[SOLVED] ADF Security: No success with DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule

Hi,
because do not have success to implement simple ADF Security to my application for weeks I try it again with this post.
Hopefully someone who was already successful with this issue can give me the hint, missing step or something else.
I have read many forum posts, blogs and documentation (10.x) but because ADF security has been changed from 10g to 11g I'm never sure if a documented step from 10g is necessary for 11g also.
I also posted my problem to posts with similar problems but no response :-(
I use 11g, TP4.
My Requirement:
=============
- user accounts and roles are stored within database tables
- roles are not used (every user has the same rights) but stored in the database table
- Custom Login-Page (jspx)
- At login ADF Security only needs to check if the entered user/password is stored in the database table (no password encryption is used at the moment)
Steps I have done:
ADF Security wizard:
================
Step 1: Enforce Authorization NOT checked (Also tried to CHECK this checkbox)
Redirect upon sucessfull Authentication CHECKED
generate Default CHECKED
Step 2: No identity store CHECKED
Step 3: Enable Credital Store CHECKED
Step 4: No Policy Store CHECKED
Step 5: Enable Anonymous Provider
Step 6: Manage Login Modules --> Add "oracle.security.jazn.login.module.db.DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule"
Name = oracledb.loginmodule
Login Control Flag = Required
Log Level = fine
--> Add "oracledb.loginmodule" as the only "Selected login module"
Step 7: Form-Based Authentication
Generate default is CHECKED
Step 8: WebResources: allPages
Selected Roles: valid-users
Step 9: FINISH Wizard
Then I edit jps-config.xml manually. Here the actual content:
=============================================================
<serviceInstance provider="jaas.login.provider"
name="oracledb.loginmodule">
<property value="true" name="debug"/>
<property value="REQUIRED" name="jaas.login.controlFlag"/>
<property value="true" name="addAllRoles"/>
<property value="oracle.security.jazn.login.module.db.DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule"
name="loginModuleClassName"/>
<property value="FINE" name="log.level"/>
<property value="jdbc/TLS-BOBDS" name="data_source_name"/>
<property value="passwort" name="passwordField"/>
<property value="rol_rolle" name="groupMembershipGroupFieldName"/>
<property value="bediener_rollen" name="groupMembershipTableName"/>
<property value="user_kennung" name="usernameField"/>
<property value="bediener" name="table"/>
<property value="persnr" name="user_pk_column"/>
<property value="bed_persnr" name="roles_fk_column"/>
<property value="toupper" name="casing"/>
</serviceInstance>
====================================
Then I start the application. Re-direction to the login-page works fine.
I enter username/password and press submit --> Following error occures in OC4J log:
===================

==================================================
My questions:
=============
1) Are there additional steps necessary to implement ADF Security for my requirements ?
2) If yes, which? Which files I have to edit manually after ADF security wizard has been finished?
Any help is warmly welcome !
regards
Peter

Hello
Many thanks to CP and Andre who gave the missing hints in this tread:
OC4J 11g and JAZN
The property custom.provider mentioned by cp was the "missing link" --> now it works.
BUT "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen ..." !
I made dozens of trials with the same application and always similar (strange) results.
When I CHECK "enforce Authorization" in the ADF security wizard then
the redirection to the Login Page does NOT work (reason is unclear for me)
If I UNCHECK "enforce Authorization" in the ADF security wizard then
the redirection to the login page works fine BUT the redirect upon succesful Authentication doesn't work.
--> In this case following code is missing in web.xml
=====================
<servlet>
<servlet-name>adfAuthentication</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>oracle.adf.share.security.authentication.AuthenticationServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>success_url</param-name>
<param-value>welcome.jsp</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
=================================
I think (but not 100%) that SOMETIMES the propertie "<property value="true" name="custom.provider"/>" has been created by the ADF security wizard.
SOMETIMES I was not able to create the default welcome.jsp with the ADF Security Wizard, ....
Maybe someone can reproduce this behaviour and fills a bug.
regards
Peter

[Solved] ADF Security permission error

Hi,
I have used ADF Security to authorize access on SRTutorial sample application but I get an error: 'JBO-35108: No permission for action: executeWithParams'. There is not an 'Edit Authorization' context menu item for this method, so how can I set permissions for it?

Hi Frank and Saeed,
i get the same error (JBO-35108) like Saeed. The only difference is that the error occurs in my own application (not in SRDemo, i didn't tested this). Is there any workaround or bugfix available, or is waiting for a newer JDeveloper version the only solution?
Solves JDeveloper11g the problem?

Creating a WebCenter Application with PageCutomizable and ADF Security

I created a Webcenter App in Jdev 11.1.1.2.0 with webcenter extension.
I have 2 JSPX files.
One called mainTemplate.jspx
- contains header, footer in ADF and a center facet.
One called Welcome.jspx created from mainTemplate
- contains page customizable > panel customizable > layout customizable > various custom panel configs.
ADF security is configured with BASIC, authentication only. Because form authentication seems harder to get working.
We have one weblogic user, and currently deploy to the integrated WLS, although we'll deploy out to a full server once security/composer is working.
The problem is, when we run the Welcome.jspx, and because we added a reference to a logged in var, it requests http login fine.
We then refresh the page and see that we are indeed logged in as 'weblogic'.
Is weblogic a special user? should I create a new one? Is there any setup required on the Integrated WLS to get this working?
However when we click on 'add Content' using the composer we get a permission error.
+<RegistrationConfigurator><handleError> Server Exception during PPR, #1+
javax.el.ELException: oracle.adf.view.page.editor.security.ComposerSecurityException: You do not have permission to edit the page

I tried using the Customization allowed var in the property inspector, but could not map 'allowed by' to a user or role that my setup would recognise. The doco specifies 'admin' which does not work for me.
In my catalog I have a WCM portlet taskflow, which will require its own permissions.
I tried enabling permissions for the test-all role to all of my pages/taskflows, leaving just the 'view' permission to the anonymous role.
I also tried authentication/authorization profiles, and building my own jspx login/error pages, but no luck there either, the login button doesn't seem to tirgger my java doLogin class, even though I set the binding on the button using the method expression builder to the bean method.
*note: I didn't try the welcome/login/error page auto create as they generate html files, I created JSFs with full UI in there. Am I required to use those html types instead of jspx? I found that the redirection worked by appending the jspx reference with '/faces/Login.jspx'. The problem seemed to have been somewhere else.
If we have any Webcenter Composer / Security gurus out there, help would be greatly appreciated.
Our main goal is to create a Webcenter App which has security/composer/navigation and a catalog with WCM/Siebel portlets similar to the Avitek demo without using WC Spaces.
Thanks.
Thanks.

When you want to achieve this you need to configure ADF security with basic authentication & authorization. THe authorization is the part that takes care of what a user may and may not do in an application. Authentication is just the log in part.
When you have configured your application for authorization as well, you have to create roles and groups.
You will also have to set the authorization of your pages. Open a jsxp and in the design or source view, right click and "edit authorization". You then have to add roles to your pages and define their rights. Then you can set the authorization for edit,cuustomize,personlise,view,...
Hope this helps.

ADF Security Framework

Hi,
Has somebody successfully implemented ADF Security framework with LDAP provider?
I followed this nice article by Frank http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/1013/adfsecurity/adfsecurity_10132.html
and it works but very slow - I must say I have maybe 100 VO's attributes on page, but to wait 3minutes to get rendered the page is too long. Maybe some bottleneck somewhere so I am asking...
thanks,
Branislav

Hi
I have also used ADF security using LDAP with less VO's per page without any problems.
I must tell you however that during development I use file based security and change it to LDAP later on during deployment on the application server (I use 10.1.3.1).If you combine this with SSO then you end up with a neat solution -- that in my case more or less works satisfactorily. :-)

Web Center app with ADF Security - login problem

I have a custome Oracle Web Center app.
I have a page.html with an embedded login form posting to j_security_check. I've configured the ADF security policies to redirect to a JSPX on successful login.
When I try the correct username/password, I get redirected not to the page I defined in ADF, but to the root page http://127.0.0.1:7101/MyApp-ViewController-context-root/
and i get
Error 403--Forbidden
I've checked the weblogic.xml as per http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2009/12/solving-error-403-forbidden-in-adf.html, all the required entries are there.
This works fine if i use a Login link with
destination="#{'/adfAuthentication?login=true&end_url=/faces/postLogin.jspx'} "
which redirects to the default login.html and then to the right page. I've copied the form from the default login.html into my master HTML page.
Hope my question is clear. Any suggestions why it is going to the wrong URL after login.
Is there anything specific I should see in the jazn-data.xml or web.xml regarding the post-login URL since i cant see that in either.
P.S. Have been advised to try here when I originally asked this in the WebCenter forum. Web Center app ADF Security - login problem
Edited by: new_to_webcenter on 18-Jan-2011 05:25

Thanks for your response Frank.
The web.xml has
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>adfAuthentication</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/adfAuthentication</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>valid-users</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/login.html</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/error.html</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>
When configuring ADF Security via JDev , I chose "Redirect upon successful authentication" to the Welcome Page
"/faces/postLogin.jspx"
this then adds into web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>adfAuthentication</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>oracle.adf.share.security.authentication.AuthenticationServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>success_url</param-name>
<param-value>/faces/postLogin.jspx</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
So the sequence which works is:
Login via the '/adfAuthentication?login=true&end_url=/faces/postLogin.jspx' and this redirects to login.html (OOTB form which posts to j_security_check) and then to the postLogin.jspx
I'm trying to do away with a Login link, and trying the simple login form embedded in my page alongwith other content.
So should the form be posting to j_security_check directly or to the adfAuthentication ?

Problem with ADF security and task flow calls

Hi.
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.0.0.
I encountered a problem when tried to apply ADF security to my application.
The way to reproduce the problem:
1. Create new Fusion Web Application;
2. Import Business Components from Tables from any existing schema and add at least one table to the ApplicationModule.
3. Create "welcome page" (for instance, welcome.jsf). Add a button with fixed action outcome "test".
4. Create test page, for instance, test.jsf. Drag and drop any view object from Data Controls onto the page and create a form with navigation controls. Add a button with fixed action outcome "return".
5. Create bounded task flow, name it "test", drag and drop our test page on it - the page will be the default activity. Add a task flow return activity. Add a control flow case from the default view activity to the return activity, set From Outcome property to "return". So our return button should cause the task flow to exit.
6. Open adfc-config.xml in diagram mode and place our welcome page on it. Then drag and drop the test task flow to create a task flow call activity. Add a control flow case from welcome page to task flow call activity, set the From Outcome property to "test". So our test button should call the test task flow.
7. Configure application to run the unbounded task flow starting with Welcome view activity.
At this point all works as expected: when application runs, the welcome page is displayed with test button. Pressing the test button results in displaying the test page, return button leads back to the welcome page.
Now let's configure ADF Security.
Run the ADF Security configuration wizard, choose ADF Authentication and Authorization.
On the second page select Form-Based Authentication, check the Generate Default Pages flag.
On the third page choose No Automatic Grants.
On the next page keep the Redirect Upon Successful Authentication unchecked. Press Finish.
Open jazn-data.xml to configure roles, users and resource grants:
1. Create application role test-role.
2. Grant the test-role privileges to view the test task flow.
3. Create user and grant him the test-role.
Now we have the public available welcome page and the test page with restricted access.
When application runs, the welcome page is displayed as expected. Pressing the test button redirect us to auto-generated login page. After successful authorization the test page is displayed. But nothing happens if we click now the return button for the first time. When we click the return button once more, the application crushes with Error-500 and message "Target Unreachable, identifier 'bindings' resolved to null". The exact error trace depends on UI control bindings, but looks like this:
javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: //C:/Users/DUDKIN/AppData/Roaming/JDeveloper/system11.1.2.0.38.60.17/o.j2ee/drs/Test1/ViewControllerWebApp.war/test.jsf @10,120 value="#{bindings.Id.inputValue}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'bindings' resolved to null

(the rest of lines skipped).
Any suggestions?

@Lovin_JV_941794
The welcome page is public available since it does not have appropriate PageDef file.
Login page comes not from the welcome page, it comes after attempt to access the test page. So after the login succeeded the test page appears, because redirect to welcome page after successful login is not configured. I do not need to return the welcome page at this moment, I need to go to the test page.
It seems the task flow call stack to be destroyed after redirect to login page.

Error when trying to see pages in webcenter app with adf security activated

Greetings
I have this problem
I developed a WebCenter Application that uses ADF Security with form authentication. This App has
two JSPX the first one is the login page and the second one is the page where i manage runtime created pages
using the CREATE PAGE task flow and a page tree iterator to see my created pages.
when i deploy de application on the weblogic server i am able to login successfully and create as many pages as
i want and also see them using the link generated. the problem is that when a delete the application from the weblogic
server, i mean the deployed application, then redeploy the same application on the server i can login again and
see the pages i created before but when i try to reach them i get this error showed in my internet browser:
Error 401--Unauthorized
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.2 401 Unauthorized
The request requires user authentication. The response MUST include a WWW-Authenticate header field (section 14.46)
containing a challenge applicable to the requested resource. The client MAY repeat the request with a suitable Authorization
header field (section 14.8). If the request already included Authorization credentials, then the 401 response indicates that
authorization has been refused for those credentials. If the 401 response contains the same challenge as the prior response,
and the user agent has already attempted authentication at least once, then the user SHOULD be presented the entity that was
given in the response, since that entity MAY include relevant diagnostic information. HTTP access authentication is explained
in section 11.
Does anybody now what kind of configuration i am missing or what is happening?
thanks for your help

this issue has a solution showed on the this thread Re: ERROR when trying to see pages created with create page task flow

GOTCHA's with Setting up ADF Security with JDev 11.1.1.6.0

If you're getting into ADF security, you're probably going to want to get rid of that ugly default login.html page. I mean, it gets the job done, but we want something a little better. And if you want something a little better and you're using JDev 11.1.1.6.0, it behooves you to read this post!
First off, get acquainted with these four posts. All good stuff. They'll walk you through the 1st half of what you need to know. Y'know, the non-Gotcha half.

Are you getting either of the following errors?
<CodebasePolicyHandler> <migrateDeploymentPolicies> Migration of codebase policy failed. Reason: {0}.
oracle.security.jps.JpsException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: oracle.security.jps.internal.core.principals.JpsAnonymousRoleImpl
Error 500--Internal Server Error
java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot find FacesContextI'll show you where they're coming from. Follow along.
1) Create a new application.
2) Create three .jspx pages called login, error, and welcome.
3) Generate PageDef files for them by right-clicking on the file and selecting "Go To PageDefinition". You'll want these so that you may apply security against them.
4) Right-Click on your Application and select Secure->Configure ADF Security
5) ADF Authentication and Authorization -> Form Based Authentication (Use the search symbol to select your created login and error pages. Should be something like "/faces/login.jspx") -> No Automatic Grants -> Finish
Right-Click your welcome.jspx and select run. You'll get this error before your web page opens up in your browser and then proceeds to wig out.
<CodebasePolicyHandler> <migrateDeploymentPolicies> Migration of codebase policy failed. Reason: {0}.
oracle.security.jps.JpsException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: oracle.security.jps.internal.core.principals.JpsAnonymousRoleImplThat just won't do. Let's fix it, shall we?
6) Open your newly JDev created jazn-data.xml file. It's located in the Application Resources panel (usually located by Data Controls and your Projects expandable panels)
7) Resource Grants -> Resource Type (Web Page dropdown) -> error page should have a key symbol by it. Delete the anonymous role in the "Granted To" column. Now click the green button to add an Application Role. Huh, there's TWO of them? How bout that? Looks like we're going to have to delete some XML code!
8) Click the Source tab on the bottom of the page to open up the XML View. You'll see the following piece of erroneous code. Erroneous, I say!
<policy-store>
    <applications>
      <application>
        <name>SecurityError</name>
        <app-roles>
          // Hello, I'm the app role that has sucked away two hours of your life that you can never, ever get back
          <app-role>
            <name>anonymous-role</name>
            <class>oracle.security.jps.internal.core.principals.JpsAnonymousRoleImpl</class>
            <display-name>anonymous-role</display-name>
          </app-role>
         // Whew, the end of that app role
        </app-roles>
        <jazn-policy>
          <grant>9) You're going to want to delete that app role XML
10) Go back into your jazn-data.xml file and create some users. For example, bob and jane. Create an Enterprise role called "admin". Put bob and jane as members into this Enterprise role. Create an Application role called managers. Map managers to your Enterprise role admin.
11) Go back to the Resource Grants tab -> Resource Type (Web Page) and delete any "Granted To" authorizations that may assigned to any of the pages. Assigned a "Granted To" application role of "anonymous-role" to the error and login pages. Assign "managers" to welcome.
12) Run your welcome page. Yay, the error is gone. How sweet it is.
Now you want to refactor/move your login and error page somewhere else? Great, just right-click and select factor. Refactor to some place like /public_html/jspx/<your login page>.jspx. Re-run your welcome page.
// You fool!
Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not FoundThat's not so good. Let's fix that.
1) Open up web.xml. It's located at ViewController/WEB-INF/web.xml.
2) Click the security tab and you'll see Form-Based Authentication with a login page and error page. Click that Search glass and locate your new file. Do the same for the error page. You should see something like "/jspx/login.jspx" come back.
3) Re-run your welcome page.
// Suckered AGAIN!
Error 500--Internal Server Error
java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot find FacesContextThis is a tricky one. The search icon brings back a faulty address. Since we're using a .jspx page, it needs to be "/faces/jspx/login.jspx". Repeat for the error page. Re-run your welcome.jspx.
Ahh!! Now THAT's how we do it in Kingsport!
Finally, a custom .jspx login works. Now what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be playing some Diablo 3?

Ha :-)
Point being good summaries like yours tend to get lost on the forums because of the volume of posts. With a blog people have the chance to subscribe to your posts so it's just a better vehicle all round for posting content to help others.
I highly recommend writing blogs even if it's for scratch notes, because you'll learn a lot in structuring your thoughts. It's also a really good way to get noticed in the community because bloggers stand out.

Problem with ADF Security / SQL Authenticator after upgrade to 11.1.1.6

Hi,
We have an ADF application built with JDeveloper 11.1.1.2 that's been in production for a couple of years. Now we are in the process of upgrading to 11.1.1.6 so I have upgraded WLS and ADF in a test environment and re-deployed the application there. The application uses users and groups from database using SQL Authenticator configured in WLS. This worked fine in the old version but now after the upgrade we can't log in with credentials from the database. I can log in if I add a user to the default authenticator. We didn't touch any of the authenticator settings or security realm configurations during the upgrade. Both authenticators are marked as SUFFICIENT, as they have always been.
Has something changed in the way SQL Authenticator is used since 11.1.1.2? What could be the problem?
Regards,
Joonas

Answering myself here: after recreating the SQL Authenticator and the ADF Security configuration logins are working again. Don't know where the problem was though.

At work they asked me to integrate a existing SSO based in cookie with the new ADF + Jdeveloper 11g + WLS. After google for days and read a lot of blogs and official documentation I've made a custom LoginModule. I made it very simple, it's just an "if" inside the login() function with the username, if the username is "john" I put to the Subject some Principals. My steps are:
1- Create a new app based on "Fusion application" template.
2- Make a new ADF Taskflow with only one view inside (the entry point of the taskflow). The jspx only contains a welcome message.
3- Run the ADF Security wizard, all the steps with the default option, I don't change anything.
4- Put some users and some roles in jazn-data.xml, and maping them to an application role. Then I grant permissions to the application role to view the previous task flow.
At this point everything is ok. I run the taskflow and a basic login popup prompts me to write my username and password. Now I try to remove everything useless for me, like idstore, credentials, anonymous, etc. I only want a LoginModule that get the HttpRequest and passes it to an already done class that returns a true/false depending if the cookie is correct or not but, as I said before, my LoginModule is so simple now and even didn't try to do something more complicated than an if. The steps I try are:
in jps-config.xml
5- Remove idstore.xml and credentials.
6- (loginmodule tab) Make a new login module, and put here my class. The class is in the ViewController project and JDeveloper find it navigating through the heriarchy, so I have visibility. I put REQUIRE flag, add all roles and debug mode.
7- In the security context unmark the idstore.loginmodule and mark myLoginModule. Also delete the anonymous security context.
All that I got until now is a 500 error (Internal server error - Authorization Exception). Sometimes (the close i've ever been to do something correct) the browser ask me for user/password but then only recognizes the users that already are in WLS (idstore from previous tests), but NOT the "john" user that is inside my custom LoginModule. Even more, if I run the WLS from JDeveloper 11g in debug mode, the runtime never stops at breakpoints inside my custom login module. It seems that my LoginModule isn't deployed or I made some error maping the roles.
So, my questions are:
- I'm in the good way? If I want an authentication based in cookie/httprequest I have to do a custom LoginModule? My goal is to do a re-usable code, and re-use the code that my co-workers have done. They have a class that with only the HttpRequest determines if a user is logged or not.
- If I'm in the good way... how can I put my custom LoginModule in the WLS? I tried to search something in the Administration Panel (localhost:7101/console) but I did'nt find nothing.
- In case I'd got the custom LoginModule working fine in WLS... how can I get a HttpRequest from a LoginModule and avoid the username/password dialog? I've to make a filter and pass it to the my LoginModule? If it's correct... how?
I don't post my code because is so simple, it's based on DBTableLoginModule but without all the database access code.
Thanks to all!
P.D.: If this message isn't in the correct forum, I'm sorry. Feel free to move it.
P.D.2: Sorry about my english, I'm spanish. I know i've to practise a lot :)

Hi Frank,
Thanks a lot for your answer. Just one more easy question: what I need to do is a custom Authentication Module (which will read the cookie)? If only you can point me to the correct chapter of the WLS documentation I'll be very pleased.
In future releases of JDeveloper will be easier to do this kind of things related to security?

Need to solve serious security problem with Oracle Reports URL

As mentioned repeatedly on this forum, Oracle Reports allows serious security breaches that allow users to see reports that they did not generate -- it's easy to guess a legal URL by changing the getjobid parameter.
I've reviewed the JavaDocs to part of the rwrun.jar file and reviewed some of the example report plugins. This shows promise in helping to solve this security problem but critical pieces are missing.
1) The javadocs are accurate for only 10g (9.0.4) but not correct for 10g (10.1.2+), which we are currently using. I need access to the updated version of this javadoc.
2) Even with the updated version of the JavaDoc, I haven't found a class from which to inherit that would give me the opportunity to generate random jobid values, which then would effectively prevent users from guessing other jobid values, and thereby gaining access to other's reports (which in our cases, may contain sensitive information.
3) We have found that we can send the parameter=value of EXPIRATION=1 which helps protect such information, but this requires that every program which invokes a report be modified to add this parameter. It would be far better for the report server to be configured to use a java class we write that inherits from some rwrun.jar class that would by default, add the EXPIRATION=1 parameter.

Hi,
Thanks for our replies. I will ask to an administrator about this security problem, now I know it depends of a security parameter.
But I would know if it could be possible to hide the technical name of the query in the url. It could improve the security level of our reports in a first time in this way.
Thanks a lot,
JW.

Adf security with upper case user results in 500-internal server error

Hello
JDev 11.1.1.0.2, Integrated WLS
I'v set up ADF security as explained in the documentation.
The only difference being that the role test-all has been removed.
I have one user 'paul' with a password of 'password'
I have one application role 'myrole'
'paul' is a member of 'myrole'
I have one unbounded task flow with one view (view1).
Via the janz-data.xml 'View1' has been granted to 'myrole' (view action)
When running View1 I get the login.html page which is correct.
The fun starts when playing around with the user/password.
If I login with 'paul' and 'password' view1 is display, this is correct
If I login with an unknown user or an incorrect password Windows Explorer 7 shows a generic HTTP 403 error page and not the error.html
If I login with 'PAUL' and 'password' (or Paul, or any mixed cased version of Paul with the correct password) I get the following stack trace :

Process of login with ADF security

Hi,
I was looking at how to implement the process of Login with the ADF security using JDev 11g and I feel very good...
My question is if it is possible to use this tool in case of use a container as Tomcat 6.x or JBoss. If it is possible to use ADF security for these containers, what should be configured to work?

Hi,
ok, I'd like to use authorization with ADF security, but as you say it is not possible in Tomcat. well, but could implement it, if there must be 3 users with different roles of the little system that I want to develop. Any idea?. There maybe a small example with user roles to use without authorization of ADF security?.

Oracle ADF security integration with Oracle E-Business Suite SDK JAAS

I have an Oracle ADF 11.1.2.2 application that is using ADF security for authentication and authorization.
When we deploy this application to our JDeveloper integrated weblogic server, we utilize the security setting of "Custom" and use weblogic users and roles to map to the ADF application roles. In that environment our security is working properly.
I have a Weblogic 10.3.5 standalone server that has the ADF runtime installed as well as the Oracle E-Business Suite SDK JAAS implementation installed.
When I deploy the Oracle ADF application to the standalone weblogic server, I am directed to the JAAS login page when I attempt to access any JSF page (including those that I have granted View access through the anonymous-role. Does the Oracle ADF anonymous-role work (allow for anonymous page access) when JAAS security is handled by the Oracle E-Business Suite SDK JAAS implementation?
Per the SDK instructions, when we install the Oracle ADF deployment on Weblogic we have selected "DD only" for our security setting. We have defined enterprise roles in the Oracle ADF security setup (jazn-data.xml) that are assigned the appropriate application roles. Those enterprise roles have the same name (i.e. UMX|YOURROLE) as the E-Business Suite roles that are assigned to our test users. When we login with an E-Business Suite user / password we are receiving an error:
Error 401--Unauthorized
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.2 401 Unauthorized
Any thoughts on why that would be?
Thanks
Dan

Thanks Juan.
With the debugging options enabled it appears the issue is not an issue with the user / role credentials - it seems like the resource grants from jazn-data.xml are not being reviewed in my standalone weblogic instance EAR deployment:

When I access the same page from my integrated weblogic server I see:

When I review my EAR - I do see jazn-data.xml at:

I will review the system-jazn-data.xml to see if the policy information has been migrated properly as part of the EAR deployment.
Thanks.

ADF Security integration with Web Logic Security using SQL authenticator

Hi,
I was trying to find a suitable way of handling the following requirements:
1. Administrators should be able to create the roles, groups, users and assign users to roles.
2. User, Roles, Groups should be stored in DB and Users need to be authenticated accordingly.
3. I need to be able to map roles with security permissions on Taskflows, JSF Pages, on UI level using groovy expressions and even at Entities level.
I performed the following tasks:
1. I created back end Security tables, created SQL authenticator as provider and defined the queries in it then I created ADF Application and used JMX APIs to call the SQL authenticator to perform its operations.
2. I defined the roles and respective resource permissions in ADF i.e. Jazn xml file because my requirement no 3 would not be achievable without using ADF security.
Now in this scenario how I can login a user in ADF context and assign roles programmatically that I authenticated from JMX APIs? Or is there any other suitable way to handle these requirements?
Thanks.
-Moeen

Hi Charu,
Thanks for your reply.
Can we programmatically add a user in adfsecuritycontext as a currently logged in user, a user which is not present in jazn.xml file? If yes then can we programmatically assign the roles which are defined in jazn.xml to that specific user?
