Question Re: Logging into Portal

Hello everyone,
I'm in the process of setting up a dev portal site that will be used initially to ONLY host an internal website.
Is there a way to configure a portal so that there is no User Authentication required; for example, so that when a user to goes to the http://servername:50000/irj website, it will automatically take them to the home page that is configured for every user?
At this point there is no need for user personalization or any of the functionality available within the portal; that will eventually come later.
I simply want to present the user with the internal website WITHIN the portal, without requiring them to logon to the portal to view it.
Please note that I understand it would be easier simply host place the site outside of the portal, however part of the requirement is that the user gain SOME exposure to the SAP portal itself.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance!

Need to log into portal usign a different User-Agent(SPS15 issue)

Hi,
we are having an error trying to log portal. We have an application that logs into portal to get the MYSAPSO2 Cookie.
This applications have in the header the User-Agent "ExtApp".
Apparently due to changes in SPS15 the page builder becomes more restrictive on the range of browsers that can access portal.
We´d like to add our own User-Agent.
Any thoughts on how can this be done.
Regards
Fernando

For anyone interested, the problem was resolved by restarting the OC4J_Security component from the infrastructure tier.
This poses another question, for newly created users to take effect, does this restart always need to occur?

Hi
The portal display creates problem when you try to access the portal using the IPADDRESS instead of the host name for the portal.
What you can do is make a entry in the hosts file for the portal server and then try to access the portal using the name given in the hosts file.
http://servername:<port>/irj
servername is the entry which you have given in the hosts file.
Dont use the IPAddress while accessing the portal, if by chance you are using it.
This shoud solve your problem.

Incorrect welcome screen after logging into portal

Hi,
I have an issue in Portal. Once when logged into portal, it is shows incorrect welcome page(welcome page of another user).Also getting "401 Unauthorized" error message.
Could anyone please help me to find what could be the reason for this issue.
Thanks
Manchari. N

Hi Manchari,
Please check roles are assigned to user. then clear the browser cookies and temp file, then access the portal with the user and check it.
If you still the receive the same error, then check the default trace log file in http://<host>:<port>/nwa >> Log >> search with the userid.

How to capture name of user that logs into Portal?

Im trying to create a report that returns information from a
Profile table. The UserId is the key to the Profile table.
Since this report returns information dependent upon who runs
it, I would make use of the USER functionality in SQL to isolate
the row in the Profile table. However, this technique wont
work through Portal because the user logs into Portal not the
database.
What technique (keyword, API, etc.) should I use to capture the
username of the person who logged into Portal?
Thanx,
JE

Try this:
PORTAL30.wwctx_api.get_user

User created but can't log into Portal. OID not in-sync with Repository.

Logged into Portal as portal
Go to Administ Tab
Created a group i.e. TestGroup
Created a user i.e. TestUser, put the user's default group as TestGroup.
I logged-out and and tried to log in as TestUser it doesn't let me log into Portal.
I do see the TestUser under TestGroup when going to Administer Tab and checking it, but some how can't log-in. I tried to use wwsec_api.user_in_groups to print the group names using SQL-Navigator but it never returns anything for the user I created above.
username := 'TestUser';
groupid := WWSEC_API.USER_IN_GROUPS(p_user_name=>username);
..........Now if if try the following and use portal it returns me all the groups the portal user is in i.e.
username := 'portal';
groupid := WWSEC_API.USER_IN_GROUPS(p_user_name=>username);
..........Looks like OID and repository are not in-sync. Can someone give some in-sight why is this happening and what can I do to fix this. I even tried adding the user under some other groups but still never returns me the groups when I run the above PL/SQL.
Thanks

Under Administer -> SSO/OID Tab I have Enable directory synchronization is checked. But still can't log in. Any ideas.
Thanks

Retrieve Novell Username when not logged into Portal

Hi,
Is there a way I can store the users Novell username into a variable? This would be done in a report, displayed on the Portal homepage. I require this functionality before the user logs into the portal, so I can't use PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_user.
Thanks

Hi,
IE is sharing the cookies between sessions.
If you open IE and open another window by clicking <CTRL>+N or menu File >> New Window you have the cookies shared.
If you open another IE by clicking on the IE icon you will have two seperate IEs which do not share cookies.
Either you teach your users to use the "logoff" link in the portal header or code a new portal application that automatically destroys the portal cookie when the users leave the portal page...

Blank page after logged into portal system

Hi,
After logged into our portal system, we are getting blank page with white space. This is not quite common for all users, few users able to view screens at portal systems.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Srinias

Srinivas,
Looks like the users not seeing anything have roles which does not have any content in them. Take any of these users and look for assigned roles in 'User Administration'. If there is no content assigned to these roles then assign some relevant content, else make these users part of the group that other users seeing content are part of.
Hope this helps.
Vishwas.

Wwc-41439 trying to log into Portal

Hello,
I'm getting error message wwc-41439 when trying to log into my Portal environment in Application Server 10g. My infrastructure and middle tier are on the same Linux RedHat 3.0 box. I am able to log into oiddas with no problem, it when I try to login into Portal that I get the error message. The following URL is the page with the login button:
http://servername:7779/portal/page?_pageid=6,1,6_13&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL
the button link is below
http://servername:7779/pls/portal/PORTAL.wwsec_app_priv.login?p_requested_url=PORTAL.home&p_cancel_url=PORTAL.home
and the error message page is below
http://servername:7779/pls/portal/PORTAL.wwsec_app_priv.login?p_requested_url=PORTAL.home&p_cancel_url=PORTAL.home
Any help appreciated!

Hi,
It sounds like the SPNego login Module is failing. You will get a better idea of the issue if you reproduce the logon scenarion while running a webdiagtool trace. You can follow note 1045019 for this.

Error when logging into portal

Today, when I tried to log on portal, I got this error message:
You don't have permission to
access /pls/portal/portal.wwsec_app_priv.process_signon on this
server.
It was runnig all right untill today (thats why I hate mondays).
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Not any changes we are aware of. The thing is it is working for some people (they can login and go to the homepage of the portal ) and not working for some( they get login screen but they are not forwarded to the home page, instead displayed with a blank screen).

Hi,
Have you added this EvaluateAssertionTicketLoginModule? If you set the login module stack to the one below you should be able to authenticate normally:
EvaluateTicketLoginModule SUFFICIENT
BasicPasswordLoginModule REQUISITE
CreateTicketLoginModule OPTIONAL
You can change it in the Visual Administrator -> server -> services -> security provider. In the Components list select ticket and change it there. Save and it should work.

This only happens immediately after logon; once the user clicks on another tab in ESS, the error is never re-produced again until the user logs off and logs back on.

EP 7, ESS 603 SP4 P3.
This apparently is only happening for one specific user. I'm in the process of gathering information about their internet browser to determine if that's the cause.
I did check the JCos and they all tested successfully.

Blank page coming after logging into portal using Admin Account

Can any one tell me what is the problem?
Thanks in Advance.
Regs/Venkat

Hi,
Could you guide me on how to check the authorizations for the admin user. if it is not set, how to re-set the same to admin user.
I cant use http://localhost:port/useradmin/index.jsp page as it throws me a page not found error.
I have to only use Visual Admin to check this.
Thanks in Advance.
