Unable to make OBIEE components SSO enabled

Hi,
I have installed OBIEE 10.1.3.4 in windows env.
I tried to SSO enble all the components that comes within OC4J of cluster (ascontrol, bi office..).
From the OC4J instance admin security provider section, I checked all these applications to use SSO and JAZN (file based user repository).
This way only Appliaction server (ascontrol) got SSO enabled not the other components in the oc4j. Am I missing something?
Thanks
Saikrishna

Thank you very much for reply.
After doing little research I found out that somehow I need to use SSPI to get the user credentials.
I have no idea how can I use SSPI in java. Please let me know if you know about any third party DLL that do this. Do I need to use JNI to use SSPI in java code?
Thanks.

EBusiness Suite User Management Provision - SSO Enabled

Hello,
I am having a hard time provisioning to ebusiness suite 12; it is SSO enabled with OID as the LDAP Repository.
I am able to
1.provision userid testuser1 to OID.
2.provision userid oimuser1 to ebusiness (I have not enabled SSO in the connector configuration at this point)
When I try to provision user oimuser1 to OID, it says a duplicate entry already exists.
Unabled to call fnd_ldap_wrapper.create_user due to the following reason:
ORA-20001: Unabled to call fnd_ldap_wrapper.create_user due to the following reason:

I also tried connector config with SSO Enabled parameters.
SSO Enabled - Yes
SSO IT Resource - OID IT Resource (resource name of OID)
SSO Identifier - orclGUID
SSO Login Attribute - uid
While provisioning the user to ebiz (sso enabled) - I provided the SSO Userid, same as idm user id, it gave me error it does not exist.
And if I leave the field blank- it gives me error stating Input field is blank.
Can someone please guide me through it?
Thanks & Regards,

How to make use of SSO login credentials of oracle in Authentication shema using APEX

Hi
I am using SSO login for Authorizations. Would like make use of SSO for creating authentication schema. I would appreciate if someone can help me on this. My main requirement is to assign privilege based on users using SSO loging.

Here's an example.
I create a new application in APEX called Master with Application ID = 100. I modify some templates, create some LOV's in this master template.
I create a 2nd application in APEX called Subscriber with Application ID = 101.
In 101 I go to Shared Components => List of Values => Create. Choose to create as a copy of an existing list of values. In the dropdown, I choose Master (100) and click Next. You then are presented with all of the LOV's from your master application. First off you want to change the name from Copy of <LOV> to just <LOV> more because it is kind of confusing if you don't. In the copy drop-down, this where you choose Copy and Subscribe.
The way it works is that once an object subscribes, you always make changes to that object in Master (100), and there is a button to push that change to all subscribing applications. So if you have 30 applications subscribing to that one LOV, you just make the change once, push it to the subscribers and they are now up to date.
Keep in mind it doesn't work with all objects and only certain objects may be subscribed to. Objects like Application Processes for instance do not have a subscription feature, but you could use packages to keep common logic and just reference the same package anywhere you need it.
What I ended up doing was to create a master and a subscription application. The subscription template has no actual pages, just subscriptions to templates and LOV's that I need. Whenever I need a new application, I just create a new application as a copy of that subscription application and my subscriptions are already setup for me.
Check out the documentation and just search for Subscribe or Subscription and it should explain pretty much what I did above.

Unable to make in app purchases

I have seen many posts about being unable to make in app purchases but they all seem to be about being unable to access iTunes or purchaces don't go through etc but I have not seen my issue. When I go to in app purchases it shows the available purchases but the links are not active. there is no "buy" button etc. It shows the purchase price but when i try to buy there is no response. It is like a dead link. Any thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this. It seems to be for any app that has in app purchases. I've tried on both my iPhone 4s and iPad mini. I've tried logging out and then back in with iTunes and Ive tried turning the devices off and then back on. Same result. Ive uninstalled and re installed the app (which is Agricola, although no in app purchases from any app work) And In App purchases are enabled.

thanks for your reply, unfortunately the problem is not due to restrictions being enabled. It doesn't seem to matter if I am on my iPhone, iPad or computer. It doesn't work on my husbands phone either, so that leaves me to believe it is not an issue with devices, but with the store. My next step will to be to get in touch with Apple.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

Found the problem. On Vista as well wifi as standard nic are enabled. Although it should not happen, the wifi-address/mac is used to download content. When we added the wifi network as boundary, problem was solved.

TS3297 Apple ID is locked and unable to make purchases

When I try to puchase an Album I get an error that says "Apple ID is locked and unable to make purchases"

Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your iPad then try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

How can i make my printer BT enabled?

Hi,
i have a powerbook with BT, and i thought it would be nice to connect between my pb and my printer (canon i960) wirelessly. so, i bought an Iogear print adapter for bluetooth (GBP301) hoping that it would make my printer BT enabled. i plugged the adapter to my printer and i tried to set it up using the BT setup assistant>select device type>Printer, but it has some problem. the setup assistant can find the printer, although when i tried to select the printer, it says "driver not installed", and doesn't let me go any further. the driver for this printer, however, is already installed in my pb, so when i connect the printer directly to my pb using a usb cable, i can print. Can anyone help me with this problem? thanks!!!

As a general rule, 'universal' WiFi and Bluetooth printer adapters do not seem to work well with Mac OS X and printers.
I suspect it is all OSs, not just OS X. I have a PowerBook, an evil Windows laptop, and a second even more evil Windows laptop from work.
We have both a HP 7410 and a Canon Pixima, both of which claim to support Bluetooth.
I foolishly bought two generic USB-Bluetooth adaptors, and my PowerBook has built-in Bluetooth.
So far I have been unable to get either printer to work with any of the computers. I studied the HP 7410 manual extensively and concluded that they have instructions for connecting the printer to a cell phone or a camera via bluetooth, but the concept of connecting the printer to a computer is not discussed.
Thge HP 7410 does show up in the PowerBook's list of available devices, so I know it is there and communication has been established. So far there does not appear to be a suitable driver available for either the HP or the Canon.
Being a complete tightwad, I am not about to spend the exhorbitant amounts HP or Canon wants for their Bluetooth adaptors. I suspect that even if I did buy the adaptors, the lack of a suitable driver would still make it not work.

Unable to make microphone to work on NVIDIA MCP55 onboard sound card

Hello.
Some time ago, I bought a nice HP xw9400 Workstation (with Dual Core AMD Opteron 2216) from Germany. Despite it's starting to become old by today's standards for some stuff like gaming, it's still quite okay to use and the SAS HDD makes it boot fastly. And it has one of the best cases, you can plug PCI/PCIe/PCI-X cards very easily and it's very nice to change or add HDDs. Maybe I'll upgrade the CPUs (I can upgrade the bios and it seems it can support better CPUs) if I find them on eBay or other place.
I have less problems with Arch than the rest of distributions, but I still have weird issues. Despite my computer hardware is somewhat old, I still experience weird problems everywhere (it seems I have some kind of weird "luck").
I have problems using my microphone under Arch with "NVIDIA Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)" onboard sound card , here is the relevant info.

I also tried create /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and add the following line to it...
options snd-hda-intel model=6stack
And no luck! I tried it and still appear both "Rear Mic" and "Front Mic". I'll provide a screenshot later.
I'm starting to understand this, maybe it can help me...

I tested both sound hardware by using arecord and audacity, no luck at all

I had an Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Pro, but removed it to see if there was some problem. I'm still unable to use my Microphone even on onboard audio hardware. I'll try to use it once I have the microphone working
Regards.

Sorry, that was wrong, I meant
arecord -l
Have you tried making a virtual loopback device like above and using
arecord -vv -fdat out.wav
You should see the #### fluctuate as you speak into the mic. If not, then unmute and turn up your mic in alsamixer. That loopback device will allow you to capture your sound card and hear it at the same time. Another way to do it is to use a jumper from line out to line in on your sound device. You won't be able to hear it while you record though.
If your sound device works, then you can capture what's going through it. You'll need to determine which vitual device your mic is.
Example
arecord -l
