Problem with authentication using UTL_DBWS

Hi,
I'm trying to call out to a web service from a PL/SQL procedure using UTL_DBWS. I am getting the following error when executing the procedure:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException: ARERR [149] A user name must be supplied in the control record
This is despite the fact that I have set the USERNAME property using utl_dbws.set_property. I am 99% sure that the problem is within my Oracle call, becuase I have used a web services utility (SoapSonar) to successfully call the web service, and I have also been able to recreate the error message using the same utility by removing the username information from the xml message header. I have also been able to successfully call the web service if I allow anonymous use of the web service (unfortuantely I need to use the security/authentication for this project).
I have used utl_dbws.get_property to verify that the USERNAME property is being set correctly, but it still seems that the username is not being included in the header when I call the web service with UTL_DBWS.invoke.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jason

Hi,
I'm having the same issue using UTL_DBWS. Calls to services that don't require authentication seem to work well using this package but I can't get the basic authentication calls working. When I examine the HTTP header it missing the "Authorization: Basic <base64-encoded-string>" line that I'd expect to see.
I'm using the utl_dbws.set_property procedure to set the USERNAME and PASSWORD properties.
Anyone have any ideas how to overcome this problem?
Cheers,
Anand.

Problems with authentication using MS 2005Q4

Hi everyone
I am new to SJS and trying to configure messaging server. I have a SJS cluster 3.1 running Messaging Server and Calendar Server.
I have a seperate system running the DS and the cluster MS server stores it's config in this DS. (also all the user/group settings). The root suffix for this installation is dc=xxx,dc=co,dc=uk. When I installed the MS I told it to create a mail domain called students.xxx.co.uk. This created the entry o=students.xxx.co.uk,dc=xxx,dc=co,dc=uk in the DS.
The MS services starts with no problems.
I then wanted to install MEM and UWC on another system. I installed Access Manager in legacy mode on the DS machine, and also DA. I can log in to the DA using the admin account, and I can see the domain name students.xxx.co.uk. I also see the students.xxx.co.uk entry in the Access Manager. I can create users in the AM server.
I installed the 3rd system with AppServer 8.1 (2005Q4), and installed UWC on port 80. I installed MS on the same server and configured just the Messenger Express component.
NOW all my problems:
1. I can connect to my cluster using telnet cluster 143 and 110
I can't authenticate. The error log on the cluster shows:

I tried to keep the config the same on the cluster and MEM, and I see on both:
/opt/SUNWmsgsr/sbin/configutil -o local.defdomain
students.xxx.co.uk
/opt/SUNWmsgsr/sbin/configutil -o service.defaultdomain
students.xxx.co.uk
On the MEM server, the Messenger Express login also fails, and I get this error:
Server internal error. Administrator, check server log for details.
This is the log:

Problem with authentication in OBIEE

Hello, I have a problem with authentication in OBIEE.
A user who does not exist, enter the application and can enter but can not access almost anything, it is very rare because in addition webcatalog are created within the folder with your name and no one created it.
any ideas?

I created SR and i solved the problem.
The problem wasn´t in weblogic. We migrated rpd 10g to 11g, I had define one initialization block session in RPD, when we disabled it, it´s running fine.
Oracle recomended work in weblogic in obiee 11g

sorry, wrong board - i opened a new post
Problem with BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 using JCo on IDES
Hello everyone,
we are working on a student project and would like to create customers (debtors) in an SAP IDES system.
Using the ref-customer to copy from, and some personal-data below, we get the error message
'Internal error: External no.assignment for reference customer/customer'
We also tried with BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETINTNUMBER, and ACCOUNTGROUP ZINT (New Internet Customer, others won't work?). But CREATEFROMDATA1 takes no CustomerNo created this way, nor it wants to create one 'internal'?
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot for your help,

Hello Brian,
Thanks for your pointer. Actually The customer's reference number i was providing in the PI_COPYREFERENCE structure was a sold-to party customer and it uses external customer number assignment. When i used "New Internet Customer" (that doesnt use external assignment by default) as customer's account group, the customer was created successfully and assigned customer number was returned.
I want to ask now how could we give a customer number in the BAPI as i am unable to find any such column in any of the tables. (Customer number is an "out" parameter so it can only return the number of created customer). Secondly, how to chnage the external assignment property of a particular account group (like sold-to party). i.e, how could we change the account group configurations through SAP GUI??

Problems with authentication

Problems with authenticated smtp on Mac mail 2

I do support for a small ISP and we are seeing problems with Mac Mail authenticating to the smtp server. The settings that should work are:
outgoing server: asmtp.gorge.net
Username: full email address
Outgoing server port: 2525 or 587
We typically turn on password for the authentication type. In some customers, nothing seems to work. They get an error that their email address can't authenticate. Any ideas on what settings might work for this?

Teri,
Reading the guidance for Outlook Express, I note:
"Step 11. On the Servers tab under Outgoing Mail Server, check the box titled My server requires authentication. Then go to the Advanced tab. Below select the option use same settings as incoming server. (emphasis added)"
In Mail, this is normally the same as specifying authentication of None, and not entering the Username or Password again for the Outgoing Server. This type of authentication, does not result in appending the Username entry (Username corresponds to Account Name in Outlook Express). Mail will authenticate to the SMTP with the Username and Password used for the Incoming, if prompted by the server, and the separate, hard, (and redundant) authentication resulting from using Password in the Outgoing Server entry boxes will cause a failure. However, this type of authentication (which is often called SMTP after POP3, or POP3 before SMTP) is normally conducted on Port 25. In my experience, the use of Port 587 is meant for those SMTP that must have a separate authentication, and where you will see the name altered to include the Username. Hopefully this will work with Port 2525, but I have not confirmed. SMTP after POP3 authentication does not help sending from remote providers, such as found in internet cafes, and this is why some ISPs provide a SMTP that does require separate, Password Authentication.
In the new Mail Setup Assistant, there is now the option to specify to use the same settings, but not enter the Username and Password -- this is not obvious, but well known by some ISPs, but not all -- this is really the same as changing to None in an existing account, and removing the Password and Username entries. Also, in Mail, I would NOT expect any default names to appear, unlike what your Mac Mail instructions imply.
Keep me posted.

Having a problem with creating/using a primary key on a view

I have a problem with a primary key on a view
I created the view and primary key as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW "MDD"."ROCK_LU" ("DESCRIPTION",
UNIQUE ("DESCRIPTION") RELY DISABLE,
CONSTRAINT "ROCK_LU_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("DESCRIPTION") RELY DISABLE) AS
SELECT DESCRIPTION
FROM MRMC_LU
WHERE ROCK = 'T';
The view with the primary key appears to have been created as there were no error messages. (The above was from the sql tab in sql developer.)
When I try to create the foreign key on my mdd_hr table - I get an error
/* hr_name - foreign key */
ALTER TABLE mdd_hr add CONSTRAINT hr_name_fk FOREIGN KEY (hr_name) REFERENCES rock_lu(description);
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-02270: no matching unique or primary key for this column-list.
When I lookup the index in sql developer, rock_lu_pk is not there.
All my other foreign keys work - but I don't understand what I am doing wrong with this one. Please help.
glenn
Background - as to why I want to use a view as a lookup table.
The MRMC_LU table that the view is created from is structured like:
DESCRIPTION - MINERAL - ROCK - MODIFIER - COMMODITY
ANHYDRITE - T - T - T
APLITE - T - - T
GRAPHITE - T - - - T
GREYWACKE - - T
DESCRIPTION is a list of all names of minerals, rocks, modifiers and commodities. T is entered in each valid field. Often a description name is used for both a mineral and a rock or a mineral and a commodity or any other combination. Because this database is just starting up, it was more efficient to create one table that could be updated (and thereby automatically update the MINERAL_LU, ROCK_LU, MODIFIER_LY, COMMODITY_LU views) rather than create and maintain four separate but similar tables. A primary key cannot be generated for the MRMC_LU table as there are nulls in each column
except DESCRIPTION.
Perhaps there is a smarter way to do this?

You can specify constraints on views and object views. You define the constraint at the view level using the out_of_line_constraint clause. You define the constraint as part of column or attribute specification using the inline_constraint clause after the appropriate alias.
Oracle does not enforce view constraints. However, operations on views are subject to the integrity constraints defined on the underlying base tables. This means that you can enforce constraints on views through constraints on base tables.
Restrictions on View Constraints
View constraints are a subset of table constraints and are subject to the following restrictions:
You can specify only unique, primary key, and foreign key constraints on views. However, you can define the view using the WITH CHECK OPTION clause, which is equivalent to specifying a check constraint for the view.
Because view constraints are not enforced directly, you cannot specify INITIALLY DEFERRED or DEFERRABLE.
View constraints are supported only in DISABLE NOVALIDATE mode. You must specify the keywords DISABLE NOVALIDATE when you declare the view constraint, and you cannot specify any other mode.
You cannot specify the using_index_clause, the exceptions_clause clause, or the ON DELETE clause of the references_clause.
You cannot define view constraints on attributes of an object column.

Problem with sendRedirect using relative URL in WebLogic 5.1 with SP7 & 8

I patched to SP 7 (and also 8), and the request.sendRedirect() with relative
          URL failed. The browser simply displayed "404 - Page not found".
          This problem only happens in a cluster environment attached to a web server.
          SP6 or earlier does not have such problem.
          I noticed that the latest SP always formats the URL and returns it as a full
          absolute URL to the browser. The problem is it uses the Weblogic Server host
          URL where the request is processed (not the Web Server host URL) which is
          not visible to the internet.
          Is it possibly a bug in SP?

Problems with text using Photoshop CC on Windows 8.1

I am using Photoshop CC on Windows 8.1. I get flickering on the screen as described by others. My main problem, however, is that when I try to use the text tool the layer goes completely black and I cannot see what I am typing or edit the text. I have tried updating my video card driver and my monitor driver. I have deleted the font cache file, I have tried using Photoshop without plug ins (I use Nic plug ins). The only thing that has worked is resetting the preferences by holding down alt+control+shift keys when starting photoshop. This allows me to enter text normally on one photograph and one only. Once I have completed that first photograph and load another I get the black layer. I desperately need help. If this continues I will have to cancel my membership as I was much better off using my Photoshop Elements 11 disc.
Any help will be very gratefully appreciated...............help seems to be very difficult to come by Adobe you make it very difficult for your customers!

Ok,I can appreciate that I may not have given enough information. You state that without proper system information nobody can help, but I need to know what information is needed. You also state that I should simply turn off hardware acceleration in the perfs. What does that mean? How do I do that? I have tried changing the GPU Drawing Mode to basic and it didn't work. Is this what you mean? You may be assuming a level of knowledge I do not have. From research I have done this seems to be a problem with windows 8.1 that Adobe have been aware of for about a year. I have followed all the online advice I have been able to find but nothing seems to be working.

Problems with navigation using JSF 1.0 RI

I have a problem with faces in that navigation simply stops working. I have a page which have prev/next buttons on it, and a cancel button. Each button is of the form
<h:form id="viewxxx">
<h:commandButton value="XXX" styleClass="buttonInput" action="#{somebean.doSomeAction}"/>
</h:form>
The code behind the next/prev button action returns "success", the cancel returns an action string which returns the user to the previous screen.
After clicking on prev/next a few times one of two possible things happen:-
(1) the navigation stops working (all buttons do nothing)
(2) or after pressing a button a few times the navigation starts to work.
I tried to simplify things to find out if my backing code was causing the problem. I included a very simple button:-
<h:form id="view_c_getridofme">
<h:commandButton value="Test" styleClass="buttonInput" action="success"/>
</h:form>
and after clicking this a few time it also breaks the navigation. So I suspect something strange is going on inside the Faces implementation.
I checked the faces-config.xml and this is correct:

<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/viewcorr.jsp</to-view-id>
<redirect />
</navigation-case>
I tried (albeit briefly) MyFaces 1.0.3 and the navigation does not break although it does present some other issues for me. My preference would be to use Sun's JavaFaces implementation if possible.
Can anyone shed light on this - why this may be happening?

I experienced the same problem while re-submitting to the same page about 15 times via a command button (a list page that would get updated with every new submit).
After having turned JSF logging on I discovered that my stylesheet (!) was interpreted by JSF as a Faces view (because of the /faces/-mapping before it) and that this caused the list page to be (incorrectly) added up towards the maximum of 15 views in the session. After 15 reloads JSF would remove the list page from view, re-create it, and I experienced the same problems as you described in the top post - no navigation worked.
My stylesheet used to be:
<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="../../css/foo.css">
... which kept the /faces/ mapping from the page containing the css reference, and made it look like a faces view to JSF.
When I switched to:
<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="/css/foo.css">
... the problem disappeared.
Hope that helps all of you that have this problem. It certainly took me quite a while to figure it out!

Problem with scrolling using my touchpad with the new Firefox update

I just updated Firefox to 9.o.1, I run Windows 7 and I'm using a HP G62 Notebook PC. Ever since I have updated, I can no longer scroll on webpages using my touchpad. If I use an external mouse, I have no problems. I have also not had any problems with other applications, so I assume that this problem is related to the new update. Is there anything that I can do to fix this now, or will I have to wait for the next update?

hey guys,
i have a problem with my new iphone. i bought an iphone on ebay and now i want to use ist with my t-mobile-sim-card, but it doesn't work. First it worked, but i found out, that the iPhone was jailbreaked, so I updated it to firmware 3.1.3 to delete this jailbreak. but it doesn't work now with my simcard (it's not a prepaid) and itunes says, that the card isn't compatible. maybe someone can help me... it makes me very angry. i spend so much time to get the money for the iphone and now this ****...

When you installed the new 3.1.3 firmware you locked the phone back with att. Previously being jailbroken and unlocked allows you to use other sim cards but now that you updated the firmware its not possible. What you can do is wait for someone to come out with a way to jailbreak the new firmware and unlock it yourself.

Problems with Restoring using Migration Assistant

Hi
I'm trying to restore my files from time machine using Migration Assistant. I keep getting this message which I don't understand. Can anyone advice ? Thanks.
+NTFS-3G could not mount /dev/disk1 at Volumes/Untitled because the following problem occured: Error reading bootsector: Input/Output error. Failed to mount 'dev/rdisk1':Input/output error NTFS is either inconsitent or there is a hardware fault or its a SoftRAID/ FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chdksk/f on Windows then reboot into Windows. The usage of the /f parameter is very important! f the device is a SoftRAID/ FakeRAID thenfirst activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, Ie.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia+eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details.+

I don't do Windoze, but that looks like you've backed-up a virtual machine via Time Machine, and there's a problem with it.
First question: why are you restoring, and why are you using +MIgration Assistant?+
If you want to restore everything from your backups, do a full system restore, per #14 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
Most folks exclude those from Time Machine, and back them up separately.
Your best bet is to skip the contents of the folder they're in while running +MIgration Assistant+, then restore everything else in that folder selectively, via the "Star Wars" display. You may or may not be able to restore the vm file(s), but at least you should be able to get everything else that way.
