URL request in the address field on the browser

A few of URLs in my application are only restricted to the web master. Before creating the special user role of the application, I would like to access those URLs through the address field on a browser. The problem I have is that a URL entered on the field will lead to a creation of a new session even though I enter a URL with the current jsessionid of TC. Is a way to prevent a creation of a new session?
Thanks.
v.

When I test on URLS. they show up in the address field with a jsessionid. I believe that is due to cookies disabled. Otherwise, the jsessionid wouldn't show up. But, when I check out the cookies setting on both Firefox and IE, they are enabled. I am not sure what is going on in this regard.

New URL Request (_blank) Without Address or Scroll Bars Present

Can anybody please give me the AS3 code to open a new window (URL Request) without it displaying the address or scroll bars? I want to have a text link in a flash scene like "Click Here" that opens a new blank window (600 x 400) with a new URL without displaying any address or scroll bars. Is this possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How to disable report's execution requests from the browser

Hello gurus,
We are implementing several security measures in our application, some of them are related to reports execution/visualization, we need to avoid users accessing reports that they don't have privilege to see. The reports were execute by Forms via RUN_REPORT_OBJECT, destination type CACHE and destination format PDF, then we displayed the output using the jobId provided to Forms by the Reports Server. Because these jobIds are sequential numbers any person was able to change the jobId in the URL and get the output of another report. This violated the Confidentiality of information.
Now we generate all reports output to file, the file name is a random value, to avoid guessing. The problem is that even though the official way to execute a report is via the application, the report servlet is accepting request as URLs, and this violates the access controls we have implemented in the application.
Is there a way to stop the reports servlet without affecting the valid requests (from RUN_REPORT_OBJET in Forms) or is there another possible way to disable URL requests?
TIA
Victor.

If you are using Portal and SSO, you can assign privileges on Reports and Reports Servers to groups and/or users. For more info, see Chapter 10 of the "Publishing Reports to the Web" documentation: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_sec_arch.htm#i1006221

Can ACE rewrite the URL sent back to the browser?

Hi,
I want to know that if there is a link on a webpage, for example: www.test.com/folder1/folder2/index.html
Would be it be possible to rewrite this so that when the webserver provides you with that page, that the ACE rewrites the given URL so that the browser only says in the URL bar: www.test.com
Or is this impossible and would the webserver itself need to do this rewrite?
Thanks!

Hi Robin,
As per my understanding, when you click on that link the URL would say www.test.com/folder1/folder2/index.html in URL bar. ACE can rewrite URL and forward to server or can modify server response but i am not sure if there's anyway you can get the URL change in the bar after you click on hyperlink and webpage loads. May be you can have redirection but not rewrite here.

Incorrect PDF being displayed periodically in the browser

I want to start by thanking anyone who could shed light on this problem.
We have a web application that dynamically generates PDF files per a user request in a web application. 98% of the time the proper PDF gets opened in the browser correctly, whether it be IE or Firefox. The other 2% of the time, no matter what url data was requested from, an incorrect PDF is displayed. This incorrect PDF that gets displayed is one that was requested and opened in a previous request and could still be open in a browser tab. Once this state is reached all PDFs that are requested do not line up with the requested PDF, meaning they are all incorrect. Once the browser is refreshed the problem stops happening for another stretch of time.
I have read posts that discuss placing a random number in the url to "trick" the browser plugin from thinking it already has the PDF. We have done that. In fact this issue appears to not be impacted at all by the url. For example, when this problem happens I can go to https://appname/one/pdf and get the PDF that was requested and sent back when I went to https://appname/two/pdf. These are two clearly different urls even without the random number that we placed on the end as a parameter and I still receive the PDF from the second URL.
We debugged the server side code and we are 100% sure that we are sending the correct PDF back to the client by streaming the PDF to a file on the server prior to sending it back to the client.
One thing I have noticed is that currently we are not specifying the Content-Disposition header when we return the PDF to the browser. This means that there is no filename being provided to the front end and the plugin. Is it possible that the Adobe Reader plugin eventually gets confused as to what file to display if there is no specific file name provided for the PDF from the server, with the keyword there being eventually as it is an intermittent problem?
We can easily set the Content-Disposition header to be attachment; filename="somename.pdf" but given the intermittent nature of this bug we would like to get some feedback as to if this fix is logical given this issue. If it is not logical we would appreciate any other information that may help us troubleshoot this issue. The alternative is to rewrite the document generation code to output HTML, and I really do not want to do that.
We are using the Adobe Acrobat 9.4.5.236 add-on to Firefox 10.0.3, Adobe Reader 9.4.0, and Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702. All of these versions are not able to be upgraded, meaning this is the baseline we have to support. We also operate, still, on Window XP Professional Service Pack 3.
One last comment, client side operations by the user are not valid solutions either. I have already suggested asking the user to uncheck the open in browser option in Adobe Reader but our customer does not find that to be a valid solution. To date we have not been able to recreate the issue when the PDF is opened in Adobe Reader proper and not the browser.
Thanks again for any help and information.

In case someone, other than me, stumbles across this post. The solution I suggested in the opening post did not work. When a user opens a PDF using the Reader Plug-in in Firefox they still have the potential to see the previous PDF. The interesting thing is, as it appears right now, that this only occurs when a user closes a Firefox tab that contained the previous PDF and then triggers a different PDF to be opened in Firefox. What seems to be happening is that the Reader Plug-in ignores the file it is supposed to open and recycles the PDF that was in that tab before it was closed. Which is funny because the URL of that tab points to the new file that was downloaded into the temp directory but the contents of the tab is still the previous PDF. Not sure if the plug-in just doesn't clean out the previous contents or what but it clearly is an issue that resides in the Adobe Reader Plug-in for Firefox.
I am not sure what we are going to do at the moment but if we find a solution, other than don't open the PDF in Firefox, I will be sure to post it here. However, for right now there is nothing coming to mind.

Incorporating the BROWSER back button in flash

I have seen a new layout in Flash, where the browser's back
button can be used to hit different pages that have been visited
INSIDE the flash clip. So for ex, you go to a URL and its a full
browser flash site, then click "news" and go to the news page. If
you click back on the BROWSER, it takes you back to the main page
of the flash site, not the last URL visited in the browser. Here is
a good example:
http://www.opcd.net/#/lomo_-_mr._wig/
going back in the browser will take you to other visted image
pages. Can somebody point me in the right direction to figure out
how to incorporate this in my layouts?

Does WebStart share session, connection with the browser?

Does WebStart plugin in he browser opens a separate http (or https) connection to download the jar (resource) files? or doe sit share, reuse the same connection already opened by the browser?
We are having a major problem cause all our jar files/ resources sit behind the web server and WebServer is protected by RSA Authentication.
A user normally authenticates them selves first ont he web server. All subsequent htp request form the browser is silently authenticated.
But when Webstart gets invoked it gets blocked when downloading resources cause WebServer does not let any unauthenticated call go through it to get to the resources.
This sounds like a very common problem everyone shoudl have, if WebStart uses a separate connection (separate from the browser) to download resources.
If resources are protected inside some server that throws a login challenge then WebStart cannot get to it.
How are other people in the industry solvign this problem?
Thank you.
-- Ashique
Please email me at [email protected]

Webstart does run in a seperate process, sometimes without a browser present. It donwloads all the listed resources using pure java calls, which, depending on the versions of java used, can handle various forms of web authentication.
What flavor of authentication are you trying to use ? (and in what version of Java, and of Java Web Start ?)

Hi Janet ...
From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click View > Customize Toolbar
Drag up the default toolbar or individual objects.

I am able to load some pages from a particular website while other pages from the same site give the error "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."

I am able to access some directories on the website without any problems while I get the "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete." error for other directories of the same site.

CSS11500 SSL handling question for multiple url/FQDNs with the same ip address

I know that it's possible on the CSS to handle multiple incoming HTTP requests that terminate on the same IP address and port and balance them to various servers based on the url. For instance, I can set up www.cats.com and www.dogs.com at the same 192.168.35.12 address in DNS, and set up two different content rules:
content cats
vip address 192.168.35.12
port 80
url "//www.cats.com/*"
add server cats1
add server cats2
active
content dogs
vip 192.168.35.12
port 80
url "//www.dogs.com/*"
add server dogs1
add server dogs2
active.
Easy and straightforward.
But what if I want to add SSL handling for https://www.cats.com and https://www.dogs.com?
I'm not sure how to create the ssl-proxy-list where one content rule (ip address/port) combination needs to pass through the ssl module and get matched with the proper ssl certificate.
Can this be done? Can one associate multiple certs and keys with a single ssl-server entry and a single ssl accelerator service? Or do I have to create multiple ssl-proxy-lists for cats and dogs and build multiple ssl services each referring to a unique ssl-proxy-list, and then use the url parameter in the https content rule to determine which ssl service (and therefore which key/cert pair) gets the traffic?
Thanks in advance for any insights.

Hi Tim,
Unfortunately this is not possible; you can't associate multiple certificates to a single proxy list due to the fact that SSL handshake is done first with no visibility of the URL being requested, so the CSS won't know which public server to use in order to perform the traffic decryption.
But there are a couple of options that you may want to look at (depending on the URL string)
If your URLs are subdomains and you hold a wildcard SSL certficate to match multiple requests, i.e your domain being "pets.com" you can have a certficate that will match request for dogs.pets.com or cats.pets.com because the cert will be in the form *.pets.com
The second option is SAN (Subject alternative names) certificates; which give you the option to include up to 4 flavors of the domain within the same file, such as pets.com, pets.net, www.1pets.com.
I hope this helps.

Is it possbile to get URL from the browser address bar?

I'm in the process of creating a JITIR agent in java that takes in the url of the website that the user presently viewing.
I don't want the user to have to copy or type in to my app the websites URL. Is it possbile to get this from the process e.g. The browser address bar, or the HTTP:// request sent by the browser.
Any thoughts gratefully recieved.

I hate the combined search and address fields

Dear Apple,
I am very disappointed with the newly combined address and search field. Not only does it not work as well but it's lost important functionality as well. In particular:
The snap back feature of the search field was brilliant. It was immensely useful and worked perfectly. I greatly lament it's loss and can't, for the life of me, guess why it was taken out.
Very oftern the address field searches instead of taking me to the address I'm typing in. Typically I type in an address, I see the address autocompleted and press enter. My expectation is that I should go to the URL just entered. Instead I end up on a page of search results. On closer examination I see that it's my search engine returning the auto complete results. From that perspective it makes sense but unfortunately that's completely contradictory to what I'm trying to achieve and to how we've all been trained an address bar works.
Interestingly, at least to me, I'm currently writing a paper which touches on the use of specialized tools and this is a great example. For any given task a specialize tool will outperform a general tool everytime. With a browser, four of the primary things I do are:
go to a bookmarked location
enter an address directly
search the web
bookmark a location
Safari 5 had a specialize tool for each of those task and the tools were readily accessible.

And I can't find this "on this page" item people are talking about.

How to make the Shipping address field on an Account as a required field?

Hi,
The requirement is that there has to be a shipping address specified for each Account that is being created.
I tried to set the 'shipping' address field to 'required' in Account field setup, but the required checkbox is disabled, neither can I do it from Account Page layouts since there also its the same case.
Does anyone know if its possible to do this and how?
Regards,
Ani.

Have you tried to add validation to the AccountName field
[<PrimaryShipToStreetAddress>] IS NOT NULL - will test to see if there is a value in the Shipping Address 1 field
