10giAS SSO Integration issue with 11i -- Followup

I haven't been able to resolve this issue yet but Oracle says its a Bug in 10.1.4.01 IDM which we are using and it can be resolved after applying patch 5867734. and make sure GenericPageBean.class file has the date 5/9/2007 on it. To get that use following command :

cd %ORACLE_HOME%/j2ee/OC4J_SECURITY/applications/sso/web/WEB-INF/lib$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/jar tvf ossoui.jar

Although it didn't resolved my issue, but I felt sharing this info.

Happy Troubleshooting !!!

DISPLAY Settings

I never thought that even DISPLAY will going to give me tough time. Our client doesn't allow us to use VNC due to security reason. So we do not have any other option other than Xvfb at server End. We did start it and as expected xclock worked and no output. So I tried testing PDF output of my Active User conc program, it failed due to lack of Windoes Manager running at server. So I have to start twm at server end give xhost +. Vola it worked !!! Now another issue which I can forsee for my production as we were using Virtual host, to avoid any confusion in production cutover I used DISPLAY=`uname -n`:1.0

Happy Troubleshooting !!!

10giAS SSO Integration issue with 11i

We have successfully integrated our 11.5.10.2 instance with 10giAS SSO with AD and WNA. Everything is working fine, but we have some issues. One of them was unable to modify or delete Partner Application. Even with orcladmin user we are not able to Administer Partner Applications. We are working with Oracle to get this resolved, but found one workaround to modify them from backend. We can found them in table "WWSSO_PAPP_CONFIGURATION_INFO$" under orasso user. You can update this table as workaround. Till I get some solution to share.

Happy Troubleshooting !!!

Windows XP Shutdown and Reboot Shortcuts

Now as I have been moved to offshore, I am accessing my PC in US remotely. Now due to some reasons I want to reboot my PC, but non off the options allow me to do that, as I was accessing it remotely. Then I thought of putting a shortcut icons for reboot and shutdown. I need reboot icon. This is what I did :

Desktop Reboot Icon
Right click on the desktop
Click [New] [Shortcut] to open the Create Shortcut Wizard
Type [shutdown -r -t 00] without the brackets.
Click [Next] and type a descriptive name of your choosing for the shortcut
Click [Finish]

Desktop Shutdown Icon
Right click on the desktop
Click [New] [Shortcut] to open the Create Shortcut Wizard
Type [shutdown -s -t 00] without the brackets.
Click [Next] and type a descriptive name of your choosing for the shortcut
Click [Finish]

Hope you might need it sometime somewhere
Happy Troubleshooting !!!

April Fool

Today one of my user system made April fool to us. We have newly setup 10giAS instance with WNA Kerberose on our 11.5.10.2 Application Instance. This user was not able to get the Apps home page whenever he clicks the URL. He gets the SSO login page, which he should not get. I looked at sso log files and couldn't retrieve any information about his session. I thought of two choices, one to reboot his system if it works then no need for other. If doesn't I will ask him to login to some other system and try.
Once he rebooted his system and tried login again it works. I am not sure of cause but took it lightly too, thought system made April fool of us !!!

Happy Troubleshooting !!!
