Siteminder question

Hi Tim,
I had a basic question about siteminder setup:
We have a architecture of Apache web server --> tomcat application server -- bo server on different machines.
Where does the site minder web agent gets loaded On the web server or the Application server .
Also if the Web server is in the DMZ will that be supported .
thanks
Rakesh

siteminder does not support tomcat (at least with our only supported version 6.x in 4.x compatibility mode) so you would need to use apache, unless using trusted authentication at which point you could pick up your SM-user anywhere (portal, apache, or any other supported webagent server.
Regards,
Tim

Integrating WebLogic Server with CA SiteMinder Web Agent R6

Hi I have searched on the topic of integrating WebLogic Server with the CA SiteMinder Web Agent R6 to provide single sign on services, and have been unable to find anything. Does anyone have any experience with this that could provide some tips, or could direct me to some documentation?

It definitely can work. We have done the same thing in several installations. The question is "How secure does it need to be?" You will be using SM to do authentication. You will configure SSO to trust the SM header variable. If you really want to be secure you need to configure your boxes so that the http server on you SUSE box (for Portal) can only be accessed from the Reverse Proxy. If another machine can access it someone could spoof the header variable and log in as anyone they want.
Hope this is helpful.

API to generate password using Siteminder API and the password policy

Is there any API in siteminder to generate a password using the Password policies defined ?

Hello Jim,
The way you are going about your coding sounds correct. Per your second question, MAX installs when you update the computer drivers. To do this go to ni.com/drivers, search for DAQmx, and then download the most current version of DAQmx that is compatible with your computers. By installing a newer version of DAQmx MAX will automatically be updated.

Siteminder Support for Siebel 8.x

According to CA Web Site, the Siebel Agent for Siteminder supports 7.8. Siebel 8.x is not mentioned.
Does anyone know when Siteminder will support Siebel 8?

Siteminder provider error while configuring sm providers on console

hi ,
I have installed siteminder ASA agent on my weblogic 8.1 server and also made the necessary changes in wl startup script.But when i try to configure a new sm provider ie auth ,az or asserter i get following exception on weblogic console

I cross checked the classpath its according to the doc only and also smsecurityprovider is there in mbeantypes directory that made me believe that the ASA Installation is ok.
please respond if any clue, Thanks

It definitely does look like its not finding that smsecurityprocider.jar. You are sure that you have this jar in:
${BEA_HOME}/weblogic81/server/lib/mbeantypes ?
Make sure the jar contains the class in question:
jar -tf smsecurityprocider.jar
Also, you can try specifically targeting another directory that contains the provider using:
-Dweblogic.alternateTypesDirectory=<dir>
Are you using a nodemanager with managed servers to get this error ?

I need to CHANGE my SAML Claims Identity Provider from Siteminder to Okta

I went ahead and got specific on the title .... but, the question is a general question actually.
I currently have SAML-provider-A. I need to move my Sharepoint Claims Webapplication from SAML-A over to SAML-provider-B. I THINK that I should be able to simply remove SAML-A TIP and add SAML-B tip and as long as I retain
the same TIP-NAME - I think that my profiles shoudl not have to be migrated etc. etc.
When I DELETE the connection for UPA - and reCREATE the connection to AD via the TIP.
My fear is that there is something that will cause the UPA to duplicate the profiles. But, I dont THINK that'll happen.
Does anybody know?
if my post is helpful - please click on the green arrow. (please excuse, in advance, any perceived sarcasm/humor - as I often forget it does not translate through text) :)

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you need to change your SAML Claims Identity Provider from Siteminder to Okta.
For achieving your demand, you can refer to the steps as the guide:
https://support.okta.com/entries/55886993-Microsoft-SharePoint-On-Premises-Deployment-Guide#setup
And you need to associate your existing web application with the Okta identity provider and perform IIS Reset:

Authentication & Session Management questions

Hi. Apex 2.2.1. I'm going crazy trying to set up authentication for my application. I'd appreciate any pointers. My scenario is
Siteminder intercepts all calls to the application
User authenticates with Siteminder
If authenticated, Siteminder sets HTTP_SM_USER in the header
If not authenticated, then APEX is never called
Pull the user out of the header
Create a session if needed
Log the user in if needed
Redirect the user to the request page
I've followed the example that I've found in the forum and set up a page sentry function to create a session when the user first comes in. After that I try to verify that the session belongs to them. That's not working because wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.get_username never returns a value. I think that's because I'm not logging the user in to APEX. I can't figure out the difference between wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.post_login and wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login. (it probably doesn't help that I inherited the application from some consultants that left a year ago and there is no documentation on it or even APEX here at my site).
Mike

Thanks, Scott. The problem is that it seems to keep looping. You can see from the log that it creates the session, then invalidates it, then creates it, etc.

SiteMinder installation and setup guide

I want to know the procedure and order to be followed for setting up and configure SiteMinder 6.0.

Hi,
I might have misunderstood your question but IF you are actually wondering:
"Is there anything special I need to do after installing the Sun Directory Server to use it as my ldap DS?"
Then my answer is:
Nope! You just need to specify the port on which your Sun DS happens to be running on your machine during the SiteMinder installation...and voila it will store its config data on it!
In case you want appropriate instructions on how to install Siteminder itself...shouldn't there be a docs folder with plenty of installation pdf's included in the Siteminder 6.0 cd that you bought?
Cheers,

Share OID for OAM and for Siteminder

Hello,
Has anyone deployed or know if the same OID deployment can be used for OIM-OAM and for policy store of Siteminder? OIM-OAM will have its own user and policies stored in OID, while Siteminder would have its own policy store in the same OID deployment.
If possible, what are the challenges/disadvantages you see/have faced?
Thanks.

Ninad,
It appears you answered your own question. If product A is certified for a certain version of OID and product B is not yet certified, then you would have to wait to upgrade until both are certified if you want to stay within the support policies for both product A and B. That's the major constraint.
As Sagar noted, the policy stores for both OAM (10g) and SiteMinder can be separated into their own directory instances, so they can be tuned separately. OAM 11g no longer stores policy data inteh directory, so it's a non-issue for that product, anyway. However,you will have to apply each products' user schemas to all your users so they can work with either product. Here are the possible issues:
- Your directory server will have to index both OAM and SiteMinder attributes, so it has to index a lot of stuff, which is potentially a lot of overhead for the directory to maintain.
- Each product maintains separate attributes for password policies, so if you enforce password policies using both products, you could run into problems and confusion for your end users.
I'm just wondering why you aren't using one Access Mgmt product for everything? Are you trying to transition from SiteMinder to OAM or something?

Questions on Print Quote report

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Oracle Quoting and trying to get familiar with it. I have a few questions and would appreciate if anyone answers them
1) We have a requirement to customize the Print Quote report. I searched these forums and found that this report can be defined either as a XML Publisher report or an Oracle Reports report depending on a profile option. Can you please let me know what the name of the profile option is?
2) When I select the 'Print Quote' option from the Actions drop down in the quoting page and click Submit I get the report printed and see the following URL in my browser.
http://<host>:<port>/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?PROJ03_APPS+report=/proj3/app/appltop/aso/11.5.0/reports/US/ASOPQTEL.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+P_TCK_ID=23731428+P_EXECUTABLE=N+P_SHOW_CHARGES=N+P_SHOW_CATG_TOT=N+P_SHOW_PRICE_ADJ=Y+P_SESSION_ID=c-RAuP8LOvdnv30grRzKqUQs:S+P_SHOW_HDR_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_LINE_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_HDR_SALESUPP=N+P_SHOW_LN_SALESUPP=N+TOLERANCE=0+DESFORMAT=RTF+DESNAME=Quote.rtf
Does it mean that the profile in our case is set to call the rdf since it has reference to ASOPQTEL.rdf in the above url?
3) When you click on submit button do we have something like this in the jsp code: On click call ASOPQTEL.rdf. Is the report called using a concurrent program? I want to know how the report is getting invoked?
4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
Thanks and Appreciate your patience

No, there is no conc program getting called, you can directly call a report in a browser window, Oracle reports server will execute the report and send the HTTP response to the browser.4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.

Satellite P300D-10v - Question about warranty

HI EVERYBODY
I have these overheating problems with my laptop Satellite P300D-10v.
I did everything I could do to fix it without any success..
I get the latest update of the bios from Toshiba. I cleaned my lap with compressed air first and then disassembled it all and cleaned it better.(it was really clean insight though...)
BUT unfortunately the problem still exists...
So i made a research on the internet and I found out that most of Toshiba owners have the same exactly problem with their laptop.
Well i guess this is a Toshiba bug for many years now.
Its a really nice lap, cool sound (the best in laptop ever) BUT......
So I wanted to make a question. As i am still under warranty, can i return this laptop and get my money back or change it with a different one????
If any body knows PLS let me know.
chears
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have already found you other threads.
Regarding the warranty question;
If there is something wrong with the hardware then the ASP in your country should be able to help you.
The warranty should cover every reparation or replacement.
But I read that you have disasembled the laptop at your own hand... hmmm if you have disasembled the notebook then your warrany is not valid anymore :(
I think this should be clear for you that you can lose the warrany if you disasemble the laptop!
By the way: you have to speak with the notebook dealer where you have purchased this notebook if you want to return the notebook
The Toshiba ASP can repair and fix the notebook but you will not get money from ASP.

Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either. I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either. Anybody...?
Thanks!

there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

Basic question

Hello, i have a basic question. if i have defined 2 fields in a cube or a dso:
Name Quantity
and from the external flat file i get some characters for my quantity field. would my load fail? for standard dso and for write optimized?
NOTE: quantity field is a keyfigure defined as numeric.
and the load coming in has "VIKPATEL" for Quantity field and not numbers.
thanks

Hi Vik,
Yes, the load will fail.
May be you coud first load this data into BW (into PSA) and set both fields as characters fields. Then you can create DSO, do transformation from this PSA to the DSO, and put your logic as to what do you want to do with those Quantity that is not number (e.g. convert to 0, or 'Not assgined', etc).
You can use transfer rule, or a clean up ABAP code in the start routine.
Hope this helps.

Mid 2010 15" i5 Battery Calibration Questions

Hi, I have a mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz i5.
Question 1: I didn't calibrate my battery when I first got my MacBook Pro (it didn't say in the manual that I had to). I've had it for about a month and am doing a calibration today, is that okay? I hope I haven't damaged my battery? The calibration is only to help the battery meter provide an accurate reading of how much life it has remaining, right?
Question 2: After reading Apple's calibration guide, I decided to set the MacBook Pro to never go to sleep (in Energy Saver System Preference) and leave it on overnight so it would run out of power and go to sleep, then I'd leave it in that state for at least 5 hours before charging it. When I woke up, the light on the front wasn't illuminated. It usually pulsates when in Sleep. Expectedly, it wouldn't wake when pressing buttons on the keyboard. So, what's happened? Is this Safe Sleep? I didn't see any "Your Mac is on reserve battery and will shut down" dialogues or anything similar, as I was asleep! I've left it in this state while I'm at work and will charge it this afternoon. Was my described method okay for calibration or should I have done something different?
Question 3: Does it matter how quickly you drain your battery when doing a calibration? i.e is it okay to drain it quickly (by running HD video, Photo Booth with effects etc) or slowly (by leaving it idle or running light apps)?
Thanks.

A1. You're fine calibrating the battery now. You might have gotten more accurate readings during the first month if you'd done it sooner, but no harm has been done.
A2. Your machine has NOT shut down; it has done exactly what it was supposed to do. When the power became critically low, it first wrote the contents of RAM to the hard drive, then went to sleep. When the battery was completely drained some time later, the MBP went into hibernation and the slepp light stopped pulsing and turned off. In that state the machine was using no power at all, but the contents of your RAM were still saved. Once the AC adapter was connected, a press of the power button would cause those contents to be reloaded, and the machine would pick up again exactly where you left off. It is not necessary to wait for the battery to be fully charged before using the machine on AC power, but do leave the AC adapter connected for at least two hours after the battery is fully charged. Nothing that you say you've done was wrong, and nothing that you say has happened was wrong.
A3. No, it does not matter.
