....because I programed a requesthaendler in a module. It should make a LDAP check .Is opening a socket similar to the LL-Docusending requests to http-Server is working goodsending requests to https-Servers is not workingmaby it is the syntax of the "GET " ?Wolfgang

my Script :function Dynamic CheckIfLdapOkay( record r ) boolean okay = false if IsFeature(r,'username') && IsFeature(r,'password') Socket sock = Socket.Create() Integer nlines = 0 String result List myList String authentication = 'uname=' + r.username + '&pw=' + r.password String getStr = 'Get /' + $Kernel.SystemPreferences.GetPref( 'ECIINTERFACE', 'URL' ) + '?' + authentication String hostStr = $Kernel.SystemPreferences.GetPref( 'ECIINTERFACE', 'LDAPHOST' ) Integer port = str.StringToValue($Kernel.SystemPreferences.GetPref( 'ECIINTERFACE', 'PORT' )) getStr = 'Get /marketplaces45/servlet/VerifyUser?uname=eutil2at@siemens.at&pw=eutil2at' hostStr= 'vies14sx.sie.siemens.at' port = 443 scheduler.debugbreak(); Socket.Connect( sock, hostStr, port) Socket.Write( sock, getStr ) Socket.Write( sock, Web.CRLF ) Socket.Write( sock, Web.CRLF ) Socket.Flush( sock ) result = Socket.Read( sock ) while ( !IsError( result = Socket.Read( sock ) ) ) if IsDefined( STR.locate( result, 'OK' ) ) okay = true end nlines += 1 end end return okayend

Dear Wolfgang:HTTPS (i.e. SSL) uses a completely different set of standards to the normal HTTP protocol sets.Please refer to the draft as a detail explanation of the concepts. I'm afraid HTTPS will be complex to implement in the form that you're trying to. In other words you won't be able to simply send your request over a socket in clear text...If you want to use HTTP in stead, here are a couple of notes: (assuming you were doing this with normal HTTP in stead)1. "Get" should be "GET" - these are case sensitive2. You need to end the request line with a "HTTP/1.0" or "HTTP/1.1" specification, ieGET /blabla/script?prm=vl HTTP/1.0HTTP/1.0 will disconnect you after the server has sent the response, HTTP/1.1 will hang around for the next request3. If you are using HTTP/1.1 you also need to add, on the next line:Host: www.foobar.com (and then CRLF,CRLF)4. Seeing that the body of the content is of no interest and would be encrypted, why not use a "HEAD" command in stead which should return just the response headers to you, including whether an error is recorded.Hope this helps somewhat!Regards,Rolf.

Wolfgang:There may yet be hope - I had another look at the "Socket" class in the builder help files, and there seem to be attributes that I overlooked you may be able to set these, namely: kSecuritySSL2 Security constant indicating SSL2 security. kSecuritySSL3 Security constant indicating SSL2 security.Take a look there - this may solve the connection layer question?Good Luck!Rolf.

Wolfgang_Binder_(sglcadmin2_-_(deleted))

thanks for your help ...where do i have to specifie this constant !"hope is what a LL-Programer needs :-)"

Rolf_Poser_(sbsuser06_-_(deleted))

Wolfgang:I'm afraid I haven't done this before, so I'll need someone else to answer that question.Have you given it a try -- if it was a very fancy mechanism, then it might even autodetect? But maybe that would be asking too much :-)Kind Regards,Rolf.

Development did not design the Socket builtins with HTTPS in mind. I've never seen it work before and there's an enhancement request already entered for it (#1736800).

If you really need this functionality soon, I suggest contracting Global Services to create a builtin for you that does it. I can put you in touch with the right people if you're interested.

Kevin:So what (out of curiosity) would the kSecuritySSL3 setting do, or when would one want to test whether it was set?Or is it currently a stub for later development only?(The notes do state "This feature may or may not be supported" for 'pSecurity'... Maybe a hangover from crypto export restriction days??)Just wondering,Rolf.

Hi Kevin,I'm trying to do the same as described in this discussion.I have used the pSecurity propertie with SSL3 without succes..Via plain http the socke is working fine.Do you have some recommendations how to solve this problem or can you put me in touch with someone who can help me. Kind regards,Karim Bounid

Hi Karim,

Starting from LES 9.7.0 it is possible to call Java methods from OScript. From within Java it is possible to connect to a https server. So you only need to load the proper Java classes in the JVM of Livelink or create a little wrapper around them to make it easier to call them from Livelink.

The module XML WF Interchange uses a different method, but I never figured out how to utilize this myself.

Hans

Hi Hans,I was allready experimenting with the JacaObject features but with no succes...I use the following declarations as described in the builder dcumentation: JavaObject httpsCall = JavaObject.New('nl.daidalos.HttpsCall', {} ) Dynamic response = httpsCall.invokeMethod('getHttpsResponse()', {} )I placed a .Jar file after testing the code in Eclipse in the following folders: OTHOME/ojlib/HttpsCall.jarand OTHOME/module/"My module"/ojlib/HttpsCall.jarThe first call to instantiate the java Class is always throwing a Livelink Error code.Is there something else I missed in this proces?Kind regards,Karim Bounid

You may verify that the JVM version you compile your class upon is the same as the JVM version Livelink uses. Think it's 1.4.x for LL 9.7.0 and 1.5 for LL 9.7.1

Hi Hans,

I was allready experimenting with the JacaObject features but with no succes...
I use the following declarations as described in the builder dcumentation:
@ @ JavaObject@ @ httpsCall@ @ = JavaObject.New('nl.daidalos.HttpsCall', {} )
@ @ Dynamic@ @ @ @ response@ @ = httpsCall.invokeMethod('getHttpsResponse()', {} )

I placed a .Jar file after testing the code in Eclipse in the following folders: OTHOME/ojlib/HttpsCall.jar
and OTHOME/module/"My module"/ojlib/HttpsCall.jar

The first call to instantiate the java Class is always throwing a Livelink Error code.

Is there something else I missed in this proces?

Kind regards,

Hi Karim,

If you run itin the builder you need to tell th ebuilder to load the JVM. This is also in the same document.

Maybe you need additional jar files to make it work.

You can look for the discussion with the subject 'Calling Java from OScript' in August 2006.

There is a basic example that you may try to get working first.

Hans
