APEX Security Integration To E-Business Suite

Hi all,
I am reasonably new to APEX and the Forum so please excuse me if this question has been posted previously.
I am looking at creating applications that leverage the user and organization security that is inherent within E-Biz Suite to control access and data returned within my APEX applications.
Environment Details:
O/S: Sun Solaris Unix
APEX: 3.0.1
E-Biz: 11.5.10.2 (no SSO)
APEX and E-Biz use same Apache HTTP Server
I plan to access the APEX application from a custom Menu item on E-Biz and automatically authenticate the E-Biz user's credentials within APEX processes to determine USER_ID, ORG_ID, SECURITY_GROUP_ID, etc for access control of the returned data queries. The APEX application will be primarily reporting on E-Biz data.
I would prefer to utilize APEX rather than built custom modules in Application developer Framework (ADF).
Are there any whitepapers, best practices, or individuals experiences available on this subject that you could share with me please.
Many thanks :-)
Kind Regards,
Gary.

Hi Gary,
maybe get in contact with Scott Spendolini from Sumner Technologies (http://sumnertechnologies.com/), I think these guys have some experience integrating APEX with eBusiness Suite.

Integrate an Apex Application with the E-Business Suite 11i

Hi !
I'm currently working to get connected to APEX (Application Express 3.2.1.00.11) using an E-Business Suite 11i form function then using the ICX cookie.
I'm using a document created by Rod West(consultant at Cabot Consulting) to help me doing this connection.
The document is : http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/pdf/apex_ebs_wp_cabot_consulting.pdf
I always have errors when I try to get connected using the method suggested in the document.
The error I have received is :
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist ORA-00942: table or view does not exist ORA-06512: at "APPS.ICX_SEC", line 2388 ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
This error seems to come from wfa_sec.getsession(:P101_USERNAME) used in the Before Header process of the login page(Page101).
See code here (Figure 10 in the document) :
BEGIN
wfa_sec.getsession(:P101_USERNAME);
:P101_PASSWORD :=
XXAPX_SECURITY_PKG.generate_hash
(FND_GLOBAL.user_name);
IF :P101_PASSWORD IS NOT NULL THEN
APEX_CUSTOM_AUTH.login(
P_UNAME => :P101_USERNAME,
P_PASSWORD => :P101_PASSWORD,
P_SESSION_ID => v('APP_SESSION'),
P_APP_PAGE => :APP_ID||':1'
END IF;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
END;
I have done a "GRANT EXECUTE ON apps.WFA_SEC" to my APEX Schema, so the APEX Schema should have access to everything used by the package... I have tried to "GRANT EXECUTE ON" ICX_SESSIONS but I still have the same error...
Do I need to do other "GRANT" ? Have you experienced the same problem ?
Thanks for your help !

Hi !
Yes, I have already created synonyms but I still got the same errors...the error seems to be related to a table used in the package icx_sec...I have tried to grant and create synonym for tables icx_transactions and icx_sessions but I still got the error. Any ideas ?
I have also tried to use the method (OWA_COOKIE.send) suggested in the 2007 version of the Rod West's document (the method you mentionned in the thread) and I'm able to get connected to my APEX application using the E-Business Menu but I have an intermittent problem with this method.. In fact, some days I'm able to get connected to APEX at the first try but some days I received "Invalid Login Credentials" at the first try and at the second try I get connected...And we haven't found any reasons yet for the intermittent "Invalid Login Credentials" ?
Have you experienced the same intermittent problem on your side ?
Thanks !

E-Business Suite - BizTalk Server Integrations

Our organization is implementing BizTalk Server 2010 to facilitate communication with an ERP under development in an Oracle E-Business Suite r12.1 “On Demand” environment. Some of the modules being developed in E-Business Suite include Payroll, Advanced Benefits, Human Resources, and AP. We are seeking information from anyone who has done something like this. In particular, we would like to know more about exposing and consuming web services to accomplish this integration. Our IT Department will be able to develop its own web services and BizTalk applications within our own domain, but we do not have experience with Oracle E-Business Suite. We understand that the Integration Repository/SOA Gateway may be used to expose some APIs but not all of them. We also understand there may be security and other issues with Oracle functionality that BizTalk adapters for E-Business Suite would have no knowledge of. To summarize, we need to know: (1) if integration between E-Business Suite and outside systems using web services and/or BizTalk has been achieved by anyone in this forum, and (2) if so, how the integration was achieved.

I think your concern is due to externally hosted EBS so that you need to find a secure way of integrating your applications hosted in your datacenter with it. The key here is to have a relaibale network infrastructure - either have dedicated network lines between your data center and on demand or have some high quality VPN between them. If you have this in place, you can treat EBS as another of your internal apps and apply the same security standards as your other internal apps if it is also supported by ebs.

Problems with data migration from E-Business Suite 11i to OID.

Hi everyone i'm trying to migrate data between Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i and Oracle Internet Directory.
I'm following the guidelines from the document: Integrating Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i with Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Single Sign On.
I have created a intermediate LDIF file that will converted to final LDIF file by ldifmigrator utility. But an error occurs when I try to disable a certain profile in the phase of converting the Intermediate LDIF file to final LDIF file. I am running the oidprovtool as cn=orcladmin and the syntax is as follows:
oidprovtool operation=disable \
ldap_host=portal10g.skyrr.is \
ldap_port=3060 \
ldap_user_dn=cn=oracleadm \
ldap_user_password=mypasswd \
application_dn="orclApplicatonCommonName=K95LSP,cn=EBusiness,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext,dc=skyrr,dc=is" \
profile_mode=BOTH
The command returns:
ERROR: Invalid directory credentials. Please check ldap_user_dn and ldap_user_password parameters.
I'm able to bind whith ldapbind and the syntax is as follows:
ldapbind -h portal10g.skyrr.is \
-p 3060
-D cn=orcladmin
-w ******
Can anyone help my to resolve the "Invalid directory credentials" error so that I can continue my Applications 11i migration.
I must admit that i'm new to Oracle Internet Directory and all advices and pointers are highly appreciated.

Sammi

Hello,
As Scott says, the fact that you're using HTTPS rather than HTTP is pretty much transparent to the mod_plsql handler (well in the respect that you don't really need to do anything 'special' in your application I mean).

Database Vault on e-Business suite R12

Hi,
As i know, database vault prevents even DBA's from querying the critical data from the database. Can somebody please tell me what advantage does database vault on e-business suite offers in terms of security. I have installed vault on my e-business R12 database?
If DBA has password for both system and apps schema, they he can access any critical information from the e-business suite database.
Thanks,
Prasad

E-Business Suite 11i with ESSO and Identity Manager

Hi,
We want to use Identity Manager to provision user information to Active Directory, MS Exchange, and E-Business Suite. Also, intend to deploy e-sso to provide single sign-on experience for desktop and web based applications.
Has anyone integrated Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 with Enterprise Single Sign-On and Identity Manager (Identity Management)?
Can we achieve it without using Oracle Internet Directory/OracleAS 10g Single Sign-On?
Any relevant information or issues faced during integration, would be helpful.
Regards.

Hi,
for this integration you will need Provisioning Gateway component of the ESSO suite, and the included OIM-ESSO PG Connector.
The eBusiness Java interface can be integrated with eSSO, trough the java helper object.
There are several metalink notes that describe the OIM-PG integration:
NOTE: 550639.1 eSSO: Overview And Troubleshooting Of OIM Integration With Provisioning Gateway
NOTE: 550642.1 eSSO: OIM PG Integration: ProvisioningInstructionException: The user is not authorized for the action
NOTE: 550645.1 eSSO: OIM PG Integration: Error in Sending Request to web service
NOTE: 550646.1 eSSO: OIM PG Integration: Unsupported major.minor version 49.0
NOTE: 550641.1 eSSO: OIM PG Integration: Add_credential Execution Failed. Error: XPathFactory
NOTE: 550643.1 eSSO: OIM PG Integration: Could not find IT asset value for Svr_key
Yes, with eSSO-OIM you wont need Oracle Internet Directory/OracleAS 10g Single Sign-On.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.1 Oracle VM Templates

I'm pleased to announce the availability of Oracle Virtual Machine Templates for E-Business Suite 12.1.1.
Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.1 OVM Templates Media Packs (32-bit and 64-bit) Now Available
Each media pack includes 2 OVM templates: one for database-tier nodes and one for middle-tier nodes. The templates deliver the results of a 12.1.1 Rapid Install with Vision demo database.
You can now create E-Business Suite database-tier and middle-tier virtual machines on the Oracle Virtual Server platform. On first boot of the virtual machines, administrators will be prompted to initialize the machine and E-Business Suite instance information, which then persists to future boots of that virtual machine.
Note that Oracle Virtual Server platform has been certified with E-Business Suite for a couple of years, but this is the first time we have published OVM templates created by E-Business Suite Development.
Where are Templates and Additional Information Available From?
Our E-Business Suite OVM Templates are announced on external oracle.com page: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/vm/templates/ebs.html|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/vm/templates/ebs.html]
There we list details on how to obtain the templates from Oracle E-Delivery. We have created a Deployment Guide to quickly educate users on core OVM technology and template use details.
For any questions you might have, we have created this external forum.
Distribution
This announcement may be distributed externally to customers. An externally-published version of this announcement is available here:
