Propagating Security information

I would like to get some help on the following problem. I am using App Server 8. Lets assume all the security data (username/password) is stored in a Directory Server.
I need to do the following:
-- There is a servlet which is authenticated using form based authentication.
-- Once authenticated, it will call a session bean
-- This session bean will work with an external resource using a resource adapter which I have written.
My question is -- Is it possible to propagate the username/password all the way to the RA, which uses the same username and password to get a connection?
If yes, please tell me how.
If not, can you suggest some altrenatives?
Basically, whatever method I use (like principal mapping etc), I would like to get the credentials (username/password) from the DS.
Thanks in advance for the help
Regards,

(username/password) from the DS.You can use a custom realm to talk to your directory server
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/appserver/reference/techart/as8_authentication/index.html
The appserver comes with a realm called LDAPRealm that you can use to authenticate against your directory server.
About the second part about using the username/password to get a connection to the RA. I have asked somebody from the connector group in the appserver to reply to you.

    The option to reset my security information tab is not available for me, I have a rescue email address in place and it still doesn't show up. Please help!

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of doing so include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • I receive Security Information Required message when I try to rent an itunes movie from my apple tv. I rent fine from my macbook, and have sharing turned on, WTH?

    My apple tv appears to work fine, watching netflix and other apps. but when I try to rent an itunes movie I receive the Security Information Required message. I have sharing turned on, the apple tv and macbook are logged into the same apple ID.
    WTH?
    pretty frustrated.

    It's telling you to verify your payment details. You need to go into iTunes on your computer and check that your address and credit card info are accurate. You will also need to make sure you have put in your security code.

  • How to avoid security information pop up when using BSP in SRM

    Hi. I have created a custom BSP and have flagged it as HTTPS in the properties, and the URL does start HTTPS.
    I have then put this BSP in a role in SRM and can access it from the internal ITS after logging into SRM. Obviously the main SRM URL is also HTTPS. The BSP actually does its job fine.
    However, when I click on the BSP I get the security information pop up telling me that the page contains both secure and nonsecure items every time.
    How can I avoid this?
    I have read the article on the wiki, but it does not apply to my BSP as there are no links at all in my BSP, and everything is HTTPS.
    We can not change the IE settings as all our desktops are locked down and configured in the same way from an outsource company.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Dave.

    Hi. I'd already seen that, and it is not quite the same as mine. That link is about calling a BSP as a catalog in SRM and switching from HTTPS to HTTP.
    I am calling the BSP direct from the SRM main menu and everything of mine is HTTPS, I am not switching.
    Do you have any other ideas?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Dave.

  • Can't Purchase anything in App Store, Additional Security Information Needed

    I am trying to make a purchase from the App Store in Snow Leopard 10.6.8, but can't make any purchases. When I try to purchase, I get the message, "Additional security information is needed. To use this Apple ID you must first login to the my info web page then provide additional security information." But when I click on Update Security Info, it brings me to a page at https://myinfo.apple.com/ but the page will not load, and it says that Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server. I have also tried it in Firefox and it does not work there either.
    I went to the Apple Store online, and updated my account info with the proper credit card and information, but it has not helped. What is going on here.
    This is for my bosses account and not my account, and we need to purchase some software for this machine, but are completely unable.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm having the same issue.  We have recently signed up for the Volume Purchase Program.  I created the Facilitator account, logged into the VPP site, then got a message that additional information was needed.
    When I click the link to "Update Security Info", I get an error page on the browser...
    I have tried the same process in Firefox and received a similar message...
    I then proceeded to try the same thing on a Windows 7 computer with Internet Explorer, no good...
    Next, I thought the problem might be related to my firewall, so, I attempted it on a computer OUTSIDE the firewall, no good.
    Then, I tried it from home on my ipad, no good...
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • The requested security information is either unavailable or cannot be displayed

    Hi all,
    I've a file server Windows 2008 (not R2) with Service Pack 2, 32 bit. I've a shared directory this directory is the target of a remote FTP server. In this directory I've some files (that a user has put in via FTP) but if I try to view their NTFS settings
    I get:

    Hi Andrea,
    According to your description, it may cause by the UAC was enabled. Please try to template disable UAC for a test, then reboot the server to see if it works.
    For detailed information about UAC, please refer to the following article:

  • Problems Getting Security Information

    SDK:  BI 4.0 SP6 - I have both the server and the client tools apps installed on my laptop.
    I'm working on an application that pulls folder security information (among many other things!) and exports it to a .csv file so that we can analyze it.  However, it appears that the security info is not being pulled correctly.  Here are the various bits of code that I'm using:
    CMS Query:
    Select * from CI_INFOOBJECTS where SI_KIND = 'Folder' order by SI_NAME
    For each folder returned in the above query, information is stored in a FolderInfo object (a class that I've written):
    public FolderInfo (IInfoObject fldr, boolean doAdvanced, boolean favFldr) throws SDKException{
      id = fldr.getID();
      title = fldr.getTitle();
      kind = fldr.getKind();
      cuid = fldr.getCUID();
      folder = qh.getParentPath(fldr, "CI_APPOBJECTS");
      favorite = favFldr;
      loadSecurity(fldr, doAdvanced);
    The loadSecurity() method is this (SecurityInfo is another class that I've created):
    protected void loadSecurity(IInfoObject o, boolean doAdvanced) throws SDKException{
      ISecurityInfo2 si2 = o.getSecurityInfo2();
      IExplicitPrincipals ieps = si2.getExplicitPrincipals();
      for (int i = 1; i <= ieps.size(); i++){
        IExplicitPrincipal iep = ieps.get(i);
        SecurityInfo si = new SecurityInfo(iep, accessLevels, doAdvanced);
        hasAdvancedSec = hasAdvancedSec || si.hasAdvancedRights();
        security.add(si);
    The problem that I'm running into is that getExplicitPrincipals() is frequently returning only one principal and that is null instead of containing the correct object principal information the security that has been assigned.
    What am I doing wrong?  Thanks!

    Hi,
    I just took another look at this,
    IEffectiveRoles eRoles = iep.getRoles();
    for (int i = 1; i <= eRoles.size(); i++){
        IEffectiveRoleeRole = eRoles.get(i);
            if (eRole != null){
                   roles.add(eRole.getTitle());
    eRoles.get(i) - returns the access level with the given id not the access level at position i. So you'll need to use an iterator to loop through the results and extract the roles:
    Iterator<IEffectiveRole> iRoles = eRoles.iterator();
    while (iRoles.hasNext()) {
         IEffectiveRole role = iRoles.next();
    The same applies to the original posting, IExplicitPrincipals.get(i) gets the principal with the specified id, not the principal at position i.
    I should've picked up on this sooner but like you I assumed that .get(i) on the collection would return the object in the collection at position i.
    I haven't tested the above - just going by the javadoc. If correct then we should probably raise a ticket in ideas.sap.com to get the methods renamed to something like getPrincipal(int id) getRole(int id) and leave the standard collection get(int position) method in place to get the object at position x.
    Let me know how it pans out.

  • HT201210 iPod Security Information Message While Trying to get Apps and Music

    While trying to download an app or a song I get a iPod security information required message. After entering all information requested I get an error message; "An error occurred. We couldn't save your changes." How do I get past this? I have tried multiple times...

    Since Apple says:
    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    It sounds like you have a hardware problem ((device may need service). Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • OMPLUS Export security information

    On the export Advanced tab there is an option to export additional security information.
    Its purpose - Select this option to include security information such as object privileges or role assignments made to users.
    Is it possible to do this via OMBPLUS if so what is the command?

    Hello Geri,<BR><BR>Currently, Planning 3.5.1 does not have any utility to export security out of planning. <BR><BR>What you can do is this that generated PDF files through the application itself and then convert it in to text files and so on to load security via importsecurity.exe. <BR><BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Scorpio<BR><BR><BR><BR>

  • Feedback - CiscoWorks Security Information Management Solution

    Can somebody share his experience with
    CiscoWorks Security Information Management Solution (CiscoWorks SIMS)?
    How do you like it? Is it doing what it is supposed to do well?
    Thanks

    I have installed the SIMS 3.1 appliance into a small web hosting network. I have 4 Cisco IDS, 8 routers, and 6 Pix firewalls all reporting to the unit.
    I am in the process of exploring all the different reports available. So far I am happy with automated reporting capability.
    I have found that the vast majority of events are due to system misconfiguration, network cleanup, etc. There is definitely a significant effort to tune your reporting devices in order to avoid false positives and other "noise".
    I am also looking into the Risk Management cabability but the documentation is less than helpful. Apparently the "brute force" method of just diving in and testing all the capabilities of the system is the only way to really learn it.
    Let me know if you have any specific questions and I will do my best to answer.

  • Stop the Security Information popup

    Some users get a Security Information pop-up when navigating Siebel saying "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items?" even after adding the url to their list of trusted sites. Is there a way to stop this?

    Rather than lowering your IE security, just adjust 1 setting:
    From Tools|Internet Options, select Security
    Select Trusted Sites
    Select Custom Level
    Under Miscellaneous, select “Enable” for “Display Mixed Content”
    Repeat for each of Internet or Local Internet
    hope this helps
