Session parameters populated by the system

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am migrating the app from a windows system to a AIX system and have differences between the session parameters that are seen from .../XMII/PropertyAccessServlet?mode=List&Content-Type=text/html

How are these values set?

Why is there such a big difference between windows and AIX?

From windows server

Locale en_US

From AIX server

It sure looks like the bare minimum to me. I am curious to know if you have any custom attributes added to any of your roles or your user - do these show up in Windows but not AIX? The list you shared looks like all standard ones.

While you are at it, try the session tester page I gave you and see if the runtime ones get added by the applet and are visible in the list.

Because session attributes are standard ones, custom ones, and then runtime ones, I am curious to see if we are isolated to just LDAP / UME being short or if the impact ripples to the other session areas too.

I have very minimal visibility into UME on our test linux box, but I see more session properties on our Windows box than Linux when I log in too.

Hi Jeremy,

Hmmm... When another user logs in, they see more values. So must be I am special.

I tried the sessionInfo.irpt and I am able to set session params and have them show in the frame.

Regarding: >> custom attributes added to any of your roles or your user

You mean in AD? I don't know.

I will have to have the AD guys check it all.

Thanks

The custom attributes I was referring to can be found under the System Management category in the menu. These allow you to have some infrequently (if ever) attributes added to the session at the time of login, and you don't have to set them at runtime. Something like PlantNumber or PrimaryLine or SecondaryLine. Something that might be tied to a workstation role or login and then use very effectively in a query or display element on an irpt.

If the other user sees more then I would suspect you belong to some different roles that are causing this (siimilar to my very restricted ability on our test linux box). How different is your IllumLoginRoles from your coworker?

I have all the roles Steve has, plus some for Portal Content admin.

Steve's IllumLoginRoles

'com.haworthinc.pct.role.haworthportaladmin.DelegatedContentAdmin'
'com.haworthinc.pct.role.haworthportaladmin.HaworthEveryone'



'com.haworthinc.pct.role.mdm.MDMVendorSearchRole'

'com.sap.pct.erp.ess.r_zemployee_self_service'


'Everyone'
'SAP_JAVA_NWADMIN_LOCAL_READONLY'
'XMII Administrators'
'XMII Developers'
'XMII Managers'
'XMII Operators'
'XMII Plant 3019'
'XMII Users'

My IllumnLoginRoles (Extras marked with *)

'com.haworthinc.pct.role.haworthportaladmin.DelegatedContentAdmin'
'com.haworthinc.pct.role.haworthportaladmin.HaworthEveryone'
*'com.haworthinc.pct.role.haworthportaladmin.LeadDeveloper'
*'com.haworthinc.pct.role.mdm.MDMAutoNumberGenerationRole'
*'com.haworthinc.pct.role.mdm.MDMCustomerSearchRole'
'com.haworthinc.pct.role.mdm.MDMVendorSearchRole'
*'com.haworthinc.pct.role.mss.ManagerSelfService'
'com.sap.pct.erp.ess.r_zemployee_self_service'
*'content_admin_role'

'Everyone'
'SAP_JAVA_NWADMIN_LOCAL_READONLY'
'XMII Administrators'
'XMII Developers'
'XMII Managers'
'XMII Operators'
'XMII Plant 3019'
'XMII Users'

I looked at UME User Details and I see my phone numbers and email and name, the same as Steve's.

Just doesn't show up in MII session params. I haven't checked with the AD guys yet, but if the info

is in the UME it kind of points to a config issue somewhere in NetWeaver or MII. Do you agree?

Could one of those roles I have screw up the session params.

Thanks,

Hi Amy -

I'm guessing here, but it looks like your Windows server is tied into Active Directory and many of the session parameters are being bound automatically from the AD properties for your user. This auto-binding does not appear to be happening on the AIX side.

Again, just a guess.

Hi there,

Thanks Ryan.

Both systems are connected to the same Active Directory via LDAP. So the question is why are the two NetWeavers pulling different information. I need to know how this works so I can ask intelligent questions of our Basis guys.
