MOWA 2007 - without pickup.response, logout bug, "Web Access Light" bug

Introduction

Lets start by saying that L****** and Microsoft Web Access just don't get along. The current working implementation has a few (major) problems:

  • The solution uses pickup.response which is VERY insecure
  • When using IE, MOWA Light Access Mode is activated (not good)
  • When a user clicks on "Log out" from MOWA, it also kills their L****** session (IE only)

We managed to work around all three of these issues, and it is stable enough that I am ready to share it with you nice folks.

Using RSS on the login Page.

Has anyone attempted to use RSS on the Login page? If so, can you recommend any best practices and/or "watch outs?"

I'm open to any suggestions, but as of now our best potential solution is utilizing www.simplepie.org.
It's a PHP utility that simplifies caching, customizing, and parsing RSS. Our only concern is getting PHP to run on our production box.

Thank you,

Easy method for obtaining luminis domain within the XSL of a channel

Well making some changes to the email channel (found in $CP_WEBINF/cars/email.car) to have the links take you into Horde/IMP I came across the following XSL extension that sungard has created.

cpExtension:formURL(aString)

What this does is create a URL on the Luminis server. You pass it the path to the file/script/image/etc and it will but in the appropriate http://servername/ piece at the start. The path you include needs to start from the root of the server, so no relative pathing.

Chapter2: Implementation

The first chapter covered the concepts around creating an Exchange and SharePoint channel. This chapter will cover the implementation of that channel, along with the issues encountered, and hopefully some source code.

Successful integration with MOWA 2007

We have successfully integrated in SSO (Single Sign on) with our new Exchange 2007 server. Doing this requires some modification to the examples provided by Sungard, as only Exchange 2003 is "officially" supported.

Problems updating .properties files

I am trying to update the copyright information in the footer, and I'm trying to stick with the provided variables instead of hardcoding in the text.

I have updated nested-tables.properties with the correct text, but when I restart the system, the old text is still showing up.

I ran across this same problem when I updated the Channel.properties and the changes didn't reflect in the portal. Someone else stated that they had this same problem and had to edit the html.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why the changes aren't being reflected?

Blackboard xml Extract

We are converting to Blackboard very soon. We are looking for SCT documentation on how to extract the Luminis data in xml form. We cannot locate specifics in the docs. We're still looking but any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

"Domino" showing up as a user's userid/pwd after uploading an xml file

Hello All,
I have successfully uploaded all our campus student users onto Luminis db. We are running a 3.3.3.64 version.I am having a problem with my uploading users with employee and facutly roles. After i am uploading an employee or faculty record through the cptool import file command and then search for that user in the administration pages, i get the username, and userid as "Domino". When i click on Domino, the system says:

"COULDN'T SHOW ACCOUNT INFO FOR USER: domino
Click Here to edit user domino"

When i click the link shown in "Click here" it shows:

Email channel not showing up.

Hi,
we have Luminis 3.3.3.64 version on campus on solaris server and have an email server called Mirapoint (its not exchange/outlook). We have developed a gcf connecter to get all our mirapoint email to be shown in the welcome tab for all users. Also our instance of Luminis is authenticating against the LDAP.

perl script??

Hello all,
I would appreciate any kind of input from here. I have this huge project in front of me which is to populate the Luminis portal with our users on campus. I have an ldiff file which has all the records and i have the luminis portal which expects all the users to be in xml format.
