Portal Authentication from web service

I would like to run a web service on a remote machine that checks if the user of the web service exists as a portal user.
My initial thought was to just log the user in whenever they attempt to use the web service and then log them out at the end. I have researched the AuthContext class and attempted a test implementation however it errors looking for certain AM Property files.
Perhaps I should just access the directory server directly? Basically, I just want to restrict usage of the web service to the existing portal users.
If anyone could offer any suggestions it would be appreciated. (Code examples or snippets would be appreciated)
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
1) If your webservice is on the same network:
- Just bind to LDAP (this is the fastes way)
2) OR You can also use identity SDK to connect
to your instance and receive AMUser object.
3) If you are not on the same network( SRAP access):
You can create a "stand alone" jsp or servlet which
doing (1) or (2) and your webservice talks over https to this servlet.
4) Logging user to portal is too much overhead and
at the end you don't know if user is a portal user or
just has login privilege to identityserver...
Cheers,
Alex :-)

Calling portal service from web service

Hello,
I'm trying to call portal service from web service. Is this possible? I'm getting an error.
For example, code:
IJCOClientService clientService = (IJCOClientService) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IJCOClientService.KEY);
.. is generating exception:
java.lang.LinkageError: Class com/sapportals/portal/prt/runtime/IPortalRuntimeResources violates loader constraints
Do anybody knows what's wrong?
Best regards,
Josef Motl

Hi Josef,
Is the IJCOClientService located on the producer side or on the consumer side?

Create a schema from web service in eclipse

Hi all,
I'm trying to export some data out of SF to an 3rd party via a web service. In the webUI I have the possibility(Attachment 1) to create a schema from web service so my outgoing file matches the requirements. In Eclipse I cannot find that option and I'm encoutering some errors (attachement 2).
Can anyone tell me if there is a possibility like the web UI in eclipse?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can create a portal service which can access KM to create a folder and then expose this portal service as Web Services.

Presence data from web service

Hello,
i like to get presence data from the presenceconsumer web service. But everytime a call getUserPresence i get a PolicyException (POL0002): 'Privacy verification failed for address %1, request is refused'.
I use a web service proxy generated from the wsdl of the presenceconsumer web service. Authentication is made against the appregationproxy by setting username and password. Both users (the one i use for authentication and the one whose presence data i want to get) are registered in the timesten database.
The user whose presence data should be accessed is logged in the OracleCommunicator and has the other user on the allowed list for presence data.
All other operations of the presence web services work without any problem, so why not getUserPresence?
Thanks for help

Hi,
I have found the problem and fixed it :)
If you see my code, I was checking for the pending subscriptions after publish() method. When I tried this check before publish() method, I got the expected results (All the pending subscriptions).
Also, I got an error (ServiceException) while dynamically retrieving the subscribed attributes for some reason. I have found an alternative solution, by manually allowing only the PresenceAttributeType.Activity (instead of all getSubscribedAttributes()).
Note: This code was working fine in my local machine because, I have already setup-ed the users (Buddy list) through Oracle communicator in my machine. I was not able to install OC in the VM for some reason though OS is same in both my machine and the VM (OS: Windows 2000 SP4).
thanks & regards,
S.Vasanth Kumar.
My latest code for your reference.

Authenticating the web service

Hi
i am using a web service but not able there i have hard coded the username and password to access the web service i don't want that i want user should enter the user name and password used in UME authentication or it should call separate HTTP Authentication but i am not able to do that so please guide me in this regards
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Run through the following links to know about authentication for web service:

Facing problem while going to catch return result from web-services.

Hi everybody,
I am new to BPEL. I am facing problem while going to catch the attributes of resultsets returning from web-services(QAS). As far as my knowledge, two types of results it should return - XML entities and another is attributes which is coming as the part of XML entitites. I am able to catch the XML entities, but can't catch the attributes under it. Even, I am not able to see whether web-services returning something within that field.
When, I tried to catch the attribute and store to a temporary varilable using the following code:
*<assign name="AssignQASDoGetAddress1">*
*<copy>*
*<from variable="InvokeQAS_DoSearch_OutputVariable"*
part="body"
query="/ns6:QASearchResult/ns6:QAPicklist/ns6:PicklistEntry/@PostcodeRecoded"/>
*<to variable="temp"/>*
*</copy>*
*</assign>*
but, I am facing the following selectionFailure errors after running it:
*"{http://schemasxmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/}selectionFailure" has been thrown.*
-<selectionFailure xmlns="http://schemasxmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/">
-<part name="summary">
*<summary>*
empty variable/expression result.
xpath variable/expression expression "bpws:getVariableData('InvokeQAS_DoSearch_OutputVariable', 'body', '/ns6:QASearchResult/ns6:QAPicklist/ns6:PicklistEntry/@PostcodeRecoded')" is empty at line 269, when attempting reading/copying it.
Please make sure the variable/expression result "bpws:getVariableData('InvokeQAS_DoSearch_OutputVariable', 'body', '/ns6:QASearchResult/ns6:QAPicklist/ns6:PicklistEntry/@PostcodeRecoded')"is not empty.
*</summary>*
*</part>*
*</selectionFailure>*
Getting this error it seems to me that web-service is returning nothing, but, it returns something as it has been catched using a method called isPostcodeRecoded() Java Code in Oracle ADF. This method has been used as it should return boolean whereas for catching the xml entities using java code we used the method like getPostcode(), getMoniker().
For your information, we are using Jdeveloper as the development tool for building the BPEL process.
Am I doing any syntax error. Please consider it as urgent and provide me asolution.
Thanks in advance.
Chandrachur.

Thanks Dave and Marc, for your suggestions. Actually what I found is QAS web-service is returning nothing as attributes when the attributes are set to the default value. For example, following is the part of the wsdl of the result which QAS webservice returns.
<xs:element name="QASearchResult">

</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="PicklistEntryType">

<xs:element name="Moniker" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="PartialAddress" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="Picklist" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="Postcode" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="Score" type="xs:nonNegativeInteger" />
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="FullAddress" type="xs:boolean" default="false" />
<xs:attribute name="Multiples" type="xs:boolean" default="false" />
<xs:attribute name="CanStep" type="xs:boolean" default="false" />
<xs:attribute name="AliasMatch" type="xs:boolean" default="false" />
<xs:attribute name="PostcodeRecoded" type="xs:boolean" default="false" />
<xs:attribute name="CrossBorderMatch" type="xs:boolean" default="false" />
<xs:attribute name="DummyPOBox" type="xs:boolean" default="false" />
<xs:attribute name="Name" type="xs:boolean" default="false" />
<xs:attribute name="Information" type="xs:boolean" default="false" />
<xs:attribute name="WarnInformation" type="xs:boolean" default="false" />
<xs:attribute name="IncompleteAddr" type="xs:boolean" default="false" />
<xs:attribute name="UnresolvableRange" type="xs:boolean" default="false" />
<xs:attribute name="PhantomPrimaryPoint" type="xs:boolean" default="false" />
</xs:complexType>
here the attributes like FullAddress, PostcodeRecodedare , etc. are not being return by the web-service when it is getting the default value false. But, if it gets true then , it is being displayed at the BPEL console.
Do you have any idea how can I catch the attributes and its value even when it gets the default value which is already set. Previously, it was returning(it was not being displayed at the console).
Thanks once again for your valuable suggestions...!!!

Dates coming from web service

Hi,
I'm currently trying to consume in VC a CAF Application Service exposed as a Web Service. I'm able to retrieve what I want but I have a problem with dates format.
The web service returns dates in the following format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:NN:SS
When I test my data service in VC it works fine. When I run my iview, VC swap the month and the day and compute the new date...
It's not just a problem of formatting with DVAL and DSTR because the date is already computed.
Example:
Date returned from web service: 2007-09-21T00:00:01
Date returned from test data service in VC: 21.09.2007
Date returned at runtime: 09.09.2008
VC understand 21.09.2007 not like DD.MM.YYYY but like MM.DD.YYYY so 21.09.2007 becomes 09.09.2008
I also tried to check on the server Regional and Language option but it doesn't come from there.
Have you ever faced this problem?
Thx

Hi,
It is a Web Service generated by NWDS (to expose my CAF Application Service)and deployed on the server.
The url si like http://<hostname>:<port>/mywebservice/Config1?wsdl
The Web Service runs correctly.
When I call a method of my web service to retrieve a list of objects (CAF Entity Services) and their attributes, it returns attributes of type String and Dates of type 'java.util.GregorianCalendar'.
It seems that VC doesn't correctly understand this type of Date at runtime

Thomas

Set listbox items from web service response

Hi All
I am trying to set list box items from a web service response. Couple of issues over here:
1. The user should be able to select multiple items from the list. Hence if I set "Allow multiple values" and set Commit on "exit", then after the web service returns the output, no data is displayed in the listbox. I need to click inside the list box to see the data returned by the web service. How to overcome this..?? ( However this problem (clicking inside the listbox to see the items) does not exist if "Allow multiple values" is unchecked and Commit is set on "Select". )
2. After the list box is filled up, certain default values should be selected. This selection is based on one of the response field (which is actually a table with multiple values... ). Hence, how to capture this response field and set the default values in the above list..??
3. The same case for a dropdown. The values are visible in dropdown. However, a default value should be selected and displayed after returning a response from web service. Again, this default value is dependant on another field in the response as in point no.2
I am trying to use postExecute event as described in [this|http://forms.stefcameron.com/2009/03/23/pre-process-web-service-responses/] link...however not able to achieve the functionality. Please provide suggestions / inputs.
Thanks
Deepak

Hello,
first: I don´t know anything about the right solution. I am unaware of the existence of the solution, because there were quite many of question about this multiple selection problem and I don´t remember a single "answer".
I can recommend you to simplify everything and create the functionality yourself. I have done that before to avoid these "Adobe-standard" problems. If you have a problem with autofill of the object, ask your WS to send you a single string and pass it yourself using scripting (JS).
And if you have problems with multiple selection, create your own field/ object. Get the string of values, parse it, create multiple lines of the dynamic table with some suitable tool to check/ select the rows you need (use checkbox for example, and your text as a table row). This way you can selected anything you want with no problems at all. It wil only cost you some extra work.

How get data from Web Service with token?

We've now added this ability to Web.Contents. You can say something like
Web.Contents("http://my.web.service/1", [Headers=[#"The-Token"="0a0138ef2d"]])

Don't show data from web service to Cross-Tab in xcelsius

Hi all visitors
I have created one web service and my web service will show data like this.
Group ___Floor ____Amount
Member__Floor 1__1000000
Member__Floor 2__1000000
Member__Floor 1__1000000

Member__Floor 1__     1000000
Member__Floor 1__     1000000
In my xcelsius, i have option to make it to cross-tab.
when i use that data( data above by manual) to excel spreadsheet. The data will change to
Group______________Floor1________________Floor2______________GrandTotal
Member____________5000000_____________ 3200000_____________8200000
GrandTotal__________5000000_____________ 3200000_____________8200000
But when i load the data from web service,It doesn't show anything.

How to create a proxy to retrieve the xml file from web services

Hi Every one,
We have a requirment where we receive a xml file from Kenexa, a third party HR tool using a middleware tool. from SAP side We have to create a proxy to retrieve the xml file from web services by initiating call through middleware tool i used earlier.
these are the steps i intend to follow to accomlish the requirement.
1) middleware tool has to initiate the call to kenexa web services to receive the xml file when it is available.
2) On SAP we need to create a ABAP Proxy service provider to middleware where this file can be received.
Can any one guide me how i can create a proxy to retrieve the xml file from web services by initiating call through other middlewre (its not PI).
Any help would be really great, i am not a ABAP developer, so please help me with this. Thanks.

Thank for reply.
The computers are in different locations, but yes it's possible, the users in this enviroment are all local administrator of the machines, and we can distribute the script centrally from the DC automatically
Acrobat use Java, right? I'm not so expert in java, but something about it could not be so difficult to manage.
Do you know some place where i can get some info about JS and acrobat?
