Setting Domain Credential during WebLogic WLST offline domain creation? - weblogic

I have successfully created WLS 10.3.5 domains using offline WLST, along the lines of readTemplate(template); set("name","DomainName"); ...
One detail remains: I need to set the "Credential" of each domain to a common random value, across all domains, for "global trust". It's the setting that's behind Console / Domain / Security / General / Advanced / "Credential"
Question: I fail to find the property (or its location?) that one needs to set for this?
FWIW, I use post-processing on config.xml file level now to inject an encrypted common value string as <credential-encrypted> , but I'd rather just set this via WLST without tweaking the resulting XML.
Thanks in advance,
Matthias

I suggest you to use createDomain() command it will be much easy to work.
createDomain('/olddoamin/path/template.jar’,’domainPath’,’user’, ‘passwd’)
For more you can see the following link:
WLST by Examples: Domain migration made simple

As you told your navigation on the console, I found on WLST navigation property location it is having in the followingpath:
wls:/offline/mydomain/SecurityConfiguration/mydomain>ls()
-rw- CredentialEncrypted ????????
It is with -rw- so you can update it right?
Hope this will help you.

Right, this works. The key is to not work on the template, but to read the doman from its domain directory. Then it's just setting the attribute CredentialEncrypted:
readDomain(domain_dir)
cd('/SecurityConfiguration/' + 'domain_name)
set('CredentialEncrypted', encrypt(shared_credential,domain_dir))
updateDomain()
closeDomain()
shared_credential should be something random. I used a hex-encoded digest of the newly-created config.xml file, which contains enough randomness.

How to encrypt server.ssl.key-store-password value and use it in SpringBoot

I would like to know is there anyway we can encrypt the server.ssl.key-store-password value and store it in application.properties file instead of storing it in plain text.
i couldn't find any documentation on this. Any help on this is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Spring allows you to encrypt the properties file but the key for that encryption needs to be kept somewhere. This answer suggest keeping them in environment variables and points to a guide about how to encrypt them if you still want to.
You can use "jasypt-spring-boot-starter" for your need. All you to need to do are the following steps.
Download the "jasypt-spring-boot-starter" from maven central repo.
com.github.ulisesbocchio
jasypt-spring-boot-starter
x.x.x
In your Spring Boot start file where the "#SpringBootApplication" annotation is located, just include "#EnableEncryptableProperties". A point to note here is that once you place encryptable properties annotation on the main start file, all the property files of your application will be loaded and scanned by Jaspyt module for any property value that is marked starting with "ENC".
In your "application.properties" file there are few more configurations that needed to be added like below (all these are defaults and you can change these according to your requirement):
jasypt.encryptor.password=<Some password for encryption>
jasypt.encryptor.algorithm=PBEWITHHMACSHA256ANDAES_128
jasypt.encryptor.key-obtention-iterations=1000
jasypt.encryptor.pool-size=1
jasypt.encryptor.salt-generator-classname=org.jasypt.salt.RandomSaltGenerator
jasypt.encryptor.iv-generator-classname=org.jasypt.iv.RandomIvGenerator
jasypt.encryptor.string-output-type=base64
Once you are done with the above steps, now you can place your encrypted property value under the ENC(). Jasypt will scan values which are enclosed in ENC() and will try to decrypt the value.
For e.g.
spring.datasource.password=ENC(tHe0atcRsE+uOTxt2GmFYPXNHREch9R/12qD082gw7vv6bby5Rk)

Configuration for PowerShell module created via .NET framework

What's the best practice when you have dependencies that you want to be able to configure when creating a PowerShell module in C#?
My specific scenario is that the PowerShell module I am creating via C# code will use a WCF service. Hence, the service's URL must be something that the clients can configure.
Is there a standard approach on this? Or will this be something that must be custom implemented?
A somewhat standard way to do this is to allow a value to be provided as a parameter or default to reading special variable via PSCmdlet's GetVariableValue. This is what the built-in Send-MailMessage cmdlet does. It reads the variable PSEmailServer if no server is provided.
I might not be understanding your question. So I'll posit a few scenarios:
You PS module will always use the same WCF endpoint. In that case you could hardcode the URL in the module
You have a limited number of endpoints to choose from, and there's some algorithm or best practice to associate an endpoint with a particular user, such as the closest geographically, based on the dept or division the user is in, etc.
It's completely up to the end user's preference to choose a URL.
For case #2, I suggest you implement the algorithm/best practice and save the result someplace - as part of the module install.
For case #3, using an environment variable seems reasonable, or a registry setting, or a file in one of the user's profile directories. Probably more important than where you persist the data though, is the interface you give users to change the setting. For example if you used an environment variable, it would be less friendly to tell the user to go to Control Panel, System, Advanced, Environment, User variable, New..., than to provide a simple PS function to change the URL. In fact I'd say providing a cmdlet/function to perform configuration is the closest to a "standard" I can think of.

Adding a second webapp

I am struggling to setup a public website in Moqui, I am trying to have (dev-)www.example.net as the public marketing site and signup forms. Then the tennants on [tennant-name].example.net I have setup a basic component and then edited MoquiDevConf.xml, modified the webapp-list as shown below:
<webapp-list>
<webapp name="webpublic" http-port="8080" https-enabled="false">
<root-screen host="dev-www.example.net" location="component://webpublic/screen/webpublic.xml"/>
</webapp>
<webapp name="webroot" http-port="8080" https-enabled="false">
<root-screen host="^((?!dev-www.example.net).)*$" location="component://webroot/screen/webroot.xml"/>
</webapp>
</webapp-list>
I have restarted the app for the changes to take effect but all I get is an error 500 when I try and visit http://dev-www.example.net:8080/
org.moqui.BaseException: Could not find root screen for host [dev-www.example.net]
As far as I can tell Moqui is finding the component as I see this in the logs:
Added component [webpublic] at [file:/Volumes/MacHDD/Sources/atlas-moqui/runtime/component/webpublic]
Non dev-www hosts still work and I get the customary login screen so I am not sure what I am missing as this is almost a direct copy of the existing webroot?
Thanks for any help!
Sam
You probably using the same port number. Try different one (e.g. 8081) for the second one. All used ports should be different. Please see my comment as well.
My guess about why your particular configuration is not working is that the root-screen.#host attribute is always a regular expression and the URL you are using contains special characters including '-' and '.'. It should work if you escape these characters with a '\', i.e. use '.' and '-'.
That said, if you want to support virtual hosts with the same webapp root for multiple tenants you shouldn't need to declare the virtual hosts this way, this is only needed if you want a different webapp root screen (which may be what you eventually want to do).
UPDATE: With the configuration snippet above the issue is that there are multiple webapp-list.webapp elements, one with name=webroot which is the webapp used (as specified in the web.xml file in the moqui-name context-param) and the other with name=webpublic which is ignored because the configuration is found based on the name from the web.xml file.
The solution is to put both root-screen elements under the webapp element with name=webroot. Basically the way these are looked up is not arbitrary, it is explicit for the webapp name (the moqui-name context-param). If you have multiple webapps deployed they should have different moqui-name values to refer to different configurations. This would best be done in something other that Winstone, something like Tomcat. It would also stray from the documented ways of deploying Moqui, so a bit more work would need to be done. There isn't any really point in doing this, better to run everything in the same webapp with multiple root-screen elements and multiple root screens as needed.

Yii framework multi language, multi top level domain

My goal is to have this:
.com/english-urls - English (United States)
.com.br/portuguess-urls - Portuguess (Brazil)
.com.mx/spanish-urls - Spanish (México)
...
I already have working multilingual functionality using this Language Switcher: http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/293/manage-target-language-in-multilingual-applications-a-language-selector-widget-i18n/
And URL localization using this: http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/55/i18n-subdomains-and-url-rules/
Any idea on how to have the multi top level domain functionality?
Thanks in advance to contribute to Yii development.
There are a few different ways you can approach this.
Parameterized host names. See the guide for details on how to set it up: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/topics.url#parameterizing-hostnames
Use environment variables set as part of your web server depending on the domain name being used.
I've done #1 in the past and it works pretty well. One nasty side effect comes up if you have a site that runs with SSL but your devs work with non-SSL machines. Parameterized host names require the full http:// or https:// as part of the URL rule unless you extend CUrlManager.
Another bug I hit recently occurs if you use parameterized hostnames AND a baseUrl (https://github.com/yiisoft/yii/issues/3520). Probably not something to worry about, but an FYI that it is there.
Which is why the idea of using environment variables intrigues me. You might be able to load only rule sets that match your given language, etc. but I haven't personally built a system using that approach.
Finally I got a solution!
Using this class: http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/55/i18n-subdomains-and-url-rules/
1.- Define your top level domains list.
public $domainList = array('www.example.com.mx' => 'es', 'www.example.com' => 'en');
2.- Comment the unnesesary code.
3.- Detect SERVER_NAME and save as activeLanguage.
$languageCode = $this->domainList[$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']];
$this->activeLanguage = $this->isSupportedLanguage($languageCode);
3.- Create the links in your header or main.

How to store Application Messages for a .NET Website

I am looking for a method of storing Application Messages, such as
"You have logged in successfully"
"An error has occurred, please call the helpdesk on x100"
"You do not have the authority to reset all system passwords" etc
So that "when" the users decide they don't like the wording of messages I don't have to change the source code, recompile then redeploy - instead I just change the message store.
I really like the way that I can easily access strings in the web.config using keys and values.
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("LOGINSUCCESS");
However as I could have a large number of application messages I didn't want to use the web.config directly. I was going to add a 2nd web config file and use that but of course you can only have one per virtual directory.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this without writing much custom code?
In your Web.config, under appSettings, change it to:
<appSettings file="StringKeys.config">
Then, create your StringKeys.config file and have all your keys in it.
You can still use the AppSettings area in the main web.config for any real application related keys.
Put the strings in an xml file and use a filewatcher to check for updates to the file
Put the strings in a database, cache them and set a reasonable expiration policy
You can use ResourceManager class. See "ResourceManager and ASP.NET" article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa309419(VS.71).aspx
