  • Implementing logout. Single Sing Off

    Hi I have developed an application using SSO.
    These are the steps I followed:
    1.     In the Orion-application.xml:
    <jazn provider="LDAP" location="ldap://hn-apli-dev.bcie.org:389" default-realm="jazn.com">
    <jazn-web-app auth-method="SSO"/>
    </jazn>
    2.     In the web.xml
    …….
    <login-config>
    <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
    <realm-name>jazn.com</realm-name>
    </login-config>
    …….
    <security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
    <web-resource-name>appName</web-resource-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
    …….
    The login works OK but I can’t implement the Single Sing Off .
    I tried using this code
    // Set the return URL
    response.setHeader("Osso-Return-Url", "http://my.oracle.com" );
    // Send Dynamic Directive for logout
    response.sendError(470, "Oracle SSO");
    But it works just for applications defined as Partner Applications.
    What else should I do?

    Seems like you are using mod_osso for enabling Single Sign-On to your applications. In this case, you do not have to register individual applications to the Single Sign-On server as a partner applications. Mod_osso registration should be sufficient and login/logout will work fine.
    However, if you are creating application session and using that to show application content then logout will not work correctly. This is because single sign-off will not remove those JSESSION cookies (since they are application specific). To ensure that these application sessions can not be reused when user logs out, implement the application security logic as documented developer's guide.

  • How to single sing on a user between different applications ?

    Hello,
    I have developped 7 applications within the same workspace. They use an authentification schema with an authentification functiuon "acl_custom_auth", I followed very much the examples in the APEX documentation. The user are stored in the table ACL_EMPLOYEES and their right on the table APEX_ACCESS_CONTROL. All this is working nicely.
    Each applications use a two-level tabs, the parent tabs are used to go from one to another application.
    For example one parent tab would contain this URL as target : f?p=110:1:&SESSION.:
    Another one this target : f?p=114:1:&SESSION.:
    And so on. With this user can go easily from one application to another.
    I would like that if a user is identified on an application, that it may be possible for him to go to another application and to remains identified. The password should not be passed as the URL because, it would be visible.
    Do you have any suggestion ?
    Thank you for your kind help !
    Christian

    Hi,
    You can use SSO to do itl. John Scott's book - Pro Oracle Application Express has some good info on SSO, and some examples of how to do what you are trying. I haven't tried it yet, but it's on my list of things to do.
    You could also use cookies. http://dba-oracle.com/t_easy_html_db_owa_cookie.htm
    The authentication method would check for the existance of a cookie and either pass security or prompt. To make it easier you could use one application purely for authentication and all of the others check for the existance of the cookie.
    Need to make sure you remove the cookie as well though!

  • Re: single log-on (SSO) using Windows 2000 and Active Directory

    Hi Honggo,
    Its possible to see all the Active Directory users in WLS6.1 by
    configuring the ldap realm.
    You can use any of the username/password in ldap but you still have to
    login again.
    However the concept of single sign on across operating system and WLS
    might not work in WLS6.1. WLS 7.0 allows you to write code that
    supports these kind of things better.

  • Does Single Sign on feature affect the eCATT test script

    Hi
    I am having problem with eCATT test scripts when running on the PC with single sign on feature .
    I am able to run the eCATT test script on PC with out single on feature .when I am trying to run the same eCATT script on the PC with single sign on feature it gives error message
    When the test script is executed it open up new session and tries to log on system and then it comes out of the Session  and gives the error message.
    Error When starting replay session Possible causes
    1) Scripting is deactivated in Replay system .
    2)User has not logged on with in given time or user has no Dailog rights .
    3) Too Many Sessions are open.
    Can you please Suggest me how to overcome this problem .
    The PC with single sign on feature is using SAP GUI 7.1 Version and the PC with out single sign on feature is using SAP GUI 7.2 Version . Will this affect the test script.
    Thanking you .
    Regards
    Kiran

    Hi
    The issue is resolved . Once the single sing on program is disabled on the machine the eCATT test scripts are working fine now .
    Thank you .

  • Partner Application in SSO logout does'nt synchronize

    Hi All,
    I've setup two separate application on different workspace and different server as partner Application. I've follow the instruction from http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/sso_partner_app.html
    . And everything working fine, but the "logout" seen doesn't work correctly.
    Example: I'm login to Application "A" from single sign on homepage, after enter username and password, it direct me to Application "A". After that, i've click on Application "B" which also located on single sign on homepage and direct me to application "B" (that's correct). When I clicked on the "logout" link in Application "A" it work fine, but the other Application (B) doesn't log me out. I can do the normal work on Application "B" even the Application "A" already logout.

    Hi Scott,
    Thank you for your reply. I've read the two link above and I don't figure out how to resolve my problem yet. From the link: Logout URL for 9iAS SSO Partner App
    you said:
    Steve - Here's a logout URL that unsets the app's session cookie first, then goes to Single Sign-off, then back to a public page in the app:
    https://host:port/pls/DAD/wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.logout_then_go_to_url?p_args=&APP_ID.:https://login.yourlogin.com/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_logout?p_done_url=https://host:port/pls/DAD/f?p=&APP_ID.:PUBLIC_PAGECan set the authentication schema logout URL of application "A" something like: unsets app's session cookies first, then goes to Single Sing-off, then goes to Application "B" sign-off, and then back to a public page in the app. That way will be logout the Application "A", logout the Single Sign-On, and logout the Application "B" when i click on the "logout" link from Application "A". Am I correct?
    The other question is how can i get the SSO cookie. I've used the owa_cookie.get('cookie_name') function, but it doesn't work for SSO.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Add Partner application to OSSO

    Hi,
    I am using OracleAS Single Sign-On. I have my application (UCM) having the url "http://host/ucm". I want to register UCM as partner application with my OracleAS Single Sign-on. I logged in to the SSO Sever and on the UI, I selected the link "Add Partnet Application".
    On this page opens to register an partner application. Here the pages asks for three urls "Home URL", "Success URL" and "Logout URL".
    Can some one please tell me what should I specify for all these urls? My Single Sing-on server and my application (UCM) resides on separate servers.

    PURPOSE
    This document explains how to copy a Portal database schema from a database to another database.
    It allows restoring the Portal repository and the OID security associated with Portal.
    It can be used to go in production by copying physically a database from a development portal to a production environment and avoid to use the export/import utilities of Portal.
    This note:
    uses the export/import on the database level
    allows the export/import to be done between different platforms
    The script are Unix based and for the BASH shell. They can be adapted for other platforms.
    For the persons familiar with this technics in Portal 9.0.2, there is a list of the main differences with Portal 9.0.2 at the end of the note.
    These scripts are based on the experience of a lot of persons in Portal 902.
    The scripts are attached to the note. Download them here: Attachment 276688.1:1 : exp_schema_904.zip
    A new version of the script was written in Perl. You can also download them, here: Attachment 276688.1:2 : exp_schema_904_v2.zip. They do exactly the same than the bash ones. But they have the advantage of working on all platforms.
    SCOPE & APPLICATION
    This document is intented for Portal administrators. For using this note, you need basic DBA skills.
    This notes is for Portal 9.0.4.x only. The notes for Portal 9.0.2 are :
    Note 228516.1 : How to copy (export/import) Portal database schemas of IAS 9.0.2 to another database
    Note 217187.1 : How to restore a cold backup of a Portal IAS 9.0.2 on another machine
    The note for Portal 10.1.2 is:
    Note 330391.1 : How to copy (export/import) Portal database schemas of IAS 10.1.2 to another databaseMethod
    The method that we will follow in the document is the following one:
    Export:
    - export of the 4 portal schemas of a database (DEV / development)
    - export the LDAP OID users and groups (optional)
    Install a new machine with fresh IAS installation (PROD / production)
    Import:
    - delete the new and empty portal schema on PROD
    - import the schemas in the production database in place of the deleted schemas
    - import the LDAP OID users and groups (optional)
    - modify the configuration such that the infrastructure uses the portal repository of the backup
    - modify the configuration such that the portal repository uses the OID, webcache and SSO of the new infrastructure
    The export and the import are divided in several steps. All of these steps are included in 2 sample scripts:
    export : exp_portal_schema.sh
    import : imp_portal_schema.sh
    In the 2 scripts, all the steps are runned in one shot. It is just an example. Depending of the configuration and circonstance, all the steps can be runned independently.
    Convention
    Development (DEV) is the name of the machine where resides the copied database
    Production (PROD) is the name of the machine where the database is copied
    Prerequisite
    Some prerequisite first.
    A. Environment variables
    To run the import/export, you will need 3 environment variables. In the given scripts, they are defined in 'portal_env.sh'
    SYS_PASSWORD - the password of user sys in the Portal database
    IAS_PASSWORD - the password of IAS
    ORACLE_HOME - the ORACLE_HOME of the midtier
    The rest of the settings are found automatically by reading the iasconfig.xml file and querying the OID. It is done in 'portal_automatic_env.sh'. I wish to write a note on iasconfig.xml and the way to transform it in usefull environment variables. But it is not done yet. In the meanwhile, you can read the old 902 doc, that explains the meaning of most variables :
    < Note 223438.1 : Shell script to find your portal passwords, settings and place them in environment variables on Unix >
    B. Definition: Cutter database
    A 'Cutter Database' is the term used to designate a Database created by RepCA or OUI and that contains all the schemas used by a IAS 9.0.4 infrastructure. Even if in most cases, several schemas are not used.
    In Portal 9.0.4, the option to install only the portal repository in an empty database has been removed. It has been replaced by RepCA, a tool that creates an infrastructure database. Inside all the infrastucture database schemas, there are the portal schemas.
    This does not stop people to use 2 databases for running portal. One for OID and one for Portal. But in comparison with Portal 9.0.2, all schemas exist in both databases even if some are not used.
    The main idea of Cutter database is to have only 1 database type. And in the future, simplify the upgrades of customer installation
    For an installation where Portal and OID/SSO are in 2 separate databases, it looks like this
    Portal 9.0.2 Portal 9.0.4
    Infrastructure database
    (INFRA_SID)
    The infrastructure contains:
    - OID (used)
    - OEM (used)
    - Single Sign-on / orasso (used)
    - Portal (not used)
    The infrastructure contains:
    - OID (used)
    - OEM (used)
    - Single Sign-on / orasso (used)
    - Portal (not used)
    Portal database
    (PORTAL_SID)
    The custom Portal database contains:
    - Portal (used)
    The custom Portal database (is also an infrastructure):
    - OID (not used)
    - OEM (not used)
    - Single Sign-on / orasso (not used)
    - Portal (used)
    Whatever, the note will suppose there is only one single database. But it works also for 2 databases installation like the one explained above.
    C. Directory structure.
    The sample scripts given inside this note will be explained in the next paragraphs. But first, the scripts are done to use a directory structure that helps to classify the files.
    Here is a list of important files used during the process of export/import:
    File Name
    Description
    exp_portal_schema.sh
    Sample script that exports all the data needed from a development machine
    imp_portal_schema.sh
    Sample script that import all the data into a production machine
    portal_env.sh
    Script that defines the env variable specific to your system (to configure)
    portal_automatic_env.sh
    Helper script to get all the rest of the Portal settings automatically
    xsl
    Directory containing all the XSL files (helper scripts)
    del_authpassword.xsl
    Helper script to remove the authpassword tags in the DSML files
    portal_env_unix.sql
    Helper script to get Portal settings from the iasconfig.xml file
    exp_data
    Directory containing all the exported data
    portal_exp.dmp
    export on the database level of the portal, portal_app, ... database schemas
    iasconfig.xml
    copy the name of iasconfig.xml of the midtier of DEV. Used to get the hostname and port of Webcache
    portal_users.xml
    export from LDAP of the OID users used by Portal (optional)
    portal_groups.xml export from LDAP of the OID groups used by Portal (optional)
    imp_log
    Directory containing several spool and logs files generated during the import
    import.log Log file generated when running the imp command
    ptlconfig.log
    Log generated by ptlconfig when rewiring portal to the infrastructure.
    Some other spool files.
    D. Known limitations
    The scripts given in this note have the following known limitations:
    It does not copy the data stored in the SSO schema: external applications definitions and the passwords stored for them.
    See in the post steps: SSO migration to know how to do.
    The ssomig command resides in the Infrastructure Oracle home. And all commands of Portal in the Midtier home. And practically, these 2 Oracle homes are most of the time not on the same machine. This is the reason.
    The export of the users in OID exports from the default user location:
    ldapsearch .... -b "cn=users,dc=domain,dc=com"
    This is not 100% correct. The users are by default stored in something like "cn=users,dc=domain,dc=com". So, if the users are stored in the default location, it works. But if this location (user install base) is customized, it does not work.
    The reason is that such settings means that the LDAP most of the time highly customized. And I prefer that the administrator to copy the real LDAP himself. The right command will probably depend of the customer case. So, I prefered not to take the risk..
    orclCommonNicknameAttribute must match in the Target and Source OID .
    The orclCommonNicknameAttribute must match on both the source and target OID. By default this attribute is set to "uid", so if this has been changed, it must be changed in both systems.
    Reference Note 282698.1
    Migration of custom Java portlets.
    The script migrates all the data of Portal stored in the database. If you have custom java portlet deployed in your development machine, you will need to copy them in the production system.
    Step 1 - Export in Development (DEV)
    To export a full Portal installation to another machine, you need to follow 3 steps:
    Export at the database level the portal schemas + related schemas
    Get the midtier hostname and port of DEV
    Export of the users and groups with LDAPSEARCH in 2 XML files
    A script combining all the steps is available here.
    A. Export the 4 portals schemas (DEV)
    You need to export 3 types of database schemas:
    The 4 portal schemas created by default by the portal installation :
    portal,
    portal_app,
    portal_demo,
    portal_public
    The schemas where your custom database portlets / providers resides (if any)
    - The custom schemas you have created for storing your portlet / provider code
    The schemas where your custom tables resides. (if any)
    - Your custom schemas accessed by portal and containing only data (tables, views ...)
    You can get an approximate list of the schemas: default portal schemas (1) and database portlets schemas (2) with this query.
    SELECT USERNAME, DEFAULT_TABLESPACE, TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE
    FROM DBA_USERS
    WHERE USERNAME IN (user, user||'_PUBLIC', user||'_DEMO', user||'_APP')
    OR USERNAME IN (SELECT DISTINCT OWNER FROM WWAPP_APPLICATION$ WHERE NAME != 'WWV_SYSTEM');
    It still misses your custom schemas containing data only (3).
    We will export the 4 schemas and your custom ones in an export file with the user sys.
    Please, use a command like this one
    exp userid="'sys/change_on_install@dev as sysdba'" file=portal_exp.dmp grants=y log=portal_exp.log owner=(portal,portal_app,portal_demo,portal_public)The result is a dump file: 'portal_exp.dmp'. If you are using a database 9.2.0.5 or 10.1.0.2, the database of the exp/imp dump file has changed. Please read this.
    B. Hostname and port
    For the URL to access the portal, you need the 2 following infos to run the script 'imp_portal_schema.sh below :
    Webcache hostname
    Webcache listen port
    These values are contained in the iasconfig.xml file of the midtier.
    iasconfig.xml
    <IASConfig XSDVersion="1.0">
    <IASInstance Name="ias904.dev.dev_domain.com" Host="dev.dev_domain.com" Version="9.0.4">
    <OIDComponent AdminPassword="@BfgIaXrX1jYsifcgEhwxciglM+pXod0dNw==" AdminDN="cn=orcladmin" SSLEnabled="false" LDAPPort="3060"/>
    <WebCacheComponent AdminPort="4037" ListenPort="7782" InvalidationPort="4038" InvalidationUsername="invalidator" InvalidationPassword="@BR9LXXoXbvW1iH/IEFb2rqBrxSu11LuSdg==" SSLEnabled="false"/>
    <EMComponent ConsoleHTTPPort="1813" SSLEnabled="false"/>
    </IASInstance>
    <PortalInstance DADLocation="/pls/portal" SchemaUsername="portal" SchemaPassword="@BR9LXXoXbvW1c5ZkK8t3KJJivRb0Uus9og==" ConnectString="cn=asdb,cn=oraclecontext">
    <WebCacheDependency ContainerType="IASInstance" Name="ias904.dev.dev_domain.com"/>
    <OIDDependency ContainerType="IASInstance" Name="ias904.dev.dev_domain.com"/>
    <EMDependency ContainerType="IASInstance" Name="ias904.dev.dev_domain.com"/>
    </PortalInstance>
    </IASConfig>
    It corresponds to a portal URL like this:
    http://dev.dev_domain.com:7782/pls/portalThe script exp_portal_schema.sh copy the iasconfig.xml file in the exp_data directory.
    C. Export the security: users and groups (optional)
    If you use other Single Sing-On uses than the portal user, you probably need to restore the full security, the users and groups stored in OID on the production machine. 5 steps need to be executed for this operation:
    Export the OID entries with LDAPSEARCH
    Before to import, change the domain in the generated file (optional)
    Before to import, remove the 'authpassword' attributes from the generated files
    Import them with LDAPADD
    Update the GUID/DN of the groups in portal tables
    Part 1 - LDAPSEARCH
    The typical commands to do this operation look like this:
    ldapsearch -h $OID_HOSTNAME -p $OID_PORT -X -b "cn=portal.040127.1384,cn=groups,dc=dev_domain,dc=com" -s sub "objectclass=*" > portal_group.xml
    ldapsearch -h $OID_HOSTNAME -p $OID_PORT -X -D "cn=orcladmin" -w $IAS_PASSWORD -b "cn=users,dc=dev_domain,dc=com" -s sub "objectclass=inetorgperson" > portal_users.xmlTake care about the following points
    The groups are stored in a LDAP directory containing the date of installation
    ( in this example: portal.040127.1384,cn=groups,dc=dev_domain,dc=com )
    If the domain of dev and prod is different, the exported files contains the name of the development domain in the form of 'dc=dev_domain,dc=com' in a lot of place. The domain name needs to be replaced by the production domain name everywhere in the files.
    Ldapsearch uses the option '- X '. It it to export to DSML files (XML). It avoids a problem related with common LDAP files, LDIF files. LDIF files are wrapped at 78 characters. The wrapping to 78 characters make difficult to change the domain name contained in the LDIF files. XML files are not wrapped and do not have this problem.
    A sample script to export the 2 XML files is given here in : step 3 - export the users and groups (optional) of the export script.
    Part 2 : change the domain in the DSML files
    If the domain of dev and prod is different, the exported files contains the name of the development domain in the form of 'dc=dev_domain,dc=com' in a lot of place. The domain name need to be replaced by the production domain name everywhere in the files.
    To do this, we can use these commands:
    cat exp_data/portal_groups.xml | sed -e "s/$DEV_DN/$PROD_DN/" > imp_log/portal_groups.xml
    cat exp_data/portal_users.xml | sed -e "s/$DEV_DN/$PROD_DN/" > imp_log/temp_users.xml
    Part 3 : Remove the authpassword attribute
    The export of all attributes from the all users has also exported an automatically generated attribute in OID called 'authpassword'.
    'authpassword' is a list automatically generated passwords for several types of application. But mostly, it can not be imported. Also, there is no option in ldapsearch (that I know) that allows removing an attribute. In place of giving to the ldapsearch command the list of all the attributes that is very long, without 'authpassword', we will remove the attribute after the export.
    For that we will use the fact that the DSML files are XML files. There is a XSLT in the Oracle IAS, in the executable '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/xml'. XSLT is a standard specification of the internet consortium W3C to transform a XML file with the help of a XSL file.
    Here is the XSL file to remove the authpassword tag.
    del_autpassword.xsl
    <!--
    File : del_authpassword.xsl
    Version : 1.0
    Author : mgueury
    Description:
    Remove the authpassword from the DSML files
    -->
    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xml:output method="xml"/>
    <xsl:template match="*|@*|node()">
    <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="*|@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="attr">
    <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="@name='authpassword;oid'">
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test="@name='authpassword;orclcommonpwd'">
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
    <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="*|@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:template>
    </xsl:stylesheet>
    And the command to make the transfomation:
    xml -f -s del_authpassword.xsl -o imp_log/portal_users.xml imp_log/temp_users.xmlWhere :
    imp_log/portal_users.xml is the final file without authpassword tags
    imp_log/temp_users.xml is the input file with the authpassword tags that can not be imported.
    Part 4 : LDAPADD
    The typical commands to do this operation look like this:
    ldapadd -h $OID_HOSTNAME -p $OID_PORT -D "cn=orcladmin" -w $IAS_PASSWORD -c -X portal_group.xml
    ldapadd -h $OID_HOSTNAME -p $OID_PORT -D "cn=orcladmin" -w $IAS_PASSWORD -c -X portal_users.xmlTake care about the following points
    Ldapadd uses the option ' -c '. Existing users/groups are generating an error. The option -c allows continuing and ignoring these errors. Whatever, the errors should be checked to see if it is just existing entries.
    A sample script to import the 2 XML files given in the step 5 - import the users and groups (optional) of the import script.
    Part 5 : Update the GUID/DN
    In Portal 9.0.4, the update of the GUID is taken care by PTLCONFIG during the import. (Import step 7)
    D. Example script for export
    Here is a example script that combines the 3 steps.
    Depending of you need, you will :
    or execute all the steps
    or just execute the 1rst one (export of the database users). It will be enough you just want to login with the portal user on the production instance.
    if your portal repository resides in a database 9.2.0.5 or 10.1.0.2, please read this
    you can download all the scripts here, Attachment 276688.1:1
    Do not forget to modify the script to your need and mostly add the list of users like explained in point A above.

    The script is done to run from the midtier.
    Step 2 - Install IAS in a new machine (PROD)
    A. Installation
    This note does not distinguish if Portal is sharing the same database than Single-Sign On and OID. For simplicity, I will speak only about 1 database. But I could also create a second infrastructure database just for the portal repository. This way is better for production system, because the Portal repository is only product used in the 2nd database. Having 2 separate databases allows taking easily backup of the portal repository.
    On the production machine, you need to install a fresh install of IAS 9.0.4. Take care to use :
    the same IAS patchset 9.0.4.1, 9.0.4.2, ...on the middle-tier and infrastruture than in development
    and same characterset than in development (or UTF8)
    The result will be 2 ORACLE_HOMES and 1 infrastructure database:
    the ORACLE_HOME of the infrastructure (SID:infra904)
    the ORACLE_HOME of the midtier (SID:ias904)
    an infrastructure database (SID:asdb)
    The empty new Portal install should work fine before to go to the next step.
    B. About tablespaces (optional)
    The size of the tablespace of the production should match the one of the Developement machine. If not, the tablespace will autoextend. It is not really a concern, but it is slow. You should modify the tablespaces for to have as much space on prod and dev.
    Also, it is safer to check that there is enough free space on the hard disk to import in the database.
    To modify the tablespace size, you can use Oracle Entreprise Manager console,
    On Unix, . oraenv
    infra904oemapp dbastudio
    On NT Start/ Programs/ Oracle Application server - infra904 / Enterprise Manager Console
    Launch standalone
    Choose the portal database (typically asdb.domain.com)
    Connect with a DBA user, sys or system
    Click Storage/Tablespaces
    Change the size of the PORTAL, PORTAL_DOC, PORTAL_LOGS, PORTAL_IDX tablespaces
    C. Backup
    It could be a good idea to take a backup of the MIDTIER and INFRASTRUCTURE Oracle Homes at that point to allow retesting the import process if it fails for any reason as much as you want without needing to reinstall everything.
    Step 3 - Import in production (on PROD)
    The following script is a sample of an Unix script that combines all the steps to import a portal repository to the production machine.
    To import a portal reporistory and his users and group in OID, you need to do 8 things:
    Stop the midtier to avoid errors while dropping the portal schema
    SQL*Plus with Portal
    Drop the 4 default portal schemas
    Create the portal users with the same passwords than the just deleted users and give them grants (you need to create your own custom shemas too if you have some).
    Import the dump file
    Import the users and groups into OID (optional)
    SQL*Plus with SYS : Post import changes
    Recompile everything in the database
    Reassign the imported jobs to portal
    SQL*Plus with Portal : Post import changes
    Recreate the Portal intermedia indexes
    Correct an import errror on wwsrc_preference$
    Make additional post import changes, by updating some portal tables, and replacing the development hostname, port or domain by the production ones.
    Rewire the portal repository with ptlconfig -dad portal
    Restart the midtier
    Here is a sample script to do this on Unix. You will need to adapt the script to your needs.

    Each step can generate his own errors due to a lot of factors. It is better to run the import step by step the first time.

    Spool when dropping and recreating the portal users
    imp_log/import.log Import log file when importing the portal_exp.dmp file

    Spool when making post changes with PORTAL

    Log file of ptconfig when rewiring the midtier
    Step 4 - Test
    A. Check the log files
    B. Test the website and see if it works fine.
    Step 5 - take a backup
    Take a backup of all ORACLE_HOME and DATABASES to prevent all hardware problems. You need to copy:
    All the files of the 2 ORACLE_HOME
    And all the database files.
    Step 6 - Additional steps
    Here are some additional steps.
    SSO external application ( that are part of the orasso schema and not imported yet )
    Page URL items ( they seems to store the full URL ) - included in imp_portal_schema.sh
    Web Providers ( the URL needs to be changed ) - included in imp_portal_schema.sh
    Text items edited with the RTF editor in IE and containing links - included in imp_portal_schema.sh
    Most of them are taken care by the "step 8 - post import changes". Except the first one.
    1. SSO import
    This script imports only Portal and the users/groups of OID. Not the list of the external application contained in the orasso user.
    In Portal 9.0.4, there is a script called SSOMIG that resides in $INFRA_ORACLE_HOME/sso/bin and allows to move :
    Definitions and user data for external applications
    Registration URLs and tokens for partner applications
    Connection information used by OracleAS Discoverer to access various data sources
    See:
    Oracle® Application Server Single Sign-On Administrator's Guide 10g (9.0.4) Part Number B10851-01
    14. Exporting and Importing Data
    2. Page items: the page URL items store the full URL.
    This is Bug 2661805 fixed in Portal 9.0.2.6.
    This following work-around is implemented in post import step of imp_portal_schema.sh
    -- page url items
    update wwv_things
    set title_link=replace( title_link, 'dev.dev_domain.com:7778', 'prod.prod_domain.com:7778' )
    where title_link like '%$DEV_HOSTNAME:$DEV_PORT%'
    2. Web Providers
    The URL to the Web providers needs also change. Like for the Page items, they contain the full path of the webserver.
    Or you can get the list of the URLs to change with this query
    select name, http_url from PORTAL.WWPRO_PROVIDERS$ where http_url like '%';
    This following work-around is implemented in post import step of imp_portal_schema.sh
    -- web providers
    update wwpro_providers$
    set http_url=replace( http_url, 'dev.dev_domain.com:7778', 'prod.prod_domain.com:7778' )
    where http_url like '%$DEV_HOSTNAME:$DEV_PORT%'
    4. The production and development machine do not share the same domain
    If the domain of the production and the development are not the same, the DN (name in LDAP) of all users needs to change.
    Let's say from
    dc=dev_domain,dc=com -> dc=prod_domain,dc=com
    1. before to upload the ldif files. All the strings in the 2 ldifs files that contain 'dc=dev_domain,dc=com', have to be replaced by 'dc=prod_domain,dc=com'
    2. in the wwsec_group$ and wwsec_person$ tables in portal, the DN need to change too.
    This following work-around is implemented in post import step of imp_portal_schema.sh
    -- groups (dn)
    update wwsec_group$
    set dn=replace( dn, 'dc=dev_domain,dc=com', 'dc=prod_domain,dc=com' )
    update wwsec_group$
    set dn_hash = wwsec_api_private.get_dn_hash( dn )
    -- users (dn)
    update wwsec_person$
    set dn=replace( dn, 'dc=dev_domain,dc=com', 'dc=prod_domain,dc=com' )
    update wwsec_person$
    set dn_hash = wwsec_api_private.get_dn_hash( dn)
    5. Text items with HTML links
    Sometimes people stores full URL inside their text items, it happens mostly when they use link with the RichText Editor in IE .
    This following work-around is implemented in post import step in imp_portal_schema.sh
    -- html links created by the RTF editor inside text items
    update wwv_text
    set text=replace( text, 'dev.dev_domain.com:7778', 'prod.prod_domain.com:7778' )
    where text like '%$DEV_HOSTNAME:$DEV_PORT%'
    6. OID Custom password policy
    It happens quite often that the people change the password policy of the OID server. The reason is that with the default policy, the password expires after 60 days. If so, do not forget to make the same changes in the new installation.
    PROBLEMS
    1. Import log has some errors
    A. EXP-00091 -Exporting questionable statistics
    You can ignore this error.
    B. IMP-00017 - WWSRC_PREFERENCE$
    When importing, there is one import error:
    IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 921:
    "ALTER TABLE "WWSRC_PREFERENCE$" ADD "
    IMP-00003: ORACLE error 921 encountered
    ORA-00921: unexpected end of SQL commandThe primary key is not created. You can create it with this commmand
    in SQL*Plus with the user portal.. Then readd the missing VPD policy.
    alter table "WWSRC_PREFERENCE$" add constraint wwsrc_preference_pk
    primary key (subscriber_id, id)
    using index wwsrc_preference_idx1
    begin
    DBMS_RLS.ADD_POLICY ('', 'WWSRC_PREFERENCE$', 'WEBDB_VPD_POLICY',
    '', 'webdb_vpd_sec', 'select, insert, update, delete', TRUE,
    static_policy=>true);
    end ;
    Step 8 in the script "imp_portal_schema.sh" take care of this. This can also possibly be solved by the
    C. IMP-00017 - WWDAV$ASL
    . importing table "WWDAV$ASL"
    Note: table contains ROWID column, values may be obsolete 113 rows importedThis error is normal, the table really contains a ROWID column.
    D. IMP-00041 - Warning: object created with compilation warnings
    This error is normal too. The packages giving these error have
    dependencies on package not yet imported. A recompilation is done
    after the import.
    E. ldapadd error 'cannot add add entries containing authpasswords'
    # ldap_add: DSA is unwilling to perform
    # ldap_add: additional info: You cannot add entries containing authpasswords.
    "authpasswords" are automatically generated values from the real password of the user stored in userpassword. These values do not have to be exported from ldap.
    In the import script, I remove the additional tag with a XSL stylesheet 'del_authpassword.xsl'. See above.
    F. IMP-00017: WWSTO_SESSION$
    IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 2298:
    "ALTER TABLE "WWSTO_SESSION$" ENABLE CONSTRAINT "WWSTO_SESS_FK1""
    IMP-00003: ORACLE error 2298 encountered
    ORA-02298: cannot validate (PORTAL.WWSTO_SESS_FK1) - parent keys not found
    Here is a work-around for the problem. I will normally integrate it in a next version of the scripts.
    SQL> delete from WWSTO_SESSION_DATA$;
    7690 rows deleted.
    SQL> delete from WWSTO_SESSION$;
    1073 rows deleted.
    SQL> commit;
    Commit complete.
    SQL> ALTER TABLE "WWSTO_SESSION$" ENABLE CONSTRAINT "WWSTO_SESS_FK1";
    Table altered.
    G. IMP-00017 - ORACLE error 1 - DBMS_JOB.ISUBMIT
    This error can appear during the import when the import database is not empty and is already customized for some reasons. For example, you export from an infrastructure and you import in a database with a lot of other programs that uses jobs. And unhappily the same job id.
    Due to the way the export/import of jobs is done, the jobs keeps their id after the import. And they may conflict.
    IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 1: "BEGIN DBMS_JOB.ISUBMIT(JOB=>42,WHAT=>'begin execute immediate " "''begin wwutl_cache_sys.process_background_inval; end;'' ; exc" "eption when others then wwlog_api.log(p_domain=> ''utl'', " " p_subdomain=>''cache'', p_name=>''background'', " " p_action=>''process_background_inval'', p_information => ''E" "rror in process_background_inval ''|| sqlerrm);end;', NEXT_DATE=" ">TO_DATE('2004-08-19:17:32:16','YYYY-MM-DD:HH24:MI:SS'),INTERVAL=>'SYSDATE " "+ 60/(24*60)',NO_PARSE=>TRUE); END;"
    IMP-00003: ORACLE error 1 encountered ORA-00001: unique constraint (SYS.I_JOB_JOB) violated
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_JOB", line 97 ORA-06512: at line 1
    Solutions:
    1. use a fresh installed database,
    2. Due that the jobs conflicting are different because it happens only in custom installation, there is no clear rule. But you can
    recreate the jobs lost after the import with other_ids
    and/or change the job id of the other program before to import. This type of commands can help you (you need to do it with SYS)
    select * from dba_jobs;
    update dba_jobs set job=99 where job=52;
    commit
    2. Import in a RAC environment
    Be aware of the Bug 2479882 when the portal database is in a RAC database.
    Bug 2479882 : NEEDED TO BOUNCE DB NODES AFTER INSTALLING PORTAL 9.0.2 IN RAC NODE3. Intermedia
    After importing a environment, the intermedia indexes are invalid. To correct the error you need to run in SQL*Plus with Portal
    start $MIDTIER_ORACLE_HOME/portal/admin/plsql/wws/inctxgrn.sql
    start $MIDTIER_ORACLE_HOME/portal/admin/plsql/wws/ctxcrind.sql
    But $MIDTIER_ORACLE_HOME/portal/admin/plsql/wws/inctxgrn.sql is missing in IAS 9.0.4.0. This is Bug 3536937. Fixed in 9041. The missing scripts are contained in the downloadable zip file (exp_schema904.zip : Attachment 276688.1:1 ), directory sql. This means that practically in 9040, you have to run
    start sql/inctxgrn.sql
    start $MIDTIER_ORACLE_HOME/portal/admin/plsql/wws/ctxcrind.sql
    In the import script, it is done in the step 6 - recreate Portal Intermedia indexes.
    You can not WA the problem without the scripts. Running ctxcrind.sql alone does not work. You will have this error:
    ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
    ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWERR_API_EXCEPTION", line 164
    ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWV_CONTEXT", line 1035
    ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
    ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWERR_API_EXCEPTION", line 164
    ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWV_CONTEXT", line 476
    ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
    ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
    DRG-12603: CTXSYS does not own user datastore procedure: WWSBR_THING_CTX_69
    ORA-06512: at line 13
    4. ptlconfig
    If you try to run ptlconfig simply after an import you will get an error:
    Problem processing Portal instance: Configuring HTTP server settings : Installing cache data : SQL exception: ERROR: ORA-23421: job number 32 is not a job in the job queue
    This is because the import done by user SYS has imported the PORTAL jobs to the SYS schema in place of portal. The solution is to run
    update dba_jobs set LOG_USER='PORTAL', PRIV_USER='PORTAL' where schema_user='PORTAL';
    In the import script, it is done in the step 8 - post import changes.
    5. WWC-41417 - invalid credentials.
    When you try to login you get:
    Unexpected error encountered in wwsec_app_priv.process_signon (User-Defined Exception) (WWC-41417)
    An exception was raised when accessing the Oracle Internet Directory: 49: Invalid credentials
    Details
    Error:Operation: dbms_ldap.simple_bind_s
    OID host: machine.domain.com
    OID port number: 4032
    Entry DN: orclApplicationCommonName=PORTAL,cn=Portal,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext. (WWC-41743)Solution:
    - run secupoid.sql
    - rerun ptlconfig
    This problem has been seen after using ptlasst in place of ptlconfig.
    6. EXP-003 with a database 9.2.0.5 or 10.1.0.2
    In fact, the DB format of imp/exp has changed in 9.2.0.5 or 10.1.0.2. The EXP-3 error only occurs when the export from the 9.2.0.5.0 or 10.1.0.2.0 database is done with a lower release export utility, e.g. 9.2.0.4.0.
    Due to the way this note is written, the imp/exp utility used is the one of the midtier (9014), if your portal resides in a 9.2.0.5 database, it will not work. To work-around the problem, there are 2 solutions:
    Change the script so that it uses the exp and imp command of database.
    Make a change to the 9.2.0.5 or 10.1.0.2 database to make them compatible with previous version. The change is to modify a database internal view before to export/import the data.
    A work-around is given in Bug 3784697
    1. Make a note of the export definition of exu9tne from
    $OH/rdbms/admin/catexp.sql
    2. Copy this to a new file and add "UNION ALL select * from sys.exu9tneb" to the end of the definition
    3. Run this as sys against the DB to be exported.
    4. Export as required
    5. Put back the original definition of exu9tne
    eg: For 9204 the workaround view would be:
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW exu9tne (
    tsno, fileno, blockno, length) AS
    SELECT ts#, segfile#, segblock#, length
    FROM sys.uet$
    WHERE ext# = 1
    UNION ALL
    select * from sys.exu9tneb
    7. EXP-00006: INTERNAL INCONSISTENCY ERROR
    This is Bug 2906613.
    The work-around given in this bug is the following:
    - create the following view, connected as sys, before running export:
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW exu8con (
    objid, owner, ownerid, tname, type, cname,
    cno, condition, condlength, enabled, defer,
    sqlver, iname) AS
    SELECT o.obj#, u.name, c.owner#, o.name,
    decode(cd.type#, 11, 7, cd.type#),
    c.name, c.con#, cd.condition, cd.condlength,
    NVL(cd.enabled, 0), NVL(cd.defer, 0),
    sv.sql_version, NVL(oi.name, '')
    FROM sys.obj$ o, sys.user$ u, sys.con$ c,
    sys.cdef$ cd, sys.exu816sqv sv, sys.obj$ oi
    WHERE u.user# = c.owner# AND
    o.obj# = cd.obj# AND
    cd.con# = c.con# AND
    cd.spare1 = sv.version# (+) AND
    cd.enabled = oi.obj# (+) AND
    NOT EXISTS (
    SELECT owner, name
    FROM sys.noexp$ ne
    WHERE ne.owner = u.name AND
    ne.name = o.name AND
    ne.obj_type = 2)
    The modification of exu8con simply adds support for a constraint type that had not previously been supported by this view. There is no negative impact.
    8. WWSBR_DOC_CTX_54 is invalid
    After the recompilation of the package, one package remains invalid (in sys_post_changes.log):
    INVALID_OBJECT_AFTER
    1
    select owner, object_name from all_objects where status='INVALID'
    CTXSYS WWSBR_DOC_CTX_54
    CREATE OR REPLACE procedure WWSBR_DOC_CTX_54
    (rid in rowid, bilob in out NOCOPY blob)
    is begin PORTAL.WWSBR_CTX_PROCS.DOC_CTX(rid,bilob);end;
    This object is not used anymore by portal. The error can be ignored. The procedure can be removed too. This is Bug 3559731.
    9. You do not have permission to perform this operation. (WWC-44131)
    It seems that there are problems if
    - groups on the production machine are not residing in the default place in OID,
    - and that the group creation base and group search base where changed.
    After this, the cloning of the repository work without problem. But it seems that the command 'ptlconfig -dad portal' does not reset the GUID and DN of the groups correctly. I have not checked this yet.
    The solution seems to use the script given in the 9.0.2 Note 228516.1. And run group_sec.sql to reset all the DN and GUID in the copied instance.
    10. Invalid Java objects when exporting from a 9.x database and importing in a 10g database
    If you export from a 9.x database and import in a 10g database, after running utlrp.sql, 18 Java objects will be invalid.
    select object_name, object_type from user_objects where status='INVALID'

    Main Differences with Portal 9.0.2
    For the persons used to this technics in Portal 9.0.2, you could be interested to read the main differences with the same note for Portal 9.0.2
    Portal 9.0.2
    Portal 9.0.4
    Cutter database
    Portal 9.0.2 can be part of an infrastructure database or in a custom external database.
    In Portal 9.0.2, the portal schema is imported in an empty database.
    Portal 9.0.4 can only be installed in a 'Cutter database', a database created with RepCA or OUI containing always OID, DCM and so on...
    In Portal 9.0.4, the portal schema is imported in an 'Cutter database' (new)
    group_sec.sql
    group_sec.sql is used to correct the GUIDs of OID stored in Portal
    ptlconfig -dad portal -oid is used to correct the GUIDs of OID stored in Portal (new)
    1 script
    The import / export are divided by several steps with several scripts
    The import script is done in one step
    Additional steps are included in the script
    This requires to know the hostname and port of the original development machine. (new)
    Import
    The steps are:
    creation of an empty database
    creation of the users with password=username
    import
    The steps are:
    creation of an IAS 10g infrastructure DB (repca or OUI)
    deletion of new portal schemas (new)
    creation of the users with the same password than the schemas just dropped.
    import
    DAD
    The dad needed to be changed
    The passwords are not changed, the dad does not need to be changed.
    Bugs
    In portal 9.0.2, 2 bugs were workarounded by change_host.sh
    In Portal 9.0.4, some tables additional tables needs to be updated manually before to run ptlasst. This is #Bug:3762961#.
    export of LDAP
    The export is done in LDIF files. If the prod and the dev have different domain, it is quite difficult to change the domain name in these file due to the line wrapping at 78 characters.
    The export is done in XML files, in the DSML format (new). It is a lot easier to change the XML files if the domain name is different from PROD to DEV.
    Download
    You have to cut and paste the scripts
    The scripts are attached to the note. Just donwload them.
    Rewiring
    9.0.2 uses ptlasst.

    9.0.4 uses ptlconfig (new)
    ptlconfig -dad portal
    Environment variables
    A lot of environment variables are needed
    Just 3 environment variables are needed:
    - password of SYS
    - password of IAS,
    - ORACLE_HOME of the Midtier
    All the rest is found in iasconfig.xml and LDAP (new)

    Hola Roberto
    many thank for your answer.
    the oracle aplication is developed in Forms [32 bits] Versión 10.1.2.3.0 (Producción)
    the server is
    10g Release 2 (10.1.2) Patch Set 3 (10.1.2.3.0) for Solaris Operating System
    the jsp is in a was server it is version 6 the java aplication is developes using jdk 1.4 but is running on a jre 1.6.0_11
    bouth applications have the same ip differt ports
    when oracle app calls the java app use the
    http://999.999.999.9/dir/dir.do?parameters.....
    the port is not especified but is different
    when the java application calls the oracle aplication the url is something like
    http://999.999.999.9:8888/forms/frmservlet?config=oracle_aplication&otherparams=
    if the urls are call directily from a browser they work fine.
    has it got something to do with the configuration of the single sing on ??
    any help or idea will be very apreciated
    many many thanks

  • Music Player S^3 artist&album

    I recently got a C6-01 and am very happy with the phone overall. There are a few questions I have about the way the music player deals with the library though.
    1) Why do songs get categorised in the (Unknown/Unknown) category when the artist is known but the album isn't? This is rather annoying because there are quite a lot of tracks in the library that only have the artist information set, but they don't show up in the artist listing.
    2) Can I select to play all the songs from a particular artist (without creating a playlist out of them) regardless of the album info? Again this would be very helpful since some of the tracks won't have the album info, and sometimes I just want to listen to a particular artist and not care so much about which album the tracks are on.
    Neither one of these should be a problem technically, so am I just missing some menu item to get it done or is it not possible?
    Thanks.

    There are two "Artist" fields in the ID3 information in each track - a track artist and an album artist (this allows for compilation albums where a single singer or group did not make all of the tracks on the album), if some of these fields are not filled in, you may see strange things like this when viewing the tracks in the phone's music player. You can edit the track details in Ovi Player (they need to be copied to your PC, amended then compied back).

    Presently, no. This is an omission from the S^3 music player that needs to be put right.

  • Data level Security for Oracle Apps as Source

    Hi all
    I need to implement Data level Security on Apps Users in OBIA
    We are using Apps as source with Single sign On. I need to apply Data level security on Business Group Field.
    We dont have users in OBI, we need to register apps users in OBI.
    Could anybody tell me how to register Apps users in OBI???
    OR tell me if you know some other way to implement D L Sec on Single sing On and Apps as source.
    Thanks in avd

    You need to be creating your "business groups" as a group in the RPD, init blocks to retrieve the user business group at login. Filters in the Logical table sources to restrict data to relevant business groups only.
    Presentation 'Web Cat' groups with the same name as the RPD groups so a user inherits membership automatically.
    I'd suggest sourcing a vanilla OBIA rpd to see how it is implemented out of the box.

  • 802.1x, eDirectory, and RADIUS

    Hello all:
    I hope that I am posting on the correct forum.
    We currently have a Cisco ACS 3.3 which we have configured to use
    eDirectory as an external LDAP directory. We are currently able to set
    up access to our routers and switches via TACACs and successfully
    authenticate via user names and passwords stored in eDirectory, so we
    know that the LDAP access is working. eDirectory version is 8.7.3.4. OS
    is Netware 6.5 sp 3.
    We are now embarking on setting up wireless authentication utilizing
    the AEGIS client from Meetinghouse as our supplicant. We have been
    successful in authenticating to our test wireless AP (Cisco 1200) with
    a user setup in an access group on the ACS using the ACS as a RADIUS
    server. We are authenticating via LEAP. However, we have not been able
    to authenticate using eDirectory usernames and passwords. Upon
    reviewing various posts I have seen info about adding RADIUS attributes
    to eDirectory to use the FreeRADIUS server. Is this necessary with the
    ACS device? Do we need to change our protocol to EAP-TTLS as is
    suggested in other posts or do we need to set up simple passwords? What
    security considerations do we want to take into account?
    If anyone has successfully implemented this configuration, please feel
    free to contact me directly. We want to leverage eDirectory and our
    client's experience with this platform to make wireless security as
    seemless and secure as possible. This is a school district and we want
    to be able to limit our user access via login names that they enter on
    any machine in the district rather than via machine certificates. That
    way if we want to deny a student access for disciplinary reasons, we
    can implement it very easily.
    I would greatly appreciate any assistance that can be provided!!!!!!

    I sent you an email regarding our situation. Have you received it yet
    and if so have you had a chance to respond to the wireless
    authentication questions.
    Thanks
