Security roles in a hierarchy format

Hello,
I have a requirement where I would like to put the security reporting roles in a group. Now I have all my security reporting roles like a list. Whereas I would like have them in a group. I would appreciate your help.
Current:
FI Performance reports
FI Balance sheet reports
FI AR reports
SD Sales performance reprots
SD Sales reports
SD Marketing reports;
Expected:
FI Reports
--- KPI's
          --- FI Performance reports
--- Financial
          --- FI Balance sheet reports
SD Reports
   --- KPI's
          --- SD Performance Reprots
   --- Marketing Reports
Thanks

Nobody uses the LDAP roles in a portlet? Anybody knows other thread discussing similar issue (I can't find anything)?

Security on Parent-Child Hierarchy

Problem Statement: In Parent Child Hierarchy say with Manager - Employee relationship, if we apply security using Siblings function in the Dimension Data Security (Allowed Member Set) then it displays children of peers at
same level as current employee.
Scenario:
Create Employee Dimension with Parent-Child hierarchy with steps below -
1) add data
===============================
(EmpKey|Name|Position| loginId| level| MgrKey)
1|Scott King|CEO|sking|level1|null
2|Rick Peters|VP|rpeters|level2|1
3|Steve Parker|VP|sparker|level2|1
4|Matt Jones|Dir|mjones|level3|2
5|Doug Blanc|Dir|dblanc|level3|2
6|Jay Lawson|Dir|jlawson|level3|3
7|Lance Roberts|Dir|lroberts|level3|3
============================
2) Create Parent-Child hierarchy on MgrKey with its Usage = Parent
2a)set ValueColumn of Login_ID attribute to EmpKey.
2b) Also set ValueColumn of MgrKey attribute to Login_ID. Rename Parent-child hierarchy to Employees
3) Create Security Role and configure Dimension data security.
In the allowed member set write the below MDX statement.
{ StrToMember( "[Employee].[Employees].&[" + CStr(StrToMember("[Employee].[Login ID].&[" + UserName( ) + "]").MEMBERVALUE) + "]"), StrToMember( "[Employee].[Employees].&["
+ CStr(StrToMember("[Employee].[Login ID].&[" + UserName( ) + "]").MEMBERVALUE) + "]").SIBLINGS }
Expected Result:
Using Siblings function - Ideally if Steve Parker connects to SSAS Cube then he should see his totals, only his subordinate totals, only his Peer's totals(not their subordinates) and his manager's totals.
Actual Result:
Due to above Dimension Security configuration, if Steve Parker connects to SSAS Cube then he will see his totals, his subordinate totals and his manager's totals. However due to Siblings function "Steve Parker" is also able to see
Rick Peters's subordinate details.
Query: Is there a way to achieve the Expected Result by restricting the children of Siblings?

How to get security roles in a JSF portlet

I need to get the LDAP user-roles available in the Sun Portal Server 7 in my JSF-168 portlet.
I've added the mapping file, updated the portlet.xml and web.xml, deployed the portlet (psconsole). But the portlet shows the "content not available" error with javax....title title.
I've probably messed up the descriptors, but I don't see what is wrong. Here they are:

CRM 2011: Can you control which form is used based not security roles, but on a field value?

I see that you can control which form is used based on security roles, but can you control it based on other field values? I'd like a new record to use a different form until a given status is updated. I have a status of draft and active. So
it would be nice if I could use form1 for those in draft, form2 for those that are active. But I only see where you can control that via the security roles.
I can code all of this via JavaScript, but having the ability to use two separate forms would be nice. Is that even possible.
Best regards,

How to use security roles in Weblogic server?

Hello Gurus,
I am new to Weblogic server and I am trying to investigate how to make
use of security roles in weblogic server (5.1.0). Can anyone point me
to some documentation. Specifically, I am looking for instance level,
and method level security and how to use it.
Thanks for taking your time to read this e-mail.
Thank You all in advance,
Hari.

You should read the security information in the Servlet 2.2 specification
that WL 5.1 implements:
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html
Chapter 11 deals with declarative and programmatic security, and includes a
section on roles:
11.4 Roles
A role is an abstract logical grouping of users that is defined by the
Application Developer or
Assembler. When the application is deployed, these roles are mapped by a
Deployer to security
identities, such as principals or groups, in the runtime environment.
A servlet container enforces declarative or programmatic security for the
principal associated with
an incoming request based on the security attributes of that calling
principal. For example,
1. When a deployer has mapped a security role to a user group in the
operational environment. The
user group to which the calling principal belongs is retrieved from its
security attributes. If the
principal's user group matches the user group in the operational environment
that the security
role has been mapped to, the principal is in the security role.
2. When a deployer has mapped a security role to a principal name in a
security policy domain, the
principal name of the calling principal is retrieved from its security
attributes. If the principal is
the same as the principal to which the security role was mapped, the calling
principal is in the
security role.

How to get security roles

Hi All,
I want to know how to get the security roles which we configured in adfsecurity.
Regards,
Smaran

Hi,
to get all roles associated with the current user, try
SecurityContext secCtx = ADFContext.getCurrent().getSecurityContext();
String[] roles = secCtx.getUserRoles();
To get access to the roles defined on the system (not user specific) then this requires OPSS access. The JavaDocs are here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/apirefs.1111/e10686/toc.htm
From the top of my head. this is how get access to the JPS context to query system resources.
JpsContextFactory jpsfact = JpsContextFactory.getContextFactory();
JpsContext jpxCtx = jpdfact.getContext();
IdentityStoreService store = jpxCtx.getServiceInstance(IdentityStoreService.class);
... from here on I have no further hint without trying it myself. However, I hope I go you started

Map security roles to group within LDAP using external 3rd Party LDAP

I'm haveing a problem mapping my logical role defined in my web.xml to a role within Active Directory. I'm currently authenticating using Active Directory succsfully, however after the user is authenticated I get a message from the OC4J container that my role can not be found. Can you map a logical role to group within Active Directory? Below are details about my configuration.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<security-role-mapping name="WEBTA_J2EE_USER">
<group name="webta"/> <-- Group defined in AD -->
</security-role-mapping>

What is the name of the group in AD (provide the DN) that you want to map the j2ee logical role WEBTA_J2EE_USER? What are the group search base and group mapping attribute?
When wmgraham logs into the app, the 3rd party ldap login module will attempt to query for the groups wmgraham is a member of - this is done using the group search base configuration for the provider.
In this example, the DN is "cn=wmgraham,ou=endusers,ou=itod,ou=endusers,ou=div20,ou=hq,dc=fbinet,dc=fbi" and likely user search base is set to "ou=endusers,ou=itod,ou=endusers,ou=div20,ou=hq,dc=fbinet,dc=fbi".
Assuming group search base is (say) "ou=groups,ou=itod,ou=endusers,ou=div20,ou=hq,dc=fbinet,dc=fbi" and and group mapping attr is "cn", then the role mapping you mention should work for group DN "cn=webta,ou=groups,ou=itod,ou=endusers,ou=div20,ou=hq,dc=fbinet,dc=fbi"

Hi Malathy,
Once the users are created in Authentication Provider, and once the roles are created in Weblogic Server, You just have to map users to roles in Jazn-data.xml.
Could you please let us know you created a roles named users in WLS ?
Thanks & Regards,
Murali.

Unable to assign all security roles to a user with a new custom security role

Dear All,
Happy New Year.!
I have a query regarding the assignment of Security Roles to new users in CRM. Normally we assign the security roles to new users via an Admin user who has 'System Administrator' security role assigned to him/her. This works perfectly fine, and we can assign
any desired security role to the new user.
However, in our case, we need to delegate the user creation rights to some of the client partners. We do not want to give them access to all the Administration functions; hence we created a new Security Role, lets say 'Support User Role'. We have provided
'Create', 'Append', 'Append To', and 'Assign' rights on 'User' entity for this new security role. With this security role, we are able to create new users now, but we are only able to assign 'Agent' security role, not any other security roles.
For example, if user 'x' has Security Role defined as 'Support User Role'. If 'x' tries to add a new user 'y', then 'x' is only able to assign 'Agent' security role to 'y', but not any other security role. As per business requirement, 'x' should be able
to assign some other security roles, including 'Support User Role', to new user 'y'.
I believe that there is something missing in Security Role configuration, which is causing the above problem. We compared both 'Support User Role' and 'System Administrator' security roles, but not able to figure out which minimum rights we can provide to
'Support User Role' so that users with this security role can only add new users (with any security role), and that they are not having access on any other Administration features as well.
Appreciate any help that you can provide on the above issue.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi,
Can you check if you have organization level Read access for Securitity Role and Organization level Assign access for Security role.
Refer:-

Hope this helps!!!

Need api for changing security role in web.xml !!

My requirement is to change the value of the deployment descriptor "security-role" (in web.xml) through an api and inturn to persist the new value in web.xml. Also I need to know if this change is automatically redeployed or an explicit redeployment is needed ? In that case how do I redeploy using an api call ?
I found a lot of apis related to roles like createRole, removeRole etc.. But there are no apis to change the name of the role and inturn persist in web.xml.
Do I need to provide any more information ? Let me know
Thanks,
Karthick

why and when do you change security-role? try to use ant task (perhaph you need xpath also). itÂ´s the better when you perform task about lifeÂ´s cycle of application.
please, describe your problem.
of course in you change web.xml you must restart the application.

Security-role and security-role-assignment not working in WL7.0

Hello all..
Some EJB components that worked fine in WebLogic 6.1 no longer work in
WL7.0. It has to do with the security-role and security-role-assignment
descriptor elements no longer allowing anonymous users to be included in the
authorization for a bean.
For example, in WL6.1 placing these items in ejb-jar.xml:
<assembly-descriptor>
<security-role>
<role-name>Employees</role-name>
</security-role>
<method-permission>
<role-name>Employees</role-name>
<method>
<ejb-name>CustomerEJB</ejb-name>
<method-name>*</method-name>
</method>
</method-permission>
and mapping WebLogic default users to this role in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml:
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>Employees</role-name>
<principal-name>guest</principal-name>
<principal-name>system</principal-name>
</security-role-assignment>
worked fine for clients creating their context using a simple
InitialContext() constructor without specifying SECURITY_PRINCIPAL or
SECURITY_CREDENTIALS. These users were basically "guest" to WebLogic, and
the security-role-assignment element above told WebLogic that "guest" was in
the Employees role for purposes of this EJB archive.
Worked in WL6.1, no longer works in WL7.0. Client receives typical
permission exception:
java.rmi.AccessException: Security violation: insufficient permission to
access method 'create'
If I explicity connect as "system" things are fine, or I can create a new
user in the default realm in WebLogic, put a matching <principal-name>
element in the section above, and connect as that user. Note that if I leave
off the <security-role> section completely, or set the required role name to
"everyone", the anonymous access works fine. Apparently the anonymous user
is a member of "everyone" behind the scenes even though "everyone" does not
appear in the realm list of groups or roles.
So, my question boils down to this: Is there a "magic" username in WL7 like
"guest" was in WL6.1 that can be mapped to the required role name, or must
every client connection use a true weblogic-created user with appropriate
role assignments used to map it to the required role name.

P.S. Note that none of the EJB examples provided with WL used
<security-role>..

How can I limit/control the addition of auth. objects to security roles?

Checking the authorization object S_USER_VAL it seemed that it grants the ability to limit the addition of authorization objects, but I tried using a test ID in sandbox along with a test role, removing the object, creating ranges in order to limit to a certaing type of auth. objects and didn't work. S_USER_AGR will give me access to limit which type of roles I can modify, but I'm looking to restrict the addition of specific security objects to security roles. If anyone knows the answer to this please share! Thanks in advance for your help!!!!

Hi Armando,
Try with auth.obj. S_USER_AUT. A suggestion. Search this objects with tcode SU24, for instance, for tcode PFCG and it gives a list with objects.
I hope this helps you

Problem mapping LoginModule roles to ejb security roles

I have "successfully" managed to implement the DBSystemLoginModule. When I run my application I successfully authenticate to the database, the login module successfully retrieves the users roles from the database and adds them to the subject:
PassiveCallbackHandler cbh = new PassiveCallbackHandler(username, password);
LoginContext lc = new LoginContext("current-workspace-app", cbh);
lc.login();
I then perform a lookup on a bean using the same user:
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "oracle.j2ee.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory");
env.put("java.naming.security.principal",username);
env.put("java.naming.security.credentials",password);
env.put("java.naming.provider.url", "ormi://localhost:23891/current-workspace-app");
Context ic = new InitialContext(env);
final SessionEJBHome sessionEJBHome =
(SessionEJBHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow( ic.lookup( "SessionEJB" ), SessionEJBHome.class );
Finally, I create an instance of the bean and call a method of this bean.
SessionEJB sessionEJB;
sessionEJB = sessionEJBHome.create( );
sessionEJB.testMe( );
I am expecting (hoping) that the roles retrieved from the database by the login module may be used to authenticate the ejb methods. i.e. if (in ejb-jar.xml) the method "testMe" has a method-permission with role-name of "ABC" then this method may only be accessed if the user is a member of the "ABC" role retrieved from the database by the login module. However I get the message:
"username is not allowed to call this EJB method"
When I add a security-role-mapping in orion-ejb-jar.xml mapping the role "ABC" to the group "ABC" (and impliesALL="true") then the method is called successfully. However, if I add a security-role-mapping mapping the role "DEF" to the group "DEF" (which the user is not a member of) the ejb method is (wrongly) called successfully (with implies all="false" the method always fails). In other words there seems to be no mapping of the roles retrieved by the login module to the ejb security roles.
Can anyone please enlighten me on how I can achieve the mapping of the ejb security roles to the roles obtained from the login module.
Thanks
PS I have this problem with JDeveloper 10.1.3 (Developer Preview 10.1.3.0.2.223 and Early Access 10.1.3.0.3.3412)

Hi Sebastian,
yes, it is possible to do such mapping. And here how it works:
1. define security roles in the ejb-jar.xml within the <security-role>. For example:
<security-role>
     <role-name>test</role-name>
</security-role>
2. then you map the roles those roles to server security roles using the <security-role-map> tag of the ejb-j2ee-engine.xml descriptor.
<security-permission>
   <security-role-map>
      <role-name>test</role-name>
      <server-role-name>myUMErole</server-role-name>
   </security-role-map>
</security-permission>
the myUMErole must be defined in the UME!

Hierarchy format in Flat file

Hi gurus,
      please tellme the Hierarchy format in Flat file.
           ThanQ.
   Regards,
   Ramesh.

Hi
1.Defining the source system from which you want to load data:
Create For a flat file, choose: File System, Manual Metadata; Data via File Interface.
2.Defining the InfoSource for which you want to load data:
Create Application Component.
Create InfoSource , Direct Update
Choose an InfoObject from the proposal list, and specify a name and a description.
3.Assigning the source system to the InfoSource
Assign Source System. You are taken automatically to the transfer structure maintenance.
The system automatically generates DataSources for the three different data types to which you can load data.
Attributes, Texts,Hierarchies (if the InfoObject has access to hierarchies)
The system automatically generates the transfer structure, the transfer rules, and the communication structure (for attributes and texts).
4.      Maintaining the transfer structure / transfer rules
Choose the DataSource to be able to upload hierarchies.
Idoc transfer method: The system automatically generates a proposal for the DataSource and the transfer structure. This consists of an entry for the InfoObject, for which hierarchies are loaded. With this transfer method, during loading, the structure is converted to the structure of the PSA, which affects performance.
PSA transfer method: The transfer methods and the communication structure are also generated here.
5.      Maintaining the hierarchy:
Choose Hierarchy Maintenance, and specify a technical name and a description of the hierarchy.
PSA Transfer Method: You have the option here to set the Remove Leaf Value and Node InfoObjects indicator. As a result, characteristic values are not transferred into the hierarchy fields NODENAME, LEAFFROM and LEAFTO as is normally the case, but in their own transfer structure fields. This option allows you to load characteristic values having a length greater than 32 characters.
Characteristic values with a length > 32 can be loaded into the PSA, but they cannot be updated in characteristics that have a length >32.
The node names for pure text nodes remain restricted to 32 characters in the hierarchy (0HIER_NODE characteristic).
The system automatically generates a table with the following hierarchy format (for sorted hierarchies without removed leaf values and node InfoObjects):
The system transfers the settings for the intervals and for time-dependency from the InfoObject maintenance. Depending on which settings you have defined in the InfoObject maintenance, further table fields can be generated from the system.
The valid from and valid to field is filled if you select Total Hierarchy Time-dependent in the InfoObject maintenance. The time-dependent indicator is activated if you select the Hierarchy Nodes Time-dependent option in the InfoObject maintenance.
6.      Save your entries.
Depending on which settings you defined in the InfoObject maintenance, additional fields can be generated from the system. Also note the detailed description for Structure of a Flat Hierarchy File for Loading via an IDoc and for Structure of a Flat Hierarchy File for Loading via a PSA.
Further Steps:
Maintaining InfoPackages
Result
You have uploaded the hierarchy data for the corresponding characteristic.

How can I know the security role of the logged in user

When you design an enterprise bean or Web component, you should always think about the kinds of users who will access the component. For example, an Account enterprise bean might be accessed by customers, bank tellers, and branch managers. Each of these user categories is called a security role, an abstract logical grouping of users that is defined by the person who assembles the application. When an application is deployed, the deployer will map the roles to security identities in the operational environment.
But wondering when I log into my application with some user name and password (specified in my Oracle database),wondering how this works with the security role I created .How does J2EE know the security role of the logged in user.
Thanks
Manohar

role at run time.
When I login say as "manju" and password as "money" then how does it know that this user belongs to this security role.Is that the j2ee administrator has to say that user manju has this this security role.Programmitically how does it really work.I am confusedThe j2ee implementation assigns the roles using the JAAS module you have configured for your application on your application server. different JAAS modules get roles in different ways. many allow a single static role to be assigned using a config file. if using a database, often there will be configuration to specify additional database fields which specify the role for a given username.
At runtime, a developer can test roles using methods like EJBContext.isCallerInRole().
