POP3 support with iPlanet portal server

Greetings,
We are looking to use a web client (NetMail lite) or thin client (NetMail
lite applet) with iPlanet Portal Server 6.0 sp3 out-of-the-box that will
support POP3. It appears that NetMail lite used to support POP3, but it
appears to only support IMAP now? Is this true?
We are not using iPlanet Messenger Server, we are integrating with existing
POP3 servers. Has anyone found an iPlanet client for this or used a third
party tool for this?

through the netlet, to access your pop3 server.

Does anyone integrate siteminder with iPlanet Portal Server

I am trying to integrate iPlanet and Siteminder using the secure access pack. Has anyone successfully integrated the two?

yes,
we did basic integration where the authentication will be done using siteminder. The trick is to protect the portal server web server and not the gateway. You also need to add a new authentication module for siteminder in the portal using ipsadmin. We are protecting the login html page only. We couldn't protect the desktop because it's built using servlets.

Is there any documentation on integrating iDSAME with iPlanet Portal Server?

There is no official documentation. The full fleged integration with IDSAME would happen in the next release of portal.
The current integration is more of a proof of concept and is only for authentication and this has not been made public or neither is it supported.

Does the iplanet Portal server support other existing standalone Webservers/application Servers the likes of weblogic, websphere etc?

If so, will the session management aspect be looked after by the iPlanet Portal server?

The new version of Portal (6.0 I believe) will run on weblogic or websphere as well as iAS.

Crawling iplanet portal server secured content.

Hi, All,
I am new on the iplanet portal server. Try to come up a solution to crawling
the secured content with a valid user name and password. What this the
authentication mechanism of iplanet portal server keep the user's session?
is iPlanet Portal server using cookie to store the session id or pass it
back and forth as a parameter? Where can I find more information about this?
Any response is appreciated!

currently there is no testing tool available as a part of the product.

NetGenesis and iPlanet portal server

Hi Group,
Has anyone used NetGenesis (I believe NetAnalysis is the actual name of the
product) to track web traffic data? Have you used it for an iPlanet portal
server web site? Can you track a portal site the same way as you would
track a regular website?
Thanks in advance.

I think the servlet container in Portal is meant to be "black boxed" - ie
you shouldn't use it to run anything except Portal.
So stick with your tomcat, and you can integrate it using the normal
Portal APIs and Provider API.

Is there a similar location for iPlanet Portal Server 3.0? I have been

How do I restrict access by domain and the rest of the world to the documents in the public_html folder in iPlanet Portal Server?

Hello,
We have multiple domains configured in our iPlanet Portal Server 3 demo environment. In addition we are using the gateway.
In one of these domains the userTemplate.html file is tailored to display Macromedia Flash components at dynamic positions on the page. The logical home for these Flash components (since the portal software cannot find them if we simply store them in iwtDesktop) is somewhere below the /opt/SUNWips/public_html directory.
The problem is that once the file is stored here I can access it if I know the url (http://server:8080/file_path) without being authenticated in the domain.
The allow/deny url policy settings are specific to a domain and seem to have no affect on the rest of the world.
Any advice you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Joel,
If your intent is to block access to the doc root, you can probably use access control lists (acl) to prevent anyone from accessing the files stored under public_html. You can get more information about how to create ACLs from the following URL
http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/41/ag/esaccess.htm#1005439
You can even set up Basic Authentication for access to the direcory or ip based access or any which way you want. I've personally never blocked access to the doc root in portal, so I am not sure what the impact will be.
Hope this helps!

I want to write a java program that can add a user to a role or sub role to the Profile Database in iPlanet Portal Server 3.0. Does anyone has any idea or a sample program do such thing. Thanks, Tommy

// create the user profile, get the handle back,

ProfileAdmin newProfile = null;
try {
// the users profile name is the domain

     // the users to the default role of the domain they surfed to
     StringBuffer roleName = new StringBuffer(64);
// request.domain instead of domain_name if your doing this from a servlet ..

Has anyone every try using the iplanet portal server radius authentication module with cryptoCard?

We are using the easyRadius server from CryptoCARD. When we run the radius server in debug mode, it appears ips is sending multiple access-request message. Also, the server is coming back with a challenge which we are not expecting.

yes,
we did basic integration where the authentication will be done using siteminder. The trick is to protect the portal server web server and not the gateway. You also need to add a new authentication module for siteminder in the portal using ipsadmin. We are protecting the login html page only.

Does iPlanet portal server provide multi language support?

HI There,
You should be able to set up multiple languages based on the user locale. You can have different templates for each locale within your custom template dir. By convention the following is the order when the portal server checks for templates:
1.<dir>_<locale> (the localized, cust. directory first)
2.<dir> (non-localized, cust. directory)
3.default_<locale> (localized default directory)
4.default (default directory)
Each locale can obviously support a different language.
Hope this helps

Are there any known issues concerning using DIGEST-MD5 SASL authentication with iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 on Windows NT 4.0?

I am developing support for the DIGEST-MD5 sasl mechnism on a c-ldap client. I am using the evaluation version of the iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 which lists DIGEST-MD5 as a supported SASL mechanism. The server is running on NT 4.0 After installing the Directory Server with the test database, a changed the passwordStorageScheme from the default of SSHA to clear text. I then added my test user. When I run my test I always get back a resultCode of 49 (invalidCredentials). The digest-challenge I receive from the server and my digest-response are shown below. I have satisfied myself that the calculation of the response directive in the digest response is correct. Does anyone see any problems in the digest response or have any other suggestions? Is there a known problem with the iPlanet Directory Server 5.0?
digest-challenge:
realm="BGB2.ndp.provo.novell.com",nonce="Ed8UPLXsWaC6CN",qop="auth",algorithm=md5-sess,charset=utf-8
digest-response:
username="uid=bgbrown,ou=people,dc=siroe,dc=com",realm="BGB2.ndp.provo.novell.com",cnonce="A9IuPJKr30RiwL",nc=00000001,qop=auth,digest-uri="ldap/BGB2.ndp.provo.novell.com",response=97061205298e5ebaf206c8ac3598fdce,charset=utf-8,nonce="Ed8UPLXsWaC6CN"

Found the answer. When the username is an LDAP DN it needs to be proceeded by "dn:".
example: username="dn:uid=bgbrown,ou=people,dc=siroe,dc=com"
The server also accepts a simple uid value.
example: username="bgbrown"

Installation Error with iPlanet Directory Server 5.1 SP1 and Windows 2000

Hello,
I'm having real trouble getting iPlanet Directory Server installed on a Windows 200 Server machine. Every time I install it, no matter what options I choose, I get this series of popup boxes at the end:
- Setup is unable to store configuration data in the LDAP directory
- Unable to create Administration Server configuration
- Could not authenticate ldap connection, "Unknown error"
- Unable to set ACI in Configuration Directory Server
But searching on this forum, I have found a lot of post. I have tested the different solution proposed :
* Add on the host file the short name and the long name of my machine with it's IP adress
* When the installation process crash, uninstall the software, reboot the machine and then restart the installation
With all this solution, the problem is always here.
Could you help me ?

Are you using Terminal Services. iPlanet DS will not install properly over Terminal Services. You have to install from the direct attached console.

Weblogic server with Websphere Portal server

Hi,
I am having this peculiar problem.
I am using Websphere Portal Server and accessing an application which is running
on Weblogic
6.1. I am also using struts on both the portal server and weblogic server.
The first time I access a jsp which is on weblogic from websphere portal I get
it fine.
I have button on this jsp on submit of which another jsp on weblogic should come
up.
The problem is that on click of the button the URL which is being formed is
<ip of weblogic>/<path of portal server>.
I have no clue why this is happening and its driving me crazy.
Can anyone tell me whats happening?
Thanks
Siri

Siri-
This sounds like a URL rewriting issue with whatever proxy or tool you are using
to interface from WS to WLS. Basically, for the setup to work, any URL's that
are contained in the content served up by your WLS instance will have to be rewritten
such that your WS instance knows that the request is actually intended for the
WLS server.

Problem with iPlanet Directory server v5.1

Hi all,
We have upgraded (parallel) from Netscape Directory server v4.2 to iPlanet Directory Server v5.1
Here are few issues that I�m experiencing.
1. In the directory view, all accounts are displayed by the user ID rather then the Common Name like it used to be with the Netscape Directory Server.
I can not find any options to change the view.
2. When searching for the user, once user is found, i can not do the right click to be able to delete the user. (was able to in the older version).
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

I have a suggestion - try another means for administering your directory - use the console only for maintenance and tuning purposes. There are several products out there that are much better for day to day operations ...
Otherwise - I think with 5.1 the view is based on the rdn of the entries - and I am not sure it is customizable. Additionally I know 5.2 solved your second issue - maybe the latest SP of 5.1 has solved it as well - though I don't really know ...

Will Flex 2 integrate with WebSphere Portal Server

I have a few questions in trying to argue the case for Flex 2
to a very large client:
Will Flex 2 integrate with IBM WebSphere Portal Server ?
Will Flex 2 integrate with WebSphere if not with Portal
Server ?
Does Flex comply to the JSR168 Portlet specification ?
