Solution for HTTP 500 Error SAMLResponse Problem

2011 @ itceremony.blogspot.com

I have spent a few days debugging a problem while scripting a login with the OpenSSO using VUGen Load Runner. No matter what I did, I would get an HTTP 500 error with Java exceptions that points to a SAMLResponse problem.

Analysis of initial recorded (not correlated value) showed presence of "\r\n" characters inside of the SAML response. Meanwhile it would show as "&#xa:" in HTML script or "%0A%0D" in URL protocols.

Finally, it dawned on me that those characters were generated by the IDP and should be in the request, but only in proper encoding. Once I recorded in HTML and converted a picked correlated value to TargetSourcing="PLAIN" in web_convert_param() function, everything started to work.

Hope it helps those poor souls that like me spend hours looking for solution on the Net.

Letter to Ray

By chance I came across one of recent Ray Bradbury book of essays.
To say that he was my favorite writer in childhood means to say nothing.
I would walk in -30 C something freeze for his new book in our distant Siberian town library.
Now almost 40 years later, living on the same continent but a bit north though, I have found out that nothing has changed that I am still under the spell.

It is probably his wild imagination and old world humanity that still attracts me to his books.
Most of all I was surprised to find a novel “A Milestone at Millstone’s: Bondarchuk remembered” that Bradbury tells a story as three Russian directors including Sergey Bondarchuk meet at the Hollywood with a bunch the most powerful and talented directors: John Ford, Billy Wilder, Tony Richardson, etc…

In the midst of all introducing and mutual pleasantries the Russians hear of Bradbury name.
They were so excited and happy so that the god-like people were quickly discarded and 3 of them drunk vodka with Ray till “the rise’s state”, i.e. under the table.
About the timing since this essay is undated, the event probably happened around 1967 and he wrote it 20 years later in 1987 but published in 2006.

In his own words:
"I have never written about that evening until now.
Even as I write, it seems an inordinately fantastic time. The Russians can not have loved me all THAT much. But they DID. I must be lying through my teeth. I am NOT."

Of course we DO love you Ray! Just go to Russia if you can.

Use XForms to create an accounting tool, Part 6: Wrapping it up
by Nicholas Chase

The game [Sudoku] is over. XForms is in serious [accounting] business.

This six-part series demonstrates how to leverage the power of XForms in conjunction with MySQL and PHP to create an online accounting tool called X-Trapolate. Every good programming technology possesses a range of problems it excels at solving. This series highlights some of the problems that the XForms solves effectively, such as the need for live calculations and greater interactivity. Part 6 of this six-part series takes a final review and lessons learned approach, making sure there are no gaps in the final application and looking at future possibilities.

XForms and the Chasm What XForms Need to Become a Mainstream Technology

Moore also noted that both early late majority buyers would be more willing to use a technology if it was buried deeply in a complete solution. That way the IT managers don’t have to sell the technology to management, just the solution. Similarly, once third party developers start building accounting or complete solutions for vertical industry using XForms the buyer will not need to know or care how the solution is being delivered.

XTech2007 - XMLForms - do I need them?

Now in XTech2007 - arrived in time for the afternoon session of XMLForms by Steve Pemberton. XMLForms allow you to pass XML into/out of forms rather than relying on HTML. In includes things like validation - if you tell it something is a date, t5hen you can check in makes sense as a date. And there’s stuff about credit cards, etc. So it makes sense to adapt them for - say - chemistry so that we can check data and molecules on submission.
