Azure Select Account shown when user already logged in session

We've migrated from adal4j to msal4j in our java web applications.
All works well but the big difference is that when the user is already logged (maybe in other applications but same browser session) we always see the "select user" page and the user is not logged automatically and redirected to redirect uri as before with adal4j.
This is how we redirect to autentication page:
private static void redirectToAuthorizationEndpoint(IdentityContextAdapter contextAdapter) throws IOException {
final IdentityContextData context = contextAdapter.getContext();
final String state = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
final String nonce = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
context.setStateAndNonce(state, nonce);
contextAdapter.setContext(context);
final ConfidentialClientApplication client = getConfidentialClientInstance();
AuthorizationRequestUrlParameters parameters = AuthorizationRequestUrlParameters
.builder(props.getProperty("aad.redirectURI"), Collections.singleton(props.getProperty("aad.scopes"))).responseMode(ResponseMode.QUERY)
.prompt(Prompt.SELECT_ACCOUNT).state(state).nonce(nonce).build();
final String authorizeUrl = client.getAuthorizationRequestUrl(parameters).toString();
contextAdapter.redirectUser(authorizeUrl);
}
I've tried to remove .prompt(Prompt.SELECT_ACCOUNT)
but I receive an error
Any ideas?

• You might be getting the option for selecting the user account after switching to MSAL4J in your browser even after the SSO is enabled because either clearing the token cache is enabled in your code or MsalInteractionRequiredException option is thrown and specified accordingly due to which the application asks for a token interactively.
Thus, please check which accounts information is stored in the cache as below: -
ConfidentialClientApplication pca = new ConfidentialClientApplication.Builder(
labResponse.getAppId()).
authority(TestConstants.ORGANIZATIONS_AUTHORITY).
build();
Set<IAccount> accounts = pca.getAccounts().join(); ’
Then, from the above information, if you want to remove the accounts whose prompts you don’t want to see during the user account selection such that the default account should get selected and signed in automatically, execute the below code by modifying the required information: -
Set<IAccount> accounts = pca.getAccounts().join();
IAccount accountToBeRemoved = accounts.stream().filter(
x -> x.username().equalsIgnoreCase(
UPN_OF_USER_TO_BE_REMOVED)).findFirst().orElse(null);
pca.removeAccount(accountToBeRemoved).join();
• And for the MsalInteractiveRequiredException class in the code, kindly refer to the below official documentation link for the AcquireTokenSilently and other reasons responsible for the behaviour. Also, refer to the sample code given below for your reference regarding the same: -
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/msal-error-handling-java#msalinteractionrequiredexception
IAuthenticationResult result;
try {
ConfidentialClientApplication application =
ConfidentialClientApplication
.builder("clientId")
.b2cAuthority("authority")
.build();
SilentParameters parameters = SilentParameters
.builder(Collections.singleton("scope"))
.build();
result = application.acquireTokenSilently(parameters).join();
}
catch (Exception ex){
if(ex instanceof MsalInteractionRequiredException){
// AcquireToken by either AuthorizationCodeParameters or DeviceCodeParameters
} else{
// Log and handle exception accordingly
}
}

Conversation ID leads to unkown path in graph-api

I have a code that fetches conversations and the messages inside them (a specific number of pages). It works most of the time, but for certain conversations it throws an exception, such as:
Exception in thread "main" com.restfb.exception.FacebookOAuthException: Received Facebook error response of type OAuthException: Unknown path components: /[id of the message]/messages (code 2500, subcode null)
at com.restfb.DefaultFacebookClient$DefaultGraphFacebookExceptionMapper.exceptionForTypeAndMessage(DefaultFacebookClient.java:1192)
at com.restfb.DefaultFacebookClient.throwFacebookResponseStatusExceptionIfNecessary(DefaultFacebookClient.java:1118)
at com.restfb.DefaultFacebookClient.makeRequestAndProcessResponse(DefaultFacebookClient.java:1059)
at com.restfb.DefaultFacebookClient.makeRequest(DefaultFacebookClient.java:970)
at com.restfb.DefaultFacebookClient.makeRequest(DefaultFacebookClient.java:932)
at com.restfb.DefaultFacebookClient.fetchConnection(DefaultFacebookClient.java:356)
at test.Test.main(Test.java:40)
After debugging I found the ID that doesn't work and tried to access it from graph-api, which results in an "unknown path components" error. I also attempted to manually find the conversation in me/conversations and click the next page link in the graph api explorer which also lead to the same error.
Is there a different way to retrieve a conversation than by ID? And if not, could someone show me an example to verify first if the conversation ID is valid, so if there are conversations I can't retrieve I could skip them instead of getting an error. Here's my current code:
Connection<Conversation> fetchedConversations = fbClient.fetchConnection("me/Conversations", Conversation.class);
int pageCnt = 2;
for (List<Conversation> conversationPage : fetchedConversations) {
for (Conversation aConversation : conversationPage) {
String id = aConversation.getId();
//The line of code which causes the exception
Connection<Message> messages = fbClient.fetchConnection(id + "/messages", Message.class, Parameter.with("fields", "message,created_time,from,id"));
int tempCnt = 0;
for (List<Message> messagePage : messages) {
for (Message msg : messagePage) {
System.out.println(msg.getFrom().getName());
System.out.println(msg.getMessage());
}
if (tempCnt == pageCnt) {
break;
}
tempCnt++;
}
}
}
Thanks in advance!
Update: Surrounded the problematic part with a try catch as a temporary solution, also counted the number of occurrences and it only effects 3 out of 53 conversations. I also printed all the IDs, and it seems that these 3 IDs are the only ones that contain a "/" symbol, I'm guessing it has something to do with the exception.
The IDs that work look something like this: t_[text] (sometimes a "." or a ":" symbol) and the ones that cause an exception are always t_[text]/[text]

conv_id/messages is not a valid graph api call.
messages is a field of conversation.
Here is what you do (single call to api):
Connection<Conversation> conversations = facebookClient.fetchConnection("me/conversations", Conversation.class);
for (Conversation conv : conversations.getData()) {
// To get list of messages for given conversation
LinkedList<Message> allConvMessagesStorage = new LinkedList<Message>();
Connection<Message> messages25 = facebookClient.fetchConnection(conv.getId()+"/messages", Message.class);
//Add messages returned
allConvMessagesStorage.addAll(messages25.getData());
//Check if there is next page to fetch
boolean progress = messages25.hasNext();
while(progress){
messages25 = facebookClient.fetchConnectionPage(messages25.getNextPageUrl(), Message.class);
//Append next page of messages
allConvMessagesStorage.addAll(messages25.getData());
progress = messages25.hasNext();
}
}

"Unsupported protocol element" when creating Interactions programmatically

I am attempting to create new Interactions programmatically on Genesys Platform SDK 8.5 for Java.
I use the example on the API reference
public void createInteraction(String ixnType, String ixnSubtype, String queue) throws Exception
{
RequestSubmit req = RequestSubmit.create();
req.setInteractionType(ixnType);
req.setInteractionSubtype(ixnSubtype);
req.setQueue(queue);
req.setMediaType("email");
Message response = mPMService.getProtocol("IxnSrv").request(req);
if(response == null || response.messageId() != EventAck.ID) {
// For this sample, no error handling is implemented
return;
}
EventAck event = (EventAck)response;
mInteractionId = event.getExtension().getString("InteractionId");
}
However, this gives me an Unsupported protocol element error.
'EventError' (126) attributes:
attr_error_desc [str] = "Unsupported protocol element"
attr_ref_id [int] = 2
attr_error_code [int] = 4
How do I create a new Interaction programmatically?

Interaction server should be connected with ClientType as either MediaServer or AgentApplication for this request(RequestSubmit).

First of all, you must open your protocol as Media Server. After that you must submit your interaction to interaction server.
Firstly your protocol config must be like this;
interactionServerConfiguration.ClientName = "TestClient";
interactionServerConfiguration.ClientType = InteractionClient.MediaServer;
// Register this connection configuration with Protocol Manager
protocolManagementService.Register(interactionServerConfiguration);
Note : You must have MediaServer type application definition on your Configuration Env., you must see it in CME.
After open you connection to ixn server. You can submit your interaction what you like. Even you can create new type interaction just like i do. I did for our coopate sms system. Its name is not important. We defined it on our bussiness attribute, so our agent can send coopate 3rd party sms system from their agent desktop. Without new extension or new license :) Just tricked it system. Also genesys allows it. i know it because we are genesys official support team in our country :) (But agent seat license may be required depends on agent head count).
RequestSubmit request = RequestSubmit.Create();
request.TenantId = 1;
request.MediaType = "email";
request.Queue = c_inboundQueue;
request.InteractionType = "Inbound";
request.InteractionSubtype = "InboundNew";
// Prepare the message to send. It is inserted in the request as UserData
KeyValueCollection userData =
new KeyValueCollection();
// Prepare the message to send
userData.Add("Subject", "subject goes here");
request.UserData = userData; protocolManagementService[c_interactionServerConfigurationIdentifier].Send(request);

Turns out I needed to set ClientType to InteractionClient.ReportingEngine.

Correct way to get Region Name by using hbase API

I am trying to fetch "Region Name" for a "table" using HBase API.
The setup is mentioned below:
Hbase pseudo-distributed installation (version 0.98.7).
Hadoop 2.5.1 installation.
The Hbase contains very few tables for testing purpose. And information about available regions are shown below from the web UI.
"region name" corresponding to the table "test_table" has been highlighted purposefully.
Now, I have been trying to get these region information from the java based API of hbase using below codes.
void scanTable(String tabName){
org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration config = HBaseConfiguration.create();
try{
HTable table = new HTable(config, tabName);
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.TableName tn = table.getName();
HRegionInfo hr = new HRegionInfo(tn);
System.out.println(hr.getRegionNameAsString());
table.close();
}catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Whenever, I pass a table name, say "test_table", the regionName is returned differently on every run.
RUN 1:
test_table,,1419247657866.77b98d085239ed8668596ea659a7ad7d.
RUN 2:
test_table,,1419247839479.d3097b0f4b407ca827e9fa3773b4d7c7.
RUN 3:
test_table,,1419247859921.e1e39678fa724d7168cd4100289c4234.
I assume that I am using wrong method to generate "region_name" or my approach is wrong.
Please help me to get the region information for given table name.

There is a getTableRegions() in HBaseAdmin which returns all the region info for the table name you want.
List getTableRegions(final TableName tableName)
Below is the method that outputs region name for a given table name.
void getRegionOfTable(String tabName){
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.TableName tn = org.apache.hadoop.hbase.TableName.valueOf(tabName);
org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration config = HBaseConfiguration.create();
HRegionInfo ob;
try{
HBaseAdmin hba = new HBaseAdmin(config);
List<HRegionInfo> lr = hba.getTableRegions(tn);
Iterator<HRegionInfo> ir = lr.iterator();
while(ir.hasNext()){
ob = ir.next();
System.out.println(ob.getRegionNameAsString());
}
hba.close();
}catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
Your code produce a different result every time, because you are building a new "region" with a different timestamp every time. Also that code assumes that your table has a single region.

Find all the attached volumes for an EC2 instance

I'm using the below code to get all the available volumes under EC2. But I can't find any Ec2 api to get already attached volumes with an instance. Please let me know how to get all attached volumes using instanceId.
EC2Api ec2Api = computeServiceContext.unwrapApi(EC2Api.class);
List<String> volumeLists = new ArrayList<String>();
if (null != volumeId) {
volumeLists.add(volumeId);
}
String[] volumeIds = volumeLists.toArray(new String[0]);
LOG.info("the volume IDs got from user is ::"+ Arrays.toString(volumeIds));
Set<Volume> ec2Volumes = ec2Api.getElasticBlockStoreApi().get()
.describeVolumesInRegion(region, volumeIds);
Set<Volume> availableVolumes = Sets.newHashSet();
for (Volume volume : ec2Volumes) {
if (volume.getSnapshotId() == null
&& volume.getStatus() == Volume.Status.AVAILABLE) {
LOG.debug("available volume with no snapshots ::" + volume.getId());
availableVolumes.add(volume);
}
}

The AWS Java SDK now provides a method to get all the block device mappings for an instance. You can use that to get a list of all the attached volumes:
// First get the EC2 instance from the id
DescribeInstancesRequest describeInstancesRequest = new DescribeInstancesRequest().withInstanceIds(instanceId);
DescribeInstancesResult describeInstancesResult = ec2.describeInstances(describeInstancesRequest);
Instance instance = describeInstancesResult.getReservations().get(0).getInstances().get(0);
// Then get the mappings
List<InstanceBlockDeviceMapping> mappingList = instance.getBlockDeviceMappings();
for(InstanceBlockDeviceMapping mapping: mappingList) {
System.out.println(mapping.getEbs().getVolumeId());
}

You can filter the output of the EC2 DescribeVolumes API call. There are various attachment.* filters available, the one you want is filtering by attached instance ID. Try the following code:
Multimap<String, String> filter = ArrayListMultimap.create();
filter.put("attachment.instance-id", instanceId);
filter.put("attachment.status", "attached");
Set<Volume> volumes = ec2Api.getElasticBlockStoreApi().get()
.describeVolumesInRegionWithFilter(region, volumeIds, filter);
The filter is a Multimap with the keys and values you want to filter on. You can actually specify the same filter multiple times, for example to get all volumes attached to a number of different instances.

You can use volumeAttachmentApi.listAttachmentsOnServer() to do this.
NovaApi novaApi = context.unwrapApi(NovaApi.class);VolumeApi volumeApi = novaApi.getVolumeExtensionForZone(region).get();
VolumeAttachmentApi volumeAttachmentApi = novaApi.getVolumeAttachmentExtensionForZone(region).get();
volumeAttachmentApi.listAttachmentsOnServer(serverId)
