2 WebCenter Portal Custom WLST Commands

This chapter describes WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) commands for Oracle WebCenter Portal. These commands enable you to configure WebCenter Portal and components from the command-line.

Note:

To use these commands, you must invoke WLST from the Oracle home (ORACLE_HOME) directory. See Running Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) Commands in Administering Oracle WebCenter Portal.

Most configuration changes made using these WLST commands are only effective after you restart the Managed Server on which WebCenter Portal is deployed. There are some exceptions, including WLST commands for External Applications, Portlet Producers, and Lifecycle.

For additional details about Oracle WebCenter Portal configuration, see Introduction to Administration for Oracle WebCenter Portal in Administering Oracle WebCenter Portal.

Note:

Oracle WebCenter Portal has deprecated the support for Jive features (announcements and discussions). If you have upgraded from a prior release to Release 12c (12.2.1.4.0), Jive features remain available in your upgraded instance but Oracle support is not provided for these features. In the next release, Jive features will not be available even in the upgraded instances

Oracle WebCenter Portal's custom WLST commands are described in the following sections:

2.4.4 archiveASByInactiveSpaces

Module: Oracle WebCenter Portal

Use with WLST: Online

Description

Archives activity stream data associated with portals that have been inactive since a specified date. An inactive portal is an open or closed portal in which there has been no activity since the specified date.

This command moves data from production tables to archive tables, except for WC_ACTOR_DETAIL—data in this table is copied to the archive table rather than moved. Rows in WC_OBJECT_DETAIL that satisfy the criteria (in this case, objects involved in activities of portals that have been inactive since the specified date) are deleted.

Module: Oracle WebCenter Portal

Use with WLST: Online

Description

Creates a connection to an Oracle WebCenter Content repository for a named application.

Syntax

createContentServerConnection(appName, name, socketType, [url, serverHost, 
serverPort, keystoreLocation, keystorePassword, privateKeyAlias, 
privateKeyPassword, webContextRoot, clientSecurityPolicy, cacheInvalidationInterval, binaryCacheMaxEntrySize, 
adminUsername, adminPassword, extAppId, timeout, isPrimary, server, 
applicationVersion])
Argument Definition
appName

Name of the application in which to perform this operation.

For WebCenter Portal, the application name is always webcenter.

name

Connection name. The name must be unique (across all connection types) within the application.

socketType

Specifies whether Oracle WebCenter Content's Content Server connects on the content server listener port or the web server filter, and whether the listener port is SSL enabled.

Valid values are socket, web, socketssl, and jaxws. This option has no default.

Choose from:

  • socket—Use an intradoc socket connection to connect to the Content Server. The client IP address must be added to the list of authorized addresses in the Content Server. In this case, the client is the machine on which Oracle WebCenter Portal is running.

  • socketssl—Use an intradoc socket connection to connect to the Content Server that is secured using the SSL protocol. The client's certificates must be imported in the server's trust store for the connection to be allowed. This is the most secure option, and the recommended option whenever identity propagation is required (for example, in WebCenter Portal).

  • web—Use an HTTP(S) connection to connect to the Content Server. Note that for WebCenter Portal, this option is not suitable for the active connection, that is, the back-end Content Server. repository that is being used to store portal-specific documents and Home portal documents, because it does not allow identity propagation.

  • jaxws—Use a Java API for XML web services connection to connect to the Content Server.

url

Optional. Content Server URL. Required only if socketType is set to web or jaxws.

URL should be in the format:

http://hostname:port/web_root/plugin_root

For example: http://mycontentserver/cms/idcplg

serverHost

Optional. Host name of the machine where the Content Server is running. Required if socketType is set to socket or socketssl.

serverPort

Optional. Port on which the Content Server listens. Required if socketType is set to socket or socketssl:

  • Socket—Port specified for the incoming provider in the server.

  • Socket SSL—Port specified for the sslincoming provider in the server.

This property corresponds to the IntradocServerPort setting in the Content Server configuration file, which defaults to port 4444.

keystoreLocation

Optional. Location of key store that contains the private key used to sign the security assertions. Required only if socketType is set to socketssl.

The key store location must be an absolute path.

keystorePassword

Optional. Password required to access the key store. Required only if socketType is set to socketssl.

privateKeyAlias

Optional. Client private key alias in the key store. The key is used to sign messages to the server. The public key corresponding to this private key must be imported in the server keystore.

Required only if socketType is set to socketssl. The value for this argument must be a string that contains neither special characters nor white space.

privateKeyPassword

Optional. Password to be used with the private key alias in the key store. Required only if socketType is set to socketssl.

webContextRoot

Optional. Web server context root for the Content Server. Use the format /<context_root>. For example, /cs.

webContextRoot is only applicable when IDENTITY_PROPAGATION is used for authentication, that is, when extAppId is set to an empty string.

Note: To fully enable these Oracle WebCenter Content features you must access WebCenter Portal through Oracle HTTPS Server (OHS) to expose Content Server and the application under the same host and port. Both the application and Content Server must also use single sign on. For information about setting up OHS to front-end WebCenter Portal, see "Content Server - Configuration" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle WebCenter Portal.

If your application is connected to multiple Content Servers, Oracle recommends that each Content Server has a unique Web Server Context Root so that OHS re-direction works correctly.

clientSecurityPolicy

Optional. Client security policy to be used when the socketType is jaxws. For example: oracle/wss11_saml_token_with_message_protection_service_policy

Leave the field blank if your environment supports Global Policy Attachments (GPA).

cacheInvalidationInterval

Optional. Time between checks for external Content Server content changes (in minutes). WebCenter Portal automatically clears items that have changed from the cache. The minimum interval is 2 minutes.

By default, cache invalidation is disabled (specified as 0) which means that no periodic checks are made for content changes.

binaryCacheMaxEntrySize

Optional. Maximum cacheable size (in bytes) for Content Server binary documents. Documents larger than this size are not cached by WebCenter Portal.

Defaults is 102400 bytes (100K).

Tune this value based on your machine's memory configuration and the types of binary documents that you expect to cache.

Most documents stored in Content Server are considered binary content, that is, images, plain text, Word documents, and so on. The only exception is Site Studio content which is stored in data files (CDF files) and cache separately in a Virtual Content Repository (VCR) cache (or node cache).

adminUsername

Required when socketType is jaxws. User name with administrative rights for this Content Server instance. This user will be used to fetch content type information based on profiles and track document changes for cache invalidation purpose.

Defaults to sysadmin.

adminPassword

Optional. Password for the Content Server administrator specified in adminUsername. Required when socketType is set to web.

extAppId

Optional. External application used to authenticate users against the Content Server. This value should match the name of an existing external application connection. See also listExtAppConnections. If extAppId is not set, no change is made to the authentication method or external application ID.

If extAppId is set to an empty string, the authentication method used is IDENTITY_PROPAGATION. With this method, the application and Content Server use the same identity store to authenticate users. Note that extAppID is mandatory when socketType is set to web.

timeout

Length of time allowed to log in to the Content Server (in ms) before issuing a connection timeout message, and the RIDC socket timeout used for all service requests for connection types web, socket and socketssl.

If the timeout property is not set, the following values are used:

  • Login timeout - the default concurrency timeout for the oracle.webcenter.content resource is used (30s or 30000ms).

  • RIDC socket timeout - the default RIDC socket timeout (60s or 60000ms) is used for all service requests for connection types socket, socketssl, or web.

If the timeout property is set and the connection type is socket, socketssl, or web, Oracle recommends that you do not specify a value less than 60000ms as this would reduce the RIDC socket timeout and increase the likelihood that long running requests will time out. For example, timeouts may occur during long running searches, long file uploads, or long copy operations.

isPrimary

Optional. Valid string values are 1 (true) and 0 (false).

1 specifies that this connection is the primary connection used for the documents tool.

This argument defaults to 0. When omitted or set to 0, the primary connection used for documents does not change.

In WebCenter Portal, the primary connection is used to store portal-specific content and Home portal content.

Note: If you mark a connection as primary, you must run the setContentServerProperties WLST command to specify certain additional properties required for the primary WebCenter Content Server connection.

server

Optional. Name of the managed server where the application is deployed. For example, WC_Portal.

Required when applications with the same name are deployed to different servers and also when you have a cluster.

applicationVersion

Optional. Version number of the deployed application. Required if more than one version of the application is deployed.

Example

The following example creates a socket-based connection to an Oracle WebCenter Content repository running on myhost.com at port 4444. For authentication purposes, an existing external application named myExtApp is used. See also, createExtAppConnection.

wls:/weblogic/serverConfig> createContentServerConnection(appName='webcenter', 
name='myContentServerConnection', socketType='socket', 
serverHost='myhost.com', serverPort=4444, extAppId='myExtApp', 
isPrimary=1)

The following example creates an SSL socket-based connection to an Oracle WebCenter Content repository.

2.6.2 setContentServerConnection

Module: Oracle WebCenter Portal

Use with WLST: Online

Description

Edits an existing Oracle WebCenter Content repository connection. This command requires that you specify values for appName and name, plus one additional argument.

Syntax

setContentServerConnection(appName, name, [socketType, url, serverHost, 
serverPort, keystoreLocation, keystorePassword, privateKeyAlias, 
privateKeyPassword, webContextRoot, clientSecurityPolicy, 
cacheInvalidationInterval, binaryCacheMaxEntrySize, adminUsername, adminPassword, 
extAppId, timeout, isPrimary, server, applicationVersion])
Argument Definition
appName

Name of the application in which to perform this operation.

For WebCenter Portal, the application name is always webcenter.

name

Name of an existing Oracle WebCenter Content repository connection.

socketType

Optional. Specifies whether the Oracle WebCenter Content's Content Server connects on the content server listener port or the web server filter, and whether the listener port is SSL enabled.

Valid values are socket, web, and socketssl. This option has no default.

Choose from:

  • socket—Use an intradoc socket connection to connect to the Content Server. The client IP address must be added to the list of authorized addresses in the Content Server. In this case, the client is the machine on which Oracle WebCenter Portal is running.

  • socketssl—Use an intradoc socket connection to connect to the Content Server that is secured using the SSL protocol. The client's certificates must be imported in the server's trust store for the connection to be allowed. This is the most secure option, and the recommended option whenever identity propagation is required (for example, in WebCenter Portal).

  • web—Use an HTTP(S) connection to connect to the Content Server. Note that for WebCenter Portal, this option is not suitable for the active connection, that is, the back-end Content Server. repository that is being used to store portal-specific documents and Home portal documents, because it does not allow identity propagation.

  • jaxws—Use a Java API for XML web services connection to connect to the Content Server.

url

Optional. Content Server URL. Required only if socketType is set to web or jaxws.

URL should be in the format:

http://hostname:port/web_root/plugin_root

For example: http://mycontentserver/cms/idcplg

serverHost

Optional. Host name of the machine where the Content Server is running. Required if socketType is set to socket or socketssl.

serverPort

Optional. Port on which the Content Server listens. Required if socketType is set to socket or socketssl:

  • Socket—Port specified for the incoming provider in the server.

  • Socket SSL—Port specified for the sslincoming provider in the server.

For example, 4444

keystoreLocation

Optional. Location of key store that contains the private key used to sign the security assertions. Required only if socketType is set to socketssl.

The key store location must be an absolute path.

keystorePassword

Optional. Password required to access the key store. Required only if socketType is set to socketssl.

privateKeyAlias

Optional. Client private key alias in the key store. Required only if socketType is set to socketssl.

The value for this argument must be a string that contains neither special characters nor white space.

privateKeyPassword

Optional. Password to be used with the private key alias in the key store. Required only if socketType is set to socketssl.

webContextRoot

Optional. Web server context root for the Content Server if Content Server is front-ended with Oracle HTTP Server (OHS). Use the format /<context_root>. For example, /cs.

Oracle recommends that you access WebCenter Portal through Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) if you want to use Content Presenter to create or edit Site Studio content. Without Oracle HTTP Server (and WebContextRoot configuration), it is still possible to create or edit Site Studio content from within Content Presenter, but the create and edit actions launch new browser windows (or tabs) rather than opening within the Content Presenter task flow.

Note: To fully enable these features you must access WebCenter Portal through Oracle HTTPS Server (OHS) to expose Content Server and the application under the same host and port. In addition, both the application and the Content Server must use single sign on.

webContextRoot is only applicable when IDENTITY_PROPAGATION is used for authentication, that is, when extAppId is set to an empty string.

clientSecurityPolicy

Optional. Client security policy to be used when the socketType is jaxws. For example: oracle/wss11_saml_token_with_message_protection_service_policy

Leave the field blank if your environment supports Global Policy Attachments (GPA).

cacheInvalidationInterval

Optional. Time between checks for external Content Server content changes (in minutes). WebCenter Portal automatically clears items that have changed from the cache. The minimum interval is 2 minutes.

By default, cache invalidation is disabled (specified as 0) which means that no periodic checks are made for content changes.

binaryCacheMaxEntrySize

Optional. Maximum cacheable size (in bytes) for Content Server binary documents. Documents larger than this size are not cached by WebCenter Portal. Defaults is 102400 bytes (100K).

Tune this value based on your machine's memory configuration and the types of binary documents that you expect to cache.

adminUsername

Optional. User name with administrative rights for this Content Server instance. This user will be used to fetch content type information based on profiles and track document changes for cache invalidation purpose.

Defaults to sysadmin.

adminPassword

Optional. Password for the Content Server administrator specified in adminUsername. Required when socketType is set to web.

extAppId

Optional. External application used to authenticate users against the Content Server. This value should match the name of an existing external application connection. See also listExtAppConnections. If extAppId is not set, no change is made to the authentication method or external application ID.

If extAppId is set to an empty string, the authentication method used is IDENTITY_PROPAGATION. With this method, the application and Content Server use the same identity store to authenticate users.

timeout

Length of time allowed to log in to the Content Server (in ms) before issuing a connection timeout message, and the RIDC socket timeout used for all service requests for connection types web, socket and socketssl.

If the timeout property is not set, the following values are used:

  • Login timeout - the default concurrency timeout for the oracle.webcenter.content resource is used (30s or 30000ms). For more information, refer to Configuring Concurrency Management in Tuning Performance.

  • RIDC socket timeout - the default RIDC socket timeout (60s or 60000ms) is used for all service requests for connection types socket, socketssl, or web.

If the timeout property is set and the connection type is socket, socketssl, or web, Oracle recommends that you do not specify a value less than 60000ms as this would reduce the RIDC socket timeout and increase the likelihood that long running requests will time out. For example, timeouts may occur during long running searches, long file uploads, or long copy operations.

isPrimary

Optional. Valid string values are 1 (true) and 0 (false).

1 specifies that this connection is the primary connection used for document services in the application.

This argument defaults to 0. When omitted or set to 0, the primary connection used for documents does not change.

In WebCenter Portal, the primary connection is used to store portal-specific content and Home portal content.

server

Optional. Name of the managed server where the application is deployed. For example, WC_Portal.

Required when applications with the same name are deployed to different servers and also when you have a cluster.

applicationVersion

Optional. Version number of the deployed application. Required if more than one version of the application is deployed.

Example

The following example edits a socket-based connection to an Oracle WebCenter Content repository.

wls:/weblogic/serverConfig>setContentServerConnection(appName='webcenter', 
name='myContentServerConnection', socketType='socket', 
serverHost='myhost.com',  serverPort=4444,

2.11.1 setNotificationsConfig

Module: Oracle WebCenter Portal

Use with WLST: Online

Description

Specifies the connection used for routing notifications raised in a named application.

Use an existing mail server or BPEL server connection. If the application is connected to a BPEL server, the Oracle User Messaging Service (UMS) is available for routing notifications through multiple messaging channels, including mail and SMS. If you configure notifications to use a BPEL server connection, you may specify a sender 'From' address for each available messaging channel. That is, you can specify a sender mail address and an SMS address.

Alternatively, you can route notification messages through a mail server. If you configure notifications to use a mail server connection, the external application associated with the mail server connection must contain shared credentials. Shared credentials are required for routing application-wide notifications.

Use the format:

<email_alias><<email_address>> or <email address>.

For example, WebCenter Notification<notifications@webcenter.com> or notifications@webcenter.com.

This argument applies to notifications routed through BPEL servers. When a BPEL server is used and UMS is configured with multiple email drivers, this address is also used to identify the appropriate email driver.

When a mail server is used, the "From Address" is the same user that is specified for the associated external application's shared credentials.

senderSMSAddress

Optional. SMS number from which all SMS notifications are sent.

Typically, the SMS address format is a 4-6 digit number (without -, spaces, or any other characters). For example, 28734.

This argument applies to notifications routed through BPEL servers. When a BPEL server is used and UMS is configured with multiple SMS drivers, this address is also used to identify the appropriate SMS driver.

For WebCenter Portal, the application name is always webcenter.

name

Connection name. The name must be unique (across all connection types) within the application.

The name you specify here will appear in Composer (under the Portlets folder).

url

Producer WSDL URL. The syntax will vary according to your WSRP implementation, for example:

http://host_name:port_number/context_root/portlets/wsrp2?WSDL

http://host_name:port_number/context_root/portlets/wsrp1?WSDL

http://host_name:port_number/context_root/portlets/?WSDL (WSRP 1.0 for backward compatibility)

Where:

  • host_name is the server where your producer is deployed

  • port_number is the HTTP listener port number

  • context_root is the web application's context root

  • portlets[/wsrp(1|2)]?WSDL is static text. The text entered here depends on how the producer is deployed.

For example:

http://myhost.com:7778/MyPortletApp/portlets/wsrp2?WSDL

proxyHost

Optional. Host name or IP address of the proxy server.

A proxy is required when the application and the remote portlet producer are separated by a firewall and an HTTP proxy is needed to communicate with the producer.

proxyPort

Optional. Port number on which the proxy server listens.

timeout

Optional. Timeout setting for communications with the producer, in seconds. For example, the maximum time the producer may take to register, deregister, or display portlets on portal pages. This argument defaults to 30.

Individual portlets may define their own timeout period, which takes precedence over the value expressed here.

registrationProperties

Optional. A list of registration properties and their values. The format of this argument must be a comma-separated list of valid registration properties, each followed by an equals symbol and the value. For example: name=Producer,key=123. The registration properties for a producer can be found using listWSRPProducerRegistrationProperties. See listWSRPProducerRegistrationProperties.

tokenType

Optional. Type of token profile to use for authentication with this WSRP producer.

When the argument enforcePolicyURI=1, valid values are:

  • USERNAME_WITHOUT_PASSWORD (oracle/wss10_username_id_propagation_with_msg_protection_client_policy)—This policy provides message protection (integrity and confidentiality) and identity propagation for outbound SOAP requests in accordance with the WS-Security 1.0 standard. Credentials (user name only) are included in outbound SOAP request messages through a WS-Security UsernameToken header. No password is included.

    Message protection is provided using WS-Security 1.0's Basic128 suite of asymmetric key technologies. Specifically, RSA key mechanisms for message confidentiality, SHA-1 hashing algorithm for message integrity, and AES-128 bit encryption.

  • USERNAME_WITH_PASSWORD (oracle/wss10_username_token_with_message_protection_client_policy)—This policy provides message protection (integrity and confidentiality) and authentication for outbound SOAP requests in accordance with the WS-Security v1.0 standard. Both plain text and digest mechanisms are supported.

    This policy uses WS-Security's Basic 128 suite of asymmetric key technologies. Specifically, RSA key mechanism for message confidentiality, SHA-1 hashing algorithm for message integrity, and AES-128 bit encryption.

    Use this token profile if the WSRP producer has a different identity store. You will need to define an external application pertaining to the producer and associate the external application with this producer.

  • SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_INTEGRITY (wss10_saml_token_with_message_integrity_client_policy)—This policy provides message-level integrity protection and SAML-based authentication for outbound SOAP requests in accordance with the WS-Security 1.0 standard. A SAML token, included in the SOAP message, is used in SAML-based authentication with sender vouches confirmation.

    This policy uses WS-Security's Basic 128 suite of asymmetric key technologies and SHA-1 hashing algorithm for message integrity.

    When this policy is selected, the recipient key alias (recptAlias) must be disabled.

  • SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_PROTECTION (oracle/wss10_saml_token_with_message_protection_client_policy)—This policy provides message-level protection (integrity and confidentiality) and SAML-based authentication for outbound SOAP requests in accordance with the WS-Security 1.0 standard. The web service consumer includes a SAML token in the SOAP header and the confirmation type is sender-vouches.

    This policy uses WS-Security's Basic 128 suite of asymmetric key technologies. Specifically, RSA key mechanisms for message confidentiality, SHA-1 hashing algorithm for message integrity, and AES-128 bit encryption. and SHA-1 hashing algorithm for message integrity.

  • WSS11_SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_PROTECTION (oracle/wss11_saml_token_with_message_protection_client_policy)—This policy provides message-level protection (integrity and confidentiality) and SAML token population for outbound SOAP requests in accordance with the WS-Security 1.1 standard. A SAML token, included in the SOAP message, is used in SAML-based authentication with sender vouches confirmation. This policy uses the symmetric key technology for signing and encryption, and WS-Security's Basic 128 suite of asymmetric key technologies for endorsing signatures.

  • WSS10_SAML_TOKEN_ONLY (oracle/wss10_saml_token_client_policy)—This policy provides SAML-based authentication for outbound SOAP request messages in accordance with the WS-Security 1.0 standard. The policy propagates user identity and is typically used in intra departmental deployments where message protection and integrity checks are not required.

    This policy does not require any keystore configuration.

If the argument enforcePolicyURI=0, you can specify any valid Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM) policy URI for the tokenType argument.

issuer

Optional. Name of the issuer of the token. The issuer name is the entity that vouches for the verification of the subject. For example: www.oracle.com.

This argument only applies when the tokenType is: SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_PROTECTION, SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_INTEGRITY, WSS10_SAML_TOKEN_ONLY, WSS11_SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_PROTECTION.

defUser

Optional. User name to assert to the remote producer when the user is not authenticated with the portal application.

When unauthenticated, the identity anonymous is associated with the application user. The value anonymous may be inappropriate for the remote producer, so you may need to specify an alternative identity here. Keep in mind though, that in this case, the application has not authenticated the user so the default user you specify should be a low privileged user in the remote producer. If the user has authenticated to the application, the user's identity is asserted rather than the default user.

This argument only applies when the tokenType is: USERNAME_WITHOUT_PASSWORD, SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_PROTECTION, SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_INTEGRITY, WSS10_SAML_TOKEN_ONLY, WSS11_SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_PROTECTION.

extApp

Optional. This argument applies when the tokenType is USERNAME_WITH_PASSWORD. If this producer uses an external application to store and supply user credentials for authentication, use this argument to name the associated external application.

keyStorePath

Optional. Full path to the key store that contains the certificate and the private key that is used for signing some parts of the SOAP message, such as the security token and SOAP message body. The selected file should be a key store created with the Java keytool.

keyStorePswd

Optional. Password to the key store that was set when the key store was created.

sigKeyAlias

Optional. Identifier for the certificate associated with the private key that is used for signing.

sigKeyPswd

Optional. Password for accessing the key identified by the alias that is specified using the sigKeyAlias argument.

encKeyAlias

Optional. Key alias to be used for encryption. A valid value is one of the key aliases that is located in the specified key store.

encKeyPswd

Optional. Password for accessing the encryption key.

recptAlias

Optional. Key store alias that is associated with the producer's certificate. This certificate is used to encrypt the message to the producer.

Do not specify a recipient key alias when the tokenType is SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_INTEGRITY.

enforcePolicyURI

Optional. Valid values are 1 (true) and 0 (false).When set to 1, users must specify one of the following token profiles for the tokenType argument: USERNAME_WITHOUT_PASSWORD, USERNAME_WITH_PASSWORD, SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_PROTECTION, SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_INTEGRITY, WSS11_SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_PROTECTION,WSS10_SAML_TOKEN_ONLY

When set to 0, users can specify any Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM) policy URI. The user must ensure that the OWSM policy specified is valid.

The default value is 1.

server

Optional. Name of the managed server where the application is deployed. For example, WC_Portal.

Required when applications with the same name are deployed to different servers and also when you have a cluster.

applicationVersion

Optional. Version number of the deployed application. Required if more than one version of the application is deployed.

http://host_name:port_number/context_root/portlets/wsrp2?WSDL

http://host_name:port_number/context_root/portlets/wsrp1?WSDL

http://host_name:port_number/context_root/portlets/?WSDL (WSRP 1.0 for backward compatibility)

Where:

  • host_name is the server where your producer is deployed

  • port_number is the HTTP listener port number

  • context_root is the Web application's context root

  • portlets[/wsrp(1|2)]?WSDL is static text. The text entered here depends on how the producer is deployed.

For example:

http://myhost:7778/MyPortletApp/portlets/wsrp2?WSDL

proxyHost

Optional. Host name or IP address of the proxy server.

A proxy is required when the application and the remote portlet producer are separated by a firewall and an HTTP proxy is needed to communicate with the producer.

proxyPort

Optional. Port number on which the proxy server listens.

timeout

Optional. Timeout setting for communications with the producer, in seconds. For example, the maximum time the producer may take to register, deregister, or display portlets on portal pages.

This argument defaults to 30.

Individual portlets may define their own timeout period, which takes precedence over the value expressed here.

extApp

Optional. This argument applies when the tokenType is USERNAME_WITH_PASSWORD. If this producer uses an external application to store and supply user credentials for authentication, use this argument to name the associated external application.

tokenType

Optional. Type of token profile to use for authentication with this WSRP producer.

When the argument enforcePolicyURI=1, valid values are:

  • USERNAME_WITHOUT_PASSWORD

    (oracle/wss10_username_id_propagation_with_msg_protection_client_policy)—This policy provides message protection (integrity and confidentiality) and identity propagation for outbound SOAP requests in accordance with the WS-Security 1.0 standard. Credentials (user name only) are included in outbound SOAP request messages through a WS-Security UsernameToken header. No password is included.

    Message protection is provided using WS-Security 1.0's Basic 128 suite of asymmetric key technologies. Specifically, RSA key mechanisms for message confidentiality, SHA-1 hashing algorithm for message integrity, and AES-128 bit encryption.

  • USERNAME_WITH_PASSWORD

    (oracle/wss10_username_token_with_message_protection_client_policy)—This policy provides message protection (integrity and confidentiality) and authentication for outbound SOAP requests in accordance with the WS-Security v1.0 standard. Both plain text and digest mechanisms are supported.

    This policy uses WS-Security's Basic 128 suite of asymmetric key technologies. Specifically, RSA key mechanism for message confidentiality, SHA-1 hashing algorithm for message integrity, and AES-128 bit encryption.

    Use this token profile if the WSRP producer has a different identity store. You will need to define an external application pertaining to the producer and associate the external application with this producer.

  • SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_INTEGRITY

    (wss10_saml_token_with_message_integrity_client_policy)—This policy provides message-level integrity and SAML-based authentication for outbound SOAP requests in accordance with the WS-Security 1.0 standard. A SAML token, included in the SOAP message, is used in SAML-based authentication with sender vouches confirmation.

    This policy uses WS-Security's Basic 128 suite of asymmetric key technologies and SHA-1 hashing algorithm for message integrity.

    When this policy is selected, the recipient key alias (recptAlias) must be disabled.

  • SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_PROTECTION

    (oracle/wss10_saml_token_with_message_protection_client_policy)—This policy provides message-level protection (integrity and confidentiality) and SAML-based authentication for outbound SOAP requests in accordance with the WS-Security 1.0 standard. The Web service consumer includes a SAML token in the SOAP header and the confirmation type is sender-vouches.

    This policy uses WS-Security's Basic 128 suite of asymmetric key technologies. Specifically, RSA key mechanisms for message confidentiality, SHA-1 hashing algorithm for message integrity, and AES-128 bit encryption. and SHA-1 hashing algorithm for message integrity.

tokenType
continued...
  • WSS11_SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_PROTECTION

    (oracle/wss11_saml_token_with_message_protection_client_policy)—This policy enables message-level protection (integrity and confidentiality) and SAML token population for outbound SOAP requests in accordance with the WS-Security 1.1 standard. A SAML token, included in the SOAP message, is used in SAML-based authentication with sender vouches confirmation. This policy uses the symmetric key technology for signing and encryption, and WS-Security's Basic 128 suite of asymmetric key technologies for endorsing signatures.

  • WSS10_SAML_TOKEN_ONLY

    (oracle/wss10_saml_token_client_policy)—This policy includes SAML-tokens in outbound SOAP request messages in accordance with the WS-Security 1.0 standard. The policy propagates user identity and is typically used in intra departmental deployments where message protection and integrity checks are not required.

    This policy does not require any keystore configuration.

If the argument enforcePolicyURI=0, you can specify any valid Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM) policy URI for the tokenType argument.

issuer

Optional. Name of the issuer of the token. The issuer name is the entity that vouches for the verification of the subject. For example: www.oracle.com.

This argument only applies when the tokenType is: SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_PROTECTION, SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_INTEGRITY, WSS10_SAML_TOKEN_ONLY, WSS11_SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_PROTECTION.

defUser

Optional. User name to assert to the remote producer when the user is not authenticated with the application.

When unauthenticated, the identity anonymous is associated with the application user. The value anonymous may be inappropriate for the remote producer, so you may need to specify an alternative identity here. Keep in mind though, that in this case, the application has not authenticated the user so the default user you specify should be a low privileged user in the remote producer. If the user has authenticated to the application, the user's identity is asserted rather than the default user.

This argument only applies when the tokenType is: USERNAME_WITHOUT_PASSWORD, SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_PROTECTION, SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_INTEGRITY, WSS10_SAML_TOKEN_ONLY, WSS11_SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_PROTECTION.

keyStorePath

Optional. Full path to the key store that contains the certificate and the private key that is used for signing some parts of the SOAP message, such as the security token and SOAP message body. The selected file should be a key store created with the Java keytool.

keyStorePswd

Optional. Password to the key store that was set when the key store was created.

sigKeyAlias

Optional. Identifier for the certificate associated with the private key that is used for signing.

sigKeyPswd

Optional. Password for accessing the key identified by the alias that is specified using the sigKeyAlias argument.

encKeyAlias

Optional. Key alias used by the producer to encrypt the return message. A valid value is one of the key aliases that is located in the specified key store. If not specified, the producer uses the signing key for encrypting the return message.

encKeyPswd

Optional. Password for accessing the encryption key.

recptAlias

Optional. Key store alias that is associated with the producer's certificate. This certificate is used to encrypt the outbound message to the producer.

Do not specify a recipient key alias when the tokenType is SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_INTEGRITY.

enforcePolicyURI

Optional. Valid values are 1 (true) and 0 (false).When set to 1, users must specify one of the following token profiles for the tokenType argument: USERNAME_WITHOUT_PASSWORD, USERNAME_WITH_PASSWORD, SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_PROTECTION, SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_INTEGRITY, WSS11_SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_PROTECTION, WSS10_SAML_TOKEN_ONLY

When set to 0, users can specify any Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM) policy URI. The user must ensure that the OWSM policy specified is valid.

The default value is 1.

server

Optional. Name of the managed server where the application is deployed. For example, WC_Portal.

Required when applications with the same name are deployed to different servers and also when you have a cluster.

applicationVersion

Optional. Version number of the deployed application. Required if more than one version of the application is deployed.

Example

This example increases the timeout, for the WSRPSamples producer, to 60 seconds:

wls:/weblogic/serverConfig>setWSRPProducer(appName='webcenter', name='WSRPSamples', timeout=60)

This example updates security properties on a secure WSRP producer:

wls:/weblogic/serverConfig>setWSRPProducer(appName='webcenter', 
name='WSRPSamples2', tokenType='WSS11_SAML_TOKEN_WITH_MSG_PROTECTION', issuer='www.oracle.com',  defUser='anonymous',
keyStorePath='/keys/mykeystore.jks', keyStorePswd='Test1', 
sigKeyAlias='mysigalias', sigKeyPswd='mysigpswd',encKeyAlias='myencalias', 
encKeyPswd='myencpswd', recptAlias='myrcptalias')

This example removes all the security properties set on a secure WSRP producer:

wls:/weblogic/serverConfig>setWSRPProducer(appName='webcenter', 
name='WSRPSamples2', tokenType='')

Syntax

registerPDKJavaProducer(appName, name, url, [serviceId, proxyHost, proxyPort, 
subscriberId, sharedKey, timeout, establishSession, externalApp, mapUser, 
server, applicationVersion])
Argument Definition
appName

Name of the application in which to perform this operation.

For WebCenter Portal, the application name is always webcenter.

name

Connection name. The name must be unique (across all connection types) within the application.

url

URL for the Oracle PDK-Java producer. Use the following syntax:

http://host_name:port_number/context_root/providers

Where:

  • host_name is the server where the producer is deployed

  • port_number is the HTTP Listener port number

  • context_root is the web application's context root.

  • providers is static text. The text entered here depends on how the producer is deployed.

For example:

http://myHost:7778/myEnterprisePortlets/providers

serviceId

Optional. Service ID of the producer.

PDK-Java enables you to deploy multiple producers under a single adapter servlet. Producers are identified by their unique service ID. A service ID is required only if the service ID is not appended to the URL end point.

For example, the following URL endpoint requires sample as the service ID:

http://domain.example.com:7778/axyz/providers

However, the following URL endpoint, does not require a service ID:

http://domain.example.com:7778/axyz/providers/sample

The service ID is used to look up a file called <service_id>.properties, which defines the characteristics of the producer, such as whether to display its test page. Use any value to create the service ID.

proxyHost

Optional. Host name or IP address of the proxy server.

A proxy is required if the application and the remote portlet producer are separated by a firewall and an HTTP proxy is needed for communication with the producer.

proxyPort

Optional. Port number on which the proxy server listens. This argument defaults to 80.

sharedKey

Optional. Shared key used for message authentication with the remote producer. Message authentication ensures that the incoming messages are sent from a host with a shared key. This argument defaults to null.

The shared key can contain between 10 and 20 alphanumeric characters.

subscriberId

Optional. Consumer's identifier, if required.

When a producer is registered with an application, a call is made to the producer. During the call, the consumer (WebCenter Portal in this instance) passes the value for subscriberId to the producer. The producer may be coded to use the subscriber ID.

timeout

Optional. Timeout setting for communications with the producer, in seconds. For example, the maximum time the producer may take to register, deregister, or display portlets on portal pages.

This argument defaults to 30.

Individual portlets may define their own timeout period, which takes precedence over the value expressed here.

establishSession

Optional. Enable a user session when executing portlets from this producer. Valid values are 1 (true) and 0 (false). The default for this argument is 0.

When sessions are enabled (1), the server maintains session-specific information, such as the user name. Message authentication uses sessions, so if a shared key is specified, this option should also be enabled. For sessionless communication between the producer and the server, specify 0.

externalApp

Optional. Name of the external application with which to associate the producer. Required if one of this producer's portlets requires authentication.

mapUser

Optional. Flag indicating whether the mapped user name from the external application should be passed to the producer.

Valid values are 1 (true) and 0 (false). This argument defaults to 1.

server

Optional. Name of the managed server where the application is deployed. For example, WC_Portal.

Required when applications with the same name are deployed to different servers and also when you have a cluster.

http://host_name:port_number/context_root/providers

Where:

  • host_name is the server where the producer is deployed

  • port_number is the HTTP Listener port number

  • context_root is the Web application's context root.

  • providers is static text. The text entered here depends on how the producer is deployed.

For example:

http://myHost:7778/myEnterprisePortlets/providers

serviceId

Optional. Service ID of the producer.

PDK-Java enables you to deploy multiple producers under a single adapter servlet. Producers are identified by their unique service ID. A service ID is required only if the service ID is not appended to the URL end point.

For example the following URL endpoint requires sample as the service ID:

http://domain.example.com:7778/axyz/providers

However, the following URL endpoint, does not require a service ID:

http://domain.example.com:7778/axyz/providers/sample

The service ID is used to look up a file called <service_id>.properties, which defines the characteristics of the producer, such as whether to display its test page. Use any value to create the service ID.

proxyHost

Optional. Host name or IP address of the proxy server.

A proxy is required if the application and the remote portlet producer are separated by a firewall and an HTTP proxy is needed for communication with the producer.

proxyPort

Optional. Port number on which the proxy server listens.

subscriberId

Optional. Consumer's identifier, if required.

When a producer is registered with an application, a call is made to the producer. During the call, the consumer (WebCenter Portal in this instance) passes the value for Subscriber ID to the producer. If the producer does not see the expected value for Subscriber ID, it might reject the registration call.

sharedKey

Optional. The shared key is used for message authentication with the remote producer. Message authentication ensures that the incoming messages are sent from a host with a shared key. You should enable sessions using the sharedKey argument, as well as the establishSession argument.

timeout

Optional. Timeout setting for communications with the producer, in seconds. For example, the maximum time the producer may take to register, deregister, or display portlets on portal pages.

Individual portlets may define their own timeout period, which takes precedence over the value expressed here.

establishSession

Optional. Enable a user session when executing portlets from this producer. Valid values are 1 (true) and 0 (false). You should enable sessions using the establishSession argument, as well as the sharedKey argument.

When sessions are enabled (1), the server maintains session-specific information, such as the user name. Message authentication uses sessions, so if a shared key is specified, this option should also be enabled. For sessionless communication between the producer and the server, set to 0.

externalApp

Optional. Name of the external application associated with this producer.

mapUser

Optional. Flag indicating whether the mapped user name from the external application should be passed to the producer. Valid values are 1 (true) and 0 (false).

server

Optional. Name of the managed server where the application is deployed. For example, WC_Portal.

Required when applications with the same name are deployed to different servers and also when you have a cluster.

applicationVersion
