APEX 3.2:  Switching between APEX authentication and LDAP?

I'm building an APEX 3.2 application that has to be deployed automatically to the target environments (by executing the APEX export SQL in the relevant parsing schema).
One problem is that different environments will have to use different authentication mechanisms:
Development and System Test will use simple APEX authentication (i.e. APEX users).
Acceptance Test and Production will use LDAP via OID for single sign-on.
So how do I set the application up so that it can switch from APEX authentication to LDAP authentication if it is in the Acceptance Test or Production environments?
My customers seem very reluctant to have a manual step in the process e.g. to switch the authentication scheme for the application after installation, so I need to find a way to do this automatically if possible.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Chris

Chris,
We do something similar, in that we dynamically switch authentication based on the application you're trying to log in to. Basically, you need to set up a custom authentication procedure which checks which system you're in, and then validates the user appropriately.
Does that help?

  • I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

    I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

    While not in edit mode:
    - if start typing numbers, then it enters number mode.
    - if start typing text, then it enters text mode.
    Using the arrow keys exits edit mode. So this should work for you:
    1 Type text into a cell, which enters text mode.
    2 Press Return to move to the next cell.
    3 Press right arrow key to exit edit mode.
    4 Press left arrow key to get back to the cell.
    5 Type a number, which enters number mode.
    Another method that requires more planning ahead of time is to format the cells as text or number before starting the data entry. Then when you navigate to a cell while in edit mode, you will be in the appropriate mode (without having to exit edit mode).
    This all works fine for me. Hopefullly it does for you also.

  • Switching between page layout and word processing

    I can't seem to switch between page layout and word processing view.  I've read all the posts on this and still can't figure out why I can't just type a document into Pages.  The only option I have in page layout view is to type into text boxes, which is not what I want.  I just want to type a letter for crying out loud.
    Before I get all the rants about reading User Guides, etc.  *I have*.  I've also searched on here and in-app help and just don't understand the fuzzy/non-existant answers.  Obviously, I'm a newbie, so please don't jump all over me for this.  If it was Word - I could do this in NO time.  I just find it incredibly frustrating that inputting a normal document should be so difficult.
    Is "Pages" *not* a word processing program?  Is it just a cut and paste application?  Sorry for the tone - I mean no disrespect - it's just that I've been fooling around with this for DAYS and I just don't have time to spare anymore.  I really need to get this done.
    Can somebody give me a straightforward answer on how to just type a normal document into pages without using text boxes?
    Thanks and I apologize for not being mac-savvy.  It took some of us a lot longer to see the light =)

    Here is a script doing the conversion task for you.
    Open a Page Layout document
    run this script:
    --{code}
    set p2t to (path to temporary items from user domain) as text
    set path_2_doc to p2t & (do shell script "date +_%Y%m%d_%H%M%S.doc")
    tell application "Pages"
      save document 1 in path_2_doc
      open file path_2_doc
    end tell
    --{code}
    that's all folks.

  • Duet makes noise after switching between finder audio and Logic

    Hi
    My Duet makes noise after switching between "finder audio" and "Logic", In other words i would play a mp3 in the finder and when returning to Logic all my audio sounds like the "lo-fi" RTAS free plug digidesign gives away now.
    This is happening on a White *iMac 24"*
    Model Name: iMac
    Model Identifier: iMac6,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.33 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 4 MB
    Memory: 2 GB
    Bus Speed: 667 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: IM61.0093.B07
    SMC Version (system): 1.10f3
    MacOsx 10,5,7

    Does this happen every single time? The same thing happens to me every once in a while. I just close Logic and Maestro and unplug the Duet. Then, in this order, plug in the Duet, wait for it to click, load Maestro, load Logic. Works every time.
    Edit: It does only seem to happen when I switch from Logic and the audio output from the Duet to internal and then come back quickly. I don't think it's an issue with the Duet hardware itself.

  • Delaying when switching between apple mail and safari

    just on mavericks.
    it more or less looks and feel ok but...
    when I switch between apple mail and safari, everything "freezes" for some seconds (up to 30).
    anyone similar experiences?
    what could be the cause of that?
    its really disturbing.

    I am a little puzzled by the libraries and switching between the libraries. My personal computer has the majority of the movies and content that would be transfered to the appletv. I chose to only select a minimal amount of content (of movies and tv shows, music via playlists) so there would be space left that would hold photos. Also, i just want to send over only what I want to view (manual synch) If I switch to my Kids library, it streams all the content well (movies & tv shows)(which is fine and streams well) If I switch back to my library, it shows every movie, every tv show, hundreds of music playlist that I did not choose to see. (stream mode) The only fix is to reboot the computer, and all is well. anyone experience this issue?

  • MacBook Pro won't automatically switch between internal speakers and display audio

    I have a MacBook Pro that connects to a LED Cinema display.  It used to automatically switch between internal speakers and display audio when plugged in to the display but won't anymore.  I have to manually change it in System Preferences --> Sound. Does anyone know how to make it do that again?
    thanks,
    Ben

    I just want to add, I have the same problem, and just want to help raise awareness of it.
    1st, the problem only started recently (have been using the Thunderbolt display since it was released), I did not have this problem, and noticed it beginning only in the last month. (since January)
    2nd, My particular setup, includes a hard drive attached to the firewire port on the back of the Thunderbolt Display (so, I am wondering if anyone else experienced this problem with a firewire drive being connected).
         My full setup:
              Macbook Air (2011)
             Thunderbolt display
              Western Digital drive (attached to firewire of display)
    3rd, If I go into settings, what I will see is the "Display Audio" is selected (but no sound coming out),
    If I then select "Internal Speakers," a buffered "history" of all the sounds I did not hear is then played (pretty funny actually) - for  example, if I sent mail, adjusted the volume, and started playing a song.... it immediately plays all those sounds when selecting "Internal Speakers"
    4th, If i then select "Display Audio" - it does nothing
    5th, what I have to do, to resolve this is:  eject all my hard drives,  disconnect the thunderbolt cable, then reconnect the thunderbolt cable, and everything works as normal.

  • Iphone switching between pod cast and Ipod shuffle

    Hello, I have an IPhone 3 G and while I am running at my gym it keeps switching between my IPod and my podcast player. I have checked my internet connections and it is fine. I know I am not hitting the shuffle buttoon because I turn the sceen saver off, after I have selected the Pod Cast music that I like. Is it the head phones or the IPhone?

    One thing that might help out.
    The button on the headphones does not have the ability to shuffle media files.
    One click to pause or play. two clicks to advance to the next track.
    Here is a link to the iphone user guide that might help out.
    Check out page 63 for shuffle and repeat features.

    Hope this helps.

  • CS6/CC - switching between source monitor and timeline disaster

    Now what is this?
    It all works fine until you try DV Output.
    In DV Output mode every time you switch between source monitor and the timeline it goes to some scary ritual:
    1. output disabled on external monitor
    2. some crazy flickering happens
    3. ok, now updated picture on external monitor finally appears
    Same happens when switching back to timeline.
    Also when scrubbing through timeline video and audio is late for a few centuries on DV device/external monitor/speaker.
    Why Adobe screwed firewire environment editing? I'm thinking about changing my job. Editing with Premiere is killing me lately. I'm thinking about starting to work with bees or strawberries, or something else less frustrating.
    And Premiere CS 5.5 was the best editing software ever released. It has no similar problems. Why CS6 and CC are retarded?

    I'm just asking for properly working feature which is alredy implemented and worked fine in earlier versions.
    Adobe, can this be fixed, please?

  • Timeline window missing button to switch between frame mode and timeline mode

    I'm using Photoshop CS6 Extended.
    This is what my timeline looks like now.
    In tutorials they refer to a button that should be to the left of the drop menu that says "forever". The button is supposed to allow you to switch between frame mode and timeline mode.
    this is what the timeline window looks like in timeline mode and with the button that allows you to switch.
    I've already tried reinstalling and upgrading to CS6 extended, as some forums suggested.
    Please help. Animation is the core reason that I need photoshop and without this button I'm extremely limited. Thanks.

    OK. This should work. Copy and past the below script into Script Editor, save it as an AppleScript application to the Desktop. Double-click it and it should change to grayscale. Double-click it again and it'll toggle back.

  • My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker

    My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker so I can listen to my music and games.  Is it hardware or software problem?

    I was told by a friend that sometimes when you use a 3rd party charger that the connectors are not the same size and so it can affect the sensors in the phone and make it seem like it is in a docking station and so changes the output for dock speakers.  With that said, I didn't take my pohone in to be serviced at the appple store because it was a 3GS and over 2 years old and so not covered by any service plan.  Since then my phone is back to normal and I can use my headphones and listen with the speakers on the phone.  I stoped using the suspected cheap 3rd party charger and maybe that's what did it, but not sure if it was or wasn't the cause of my problem.  I'm glad that my phone is better I was kinda holding out for the Iphone 5 when i comes out later and hope my phone lasted until then.

  • Should Iplace my ethernet switch between cable modem and airport extreme?

    I'm looking for the best placement of an ethernet switch in my home network.
    Should I place it "between" my cable modem and my AEBS or connect it to the output from my AEBS?
    The current placement is connected to one of the AEBS outputs.
    I'm attempting to set up an old AE (802.11 a/g from 2004) with a different network name than my home network, that I'm trying to set up for a college dorm network and each time I plug the AE to the switch to confirm its functionality, my network gets a little confused.
    Help appreciated.
    Regards,
    jim P.

    Should I place it "between" my cable modem and my AEBS or connect it to the output from my AEBS?
    This all depends on whether you have a simple modem.....or.....a modem/router or gateway combination device.
    If  you have a simple modem, you cannot place the switch between the modem and the AEBS. The reason for this is that the modem can only deliver one valid IP address and it will be a matter of chance as to which of the devices connected to the switch receives it. The other device connected to the switch will not be able to access the Internet.
    If you have a modem/router or gateway type of device, you can place the switch after the modem/router and before the AEBS if you wish, although there is really no advantage to doing so unless this makes things easier for you in terms of hook up.
    If none of this makes much sense at all to you, leave the switch in its current location connected to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AEBS since that setup will work correctly no matter what type of "modem" that you might have.

  • Could I configure local switching between sub-interface and global interface on ASR9k?

    Could I configure local switching between sub-interface and global interface on ASR9k?

    For 2 interfaces it is probably best to use an xconnect. It is faster and saves system resources (eg mac learning doesnt apply to xconnect).
    Config example:
    l2vpn
     xconnect group link
      p2p link
       interface Bundle-Ether100.4321
       interface Bundle-Ether500.4321
    EFP config:
    interface Bundle-Ether100.4321 l2transport
     encapsulation dot1q 4000
     rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
    interface Bundle-Ether500.4321 l2transport
     encapsulation dot1q 2000
     rewrite ingress tag pop 1 symmetric
    This example shows that you can link 2 EFP's with different vlan's together if you'd pop the tags.
    If the EFP's are of the same vlan, then popping the tag can be done but not a must. In general it is recommended to always pop vlan tags so there is a standard EFP design, but not for any technical reasons.
    When you use a bridge domain and using a BVI, you MUST pop the tags as the BVI has no notion of a vlan tag and wants to see "plain ethernet".

  • Cannot switch between long headers and default headers

  • I am aware that many people, like me, have lost the ability to mirror their iPad, iPhone or computer with Apple TV.  Has anyone yet found a solution?  One day it worked, the next day the option to switch between the device and Apple TV had disappeared.

    Has anyone managed to resolve the problems encountered with Apple TV and the loss of ability to mirror iphones, ipads or computers?  One day it was working perfectly, from all the above devices, the next the option to switch between playing on the device or mirroring to apple tv had disappeared.  I have tried all the obvious such as updating iTunes, turning all devices off and then back on, but nothing is working.  Help please!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your problem is most certainly network related, you might try restarting your devices including your router as a temporary solution, but in the long term would be better correcting the problems with your network.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.
