Updating a Property in my Custom Authenticator MBean
I have created a custom AuthenticationProvider. It is configured through an
MBean produced by WebLogicMBeanMaker from my XML file. I have a custom
property in the XML file with a default value. My AuthenticationProvider is
able to get the bean and read back the default value.
Now, I wish to change that value to something else to allow uses to
configure the provider. The documentation clearly says that I will be
unable to use the Weblogic Console to do this and will have to use the
command line "weblogic.Admin" application to do it. This is fine, but I
cannot figure out how to access or modify my MBean.
How do I know the MBeans name or type? The MBean generated is called
WeblogicCarbonAuthenticatorMBean.java
I have tried (I have not include username/password in this post for brevity)
java weblogic.Admin GET -type WeblogicCarbonAuthenticator
No MBeans found
java weblogic.Admin GET -type Authenticator
No MBeans found
No success.
I also deployed a pair of JSPs called listMBeans.jsp and showMBean.jsp,
which claim to show me all the MBeans deployed. Searching through the list
I see nothing with the world "Carbon" or "Authenticator" in it.
How can I find/configure my Authenticator MBeans?
Thanks

Getting there! I can now look at my bean, but I cannot seem to update it.
There is a string property on the MBean called "UserManagerLocation" that I
need the end user to be able to update to their appropriate location.
I am able to use the weblogic.Admin utility to query the MBean, but not to
update.
So here is my query:
java weblogic.Admin -pretty GET -mbean
Security:Name=myrealmWeblogicCarbonAuthenticator
MBeanName: "Security:Name=myrealmWeblogicCarbonAuthenticator"
ControlFlag: REQUIRED
Description: Carbon Authentication Provider adapts authentication
behavior to the User Manager Service
ProviderClassName:
com.sapient.services.security.auth.weblogic7.WeblogicCarbonAuthenticationPro
vider
Realm: Security:Name=myrealm
UserManagerLocation: /security/management/test/RdbmsUserManager
Version: 4.2
But here is my failing update:
java weblogic.Admin SET -mbean
Security:Name=myrealmWeblogicCarbonAuthenticator -property
UserManagerLocation "/security/management/RdbmsUserManager"
MBean not specified for setting of attributes. Value UserManagerLocation for
parameter ["9"]Get rid of the "'s around the Value. If that does not work, try
something like this,
java weblogic.Admin SET -mbean
Security:Name=myrealmWeblogicCarbonAuthenticator -commotype -property
UserManagerLocation /security/management/RdbmsUserManager
If that does not work, please open a support case with BEA.

But, inside my MBean descriptor I've got it set as writable:
<MBeanType
Name = "WeblogicCarbonAuthenticator"
DisplayName = "WeblogicCarbonAuthenticator"
Package = "com.sapient.services.security.auth.weblogic7"
Extends =
"weblogic.management.security.authentication.Authenticator"

</MBeanType>
Any clue why I am unable to update the attribute from the command line?

Jordan,
You can use weblogic.Admin utility to change values of your custom MBean
if you know the object name of your MBean.

No success.

How can I find/configure my Authenticator MBeans?I assume that you are using 7.0sp1, if not please upgrade to sp1. You
should see a file called CommoConfig.xm.booted file under your domain
directory, this file contains all the security MBeans that the server
found. You should be able to get the object names of your custom mbeans
from this file.
Hope it helped,

The trouble is that it looks like it's not able to compile the classes that are supposed to be in the tempFileDirForSchema package. I am trying to follow the documentation and examples from the 9.0 documentation, and using the 8.1 samples when there isn't an updated 9.0 version available.
I figure the class compiling problems are the cause of this error I get when starting weblogic after deploying my authenticator:

New server and/or CA certificate for connection from custom authentication
We are running Access Manager version 72005Q4 in the Sun ONE Web Server 6.1SP5 B06/23/2005 container with java build 1.5.0_07-b03. I run a custom authentication module which checks sessions against our university single sign on system which is CAS (from Yale/Jasig). The checks are essentially https calls. All this has been working well for us for the last couple of years.
I would like to migrate the certificate used on the university CAS system from a Verisign certificate to a wildcard certificate issued by the IPS CA in spain -- these are in most browsers but are not in the standard batch of cacerts CA's -- and are free for .edu domains.
My other java based authentication plugins (Blackboard, custom apps etc) have worked fine once I import the certificate into the cacerts for the java container, but I'm missing something (obvious probably) about importing this certificate so that my amserver custom authentication module can connect to the CAS server once the CAS server is using the new certificate.
Could anyone provide guidance on where I need to import this server certificate (or preferably the IPS CA) in order to allow the custom authentication module to work properly? I assume this same problem has been solved by people wishing to connect from the amserver to services with self signed certificates. For some reason I'm finding the debugging unexpectedly difficult, I'll outline some of those details below.
Relevant things I've tried so far:
Import both the server cert and the IPS CA into the cacerts of the java container identified in the web server server.xml /usr/jdk/entsys-j2se.
Import the IPS CA into the web server cert8 style db via the web admin server.
The debugging has surprised me a bit, as I'm not getting an error that is explicitly SSL related error. It almost seems like the URLConnection object ends up using a HttpURLConnection rather than an HttpsURLConnection and never gives me a cert error, rather a connection refused since there is no non SSL service running on CAS. The same code pointed to the server running the verisign cert works as expected.

uc.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");

String line;
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
while ((line = r.readLine()) != null)
buf.append(line + "\n");
return buf.toString();
} finally { ...
The fact that this same code in other authentication modules running outside the amserver (in other web containers as well, tomcat and resin for example) running java 1.5 works fine with the new CA, as well as with self signed certs that I've imported into the appropriate cacerts file leads me to believe that I'm either importing the certificate into the wrong store, or that there is some additional step needed for the amserver in the Sun Web container.
Thank you very much for any insights and help,
EthanI thought since this has had a fair number of views I would give an update.
I have been able to confirm that the custom authentication module is using the cert8 db defined in the AMConfig property com.iplanet.am.admin.cli.certdb.dir as documented. I do seem to have a problem using the certificate to make outgoing connections, even though the certificate verifies correctly for use as a server certificate. This is likely a question for a different forum, but just to show what I'm looking at:
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -V -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -u V
certutil: certificate is valid
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -V -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -u C
certutil: certificate is invalid: Certificate type not approved for application.
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -M -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -t uP,uP,uP
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -V -l -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -u C
FSU Wildcard Certificate : Certificate type not approved for application.
So it could be that I don't understand how to use the certutiil to get the permissions I want, or it could be that using the same certificate for both server and client functions is not supported -- though you can see why this would be a common case with wildcard certificates.
BTW for those interested, it did seem to be the case that when the certificate failure occurred that the attempt was then made by the URLConnection to bind to port 80 in cleartext even though the URL was clearly https. I'm sure this was just an attempt to help out misformed URL, but it seemed that the URLConnection implementation in the amserver would swapped traffic over cleartext if that port had been open on the server I was making the https connection to; that seems dangerous to me, I would not have wanted it to quietly work that way exposing sensitive information to the network.
This was why I was getting back a connection refused instead of a certificate exception. The URLConnection implementation used by the amserver is defined by java.protocol.handler.pkgs=com.iplanet.services.comm argument passwd to the JVM, and I imagine this is done because the amserver pre-dates the inclusion of the sun.net.www.protocol handlers, but I don't know, there maybe reasons why the amserver wants it own handler. I only noticed that this is what was going on when I as casting the httpsURLConnection objects to other types trying to diagnose the certificate problem. I would be interested in hearing if anyone knows if there is a reason not to use sun.net.www.protocol with the amserver.
After switching to the sun.net.www.protocol handler I was able to get my certificate errors rather than the "Connection Refused" which is what lead me to the above questions about certutil. -
How to make the JMX custom authentication work ?
I am using the password and access file based authentication on JMX. When building my JMXConnectorServer, i use the property names and it works fine.
Map<String, String> env = new HashMap<String, String>();
env.put(ApplicationProperties.JMX_PWD_FILE_PROP, pwdFile);
env.put(ApplicationProperties.JMX_ACCESS_FILE_PROP, accFile);
connectorServer = JMXConnectorServerFactory.newJMXConnectorServer(jmxServiceURL, env, mBeanServer);However, now i want to use a custom authenticator and i implemented my own LoginModule to have a encrypted password in the password file. Thus the ideas is to have an encrypted password and plain text user name in the password file.
public class ABCDJMXLoginModule implements LoginModule {
private CallbackHandler callbackHandler;
private Subject subject;
private String u_username;
private String u_password;
private JMXPrincipal user;
private Properties userCredentials;
private String passwordFile;

private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(ABCDJMXLoginModule.class);
public boolean abort() throws LoginException {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return true;
public void initialize(Subject subject, CallbackHandler callbackHandler, Map<String, ?> sharedState,
Map<String, ?> options) {
this.subject = subject;
this.callbackHandler = callbackHandler;
public boolean login() throws LoginException {

attemptLogin();
loadPasswordFile();
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.info("Exception, e");
if (u_username == null || u_password == null) {
throw new LoginException("Either no username or no password specified");
logger.info("Password from user and file : " + u_password + " :: " + f_password);
if (u_password.equals(f_password)) {
return true;
return false;
public boolean logout() throws LoginException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return true;
private void attemptLogin() throws LoginException {
Callback[] callbacks = new Callback[2];
callbacks[0] = new NameCallback("u_username");
callbacks[1] = new PasswordCallback("u_password", false);
try {
callbackHandler.handle(callbacks);
} catch (IOException e) {
logger.error("IOException", e);
} catch (UnsupportedCallbackException e) {
logger.error("UnsupportedCallbackException", e);
u_username = ((NameCallback) callbacks[0]).getName();
user = new JMXPrincipal(u_username);
char[] tmpPassword = ((PasswordCallback) callbacks[1]).getPassword();
u_password = tmpPassword.toString();
logger.info("UserName : " + u_username);
logger.info("Password : " + u_password);
System.arraycopy(tmpPassword, 0, u_password, 0, tmpPassword.length);
((PasswordCallback) callbacks[1]).clearPassword();
private void loadPasswordFile() throws IOException {
FileInputStream fis = null;
passwordFile = "c:\\abcd.jmx.enc.password.file";
try {
fis = new FileInputStream(passwordFile);
} catch (SecurityException e) {
logger.error("Security Exception", e);
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
userCredentials = new Properties();
userCredentials.load(bis);
bis.close();
f_username = u_username;
f_password = (String) userCredentials.get(f_username);
logger.info("UserName before Decrypt : " + f_username);
logger.info("Password from file before Decrypt : " + f_password);
// decrypt the password from file and later compare it with user password from JConsole
if (f_password != null) f_password = Cryptography.decrypt(f_password);
logger.info("Password from file after Decrypt : " + f_password);
}When i use the following code and try to connect via JConsole nothing happens.
Map<String, String> env = new HashMap<String, String>();
env.put(ApplicationProperties.JMX_PWD_FILE_PROP, pwdFile);
env.put(ApplicationProperties.JMX_ACCESS_FILE_PROP, accFile);
env.put("jmx.remote.x.login.config", "com.splwg.ejb.service.management.ABCDJMXLoginModule");
connectorServer = JMXConnectorServerFactory.newJMXConnectorServer(jmxServiceURL, env, mBeanServer);Any ideas on why this happens ? For sure, i am also not coming into the ABCDJMXLoginModule class - I have some print statements there and none of them get printed. Any sort of ideas and solutions are appreciated. I tried with the property "com.sun.management.jmxremote.login.config" too. I was expecting that mentioning the property in the environment and passing it to the JMXCOnnectorServer would do all the trick.
Am i missing something ?Hello dcloko_BR,
I downloaded and installed Lenovo´s The Lenovo Solution Center and now the solution center starts after pressing the blue button. Perhaps give it a try.
Edit: Upps sorry, only newer models are supported according to the readme.txt.

Custom Authenticator not returning correctly
Hi,
I have written a custom authenticator to automatically migrate users from an oracle
SSO database into the default WLS8.1 realm (and ultimately to an LDAP Realm).
It all works fine, except that the over all login process fails.
The server is set up to use the default Authenticator initially (set to SUFFICIENT),
then, if this fails, the Migration authenticator (set to REQUIRED) is called.
If this finds the user on the Oracle db, it creates a user for them in the default
realm, and logs them in.
The problem is that even though my Migration Authenticator finishes successfully
(ie the commit() method is executed and returns true) WLS still calls the login
error page as set up in the web.xml file.
The last few lines of the login() method of the authenticator are :
loginSucceeded = true;
addUserToWLSRealm(userId, userPassword);
principalsForSubject.add(new WLSUserImpl(userId));
then the commit() method is :
public boolean commit() throws LoginException {
if(loginSucceeded) {
subject.getPrincipals().addAll(principalsForSubject);
principalsInSubject = true;
System.out.println("OracleSSOLoginModule.commit - true");
return true;
} else {
System.out.println("OracleSSOLoginModule.commit - false");
return false;
If the user then tries to log in again, since they have been added to the WLS
realm, they are let in, but it should happen on the first attempt.
Any Ideas...?
TIA

then, if this fails, the Migration authenticator (set to REQUIRED) iscalled.
If this finds the user on the Oracle db, it creates a user for them in thedefault
realm, and logs them in.
The problem is that even though my Migration Authenticator finishessuccessfully
(ie the commit() method is executed and returns true) WLS still calls thelogin
error page as set up in the web.xml file.
Turn on security debugging and see if you are getting a login exception
in the debug output - set the DebugSecurityAtn attribute in the ServerDebug
mbean. -
Custom Authentication Module on Identity Server
Hi,
I have a custom authentication module which I am trying to access through the policy agent.
I have set the following property in AMAgent.properties file
com.sun.am.policy.am.loginURL= http://host:port/amserver/UI/Login?module=CustomLoginModule.
My login module code is something like this:
package com.iplanet.am.samples.authentication.providers;
import java.util.*;
import javax.security.auth.Subject;
import javax.security.auth.callback.Callback;
import javax.security.auth.callback.NameCallback;
import javax.security.auth.callback.PasswordCallback;
import javax.security.auth.login.LoginException;
import com.sun.identity.authentication.spi.AMLoginModule;
import com.sun.identity.authentication.spi.AuthLoginException;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.util.Properties;
public class LoginModule1 extends AMLoginModule
private String userName;
private String userTokenId;
private HashMap usersMap;
private java.security.Principal userPrincipal = null;
public LoginModule1() throws LoginException
public void init(Subject subject, Map sharedState, Map options)
System.out.println("LoginModule1 initialization");
usersMap = new HashMap();
ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("users");
Enumeration users = bundle.getKeys();
while (users.hasMoreElements())
String user = (String)users.nextElement();
String password = bundle.getString(user.trim());
usersMap.put(user, password);
public int process(Callback[] callbacks, int state) throws AuthLoginException
int currentState = state;
if (currentState == 1)
userName = ((NameCallback) callbacks[0]).getName().trim();
char[] passwd = ((PasswordCallback) callbacks[1]).getPassword();
String passwdString = new String (passwd);
if (userName.equals(""))
throw new AuthLoginException("names must not be empty");
if (userName.equals("testuser") && passwdString.equals("testuser"))
userTokenId = userName;
return -1;
if (usersMap.containsKey(userName))
if (usersMap.get(userName).equals(new String(passwd)))
userTokenId = userName;
return -1;
return 0;
public java.security.Principal getPrincipal()
if (userPrincipal != null)
return userPrincipal;
else
if (userTokenId != null)
userPrincipal = new SamplePrincipal("testuser");
return userPrincipal;
else
return null;
So When the user requests a protected resource, the policy agent forwards the user to Identity Server with the module as CustomLoginModule. However, after this, authentication does not succeed and I get the following error message in the agent log file.

The necessary policy object is already created in Identity Server. Please send your suggestions to fix this problem.
Thanks
SrinivasDoes the principal "testuser" exist in your realm? If I understand your module correctly, it looks like it always returns "testuser".
I am guessing that Access Manager is not finding your principal. Typically if access manager cannot associate the principal returned by the custom AMLoginModule it will fail the authentication.
I am wondering if this is related to a seperate problem I have seen with custom login modules. Try chaning the code to return an LDAP style principal it may work:
so return "uid=testuser,ou=People,dc=yourdomain,dc=com" for example. In theory this should not be necessary but it solved some problems for me, though I am not sure why. -
Custom Authenticator WL startup exception
Hi, I am using Weblogic 9.2 on Linux and have created an example custom authenticator.
I have followed several suggested method for creation/deployment, but still am having a exception upon startup and hoping someone could help.
from a previous post I have used the below instructions and have deployed the jar in $WL_HOME/server/lib/mbeantypes

Can anyone have any ideas?
I have narrowed it down to having a problem retrieving the role and policy consumer services I believe
Thanks,
Bobby.Hi All,
Found the reason for the exception. I was implementing the generated the CustomAuthenticatorImpl class (generated through WebLogic MBeanMaker utility) as the provider class by implementing the AuthenticationProvider interface. Keeping them separate solved the issue.
Able to create the jar without any issues and also no error or exception after restart.
Thanks. -
Custom Authentication Provider and User Manage like SQLAuthenticator, How?
Hi everyone,
I faced a problem with login function of my portal (Webcenter Application). The Problem is:
- Allow the users logging in by user that store in another system. I must communicate using low level of socket. This really is not a problem.
- If user logged in, for first time of logging in, i must store them in some identity store (Maybe tables database).
- View Users in Weblogic Console. To do that, i known that i must implemeted something that i dont what that are.
Here are my work:
- I Created a Custom Authentication Provider. And configuration in Admin Console. But i don't know what are that i should implementing to View user & group in Admin Console.
- I Cannot logging in: After i created simple application for testing, i cannot logging in even i tested with SQLAuthenticator Provider and original DefaultProvider. In Logging Console, I saw every I Printed In The Code of Login Module.

Can someome help.
Thanks in advance!Hi ,
SQLAuthenticator is not yet supported with UCM 11g due to some JPS Provider limitations .
Currently there is an Enhancement request for this .

Thank you very much!When i login with the password and username from my custom authentication provider, my login module check ok, but logon form still there.

Custom Authentication Issue with Policy Agent
Hi,
I have a custom authentication module which is hosted on the BEA application server and I am trying to access through the policy agent on apache.
I have set the following property in AMAgent.properties file
com.sun.am.policy.am.loginURL= http://host:port/amserver/UI/Login
So When the user requests a protected resource, the policy agent forwards the user to Identity Server with the module as CustomLoginModule. However, after this, authentication is succeed, user sesion is being created and I get the following error message in the agent log file.
2004-10-19 16:20:26.908 Error 27620:e1140 PolicyEngine: am_policy_evaluate: InternalException in Service::construct_auth_svc with error message:Application authentication failed during service creation. and code:3

Apex Custom Authentication Schema Page Sentry Error
Hi,
I am using Application Express 4.0.0. I am struggling with a strange problem while trying to implement custom authentication schema.
I declare a page sentry function 'page_sentry' which returns TRUE or FALSE based on certain conditions. My page_sentry is as follows:
FUNCTION PAGE_SENTRY RETURN BOOLEAN
IS
l_username VARCHAR2(512);
l_session_id NUMBER;
BEGIN
IF USER != 'APEX_PUBLIC_USER' THEN
RETURN false;
END IF;
l_session_id := wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.get_session_id_from_cookie;
-- check application session cookie.
IF wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.is_session_valid THEN
apex_application.g_instance := l_session_id;
l_username := wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.get_username;
wwv_flow_custom_auth.define_user_session(
p_user => l_username, p_session_id => l_session_id);
RETURN true;
ELSE
--redirect to login page using OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL
END IF;
RETURN false;
END page_sentry;
And Cookie Name : _AUTH
At first, It always returned FALSE. I wasn't getting any error. However, even after forcibly returning TRUE from the page_sentry function the redirect was still not happening. I tried to look into what cookies were being set for the same and I found this:
Name: ApexLibErrorStack1
Content: page%3D1%3Cbr%20%2F%3EERR-1201%20session%20ID%20not%20set%20on%20custom%20authentication
I couldn't find any relevant help for this. Worst of it is I cannot set any cookie from the page_sentry function at all. Please help!Hi all.
Can someone please help me out with the above issue. I am not sure if things are wrong at my end or is this an apex bug.
--Update:
The source of my problem perhaps lies in the manner in which I have configured my Oracle HTTP Server. When I disable port HTTP server on port 80 and run apex without it on default port 8080, the custom authentication schema cookie gets set.
Executing the following with Oracle HTTP Server:
OWA_UTIL.PRINT_CGI_ENV;
gives:
HTTP_COOKIE = ApexLibErrorStack1=page%3D1%3Cbr%20%2F%3EERR-1201%20session%20ID%20not%20set%20on%20custom%20authentication.; ORA_WWV_R1=%23ALL; ORA_WWV_R2=%23ALL; ORA_WWV_R3=%23ALL
And without HTTP Server:
gives:
HTTP_COOKIE = WWV_CUSTOM-F_1420403886791332_100=9625AAC49B9951D8;......
Did I miss something in my HTTP server configuration ?

OWA_SEC.CUSTOM package - Custom authentication procedures...
Folks -
I haven't ever used the OWA_SEC.CUSTOM package for custom authentication of a psp application - and now need to do so. The documentation doesn't have any examples of what I need to do. Although there is plenty of documentation - it all says the same stuff, without saying what developers need to do to get it to work.
For example I have updated the following files in the following ways - and still it doesn't work:
owapriv.sql - updated the line that says:
auth_scheme := OWA_SEC.NO_CHECK;
to :
auth_scheme := OWA_SEC.CUSTOM;
owacust.sql - updated to say:
create or replace package body OWA_CUSTOM is
/* Global PLSQL Agent Authorization callback function - */
/* It is used when PLSQL Agent's authorization scheme is set to */
/* GLOBAL or CUSTOM when there is overriding OWA_CUSTOM package.*/
/* This is a default implementation. User should modify. */
function authorize return boolean is
v_username varchar2(30);
v_pass varchar2(30);
BEGIN
owa_sec.set_authorization(OWA_SEC.CUSTOM);
owa_sec.set_protection_realm('my_app');
v_username := owa_sec.get_user_id;
v_pass := owa_sec.get_password;
IF v_username = 'cmanning' THEN
return TRUE;
ELSE
return FALSE;
END IF;
end;
end;
show errors
wdbsvrapp.sql looks like this:
[DAD_mydad]
connect_string = my_connect_string
password = my_password
username = my_username
default_page = my_default_package.procedure
;document_table =
;document_path =
;document_proc =
;upload_as_long_raw =
;upload_as_blob =
name_prefix =
;always_describe =
;after_proc =
;before_proc =
reuse = Yes
connmax = 20
;pathalias =
;pathaliasproc =
enablesso = No
;custom_auth =
Can anyone tell me what I am missing / doing wrong.
For example:
When I take out the username/password reference from the wdbsvr.app file - the browswer tries to authenticate me and the only username/password that validates is the username/password of the database user.
I don't want to have to have database users for every application user that should be authenticated in my application. I want to put a routine in the owacust.sql file that authenticates users (via my own routine or an optional LDAP/radius/SecurID lookup). In this basic example - I am only validating with the cmanning/cmanning combination.
From what I understand in the documentation - if I use OWA_SEC.CUSTOM - then I don't have to put a .authorize function in every package - the OWA agent simply authenticates every request via the OWA_CUSTOM.authorize function.....
Dude - what's up?
Can someone from the Big O help a brother out?

It looks to me like you want your users authenticated when they try to view your pl/sql-generated html pages, but you want to control the validation with custom code.
You appear to be trying to use owa_custom.authorize to authorize each request, which seems like a good approach.
This whole area is quite complex and I have never found any really comprehensive doco on it. Here are my thoughts which others might like to comment on.
This is a simple version of owa_custom:
PACKAGE BODY OWA_CUSTOM IS
FUNCTION authorize return boolean is
BEGIN
owa_sec.set_protection_realm('aRealm');
if owa.user_id is null then
return false;
else
return my_validate_user
(owa.user_id,owa.get_password);
end if;
exception
RETURN FALSE;
END authorize;
begin
owa_sec.set_authorization(OWA_SEC.GLOBAL);
end;
Note the begin block that applies to the package and sets authorization to GLOBAL when the package is loaded.
The authentication mode in the DAD will need to be Global Owa (afaik) and you will need to supply an oracle username and password in the DAD. ie. you will authenticate the userid/password supplied by the user and then the user will connect to the database as the oracle user specified in the DAD.
I cannot test this code at the moment. Nor can I give you complete instructions to set up authentication from scratch. But here's a brief description of what the code should do.
1. It sets authorization to GLOBAL. So mod_plsql will call owa_custom.authorize for every request. That is, you don't call owa_custom.authorize, it will be done for you and the internals probably look like this:
if owa_custom.authorize then
user_requesed_page(user_supplied_args);
else
send_access_denied;
end if;
2. It sets up a realm, which is relevant to HTTP Basic Authentication and its challenge/response. (You don't have to use HTTP Basic Authentication. An alternative is to present a login form to the user, then you manage the userid/password.)
3. It looks in owa.user_id which will hold the userid supplied by the browser after a HTTP Basic Authentication challenge/response.
4. It uses your custom code to validate the userid and password once the user has been challenged to provide these. You obviously have to create the my_validate_user procedure in the schema and package of your choice.
5. It does not time users out, it does not sustain multi-sessions per user via cookies and it does not support logout without shutting the browsers. But it is simpler for lacking these features.
If this is a way you want to try then your first aim should be to make sure owa_custom is called globally and that it lets you into the database via the DAD-supplied userid and password. You may need some way of writing debug on the server using utl_file to confirm it is being called. Or you could make it return true unconditionally, request a page, then make it return false and request a page.
This is just a start, but let me know if it is on topic.
It would be great to hear suggestions and comments from others on authentication for an htp application under iAS.
Has anyone tried DB Prism?

Cannot Start Weblogic Server After adding Custom Authentication Provider
Hi,
I implemented a Custom authentication provider and configured it wih Weblogic 10.3 application server. Although I successfully added Authentication provider, I couldn't restart my server. I used MBeanMaker utility to package my Authentication provider and login module. Although the MBean Utility signalled some warnings and severe messages, it successfully packaged the files. When I look at the config.xml file after adding he authenticator it just adds three lines
( <sec:authentication-provider>
<sec:name>STOREDPROCEDURE</sec:name>
</sec:authentication-provider>
) Although there are some other attributes of the authenticator.
Please advice.
Here is some stack trace.

at weblogic.security.service.CSSWLSDelegateImpl.initialize(Unknown Source)You need to make sure that you nuke the whole directory that you are specifying to the MBean marker generator. For example, I use the following command to generate the provider jar file.
java -Dfiles=$PRJROOT/ERModel/classes -DMDF=$PRJROOT/ERModel/classes/MyCustomAuthenticator.xml -DMJF=$PRJROOT/ERModel/custom-auth-provider.jar -DtargetNameSpace=http://xmlns.oracle.com/oracleas/schema/11/adf/sampleapp/weblogic/providers -DpreserveStubs=true -DcreateStubs=true weblogic.management.commo.WebLogicMBeanMaker1c
I need to nuke the directory in the -Dfile option i.e. 'rm -rf $PRJROOT/ERModel/classes/' each time I generate the jar file. If you don't, the jar file generates without any error but you will get a runtime exception.
