Problems about Sun Access Manager

when I using Sun Access Manager, I found It is very slowly to access "http://host:ip/amserver" , but I also using OpenSSO, It is normal to access "http://host:ip/amserver".
Can anyone give any suggestions ?
Best Regards!

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

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.

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 ;-)

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 ?

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."
        echo "### read in the amsilent parameters"

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.

Sun Access Manager Resource & password resets

Hi,
I've got IDM 7.1 and AM 7.1, with a Sun Access Manager Realm resource. The LDAP directory (DS EE 6.0) sitting behind the AM resource has been set up to "Require Password Change at First Login and After Reset".
However, if a user in IDM changes their AM password, the connection to AM is done as the resource adapter user, not themselves; this means that the pwdReset flag is not cleared on their account in AM, and AM will demand a password change on next login.
This is obviously non-optimal for us, as we'd like them to change their password through IDM.
Is there any way to change the DS policies to allow for this situation, OR to set the pwdReset flag through the resource adapter, OR to get the resource adapter to connect as the user when the Change Password flow is performed?
Thanks,
Michael.

Hi Michael,
Could you please share the solution for the problem you are facing.
I am facing a similar issue.
When an admin resets the password of a user and when the user logs in, he/she needs to be redirected to IDM change password page. Instead the redirection to AM change password functionality is displayed.
Thanks,
Vinu

Sun Access Manager - Authentication Error

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to configure Sun Access Manager 7.0 with sun web server 6.1 and directory server 5.2 on windows xp.
I'm getting the following error when I try to login with uid=amAdmin
"Permission to perform the read operation denied to uid=amAdmin,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com"
I do not see any errors from the debug files. Could anyone help me in fixing this problem.
Thanks in advance,

Is your AM log level set to message? If not, set to message and retest. You should get output in your debug logs.
On the agent side, set your logging to all:5

Integrate IdM roles with Sun Access Manager roles

Hi all,
I am currently working on a solution involving Sun Identity Manager 7.1 and Sun Access Manager 7.1 as well. We use AM for overall authentication and SSO across the application, and IdM for user provisioning.
I need to create roles in Identity Manager, and I would like that when I assign a role to a user in Identity Manager, he gets the same role in my Access Manager repository (Sun LDAP). Identity Manager does provide a way to set attribute values in resources when a role is set. Access Manager on the other hand has both dynamic roles, based on an LDAP search, and static roles.
What are the important differences between static and dynamic roles in AM?
Does anybody know a good way to propagate roles from Identity Manager to Access Manager?
Thanks.

I found answers to my question. I succeeded in setting the Access Manager role from Identity Manager using the nsRoleDN attribute. Here are some references to begin with:
About directory server roles:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2493/fvbrn?a=view
Forum thread reference:
http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5208694
Here are roughly the steps I followed to get this working.
Access Manager roles setup:
1. In Access Manager, create a new static role named test_role under the identities realm (in Subjects > Role).
Identity Manager roles setup:
1. Create a new role in Identity Manager: tab Roles, click New....
2. Assign the LDAP resource to synchronize the role with.
3. On the Assigned Resources line, click the Set Attributes Values button. This shows up the attributes listing allowing you to bind your IdM role to your LDAP repository.
4. Set the attribute nsRoleDN to the LDAP DN of the role that was created in AM (nsRoleDN must be added in the resource attributes mapping before).
* In the column Value override, select Text.
* In the column How to set, select Authoritative merge with value, clear existing. (* See IDM Admin guide about this setting, I am still not sure how it reacts with multi-value attributes)
* In the text box, enter the role DN text (ex: cn=test_role,dc=com).
5. Save the role. You can now add the role to a user.

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?
Anyhelp getting started would be highly appreciated.

BO Authentication with Sun Access Manager

Post Author: aboucher
CA Forum: Authentication
Hi,
Is there a way to use Sun Access Manager (Role base) with BO. We are using XIR2 but we are willing to move to XIR3 if this version can do this job. I know that BO can be configured with LDAP, AD, Enterprise but is there a Custom choice. Any idea?
Thanks

Post Author: TAZ
CA Forum: Authentication
So quickly reviewing sun access manager it doesn't seem to be an LDAP server per se. It's more like a portal used for SSO. If that's the case then you would integrate LDAP accounts and then use technology like trusted authentication for SSO from the sun access maanger portal. In that case trusted auth will support just about any front end as long as the user info can be forwarded to us in one of 7 methods. You can read more about trusted authentication in the XIR2 deployment guide
http://support.businessobjects.com/documentation/product_guides/default.asp
Integrations of this level typically involvel in depth planning and should probably be done with the assistance of a BO consultant.

Tim

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.
