WLST connecting to WebLogic Admin Server failed : Bootstrap to [IP:Port] failed. It is likely that the remote side declared peer gone on this JVM

WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) is a command-line scripting environment that you can use to create, manage, and monitor WebLogic Server domains .

I recently encountered issue while connecting to WebLogic Server from WLST command connect(‘user’,'password’,'adminserver’)) remotely.

Issue: WLST connect from local machine (where WebLogic Server is running) is working fine where as connection from remote machine (WLST on remote machine) reported error. dumpStack() reported error Bootstrap to [IP/[IP]:[Admin Port] failed. It is likely that the remote side declared peer gone on this JVM

 

Command executed and error message is

____________

wlst (or wlst.sh from Linux Machine)

_________________

 

Checks done 

1. Ensure that remote machine can access WebLogic Server (there is no firewall) : This worked for me and I was able to access WebLogic Console using IP and actual Hostname http://192.168.1.12:7001/console

 

Issue: In my case Machine running WebLogic Server had two host names

a) Actual Hostname – weblogichost.mydomain.com  and
b) Virtual Hostname – innowave21  (WebLogic Admin Server was configured to run on Virtual Name)

 

 

 

Fix: Ensure that client machine (from where WLST is being run), can resolve hostname mentioned in Listen Address of Admin Server (innowave21 in my case)

If not then add entry like below on hosts file of machine from where you are running WLST to connect to WebLogic Server

192.168.1.12   innowave21

 

Note: After adding entry in hosts file (or DNS server) for innowave21, I was able to connect using WLST.

Unprotecting URIs without using OAM Anonymous authentication

$
0
0

I am pretty sure you might have had the requirement to unprotect certain URI context in an application URL using OAM. This is in regards to OAM 10.1.4.3. The usual procedure to unprotect an URI context is to define the resource in OAM Policy Domain. Create a separate policy for that URI and specify Anonymous authentication scheme and corresponding authorization policy.

Although traditional OAM authentication is not performed, the authentication check and authorization calls to OAM happens and thus performance will impact.

The simple alternative is to avoid calls to OAM Webgate within http directives. When a webgate is installed on Apache Web Server (say), then webgate configurations will be updated in httpd.conf file which includes LocationMatch element as shown below:

<LocationMatch “/*”>
AuthType Oblix
require valid-user
</LocationMatch>

The above line tells WebGate to intercept the calls with root URL “/”. To unprotect a specific URI context say “public” with URL of the format say http://app:port/public then we can define LocationMatch element as shown below.

<LocationMatch “!public”>
AuthType Oblix
require valid-user
</LocationMatch>

Restart the http server. Then access the URL and see that anonymous calls to OAM will not happen and it greatly improves performance.

You can play around this feature :)

New OAMConsole in OAM 11gR2 PS2 : Enabling Federation, STS, Mobile & Social in Oracle Access Management Suite 11.1.2.2

I discussed about availability of IAM 11gR2 PS2 (11.1.2.2), installation changes in 11.1.2.2 here and lessons learned to upgrade to 11gR2 PS2 here .

I also discussed new feature OAM High Availability across Data Centres introduced in 11gR2 PS2 (11.1.2.2). OAMConsole (Admin Console to configure & manage OAM) has changed in OAM 11GR2 PS2 (11.1.2.2), more information here

 

In this post I am going to show how to enable below services in Access Management Suite.

a) Identity Federation
b) Security Token Service
c) Mobile and Social
d) Access Portal Service

 

Note: These services are disabled by default and you must enable them before using (More on integrating OAM with Google as Identity Provider later)

 

1. Login to OAM console /oamconsole (OAM console application is deployed on WebLogic Admin Server) using user defined in oam-config.xml 

Note: Identify UserIdentityStore where IsSystem is set to true and then identify User and Groups listed

Certification 1Z0-133 : Transactions – WebLogic Server’s role in managing transactions : WebLogic 12c Administrator Certification

$
0
0

In today’s post I am going to cover WebLogic Server’s role in managing transactions from topic Transactions  for WebLogic 12c Certification 1Z0-133 for Administrators

 

1. Transaction is a group of operations as single unit of work. For example when you transfer money from bank account then

Operation 1 – Debit money from one account
Operation 2- Credit money in to second account

Operation 1 & 2 are two operations treated as one single transaction.

2. Distributed Transaction (aka Global Transaction) is group of operations (as part of single transaction) that spans across two or more data-store (database, application server, message queue, transactional cache etc.) on same or different hosts.

3. Similar to transaction, global (or distributed) transaction must have ACID properties. (Atomic, Consistency, Isolation, Durability)

4. XA (eXtended Architecture) is standard for executing Global Transaction (aka Distributed Transaction) that accesses more than one back-end data store (database, application server, message queue, transactional cache etc.)

5. Transaction Manager (TM) is responsible for creating and managing Global Transactions and deals with each Resource Manager (RM) like database, message queue, application server etc.

6. Two-Phase Commit (2PC) protocol coordinates all the processes that participate in Global/Distributed Transaction to commit or rollback the transaction.

7. Two-Phase Commit (2PC) protocol uses two steps to commit changes in global (or distributed) transaction.

a) Phase 1 : TM asks RMs to prepare for changes.
b) Phase 2 : If all RMs report that they are ready to commit, TM asks RMs to commit that makes changes permanent. If any RM is not ready to commit then TM tells all RMs to roll-back.

8. WebLogic Server implements JTA (Java Transaction API) to manage transactions.

9. WebLogic Server can act as Transaction Manager (TM) to the various transactional Resource Managers (RM) in Distributed/Global transaction.

10. As WebLogic Server manages global transaction, it tracks transaction in binary transaction log called as TLog (Transaction Log)

In today’s post I am going to cover Configure WebLogic Server transactions (JTA) from topic Transactions  for WebLogic 12c Certification 1Z0-133 for Administrators . If you have come directly on this post then first check WebLogic Server’s role in managing transactions

 

 

1. To configure Transactions in WebLogic Server : Go to WebLogic Console -> Click Domain -> Configuration and subtab JTA

2. Various properties defined for JTA in WebLogic Domain are

a) Timeout Seconds : The time Transaction Manager (TM) waits for new transaction to go into prepared state.
b) Abandoned Timeout Seconds : The time Transaction Manager (TM) waits for a transaction to go from prepared to committed state.
c) Max Transactions : The maximum number of simultaneous in-progress transaction allowed on Server.
d) Max Unique Name Statistics :  The maximum number of unique transaction names for which statistics will be maintained.
e) Checkpoint Interval Seconds : Frequency at which Transaction Manager (TM) creates a Transaction Log (TLog) and checks to see if old logs can be deleted.

 

3. During transaction, server writes to binary transaction log called TLog. Each WebLogic Server has transaction log that records information about propagation of transaction though system.

4. If WebLogic Server fails, when Server is re-started, it reads it TLogs and recovers transaction.

5. For transaction recovery service for Servers in cluster, you must store transaction log in shared location or in database so that transaction logs (TLogs) are available to backup server.

6. Monitoring of JTA and JTA logging are defined at Server Level

 

 

In next post I am going to cover next topic in Transactions i.e. Configure the WebLogic Server default store used for transaction logs

In today’s post I am going to cover topic Configure WebLogic Server Default Store for TLogs from Transactions  for WebLogic 12c Certification 1Z0-133 for Administrators . If you have come directly on this post then first check WebLogic Server’s role in managing transactions and Configure WebLogic Server transactions (JTA)

 

1. Transaction Log in WebLogic is defined/configured at Server Level : Servers -> [ServerName] -> Configuration -> Services -> Transaction Log Store.

2. By default transaction logs (TLog) uses file-based repository under $DOMAIN_HOME/ servers/ [Server Name]/ data/ store/ default

3. To change directory location for TLog (file based repository), go to  Servers -> [ServerName] -> Configuration -> Services and provide path to field Directory

 

4. For High Availability, this TLog (Transaction Log) directory must be on shared file system (or in Database) so that after failover new WebLogic Server can pick transactions not yet completed.

5. File based Transaction Log store (Directory defined above) is shared with JMS, Diagnostic and other WebLogic Server elements.

Response contains no valid assertions: Ping Federate

Hi All

One of the partners for which they are PingFederate integrated already were getting below error while performing Single Sign-On. We are IDP and partner is SP and PingFederate is used at both ends using Artifact profile.

If you observe closely it is complaining about Time Condition. Thumb rule is that IDP and SP ends should be in time sync including Time Zone. This is  because the assertion generated at IDP end is valid only for the time interval that is defined in SP specific settings at IDP PingFederate. The setting is shown in below screenshot.

 

If the SP PingFederate server is having time difference more than these time intervals defined then it will result in SAML assertion validation failure.

1Z0-133 Configure Database Store for TLogs : WebLogic 12c Administration Certification

In today’s post I am going to Configure a database persistent store for TLogs from topic Transactions  for WebLogic 12c Certification 1Z0-133 for Administrators . If you have come directly on this post then first check first check

 

Persistence Store for TLog (Transaction Log) by default is file system under $DOMAIN_HOME/ servers/ [Server Name]/ data/ store/ default . You can change it to database and steps are mentioned below. (Note: Data Source must NOT use XA JDBC Driver i.e. Global Transaction)

1. Create a Data Source pointing to database that you wish to use as persistent store for TLogs.

 

 

Note: This Data Source must NOT use XA JDBC Driver or driver configured to support global transaction.

Note: For me Database Driver “Oracle Driver (Thin) for Service Connections” did not work and hence I had to use ”Oracle Driver (Thin) for Instance Connections

2.  You target this Data Source to Server that you wish you use for TLog (This step is not mandatory)


3. To change TLog store from file based repository to database, go to  Servers -> [ServerName] -> Configuration -> Services and for Type select JDBC and under Data Source select data source created in previous step.

 

4. By default table used for TLog is WLStore .

5. Throughput for TLog is better for File Based repository compared to database repository.

What Hashing Algorithm OID uses to store user Password : SSHA or MD5

$

0

User’s password is stored in attribute userPassword and for security reasons value in password userPassword is hashed using SSHA (Salted Secure Hashing Algorithm) Algorithm . More on SHA here and Salt here

Here are key points related to password in OID

1. User’s Password in OID are stored in attribute userPassword

2. User’s password can be stored either in
a) One-way hashed value (This is more secure)
or
b) Encrypted value

3. Default userPassword hashing algorithm has changed from MD5 (in 10g OID) to SHA (in 11g OID)

4. Hashed algoritm used by OID is stored in attribute orclCryptoScheme in Root entry (Note: By default this attribute is not visible but when you update attribute value using ldapmodify then you can view attribute orclCyyptScheme)

 

 

 

5. To check hashing algorithm used for userPassword attribute, create dump of OID users using

ldifwrite connect=”OIDDB”  basedn=”cn=atul,cn=Users,dc=onlineAppsDBA,dc=com” ldiffile=”atul.ldif”

Check {Algorithm} SSHA for attribute userPassword

________

dn: cn=atul,cn=Users,dc=onlineAppsDBA,dc=com
