Access OS environment variable to be used in automatic application login

I want users to login to an APEX application automatically using the username that is stored in an OS environment variable. I already tried owa_util.print_cgi_env, but that does not contain the values I need.

Hello,
Sounds like you're trying to do NTLM authentication? Take a look at the whitepaper -

Accessing shell environment variables inside OMBPlus script

Hi,
I have a problem accessing an environment variable inside OMBPlus script. I can 'see' the env. var values when using tclsh, but when I use OMBPlus.sh it doesn't work?
Anybody has an example of how to do this?
For example: puts $::env(MYVAR)
Thanks,
Ed

Hello!
Issue the command:
puts [array names env];
this will print you the content of the env array which is definitely not the environment variables.
If you want your environment variable appear in the env tcl variable then you must edit the ombplus.bat file and pass it through a java option like this:
-DMYENV="%MYENV%" (on windows assuming you declared MYENV).
Now puts $env(MYENV) will work.

How to access %programfiles% environment variable in XML

Hi
I am trying to install BEA JRockit 1.4.2 JVM silently and I need help in modifying the silent.xml file. Typically, in batch files, one would use the environment variable %programfiles% to install to the system's program files directory. However I want to do this within the silent install file that BEA recommends. The line that I want to modify is:
<data-value name="USER_INSTALL_DIR" value="D:\Program Files\Java\jrockit-24.5.0-j2sdk1.4.2_08" />
To something more like:
<data-value name="USER_INSTALL_DIR" value="<b>${programfiles}</b>\Java\jrockit-24.5.0-j2sdk1.4.2_08" />
However this does not work for me. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jaaved

Hi Jaared,
You will have to create an additional wrapper that generates the silent.xml
of your choice with a value of USER_INSTALL_DIR based on the value of the
%PROGRAMFILES% environment variable. The value of USER_INSTALL_DIR is
currently interpreted literally and there does not exist any support for
expansion of environment variables in it. Based on your question we might
consider this feature for a future release though.

Accessing an environment simultaneously between 32 and 64 bits applications

Hi all.
I thought that using BDB 5.3.x, you could mix 32 and 64 bits processes accessing the same environment simultaneously. That seems not to be the case.
When a 64 bits process is trying to join an environment created by a 32 bits process, I get this error:
bsddb3.db.DBError: (-30969, "BDB0091 DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatch -- BDB1539 Build signature doesn't match environment")
Same error joining the other way around.
Was I mistaken? Can not be done in BDB 5.3.x?

Perhaps this article from Wikipedia will explain:

How to access environment variables from pluggable destination?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a java puggable destination for reports. Everything is working fine.
I want to access reports environment variables from the java code (like REPORTS_PATH and other new variables that I want to create), but I can't find anything about this in the java API documentation.
I want to use environment variables instead of destination properties (those I can easily access), because I want to be able to change context using env_id.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Luis

Using environment variables in the JAR manifest

Hello,
I need to make a JAR which uses some third party libraries located in the file system, in a path referenced through a environment variable (named for example ENV_VAR). Without using the JAR the application may be started by running:
java -classpath %ENV_VAR%\lib\library1.jar;%ENV_VAR%\lib\library2.jar MyApplication
So what is the syntax to refer to environment variable inside the manifest?

I guess its not possible. If you look at the [Manifest specification|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jar/jar.html#JAR%20Manifest] there is nothing that inidcates that environment variables can be used. The classpath attribute is specified as follows:
The value of this attribute specifies the relative URLs of the extensions or libraries that this application or extension needs. URLs are separated by one or more spaces. The application or extension class loader uses the value of this attribute to construct its internal search path.
So actually, if it would be possible the ENV_VAR pathes must be set relative to your application .jar file.
Why not just use a batch that sets up your command line as in the example and runs your app?

Java and UNIX environment variables

Hi folks,
am I right when I say that it is not possible to access UNIX environment variables from Java (these ones delared by the export statement)?
Cheers,
Heiko

Yes.. Since some OS do not have the concept of environment variables,it is directly not possible.
But using the method System.getProperties you can get
some inf about the environment.
the following links may be of some help to you

Servlets: how do I get client's environment variables

Hi everybody
I make various servlets, and like to get the client's environment variables (such as used by the SET command under Windows). Especially username which is set in Windows-NT.
Are there any straight forward way to get these?
.. or can I get them and return them via a javaScript?
Arne

The servlet runs on the server. The browser and JavaScript run on the client. If you wanted to use JavaScript to pass them back, you would have to pass them back to the server through another servlet.
Or you could use an applet and get at the standard Java properties. Nobody should use environment variables anyway, as you can't guarantee a computer even has them. :-)

Is it possible to reference environment variables in the .properties files?

Here’s what I’d like to do…
In the application.properties files, I tell OPA where the docgen server is via this setting:
# Location of the Document Generation Server
plugin.docgen.server.url=http://bipDev/document-generation-server/
Note that this is the setting from my Dev environment.
Because I have separate DocGen servers for each environment, I have to maintain separate copies of this file for each environment. For example, my Prod file contains this setting:
# Location of the Document Generation Server
plugin.docgen.server.url=http://bipPrd/document-generation-server/
Notice that it’s a very slight changes. I’d like to use something like this instead:
# Location of the Document Generation Server
plugin.docgen.server.url=http://%BIP_SERVER%/document-generation-server/
Obviously, I’d create an environment variable on each server to accommodate the setting. For example, on my Prod machine, I’d create this environment variable:
BIP_SERVER = bipPrd

Unfortunately environment variables cannot be used in the OPA .properties files. The only way to do this is to maintain separate properties for your different environments.

Changing UNIX environment variables?

Is there an easy way to change the environment from inside Java-code?
I have tried using the compile version and this works fine.
Compile version:
java -DmyVar="$PATH" myClass
and then used System.setProperty("myVar", "/home/lala");
The above works fine and changes the PATH variable in UNIX, but i don�t want to set these things at compiletime, is there another way?
Thank you for any hints
// adde

I want to change the systems environment variable when I run my Java application, what happens when I close the program does not concern me. And I don�t just want to fetch what�s currently there, I want to change them and then use them in my program.
But can you somehow do this without telling the program what variables you are interested in at compile time?
Thank you for your answers

Novell Linux Client, -E/--passenv environment variable?

Hi!
I've been experimenting with the Novell Client for Linux v1.2 on
SLED10. I have most of it working as intended.
Now I'd like to integrate with some scripts to do automatic logins. I
notice that in the help message (from 'nwlogin --help'), this
information is present:
-E, --passenv
pass password via environment variable
The same (almost, it only lists --passenv, not -E) goes for gnwlogin.
This looks like a very useful feature for script integration, but
unfortunately, I can't find any documentation on which environment
variable to use. The -E/--passenv parameter is also missing from the
nwlogin(1) manual page.
What environment variable should be used? Is this feature official, so
that I can rely on it being present in later versions of the client?
Thanks,
\EF

Environment variable usage

I see that the environment variable ${domain_url} is used in bpel.xml files when user tasks are employed. I'd like to use the same technique for referencing schemas from a WSDL file (as well as other such options). I've tried to define system/environment variables BPEL_MACHINE, BPEL_PORT, and BPEL_DOMAIN and reference them for my schemaLocation in the WSDL file using the same fashion as the domain_url but it doesn't seem to recognize it.
Since these references are to a middle tier installation on Solaris I will be performing the same environmental references on the Solaris middle tier as well since the schemas are layered (the first referenced schema imports another schema). Please confirm the environmental structure required here too (this is using Oracle AS).

This is an example of the XSLT that gets generated by JDev

<mapSources>
<source type="XSD">
<schema location="test.xsd"/>
<rootElement name="testRequest" namespace="http://test/test.xsd"/>
</source>
</mapSources>
<mapTargets>
<target type="WSDL">
<schema location="http://serverrig/orabpel/default/process1/process1?wsdl"/>
<rootElement name="process" namespace="http://test"/>
</target>
</mapTargets>

Because the WSDL is held on the serverrig machine, it includes this reference in the XSLT.
