WL Security realm

          All,
          where should we put WL security realm classes for clustering WLS? (global or cluster weblogic.properties)? As we know WL security realm uses session to keep information available thru connection cycle, how does WL handle failed over to next available node?
          Brian

Hi Steven
1. What you want is totally possible BUT you can have your Users only in one Security Provider. To access bpm/workspace, all the users will be referred in the first top most security provider. So make sure, your AD Authenticator is in the Top Most and also all these providers should be set to SUFFICIENT / OPTIONAL.
Below these 2 posts should give more details:
Weblogic administrator account is inactive after enabling DB Authenticator
Re: BPM 11g workspace not show user from OVD - top most authentication provider
Thanks

How to implement a tree like security realm?

hi all:
i am working on a project . it's a very complex one and most importantly there's
so many
functions( 1000 or more) and every fuction should be protected resources. so i have
to define many roles and map the roles to the many functions. it's a very tiring
job and
i am not sure the role to function mapping is stable one. because the mapping is
saved in
a xml file and this file is depolyed with the application, so if there s any changes
we have to redeploy all the application and restart the server.
there s still another problem. we want security realm to be a tree instead of
a flat one( weblogic's group is a flat one ) . if we assign a node to a role all
its children
belong to the same role.
so is there way to do this. any solution?
regards
daniel wang

maybe you could exploit the way ACLs have dotted names to reflect your tree
structure, so the acl root applies to all functions, root.branch1 only
applies to functions on branch branch1, and root.branch1.branch2 applies to
functions on branch2 of branch1. there´s an api that gets the most specific
acl given a path to a node.
i'm not it´s acls that you want to correspond to nodes, but maybe you can
work out some kind of scheme that gives you what you want.

How to retrieve Global Roles in a the current security realm?

Is there a WLS API available that obtains a list of mapped global roles (defined in a security realm) from an application?
I want to be able to do a getRoles call against an authenticated user. So far, I'm only able to use isUserInRole. What I need is a list of all global roles mapped to a user's group.
Thanks all...

Adding a user to the File Security Realm

Hello,
When I attempt to add a new user to the file realm with Application Server->Security-Realms->file-> Manage Users, I get the error:
A "com.sun.enterprise.tools.guiframework.exception.FrameworkError" was caught. The message from the exception: "Unable to get View for ViewDescriptor 'fileUsers'"
The root cause is "java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0"
See the HTML source for more detailed (stack trace) information.
When I look at the file C:\Sun\AppServer\domains\samples/config/keyfile I see the new user added, but the Admin Console is not happy...
Please advise.
-- POC

There are some issues in admin gui for managing security service in beta.
I have verified that this has been fixed in FCS branch.
Since the user and password has been written to keyfile in your scenario, it may be OK.
You can try to use the user. If this is not working, then restarting the server should work.
Another way is to create user by using asadmin command. This is working fine in beta.

Errors encountered while using a Custom Security Realm on a Platform Domain

Hi,
We have created a WebLogic Platform Domain. A WebLogic Portal application(Portal
7.0) and some Web Service apps are running on this domain.
We have created a Custom Security Realm b'cos of our application requirements
and now when I startup the Platform Domain, I see lot of errors.
Some of the errors typically are
"<Jan 16, 2003 4:07:02 PM EST> <Error> <HTTP> <101256> <The run-as user: wlisystem,

Hello Vikram,
Are you using the new WLS 7.0 security framework? It is not supported for
Portal 7.0. For Portal 7.0 apps you have to use compatibility mode (6.x
style) security.

What is the best way to deploy/update custom security realm classes to WLS 6.0?

From the WLS 6.0 console, I see that I can specify the Java class that
implements my custom security realm but I am wondering what is the best way
to deploy/update this code. I don't see a way to do this from the console.
Does this mean that I have to manually copy the class files over that
implement my custom security realm?

Thanks Danut,
A jar file seems to be a good way to package it up but it sounds like it
still needs to be manually copied to each Weblogic server install directory
post-installation and whenever it is updated. I thought it would be nice to
be able to deploy/update the custom security realm by uploading it through
the Console just as you can with web applications and EJBs.

You have to have your Custom Realm class in the class path. I usually havea
jar file with all the Custom Realm classes and that jar I copy it in thelib
folder. Then I modify "startWebLogic.cmd" and I add to the classpath
".\lib\CustomRealm.jar"
set
CLASSPATH=.;.\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;.\lib\weblogic.jar;.\lib\CustomRealm.jar;
>
Be aware that in order to have you custom realm besides creating thecustom
realm using the console you also have to create a custom caching andchoose
that one as your default caching realm.
Here is how the security settings are looking in my "config.xml"
<CustomRealm Name="CustomRealm"
RealmClassName="Custom.appserver.weblogic.security.CustomRealm"/>
<CachingRealm BasicRealm="CustomRealm" CacheCaseSensitive="true"
Name="CustomCachingRealm"/>
<Realm CachingRealm="CustomCachingRealm" FileRealm="wl_default_file_realm"

<FileRealm Name="wl_default_file_realm"/>

Name="mydomain" PasswordPolicy="wl_default_password_policy"

Authentication via weblogic security realm

          My servlet needs to access a session bean. The action in the session bean requires
          that a user has been authorized, i.e. at some point the session been calls
          String name = d_ctx.getCallerPrincipal().getName()
          This name may not be null at this time.
          What I would like to have is that the user executing the URL gets authenticated
          by my server realm 'myrealm' and that the associated prinicpal gets passed to
          the session bean. Is this possible. If so, how can the user pass along the username
          and password as this query is executed programmatically?

The passing of the client's certificate should be automatic to WebLogic.We
have an example of getting the client side certificate from inside of

This does not require for SSL to be used from the Web server to

I have read through the docs and haven't found anything that would

the following confusion:
Suppose I want to use Apache or IPlanet as the webserver with WebLogicas
the back end application server (obviously). I have the need to use 2way
SSL authentication. As I understand it the following applies:
Client (browser) has a certificate as does the web server. Theyauthenticate
each other.
Now, the web server and weblogic need to communicate. WebLogic, in our
environment does authentication via the security realm.
What do I have to do to get the the web server (Apache or IPlanet) to
communicate the client's certificate to WebLogic so the WebLogic canperform
the authentication?
Does the communication between the web server and WebLogic also need
to
be
SSL?

LDAP Security Realm

Using Weblogic 7.0 I have an LDAP security realm setup with the LDAP URL admins
user name and password. I want to be able to interface this connection to access
the LDAP and make changes to user information within in the ldap. Right now in
my code I make a connection to the LDAP and supply the same user name and password
set up in the LDAP security realm. I want to be able to rather then re-supply
the URL and user name and password in my code I want to be able to just get that
(or create a connection simil;ar to a jdbc connection pool) connection to the
LDAP that configured in the Security Realm. Is this possible? And how would I
go about it if so?

BEA-090078 User ovowl in security realm myrealm has had 5 invalid login

Hi,
I created new domain for 10.3.4.0. there are two default users weblogic and OracleSystemUser. But in admin stdoutlog file, there are continuous below errors
<XXXXXXXXX> <Notice> <Security> <BEA-090078> <User ovowl in security realm myrealm has had 5 invalid login attempts, locking account for 30
minutes.>
can you pls let me know where can i find ovowl user in weblogic domain.
Thanks.

my guess is this user "ovowl" doesn't exist at all.
I have tried logging into the console for 5 times with a non existing username, and I got the same error:

Using LDAP as security realm

Hi,
Our goal is to use LDAP(Iplanet Directory Server 5.0) as a security Realm
for Weblogic Personalization and Commerce 3.5.
Using the WLCS console, I've modified the config.xml file and following
elements are added:
<LDAPRealm AuthProtocol='simple' Credential='admin'
GroupDN='ou=groups,dc=netnumina,dc=com' GroupIsContext='false'
GroupUsernameAttribute='uniquemember'
LDAPURL='ldap://sanand.netnumina.com:389' Name='wlcsLDAPRealm'
Principal='uid=admin,ou=administrators,ou=topologymanagement,o=netscaperoot'
UserAuthentication='local' UserDN='ou=people,dc=netnumina,dc=com'
UserNameAttribute='uid'/>
<CachingRealm BasicRealm='wlcsLDAPRealm' CacheCaseSensitive='true'
Name='wlcsCachingRealm'/>
But when we try to restart the WLCS, it throws java exceptions that context
is not initialized and I get the following error
<Jun 15, 2001 3:41:28 PM EDT> <Emergency> <Server> <Unable to initialize the

I tried using Windows NT as a security realm but that gave me errors too.
Does anyone has any experience using anything other than the default Realm?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm not sure, but I suspect you can't
since this would create a circular dependency -
your realm would rely on the upper level security
checking calls but those calls would rely on your
realm.
My suggestion is to give it a try and see what
happens.

Unable to use a custom security realm with Netscape Directory Server in WebLogic 7

I have all users and groups stored in a Netscape LDAP server (version 4.1.6 on
Solaris 8), so I want to create a custom security realm in WebLogic 7 (also run
on Solaris 8) which uses my LDAP server as the Authenticator. I tried this by
using the Admin Console and followed exactly the steps in Chapter 3 of the "Managing
WebLogic Security" doc. However, when I rebooted WebLogic and logged into the
Admin Console again and clicked the Users node under my custom realm, I saw this
message in the right-hand pane: "There are no Authentication providers available
that support the creation of Users". Also, I don't see my custom realm in the
dropdown list under mydomain -> Security tab -> General tab -> Default Realm.
What did I do wrong? Also, where does WebLogic store the custom security realm
info? It is definitely not in config.xml.

Use another security realm

I don't remember how have I done it. Somehow I made me a 'file' based realm (name file) and then set in weblogic-application.xml
<security>
<realm-name>file</realm-name>
</security>and I remember that that was it...
but now... it gives me weblogic.security.service.InvalidParameterException: [Security:090396]Security Realm file does not exist ...
If i do the same thing with the defaul myrealm it works... I don't remember setting the file realm as default...
Do you know how can I change the realm for my application?

BEA WebLogic 8.1 server not booting after adding a security realm

Hi,
I have added my own security realm for BEA WebLogic Server 8.1.
However, when I try to boot the server using this realm, it simply hangs. I cannot
take thread dumps as the server java process does not respond to "kill -3 PID"
(after the server has hung).
When I looked at the server log file, I observed that the server had hung after
initializing the IIOP subsystem.
I have attached herewith the following 3 files:
1. config.xml (the server config file after adding entry for my security realm)
2. default_realm.log (the server log file when booted through the default realm)
3. netpoint_realm.log (the server log file when booted through my realm).
Is there any way, I can debug where the server is exactly hanging?

OWSM security for a OSB service- authenticate from weblogic security realms

Hello,
I have a requirement to add security to a OSB service.
The user details are configured in weblogic security realms. lets say there are ten different users.
I need to protect my osb service using OWSM policy & the policy should be configured to authenticate the user from realms.
I am new to OWSM & wondering if this is possible?
Can the experts please direct me to any docs or steps?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the links.
I followed the blog and configured it using oracle/wss_username_token_service_policy.
Now my requirement is to send the username,password from proxy to business and to the BPEL. (the bpel needs this username /password & and in header)
The issue I am facing is the proxy service is not sending the soap header details to business service.
I dont want to make the proxy as passthrough. (ie set Process WS-Security Header to NO)
I have to authorize on proxy level and then send the same credential details to business service?
So the question is, how can I retrieve the header after osb process it?
Can anyone please help me here?

How to configure security realm for Active Directory ?

Hi,
Can any body suggest how to configure security realm in weblogic 8.1
I have simple login page where in user can enter his credentials, and i have MS-Active Directory where we maintain all users.
users who loged into web application has to be authenticated from Active Directory.
please suggest what are the steps that we need to follow
thanks in advance

Hi Sankar,
You can login to the weblogic server admin console and create a new realm.
Once you have created the realm you can add the authentication provider.You add the Active Authentication Provider.But you must have the the configuration inforamation of MS AD.You can read my blog http://dev2dev.bea.com/blog/bishnu_kumar/
where the integration is with iPlanet LDAP.Steps will be similar.
You must have a login portlet in your portal application and that should have been in accordance with j2ee security standards.For example you may use basic authentication or userlogin control or p13n API

Bishnu
