Webservices and forms authentication
Hello,
we have a jsf web application that uses forms authentication (using ProgrammaticLogin).
Now we want to provide some webservices that need authentication too, because only registered users hould be able to use the webservices.
Is there a way, that the webservices use the same authentication system as the webapp.
Or should we split it into different applications?
Thanks
Dirk

You need to make different mechanism for authentication in web services as they are supposed to be consumed by another application not by a human being.

Hi,
We have to get all the claims providers associated with a web application and its identity claim encoding type using API.
For example:
If the identity claim of windows authentication is user name and the user name is a string, then we should get
"i:0#.w".
If the identity claim of forms authentication is
email and the provider name is "fba" , then we should get "i:0!.f|fba|".
The below link shows us to get all claims providers associated with a web application, but how do we get the identity claim encoding type of each provider?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg650432(v=office.14).aspx#SP_WCP_Tip3
using (SPSite theSite = new SPSite("http://someContosoUrl"))
// Get the web application.
SPWebApplication wa = theSite.WebApplication;
// Get the zone for the site.
SPUrlZone theZone = theSite.Zone;
// Get the settings that are associated with the zone.
SPIisSettings theSettings = wa.GetIisSettingsWithFallback(theZone);
// Get the list of authentication providers that are associated with the zone.
foreach (SPAuthenticationProvider prov in
theSettings.ClaimsAuthenticationProviders)
{ // Need to get the identity claims encoding type using the SPAuthenticationProvider
Is windows authentication's identity claim encoding type always i.0#.w or the identity claim is always the user name?
Thanks & Regards,
Kalai.If the requirement is to be able to convert claim identities to windows identities that can be used with other LOB/legacy application that still relies on NTLM/Windows Auth, then I would recommend to explore C2WTS.

Enabling CLIENT-CERT and FORM authentication in same web-app
Hi!
I try to enable same behaviour in WLS 8.1 SP4 as is available in WLS 9.2 (one can define in web.xml to have many <auth-method>s, for example <auth-method>CLIENT-CERT,FORM<auth-method>, which states that first one tries authentication with token (Single Sign On case, for example) and if it is not successful then go to log-in page.
My steps are as follows in my custom Servlet. We are using IE 6.0 as our web-client. We have configured our auth-method to be FORM, and in the <form-login-page> we have direction to that custom Servlet, which does the handling described below.
1. If client does not send tokens in request, then set response header:
response.setHeader("WWW-Authenticate", "Negotiate");
response.sendError(response.SC_UNAUTHORIZED);
This works fine and client starts to send his tokens
2. Now check token, if it is valid, let user in, if not forward him to custom log-in page, for example:
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher("/login/login.html");
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
3. Client is forwarded to a log-in page as requested and he gives his credentials. Pushes OK
log-in page is as defined in edocs:
<form method="POST" action="j_security_check">
<table border=1>
<tr>
<td>Username:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="j_username"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password:</td>
<td><input type="password" name="j_password"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2 align=right><input type=submit value="Submit"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
Now the interesting thing happens (I have investigated TCP traffic at server machine): client (in this case IE) seems to override somehow the credentials (j_password and j_username for HTTP headers, does not send them at all) but keeps on sending this 'Authorize'-field with invalid token instead.
I have tried a Servlet that does not request WWW-Authenticate at all (in which case client does not start to send 'Authorize'-field). In this case those values are put to HTTP header OK and authentication is able to take place.
Anyone has any ideas how can I force my clients to send those values from the HTML FORM described above? SHould I set something at response while I do the forward to the custom log-in page. I have tried virtually everything I can imagine (which seems to be not too much :-))...Solution found:
The trick is to return "401" in response if ticket is not valid (do nothing else). This will end the negotiate between client and server
In your web.xml, forward your 401 code to login page:
<error-page>
<error-code>401</error-code>
<location>/form_login_page.html</location>
</error-page>
There might be a more straightforward way to do this (have all the page management within servlet), but I did not have time to investigate it further. This one at least works -
In our java web application trying establish the connection for sharePoint 2013
using Windows claims authentication (NTLM ), I am getting error message "Server was unable to process request. ---> Site is not configured for Claims Forms Authentication". But In the Sharepoint 2013 our Site is is configured for Windows
claims only.
In the Sharepoint 2013 server in the IIS manager settings for authentication it is enabled for both Windows claims and Forms authentication,
but if I disable Forms authentication that I will be able to connect it through my application but with the direct access i.e., by running the URL in the browser I am not able to connect getting error message "sorry this site has not been shared with
you" in the browser Kindly help me on this.Hi,
This issue is always caused that you had missed FBA configuration in web config of your web application.
You can configure the FBA authentication then check whether it works.

Form Authentication Servlet and MD5
Dear forum,
I have the following servlet to authenticate a user via form. If you go to the root url you get the login html and the authentication works fine but if the user knows the url of a specific html just by typing the url gives access to the page without going through the authentication. The website is composed of htmls and servlets. How can I force the authentication for the htmls and the servlets. I included at the bottom how I added the Login servlet to the web.xml. I suspect that the servlet definition in the web.xml is the problem.
Also I would like to use MD5 encryption, would someone suggest how this can be accomplished.
Thanks.

If you have a couple of html pages you want authenticated, easiest is to write them as servlets (+ maybe JSP's) and do the login check there.
Ok, let's say you have ...what, an "image database" (heh) that you want available to logged-in users only. Write a servlet that serves those pages. That servlet checks the session, and then copies the appropriate file to the user (remember to set content type; consider caching the files if hit rate is very high.) The servlet would be called like /images/show?id=gerbilsex/closeup.gif to fetch the named file. Put the files outside the web server's document directory so they are not accessible except through the servlet. Perform strict checks on the file name to disallow nastiness like id=../../../etc/passwd. A similar database solution is also possible. Another variant is to map a servlet to a "virtual directory name" and get the actual file name from the URL path -- similar to the ?id= solution, except the URLs don't have parameters.
About md5: md5 isn't an encryption algorithm, it is a hash algorithm (aka "message digest" or "fingerprint"). It can't be decrypted. What do you really want to accomplish - encryption or hashing? -
Tomact examples and form base authentication
I am looking at the tomcat examples web.xml security constrains and login info settings:
<security-constraint>
<display-name>Example Security Constraint</display-name>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Protected Area</web-resource-name>
<!-- Define the context-relative URL(s) to be protected -->
<url-pattern>/jsp/security/protected/*</url-pattern>
<!-- If you list http methods, only those methods are protected -->
<http-method>DELETE</http-method>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
<http-method>PUT</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<!-- Anyone with one of the listed roles may access this area -->
<role-name>tomcat</role-name>
<role-name>role1</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<!-- Default login configuration uses form-based authentication -->
<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<realm-name>Example Form-Based Authentication Area</realm-name>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/jsp/security/protected/login.jsp</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/jsp/security/protected/error.jsp</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>
As we can see form-login page and form-error page uri match url-pattern settings.
url-pattern: /jsp/security/protected/*
form-login page: /jsp/security/protected/login.jsp
form-error page: /jsp/security/protected/error.jsp
There is no binding of unauthenticated user to ether one of specified roles
Question: What place in the servlet spec allows serving secured resource for a user without appropriate role association?Kinda then beat the the whole idea of authentication then, if you allow a user in that is not assigned to a security role? Anyway, I think you are looking to send the user to another page if they are not in a role but have an id, correct? Well, first it has to be a page outside the secure directory/ies. The error it generates is a 403. So add to your web.xml:
<error-page>
<error-code>403</error-code>
<location>/403.jsp</location>
</error-page>Anytime a user who is not a member of the allowed roles attempts a login, they will be redirected to this page.

Issues with OSSO ,custom login module and form based authentication
Hi:
We are facing issues with OSSO (Oracle Single Sign on ),Our application use the form based
authentication and Custom login module.
Application is going in infinite loop when we we try to login using osso ,from the logs
what I got is looks like tha when we we try to login from OSSO application goes to the login
page and it gets the remote user from request so it forwards it to the home page till now
it is correct behaviour ,but after that It looks like home page find that authentication is
not done and sends it back to the login page and login page again sends it to the home as it
finds that remote user is not null.
Our web.xml form authentication entry looks like this :
<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/jsp/login.jsp</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/jsp/couldnotlogin.jsp</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>
While entry in orion-application.xml has the following entry for custom login :
<jazn provider="XML">
<property name="custom.loginmodule.provider" value="true" />
<property name="role.mapping.dynamic" value="true" />
</jazn>
Whether If I change the authentication type to BASIC and add the following line
in orion-application.xml will solve the issue :
<jazn provider="XML">
<property name="custom.loginmodule.provider" value="true" />
<property name="role.mapping.dynamic" value="true" />
<jazn-web-app auth-method="SSO" >
</jazn>
Any help regarding it will be appreciated .
Thanks

To Call an HTTPS webservice through Forms
Hi
I have followed http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/forms/11g/sms_webservice/webservices_forms_11g.htm but this only covers HTTP connections. The java client that I am preparing uses HTTPS link.
Before importing the jar in Oracle Forms, we want to test if the jar works fine. So in the unix server, I try to execute the jar and I get java.net.UnknownHostException: wugateway2pi.westernunion.net..
This url will only allow access from the servers the third party has provided access to. So from the unix server we are able to ping and telnet this ip. We have installed the certificate they have provided local to the jar.
We did the same configuration in windows server when we used 10g and the connection went through successfully.
Can anyone please give steps on how to resolve this issue

That the jar is not running on Linux is your problem? The exception is probably coming from httpurlconnection because the host cannot be reached. This could because your Linux does not have the required network access.
But is this your problem?
>
This url will only allow access from the servers the third party has provided access to. So from the unix server we are able to ping and telnet this ip.
>
The server is trying to do mutual authentication and rightly so as this is a remittance system. Ping and telnet work for ip, but that does not mean you have access to the services. But is that your problem?
We have installed the certificate they have provided local to the jar.You installed in jar , but are you using it in your System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore" or equivalent in Java?
Again, is this your problem?
>

So Windows is not your issue. Then what is?
Articulating your problem accurately dramatically increases the chances of getting a resolution.
BTW, I have nothing against Java but why are you trying to use Java for calling a Webservice from Forms ? You have UTL_HTTP pacakage (Request and Response sub programs) that allow you to do this in PL/SQL. Of course you will need Wallet for HTTPS calls from PL.SQL.
More info here {thread:id=2396886}
Cheers,
PS : BTW the URL wugateway2pi.westernunion.net does not land on any web page. So no wonder you get unknown host exception.

If it is not, what is the Oracle recommended method for accomplishing this? -

Can we wrap a RFC as webservice and use from external java application ?
Hi Friends ,
Our scenario is call a webservice ( wrapped form of RFC) from a external java application which will pass the input to that webservice and get back the result .
How XI will play a role here ?
Can we wrap a rfc as web service ?
Any blogs for that ?
Can you please give a brief details about this ?
Expecting yoour asap
Best Regards .,
V.RangarajanHi
Can we wrap a rfc as web service ?
Yes.
<i>To use the SAP Web AS 6.40 you need to build a wrapper in the 6.40 system. This is a remote function call (RFC) enabled function module with the same interface or a similar interface that internally calls the required RFC-enabled function module in the old 4.6x system via RFC. The wrapper then can be exposed to the outside world as a Web service. Another option is to use the Integration Broker capabilities for calling Web services in an older system.</i>
How XI will play a role here ?
XI will pass the input to the external java application and get back the result to the webservice

User or Group is not recognised error using Forms Authentication
Hi Guys,
Hope you can help; I'm having a bit of trouble adding new users/ groups to my report server.
My current set up is SSRS 2008 utilising forms authentication with single sign- on and am trying to set permissions on a folder level.
I've checked that the server is pointing to the correct database and that this database is up to date (has all relevant roles, users etc...) but whenever I go to add a new user/ role (site settings --> security) I get the following error:
The user or group name 'Users' is not recognized. (rsUnknownUserName)
I've also confirmed the roles/ users that I'm trying to add are in the database
I should add that I'm new to this SSRS malarkey so let me know what information you need and I'll find it out for you.
Thanks!Hi Donpisci,
The error “The user or group name <name> is not recognized (rsUnknownUserName)” means the Report Server cannot find the user from domain or local users or groups of report server. Reporting Services stored users with users’ SID. After we type a username
in the username textbox, the Reporting Services will use the method “LookupAccountName” in Windows API to get the user’s SID.
You can refer to the link below to download the application, and then run the application. Type the user name in the username textbox, and then click “Find” to check whether you can get the SID.

In addition, you can disable firewall temporarily.

Migrate User from Classic mode to Forms Authentication in SharePoint 2013
Hi All,
I have upgraded a SharePoint 2010 classic mode site to SharePoint 2013 claims authentication. I have executed the command MgrateUser($true) and the user account is updated to Claims mode and I am able to login to the site.
Now I have extended the site to use forms authentication against Active Directory. How do I update the accounts to Form Authentcation mode using Powershell, is there any command available.
Thanks & Regards
pankajOkay, I would suggest instead to use Web Application Proxy and ADFS 3.0 (using an NTLM connection to SharePoint). This way you get your forms experience for those users who require it (or all, your choice) and you do not have to change anything with SharePoint.
