XMII Applet and Authentication

Hi,
I have a webpage which has an applet embeded on it. I can access this webpage via a browser from the local xmii server and the applet displays correctly. Whenever I try to access it from a remote client I am getting an "Authentication Required" message where the applet should be. The rest of the page is displayed normally. Can anyone help with this.
In the java console I am getting the following exception:
ERROR - Error Loading Resource File for Applet_: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission http.strictPostRedirect read)
Authenticator::Authentication error is Authentication Required
Thanks,
Mahwish

Hi Mahwish,
I am assuming that you are using an htm or html for you web page extension.  Try changing the extension to irpt to force you to log into xMII prior to loading the page.  You could also use the URL
http://<server name>/Illuminator/PortalLogin.jsp?target=/dir/page.htm
To force htm or html pages to authenticate please see note 930312
Regards,
Jamie Cawley

  • RoleEntityACL|Role Access List | no values, guest and authenticated not shown

    All,
    I enabled RoleEntityACL from configuration manager. Role access list field shows up, but when I type **, there are no values at all. Not even guest and authenticated, OOTB values.
    I added UseEntitySecurity=true, I am able to see add Users and Groups when i type ** in the input field.
    Any pointers here?
    Thanks
    ~

    Srinath,
    I need to see the guest and authenticated values by default after enabling the "RoleEntityACL". Am i missing something here. I have Roles text box enabled, but it is not giving any values even if type **, g or a.
    If i get those values, i can go to configuration manager applet and then add more values.
    However, I did all those u mentioned. Added a new role in ExternalRoleView, Published Schema and Schema Base. Restarted UCM server. But i see null results.
    In General Configuration:
    UseEntitySecurity=true
    SpecialAuthGroups=TestGroup,Public
    In Advanced Component Manager:
    Enabled RoleEntityACL.
    I am able to add users and groups(aliases) in the access control list at the folder level. but not any roles. Am i missing something here?

  • Pass variable into xMII applet???

    Is it possible to pass a javascript variable into the xMII applet?

    I guess what I asking is could I place a variable that I created in the head of the html file and then call for it in the applet.
    The variable is called in the Applet name below.
    For Example:
    <html>
    <head>
    <script>
            var TEST = alert("")
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <tr>
    <td>
                                       <applet name="TEST" codebase="/Illuminator/Classes" code="iGrid" archive="illum8.zip" width="775" height="350" mayscript>
                                       <param name="DisplayTemplate" value="/Production/gridQA_Moistures">

  • How do I bind to directory server with SSL and authentication?

    I'm running Lion Server 10.7.3, Open Directory master. In Open Directory/Settings/LDAP, I've checked the box to Enable SSL and selected a (self-signed) certificate. In Policies/Binding, I've checked the box to Enable Authenticated Directory Binding.
    Testing with a client computer on which Snow Leopard has been freshly installed and fully updated, I went to System Prefs/Accounts to bind to the new directory server. The good news is, the binding was successful, and when the client initiates an AFP connection with the server, it uses Kerberos, creating a ticket as expected. (Which doesn't work with Lion clients, alas, but that's a seperate matter.)
    Here are the problems:
    1) It looks like the binding did not use SSL. By which I mean that when I opened Directory Utility and examined the LDAPv3 entry, the SSL checkbox was not checked. (If I then check the box, everything looks fine until I restart the client, after which I have a red dot. So I'm guessing that checking the box does nothing until after restart, and that it breaks the binding.)
    2) I was never prompted to authenticate for the directory binding.
    So I get that literally I'm *enabling* SSL and Authenticated Directory Binding, but it seems like the defaults are to bind without SSL or authentication, and there's no obvious-to-me way to force the binding to use those things. How do I do that?
    What I'd really like to do is *require* SSL and Authenticated Directory Binding. I want this because my belief (correct me if I'm wrong) is that if authentication is required to bind to the server, no one will be able to bind to my server without my permission, and that SSL offers a more secure connection to my server than not-SSL. How do I require these things, or do I not really want to?
    Thank you.

  • IIS, Javascript, Signed Applet and ASP Blank Page Problem

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem using a Signed Applet in a site that runs in a IIS (Windows Server 2003).
    My aspx web page uses the applet to read my smart card and get information from it.
    This applet uses an auxiliar dll (stored in a second Signed Jar file) in order to read the information from my smart card.
    The way the solution is design:
    1) Aspx page is asked from server
    2) Internet Explorer recieve the page and asks the server for it content (images, applet, javascripts, etc)
    3) After this the JVM runs (console opens)
    4) After the Aspx page render fully a javascript register onload fires and call an applet method
    5) Applet receive the call and run the logic of the method:
         - reads the smart card;
         - calls Javascript function in order to fill aspx fields with information from smart card
         - calls Javascript function the simulates a click in a botton of aspx page (in order to call server side part sending data readed from smart card to server)
    5) The server makes some logic with the information receive and responds to client registering in aspx page a call to another Javascrit function
    6) The client received the asnwer from server and runs the Javascript function registered on step 5)
         This Javascript calls another method from applet and runs the following logic:
         - reads more information from smart card;
         - call javascript function in order to fill more fields of aspx page with the information readed
         - calls Javascript function the simulates a click in a botton of aspx page (in order to call server side part sending data readed from smart card to server)
    7) The server makes some logic and call another pages with no Applets
    8) Client asks for a second page with the same applet and we start with another logic express on steps 1);2);3),4);5) and then 7).
    This is all ok, until sometimes the server stop responding correcly for requests regarding this two pages with the Applet.
    When this happens the server just responds with a blank page.
         - with fiddler I can seer the request for the aspx page (that uses the applet)
         - but server responds with a blank html page
    The JVM doesn't fire.
    The IIS log don't show errors.
    The eventviewer doesn't show errors.
    The problem is solved with an IIS reset or a Application Pool reset.
    After a while the problem returns.
    This problem occours for other user in another machine, the server just stops responding correcly to request regarding pages with applets, the other pages still continue to work.
    If we disable Java Control Panel->Advanced->Java Plug-in->Enable the next-generation Java Plug-in the problem seend to stop, but we can't force all clients to disable this option right?
    Or there is a way to force the Applet to run with this option disabled?
    As anyone experience similar problem?
    Regards,
    OF

    This is all ok, until sometimes the server stop responding correcly for requests regarding this two pages with the Applet.
    When this happens the server just responds with a blank page.
    - with fiddler I can seer the request for the aspx page (that uses the applet)
    - but server responds with a blank html pageWell, if http requests look identical in case of success and failure (pay attention to cookies, etc) then it has to be something on the server side.
    It could be that server gets into this wrong state because of previous requests made by applet but it is hard to tell.
    I am not clear how old/new plugin can make a difference unless your applets run in the legacy mode (i.e. you are actually trying to reuse SAME instance of the applet when
    it is loaded next time).
    I'd start with
    1) carefully comparing good/bad sessions
    2) checking whether server will serve correct response to another client when it serves "bad" page for current client
    3) add debug statements to aspx - it is scripted page, may be some condition is not met and then it returns blank?
    4) record all http requests in one session until you get to "error" state and then use any http server testing tool to "replay" this set of requests.
    You should be able to get server into the same state without use of applet. Then you can try to tweak set of requests to see what makes a difference.

  • I need help with Applets and Multithreading

    [hello all.  first time poster. big fan of java.]
    now to the important matter: Applets and Threads
    =======================================
    1) I have an applet with that implements the runnable interface, and has one thread (and a simple animation). If I try to view this applet in the applet viewer with JGrasp, it spits an insane error telling me
    "java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission modifyThreadGroup)"
    but, if I run the applet through a web browser, by putting it in an html document, it runs correctly, without error
    What on earth is wrong, and how do I fix it?!?
    2) I want to put 2 threads in my applet?
    If I implement the Runnable interface, I can only have one Run() method in my applet, right?
    So how do I define behaviour for 2 threads when I only have one run method in which to define the behaviour? Can I use two threads with the runnable interface, or do I have to make objects of my own defined thread classes?
    3) I tried to make 2 threads in my applet by creating my own thread classes, and instantiating them in my applet (instead of implementing the runnable interface).
    I still get the same insane error as I mentioned in my first point (which I expected), except now, the applet won't work even when viewed through a web browser!!
    Please please help me. I am frustrated beyond belief (at what is probably a very simple problem)
    I have searched and searched all over and found no answers on this

    If I try to view this applet in the applet viewer with JGrasp, it spits an insane error telling me
    "java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission modifyThreadGroup)"Don't know anything about JGrasp, but it runs with pretty tight security - thats what this insane error is all about. Use the appletviewer or a browser.
    If I implement the Runnable interface, I can only have one Run() method in my applet, right?Correct
    So how do I define behaviour for 2 threads when I only have one run method in which to define the behaviour?
    Can I use two threads with the runnable interface, or do I have to make objects of my own defined thread classes?You can create two Runnable implementations (classes) in your applet.
    example (missing code)
    class MyApplet extends Applet {
      void doSomething() {
      void doSomethingElse() {
      void startThreads() {
        Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() { public void run() { doSomething();}});
        t.start();
        t = new Thread(new Runnable2());
        t.start();
      class Runnable2 implements Runnable {
         public void run() {
           doSomethingElse();
    }If the above seems confusing, read up on anonymous and inner classes.
    3) I tried to make 2 threads in my applet by creating my own thread classesTry not subclassing thread - this causes a security check

  • Socket communication failure between Java applet and C++ application

    I have a java applet that connects to a C++ application via Java's ServerSocket and Socket objects. THe C++ application is using the Winsock 2 API. The applet and application are running on an NT workstation (SP 6) and using IE (5.5) For a very simple C++ test applications the communictions work fine. Once more code gets added to the C++ application the portion of the socket that C++ listens to seems to close. Upon performing a recv call the return value is a zero. Microsoft insists this is a sign the Java side has shut down the socket. The Java applet can still receive messages from the C++ app but C++ cannot receive responses from the Java side. Java throws no exceptions and an explicit check of the socket shows no errors. Again, what puzzles me is that it works for simple C++ applications. Are there any known conflicts between Java and C++ in this regard?
    I have inlcuded the basic java code segments below.
    / run Method.
      * This method is called by the Thread.start() method. This
      * method is required for the implementation of the Runnable interface
      * This method sets up the server side socket communication and
      * contiuously loops looking for requests from a external
      * socket.
      * @author Chris Duke
      public void run(){
         // create socket connections
         boolean success = false;
         try {
             cServerSocket = new ServerSocket(cPortID);
             System.out.println("Waiting for client to connect...");
             cClientSocket = cServerSocket.accept();
             System.out.println("Client connected");
             // Create a stream to read from the client
             cInStream = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
               cClientSocket.getInputStream()));
             // Create a stream to write to the client       
             cOutStream = new PrintWriter(
               cClientSocket.getOutputStream(), true);
             success = true;
         }catch (IOException e) {
             System.out.println("CommSocket:Run - Socket Exception(1) " + e);
             success = false;
         // if the socket was successfully created, keep the thread running
         while (success){
             try{
                // check socket to see if it is still available for reading
                if (cInStream != null && cInStream.ready()){
                    // check for an incoming message
                    String message = ReceiveMessage();
                    // Send message to listeners
                    Event(message);
                if (cInStream == null){
                    success = false;
                    System.out.println("CommSocket:Run - shutdown");
             }catch (IOException e){
                System.out.println("CommSocket:Run - Socket not ready exception");
                break;
    // SendMessage method -
      *  Sends a text message to a connected listener through port specified by portID
      * @author Chris Duke
      * @param  String message - This will be the message sent out through the server
      * socket's port specified by portID.
       public void SendMessage(String message){
          cOutStream.println(message);
          if (cOutStream.checkError() == true)
            System.out.println("SendMessage : Flush = Error");
          else{
            System.out.println("SendMessage : Flush - No Error");
       }

    a very simple C++ test applications the communictions work fine. Once more code gets added to the C++ application the portion of the socket that C++ listens to seems to close.
    This quite strongly implicates the extra code in the C++ App. The firstly thing I would try would be telnet. Try connecting to both versions of the C++ Application and manually reproducing a proper exchange.
    a recv call the return value is a zero. Microsoft insists this is a sign the Java side has shut down the socket.
    A correct implementation of recv should return the number of bytes received, or -1 for an error. A zero return indicates no bytes received not a socket closed/error. This sounds like FUD to me.
    Are there any known conflicts between Java and C++ in this regard?
    I can see no obvious faults, though the code is incomplete, I don't think it's an sockets implementation issue, at either end, it sounds more likely to be a protocol/handshaking bug in the C++ App.

  • Security issues with applets and windows Vista when printing to file

    Hi, everyone
    I am currently developing an application that prints out the result of some calculations.
    from a Javascript file, the output finally ends up in a java applet that should print the file in a special printer.
    For debugging purposes I have created a File printer that creates a file from the output comming to the printer; this way I can debug what commands the printer is receiving.
    This worked well on Windows Xp; Vista always asks for permissions for the applet, and altough I guarantee these permissions, printer is not allowed to create the output file and reports an error writing
    after a little research, I have found that java applets have all permissions when certificated as trusted applications; all but file creating permissions
    anyone has any idea of how could I fix this problem?
    Thanks in advance

    HI,
    Have you actually signed your applet? If the signers certificate is the trusted key store for Java it should treat your applet as trusted. You can use a self signed certificate for testing as long as the cert is in the trusted key store.
    Some links that might help:

    Can any one help me? Thank you very much!!!!

    Hi AndrewThompson64:
    Did you mean the JNA project? Or are you refering to JNI, or ..something else?Yes, I mean is that I wanna jna.jar to replace JNI to code with Applet. I want Applet can run native library(.dll files).
    That reads like so much nonsense to me.Sorry fo that.
    Was there any 'caused by' part that you trimmed? I expected to see something to do with 'Security' or 'AccessControl'.Sorry, I can't saw any 'cause by' subsentence there. This message is just gain from Applet Console.(Is there any method to gain more message?)
    About 'Security' and 'AccessControl' I just modify my java.policy file to allpermission. Subsequently, I signed all jar files.
    For now I have 3 jar files(all have been signed ):
    --example.jar :  for this little program.(code include applet and application entry)
    --jna.jar
    --win32-x86.jar : include kernel32.dll and jnidispatch.dll for win32 and x86.
    and 2 JNLP files:
    --JNAApplet.jnlp the entry is JNAApplet.class (this jnlp does not work)
    --JNAApp.jnlp     the entry is JNAApp.class  (this jnlp works)
    And for now new error message show like this:
    Exception in thread "thread applet-JNAApplet-1" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Library 'Kernel32' was not found by class loader sun.plugin2.applet.JNLP2ClassLoader@4aeb52

    Did you mean invoke?
    Revoke: To annul by withdrawing.
    Invoke: To call on.Yes, you got it. Thank you.
    The JNLP file is invalid. ..I was about to put my 'standard' text here, but I'm sick of saying it. Search the forum for my posts - 50% of them, at least, mention validation and how to go about it.
    Also, the applet-desc requires a documentbase.Thank you, I really think I have some invalid section. But I can't find it, and you said 'Search the forum for my posts - 50% of them...' , I can read the JNLP structure on site of sun and I can to read you post too(I'm doing like this).*I only want to know about how to load "native lib like *.dll" properly*.
    What 'officer site'?I mean jna project site. Sorry for ambiguity.
    Please fix that sticky '!' key. One '!' indicates astonishment, while two or more typically indicates a bozo. Thanks for your advice. Because I tried to find solution do my best lasting two days. I got nothing. I'm sadness.

  • How to access a file via Applet and JavaScript

    I want to copy one file on the client machine from one place to another place from a Java Bean.
    To do this I created an applet and a Java Bean as follows:
    import java.applet.*;
    public class FileUtils extends Applet {
        public void copyFile(String src, String dest)  {
        private String source, destination; // setters/getters are there of course
        public void copyFile(ActionEvent actionEvent) { // Bean
            FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
            ExtendedRenderKitService erks = Service.getRenderKitService(fctx, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
            String command = "var s = '"+ source +"'; var d ='" + destination +"'; " +  " document.fileUtilsApplet.copyFile(s, d); ";
            erks.addScript(fctx, command);
        }Then I added the APPLET tag referencing the above class in the page fragment:
                    <f:verbatim>
                        <applet code="FileUtils.class" name="fileUtilsApplet" height="30"
                                archive="/context-root/Applet.jar"
                                width="200">
                        </applet>
                    </f:verbatim>From the Java console I can see the jar is successfully downloaded, but when the code in the bean is executed, the JavaScript code does not seem to do anything, as if the "copyFile" public method was not called at all and no output in the Java Console as well.
    Note that I already followed the guidelines at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/71-adf-to-applet-communication-307672.pdf .
    Do you have any ideas?

    Ok, I can see the permission problem now:
    java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission c:\myfile.txt read)
         at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
         at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
         at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
         at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkRead(Unknown Source)
         at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
    Edited by: user10047839 on 1-feb-2013 7.29
    signing the Jar and downloading the certificate permanently does not change anything in Firefox. The Java console keeps giving the above exception.
    Any idea?

  • Deploy Applet and MySQL - how to read and write

    Question on deploying Applet and MySQL
    I am building an applet that is to be a part of a simple game. The applet is supposed to read data from a MySQL server and use it to place towns on the map. In addition, the applet must be able to write to the base.
    I have build a prototype and ran it in netbeans on my computer. It then successfully read data from a local MySQL base. HOWEVER; when I embed the applet in html code it no longer reads from the base. My method for connecting to the base is
    try{
    Statement stmt;
    ResultSet rs;
    Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
    String url=adress;
    Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, user);
    stmt=con.createStatement();
    rs=stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * " +
    "from "+table+" ORDER BY id");
    while(rs.next()){
    get data...
    Town T=new Town(data...); //construct town object
    TL.put(T); //put town objects in an object TownList to use later
    con.close();
    catch(Exception e){
    So;
    1) Why wont the applet read anymore?
    2) Is there a better way to do this? I have heard that its better to connect applets to servlets in some situations. What demands does this place on the server? Is there software that you need to install on the server to use servlets?

    I think I do need an applet. The map I have written permits a lot of features that I dont know how to achieve in another way.
    1) Zooming in and out on mousewheel
    2) Clicking on on two towns gives the distance and by selecting a trooptype one can get information about the traveltime between cities.
    3) Right now, I have a feature to find players or groups of players that are of special interest. It allows a player to submit a list of interesting players. The applet reads this list and provides a button with the players name. If one clicks the name of a player, all his cities flash between their originall color and white (using thread).
    I need java to do this and I need to run it in a webbrowser because there are som parts of the game that is made up of php. So I assume I have to build it as an applet?

  • Help. How do you TAB from HTML component to applet (and back) ?

    How can one tab between applets in a browser, and from an applet to an HTML component?
    For example, I have the following in my page in decending order:
    an HTML text field,
    an applet containing two components,
    and another HTML text field.
    When focus is on the first HTML text field pressing TAB should shift focus to the first component of the applet, the next TAB press shifts focus to the second component of the applet, and the next TAB press shifts focus to the other HTML text field. Then another TAB press cycles back to the first TEXT field.
    I can handle the tabbing within the applet using the FocusManager, but how can I get the applet to receive focus on a TAB from the browser, and once the applet has focus, how can I give focus back to the browser when a TAB occurs from my last applet sub-component?
    At the moment a user has to click on the applet before he can tab in it, and then click outside it to tab in the html again.
    Any help appreciated, as I cant find any reference to how to do this apart from other people asking the same but getting no replies.
    Thanks,
    Menno

    I see what you are saying. Either use javascript with LiveConnect or go all applets.
    What we are actually doing at the moment is trying to componentise using small applets passing data via InfoBus. So I guess we could use only applets as you suggest. Either with getAppletContext, or we could have a data item on the InfoBus which contains the name of the required in-focus applet, and all applets listen to see if it is their name, and if so request focus.
    I'm suprised applets are not tab-able between by default. I would have thought this was a common requirement.
    I'll look into LiveConnect as well, and let you know how we get on.
    Cheers,

    Well, I think it is both a Java & HTML problem.
    When you TAB from HTML there must be a way to TAB to the Java applet, and when you TAB from the applet there must be a way, when you are on the last component within the applet, to TAB back to the HTML components.
    Anyone know how?

  • Signed applet and HTML parameters

    I've created a signed applet and everything works fine, except for the fact that i can't add parameters to the applet.
    Without the parameters in the HTML the applet inits and starts and can be used without problems. But when I add paramaters, the applet reports a "class not found exception".
    I used HTML-converter to convert the applet tag to object/embed tags.
    Has anyone had the same problem or knows what I'm doing wrong? I'd really appreciate some help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Erik
