Accessing an application without forcing the user to login

I'm a new guy, so please forgive me if I don't have this quite right. I have an inquiry OAF application bolted on to apps R12 that I need to make available to users that do not have user IDs. They're all inside the firewall, so there are no issues with security as long as they can only access this single inquiry. Do I need to mount a separate OC4J server, or can this be done somehow with the existing apps OC4j server? Maybe based on the referring page or something? Can someone point me to anything that will get me started with this? Thanks.

I found this topic in the forum which helps...

  • Is it possible to force the user to login again when using oauth 2 (implicit grant)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to build an application based on a rest webservice in APEX which is being accessed by a javascript frontend via ORDS. I'm using the "Implicit grant" flow of OAUTH 2.
    When the user is finished with the application, he/she should be able to logout of the application, so another user can login (on the same machine and browser). But, without clearing all cookies, ORDS will automatically give an access token for the previous user, without showing the login screen to allow/deby access to the rest web service.
    (Clearing the cookies is not possible via javascript, since they are httponly)
    I know it is not the "normal" way to use oauth2, but I would like to be able to log-out a user. So how can I force ORDS to show the loginscreen again to give another user the possibility to login?
    Alexander

    You can force the implicit code flow to prompt the user to sign in by including _auth_=force in the approval request query string. To follow the example shown in the developer guide [1]
    change:
    https://server:port/ords/resteasy/oauth2/auth?response_type=token&client_id=CLIENT_IDENTIFIER&state=STATE
    to:
    https://server:port/ords/resteasy/oauth2/auth?response_type=token&client_id=CLIENT_IDENTIFIER&state=STATE&_auth_=force

  • Linking to an OBIEE report without showing the user and password

    Hi!
    we are trying to access to an obiee report from an external portal (coded with php).
    The idea is that the user clicks on a link an gets the report in pdf format. For that purpose we are using this url:
    http://ttivobiee01:7001/analytics/saw.dll?Go&Path=/shared/Prueba/ogp_obi&Action=Print&P0=1&P1=eq&P2="Criteria"."Key"&P3=1402&NQuser=user&NQPassword=pass&format=pdf
    But this url is expossing OBIEE's user and password.
    In order to avoid this security issue we tried to do an wget of the url but it doesn't return the report. Instead we get an html, which seams to download the report chunk by chunk (using javaScript).
    The question is, is there any way that we could let our portal ussers access to an obbie report without expossing the user and password?
    I have been looking into oracle forums and have found this: OBIEE Go URL with password protected
    but we couldn't use this aproach due to security issues.
    Thanks!

    Hi!
    We have finally done this (and it works!)
    <?php

  • How do I add a custom trusted certificate to a user's login keychain without needing the user's interaction?

    In using ARD I can send the certificate to the user's desktop and install the Lync application but so far the only way I can get the certificate into the user's login keychain is by having them enter their password.  This of course becomes inefficient when having to adminster 75 systems.
    Which command can I send to the individual systems to store the certificate into their login keychains without having them to verify their password?
    Any and all help is greatly appreciated

    unfortunately no, MS Lync references the user's login keychain - at this point I can run a command through ARD that allows me to move the cert into the keychain and have the cert accept a password from the root account but now the problem is finding a command line to change the default trust settings to 'Always Trust'

    I need to restrict access to Settings on an iPad so settings like VoiceOver cannot be activated while letting them access multiple apps on the device. Is their any way to restrict access to settings without locking the device with a PIN?
    This is so our guests cannot tamper or disable the device. We are already using Apple Configurator but their does not seem to be a way to lock down settings without a PIN.

    There's a lot of restrictions information in Chapter 19 of the 4.2 User Guide.

  • How to force the user to enter a value in the prompt

    Is there a way to force the user to enter a value in the prompt before they run the report?
    We have a customer specific dashbaord. The user has to enter a customer number in Dashbaord prompt on a first page of the dashboard. We store that value in a presentation variable. That presenatation variable value is being referenced in all the other pages of the dashabord. If the user does not enter a values in the first page and directly navigates to the other pages on the dashbaord, the reports on the other pages start to run for all the customers. Is there a way to force the customer to enter a value in the prompt before running any of the reports on the dashboard?
    Thanks!

    by Answer prompts, do you mean Column prompt?
    I can not use Column prompt in this senario as the user should not have to enter the same customer number over and over again when he navigates from one page to another on the same dashboards. If there is a way to default the column prompts then this would be an acceptable solution.
    I have already defaulted the prompt to a value as suggested in hte blog, but the issues occurs when the user erases the defaulted value. Is there are way to set the default value within the report?
    Can you please explaing mroe about option 3 regarding Java Script. Also please let me know what other options there are so that I can check whether they will fit my needs.
    Thank you very much!

  • Forcing the user to select one of the OBIEE prompts?

    Hi All,
    Iam new to OBIEE I have a requirment in which I need to force the user to select one of the selection from prompts in OBIEE eg: you need to select one of the contry either India or America to get the other prompts enable and filter the report?
    Any help is highly appriciated.

    Hi,
    You can set a default value in your first dashboard prompt like 'please select a country' then if the user doesn't select something no result will be returned until he selects a valid value
    Then make the other dashboard prompts constrained.

  • Forcing the user to save before submit.

    Hi,
    I need to force the user to save the form before submit.
    How can I do that ? Please help.

    Hi,
    You can use the dirty flag. If your users have Acrobat/Reader 9.1 or above then you could also use the cancelAction method (however this is a bit flaky in I think version 10.0).
    For example, in the button's preSubmit event:
    if (event.target.dirty == true) {
         xfa.event.cancelAction = true;
    You would also want to include a beep and/or messageBox warning to the user.
    Hope that helps,

  • I m trying to manage space in my iPhone but what I find is I m not able to delete document data alone of an application without deleting the entire application ... Any other suggestions or methods to accompanish this? Any pointers welcome... Is this a bug

    I m trying to manage space in my iPhone but what I find is I m not able to delete document data alone of an application without deleting the entire application ... Any other suggestions or methods to accompanish this? Any pointers welcome... Is this a bug

    You mean take the cover off of the iPhone, to look inside?  I'd recommend against it.  Even with warranty expired, you might qualify for an out-of-warranty service, which for 3GS is $149.
    Other than that, any repair/service options are going to cost money.  You might want to see if a wireless carrier will let you get a new contract & phone.
    Out of curiousity, you're just using at as, basically, an iPod Touch, if there's no cell provider?  Did I understand that correctly?

  • Problems to restrict access to a page when the user belong to more than 1 group

    I have realized that Dreamweaver on a coldfusion document only works fine when the user only belongs to a single group, this is because the code supplied by dreamweave when you use the option "Restrict access to a page" at "Server behaviors" it assumes that the user only have one group as you can see on this line created automaticly by dreamweaver:
    <cfif MM_Username EQ "" OR MM_UserAuthorization EQ "" OR ListFind("admin",MM_UserAuthorization) EQ 0>
    MM_UserAutorization has the value of the field assigned for the list of groups or levels, as you can see it could work if we reverse the parameters of the listfind function but the problem would be if we grant the access to more than one group because the sentence would be like this:
    <cfif MM_Username EQ "" OR MM_UserAuthorization EQ "" OR ListFind("Admin,Manager",MM_UserAuthorization) EQ 0>
    so both paramethers are lists therefore no user will get access to the page.
    I am trying to make a work around to fix this problem but I don't know how to get the name of the page since the Application.cfc so I can validate the access to this page against tables on my database.
    Does someone have a work around or a tip how to fix this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Seems like you have a problem with your group names.ctxLdap.modifyAttributes(groupName,member);Ensure that the value of your variable groupName is a a valid distinguished name.
    Note that an OU (organizationalUnit) is not a group. You do not add users to OU's, you create users in OU's.

  • Is there a simple way to do a software update check without disturbing the user?

    Simple thing...  You log in to a machine remotely, or you use the session already logged in by the user, and run Software Update.  It goes to Apple's servers, compares software versions, and then you can see a list of which updates need to be pushed out to the machine, and so you cancel out of Software Update and use the ARD install function to push them out.
    So is there another way to find out which updates are available and needed for some particular machine, which does not involve hijacking the user's screen in order to run an application?

    The updates Cathy was asking about are the standard Mac OS X updates from Apple. You can download most of them from Apple and push them out via ARD, or just have each system check for and install separately via the UNIX command.
    Flash Player already comes in a package. You just have to "show package contents" on the Adobe installer and look in the Resources folder for the Adobe Flash Player.pkg file. That can be pushed out by ARD without problems. Many other applications similarly have a hidden .pkg file. Firefox is a single file and can be pushed out via normal file copy.
    For making your own packages for applications that don't use Apple's installer, here are some resources for starters:

  • Deploy simple Labview applications without installing the Labview runtime?

    [Labview 8.21 - Windows XP]
    Hello and a happy new year to all !
    I have coded very simple Labview applications that basically read text files (exported from Ms Excel), make some string operations, array sorting and at the end write another text file that is then imported in Ms Access. Now I would like other people from the School parents association to use this application on their own PC but ideally without having to install the Labview run-time;  for various reasons one of them being that they are not administrator of their PC, another reason being that I feel bad to ask them to install 100Mb of programs on their PC to execute my <1Mb applications. All that I can assume is that they have Excel and Access installed on their PC.
    I have read some postings on the Forum and in the Knowledge base from which I understand that the only way to use my application without the Labview runtime is to build a shared library that maybe I could then link via a VBA code from inside Excel or Access. But I cannot find any usable example on how to do that practically. And maybe it is not possible. 
    What is the easiest way to run such very simple Labview compiled applications on a PC that does not have Labview installed? Is Labview not at all built for such use?
    Thanks a lot for your help and ideas.
    Christophe

    You will need to have the runtime installed. There is a lot of other languages that also have the need for there own runtime, but they are commonly installed with the OS, so you don't realize it. Just building a dll won't solve this.
    There might be a hack possible, though. People have managed to strip down the required installation and been able to deploy the required parts of the runtime only. If you want to go this way, search on LAVA. But I'm not sure if it works with LV 8.20, and you will need to invest some time to figure out the minimum requirements. But be aware that it is a hack, so it's on your own risk.

  • How can I add an iPad to Apple Configurator without losing the user's settings, folders, etc?

    When attempting to add an iPad that has already been in use (for some time) by a particular user into Apple Configurator, I end up having to either wipe the iPad entirely as if it is a new iPad, or restore the user's settings and configuration from iCloud during mini-setup. It seems to be one choice or the other.
    Is there a way to add the "old" iPad into Apple Configurator for management purposes yet still be able to restore the user's settings from iCloud? That is - items like: folders, pictures, email settings, app data?

    This isnt true. Connecting an unsupervised device to configurator and supervising it will wipe the device, there is no way around that. You can attempt an iCloud restore from here, but anything not backed up prior to supervising the device will be erased when supervising it. I have never tried to restore data from an unsupervised iPad so I have no clue if everything will come back.
    Let me clarify... You can successfully restore an iCloud backup of an unsupervised iPad to a new (i.e. different) iPad and have it Supervised with data intact. The process below will allow Configurator to Supervise a device without wiping it when an iCloud backup from a different unsupervised iPad is restored to it.
    Try it… Get 2 new unsupervised iPads… we'll call them iPad "A" and iPad "B." Take iPad "A" and install a few apps, take a few photos, change the background, create a new document in Pages, etc. Run an iCloud backup of iPad "A" using your Apple ID. This is our unsupervised backup of iPad "A."
    Now take new unsupervised iPad "B" and start running through the setup assistant. When you get to the restore screen, choose to restore from iCloud backup. Log in with your Apple ID. Select the backup for iPad "A." The backup will restore and then the iPad will restart. Once it restarts, you get to a "Hello" screen on the iPad. At this point, plug the iPad into your Configurator computer. On the Prepare screen, turn Supervision ON and select "Don't restore backup." Click Prepare.
    Configurator will not wipe the iPad. It will run through the supervision process but not wipe it. Once complete, you'll see that iPad "B" is now exactly the same as iPad "A", but if you go to Settings -> General -> Profiles on iPad "B" you will see a Supervision profile installed.
    The key here is to use a different iPad from the originally backed up iPad. You can't restore the backup of iPad "A" to iPad "A" again and supervise it without wiping it. But you can take the backup of unsupervised iPad "A" and restore it to iPad "B" and retain apps, data, and settings of iPad "A" but with the Supervision profile.
    Hope this clarifies things!
    ~Joe
    I see where your going with that. I dont have any way to reproduce this scenario in my environment, but I will take your word for it that this works. I have only ever plugged in an unsupervised device to configurator and gone through the setup, which always wipes the device. If your saying theres a way around that you should give that a shot OP.
