Proxy configuration in Portal 6.2

Hello,
the Portal 6.2 Administrator's Guide contains the following
instructions to use a proxy server:
<---------------->8------------->8------------------->
Configuring a Sun ONE Portal Server Instance to Use an HTTP Proxy
If the Sun ONE Portal Server software is installed on a host that cannot directly access certain portions of the Internet or your intranet, you might want to configure the instance to use an HTTP proxy
1. Change directories to the directory server base directory containing the configuration for the instance by entering:
cd /BaseDir/SUNWam/servers/https-hostname-domain/config
2. Edit the jvm12.conf within this directory and add the following lines:
http.proxyHost=proxy_host
http.proxyPort=proxy_port
<---------------->8------------->8------------------->
But, in V6.2 doesn't exist this jvm12.conf anymore.
How can I configure using a proxy in 6.2?
Thanks,
Juergen Maihoefner

Hello,
the only "jvm12.conf" I found is in
"/usr/iplanet/admserv5.1/admin-serv/config/jvm12.conf".
I don't think that's the correct file to change.
Does the absence of the file mentioned in the documentation that
since V6.2 it isn't possible to use the Portal behind a proxy?
If that's the case, and the portal needs a unrestricted connection to
the internet, what's the gateway component for?
I just believe the documentation is outdated - but where can I find a
corrected manual?
Thanks,
Juergen Maihoefner

Help with Apache Reverse Proxy configuration with SAP Portal and SAP Webgui

Dear Experts,
I have an issue configuring Apache to work with SAP Portal and ERP webgui. Accessing Portal through Reverse Proxy is working fine. But the problem arises when we try to open an iView ERP webgui transaction page from Portal with the Reverse Proxy. Have anyone implemented similar requirements and could advice on the configuration required on the Apache side? Thank you

Proxy configuration in AIR Application

Flex/AIR Applications use Default Browser's Connection
setting(Proxy configuration) to connect to Server/Remote Systems.
This mechanism is ok.. in case of Browser based applications.
But, in case of Desktop based AIR application, my application may
need to connect to some Non-Standard ports(not 80,443).. For that I
need to use a different proxy setting than that of my browser.
But, I didn't find any mechanism to set the proxy
configuration in my application.
Can anyone please suggest me the workaround for this??

Reverse Proxy Configuration - Apache as an SSL reverse-proxy

Hi,
We have EP 6.0 SP 14 installed with SSL configured.
We are in need to open the application to internet.
For the same we have set up a reverse proxy server (Apache as SSL
Reverse Proxy).
Our requirement is to open the application to the internet with
web address https://abc.domain.com.
The issue is we are able to access the application from internet only when
https://abc.domain.com/irj/potal is typed.
(ie.) Mapping is working fine for
https://abc.domain.com/irj/portal to
our EP Portal address https://abc2.domain.com:50001/irj/portal
And not working for mapping https://abc.domain.com to our EP Portal
address https://abc2.domain.com:50001/irj/portal
We have been working on to resolve this issue for days together but have been really unsuccessful
Kindly help us in resolving the same asap.

Thanks much for the feedback. We're using the default settings on the HTTP rule we have set up for the portal on the ISA server. We'll be looking into the details of what the default rule settings are, however we did find a note in the Microsoft Knowledge base detailing with the ISA server screening high bits in URL strings for Outlook Web Access (OWA). This generates a similar error message. Here is the link to the detailed note on the Microsoft web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;837865
Also,we are going to be applying the SP1 upgrade to the ISA server (released in March) to see if this might be some type of issue that may have been identified and corrected by the service pack. We'll see what happens with that.
One area where we can recreate the problem at will is when we set up the system landscape configuration. We can navigate to a system configuration object, however when we attempt to right click to edit the object we get the error. There are other circumstances where we get errors but that is one that occurs for sure. Anyone have any idea as to what might be special about that type of transaction??
Thanks again.

Deployable Proxy Called From Portal

I've created and deployed a proxy on my portal application server. Then, from a portal service, I successfully look it up and invoke it. However, I'm getting a class loader error on the com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.tokenizer.XMLTokenWriter class.
I've added a sharing reference to my deployed J2EE component, and I know this is working because I can look up the proxy. What is strange is that this was working okay yesterday. It seems some class loading issue has come up since then.
Can anyone give me a pointer here?

ADFS 3.0 - Web Application Proxy configuration Issue

Hi All,
We are in the process of implementing ADFS 3.0 published to the internet for o365 Federation purposes.
The setup consists of the following
- 2 x windows 2012 R2 running ADFS 3.0 ( only one server presently installed and configured though)
- 2 x Windows 2012 R2 Running Web Application Proxy ( only one server presently installed and configured though ).
There is an F5 Big-IP load-balancer for both internal and external interfaces and it has been configured after a lot of issues with the SNI part on the F5.
So, in short the setup is now a single server hosting ADFS 3.0 using SQL and a single WAP server, however the traffic to these servers are still going through the LB.
Now the issue is that i cannot complete the installation/configuration of the Web Application Proxy server. There is a firewall in between our DMZ and the internal network. I can reach the internal services via the following url and telnet on port 443
to the federation service as well. (ports for 443 and 80) are opened to internal network on the load balancer ip . I can reach https://fs.domain.com/adfs/ls/idpinitiatedsignon.aspx and federationmetadata/2007-06/federationmetadata.xml location as well
from the Web APplication proxy server without any issues or certificate prompts at all.
When i do the configuration for WAP, i use the same account which was used as a service account for the ADFS service internally. If i use a local admin account, it errors out with another message stating the connection was closed.
The certificate on the internal server along with its private key was exported and has been imported on the WAP server . This is not internal CA, instead we are using DIGICERT SSL with SAN Names for enterprise registration and work folders. Hence the CA Chain
issue is ruled out and also this is not a wild card certificate.
When the wizard starts configuring, it does establish the trust with the federation service which is shown up in the event viewer with EventID 391 within 15 seconds i get another event id 422 which states that it cannot retrieve the proxy configuration
and eventid 276 on the Federation server which states the authentication failure. this continues until the servers stops to try configuring the wizard.
I have read all the available threads on the 3.0 WAP installation /configuraiton problem and tried all the steps possible but i am still stuck with this issue.
There is one more part that i noticed on the ADFS server, that the self signed services for the token-encrypting and token decrypting are self-signed certificates. Also, in the certificates it was showing up as not trusted. and i installed them to the TRUSTED
ROOT CERTIFICATION STORE after wich i cannot see any private key showing up when viewing the certificate which means i cannot get the MANAGE PRIVATE keys option when right clicking on the cert to assign read permissions for the ADFS service account.
Should i assign the same SSL sertificate (SAN based for enterpriseregistration & Workfolders) to the token-encrypting and token-decrypting services in ADFS console or should i leave them as self signed ? I did read that self-signed is not recommended for
production environment ? If not the same certificate what are the requirements for the certificate ?
I am not sure what I am missing in the configuration that is causing this issue. The WAP servers are not part of the domain and have also ensured the time synchronization between the domain machine as well.
The service name is fs.domain.com on both the internal and external DNS ( we have domain.com as a zone in DNS internally as well ). I am able to Authenticate inside and from the WAP server when accessing the link.
Could it be a Load Balancer Configuration ? [i will try eliminating this from the configuration]
Let me know if there are any options that i can try to resolve this and get the configuration working.
Cheers,

Does the load balancer pass the certificate session through to the ADFS server or are you offloading SSL. SSL offload does not work with WAP/ADFS integration (at least at the time of writing it does not).
Can you try through the load balancer with SSL pass through turned off please.
Also as ADFS 3.0 (Server 2012 R2) uses Server Name Indication (SNI) then any health checks that run on the load balancer must support this, so if they do not then you need to use TCP 443 checks for a listening port, as doing a standard HTTPS check will fail,
and if the load balancer fails its checks whilst you are configuring ADFS that might be a reason why it has gone offline for you (error 442 is to do with failure to swap client certificates between WAP and ADFS).
Finally, check the June update to Server 2012 R2 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2964735) as that has fixed some certificate issues with multiple servers for WAP and ADFS when you don't have the
2012 R2 AD schema in place.

How to Configure Multiple Portal Middle Tiers with a Load Balancing Router

Hi,
Portal version trying to install 10.1.2 on Windows 2003 boxes.
I am following the guide http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/portal.1012/b14037/cg_advnc.htm#i1046354. I have InfraStructure installed on a different box and am trying to install 2 Portal Midtiers each on separate boxes and using LBR. The above document is kind of confusing as I am trying to following
5.3.1 Step 1: Install a Single Portal and Wireless Middle Tier (M1)
5.3.2 Step 2: Configure OracleAS Portal on M1 to Be Accessed Through the LBR (AND FOLLOW ARE THE STEPS 1 to 14 in sequence)
if I follow 1 to 14 steps in sequence the information is not consistent what is being listed in the following sections
5.4.1 Create Virtual Hosts
5.4.2 Configure OracleAS Web Cache
5.4.3 Register OracleAS Portal with OracleAS Single Sign-On
i.e.
ptlconfig -dad portal -sso -host www.abc.com -port 7779
ptlconfig -dad portal -sso -host www.xyz.com -port 7779
as in the above steps it says to run
ptlconfig -dad portal -wc -site
and ssoreg command that always fails because I am running it from midtier as it gives error saying invalid username/password
as oppoesed to steps listed in point 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
Can someone please privide the steps in sequence I need to follow when installing 2 midtiers with frontend LBR and one infrastructure. I am trying to follow the architecture listed in the above link.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Will appreciate any inputs on the following.
I am planning to install Infrastructure and one Midtier BI Forms Reports Discoverer, Portal on one windows box and the second midtier BI Forms Discoverer, Portal on the second windows box.
Please correct me if I am wrong on installing and configuring the mid-tiers as following are the steps I have compiled going through the document and want to make sure this time I do it right.
As I'll be installing BI Forms Reports Discoverer, Portal so wondering when I install the second midtier do I need to unselect all Portal, Forms, Reports, Discoverer or just the Portal I need to unselect.
Also in the host file of both the windows boxes do I just need to keep the LBR IP Address entry and remove the rest.
LBR:_
Computer Name: bigip5.prd.com
IP Address: *167.123.2.5*
Listen Port: *80*
Invaidation Port: *9401*
Infrastructure:_
Computer Name: portal1.prd.com
IP Address: *167.123.2.6*
Oracle HTTP Server Listening Port: *7777*
Application Server Control port: *1800*
M1 (Portal & BI Forms Reports Discoverer):_
Computer Name: portal1.prd.com
IP Address: *167.123.2.6*
Oracle HTTP Server Listening Port: *7778*
OracleAS Web Cache Listening Port: *80*
OracleAS Web Cache Invalidation Port: *9401*
OracleAS Web Cache Administration Port: *9400*
Web Cache Statistics port: *9402*
Application Server Control port: *1810*
M2 (Portal & BI Forms Reports Discoverer):_
Computer Name: portal2.prd.com
IP Address: *167.123.2.7*
Oracle HTTP Server Listening Port: *7778*
OracleAS Web Cache Listening Port: *80*
OracleAS Web Cache Invalidation Port: *9401*
OracleAS Web Cache Administration Port: *9400*
Web Cache Statistics port: *9402*
Application Server Control port: *1810*
First to create MetadataRepository and then Install Infrastructure and then follow the below steps to install Midtiers
Install and Configure of M1 (Portal and BI Forms Reports Discoverer):-_
*5.3.1 Step 1*: Install a Single Portal and BI Forms Reports Discoverer (M1 i.e. portal1.prd.com)
*5.3.2 Step 2*: Configure OracleAS Portal and BI Forms Reports Discoverer on M1 to Be Accessed Through the LBR
*1.* Configure LBR
*2.* Follow Section 5.4.1.1 to create the Virtual Host for bigip5.prd.com (LBR) and portal1.prd.com (M1)
*3.* Define a site that matches the virtual host entry for bigip5.prd.com (LBR) on Webcache of M1
*4.* Use OracleAS Web Cache Manager on M1, to map the site bigip5.prd.com (LBR) to middle tier portal1.prd.com (M1).
Follow steps 5 and 6 as per the document
*7.* Configure bigip5.prd.com (LBR) to accept invalidation requests from the OracleAS Metadata Repository on a separate port i.e. 9401
*8.* Change iasconfig.xml on M1
*9.* run ptlconfig -encrypt
*10.* Register the URL changes with OracleAS Portal by running ptlconfig -dad portal -wc -site
*11.* No need as it is http only
*12.* Run the follwoing
MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME_M1\sso\bin\ssoreg.bat
-site_name bigip5.prd.com
-mod_osso_url http://bigip5.prd.com:80
-config_mod_osso TRUE
-oracle_home_path MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME_M1
-config_file MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME_M1\Apache\Apache\conf\osso\osso.conf
-admin_info cn=orcladmin
-virtualhost
*13.* Edit targets.xml to enable monitoring of the LBR's front-end host and port settings for OracleAS Portal
+<Property NAME="PortalListeningHostPort" VALUE=http://bigip5.prd.com:80/>+ and then run
MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME_M1\bin\emctl reload
*14.* Test the setup
Install and Configure of M2 (Portal and BI Forms Reports Discoverer):-_
*5.3.4 Step 4*: Install a Single Portal and BI Forms Reports Discoverer (M2 i.e. portal2.prd.com)
*1.* As I am installing on wiondows so will not set IASCONFIG_LOC environment variable as I can just copy the iasconfig.xml file from M1 to M2
*2.* Run OUI on M2
*3.* Clear the selection for OracleAS Portal but don't know if I need to unselect Forms , Reports, Discoverer also.
*4.* Enable OracleAS Portal
*5.3.5 Step 5:* Configure the New Middle Tier (M2) to Run Your Existing Portal
*1.* Create both virtual hosts as done on M1
*2.* Copy dads.conf, oradav.conf, cache.conf, web.xml from M1 to M2
*3.* Re-register mod_osso on M2. To do this, perform the following steps by copying osso.conf from M1 to M2
*4.* Synchronize the DCM by using the following command
MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME_M2/Apache/Apache/bin/ssotransfer MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME_M2/Apache/Apache/conf/osso/osso.conf
*5.* Run dcmctl updateConfig
*6.* add the necessary mod_rewrite and mod_oc4j directives to the httpd.conf and mod_oc4j.conf files respectively
*7.* Restart Oracle HTTP Server on M2
*8.* Access the OracleAS Web Cache Manager on M1 and follow steps 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 for Webcache seetings and clustering.
Also will appreciate if can get some info on the following:
*1.*
When I configure the Webcache as per the Document but if I bring down one Midtier Instance the requests are not going to the other Instance that is up and ignores the case whether an instance is down. Any idea how what and where do I need to provide any setting which in case of instance is down routes the requests to the one that is up.
*2.*
What exactly happens when it says To enable monitoring of the LBR's front-end host and port settings for OracleAS Portal edit target.xml. Is this for LBR to find if an Instance is down or not and route the requests appropriately.
Thanks again for all the help.

Automatic Proxy Configuration URL doesn't work on some computers, but Manual proxy can work

It seems that the Automatic Proxy Configuration URL doesn't work, I use the command netstat -a, can't see the connection to proxy server, but manual proxy is ok, and I tested on some others computers, most of these computers can work normally with Automatic Proxy Configuration URL.
For the computer can't work normally with Automatic Proxy Configuration URL, I did below actions
1.Clear the cache
2.update the version of firefox
3.reinstall the firefox
4.use the safemode to run firefox
but unfortunately, still doesn't work.
Can some dear friends give me a big favor for this? Thanks a million in advance!

I have the same problem, just showed up recently - very fricking annoying!!

My internet connection keeps reverting back to using a manual proxy server configuration pointing at 127.0.0.1 Port 55414. I've tried the help regarding the user.js and prefs.js files but still it continues to revert to the manual proxy configuration!

I know how to change my network settings to fix my internet connection, I just select "Auto-detect network settings for this network" under Tools, Options, Network, Settings. However every time I close down Firefox it reverts to the manual proxy configuration pointing to 127.0.0.1 Port 55414.
I've tried all the suggestions under saving your preferences but this hasn't worked so I'm at a loss as to what to do next. If I can't sort this I'll have to revert back to Internet Explorer as this doesn't have this problem!

Java plug-in 1.4.1 proxy configuration issue causes JTextField TAB problems

I have an applet that has multiple JTextFields in it. I recently updated my Java plug-in to version 1.4.1, and now using TAB to navigate among text fields does not always work when I first bring up a browser and load the applet.
I've found, however, that if I open the Java Console and hit "p" (reload proxy configuration), and then reload my applet (hit Refresh/Reload on my browser), the Tab key works as expected. I did not have this issue with releases prior to 1.4.1.
Any clue on how I can ensure proper proxy configuration upon initial instantiation of the browser? I've seen the problem in both IE 6.0 and Netscape 7.0.
Note that the reloading of the proxy configuration only appears to be necessary once per browser session.

The navigation isn't working. I click in the first text field to give the initial field focus. I then hit TAB and nothing happens. I have a key listener set up for the ENTER key, and this is also supposed to navigate to the next field via:
((JTextField)evt.getSource()).transferFocus();
To see if there was a problem with my build environment or threads in my application, I came up with the following dummy applet:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import javax.swing.BoxLayout;
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
public class TestApplet extends JApplet {
public void init() {
super.init();
public void start() {
JPanel myPanel = new JPanel();
myPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(myPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
JTextField textField1 = new JTextField("Text Field 1");
myPanel.add(textField1);
JTextField textField2 = new JTextField("Text Field 2");
myPanel.add(textField2);
JTextField textField3 = new JTextField("Text Field 3");
myPanel.add(textField3);
getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.CENTER, myPanel);
public void stop() {
super.stop();
I then compiled this applet using the following:
javac TestApplet.java
I then put together the following HTML file:
<HTML>
<HEAD>

The results are the same. I am not able to navigate using the TAB key until I bring up the Java console and then close it again. I would think that if this was a bug in 1.4.1_01, I would have seen it all over the forums. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bypass automatic proxy configuration for some websites?

Here's my problem, perhaps someone can help:
I occassionally need to use my university's proxy server to access library materials, etc., through my off-campus connection. So I entered the .pac file (a url) in the Automatic Proxy Configuration box of System Preferences > Network. All well and good.
The problem is, when I want to get more weather details from the weather widget for example, visiting a site like Accuweather.com throws up the login page for my proxy server. Having to enter my university id and password whenever I want to check the weather is guaranteed to drive me bananas.
So is there any way to keep sites like Accuweather.com from demanding I log into my proxy server when there's no reason to, while still keeping my auto proxy configuration in place for when I really need to use it? Anything I can do in Safari about this?
The other option seems to be to reserve one browser, configured with my university proxy, just for doing library research, etc., and another as a general surfing browser. I'd be happy to make Safari do general duty, and configure Camino to use the proxy server, but I can't seem to make this division work, since both use whatever's listed in Network Prefs. I can't tell one to use the proxy and the other not to, they're both controlled by this global pref.
I think I might be able to specify the proxy locally in Firefox, and leave Safari w/o the proxy...But I much prefer the look and feel of Camino...
Any ideas on how to get around this with Safari, or a combo of Safari and Camino?
Thanks in advance for any tips.

Okay, I found the "Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains" box right under my nose, in Network Prefs. It's explained in this kbase document,
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301534
Getting closer...
However, using the accuweather.com example, I tried entering the domain name and it still calls up the login in Safari. I even tried looking up the site's IP address and entering that in different forms:
wwwa.accuweather.com
207.242.93.24
207.242.93.*
Still no luck, it calls up the proxy server...

Forward parameters in reverse proxy configuration

Hi,
Looking at the detailed configuration in a reverse proxy rule in SJSWS, I have derived the following conclusions:
1) Where the SJSWS listener has SSL-enabled, reverse proxy works on a HTTPS in, HTTP out basis.
2) Details in the incoming request's SSL header, such as User DN, will be stripped out and remapped into the outgoing request as a custom header, e.g. "Proxy-user-dn".
Can anybody tell me if I have gotten anything wrong above?
We are currently switching over from an Apache/mod_proxy/mod_ssl --> Apache/mod_jk --> Apache Tomcat server setup to a hybrid model where SJSWS is the web server reverse proxying to Tomcat (old apps) and SJSAS (new apps).
My question:
All our apps use the User DN string as the user ID. Previously, we developed a custom module in Apache to read the DN at the Apache level and then rewrite it into the Basic Auth user name header in the outgoing request. The Tomcat webapp will then authenticate the user based on the Basic Auth user name property. Is it possible for me to remap it into something similar here in the SJSWS reverse proxy configuration?
Thanks!
Wong

I am not a reverse proxy expert, but this Object-type SAF should forward userdn

You can look for more such SAFs in this document.
