Reporting on Access Rights to Pages/Page Groups

As all of you probably know it is difficult to get a snap-shot of exactly
what permissions a user has for pages and other items in portal since
you have to go to several different places using the interface to "compile"
them for a user.
So, we would like to use the security api (wwsec_api), or other appropriate
api's as needed, to generate a report containing the permissions a user has on various portal pages/items/etc.
But I'm having a few problems with the security api producing specific permission
info.
I just wondered if anybody has some code that can produce the specific permissions a user has on portal pages or, in general, how the security api
is used.
TIA, semaphore.

would be interested too.

Specifying access rights for page tabs

Hello
I have trouble with specifying access rights for tabs that are inside another tab.
I have a group named "Customers" and a group for each of our customer companies. The company-groups are all members of the Customers group.
Then i created a tab called "Customers" which i specified access rights to the Customers group.
Under the customers tab, i created one tab for each customer and i've specified access rights to each tab.
I want to accomplish that customers who log into the portal only are able to see theyr own tab, but this doesn't seem to work properly.
Have anyone had this problem before?
Regards
Per-Jarle Sfther

Per-Jarle,
Are you sure that the users are not part of a group that is included in the group you gave access to on the tab?

JPDK - Page/Page Group Properties????

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the JPDK, so forgive me if this is a dumb question: I've looked through all the documentation (I think) and samples, and cannot seem to find any API's that deal with retrieving or setting page properties (page description, display name, etc.) or page group properties. Do they exist? I know I can call the PL/SQL API's from Java...or go to the tables directly....but aren't very elegant solutions. This seems like such a basic need for portlet development....am I missing something??
Confused in California,
Wayne

Hi Wayne,
You can change a page's page group's properties from portal itself.
When you edit a page (by clicking on the page's "Edit" link), you will see a Page "Properties" link. Here you can change the page name, style, access rights for this page etc. You can also change the Page Group's Properties from here itself.
As for an API, there is definitely an API which Portal uses to accomplish this, but this API is not exposed for public usage.
For more information on Portal's PL/SQL Public API's, click on this link:

Thanks,
Ashish.

Need help accessing the router web page. I have been tol...

Need help accessing the router web page. I have been told my router is acting like a switch and the IP address is not in the proper range. I have tried reseting the router (hold for 30 sec and unplug for 5 mins). Didn't work.
thanks

What router are you using? Almost all Linksys routers use 192.168.1.1 as the default local IP address, but there is at least one that uses 192.168.16.1 , namely the WTR54GS (not the WRT54GS).
You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank (note: a few Linksys routers have a default user name of "admin" (with no quotes)), and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

10.1.3.4 - how to secure access on a jsp page ?

I have a simple jsp page that takes in some user values and then kicks off a workflow. I want to restrict the access on the jsp page so that only users of a certain group can use it. right now it is completely open and anyone can just go the page and start of a transaction.

Should be a page or group on Facebook for Wiki Ninjas

Hi,
I posted this
on this blog several days ago, and mentioned it
at the forum as well. But the right place should be in this forum probably :-) SO here it is:
Should be a page or group on Facebook, like the twitter in the "Engage" section. I for example do not work with twitter
(i have an account but almost never login), while I am on Facebook all the time (It is open in the background). Much information on new articles, I get from Naomi or a someone else or a group which I follow on Facebook. This is why when Naomi post a interview
I usually see it fast while Ed's posts I might see after 2 weeks or even miss it
Engage!

I would love to open a group but, first of all Ed have to agree, since only he can make it an official group for the WIKI (and add the link in the WIKI), and
second all the WIKI's managers and of course Ed have to be part of the managers in that group.
* I actually never opened a group at Facebook yet, and it might be time that I will test this option :-)
* Maybe it is better that one of the WIKI's managers will open the group?!?
* In any case I think it need to be done
Please respond and write what is you opinion and I will wait for Ed's response, as well :-)

Repeat group header on every page before group footer as group spans across

I have a group which spans across multiple pages.In group there are two subreports in Group footer.I have set all the required parameters to repeat group header on every page in group expert,but not getting desired results,please help....

I have following structure in my report.
I have two group headers at the top,first one contains name of the site & site number,second header contains Site-Admin as heading,below which i have kept details section of report which displays name of administrator which repeats details section in case there are more than one adminstrators.
Below this i have two group footers which individually contain each of the two sub-reports.
As per data,these individual subreport may or may not begin at the beginning of the new page every
time,therefore fake group header put at the beginning of these sub-reports may come in middle of the page sometime,so thet cant be done.
Thank you,please reply if you have another solution....

Could not able to show a scalar value in Page Header/Group Header of the re

Hi,
I could not able to show a scalar value in Page Header/Group Header of the report which is returned from Sub-report. But I am able to display it in both Group Footer and Page Footer.
I used shared variable in formula filed of both main and sub report and both are placed in the main and sub-report.
Please do needful.
Thanks & Regards,
Mani G.S.

You can only show Shared variables in main report in a location after the subreport has executed.
If you want to show values in page header or group header you must place subreport in a section above these. This is unlikely to be possible so you will have to live with displaying results in Group/page footer.
Alternatively you can execute subreport twice, once where subreport is hidden in a section above page/group header and pass summary figure you require and then again where you currently have subreport so you can see details as required.

Unable to access E-Recruiting Start Pages Externally

Hello,
Im hoping for some assistance with an E-Recruiting issue (standalone system; Version 3.0). We are currently only able to access the start pages while inside of our network, and receive a page cannot be displayed message while outside of our network. This is with the exception of the candidate registration page. We can successfully register, and then pass on to the main E-Recruiting start page for an external candidate.
The hrrcf_start_int bsp/service is used to call the start page for registered internal candidates, recruiters, and administrators (different view for each). The hrrcf_start_ext bsp/service is used to call the start page for registered external candidates. And, the hrrcf_cand_reg bsp/service is used to access the external candidate registration page.
The URLs for the start pages were created using program RCF_GENERATE_URLS.   We are requiring all traffic be routed through our WebDispatcher, and all traffic be HTTPS, so the URLs start out with https://recruiting.... Our E-Recruiting system is actually careers, but again, we want all traffic to go through our WebDispatcher, which is recruiting.
We have created external aliases in transaction SICF for all three URLs, and using the alias, I can successfully login to all pages within our network.   When I test the external aliases within SICF, I get an internal error (The user is not assigned a candidate or an employee) for the hrrcf_start_int and hrrcf_start_ext services. When I test the external alias for hrrcf_cand_reg, it is successful.
When I test the hrrcf_start_int service within SICF, I get the logon page, but after logging on, I get message Name of logical port&&lp_named is invalid. When I test the hrrcf_cand_reg service, it is successful.
When I test the hrrcf_start_int and hrrcf_start_ext BSPs in SE80, I receive an Internet Explorer cannot display page message.   The same is true for the hrrcf_cand_reg. However, it is trying to access http://recruiting instead of https://recruiting. I can see that URL address in the application.do Controller, but have no idea where to change it, because it is greyed out (any help with this would be appreciated as well.)
We have created internal users using program RCF_CREATE_USER, and when I look at transaction BP, I see that it is creating a business partner for each user.
We have had SAP tell us that it is not a WebDispatcher issue, and we have also confirmed that it is not a firewall issue.
It seems interesting to me that we can only get to the one page that does not first require authentication. If anyone has any information that would be helpful, I would appreciate your time.
Sorry for such a long message, but I was just trying to be as clear as possible.
Thank you,
Leeanna Travis

Hello Leeanna,
quite a lot of topics and doing remote analysis for netwok issues is difficult.
Some ideas:
- starting hrrcf_start_ext / hrrcf_start_int via SICF or SE80 will never be successful as these applications need parameters. The message you got when testing startpage from SICF is classical for invalid startpage Id
- if you do not reach pages from outside, check network traffic / access rights in firewalls. Usually the sap server name cannot be resolved through a dns for an outside call as you companies dns is not visible for internet users. You will need a relay.
- check that full qualified server name is set on the server
- check eeb infrastructure that it allows the access protocoll. If ICF service says http but firewall only allows https you won't get a responde. Sometime switching protocolls within the request produces problems.
- WebDispacher is known for eating parameters / url parts. Try to get your hands on the traces of the requests which really reach the server.
- if possible supply some more information on release & support package level. E.g. there is a support package which has an error that if you activate 'do not show https warning' in an icf service it does not only hide the warning but the whole logon screen :o(
Hope that helps, if not just reply - perhaps w/ focus on one special point.
Best Regards
Roman Weise

Run a report of user access rights ?

Hello, I would like to run a report from Active Directory (windows server 2012) that summarises the access rights that my various users have.
Is there a way of doing this ?
Thank you for any information.

Greetings!

How to query members of 'Local Administrators' group in all computers?

Confused about wiki pages and groups (i'm new to wiki services).

we set up wiki services on our newly upgraded 10.5 server, but there is something that i can't seem to understand.
it seems that the only way to create a new wiki is to create a new group. i don't quite get how you can have some members of one group and some members of another, access the same wiki page.
this will get very messy for our company because we want to set up wikis for the multiple projects we have going. this means that the amount of groups will escalate rapidly and surely will cause problems and confusion.
we currently have 7 groups created on the WGM and my company is about 50 employees.
each group currently has their own wiki which leads me to my original problem/question.
if we create a new wiki, that creates a new group, and we don't want that.
i could totally be missing something here as i mentioned i am new to the wiki services and 10.5 server in general.
if you need more information from me, let me know.
thanks in advance.

anyone?? bueller...? bueller...?
i can't seem to find any information about this. i even looked here http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/ in the wiki documentation and didn't find anything.
perhaps i wasn't entirely clear in my initial post.
say i want people in the accounting and marketing group to share a wiki page. the only way i know how to do this, is to create a new group (let's call it wiki_group) and to have members of both accounting and marketing be members of wiki_group.
as i mentioned in my initial post, this is going to be a huge problem.
the only work-around that i can think of is to have the accounting group and marketing group be members of both. this is not acceptable due to security and resource sharing.
how can i create wikis without having to create a new group, and to have members of other groups view and edit other wikis?

Anonymous access for just one page

Does anybody knows how can i enable anonymous access for just one page, other pages must be available for only logged in users.

Actually it is "LightHouse Pro" project. And I don't understand some things in it. It Has a UserControl with a query that just check credentials and returns bool value if credentials are right. But i can't find the way it defines whether i need to secure page or not.

Right clic on pages, the application is lagging how can I fix it ?

I,
Everytime I do a right clic on pages (and some others application) the application is lagging
How can I resolve the problem
thank you

Given the wealth of details you provided you want us to have a wild guess?
What version of Pages?
What version of OSX?
Where are you clicking in Pages or in Finder?
What are you right cllicking for?
What Mac are you using?
How much free space do you have on your hard drive?
Are you starting up off or trying to access an external device?

Can't access Apple's support page in FFox; getting a looped pop-up dialogue box.

Hi,
When I try to access Apple's support page, there's a 'Welcome back - do you have the same problem as last time?' dialogue box that I can't get past. No matter what I press (Yes or No), the page refreshes and the box comes back.
I have deleted my cache, and gone through every step I can with Apple support over the phone, but the issue still occurs.
What's the problem?

This may help;
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History#w_how-do-i-remove-a-single-website-from-my-history Remove History For One Site]'''
Open the History Manager '''<Control><Shift> H.'''

Right click on one of the listings and select '''Forget About This Site.'''
This should remove all information, including any passwords / settings.

cor-el
Thank you for your swift reply. I don't know that this has helped me, as I've reached my level of tolerance for fooling with this annoying little problem - for today anyway. It has been going on since I "up" graded to Firefox 4. My wife is running 3.6.x on her laptop with none of this foolishness. As BLASPHEMOUS as it may sound, I've gone back to IE for the time being even though I don't like it 1000th as much as I do Firefox.
Not just to rant here, I would say that I found a way to put some buttons on the right side of the toolbar that immediately gave me permission to "back, forward, and reload", but upon closing the browser and going out for dinner with the wife, I find on return that not only are those buttons NOT still on the toolbar, but I can't find them anymore. I think they were in "add-ons" found under I believe Add-On Manager.
I did also manage to achieve back/forward functionality running Firefox in SAFE mode, but this meant no No-Script, among other things, and I've grown too fond of that particular little script to give it up.
I've rebooted, restored, and reinstalled, can't get this formerly completely reliable program to work like it always has. Before looking around on here, I was beginning to think it was my PC.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, cor-el. I'm going to see if I can get on live chat on Monday.
