Secure Zone

Hello, My BC only has 2 options within Site Manger (Web Forms and System Emails). I want to create a Secure Zone on my Muse site (published via BC). I've just watched the BCGurus tutorial videos about how to do this but I don't have the Secure Zone option in my Site Manager - why not? How do I get it?

Hi Liam
how do I upgrade to a version of BC that lets me put a secure zone on a muse site?
The adobe forums for Muse seem to suggest that a BC secure zone can be inserted into a muse site. What are the limitations of Muse when using BC?
Thanks
Melanie

Secure Zone Customer Activity Tracking

I'm new to Business Catalyst, so this may be obvious to some of you, but I have a question about tracking customer activity on my Business Catalyst site. I can track logins into Secure Zones, but only whether/not the customer has logged into the site.
What I'd really like to do is track a customer's usage of the site - in other words, I'd like to see what a customer's activity looks like on the site. So if a customer goes from Home (secure zone login), to About, to whatever other page. I suppose how much time they spend is too granular, but if I could figure out how to track their site usage, it'd really help me with a client. The only way I can see how to do it on my own is to require users to log in to every single page, which compromises far too much usability.
So, how about it? Is there anyone that can provide a suggestion, either using the BC interface, or using some other type of tracking mechanism?

BC can't do that out of the box. You may want to use Google Analytics for that.

Why do I get these messages "logged in but not to a specific secure zone"

Could anyone please explain why this messge would appear on the dashboard
'username' logged in but not to a specific secure zone
instead of
'username' logged in to Member Only Area secure zone
On this website, customers can only log on to a secure zone, and there is only one secure zone.
Thanks

Hi Mario,
Thank you for your response.
There are only two places users could log in, and none have ZoneID=-1
I tested both options with one of my own (non admin account) login, and none produced the above message.
action="/ZoneProcess.aspx?ZoneID=51&OID=5459507&OTYPE=1"
action="/ZoneProcess.aspx?ZoneID=51&OID=5459507&OTYPE=1"
both ZoneID's are the same
What is weird though, only one specific user account is generating that message.
At this stage the user has not complained about not being able to access his/her data yet.
My only concern was that this could be a possible security risk.
Thanks

How to use single web form for multiple secure zone signup?

I have multiple secure zones in my website. I want to sell membership of secure zones to users of my website. I want, users signup for multiple secure zone of their choice and submit payment. Is it possible if can you please explain a bit or refer me to an doc about it.
Thanks a lot for your time,

I realize this isn't likely, but do you know of a way to allow the user to select the secure zone to be registered (e.g. from a list of multiple secure zones or entering ID of one sz into a text input) from within a single web form? I wonder if this can be passed in through a parameter in the action URL or through a special system field.
Thanks

How to create a Payment Form for access to multiple secure zones

I'm trying to create a Payment Form that allows the user to select from a dropdown of videos, each of which represents a secure zone page with an embedded video.
What I can't figure out -- and tech chat can't help -- is how to redirect the user to the correct secure zone for the video they purchased.
Videos are are streaming, vimeo embeds, not downloads.
Anyone know how to do this? Can post link to test form if you need it.
Thanks!

Hi,
This can be done for already available list. Have a look at the following steps:
Create an Empty SharePoint Project, then right click the project, add SharePoint “Layouts” Mapped Folder.
Right click the project name, add New item Application Page, then add the custom code there.
Under Features, add a feature, right click the added feature then add an event receiver, override the FeatureActivated method to set the new edit/new form as the default form.
How to set new form as default form:
SPList lstTest = web.Lists["Shared Documents"];
string newUrl =
string.Format("layouts/NewEditForm.aspx", web.ServerRelativeUrl, lstTest.RootFolder.Url);
var form = web.GetFile(newUrl);
if (form !=
null && form.Exists)
//string newFomrUrl = lstTest.DefaultEditFormUrl.Replace("EditForm.aspx", "docEditForm.aspx");
lstTest.DefaultEditFormUrl = newUrl;
lstTest.Update();
For more information, see

To add a custom list form, the best way I think is using SharePoint Designer 2010, it’s very fast.

Can you determine which secure zone you are logged into?

Hi all,
Is there a tag that tells you which secure zones you are logged into and display it on the screen. Or even javascript.
Thanks

Thanks Liam.
I kind of worked out the you need to pull out the page id out of the URL and display it that way, but it fails if you have more than one page (you could check across all pages that are part of the secure zone I guess).
Any other ideas would be appreciated.
Anyway thanks again.

Can't download itunes - security zone policy error message - please help!

Hi there,
I have had an ipod for a while now but can't use it as everytime i try to download itunes I just get the following error message;
This download has been blocked by your security zone policy - edgesuite.net.
I am using firefox on a windows vista with norton security protection. If you have any suggestions on how I can resolve this I would really appreciate it!

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Include Secure Zone name in Order Workflow Notification

Hi All,
Hoping that someone can help me with a solution for the following:
We have a site that has a number of secure zones, each secure zone has an individual product catalogue assigned to it.
The problem we have is that when someone does an order from within the secure zone, the Workflow notification does not contain any information about which secure zone the order came from.
So I'm wondering if it is possible to write some code that will query what secure zone you are logged in to and have this as a hidden field on the Order page, to be included in the Workflow Notification.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Cheers,
Emily

You can parse the user's securezone subscriptions out of {module_subscriptions,true,true,,true}, or you could look for an attribute unique to each catalogue, like <div data-catalogue="{{tag_somethingUnique">...catalogue template code...</div> plus jQuery('[data-catalogue]').data('catalogue');

I can't find the Secure Zone in my Site-Manager.

I'm a creative cloud member and I can't find the Secure Zone in my Site-Manager. There are only Web-Formulars and System-E-Mails. What do I have to do?

Hi there, the creative cloud site you get is only a web basic plan. You do not have those features, you will need to upgrade if you want them.

Help with secure zone/ forum registration

Im having difficulty grasping the secure zone concept and ive spent days watching videos and reading online so I hope someone can help push me forward.
I built the site with Muse, and im using dreamweaver and the BC site (older view) to help edit. I have a creative cloud subscription.
First I want to create a registration page to collect custom information on users, for example: The site is about traveling, so I want users to be able to select which countries they have visited, upload a photo, and control their own profile.
I want this user information to control the forums, their own blog, and their own photo galleries.
I'm not afarid of doing the work it till take to get this done but I dont understand if I need to use webforms, or web app. The forums module has a default registration page that is very basic, can I use that for a template and just expand it?
Also I attempted to make webforms and use them, however when I publish my site live again in muse, it seems to delete any forms I made in BC, do I need finish using muse and stay away from it now that the basics are complete?
Thanks for your help, and any leads or overall concepts that I am missing would be great! Thanks!

You can not do that in BC exactly. It is not designed for that sort of site.
You can not use the CRM to build that sort of thing.
You will need to build a blog with webb apps and allow them to submit their own and edit their own web app items. For the forums you have a login for the forums but you can not have their own indevidual forum.
Photo gallery - not using the BC module and will again have to be a web app and limited.
To pull that into a public profile you again can not use the CRM as showing their CRM information is ONLY when THEY are logged in. You would have to replicate their data in another web app. And pulling them together will be hard unless you know ajax etc and still complicated.
You probably better off using a different platform to achieve what your after. Coming from Muse and what that outputs as well your going to have a hard time of it. You can not use Muse to publish if you want more stuff like this because it will just do an all in one publish. If you do stick with BC you have to now Ditch Muse if you watn to do any of this right and more.

How do I show the details of a customer when they are logged in a secure zone?

How do I show the details of a customer when they are logged in a secure zone?
I want to show the customer details as well as some customer CRM fields that are applied to the customer. None of these are entered via a form, they would be entered by the client. The customer would need to be able to log in to view the information and get an email alert when it is updated. Help!?

Hi,
You might want to look into customer service zones which allows customers once logged in to see their case, order and own details.

How do you set the expiration date of a secure zone?

I am trying to set up a form where a user can sign up for access to a secure zone for 1 year. How do I set the expiration date of the secure zone for them to expire one year after they sign up for it?
I have tried using a hidden field named "ZoneExpiry" (I have tried "ExpiryDate" as well) in the form and set its value attribute manually in the HTML (with the format 13-May-13), and the expiration date always ends up being 31-Dec-9999.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have done this.
Have a hidden input field on form <input name="ZoneExpiry" id="ExpiryDate" />
Then have a function as follows:
var dat=new Date();
                                                  dat.setDate(dat.getDate() + 365);
                                                  var monthname=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun", "Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
                                                  var pretty = dat.getDate() + "-" + monthname[dat.getMonth()] + "-" + dat.getFullYear();
                                                  jQuery("#ExpiryDate").val(pretty);
Hope this helps.

Secure Zone Login Issues: It worked great and now just stopped.

The secure zone on my client's site worked great for about a month and now it just stopped. All of a sudden it won't let us type into the username and password boxes. We can click on the "remember me" button and the "submit button" but not type. I've tried deleting and redoing the code and still nothing. Our issue is occuring most when used with Chrome's browser. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks for your reply, Liam. Oddly enough I was just reading your expectional contributor profile that popped up in my side collumn.
Here is the link to the site. The login works fine in Safari, it's just a problem with Chrome I believe.

The login area is in the bottom right of the footer titled "Employee Login."

Security Zones and portalapp.xml

On the page http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/25/85de55a94c4b5fa7a2d74e8ed201b0/content.htm
it says that the settings (security zone, permission) in the portalapp.xml defines who can access this application.
Then it says that PRT checks the users iView-permission and then optionally the security zone permission, depending on the setting of the parameter -Dcom.sap.nw.sz=true in the J2EE.
Question:
When this parameter is disabled (default), are the security zones just not checked when accessing an application throug an iView or also when they are accessed through direct URL?

Hi Manuel,
I just checked it against our SP12 installation, with the same component, which has the same settings as yours:
> it can be run by any authenticated user
This at least does not hold for our portal installation. Each access with the given URL, called by an authenticated user which does not have one of the admin roles set within the security zones, ends with:
Access denied (Object: com.sap.portal.system/security/sap.com/NetWeaver.Portal/high_safety/com.sap.portal.runtime.system.console/components/ClusterAdminConsole)
The application permissions do not play a role here, these are for the iView wizards, which applications are to be chosen.
So, double check the user you are testing with; maybe the version is buggy?
> In the Security-Zone-Permissions
> ara:/security/sap.com/NetWeaver.Portal/high_safety/com.sap.portal.runtime.system.console
Under components/ClusterAdminConsole the same settings are to be found? (I expect it, but just to be sure.)
Hope it helps

Secure Zone login form logs user in who isn't registered for it?!

I have a client who runs an eCommerce site through BC. We have a secure zone setup for his site and he wants to review and approve users before they are given access. There is good reason for this so please don't bring up counter-points as it is non-negotiable.
Anyway, the secure zone registration form basicly creates a user CRM record and allows them to select a username and password. I've instructed to client to continue into the CRM and select the checkbox next to the appropriate secure zone in order to authorize the account to login. As far as we know this has been working until yesterday. Now, when somebody who has an account but it is not approved yet tries to login, they receive the form error as to be expected. However they get logged into some phantom secure zone.
I say "phantom" zone because the actual registration form doesn't subscribe them to a secure zone, it's manual (as previously stated). This is a pretty big issue as a major reason for doing this is that my client doesn't want his prices visible to the public. Only after the person is in the secure zone are prices visible. Any help would be much appreciated. I know BC launched a new update recently which my be a contributing factor....thanks in advance!

Hi Mike,
This has always been the case.
IF you have a username and password and login to a site you are logged in. You may very well not be part of a securezone but you are logged in. This is why hiding and showing content soley based on the isloggedin module is a very thoughtful process as you can not show content based on this knowledge.
This has nothing to do with the update, you probably only just noticed this behavior but this has been the case since BC born.

Security Zone error.

I have a federated portal, i.e. producer - consumer relationship (7.0 sp18) and when I federate a BEx qry I'm getting a Security Zone error with the following message:
Caused by: com.sapportals.portal.pcd.gl.PermissionControlException: Access denied (Object(s): com.sap.portal.system/security/sap.com/NetWeaver.Portal/high_safety/com.sap.portal.runtime.system.console/components/default)
I did the following:
Go to System Administration -> Support.
Under the Area column select Portal Runtime. Scroll down to the JNDI Browsers section, and select Security Zones Browser. Drill down to sap.com/NetWeaver.Portal/high_safety/com.sap.portal.runtime.system.console/components/default.
I'm seeing "No service is bound to this secutiy zone"
I understand I need to go to System Administration -> Permissions,
Browse to Security Zones:
sap.com/NetWeaver.Portal/high_safety/com.sap.portal.runtime.system.console/components/default
and right-click -> Edit Permissions.
All I have to do is add end-user-read permissions is that correct?
I currenlty see just content_admin, super_admin, and system_admin all with End USer checked. Do I have to add my "Everyone" role as an assigned permission and ck End User?
Then when I go back to the Support Desk I see a service bound?
Mike

From what I am seeing I now understand that in my federated env I am generating a URL that exceeds 2083 characters. We are using IE Version 7.0.5730.13CO
I also understand that I am not having this issue when using Firefox.
These urls are getting generated when the users save a BEx qry to the BEx Portfolio or their My Portfolio.
The reason I was getting the security errors was the url's were getting chopped off and the users did not have access to those components.
Anyone implement a method to fix this issue?
MIke
