Rich Client and Security

Hello,
i'm a litte bit confused about security in JEE5. I've searched now for a long time in the web and found nothing which helped me a lot. First I explain what I want to do:
I'm writing a client/server application. The server part is done with session beans and the client is an rich swing gui. I need several things.
- I want to manage the users,groups,roles within my swing gui instead
of creating them through the application servers admin console.
- Within the swing gui I need to know to which role the user is
mapped,so that i'm able i.e. to disable buttons, panels ... which offer
functions that are not allowed to the user
In the past i've done authentication and authorization on my own in a very unflexible way. JEE security sounds nice, but I don't know how to achieve the above mentioned features.
I would be very pleased if somebody could help me.
Greetings
Arne Gessner

Right on, I only see a few design requirements and I don't see a concrete question in the topicstart. I only see the following:
I would be very pleased if somebody could help me.This is not a specific question. Where are you stucking exactly according to the coding?
I had pointed you to the Java EE tutorial which contains lot of material to play with.

  • Different values between Rich Client and Web Intelligence

    Hi all,
    our landscape is BO Edge 4.1 SP2 Patch 5
    we just create a report in Web Intelligence with a query bics from BW
    We discovered that sometimes the report retrives fake values from BW: the same report refreshed in Rich Client shows correct values.
    BW data are frozen (updated only once a day)
    We tried to:
    - save report with Rich Client and published it in the public folder (but Web Intelligence still shows wrong data)
    - upgrade Java Virtuale Machine to the latest release
    - looking for system and BO log without any clue
    - looking for SAP note (some info only related to BI 3.1)
    Workaround: issue disappear only restarting BO SIA
    Can you help us?
    Any idea?
    Regards.

    Have you seen Web Intelligence and Oracle Java Runtime Environment Known Issues
    There is a wiki inside the blog
    I wonder too if you might get a faster, better response in the Web Intelligence space

  • Inconsistent date formats between Rich Client and HTML client

    Hey All,
    Just wondering if anyone has come across an issue with inconsistent date formats from a universe based on an MS SSAS 2012 database connection in 4.x?
    The value of the date is returned as a string from the query but the object data type has been changed to a Date object meaning BusinessObjects should convert the string into a date if the format is correct.
    The problem in this is that the date being returned in Rich Client is in dd/MM/yyyy format whereas on the Web Client is in MM/dd/yyyy.
    From the Web Client business objects will return a date, however, it is a mix of MDY and DMY format.
    i.e. 15th of March will be displayed as 15/03/2014
    whereas 12th of March will be displayed as 03/12/2014
    All our application servers are configured for English (Australian) regional settings meaning all dates should be in DMY format.
    The date in the database is stored as a non-ambiguous yyyy-mm-dd format so it appears the variation is occurring somewhere between the database and BusinessObjects for the Web Client based reports only.
    I have also checked the sqlsrv.prm file based format and changed this to DMY but this has also not made a difference.
    The same universe in 3.1 and MS SSAS 2008 works correctly but not this one.

    Hi
    The date in the database is stored as yyyy-mm-dd format.
    As per user request.... Set the date format @ the Business layer level. so it will refelct same as in the WebI.
    Please find the below link. how to use custom Display option.

  • Whats the difference between Rich Client and Desktop Client? (BO XI 3.2)

    Hello,
    maybe someone has a matrix oder something like that?
    Thanks for helping...

    There are a number of reasons for using Web Intelligence Rich Client to
    work with WID documents:
    u2022 You want to work with Web Intelligence documents but you are unable
    to connect to a CMS (while traveling, for example).
    u2022 You want to improve calculation performance: Web Intelligence Rich
    Client performs calculations locally, rather than on the server, and local
    calculations can perform better than server calculations.
    u2022 You want to work with Web Intelligence documents without installing a
    CMS or application server.
    Deski
    1. VB Macro
    2. Slice and Dice functionality
    3. Database Ranking is not there
    4. Column can be conditionally hidden
    5. Free-hand sql, SP can be used as data providers
    6. No time out error.
    7. Needs to be installed on all the desktop machines

  • Regarding WEBI rich client and Info view.

    Hi all,
      I am able to open an universe based on the query created using querydesigner through the rich client but it is giving the error when I execute the same query based universe through the infoview.
    Please share the information if any of u have.
    Thanks
    vinay.

    This might help....
    As you know:
    Rich Client works like Designer and DESKI, I mean connections are from your PC to Database
    Whereas Infoview/WEBI are from your BOBJ Server to Database

  • Rich client and thin client

    Hello experts,
    Rich contents are data manager, console, import manager and syndicator GUI clients
    thin contents are portal way of looking mdm using iviews.
    is this true??
    Regards
    Eva M

    Hi Eva,
    Good Day !
    You are right .
    A thing client (generally a software application/portal) depends primarily on a central server ( MDM server in this case) .It will drive communicating inputs from user to server and delivering back outputs from server to the user.Thin clients are independent of the machine you are using .
    Eg:Portal
    A thick client passes on data from an MDM user to Server . Such clients are generally used for performing data storage and processing activities directly at server level.Thiick clients need dedicated installations of GUIs and are machine dependant.
    Eg:data manager, console, import manager and syndicator GUI clients
    Hope this clarifies your query.

  • Gmail and native client and security

    Hello everyone
    Gmail has an option on the web for secure https login. I worry about push login over public transport wifi. Is this secure? I am not sure what ssl is and whether it encrypts each email as well as log in information.,
    Eric

    SSL is what is used by Microsoft Outlook to grab emails over a secure port. Your information will be just as secure if you're using SSL on your PlayBook as if you were using it on Outlook.
    I hope that helps!

  • Rich Client and firewalls??

    The documentation says that a range of ports will have to be opened in the
    firewall to allow RMI/IIOP traffic in. My question is is how do you
    determine that range and is it configurable?
    We're running iPlanet 6.0 sp2 on Solaris.
    thx
    A.

    You only need to open the port to the CXS process. Which you set up when
    you define the CXS and defaults to 9010.

  • WebI report in Rich Client refreshing - But not in the webbased WebI client

    Dear experts,
    I am quite new to BO and I am currently facing the following problem regarding our WebI reports:
    I created a WebI report in the WebI Rich Client. This report accesses an OLAP universe, which in turn gets data from a SAP BW through a BI query. I also exported the report to the CMS. In InfoView, it is displayed correctly as well. The report displays the data alright.
    Now here comes the strange part of it: When refreshing the report from within the WebI Rich Client, the data is being updated (the current BW data is being shown) as it is supposed to. BUT when refreshing the report from within the WebI Java client (in InfoView), the report would not update, i.e. it would not display the current BW data but instead the old data. When scheduling instance creation the instances would also not display the current data.
    We are am running BO XI 3.1, no FixPacks.
    Does anybody have a clue why this is happening?
    Any hint would be appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance!
    Best,
    Kai

    Hi Ingo,
    Many thanks for your reply!
    The report would not refresh after I hit "Refresh data" ("Daten regenerieren" in German). Plus the newly created instances (one instance is being created every 5 mins) would also not show the current data.
    The funny thing is that as soon as I go back to the Rich Client and hit "Refresh data" in the Rich Client, the report would always show the current data, never the old ones.
    We should probably continue discussing in just one thread (Scheduled WebI report instances with differing values), this issue seems to be interrelated somehow anyway. Sorry for opening up multiple threads.
    Thanks and best regards,
    Kai

  • Rich Client advice

    Hi all,
    Been searching the archives.
    I've developed a Swing standalone app and would like to convert it into a "Rick Client" but shifting certain parts over to a backend. My initial work has been a servlet on Tomcat webserver I maintain.
    Can anyone point me to any up-to-date examples or Rich Client development?
    Is the use of http requests/responses the standard way to do this or are there non-servlet examples?
    There seem to be so many frameworks for this (Eclipse RC, Spring RC etc.)
    Many thanks.

    Thanks for the pointer. I will look at the tutorials.
    I guess what I really want to know is what do people use as the most "vanilla"/non-framework communication between a Rich Client and a backend server.
    Do the back ends tend to be servlets/JSPs or WebServices or what?
    Thanks again.

  • Protocol Router for Rich Client Front Controller

    Hello,
    I would like to support multiple client types in my J2EE application - Web Client and Rich Client (Swing Application).
    Java BluePrints (Designing Enterprise Applications
    with the J2EETM Platform, Second Edition) suggests using a Protocol Router for centralized control in case of supporting multiple client types with multiple controllers - http://java.sun.com/blueprints/guidelines/designing_enterprise_applications_2e/web-tier/web-tier5.html.
    I have several doubts with this approach and will appreciate very much any help with clarifying the following:
    1) How does a Rich Client communicate to Protocol Router? Using HTTP? That means then that each request/response has to be wrapped in HTTP Request/Response object. It may impact the performance and make the communication between Rich Client and back-end slower.
    2) If rich client communicates with Protocol Router through HTTP, what is the difference between Fron Controller for Web Client and for Rich Client?
    3) The J2EE Tutorial on the other hand, shows direct connection from Application (Rich) Client to EJB layer - http://java.sun.com/j2ee/tutorial/1_3-fcs/doc/Ebank.html.
    It will be greatly appreciated to know how would you address the above doubts.
    Best Regards.

    1) How does a Rich Client communicate to Protocol
    Router? Using HTTP? Yes, HTTP . You are right about performance issues. That protocol router seems to me like like overengineering. Anyway, I think a WEB service could be better choice. It's a standart way how to wrap remote requests in HTTP.
    2) If rich client communicates with Protocol Router
    through HTTP, what is the difference between Fron
    Controller for Web Client and for Rich Client?I think the difference is in types of requests. WEB client would request
    WEB pages, SWING client doesnt need WEB pages. It would request contents
    of list boxes and things like that.
    I would suggest you to use EJB's with session facade pattern. Provide WEB service style access to your app. Many app. servers provide feature to expose SLSB as WEB services. Thus you will support almost any types of clients (.NET, Perl, whatever). You can also use WEB service to connect from you'r SWING client. If later you are not satisfied with performance, you can switch to RMI. If you use BusinessDelegate pattern then you will need to change BusinessDelegate only, just one class.
    I have written an example EJB based app. which can be accessed by SWING client using RMI or SOAP, WEB client, .NET client and CORBA.
    You can get it from:
