What is 'Web Form Security' in the forms module?

I'm looking thought a BC site Admin area, trying to make some mods to a form, and I noticed that there is a 'Web Form Security Module' under the E-Commerce tab, in the Web Forms builder. Anyone know what this is/does? I've searched the docs and can't find it.
Thanks,
Ben

Thank you for posting.
"Web form security" (module_ccsecurity) module is there for CSRF protection. You can read more about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_request_forgery
If you place that module within the form tags on the page it will render a field such as this:
<input type="text" name="s_summary" id="s_summary" class="cat_textbox" value="acade4971bb94d2b936f17bc36a35ba4" style="display:none">

Web Start Security and the Cache

Hi,
If the jars are signed and download occurs then webstart will verify the signature and tell the user that jars signed by user xxxxx are about to be run. Then the jars are cached by web start. My question is, what is to stop an attacker from replacing the jars in the cache with malicious ones? Does web start verify the signature on the jars when they are loaded from the cache aswell, thus preventing the jars from being changed? Or does the versioning system web start uses somehow prevent replacing the jars.
Thanks for any help,
Dave.

How would an attacker replace the jars with malicious ones? Through the initial signed jars? That means the initial ones are already malicious anyway, so why bother? After all, the user has already given those signed jars all-permissions anyway...
I'm sure you could devise some other means to do it using virus-like software, but all this would give you far greater control over the users machine than anything those cached jars could ever give you, even if the JNLP client did no checking on its cache whatsoever.

What is web services in Java?

i have searched Google with the word of "web services".I could only find out some general information about web services but not specific.
Could you please explain me briefly?

Thanking You.That is a slightly odd question.
There's nothing special about web services in Java against web services in any other language...there are, after all, several web service frameworks in Java, so it's not as if there's even a single answer to it.
Do you understand what a web service is and the associated standards around one? If you do then you should realise that your question doesn't make much sense...unless you're actually asking what ws packages there are around.

If client uses all the APO modules along with ECC then what is the CIF role in DP

Hi All,
As per my knowledge if the client is using only SAP ECC and DP then CIF does not play any role but what about if client uses all the APO modules along with ECC then what is the CIF role in DP ?
Thanks in advance ..

Hi Vinod,
i am aware all the above details what u mentioned.
Generally i am extracting the historical data from Excel to BI in DP- @ my project.
But if the data is in SAP ECC then do we need to use CIF to extract the data to BI in DP... so what is the role of CIF in DP if client uses only DP module? and if the client uses all the APO modules then what is the role of CIF in DP especially ?....awaiting for ur response....
Thanks.

Web Form in Task List and Security

Hi,
I have a couple of specific questions regarding Task List; below is a simplified example of my questions
1. Say, I have a 2 web forms (X,Y) that are part of a Task List 1. Group A has been given access to both web forms X and Y. Group A also has access to Task List 1. Group B has been given access to only web form X. Group B also has access to Task List 1. Now, everything is good for users belonging to Group A. However, users belonging Group B has a specific issue. They still see the "Web form Y" in the Task List Selection on the left. However they cant open the web form Y on the right side which is good.
My question is, is there a way to prevent users from even seeing this "Web Form Y" in the selection list? The problem is they shouldnt even see that particular web form as a choice and moreover this web form that they havent been given access to becomes part of the Task List completion status, forcing them to click on "Complete" for an empty web form.
Is there some setting that could prevent unassigned web forms based on security from showing up in the Task List for various groups (similar to security restricted members not showing up in web forms)? Or is creating several different Task List the only work around?
2. I have started a WorkFlow via FILE->WORKFLOW->MANAGE PROCESS and defined required Scenario and Version members. This seems to work just fine for my created Task Lists with Web Forms. Is there another intermitent process to connect the WORKFLOW with the created Task Lists? Or does Hyperion Planning automatically assume the Task List belong to available WorkFlow?
Another question I have is in the Task List creation menu, when creating an individual Task, there are several options for "Task Type", one of which is WorkFlow. What is the difference between this WorkFlow option and the WorkFlow under the File menu? Is is that the WorkFlow created as Task becomes part of a Task List? Is that the only difference, ie make WorkFlow creation part of Task List versus not part of a Task List?
Appreciate all your inputs
Thanks

Hi,
1. Probably you may try "Manage Security filters", but im not sure. If it doesnt work then no way other than creating two tasklists.
2. FYI, workflow will not promote either tasklist nor the webform. it only promotes the "DATA". u shud be careful creating forms for different level users ex: A basic user entry form cant be created for Next level user say manager. he l want to see only his entity level data not the level 0 in our terms.
3. File->Workflow : will be used to start the workflow by the administerator.
Tasklist Type-> workflow : Will be used by the "users" to promote their subsequent data entered or loaded at their level

How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

For a variety of reasons, mostly related to security, the iOS operating system limits what can be done with respect to file uploading and downloading. But whenever you encounter a limitation like this always think, "There must be an app for this."
Check the apps James Ward suggests.

Web Forms and Security

I am trying to automate the web form create filter task (in Hyperion planning). As I understand it there is no command line tool like Essbase does with Import.cmd command to load security filters. It is to taxing on the system to go to create a filter and click on the 100 user’s checkboxes at one time. Yes, I know I can group the users to make things easier, but having individual users and groups is the way they do business in this case.
I have done a few webpages in the past, and I was wondering if I could just read the source of the create filter form and get the ID’s of the users and submit it to the /serverlet/HSPxxxxx through an automated script. But, then I wondered how force the security of the submitting user to the serverlet to a known admin username and password.
Please help.
Thanks
Ed

Thanks for advice.
Let me clarify what happened.
v. 9.3.1
1) I added two groups to write access to a dimension from the Hyperion Planning Web Front End (Workspace).
2) From the web front end went ahead and refreshed the security filters to reflect the changes into Essbase.
I can only do step 2 five users at a time to avoid the server to crash. Is there any way to automate the refresh of the security filters in Essbase.
I have been told you want to use the Planning Web Front end and to push those changes to the Essbase Cube.
Please advise.
Thanks

Time to open Web forms too long for the first connexion !!

Hi
When we first open a web form in the day, the time to open it, is greater than 10 minuts ( the CPU time used to retrieve the webform is measured at about 20 seconds)
When we do open the webform a second time it takes about 20 seconds to open it!!
Have someone meet this case?
What do we have to change in order to enhance the openning duration of the webforms?
Thanks
environment:
Serveur IBM, OS Windows 2003 server
Hyperion planning 11.1.1
Edited by: RYAG on 26 avr. 2010 14:56

Does it take 10 minutes to open on the server, if it takes 10 minutes on the server and only 20 seconds of that is CPU processing then are you saying for over 9 minutes it is rendering the form in your browser, you can check the browser process on the machine.
If you do want to check or increase the maximum heap size then have a read of :- Re: Heap sizes with Planning11.1.1.3 & Weblogic help
I would also check how much memory the JVM is using when opening the form, you can check using task manager on the server or better still use something like process explorer.

How to use single web form for multiple secure zone signup?

I have multiple secure zones in my website. I want to sell membership of secure zones to users of my website. I want, users signup for multiple secure zone of their choice and submit payment. Is it possible if can you please explain a bit or refer me to an doc about it.
Thanks a lot for your time,

I realize this isn't likely, but do you know of a way to allow the user to select the secure zone to be registered (e.g. from a list of multiple secure zones or entering ID of one sz into a text input) from within a single web form? I wonder if this can be passed in through a parameter in the action URL or through a special system field.
Thanks

How do you set up the paypal standard gateway to work without a web form?

I must have missed a step. I have this site set up and the paypal standard gateway does not work with a web form, but works with shopping cart. Does that mean I need to disable the web form page and use something else to check out? How do you do this? The BC help page on this stops at this point in describing what to do.

For those who are running Windows and controlling the Airport Base Station with Airport for Windows. Apple just came out with a firmware update for Airport Extreme (7.7.2). It so happens that this Firmware version requires Airport Software version 6.3 or newer. The Windows version only goes as high as Version 5.6 or so. I was also told that Apple is unlikely to upgrade this software. To make a long story short you need to control (Configure) your Airport Base Station with an iMac, or an iPhone or iPad with the Airport app. This solved my problems. Good Luck :)

How to calculate the size of web forms in hyperion planning?

Hi Experts,
I am trying to calculate the size of planning forms in Hyperion smart view., but i am unable to find out the way to calculate.
Can you pls explain how to calculate the size of web form in Smart view?
--- Srini.

Hi Srini,
First, here is what Oracle says:
Data Form Size Estimation:
To get a rough estimate of data form size, open the data form and select File > Save As from the browser. The size of the .HTML file is the portion of the data form that changes based on grid size. The .JS files remain the same size and can be cached, depending on browser settings. Information such as data form definitions, pages, and .gif files are not compressed when data forms are opened and sent to the Web browser.
I have not been able to find out using their method.
In any case, you can find out the size of grid by using below
1. Right click on the form grid and click "View source"
2. Save the source file as "Example.html"
3. Right click the saved file and click "Properties"
4. The Form size whould be same as that of file..
Let me know if it helps.
Cheers

I can't get the file attachment in a web form to work

I have a web form made in Business Catalyst that I'm having some problems with. I have added a file attachment option, but I can't get this to work properly.
When a user chooses a file and sends the form, the message that is being sent includes the name of the file that was attached, but not the file itself! What am I doing wrong?
This is the web form (in Norwegian, but you get the idea of where the file upload is) In this form, the file "produktark_plusstjenester.pdf" has been attached.
The e-mail that is being sent now looks like this (I have removed the private information). But as you can see, it mentions the file produktark_plusstjenester.pdf (94,45 kb), but it is not attached in the e-mail itself.
Hope someone can clarify this for me

File on web forms is attached to the case. Go to the case in the admin and you can retrieve the file.

Web Part Error: A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported. The type could not be found or it is not registered as safe.

We have an SharePoint services 3.0 installation that uses custom web parts on 100s of subsites. The custom web parts on any website is presenting this error
Web Part Error: A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported. The type could not be found or it is not registered as safe.
This past weekend we decided to create a new database server and migrate the databases to the new server in an effort to retire an old box.
INitially we attempted to go through the configuration wizard which didnt do anything but add a new database server to our farm. What we have done is remove the new database server from the farm and use an alias on the SP server to continue to use
the same name but actually get its data from the new database server.
Everything works with the site except these custom webparts.
Any thoughts on where to go to first, should i redeploy what i think are the webparts from VS 2005 (solutions are VS 2005 slns.)?
Tony Spaulding

You need to make Safe Control enteries in your web.config for the particular web application.
Open web.config
Locate the SafeControls Tag
Make a safe control entry
<SafeControl Assembly="Assembly name, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=d8eb6481d8b4beec" Namespace="your webpart namespace" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />
In order to find the assembly details, Open the GAC. Right click on your dll and then click properties.
