Question Arun Kumar · Oct 15, 2018

Hi All,

Actually, I'm developing few restful API's. I want to create a authentication tokens and display it on my login restful API. If I'm using CSP sessionId, how can I validate the session Id's in another or continues restful API's. else, is there any other approach to handle this task. 

My Primary goal is, I have to integrate 2 different front end applications. One is Zen framework another one is web pages from Python. 

If any lead, it would be appreciated. 

Thanks,

Arun Kumar Durairaj.

Question István Nagy · May 27, 2020

   Hi,

 I've started to use Task Schedule function in Caché. But I have two questions about it:

  1. I want to run the task as an indepedent, technical user. What is the minimum resources for this user to successfully run the defined task.
  2. I disabled the built in user _SYSTEM, as the Tightening Security for an Instance article suggest. But I see that built in task run in the name of _SYSTEM user. For example Switch Journal. How can this work, if the user disabled? Should I use another user for this tasks?

Thanks!

Question Ralf von der Reith · May 12, 2020

Hello Community, 

I want to secure a SOAP Webservice (an EnsLib.SOAP.Service one, if that matters) adding a SSL/Username Policy to it. As im not sure how detailed my request here should get, ill try giving a detailed as-is description of my setup, what I've tried, how I tried to test the connection and what problems including some logs I ran into. 

As a small foreword: I'm pretty new to the whole security aspect of intersystems and soap itself. 

System:

I've tried it on 2 different systems with pretty much the same result: 

  1. IIS Server with a 2 System-Mirror Healthshare 2018.1.

This error is sometimes seen while viewing a listing in InterSystems IRIS Business Intelligence:
ERROR #5540: SQLCODE: -99 Message: User <USERNAME> is not privileged for the operation (4)  

As the error suggests, this is due to a permission error. To figure out which permissions are missing/needed, we can take a look at the SQL query that is generated. We will use a query from SAMPLES as an example.

SELECT TOP 1000 %ID, DateOfSale, Outlet->City, %EXTERNAL(Channel) AS Channel, Product->Name AS Product, UnitsSold, AmountOfSale AS Revenue, (Discount * 100) || '%' AS Discount, Comment FROM HoleFoods.

Cache / Ensemble version 2016.2.2.853.0

I have a need to restrict ODBC access to certain users to prevent unwanted access to our cache database.

We have a limited number of legacy applications that use ODBC to connect to read data and are currently not in a position to have these amended any time soon so in the interim, I am hoping someone will be able to provide me with some assistance.

Any suggestions on where to start?

Question Dmitry Maslennikov · Jan 16, 2020

When I tried to migrate one of ZEN applications to IRIS from 2018.1 I'm faced with the issue with Login Page, in this case used some ZEN page, completely customized. But when a user tries to get access, he gets the error like below.

The requested URL /csp/user/User.Login.cls was not found on this server.

I tried to test it with a fresh just created login page class

Class User.Login Extends %CSP.Page
{ 

ClassMethod OnPage() As %Status
{
  &html<<h1>Hello</1>>
  Quit $$$OK
} 

}

Set it to /csp/user application as Login page, and

$ curl http://localhost:32784/csp/user/menu.

Question Laura Blázquez García · Nov 2, 2018

Hello.

I want to grant access only to the Message Viewer page to an specific user, in all Namespaces. I have created a rol with this privileges:

%Ens_MessageContent
%Ens_MessageHeader
%Ens_MessageTrace
%Ens_Portal

But if I want to see the list of messages, I have to grant SELECT access to the Ens.MessageHeader and Ens.MessageBody tables of each Namespace.

Is there anyway to grant access to this tables in all Namespaces at a time, even if new ones are created?

Thank you in advance.

OAuth server to be deployed on the IRIS learning cloud platform. Clients - one on the other instance of the learning IRIS server, the other client locally on my computer in the container docker.

Both clients get a seemingly correct link (through ##class(%SYS.OAuth2.Authorization).GetAuthorizationCodeEndpoint()) to the login request form:

Question Daniel Kutac · Apr 30, 2019

Hello,

I have a very simple web service that I'd like to secure via SAML Authorization with X.509 Certificates. I am, however struggling with documentation and my lack of cryptographic skills. (I do this just for educational purposes now, but need to use it in the future)

Does anyone have an example that shows how to construct a SOAP Client with adding all necessary security headers manually or point me to a decent learning resource?

Thank you very much!

Question Arun Madhan · Feb 20, 2019

Hi dev community,

I am currently working on a project to send documents to a RESTful based API that supports bearer 
Token Authorization.

When we try to fire a JSON request from our EnsLib.Rest.Operation towards the 3rd party API with a 
valid Token we keep receiving Authorization Error codes HTTP 401 back.

If we use the same request and same Token from a test utility such as Postman the request is 
successful and we are able to move past the authorization stage.

We are inputting the Token in the header of the HTTP request as specified by the 3rd party API 
specification.

Question James Davidson · Mar 20, 2019

I've seen a few password change posts, but I wasn't 100% sure it was the same process, so I am asking here. We periodically have to change the passwords for a few Cache user accounts across several servers. Is there a process/script to change these passwords without having to go into the web portal on each server?  Thanks so much, and I apologize if this was covered in some of the other articles that I've run across. Just looking for the best method.

Question Michael Lundberg · Feb 19, 2019

Hi!

I have a qeustion if it possible to let Ensemble manage user rights from AD-user group?

What i want is to let external user have access to certain CPS-pages to read information. But not let them have access to Ensemble it self. And instead to set up individual accounts in Ensemble for each one of them i rather want to have dem in an AD-securitygroup.

Is that possible and also limit them only to choosen CSP-pages?

I'm not a administrator of our platform, i'm just develope productions so i would be greatful for information i could bring to our tech-guys and ask them to set it tup, if possible.

Hi,

We have Mirroring established between NODE 1 & Node 2 . We have set the "cachesys" database enabled for Journalling. But we dont see the User Accounts , Roles, Resources created on Node 1 ( favoured Primary) reflected on Node 2 . Is creating them manually again is the only option for this ? . Is there any way to sync them or would adding %SYS to MIRROR a possible solution. Would it be great if anyone has faced this as we have an issue that during failovers Team is locked out . 

Best Regards,

Arun Madhan

Hi,

we have Angular solution and Cache server. We need to have separate users and sessions on same browser (laptop, table etc) for every user and for one user with many connections.

Thought this was resolved, but unfortunately not.

Do you want to simplify your user management by using Windows domain accounts? When you add LDAP integration to your system, you can: 

  • Use the same logins on all your instances 
  • Manage the user accounts centrally 
  • Stop worrying about synchronizing accounts between systems 

In Active Directory Integration with LDAP, a live webinar (June 21, 11:00 a.m. EDT) Katherine Reid, Senior Support Specialist at InterSystems, will discuss the main options for integrating your user accounts with your domain, including delegated authentication and LDAP authentication.

In old Caché versions it was possible to create a new role based on predefined %Developer by copying it and adding some resources as needed. It was true at least from 2010.1 to 2015.1.

After upgrade from 2015.1.4 to 2017.2.1 it turned that it's only partially true now. User with a "New-Developer" role can enter Studio and open existing cls/mac/etc for editing and everything is OK unless he tries to create something new (Ctrl-N), than he gets a pop-up with %msg: <User xxx does not have enough privilege to execute stored procedure %CSP.

Question Laura Cavanaugh · Mar 16, 2017

Hello; we have users on the system with cache logins.  They have access to a specific namespace, and no access to %SYS of course.  I'd like to give each user the ability to change his own password from within our application, using Security.User.PasswordExternal.  This only exists in the %SYS namespace, and the average user can't get to it.  

Should I give the users access to this column in this table (column Password, table Security.Users)?  What about access to the namespace?  Is this possible? Has anyone done this before?

Thanks,

Laura

Question Scott Roth · Feb 16, 2018

I am working on an ZAUTHENTICATE.mac to move us from local cache users to Delegated Authentication against LDAP. 

I have created a user role within my instance of Ensemble that matches the AD Group that I will be assigning everyone in my group to.  Is there a way to query the list of available Roles within Ensemble, and if one of my AD groups matches that role, set the role for that user?

How would I compare the AD Group against the Role listing?

Thanks

Scott
