Retrieve parameters from LDAP using authentication module

I have existing LDAP that contains organization people and their attributes. I have several web applications that use existing LDAP for authentication and authorization. My goal is to deploy single sign-on with openSSO so that users are authenticated against existing LDAP. Changing of the existing LDAP is forbidden.
I deployed newest stable OpenSSO and Apache2 + newest policy agents to web service servers.
OpenSSO server uses LDAP authentication module to authenticate users against existing LDAP. It uses flat file data repository and realm attributes -> user profile is ignored.
This basic setup works fine. The next step is to integrate existing web applications to single sign-on system. The authentication part works fine. I just disabled old mechanism from web applications that did the LDAP authentication. OpenSSO and Apache Policy agent are handling that part.
The existing web applications are still querying existing LDAP other attributes there than uid and userpassword. Is it possible to configure OpenSSO to forward LDAP attributes to web application as cookie or header value? Or is the forwarding feature only for attributes in Data Store?
If the forwarding is not possible what is the next best alternative ?

OpenSSO forum is quite silent so I'm back with you guys.
I managed to solve the agent error log problem I mentioned before. The problem was about nonexisting attributes in AMAgent.properties com.sun.am.policy.agents.config.profile.attribute.map. I removed extra attributes and the authentication against LDAP started to work again.
The problem is that no attributes are forwarded from LDAP to web application. I have tried HTTP_COOKIE and HTTP_HEADER settings in AMAgent.properties and com.sun.am.policy.agents.config.profile.attribute.map is set to cn|common-name,mail|email.
My LDAP looks like this:
# testuser, pollo.fi
dn: cn=testuser,dc=pollo,dc=fi
cn: testuser
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
givenName: Test
sn: User
ou: People
uid: testuser
mail: [email protected]
And my datastore configuration:
LDAP server->localhost:389
LDAP bind DN->cn=admin,dc=pollo,dc=fi
LDAP organization DN->dc=pollo,dc=fi
Attribute name mapping->empty
LDAP3 Plugin supported types and operations->agent,group,realm,user all read,create,edit,delete
LDAP3 Plugin search scope->scope_sub
LDAP Users Search Attribute->uid
LDAP Users Search Filter->(objectclass=inetorgperson)
LDAP User Object Class->organizationalPerson
LDAP User Attributes->uid, userpassword
Create User Attribute Mapping->empty
Attribute Name of User Status->inetuserstatus
User Status Active Value->Active
User Status Inactive Value->inactive
LDAP Groups Search Attribute->cn
LDAP Groups Search Filter->(objectclass=groupOfUniqueNames)
LDAP Groups container Naming Attribute->ou
LDAP Groups Container Value->groups
LDAP Groups Object Class->top
LDAP Groups Attributes->cn,description,dn,objectclass
Attribute Name for Group Membership->empty
Attribute Name of Unqiue Member->uniqueMember
Attribute Name of Group Member URL->memberUrl
LDAP People Container Naming Attribute->ou
LDAP People Container Value->people
LDAP Agents Search Attribute->uid
LDAP Agents Container Naming Attribute->ou
LDAP Agents Container Value->agents
LDAP Agents Search Filter->(objectClass=sunIdentityServerDevice)
LDAP Agents Object Class->sunIdentityServerDevice,top
LDAP Agents Attributes->empty
Identity Types That Can Be Authenticated->Agent,User
Authentication Naming Attribute->uid
Persistent Search Base DN->dc=pollo,dc=fi
Persistent Search Filter->(objectclass=*)
Persistent Search Maximum Idle Time Before Restart->0
Should I enable some setting still to get the forwarding going on? Any ideas for debugging?

Need help in retrieving attributes from LDAP using JNDI

I am trying to retrieve attributes from LDAP using JNDI, but I'm getting the following error when I try to run my Java program.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/naming/NamingException
I have all the jar files in my classpath: j2ee.jar, fscontext.jar and providerutil.jar. The interesting thing is that it gets compiled just fine but gives an error at run-time.
Could anyone tell me why I'm getting this error? Thanks!
Here's my code:
import javax.naming.*;
import javax.naming.directory.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
class Getattr {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Identify service provider to use
Hashtable env = new Hashtable(11);
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
// user     info
String userName = "username";
String password = "password";
// LDAP server specific information
String host = "ldaphostname";
String port = "portnumber";
String basedn = "o=organization,c=country";
String userdn = "cn=" + userName + "," + basedn;
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://" + host + ":" + port + "/" + basedn);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, userdn);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
try {
System.setErr(new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(new File("data.txt"))));
// Create the initial directory context
DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
// Ask for all attributes of the object
Attributes attrs = ctx.getAttributes("cn=" + userName);
NamingEnumeration ne = attrs.getAll();
while(ne.hasMore()){
Attribute attr = (Attribute) ne.next();
if(attr.size() > 1){
for(Enumeration e = attr.getAll(); e.hasMoreElements() ;) {
System.err.println(attr.getID() + ": " + e.nextElement());
} else {
     System.err.println(attr.getID() + ": " + attr.get());
// Close the context when we're done
ctx.close();
} catch(javax.naming.NamingException ne) {
     System.err.println("Naming Exception: " + ne);
} catch(IOException ioe) {
     System.err.println("IO Exception: " + ioe);

That doesn't work either. It seems its not finding the NamingException class in any of the jar files. I don't know why? Any clues?

Unable to retrieve parameters from RFC Function Module

Hi All,
I have created a model for the RFC Enabled function module BAPI_BUPA_CENTRAL_GETDETAIL within my webdynpro program. I am passing parameters to the function module BAPI_BUPA_CENTRAL_GETDETAIL and I have validated that this is being passed correctly by displaying the passed value from the node of the input parameters.
Code used to pass input parameters -
IWDMessageManager manager = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
   try
      wdContext.currentBapi_Bupa_Central_Getdetail_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
      size = wdContext.nodeCentraldataperson().size();
      wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(Integer.toString(size));
      wdContext.nodeOutput().invalidate();
   catch(WDDynamicRFCExecuteException e)
      manager.reportException(e.getMessage(), false);
I also see that it returns 1 record by using the code below:
IWDMessageManager manager = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
   try
      wdContext.currentBapi_Bupa_Central_Getdetail_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
      size = wdContext.nodeCentraldataperson().size();
      wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(Integer.toString(size));
      wdContext.nodeOutput().invalidate();
   catch(WDDynamicRFCExecuteException e)
      manager.reportException(e.getMessage(), false);
But, when I try to retrieve the value returned it does not fetch that value -
   Bapi_Bupa_Central_Getdetail_Output getdata = wdContext.nodeBapi_Bupa_Central_Getdetail_Input().nodeOutput().currentOutputElement().modelObject();
   Bapibus1006_Central_Person[] getres = new Bapibus1006_Central_Person[size];
   for(int i=0; i<size; i++){
        wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(Integer.toString(i));
        getres<i> = getdata.getCentraldataperson();
        //String fullname = wdContext.nodeBapi_Bupa_Central_Getdetail_Input().nodeOutput().nodeCentraldataperson().getElementAt(i).getAttributeValue("Fullname").toString();
        String fullname = getres<i>.getFullname();
       fullname += Integer.toString(i);
        wdContext.currentContextElement().setFullname(fullname);
        wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("fullname:" + fullname);
It always returns 0 or null. Can someone please help me with this issue. The BAPI returns values in structure format and not internal table and hence I dont see the issue there as well.
What can be the problem?
Thanks for all your help in advance.
Best regards,
Divya

Nikhil / Srihari,
I changed my code and it now looks like - I am trying get the return value into the context fullname but i still cant get the value although the size of nodeCentraldataperson() is thrown as 1 and the input is being passed correctly as i have validated this in this line of code [wdContext.nodeBapi_Bupa_Central_Getdetail_Input().currentBapi_Bupa_Central_Getdetail_InputElement().getBusinesspartner();]
IWDMessageManager manager = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
   try
      wdContext.currentBapi_Bupa_Central_Getdetail_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
      size = wdContext.nodeCentraldataperson().size();
      wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(Integer.toString(size));
      wdContext.nodeCentraldataperson().invalidate();
   catch(WDDynamicRFCExecuteException e)
      manager.reportException(e.getMessage(), false);
     for(int i=0; i <size; i++){
          String name = "FullName: ";
          wdContext.nodeBapi_Bupa_Central_Getdetail_Input().nodeOutput().nodeCentraldataperson().setLeadSelection(i);
          name += wdContext.nodeBapi_Bupa_Central_Getdetail_Input().currentBapi_Bupa_Central_Getdetail_InputElement().getBusinesspartner();
          name += wdContext.nodeBapi_Bupa_Central_Getdetail_Input().nodeOutput().nodeCentraldataperson().currentCentraldatapersonElement().getFullname();
          wdContext.currentContextElement().setFullname(name);
Any idea what could be wrong?
Thanks,
Divya

Retrieving user and group information from LDAP using j_securrity_check

Hi
I am using j_security_check to authenticate users against LDAP. I have made all necessary configuration for the server to perform LDAP group search as well as mentioned in the WAS documentation of LDAP settings. Now, how can I retrieve the user and the user group info after the j_secuirty_check. Apart from the UserPrincipal object which I can get from the request which just has the user name, is there any other object which will give me the user and user group info by which I need to connect to LDAP using my java code to retrieve these informations?

group info by which I need to connect to LDAP using

You could use the LDAP credentials and bind as that to look up the user info via the user id. Or if the server is set up to allow anonymous bind you could do it without credentials. But if all you want is group info then you should be able to call Security.getCurrentSubject().getPrincipals() to get the user principal as well as all groups (this is true in BEA WebLogic at least).
Good Luck

How i get user info from ldap using java after authenticating user with SSO

Hi
I have one jsp/bean application as a partner application with SSO.
It works fine.
Now i need to get other attributes of user from LDAP who has logged into the application through SSO.
using SSO java APIs i only get username, userDN, subscriber info.
To get user's other attribute i have to user LDAP APIs for that i have to create on Directory Context, for the same i need userpassword.
so here i my question, how do i get user password after he has logged in thro SSO.
regards..
and thanking u in advance
samir

Valentina,
there's no way to get the password value from the directory (it's one way). Of course you can get the hashed (MD4,MD5,SHA-1) base64 encoded value (i.e. the value you see in OiD) but not the 'password'.

SAP Module sapnwrfc: Retrieving data from SAP using RFC

I'm sorry, if I'm asking about something that's obvious in SAP. I need to develop a perl application in a remote server that will receive a requisition from an abap application.

Timo,
I included the code in the VO and in my bean, I was able to generate this code snippet:
public String GetParamterSetup() {
        BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
        OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("applyParamVOCriteria");
        operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("vcodetype", codeType);
        Object result = operationBinding.execute();
        System.out.println(result);
        if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
            return null;
        return null;
I was able to get the result from the System.out.println. It returns null when there is no match. However, I want to return the entire row or have access to that attribute. For instance if I have 'GB011' what the system will display for me is 'viewrow [oracle.jbo.Key[GB011 ]]'
Pls, how can I have access to individual attributes like ParamSetup.codeType, ParamSetuo.MainCode etc...

Getting parameters from URL: use of Special Chars

I'm unable to retrieve the Special Chars from URL parameters. Does someone have an idea where to look for?
Examples where no Special Chars is retrieved :
...App?param=Aménagement
...App?param=Am<é>nagement
...App?param=Am%E9nagement
I'm using this code :
          IWDProtocolAdapter protocolAdapter =
               WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter();
          IWDRequest request = protocolAdapter.getRequestObject();
                                String param = request.getParameter("param");
Thanks!

okay, So if I use :
...App?param=Am%E9+nagement
How would you then integrate URLDecoder.decode in the following code?
IWDProtocolAdapter protocolAdapter =
     WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter();
IWDRequest request = protocolAdapter.getRequestObject();
String param = request.getParameter("param");

Unable to Retrieve Attributes from LDAP Server

I have a problem. I was wondering if anyone can assist me. I am new to LDAP servers and JNDI. I cannot retrieve any attributes from the users listed in my data entry. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
I created an entry in the LDAP server that looks like this:
�o=somedn�
|
�ou=people, o=somedn�
The �ou=people, o=somedn� entry contains fictitious users. The LDAP server is connected to a MySQL database. When I write Java code to read the attributes of a given user whose fullname (cn) is �Vinny Luigi�, as listed in the database, I receive an error that starts with the following:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: [LDAP: error code 32 - No Such Object]; remaining name 'cn=Vinny Luigi,ou=people'
The code I used is based on the Sun JNDI tutorial. Sun�s code is at http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/basics/directory/src/GetattrsAll.java. My version of the code is below:

Error while Retrieving users from DB using Field Loop

Hi,
Im working on IDM 6.0 in Sun Appserver 8.1, with waveset on SQL Server2000.
I have a rule that list all the users from a table in SQL Server2000.
Ive used this rule in a form to get list of all users. This rule works fine in BPE and the drivers are properly placed
When I view the Form I get the following error.
XPRESS exception ==> com.waveset.util.WavesetException: Can't call method queryList on class com.waveset.util.JdbcUtil ==> com.waveset.util.WavesetException: ==> java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC][SQLServer]Could not find server 'com' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers.

I was able to solve the error but how can I display the all fields retrieved by the query. (like select name,comments from tablename)
This is my code. I just need to display comments
<FieldLoop for='cdata1'>
<expression>
    <rule name='MSSQL DB Connect'/>

How to get structure from Idoc using function module?

Hi all,
I am looking for a function module in order to get the structure of a message type used for iDoc. The aim is to get the data element from the different fields in order to check authority if the data element is BUKRS.
Thanks for your help!
David

Hi David,
You can use the FM "IDOC_TYPE_COMPLETE_READ" which will get you the complete details of the IDOC type along with data elements referred for each fields in the segments.
The aim is to get the data element from the different fields in order to check authority if the data element is BUKRS.
Not sure if i understood the above requirement, if you could provide more info on the requirement, i guess you might get better a better solution from the forum. As there are other data elements with different names for company code (just look up *BUKRS* in SE11 under Data Elements to see what i mean), not sure if you can cover it all.

Chen

Fetching from LDAP using JDNI with WebObjetcs,/ EOF, failing.

Hello.
I have been working on a WebObjects app that connects to a LDAP server, I create the EOModel (reverse engineered) from EOModeler in eclipse, but I cant set up relationships because in the LDAP server there are no such attributes that references the parents and sons. . i.e I have
-XWS (root)
     -Contacts (objClass=XWSContactsGroup)
          -Apple.(objClass=XWSContactsGroup)
               -Gustavo Pizano
          -XWS(objClass=XWSContactsGroup)
               -Veronica Pizano
               -Carolina Pizano
          -PhotoCenter(objClass=XWSContactsGroup)
               -Gilbert Pizano
And I want to get all the Contacts from a certain group (right now due the inability to do it via relationships, Im doing qualifiers) .. but Im getting weird results...
I can get an NSArray from the XWS group which has 2 elements. but those 2 elements are the same. :S
Any help I will appreciate it.
Thanks
Gustavo

You don't need the extra exit. Not using an explicit exit command ran into an old SQL*Plus bug with v7 and prior - where eof was ignored and input read until an explicit exit was encountered.
Despite this bug not being there in the SQL*Plus 7.1 version I was using, I was made very aware by my senior Oracle colleagues that it was non-negotiable and that an exit statement was expected in all the SQL*Plus scripts I wrote.
A practise I still follow and encourage today. Relying on implicit behaviour is not a characteristic of robust code. Explicitly defining behaviour is. Rather code an exit statement than ignoring it and trusting the s/w to understand your intent and behave accordingly.

How to retrieve email from iCloud using GMail?

I currently have a Dot Mac email account that I have retrieved from MobileMe by my GMail account. If I move my Dot Mac address to iCloud, what settings will need to be changed in my GMail account?

Does iCloud still use the mail.me.com server or is it now mail.icloud.com?
I've gone to www.icloud.com using Safari on my iPad and my iPhone, but then I hit a wall because I'm not ready to transfer my mac.com & me.com email addresses over to iCloud yet. I paid $99 for MobileMe and I can't see throwing that away this early.
Hopefully there will be a "Take Control of iCloud" released in the next few months. Also, since Apple is now investigating ways to allow merging of Apple IDs, I'd like to wait until they announce what they determine will be required.
As for using a desktop computer to access iCloud webmail, I'll have to find the cheapest used Mac that can run Lion and then just use it for those rare times I absolutely have to access it that way. Most of the time that Mac will be completely off and disconnected. I absolutely abhor Lion; it is the worst version since Cheetah.
