WebUI Login

Question

Hi!
Everytime i try to login to WebUI i recieve a msg/alert-box telling me:
"The login or password was not valid, please try again".
This is very annoying because all those user/password combinations i've tried do work very well via FTP.
So my question is: Does HTTP access need any kind of special treatment? Any property file that must be edited?
Another strange thing is that when i try the following it seems to work:
--- JSP snippet ---
<p>create objects...</p>
<%
LibraryService service = new LibraryService();
CleartextCredential me = new CleartextCredential("system","manager");
ConnectOptions connect = new ConnectOptions();
%>
<p>prepare connection...</p>
<%
connect.setLocale(Locale.getDefault());
connect.setServiceName("servermanager");
connect.setServicePassword("ifssys");
%>
<p>connect...</p>
<%
LibrarySession ifs_sess = service.connect(me,connect);
%>
<p>disconnect...</p>
<%
ifs_sess.disconnect();
%>
--- end ---
The connection isn't impossible to establish, it seems.
But in the WebUI's login.jsp file they are using a quite different approach:
--- Snippet from LOGIN.JSP ---
<%@ page import = "oracle.ifs.clients.webui.WebUILogin" %>
WebUILogin login = WebUILogin.getWebUILogin( request );
String step = request.getParameter("step");
login.processRequest(request);
--- end ---
The WebUILogin classes are undocumented (right?) and i guess it is some kind of wrapper for the standard classes.
Ok... if someone could share some thought about it all i would be more than happy, because this is probably driving me crazy in a close future.

Hi,
I had the same problem but I got it running. You first must run the ifsjwsstart.bat, if you had choosen to use the standard JWS and not Apache, and leave it running on the background.
Then try it on your client iFS user, webui. If that doesn't work look at the log file in E:\Oracle_Home\ifs\settings\oracle\ifs\protocols\http\properties and see if you haven't changed the password for the guest user. If you did than change it back to 'welcome' in the service manager(ifsmrg.bat).
