WLI-8.1 Problem using external LDAP authenticaion provider

I added a second authentication provider that uses iPlanet DS to authenticate. My external LDAP users show up in the WebLogic Server Admin Console, but they do not show up in the Integration Console's User Management section. I also can't authenticate through the Worklist app as one of the external users. Can anyone help?

There is a patch available for this. pls. check with bea support.

Authentication in weblogic portal server 8.1 sp2 using external LDAP

Hi,
I am trying to use external LDAP for authentication.
I have configured the ActiveDirectoryAuthenticator giving the necessary
values
( and added
"-Dcom.bea.p13n.usermgmt.AuthenticationProviderName=ActiveDirectoryAuthentic
ator" in startWeblgoic.cmd )
and can see the users and the groups from my LDAP provider in the admin
console and in the admin portal's "users and groups".
A set of users are given permission to access the restricted site and those
users are visible in the global role with the permission.
The web.xml is configured for BASIC auth-method, and the role is
<externally-defined/> in weblogic.xml.
Now when I access a restricted page, I am shown a dialog prompt to key in
the username and password.
Even when I key in the valid credentials, the restricted page is not shown
and an "Unauthorized xxx" 401 access error is thrown.
Any clue, on what i am missing.?
Please let me know if any suggestion / idea.
Regards,
Arun.

Assuming your application is a WebLogic Portal application, then yes you would definitely need to install WLP 8.1. WLP version 8.1 is the only version of WLP that will run on WLS/WLW version 8.1.
In order to obtain the product installer, you'll need to contact Oracle Support and file a request. It is not available for download from any Oracle public site. Only version 10.3 is available for download.

Identity Server using external LDAP

anyone have idea whether ID Server can use external an LDAP server for authentication, like the Policy Server in Portal Server 3 ?
Wilson.

You typically need to use our JNDI store. We strongly recommend this for
performance reasons..
You can use the JNDI To LDAP bridge which is available from the sun web
site.

DISPLAYNAME when Using External LDAP

Hi all,
I'm using OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.6.0 onwards).
I'm using an external LDAP (OpenLDAP, MSAD, etc). I'm looking for a way to populate the DISPLAYNAME session variable from the LDAP name attribute so that when logged in, the DISPLAYNAME is shown in OBIEE (instead of USER).
Is this possible in OBIEE 11g? I remember it's possible in 10g.
Any suggestion on how to achieve this? Thanks a lot!

Login to Oracle Enterprise Manager (http://<servername>:7001/em ), navigate to WebLogic Domain > bifoundation_domain > Security > Security Provider Configuration
then
In the Identity Store Provider, click on Configure button. In Identity Store Configuration add 2 properties:
Property name: user.login.attr, Value : sAMAccountName
Property name: username.attr, Value: sAMAccountName
Note:- sAMAccountName , this is for MSAD, you need to find out attribute for some other LDAP
lemme know in case of issues
please mark thread as answered and Assign point , if above soln answere's ur question.

How to configure webcenter services to use external LDAP?

Reassociating the identity store with an external LDAP server is mandatory only if you're using the Documents service and/or the Discussions service, in which case the WC_Spaces server, Content Server, and Collaboration server must all be configured to use the same external LDAP server.
The question is how to configure?
Is there any document which details this?
Please help! this is urgent.

Problem using external jars in my java component

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to ask how to properly reference an external jar to a java dc. I already have an external library dc which contains my external jars and also compilation and assembly public parts, a j2ee library which has the assembly public part of the external jars that is deployed to the server, a java dc which has the compilation public part of the external jar.
My problem is whenever I trigger a method of the java dc in my webdynpro dc I'm having an exception. weird thing is when I put the whole method from the java dc to the webdnypro dc it functions well. So I'm thinking if the interaction between my java dc and j2ee lib dc has to do with this maybe I'm missing some configuration.
need your insight on this one.
Thanks,

Problem with WLS LDAP Authentication Provider

We have configured WLS LDAP Authentication provider on an Oracle Service Bus domain, which is used to authenticate WS-Security Username Token and SAML Tokens against an external LDAP Directory (Sun Directory Server). After configuring this, we see that the "Users & Groups" page on the WLS Admin console is getting populated with all the user ids available in LDAP. The organization corporate directory has thousands of user ids, and WLS is executing a generic query against LDAP to fetch all the users. This query would have a major performance impact on the LDAP Directory? Is there any way to prevent this generic query from happening? Any suggestions would help.
Edited by: Ramakrishnan Venkataraman on Feb 1, 2011 11:46 AM

Yes, you can apply filters on the Providers configuration, also u can select the DN from where to feth the users, you can fetch users with special attributes.
Whole lot of things can be done, review the options under providers.
Let me know if you have any doubts.

Huge problems using external iSight or DV video camera on my MPB DCD...

Ok, so I am developing some applications that make use of a video camera for motion tracking, and I have run into a huge problem when trying to use any external video camera. I have both an external iSight in great working order (I have tested it on my tower, which is also brand new, but on 10.4 for reasons of other applications not yet supported on 10.5.1) and also a Sony DCR-TRV520 NTSC Digital Handycam. (Once again, works perfectly when plugged in to the tower.) But if I plug either of them in to my MBP, no programs recognize their existence at all, be it iChat, iMovie, or my application. Nothing shows up in system profiler either. I try reboots, I get nothing... the internal iSight constantly takes over or is my only choice in applications.
And before you even ask, yes, my firewire port works, as I can plug my external firewire solo audio interface into it no problems, and no, I don't have any other firewire devices plugged in when trying to get the computer to recognize they are there.
Quick response would be awesome, as I am on a timeline to finish the program development and it is very important that I get this to work, preferably the Sony.

I just read this in their Forum mate ...

Problem using external database link.

Help:
Here is th problem I am having. I have a workflow that reads and writes to external datasource using HS services. The workflow reads and then writes to the HS datasource in a function. After the function completes it needs to close the database link. You cannot close the database link until the commit happens, which you cannot do in a function or you get an error. This is a catch 22. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
You could invoke your function as an autonomous transaction, and do a commit there. Not sure if that helps you close the database link or not.
Alternatively, you could package the data to be transferred into a message on an AQ and propagate that data across the database link to the workflow system, and process it asynchronously.

Jar File Problem Using External Packages

I am having problems creating an Executable jar file that imports classes from my own package.
I can create an exe jar no problem without using any external packages, but when I use an external package the jar will not execute.
I am using WindowsXP, my package is in,
C:/MyClasses/Database
the class files are stored loose, not in a jar file
I have tried altering the class-path in the manifest file, but to no joy - I may have not changed the classpath correctly!
Please help
Magic

This is a mine field of "correct programming style."
External jars, if very general, could be placed in the directory jre/lib/ext.
In some cases you can unzip the external jars and add them to your own jar.
The manifest.mf migth be looked into, and of course you need to communicate your patching!
As you remarked, it might be a problem of class path usage.
For that the jar tool documentation might explain it better than I.

$$PORTLET_ID$$ problem using external JS file

Hi mates, I have the following problem ..
I have JS functions in an external file and I'm trying to use the following adaptive tag in a JSP.
<pre>
<pt:namespace
pt:token="$$PORTLET_ID$$" xmlns:pt='http://www.plumtree.com/xmlschemas/ptui/'/>
</pre>
I have added $$PORTLET_ID$$ to all my JS functions' names, unfortunately it cannot be replaced into the JS file during runtime.
Is there any way to do this , without using inline JavaScript?

I am not sure about v 5.* (there is no options like this for v 5.*), but in G6 you can check special option (see Advanced Settings screen for Web Service) that allow parse external JS files on the fly (I have never tried by myself but I saw this option in G6).

Authentication problem by external ldap server for WLS 7.0

Hi all,
I have configured iPlanet directory Server to serve as authentication security
provider for WLS 7.0.While doing so I have created a Test security realm and made
it as default.I have also configured the other default settings for the remaining
security providers for the realm.
Now, while I start the WLS with the default username and password, boot-error
comes as given below. As a matter of fact I have also created groups with relevant
username and pwd in the ldap server as specified bu the Bea documentation.
I have tried to remove the problem since last 4 days but all in fiasco.

Thanks Vijay - it has worked by creating the Administrator group in LDAP but Weblogic
documentation also states the creation of any group in Ldap server with the boot
username and pwd and then adding the group in the admin role of WLS7.0 - but this
did not work.
If there is any info regarding the same - pl. do let me know

I think WebLogic 7 requires a group called "Administrators" in the LDAP
server
and requires an user to be added to that group. I have this working in
one of
my projects. The group really doesnt need to be an LDAP administrative
group.
Can you provide any additional information. I might be able to help since
I got
this working only a coupla days back.

Problem using external editor in iPhoto

Using Adobe photoshop CS5 the returned image to Iphoto can not be edited with the Iphoto editor. When the image is exported only an elarged section is exported
Incorrect export
correct export after returned image from photoshop was duplicated in Iphoto

What image format is the file? I may be preaching to the choir but maybe some of this will be of interest to you?
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Give this a try: Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos, edit with CS5 and and check to see if the same problem persists.

Problem using external screen and KVM switch since OSX 10.6.4 update

I've just returned from a trip during which I installed the OSX SL 10.6.4 update on my 13" MacBook Unibody Aluminium (late 2008).
It's been working fine but when I came home and plugged it into my KVM setup my mac could not find the external display. I tried rebooting and reconnecting without any success. The KVM is a Aten CS62DU USB and DVI model. It works great for my PC which is connected to the second input.
Furthermore I've connected the display using only the minidisplay->DVI adapter and a standard DVI cable. This works but not as rigid as it used to. It takes a few connects and disconnects before OSX is able to find the external screen. It seems that the timelimit for handshaking with extrenal screens have been decreased with the 10.6.4 display driver update. Perhaps this is the cause of my problem.
Have anyone experienced something simular since the 10.6.4 update? I really need to get my mac working with my KVM again.

I haven't experienced this specific problem with this specific hardware, but I have updated systems and had to replace KVMs on lower releases of OSX because they simply refused to work.
Any chance a firmware update is available from the manufacturer of the switch?
