Portal Session Problem

Hello all!
I am trying to log-on to my portal with two different users parallel.
Example:
1. Open Internet Explorer -> Portal -> Logon as Administrator
2. Open Internet Explorer once again (NOT String-N) -> Portal -> Logon as another user
The problem is, that if I am opening the second Internet Explorer, he automatically logs-on as the Administrator. He is using the first portal session.
I also tried this with the moziall firefox. Same problem.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards, Patrick.

Hi Patrick,
Logon with the admininstrator and open the personalize option in the masthead.
Check the option WorkProtect Mode and ensure that the option Use default portal setting is selected.
Thanks,
Trikanth

Portal session not being terminated. browser "unload" event

This line of code is in the portallauncher.default and eventually causes the problem:
EPCM.subscribeEvent("urn:com.sapportals.portal:browser", "unload", releaseProducerSessions);
releaseProducerSessions eventually calls a portal component
WSRPSessionRelease.. which is causing the problem.
When we upgraded from EP 6.0 to NW 2004, users started recieving the Netweaver Login Screen when they logged out and logged back in, in the same browser. We think this error occurs because NW 2004 implements Web Services Remote Portal functionality.
We are using SiteMinder as a third party session management tool.
What we found was that the Siteminder session was being killed but the Portal session was not. Therefore, when users logged back in they would see the generic Netweaver Login Screen, and they could actually just hit "enter" and continue to the portal.
A successful logoff, users clicked the logoff button, the DSM terminator was being called, thus killing the portal session, then a form was submitted redirecting the users the the siteminder loggoff page, which logs the users off siteminder.
When the logoff failed, we found that after the DSM Terminator was called
and before the page was being redirected, a portal component
(WSRPSessionRelease) was being called, which in turn, RECREATED the portal session. So the user never actually gets logged off from the portal.
We found that the WSRPSessionRelease component is set to
a "browser" "unload" event when the portallauncher.default component is first loaded. This is the same component that is being called when the user clicks the "X" to force close the browser.
Not everytime is the WSRPSessionRelase component being called before the redirect to the siteminder logg off page. Sometimes this component is called after the redirect, and we find that this is a successful loggoff.
The component is:
irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.wsrp.coreconsumer.WSRPSessionRelease

Hello Michael,
The 'log off' issue is a known issue with Portal since EP 6
Had faced similar issue and SAP suggests to redirect the 'log off' link to another non-SAP site...like your company intranet site.
This will help the session to break.
There are 1-2 SAP Notes on this as well.
Hope this helps.

Portal session to iWS with NES plug-in to Weblogic server

Hi All,
Are there any known issues/problems with Portal sessions (iPS3.0sp3a) using an iPlanet Web server v4.1x with an NES plug-in to proxy requests to a Weblogic server?
Look forward to your reply.

Variety of things to consider here, what kinds of requests your passing across and where the connector isinstalled. If the connector is installed in the same web server instance as portal, the web server could be overloaded ..

Portal session still exist in child window after logout main window

Hello community,
here's a short summary about our business scenario:
We use performance management (SAP HCM) within our SAP ERP 6.0 and SAP NW Portal 7.0.
With the application performance management we use some bsp- and webdynpro-iviews from the business package MSS.
Some of these applications opens a second portal window (child windows) for doing the work.
If the user logoff only the main portal windows with the "logout"-link and also close this window (e.g. he forgot to close the child windows) the user have the possibility to make changes (e.g. in the opened performance management document) in the child window.
This behavior isn't allowed according our company principles. If the user logout on any portal window (also at creating of new portal sessions with STRG+N) all the sessions of the user should be terminated.
Which possibilites do I have to solve this problem?
Thanks for your help!
Kind regards,
Bernd

Hello,
yes, I found a solution.
In the iView-parameter you can put in the following value:
PortalSessionID = <ClientWindowID>
This value ensures that in the opend window no changes are possible.
In the opend child window there is now a pop up to log on to the ERP-system.
Kind regards,
Bernd

Invalid Portal Session

While browsing through the forums, I got the message below :
Invalid Portal Session*
An error was encountered while processing your Portal request, because your portal session is no longer valid. You have been logged out and you will automatically be redirected to the OracleAS Portal home page in 30 seconds. Click OracleAS Portal home page to go directly to the OracleAS Portal home page, or if your browser does not automatically redirect you. If you continue to have problems while accessing OracleAS Portal, close all your browser instances and try again.

Hello,
In our case, I have tried Opera, Safari, Chrome and Mozilla browsers and none of them show 'Invalid Portal Session' error. It only occurs with Microsoft Internet Explorer. And this happens consistently with IE. Not a single time it succeeds unless F5/Refresh is hit.
What could be the reason for this and how can it be resolved. We are running Oracle 10.1.2 AS.
Thanks.Nicolas asked the question about the Oracle Forums. Since this is a Forums Community issue, he correctly asked it in the "Community Feedback and Suggestions (Do Not Post Product-Related Questions Here)" Forums area.
You seem to be asking the question about the Oracle Application Server Portal product. Even though it appears your question and Nicolas' may be related, you are probably asking the question in the wrong area.

Closing and Killing Portal Session Error

Hi Experts,
I'm getting some problems with my killing sessions. We did some implements with Integrated Planning and repots are running in the portal. I have noticed a dramatic low performance in my portal and I realized that sessions are not closing in the portal. I've been trying log our from the portal session and the session still alive (I seem them in SM04 transaction). How Could it be possible if I'm logging out properly?..... Is there something I've been missing???? What else Could I do for fixing the problem???
Thanks for your help (Any help would be rewarded).

Hi,
As far as understand you are running reports from an ABAP backend system in the portal and the sessions in the ABAP backend system are not closed by the portal.
Which technology are the reports based on (BSP, transaction) ?
It seems to me the Distributed session management(DSM) in the portal is not working and therefore not triggering the closing of the sessions in the backend when the user logs off or navigates to another page.
(it might also be that the BSP is defined as stateful )
See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ca/a9a7408f031414e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm for more info on DSM

Logging of the OWA kills portal session

Hi,
I have integrated OWA iViews into Portal.
The problem im facing is when im clicking the logoff button on the OWA
iViews, the Portal session is killed.
I confirmed this from the SAP Note 732911
Could you please provide me with any updated solution or work around.
whether the problem is rectified ??.
Regards,
Ricky

The Problem has no solution as of now. It is confirmed when i raised an OSS Note for the same.
According to the JSR page 63 line 25
For portlets within the same portlet application, a portlet container must ensure that every portlet request generated as result of a group of requests originated from the portal to complete a single client request receive or acquire the same session.
In addition, if within these portlet requests more than one portlet creates a session, the session object must be the same for all the portlets in the same portlet application.
Hope this will help others immediately...without spending a long time by searching and raising OSS notes.

How to set a variable in portal session using web dynpro java.

Hi,
I have created a web dynpro application, which is running inside portal. I have created a role called "R1". Inside role R1, i have created 3 workset W1, W2 and W3. and inside each workset i have some pages and iviews.
My requirement is when user logins to the portal , and when he clicks on role R1 for the first time, a login page should come (so that we can do revalidation), and when he enters his password again in that login page , then only workset W1, W2 and W3 should be visible/accessible to him and after successful revalidation, if he clicks again on role R1, in that particular portal session, than that login page should not come.
for this, i thought i will set a variable in portal session, whenever user successfully revalidated himself, and if after successful revalidation he clicks again on role R1, i will check in doinit method of webdynpro whether variable is set or not (which i already set on successful revalidation), and if it is set then i will do Donavigation else i will present login page to the user.
Can anyone tells me how to set a variable in portal session using web dynpro java.
thanks

Hi,
Try this:

Can portal session cookies be used between two data centers

OAS generates the following header information and session information for my application. However when I need to failover the originating OAS datacenter into my hot stand-by for maintenance or upgrades, the OAS in the other datacenter responds with a 503 web error. We are using Akamai's GTM to manage the liveness of the datacenter, so we would need the hot stand-by OAS portal in that datacenter to return a 302 error code. Is there some method that we can add to our portal application which would always return a 302 error code.
See header information collected through wfetch. The 503 error is caused by the hot stand-by data center not accepting or recognizing the cookie. Both OAS datacenters are IDENTICAL in Oracle levels, application levels, web servers, portals and OS patches.

Hi John,
This question is probably more appropriate in one of the Portal forums, but perhaps you can take a look at the information in section C.5 Configuring the Portal Session Cookie in Appendix C of the Portal Configuration guide.

Portal Session content in BSP

Hello,
My BSP inside an iView is located in the xRPM content. What I now try to achieve is, to hand over the chosen project-id from the portal to the BSP - iView.
request->get_cookies provides me with the cookie "sap-appcontext", which I think contains the portal session-id. Since BSP has it's own session-id, I somehow have to get the session - content of the portal, where I hope, the chosen project-id is stored.
Am I on the right way?
I would appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Daniel

How can I register such an event inside xRPM-content without modifying the standard-source? Or how can I find out, if there's an event fired I could use?
I see no real easy way. I have never seen the source code of xRPM, and know no developers inhouse to ask directly. Effectively portal eventing is just JavaScript code. To see if xRPM supports any events, why not look at the outputted HTML. Look for anything to do with EPCM, or search for events.
It's hard to understand, why it's not possible to access session-information of the portal from a BSP started in the same page...
What exactly session information do you wish to know. From my understanding, you have a BSP running inside the portal. Inside this BSP application you wish to know something. I assume not exactly session ids, but some other information from the portal. Maybe this helps us.
At the low level of HTML is might be easier to understand. The portal renders the HTML page, and then starts the BSP inside an <iframe>. The BSP does not know anything about the surrounding environment. Of course you could use JavaScript to walk up the dom (document.parent) and look at things inside the other frames. But keep in mind you are in the browser, and not on the portal server, not in the ABAP stack (where BSP is). So you can only look at rendered code. And this can (and will) change per SP.
At the end of the day it is all plain HTML in your browser, and this are what sets your limitations.

Java Session problem while sending mail(using javamail) using Pl/SQL

Hello ...
i am using Java stored procedure to send mail. but i'm getting java session problem. means only once i can execute that procedure

Session problem in jsp application

I face a session problem. I setting everything in a session and when pass back to a main page, the value is not display in the screen. But after refresh the value will display in the screen and this kind of problem only come out very few time and i dun knw how to solve this...
Anyone here can give me some idea and suggestion or the way to solve this kind of problem!!!

define "2 different clients"
1) You have 2 different PCs and it's using the same session ID for both? I doubt this. I think the server is advanced enough not to use give a session ID that's already been created.
2) You have 1 PC and are using IE or Netscape and using File > New Window to open a new window and connect again. This you can't fix without using only URL rewriting to manage session, because the different windows will share the same session cookies.

Portal Session Timeout and Logon Ticket Timeout

Hi All,
Can anyone give me answers to the following:
- If my Portal session times out, but my logon ticket is still valid, will I lose my session data?
- Is there any way of determining the size of a users session information in memory (or the size of all user sessions in memory). I can see in the Monitoring service in Visual Admin the number of sessions but not their individual or total size.
I'm using EP7.
Cheers,
Steve

Hi,
the Logon Ticket is only used for SSO between the portal and the integrated system. Your session data is stored in the session. If the session times out or gets closed, the session data is lost.

Portal Session gettable?

Hi all!
Is it possible to get the IPortalComponentRequest details in a webdynpro application. I don't want to pass data through the Application Parameters in the Portal.
In short, Can I read directly from the Portal Session.
Best regards,
Andreas

It seem that you do not add necessary libraries to your project.
If you are creating a Development Component, add reference to DC SAP-J2EE/com.sap.security.api and select the only public part in this DC.
If you are creating stand-alone WD project open Project Properties -> Java Build Path and add external jar:
<path-to-nw>eclipse\plugins\com.sap.tc.ap\comp\SAP-JEE\DCs\sap.com\com.sap.security.api.sda\_comp\gen\default\public\default\lib\java\com.sap.security.api.jar
This is a built-time support for security classes.
For runtime, also add a reference to classes at runtime. Open Project Properties -> WebDynpro References -> Libraries and add line com.sap.security.api.sda
Disclamer: I'm not sure regarding latest item. If it doesn't work, try to add instead Interface Reference to security_api

Portal session Timeout

Hi,
I want to increase the portal session timeout to 2hrs. We have 2 Portal server which are load balanced. The configuration is as below:
Portal Version: 10.3.0.337003
.NET Version: 2.0
OS: Win 2003 Server
Database : Oracle 11g
IIS:6.0
On both the server I have edited the session time out parameter corresponding to the file as mentioned below:
Portalconfig.xml :
<setting name="BrowserLoginTokenExpiration">
<value xsi:type="xsd:integer">120</value>
</setting>
BEA Web.config
<sessionState cookieless="false" timeout="120" />
.NET Web.Config
<sessionState timeout="120" />
But still the we are not able to achive 2 hrs of session timeout. Do we have to make entry in .NET machine.config? Please let me know if thier is any other file where changes is required?
Also in lower environment, we have our portal installed on .NET 2.0 framework ( only one instance of portal server ), we are able to achive 2Hrs of session time out by modifying the state management session time out value ( default website-> properties->asp.net tab->edit configuration->state management tab)
Please help me!!
Edited by: Oracle WCI on Oct 10, 2011 1:43 PM

As per the documents share by oracle support..only place in WCI 10gr3 (10.3.0.1) and IIS where we set timeout value is State Management tab (default website->portal ->properties->asp.net->edit configuration-state management)..we have this valye set to 2Hrs (120 min) on both the portal server ( load balanced)..but still portal is getting time out after 1 hrs..I am not sure which external factore is limiting this to 1 hrs..
both portal server are load balanced and IWA is implemented...
Any light on the external factor line SSO setting, Load balanced ..etc will be higly appriciated..Please help!!
