Is it javascript error? Hmmm... that's odd. I wonder if that could be a browser issue? I just tried with Safari and Firefox on our Sakai-LAMS demo server and haven't seen that error.
When you select a sequence and then complete the name and description, there's a pop-up javascript message that ask you to confirm what you are about to do. Can you see that message?
> 404 - /lams/j_security_check
Ah... ok. Yeah, we have address that one here. Just apply that patch and the j_security_check issue should be gone.

For problem 1
Hmmm... I'm not quite sure, can you please provide more info?
For problems 2, 3 & 4
It's caused by a corrupted lams-valve.jar file which should be fixed with the latest version of LAMS 1.0.2
Anyway, you can download the attached lams-valve.jar and overwrite the copy on your system. This should should solve problems 2, 3 & 4.

Hi Ian,
Is it possible for you to generate another tcp dump?
With the 404 errors, it could of be a cookie issue. Try remove all the cookie first then try using LAMS Monitor and Author interface thru Sakai.
For problem 4.
It proved one thing, Sakai and LAMS is communicating with eachother, therefore the user Saka_admin is created. The Sakai-LAMS module automatically logs the sakai user into lams. So if you go into LAMS directly, you'll get logged straight in since he was previously logged in thru Sakai.
Is your prefix "Sakai" or "Sakai_" but I dont understand why the user created by LAMS is Saka_admin that's strange. This could cause a problem as well. LAMS might be looking for the user sakai_admin but the user logged in is saka_admin.
Could you please dump your ext_server_org_map again?

Problem 4.
I think that saka_admin was a typo and I meant sakai_admin.
This is not what I meant by the problem.
What I meants that there appeared to be a session already setup since I was logged in as sakai_admin without having to put a password, indicating the the previous problems had logged me into lams... even though a problem was reported.
Here is the dump of tables (dont worry about password hashes this is a test install with defaullt passwords)

Attached is the tcp dump
At Frame 77 the POST on clicking the create button happens.
The response is at 79, not redirect imbetween. Looking at the parameters, the request includes valid items for both the drop downs.... so this is probably something in the java code.
At Frame 151 I click on the edit button
152 is the redirect to lams (LoginRequest)
156 is the get of the redirect to lams (LoginRequest)
158 is the response from lams a redirect to j_security_check
with a session cookie (ending 325D; path=/lams)
161 is the browser get of j_security_check BUT
the above cookie is NOT sent, instead the sakai cookies are sent
163 lams says no way, no session, direct access (as it should as it didnt get the cookie)
Looking at the spec of SetCookie you cannot bind a cookie to the port, only the hostname and the path. Since Sakai and Lams both use the same session cookie name, you cant run sakai and lams on the same hostname otherwise the sakai cookie takes presidence.
Solutions:
1. Change the cookie name in lams from JSESSION_ID to LAMSSESSION_ID ?
2. Run on a different host on the same box (I will try this) ?
3. Buy dedicated hardware for the lams server. ?
That still leaves use with the Create problem.

Tried the change in host name,
lams now on bort.caret.local
sakai on bort
These are the same machines
This fixes the cookie issues so now LAMS is getting the correct session....
BUT
It is still complaining about direct access to the login form.
I think that you have to do a POST to make j_security_check work relayable. A redirect is not good enough.
----
Frame 18 LoginRequest
Frame 20 redirect with cookie set
Frame 21 Get the rredirect with the correct cookie
Frame 22 Rejection due to direct access.

The message on direct access appears because the session note containing the target request object was not available after j_security_check completed.
catalina/src/share/org/apache/catalina/authenticator/FormAuthenticator.java
So.
Either jboss never executed the FormAuthenticator code (saveRequest)
I would debug, but it looks like the Source code 1.0.2 posted on you site does not contain this code. lams-valve.jar looks like the jar for this.
If you want support from the communty under a GPL license, you have to post the matching source code to the community.

Just re-installed you latest version form the Oz main site.
This has exactly the same behaviour as the previous version.
To be clear, this is the lams-server-1.0.2-20051121.zip version.

Hi,
Back from a long break ( in Oz :), 1 month) which was great!.....
So I tried the latest integration binary from the site, downloaded today.....
And exactly the same as above.
From memory and looking at the tomcat cateilina code, it sets a "note" in a session attribute when re-directing to do j_security checks, so you cant just post into the j_security check url, you MUST let tomcat serve the page for you and then post a response...... or you must set the note yourself to fool catalina that it is a genuine j_security redirect
However I see you have replaced the catalinia valve, BUT there is no source code for this in the 1.0.2 source code bundle.
If it is relevant, could you post it as I might be able to put some debug in to see where the problem is. (btw, strictly speaking, shouldnt that be in the source bundle, its GPL ? Isnt it ? )
Ian

Hi Ian,
Sorry about the missing source file. We'll add that file to the source code bundle next time when the bundle is updated. But I've already attached the source code for lams-valve.jar. If you scroll up in this thread you should be able to see it.
Cheers,
Anthony

It looks like my installation of tomcat is ignoring the note that you have set as after the redirect I am getting a new session.
The JSESSIONID is differnt on the first request and redirect so the Note is never picked up, hence Tomcat correctly thinks that the request is invalid.
This is using Safari on OSX. and before you ask, it works perfectly with every other Tomcat application that uses sessions,
I will check with Firefox to see what happens, just in case its an issue with the browser.

Ok
Works with Firefox
Does not work with Safari
I suspect Safari does not store cookies on a redirect,
You might consider a http-meta to force the browser to store the cookie correctly.
There may be other browsers where this does not work.
To be clear,
The version of lams-valve.jar (check the md5sum above) in this thread works for Firefox 1.0.4 on OSX but does not work Safari 1.3 on OSX
With that caveat, I think this thread can be closed.
I will continue testing the integration in Firefox only to see if there are other problems.
BTW, Im seeing 60% cpu consumed by firefox permanently when the Flash environment comes up, with no server activity. Perhapse there is a loop running away in the flash editor ? (My Flash version is 7,0,24,0), or it might be a Flash plugin issue, but I havent seen the same with other flash sites.

Hi Ian,
Safari is quite a case.
I have tested this with Safari 2.0.x (Mac 10.4.4) and it does work fine.
Also I just tested it using Safari 1.3.2 (v 312.5) on Mac 10.3.9 and it seems to work OK. I managed to create a sequence from scratch and then add it to a Sakai course.
Could it be some configuration in Safari?
Thanks,
Ernie

On last thing on this thread,
It would be really nice if it did work with Safari, as we have a significant number of users with Safari, and I wouldnt want to go throught the same process with a help desk operator !
