get reset.
Does anyone know if this is a bug in configuration or in policy agent itself or am I making the wrong assumption?
Thanks a lot for the help.

Thanks for the reply, Shivaram. The issue appears to occur at random time, not accurately at the 3 min interval as you mention. I tested changing this value to 1, theoretically, after one 1 minute of idle time, accessing a link would make the agent reset the time idle value for the user session in SAM, but it didn't even after 3 minutes. This seems to be either a policy agent or system access manager bug.
We performed a 'vanilla' test using the apache server manual pages (only plain HTML, no POST requests), the pages are protected by the policy agent. At the first login, rwe were prompted to enter credential to be validated by SAM/LDAP, and then a user session is created in SAM session table. We browse around the manual pages, once in a while, certain pages cause the policy agent to reset the time idle. However, revisiting these links after a few minutes doesn't reset the idle value. Caching setting has been disable as well. Could there be or lack of some settings in AMConfig.properties or AMAgent.properties that might have caused this behavior?
Thanks for all your help,

Sun Access Manager login problem

Hi,
This is a very basic problem. I have installed Sun Access Manager 7 using JES installer. It is configured to authenticate against a LDAP datastore. I am able to login into the amconsole application using the amAdmin DN but I am not able to login with any other user that I create through Sun Access Manager.Any help will be highly appreciated.
TIA.

Hello,
When you create any user through SUN Access Manager, is that user is created in LDAP
datastore, or is it created in SAM flat file repository ?

Please help me about Sun Access Manager . . .
