URL Item Security

When a URL item is created that points to a file on the windows file system, which userid is used to connect to the windows file system?

There is no connection between the portal and the target of a URL item (unless the URL item is pointing to another location in the portal itself, or another application bounded by the Single Sign On server).
The user will be connected to the Windows file system using their Windows session id.

Rights on URL items in a content area

Hi,
Ok, so now I have my query to retrieve the main URL items (top level branches) in a content area for my treeview. This is the query:
SELECT IT.Name,
IT.MasterThingId,
IT.ParentId,
URL.Url,
COUNT(IT2.Name) Subs
FROM WWV_THINGS IT, WWSBR_URL$ URL, WWV_THINGS IT2
WHERE IT.SiteId = (
SELECT Id
FROM WWSBR_ALL_CONTENT_AREAS
WHERE Name = 'CA_NAVIGATION'
AND Default_Language = 'us')
AND IT.Active = 1
AND IT.ParentId is null
AND IT.Id = URL.Object_Id
AND IT2.ParentId(+) = IT.MasterThingId
GROUP BY IT.Seq,
IT.Name,
IT.MasterThingId,
IT.ParentId,
URL.Url
How do I figure out if the current user has rights to view the item or not? Not all users may see all these URL's of course.
I know how to find the current user, but I don't know how to limit this query to only those URL's granted to the current user.
Could anybody please point me in the direction of the correct table/tables to use in this query?
Thanks in advance,
Joey

Hi,
I've found several docs in the PDK. I've also found a reference to the WWSEC_API, function has_privilege.
But I would like to know in which table I should look to check for rights of users and groups.
In content area X, I have several URL's, each URL has several usergroups that can access the URL. How do I know which URL's to display when user Y belonging to usergroup Z logs in?
Thanks in advance,
Joey

URL item is not working

I try to create a url item (e.g http://www.oracle.com) but when the url runs it returns the message 'The parameter is incorrect'. The <<http server>> and <<http server port>> fields in global settings portlet are correct. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Hi,
Looks like the proxy server details in the global settings is wrong. Have you given your http server settings there?
You need a different proxy server and port for accessing beyond a firewall.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Why URL column in WWSBR_ALL_ITEMS is empty for url item type??

I tried to query url of the url item from WWSBR_ALL_ITEMS, but url doesn't return anything. Did I queried wrong table? Can someone please let me know how to find the actual url(such as http://www...) for the url item type. Thanks!

I don't remember exactly where I got this solution -- I think it was from a TAR -- but I have the following comment on the copy of WWSBR_ALL_ITEMS that we use to replace the one that ships with Portal 3.0.9.8:
"The join between WWV_THINGS(t) and WWSBR_URL$(u) is defined as t.url = u.url(+). The join should be t.id = u.object_id(+)"
I haven't looked at the type stuff in a while, but I remember that we used the subtype to identify things when we were working with that view.

URL item not shown

I added an URL item in a folder, but when wieving the folder portal returns the following error:
Error: Call to utl_http failed (WWS-32136)
ORA-1: User-Defined Exception (WWC-36000)
Using: IAS102, Portal 3.0.6.5 on Solaris.
Thanx & Bye all

I solved this problem.
There is a table called wwv_things (portal30) where u can modify the column 'inplace' to '0' where the value is '1', then all works.

Acrobat javascript URL property security warning

Since Adobe implemented enhanced security in Acrobat/Reader if you simply read the URL used to open a PDF you get a security nag screen asking if you want to block or allow the action.
My question is this: why is simply reading a document's URL a security issue?

just a note:
WebService URLs are only internal, so cannot be reached!

Passing values to a URL item

Hi,
Is it possible to pass a value to a URL item?
Here is what I am trying to do:
Add a URL item that opens up in a new window(since inplace display of external URLSs is not yet poss. and applets etc don't work). The URL is http://www.mywebsite.com/pls/portal30/hellorpt?p_userid=
I would like to add the value returned by
wwctx_api.get_user to this URL. So that
when the user invokes the URL, it becomes http://www.mywebsite.com/pls/portal30/hellorpt?p_userid=PORTAL30 (if that was the user who was logged in).
I could probably add a pl/sql item which creates a page which redirects to the URL using window.location.href, but I wanted to
know if the above was possible.
Sanjay

No, you can't substitute a parameter this way on a URL item.

URL Item Issue

Hi,
I have a Portal site in which I have setup many URL items. The URL items all point to PDF files (reports) on the local server that are updated nightly by night operations. I have one file that seems to be stuck somehow. When I open the file directly on the server the report date reads January 7th, however when I login to the Portal site and try to open the link it opens with a report date of 12/18. It doesn't seem to matter what I do the link is stuck on a report from 12/18 for some reason. I have tried the following to no avail:
-Cleared my local temp internet files, cookies, history, etc.
-Hit Clear Cache on the Portal site
-Removed the URL Item and recreated it
-Removed the physical file from the server completely (it still opens the report from 12/18)
-Searched the server for a file containing a date of 12/18 (nothing)
-Logged into the Portal site from different computers and as different users.
We are not having issues with any other files/URL items, just seems to be this one. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

The problem seems to be related to cache yet you have done quite a bit to see if it really is due to caching.
you can try to verify if it is a cache issue and then fix it as follows:
1. change the browser to access it. if you were accessing it through IE then try using firefox or netscape or some other browser.
2. or use some other machine, ask a colleague to access that file from their system. if the item persists it would be above system's cache problem.
3. now to clear the cache for the AS, you may also clear plsql cache. for that, if you are using version beyond 30x then
- remove the folders of pmd, session and plsql in midtier\apache\modplsql\cache\.
- then restart the oc4j_security in infra-home;
hope that helps.

Need to pass user_id and password in URL item attribute of workflow

Hi Gurus,
I am facing an issue in creating an URL in workflow builder.
Basically i have created an URL Item type attribute with value
../../OA_HTML/jtfTaskMain.jsp?jttst0=2414_23135%2C23135%2C-1%2C0%2C&jttmexjtfm0=_0_0_1_0_f_nv_&jttmexetfm1=_0_-1_&jfn=ZG700F3B7360316A8A7557B082337FBD0423D2AA232DEA5407CEA2D4D6508E6A04693B0E4B1E1EA9069F1DFFC5EA0DB3ABED&jtfm0=_0_0_1_1_f_nv_&etfm1=_1_-1_&oas=6B1ntRszm8xl-UOPcBYwww..&task_id=10505&PID=&PNAME=&PTYPE=
in workflow and above highlighted values are the dynamic paramers to open the standard JSP page. The above link works because it is user specific. Please let me know how to pass these dynamic parametsr like user_id, password, OAS,task_id to the URL?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
You'll need to determine the values and populate the URL in a PL/SQL activity earlier in the process.

Does your database host require a proxy in order to be able to contact the website?
You can set the proxy that Portal uses from the Global Settings pages - there is a link to these from the Services portlet, an instance of which can be found on the Administration tab of the Desgin Time pages.
Once you've changed the proxy setting you'll need to recreate the URL index so that it can have another go at indexing your website with the Proxy. Please refere to the Search Configuration chapter in the Portal Configuration Guide for more information.

Multiple "Open URL" items in terminal right-clicik context menu

Since http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2068339 was closed without anyone apparently even bothering to reply to it, I'm reviving it here - unlike the previous asker, I'm rather more resilient and determined.
The terminal right-click context menu has 3 - 4 "Open URL" items on it, even on terminal tabs where there is no URL anywhere. Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
Thank you.

Thank you very much Linc. After allowing the command to run and restarting the terminal, that seems to have had the desired effect. +2 for you!

URL item using file://

When creating a URL item for linking to our network drives if the path has a space within it, it will fail. Those paths without spaces will work correctly. Without having to rename the directories is there any other value that can placed into the path name to indicate to portal that it is a space (portal does not recognize the commonly used %20).
ex.
file://X:\name_of_folder\name_of_sub_folder\document1 (this will work)
file://X:\name of folder\name of sub folder\document1 (this will not work

Peter,
We are currently running version 3.0.9.8. Apparently this version does not support that function as well as the newer versions.
We use this to initiate applications on network directories that have dependencies on those directory structures. Typically they are internet applications that a vendor/service provider provides. Some of these require a client side application to be installed. Most require the specific folder/directory/path created by the install to work properly. As far as I know the portal will not support this within its database structure.
Thanks for the information you provided. We are in the process of migrating to 10g and it sounds like this issue should be resolved.

URL Item and NLS!!!!

Hi,
I'm currently running portal 10g rel 2 and this is my issue. I have a bunch of url items on a page and when I change languages and update the items display name and url and submit my change it updates the display name for that languages but over-writes the url for both English and French content. Has anyone else experienced this? the same thing happens on 9026 as well. Can someone help?
Regards
Trevor

I'm also having a problem translated portlet titles for url(custom provider.xml files) and report/form/dynamic portlets. Can someone help me with this????? I can't seem to find any information/documentation regarding this issue

URL item and folder

I Have a folder with a URL Item. The URL is a link to a form developed by Oracle Forms.
I have set my folder as following:
Delete Form (URL Link)
Description: This forms is used to delete projects from the database.
Now, when user clicks on the delete form link, the form should show up in the same folder or portlet. Although i have set the DISPLAY options to LINK THAT DISPLAY ITEM IN FOLDER AREA, the form lunches in the full browser window.
How can i force the URL to lunch in the same folder or portlet.???
Thanks
For Oracle Support team, this problem is a reference to TAR #13591315.6

Was there a resolution?
For those that cannot view TARs it'd be helpful to put that here.
thanks!
