I am trying to connect to an external weblogic embeded LDAP in Oracle ADF.
I've just found a good sample code that uses JpsContextFactory class, it doesnt get any url, username and password. it seems that it connects to local weblogic ldap by defult. I could not figure out how to set a connection to an external weblogic ldap using this class.
the sample code :
private void initIdStoreFactory() {
JpsContextFactory ctxFactory;
try {
ctxFactory = JpsContextFactory.getContextFactory();
JpsContext ctx = ctxFactory.getContext();
LdapIdentityStore idStoreService = (LdapIdentityStore) ctx.getServiceInstance(IdentityStoreService.class);
ldapFactory = idStoreService.getIdmFactory();
storeEnv.put(OIDIdentityStoreFactory.RT_USER_SEARCH_BASES, USER_BASES);
storeEnv.put(OIDIdentityStoreFactory.RT_GROUP_SEARCH_BASES, GROUP_BASES);
storeEnv.put(OIDIdentityStoreFactory.RT_USER_CREATE_BASES, USER_BASES);
storeEnv.put(OIDIdentityStoreFactory.RT_GROUP_CREATE_BASES, GROUP_BASES);
storeEnv.put(OIDIdentityStoreFactory.RT_GROUP_SELECTED_CREATE_BASE, GROUP_BASES[0]);
storeEnv.put(OIDIdentityStoreFactory.RT_USER_SELECTED_CREATE_BASE, USER_BASES[0]);
} catch (JpsException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new RuntimeException("Jps Exception encountered", e);
}
}
any suggestion how to use this code to connect to external ldap will be appreciated.
JpsContextFactory is utilised to retrieve the current information of the identity store(s) inside weblogic. In order to use it with an external LDAP, you need first to add a new security provider in Weblogic and declare it as required in order for your application to utilise the new external ldap.
Check this old article of how to do it (http://www.itbuzzpress.com/weblogic-tutorials/securing-oracle-weblogic/configuring-oracle-weblogic-security-providers.html)
I'm still fairly new to Android Studio. I'm trying to use the LoginActivity to input user's email and password when they want to login/register to the MySQL database (with phpMyAdmin). My code right now can only login using static variables, see below code.
In the LoginActivity.java, I was given this code to test the login using static variables:
//A dummy authentication store containing known user names and passwords.
//TODO: remove after connecting to a real authentication system.
private static final String[] DUMMY_CREDENTIALS = new String[]{
"foo#example.com:hello", "bar#example.com:world"
};
There's also this part in the LoginActivity.java which I don't really understand:
#Override
protected Boolean doInBackground(Void... params) {
// TODO: attempt authentication against a network service.
try {
// Simulate network access.
Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
return false;
}
for (String credential : DUMMY_CREDENTIALS) {
String[] pieces = credential.split(":");
if (pieces[0].equals(mEmail)) {
// Account exists, return true if the password matches.
return pieces[1].equals(mPassword);
}
}
// TODO: register the new account here.
return false; //CHANGED
}
Full LoginActivity.java here
Which part of the LoginActivity do I need to change in order for it to login and register user from mySQL database instead of static variables? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I don't really understand why you need those static variable. But if you want to login or register a user to your MYSQL data which you need is to make a HTTP request, forget those static variable. Since you mention about phpMyadmin I assume you have some knowledge regarding PHP you can set up a localhost server with XMAPP(window) or MAMP(osx).
There is a lot of way you can sending data to your own server but the easiest is to use 3rd party library which I recommend Android Volley.
For login you need to make a query to check wether the username and password pass to the server is really exists. For register just insert new record to your database. If you didn't know what is HTTP request get started here
I am working on a Java project which has Evernote services integrated into it through an app created on Evernote. Currently, everything is working fine except for access-revocation.
When an user who has already authorized the app, at some point decides not to give this app any access, I would like to also de-authorize the app from the users evernote account.
For this, I am searching for some sample, but came empty handed. One link I found was this, where it was required to call that method with UserStore. I have the access-token, but unfortunately I am only working with NoteStoreClient, rather than UserStore.
Here is the revocation code I have so far.
Person person = this.personService.getCurrentlyAuthenticatedUser();
if (!(person == null)) {
if (person.isEvernoteConsumed()) {
try {
this.evernoteDAO.deleteEvernoteForUser(person.getId());
Evernote evernote = getUsersEvernote(person.getId());
EvernoteAuth evernoteAuth = new EvernoteAuth(EVERNOTE_SERVICE, evernote.getAccessToken());
NoteStoreClient noteStoreClient = new ClientFactory(evernoteAuth).createNoteStoreClient();
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Nothing fancy in that code, I know. If anyone has any idea of revocation from Evernote, kindly let me know. Thank you.
You're on the right track, that UserStore method will let you revoke your OAuth session. Like you said, you have to use the userstore client instead, you should be able to create it the same way as you did the notestore client:
UserStoreClient userStoreClient =
new ClientFactory(evernoteAuth).createUserStoreClient();
userStoreClient.revokeLongSession(evernoteAuth);
I am programming an UI where a user should be able to put in the URL and port to check whether a mongoDB server is running. Furthermore he should be able to provide credentials when necessary.
If the server is not running or the credentials are wrong, I want to provide a message for each case. Similar questions have been answered here:
Check MongoDB authentication with Java 3.0 driver
how to check from a driver, if mongoDB server is running
Unfortunately they use older versions of the Java driver for mongo. I'm using the 3.2+ version of the MongoDB java driver, where i.e. getDB() is deprecated.
My "solution" for the problem looks somewhat like this:
try {
String database = "test";
MongoClient client = null;
if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(username) && StringUtils.isNotBlank(password)) {
MongoCredential credentials = MongoCredential.createCredential(username, database, password.toCharArray());
client = new MongoClient(new ServerAddress(url, Integer.parseInt(port)), Arrays.asList(credentials));
}
else {
client = new MongoClient(url, Integer.parseInt(port));
}
MongoDatabase db = client.getDatabase(database);
db.listCollectionNames().first();
client.close();
return true;
}
catch (MongoCommandException | MongoSecurityException e) {
// program does not get in here when credentials are wrong,
// only when no credentials are provided, but necessary
}
catch (MongoSocketOpenException | MongoTimeoutException e) {
// only get in here after db.listCollectionNames().first() caused a timeout
}
How can I manage to:
Find out when mongoDB server is not running?
Find out that credentials are correct, when necessary?
Edit:
When credentials are wrong (username and/or password) the method catches only the MongoTimeoutException. It's the same when the the wrong URL or port or database is provided. To be clear there are other exceptions printed out, but not caught. Only difference is, when providing no password and no username, even though the database requires them, then the MongoCommandException is caught
I have searched the LinkedIn APIs, but I cannot see a way to get the contacts. I know that there are some applications that have this functionality, but I am wondering is this legal or if they use some kind of partner API?
I think that the Connections API probably does what you need.
This is a Web API, so from Java you would need to use an URL.connect() or Apache HttpClient or something like that, using an appropriately formed request URL. Then you'd need to configure an XML parser to parse the XML response body and extract the contact details.
As the page states, your client needs to be authenticated (as you) to access your contacts, and the API won't let you see details that you cannot see using your web browser.
I created a plugin for Play Framework to easily integrated with LinkedIn's OAuth: http://geeks.aretotally.in/projects/play-framework-linkedin-module.
Hopefully it can help. You should def check out Play, very very cool Java framework.
1) First click below link and add your app to developer account
The r_network scope recently changed to be a LinkedIn partner-only permission. You can apply for access to their partnership program here:
https://developer.linkedin.com/partner-programs/apply
2) After successfully creation of your app on developer account make permission of r_network
3) Insert Following code after importing all required linked-in sdk file from this https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/android-sdk
private static final String topCardUrl = "https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id,first-name,email-address,last-name,num-connections,headline,picture-url,industry,summary,specialties,positions:(id,title,summary,start-date,end-date,is-current,company:(id,name,type,size,industry,ticker)),educations:(id,school-name,field-of-study,start-date,end-date,degree,activities,notes),associations,interests,num-recommenders,date-of-birth,publications:(id,title,publisher:(name),authors:(id,name),date,url,summary),patents:(id,title,summary,number,status:(id,name),office:(name),inventors:(id,name),date,url),languages:(id,language:(name),proficiency:(level,name)),skills:(id,skill:(name)),certifications:(id,name,authority:(name),number,start-date,end-date),courses:(id,name,number),recommendations-received:(id,recommendation-type,recommendation-text,recommender),honors-awards,three-current-positions,three-past-positions,volunteer)?format=json";
public void getUserData() {
APIHelper apiHelper = APIHelper.getInstance(MainActivity.this);
apiHelper.getRequest(MainActivity.this, topCardUrl, new ApiListener() {
#Override
public void onApiSuccess(ApiResponse result) {
try {
//here you get data in json format
//you have to parse it and bind with adapter for connection list
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public void onApiError(LIApiError error) {
}
});
