Role based session service setup on AM 7.1 with separate conf/user ldap

AM 7.1 is installed with two separate LDAP instances used for AM config store and user repository.
I want to setup different active session quota based on role assignment.
The session service cos only existed on the AM config LDAP store.
If I create the role and assigned and customize the session service to the role on the AM config LDAP store, the role cannot be assigned to user profile only existed on the user repository.
If the role is created on the user repository, then the session service cannot assigned to the role on the user repository.
I try created roles on both repository, assign session service to the role on AM config ldap and assign role of same name on the user repository to the user. The role based session is not effective.
Would appreciate if any one can shed some light on how to setup role based session service on an AM installation with the AM config ldap and user repository being on 2 separate ldap instances.
Thanks

SC3.2/oracle service; adding a 2nd db instance with non default user

Hi, I have a 3.2 Cluster configuration with oracle 9i working, now I want to add a 2nd instance to the cluster but I need to create a new resource group, because I'm using a different OS user and pass for this database I would like to know if I need to specify the OS user and password for the oracle server resource, so cluster can start the rs with the appropriate user for this new database.
Filesystems and oracle sfw are in different directories/volumes, os user owns the fs and the db can start outside the cluster without problems, next step is to add everything into the cluster.
I only found a user_env attribute at the moment of the creation of the resource, but it doesn't look like the option that I need.
Any help is appreciated.

Do you mean a separate database (instance) rather than a 2nd instance, which might suggest a RAC deployment?
If so, when you build the database you will need to follow the same procedure as in the manual. The database will have a monitoring user configured and this information is supplied in the Oracle resource properties. If the database runs from a different Oracle home, then the new Oracle (Solaris) user will be picked up from the uid of the oracle binary.

ADF UIX Role Based Access Control Implementation

Hi,
Can anybody suggest a detailed example or tutorials of how to implement a role based access control for my ADF UIX application.
The application users can be dymanically added to specific roles (admin, Secretary, Guest). Based on the roles, they should be allowed to access only certain links or ADF entity/view operations. Can this be implemented in a centralized way.
Can this be done using JAZN or JAAS. If so, Please provide me references to simple tutorial on how to do this.
Thanks a lot.
Sathya

Brenden,
I think you are following a valid approach. The default security in J2EE and JAAS (JAZN) is to configure roles and users in either static files (jazn-data.xml) or the Oracle Internet Directory and then use either jazn admin APIs or the OID APIs to programmatically access users, groups and Permissions (your role_functions are Permissions in a JAAS context).
If you modelled your security infrastructure in OID than the database, an administrator would be able to use the Delegated Administration Service (DAS), as web based console in Oracle Application Server. To configure security this way, you would have two options:
1. Use J2EE declarative security and configure all you .do access points in web.xml and constrain it by a role name (which is a user group name in OID). The benefit of this approach is that you can get Struts actions working dirctly with it because Struts actions have a roles attribute.
The disadvantage is that you can't dynamically create new roles because they have to be mapped in web.xml
2. Use JAAS and check Permissions on individual URLs. This allows you to perform finer grained and flexible access control, but also requires changes to Struts. Unlike the approach of subclassing the DataActionForward class, I would subclass the Struts RequestProcessor and change the processRoles method to evaluate JAAS permissions.
The disadvantage of this approach is that it requires coding that should be done carefully not to lock you in to your own implementation of Struts so that you couldn't easily upgrade to newer versions.
1 - 2 have the benefit of that the policies can be used by all applications in an enterprise that use Oracle Application Server and e.g. SSO.
Your approach - as said - is valid and I think many customers will look for the database first when looking at implementing security (so would I).
Two links that you might be interested in to read are:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jguard/ --> an open source JAAS based security framework that stores the user, roles and permissions in database tables similar to your approach
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/papers/10g/adfstrutsj2eesec.pdf --> a whitepaper I've written about J2EE security for Web applications written with Struts and JavaServer pages. You may not be able to use all of it, but its a good source of information.

CSM Role Based Administration

Does Cisco Security Manager 4.x and Cisco Secure Access Control Server 5.x integrated role based administration has fine-grained control for devices? E.g.,
* User-a can only manage policy-a for device-a
* User-b can only manage policy-b for device-b

ACS 4.2 should allow role-based access, but until the final build of CSM 4.0 is released this cannot be confirmed.
I am not aware of plans to add the support within ACS 5.x, but you can always engage your Cisco account team to submit a product enhancement request on your behalf.

Role Based Forms in Service Manager

Is it possible to customize the Service Request form, and make the customizations available to only certain users based on their role?

Hi,
I would add the customization to the separate tab and show this tab only for the users in the required group. Refer to Rob Ford's
post.

Role-Based Security In SQL Server Reporting Services

Hi
I have created Reports,
Now I need to assign Role-Based Security, ie like some particular clients can access only some particular report.
http://localhost/reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
Here in the above link i can see the property tool bar where i need to set the user assignement roles.
could any one please help me out how to set different login assigned to a set of report.
Or is there any tutor links for this.
Thanks a lot.
Shan

Create folders under the Home page (the link you have there). For each folder set group athentication (AD) or harder managed, user account roles for the folders and the reports under the folder.
If you set security at that home level you will not be able to control what reports they see or can't see. You'll need to go all the way to the folder/report level.
It's also not best practice to deploy reports directly to the home level. Not best practice in it creating a very hard to manage security level. Think of the levels in security as such to SQL Server. Set the connect to sql level, database level and then down to the objects in them. Same priciples apply to SSRS.
Here is a cast going through some security settings as well http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/dd391734.aspx fro creating your roles and utilizing them

Privileges and Roles Based Views

Hello,
I have been confguring Roles based Views with Windows radius authentication on our 2960's and 3750's and it is working great. I have 2 users, one with a Roles Base View called "priv3" and the other is for admins of login as the "root" view. I have one Windows Active Directory group for "priv3" users and the other for admins using "root".
Now I have to configure this on our 2955 switches and to my horror they don't seem to support Roles Based Views!! fI you know if they can then all this would be solved, I've using the latest IOS c2955-i6k2l2q4-mz.121-22.EA13.bin.
How can convert the Roles Base Views to privileges and use radius and not effect the other switches,as I've never used privilges.
I hope someone can help with the config:
Below is the config I use on the 2960's and 3750's and also what I use on the radius servers. I guess I would need ot use a priv 15 setup and a custom view called priv3?
Priv3 radius user settings

Renumbering with ACL-Friendly Role-Based Addressing or...?

We are a mid-sized manufacturing firm operating out of three locations and we are in the process of making plans to restructure and renumber our networks so as to better facilitate automated configuration management and security, in addition to easing our deployment of IPv6. Currently, at each site the L3/L2 boundary resides at the network core, but increasing traffic/chatter has us considering moving the L3/L2 boundary to the access layer(s), which consist of 3560-X units in the wiring closets that are supporting edge devices either directly or via 8-port 3560-C compact switches in the further reaches of our manufacturing and warehouse spaces.
As we contemplate moving to a completely routed network, the big unknown we're struggling with is whether or not it is safe or even desirable to abandon ACL-friendly addressing, and whether, in doing so, we can expect to run into hardware limitations resulting from longer ACLs.
Currently, each of our site-wide VLANs gets a subnet of the form 10.x.y.0/24, where x identifies the site and y identifies the class of equipment connected to said VLAN. This allows us to match internal traffic of a given type with just a single ACE, irrespective of where the end-point device resides geographically. Moving L3 routing decisions out to the access switches will require that we adopt smaller prefix assignments, with as many as 8 distinct subnets on each of our standard-issue 3560CG-8PC compact switches. Why so many, you ask? We currently have more than 30 ACL-relevant classifications of devices/hosts - a number that will only grow with time, and to maximize the availability of all services, it is our policy to physically distribute edge devices of a given class (eg. printers, access points, etc) over as many access switches as possible.
From what I can see, we have three options, each of which present trade-offs in terms of management complexity and address utilization efficiency:
Option 1: Stick with ACL-friendly addressing, both for IPv4 and IPv6, and allocate uniform prefixes to each access switch. For IPv4, within the 10.0.0.0/8 block we would probably allocate 8 bits to the site ID (/16), followed by 6 bits as the switch ID (/22), and 7 bits to identify the equipment/host classification (/29), for a maximum of 5 available addresses for a given class of devices on a given access switch. For IPv6, assuming we have a /48 block for each site, we would use the first two bits to identify the type of allocation, the following 6 as the switch ID (/56), and the following 8 as the equipment/host classification (/64).
Option 2: Abandon ACL-friendly addressing and dynamically allocate standard-sized prefixes from a common pool to each VLAN on a given switch. The advantages of this approach are increased utilization efficiency and more addresses available within each VLAN, but it comes at the cost of non-summarizable routing tables and ACLs, and even if the hardware can handle this, it means we're talking about a more complex configuration management system and less ease in troubleshooting problems.
Option 3: Do something similar to option 1, but with the L2/L3 boundary positioned at the distribution layer rather than the access layer. I'm disinclined to go this route, as it seems to require the same, if not more, management complexity than we'll encounter with option 1, with only marginal benefits over keeping things the way they are currently (L2/L3 boundary at the network core).
Thoughts? What issues have we neglected to consider? No matter which approach we select, it shall be assumed that we will be building a system to track all of these prefix assignments, provision switches, and manage their configurations. From a standpoint of routing protocols, we would probably be looking at OSPFv2/v3. It can also be assumed that if we encounter legacy devices requiring direct L2 connectivity to one another that we already have ways of bridging their traffic using external devices, so as far as this discussion is concerned, they aren't an issue.
Thanks in advance for your ideas!

Hi David,
Permissions based on GUI components is a simple & neat idea. But is it rugged? Really secure? It might fall short of Grady Booch's idea of Responsibilities of objects. Also that your Roles and Access components are coupled well with Views!!!!!!!
My suggestion regarding the Management Beans is only to do with the dynamic modification which our discussion was giong forward.
If we go back to our fundamental objective of implementing a Role based access control,let me put some basic questions.
We have taken the roles data from a static XML file during the start up of the container. The Roles or Access are wanted to be changed dynamically during the running of the container. You would scrutinize the changes of Roles and access before permission during the case of dynamic modification.
Do you want this change to happen only for that particular session? Don't you want these changes to persist??? When the container is restarted, don't you want the changes to stay back?
If the answer to the above is YES(yes I want to persist changes), how about doing a write operation(update role/access) of the XML file and continue your operation? After all, you can get the request to a web or session bean and keep going.
If the answer to the above is NO(no, i don't want to persist), you can still get the change role request to a web or session bean and keep going.
Either way, there is going to be an intense scrutiny of the operator before giving her permissions!!!
One hurdle could be that how to get all neighbouring servers know about the changes in roles and access??? An MBean or App Server API could help you in this.
May I request all who see this direction to pour in more comments/ideas ? I would like to hear from David, duffymo, komone and jschell.

EAM ID based or Role based? Why settle for just one?

G'Day All,
I've raised a question in the following blog, however I would like to open it up to other people as well so they might get something out of it and in the process might share their own thoughts on the matter at hand.
ID-Based Firefighting vs. Role-Based Firefighting
So this is where I am at this point:
From what I can gather so far, my understanding of EAM ID/ROLE based is as follows:
- Id Based: Logs in using own U.ID and through GRAC_SPM accesess FFID from the GRC Server and logs into the system assigned to them (ECC, SRM, CRM etc)
Only one user at a time can use a FFID.
Firefighter need not exist in every system assigned to them due to central logon however they need to exist in the GRC system
Knows exactly when FFID is being used as he/she has to login so has a psychological effect (good thing)
Better tracking of FF tasks - Specific log reports with Reason Codes. Bonus point from Auditors!
Two Log ins so potential to commit fraud. (1 action using own UserID and 1 action using FFID)
Could be hard to track and find out when a fraud has been committed so can be a problem with auditors.
      ID Based -> GRAC_SPM : TCode for Centralised FFighting -> You will see FFIDs assigned to you
      ID Based -> /n/GRCPI/GRIA_EAM : TCode for DCentralised FFighting -> You can see the FFIDs assigned to you
- Role Based: Logs into the remote system only using U.ID, so everything gets logged against that one ID.
Multiple users can use the FFROLE at once.
Firefighter has to exist in every system assigned to them - so multiple logons.
Hard to differentiate between FF tasks and normal tasks as no login required So easy to slip up
Time consuming to track FF tasks - No Specific log reports. No Reason Codes
     R.Based -> GRAC_SPM : TCode for Centralised FFighting -> You will see FFROLEs
     R.Based -> /n/GRCPI/GRIA_EAM : TCode for DCentralised FFighting -> Not applicable so wont work
So based on this there are pros and cons in both however according to SAP only one can be used. To me personally, it makes more sense to get the best of both the worlds right? So here is my question why can’t we just use both?
    . Really critical tasks -> FFID
    . Normal EAM tasks -> FFRole
Alessandaro from the original post pointed this out:
"Per design it isn't possible to achieve both types of firefighting at the same time. It's a system limitation and hence to configurable."
Well this is what I can't seem to get my head around. For a FFID, there is a logon session so it has to be enabled and as far as I can tell there is no way around it.
However for FFRole, there isn't such limitations/restrictions like starting a separate session. FFRole is just assigned to an end user for him/her to perform those tasks using their own user ID.
So in what way is it different from any of their other tasks/roles, other than the fact that they've got an Owner/Controller assigned to the FFRole? and
What is stopping us from using it when ID based is the default?
If I were to do the following does it mean I can use both ?
    . Config Parameter: 4000 = 1 (GRC System) -> ID Based
    . Config Parameter: 4000 = 2 (Plug-In) - > Role Based
Please excuse me if my logic is a bit silly, Role Based firefighting is only done on Plug-in systems so the following should work just fine:
   . Config Parameter: 4000 = 2 (Plug-In) - > Role Based
However for ID based, it is a Central Logon, so the following is a must:
    . Config Parameter: 4000 = 1 (GRC System) -> ID Based
Which means both ID/Role based can be used at the same time, which seems to be working just fine on my system. Either way I leave it you experts and I hope you will shed some light on it.
Cheers
Leo..

Gretchen,
Thank you for thoughts on this.
Looks like I'm failing to articulate my thoughts properly as the conversation seems to be going in a different direction from what I am after. I'll try once more!
My query/issue is not in regards to if/what SAP needs to do about this or why there isn't more support from Companies/Organizations and not even, which one is a better option.
My query is what is stopping us(as in the end users ) from using both ID/Role based at the same time?
Now before people start referencing SAP documentation and about parameter 4000, humour me with the following scenario please. Again I would like to reiterate that I am still in the learning phase so my logic might be all wrong/misguided, so please do point out to me where I am going wrong in my thought process as I sincerely would like to know why I am the odd one out in regards to this.
Scenario
I've created the following:
FFID
FFROLE
Assigned them to, two end users
John Doe
Jane Doe
I set the Configuration Parameters as follows:
IMG-> GRC-> AC-> Maintain Configuration Settings -> 4000:1 - ID Based
IMG-> GRC (Plug-in)-> AC-> Maintain Plug-In Configuration Settings-> 4000:2 - Role Based
User1
John Doe logs into his regular backend system (ECCPROD001)-> executes GRAC_SPM-> Enters the GRC system (GRCPROD001)-> Because the parameter is set to ID based in the GRC Box, so he will be able to see the FFID assigned to him-> and will be presented with the logon screen-> Logs in -> Enters the assigned system (lets say CRMPROD001) At this point the firefighting session is under progress
User2
Jane Doe logs into her regular backend system (ECCPROD001) -> (can execute GRAC_SPM to check which FF Role has been assigned to her but she can see that in her regular menu, so there is no point) -> Executes the transactions assigned in FFROLEThis is done at the same time while FFID session is in progress
So all I want to know is if this scenario is possible? if the answer is No, then why not?
I physically carried out this scenario in my system and I had no problems(unless I am really missing the plot here), which brings me back to my original question: Why settle for just one?
Again to reiterate I am not getting into the efficacy or merits of this or even if one should use this. Just want to know if it is possible/feasible or not.
So there you have it. That's the whole enchilada(as they say there in Texas). I tried to word my thoughts as concisely as I can, if there are still any clarifications, more information you or anyone else reading this would like, please do let me know.
Regards,

GRC10 Firefighter - Role-based & ID-based

GRC Gurus,
I am looking for a solution or at least theoretical discussion about a scenario in which GRC 10 system is connected to more than 1 target system and in one system I want to use FFID-based option where as in other system it is FF-Role based. For example, in a system where all the users are logging in through SAP GUI, it will be better to have FFID-based firefighter where as in system where most of the users are logging in through portal it will be better to have role-based firefighter. under GRC5.3 it was pretty simple as RTAs were independent in each separate system but in GRC10 since type of firefighter is controlled by single parameter, what will be a way to implement such hybrid approach.
Regards,
Shivraj

Thanks Anji,
Thanks for the response, I am aware of the 4000 situation, I was just wondering if someone has figured out any workaround for this. Because otherwise, it is a step backward for new version as under 5.3, systems could have been on different setups whereas under GRC10 that is not possible.
Regards,
Shivraj Singh

Role-Based CLI Views with AAA method

Hi,
I'm configuring Role-Based CLI Views on a router for limiting access to users.
My criteria:
- There should be a local user account on the router that has the view 'service' attached to it
- If the router is online and can reach the radius server, people in the correct group are assigned the view 'service'
My configuration:
aaa new-model
enable secret 1234

The ERROR
Now I want to go configure the cli view 'service'...
# enable view
Password: 1234
*Jun 1 08:00:02.991: AAA/AUTHEN/VIEW (0000000D): Pick method list 'mgmt'
*Jun 1 08:00:02.991: RADIUS/ENCODE(0000000D): ask "Password: "
*Jun 1 08:00:02.991: RADIUS/ENCODE(0000000D): send packet; GET_PASSWORD
*Jun 1 08:00:21.011: RADIUS: Received from id 1645/13 10.1.1.1:1645, Access-Reject, len 20
The Questions
Why does the 'enable view' try to pick a method list when you have to supply the enable secret to access the root view?
Can you change this behaviour to always use the enable secret?
The TEMP Solution
If you're logged on to the router via telnet or SSH, the solution or workaround to this issue is:
aaa authentication login VIEW_CONFG local
line vty 0 4
login authentication VIEW_CONFG
Do your configuration of the view and re-configure the line to use the correct (wanted) method of authentication.
Thanks so much for the suggestions

hi,
You have the following configured:
aaa authentication login mgmt group my_radius local
aaa authorization exec mgmt group my_radius local
line con 0
authorization exec mgmt
logging synchronous
login authentication mgmt
line vty 0 4
authorization exec mgmt
logging synchronous
login authentication mgmt
transport input ssh
Hence every time you try to login to the console or try the ssh the authentication will head to the radius server because of the following command "login authentication mgmt".
You cannot make it locally. Whatever defined on the method list mgmt first will be taking the precedence.
enable seceret will be locally defined. but you have the following configured:
aaa authorization exec mgmt group my_radius local
line con 0
authorization exec mgmt
line vty 0 4
authorization exec mgmt
Hence exec mode will also be done via radius server.
when you configure:
aaa authentication login VIEW_CONFG local
line vty 0 4
login authentication VIEW_CONFG
You are making the authentication local, hence it is working the way you want.
In short, whatever authentication is defined 1st on the method list will take precendence. the fallback will be checked only if the 1st aaa server is not reachable.
Hope this helps.

Anisha

Role Based Access problem in forms

This would be a long reading.
I'm having a problem with forms Role Based Access.
We have two databases, one in London and one in Zurich. We have installed
application server and oracle forms on London database. We have implemented
Role Based Access to forms. For this we have created a database role (say ZUR_USER)
in both databases. The view FRM50_ENABLED_ROLES which is used by forms role based access control
is also created in both databases with a 'grant select to public'.
Our form system has a menu and forms under that menu. Both menu and the underlying forms have been
assigned Menu Security/Item Roles to the above mentioned ZUR_USER role and the role is assigned
to various users.
Now a Zurich user is trying to login to Zurich database using the URL for forms installation
in London server. He can login successfully and can see the menu heading in the main screen but
when he clicks the menu he doesn't see the underlying forms list.
When we try the same user id and database from London (using the same URL) we see all the forms.
Any idea what are we missing. The Menu Security is setup at menu level as well as the form level under
that menu. User can see the menu but not the form under that menu from Zurich. No such problem while
login from London.

I'm using the Forms 10g
and yes the only difference is between login from Zurich and London.
Problem definitely is due to Role Based Access setup.
The user in Zurich can see the Menu but not the items under that menu.
I have set the security set up at both menu and menu item(i.e. form name) level.

Role Based Access Control in Java

Hi,
we are designing a software solution that makes use of the Role Based Access Control pattern to control access of functions, EJBs, Servlets to certain users based on their "role".
I have not been able to understand clearly how that pattern can be implemented in Java. In addition, I stumbled on the java.security.acl and I wondering how will the package work together with RBAC pattern (Or is the pattern already implemented in some package)?
Does any1 have any comments on this? Thnx
Dave

Hi David,
Permissions based on GUI components is a simple & neat idea. But is it rugged? Really secure? It might fall short of Grady Booch's idea of Responsibilities of objects. Also that your Roles and Access components are coupled well with Views!!!!!!!
My suggestion regarding the Management Beans is only to do with the dynamic modification which our discussion was giong forward.
If we go back to our fundamental objective of implementing a Role based access control,let me put some basic questions.
We have taken the roles data from a static XML file during the start up of the container. The Roles or Access are wanted to be changed dynamically during the running of the container. You would scrutinize the changes of Roles and access before permission during the case of dynamic modification.
Do you want this change to happen only for that particular session? Don't you want these changes to persist??? When the container is restarted, don't you want the changes to stay back?
If the answer to the above is YES(yes I want to persist changes), how about doing a write operation(update role/access) of the XML file and continue your operation? After all, you can get the request to a web or session bean and keep going.
If the answer to the above is NO(no, i don't want to persist), you can still get the change role request to a web or session bean and keep going.
Either way, there is going to be an intense scrutiny of the operator before giving her permissions!!!
One hurdle could be that how to get all neighbouring servers know about the changes in roles and access??? An MBean or App Server API could help you in this.
May I request all who see this direction to pour in more comments/ideas ? I would like to hear from David, duffymo, komone and jschell.

WCF service setup with certificate authentication error

I have a WCF service setup and I need to use a certificate with it and are getting numerous errors when I attempt to browse it. The 1st error I get is "Security settings for this service require 'Anonymous' Authentication but it is not enabled for
the IIS application that hosts this service."
This sounds like a straightforward error message and setting the authentication method in IIS to anonymous resolves being able to browse the service. But I need to use a certificate and setting authentication to anonymous is obviously not right since we
only want those with the proper certificate to access the service. I have all authentication methods in IIS set to disabled when I get the above error message. I have the SSL settings in IIS for the service set to require a certificate as well. I am using
IIS 8.5 as well.
Here is my config file in hoping someone could point me in the correct direction. The service should only work over HTTPS since we are using a certificate and I need the meta data exposed as well hence the mexHttpBinding. I have searched the web but no solution
is working. Any help is appreciated.

Hi spark29er,
>>The service should only work over HTTPS since we are using a certificate and I need the meta data exposed as well hence the mexHttpBinding.
For creating the HTTPS WCF service, first please change the mexHttpBinding to
mexHttpsBinding as following:
<endpoint contract="IMetadataExchange" binding="mexHttpsBinding" address="mex" />
For more information, please try to refer to:
#Seven simple steps to enable HTTPS on WCF WsHttp bindings:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/36705/simple-steps-to-enable-HTTPS-on-WCF-WsHttp-bindi .
Then please try to check the following article about how to do the certificate authentication on HTTPS WCF Service:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/imayak/archive/2008/09/12/wcf-2-way-ssl-security-using-certificates.aspx .
Besides, setting the
includeExceptionDetailInFaults as false can give us more detailed error information.

Role based oracle adf security and filtering data

while oracle adf security looks great its only role based... does anyone know of any resources describing an architecture where this is used in addition to filtering of data based on say, organization?
it seems that oracle adf security is not really geared towards a self service app where administrative users have a security interface as part of the application where they can assign roles and associate users to entities for the further filtering of data...

Hi,
it seems that oracle adf security is not really geared towards a self service app where administrative users have a security interface as part of the application where they can assign roles and associate users to entities for the further filtering of data...
ADF Security is a JAAS based security implementation to protect resources (like entities). It is nota security provider like OPSS or OID which you can use for user provisioning and self service (if you code against the IDM APIs). ADF Security only checks for whether a user is authenticated and if the user has the permission to perform a task.
However, you can use groovy to access the security context from Groovy, which allows you to add the authenticated username to a query - for example to filter recrds out that match the username in one of its attributes.
For example, you could create a ViewCriteria that for example filters the query by a specific attribute. Say that managers can see data starting from department 10 whereas employees can see data starting from department 100. The ViewCriteria would reference a bind variable with the following default setting
adf.context.securityContext.isUserInRole('manager')? 10 : 100
