Application Express Authentication

Hello,
I am quite new to apex and I was not able to find an answer to this question. When we use the Application Express Authentication for user authentification, the message displayed when there is a login error is something like 'Invalid Login Credentials'.
I was wondering where is this message generated? I thought in shared components -> auth, but no. If we want to modify this message, do we need to create our own auth. scheme?
Regards,

The INVALID_CREDENTIALS message is the one you need.
I think your application language does not match the language you entered for the INVALID_CREDENTIALS message. These two languages must match in order to have your INVALID_CREDENTIALS message applied. Navigate to the 'Globalization' section on the 'Application Properties' page. This page tells you how the application language is determined.

Database or Application Express Authentication

For an APEX application that resides behind a secured portal, which authentication scheme should I use?
It seems to me Database authentication is more flexible (many db users granted with different privileges) while Application Express authentication is easier (one user with authorization not as flexible).
Am I off on the assumption? can someone tells me the pros and cons of the two?
TIA,
Yivon

Hi, Dimitri --
It is not Oracle portal. This portal is set up to limit access from public. I will have a link behind the portal, but I still need to limit access to groups of users with various permissions. Meaning whoever can click on the link does not necessary have permission to access my APEX application, and even if he/she can access the application, he/she may not be able to access certain pages or buttons.
My questions is: which authentication scheme will be better and why.
Thanks again,
Yivon

SSO Authentication for more than one application in Application Express

Hello,
I recently got a single application working with SSO integration for Application Express 2.2.
Now I would like to create multiple applications within the same workspace, which all use SSO authentication. I tried both copying the working one from the other application and creating a new SSO authentication scheme from scratch into the new aplication.
I cant seem to make the new application work with SSO authentication. Do I have to go through all of the same steps I went through to get it working with the first application?
Thanks
-sean

Ok, my bad.
After shutting down my web browser and reopening it, the SSO integration now works for both the old and new applications. Not sure what was cached, but it was bypassing the sso check.

Problems with "Application Express Accounts" authentication scheme...

Hi.
I'm using Application Express 4.1.1.00.23 on Oracle 10g XE.
I have created and used an authentication scheme based on APEX accounts which worked okay for a while but it now experiencing issues. All the current users are working fine, but I cannot add new ones in the app! Oh, I'm using an APEX generated Access Control page within the app (which I have deleted/recreated to no joy).
If I make changes to a current user I get the expected "1 row(s) updated, 0 row(s) inserted." message and it has indeed worked. If I "Add User" and "Apply Changes", nothing happens... well, the page is seemingly submitted, but no action is taken, no errors are raised, but no user is added.
Curiously, if I both amend a user and add a user before applying changes I get the following -
"1 error has occurred
Current version of data in database has changed since user initiated update process. current row version identifier = "A884FA378C851786DDFE3A33709CB23C" application row version identifier = "234234C67A01764460EDABD366BC4C48" (Row 2)"
The row is mentions is the one I tried to amend. To make matters worse, it's not consistent as another row I tried to amend (at the same time as inserting a new user) gives the following error -
"1 error has occurred
unique constraint (ICTLIVE.APEX_ACCESS_CONTROL_PK) violated (Row 1)"
This update, again, works correctly when I try to update without adding a new user!
Very confused, can anyone help please!
Thanks in advance,
Adam.

Hi, and thanks for the reply.
I have used this successfully before myself... that's why this is confusing me! I have tried recreating the page with the same number and also creating a new page with a new number and the result is the same. It leads me to believe there's something else going on but I have no idea what!
Adam.

Oracle OpenSSO Pattern Matching for Application Express "Free" Pages

Has anyone successfully established a "Free" page within an Application Express application under Oracle's OpenSSO? The problem seems to be associated with the use of wildcards and the f?p syntax. In addition, the use of wildcards and multi-level wildcards in the OpenSSO un-enforced policy list seems to drop semi-colons from the posted URLs. We have successfully deployed applications which require authentication, but applications which contain a "free" landing page elude me.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Oracle Portal, Application Express, Oracle Forms/Reports 10g - which one?

Hi,
I have Oracle 10g database and Application Express installed on one linux box.
second linux box has Oracle HTTP server running from where i call the htmldb pages.
3rd linux box has Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 installed along with SSO, Portal 10.1.4 , Forms Server etc.
Now, i see there are 3 ways i can develop web applications
1. using Application Express and http server which is very basic and simple.
2. using Oracle Forms/Reports 10g and forms/reports server
3. Oracle Portal 10.1.4 in Application Server 10.1.2
Can someone guide me, which one of the above 3 is worth sticking on forever for developing web applications. i am really not sure which one of the above is best for Web developement in terms of long term planning. and i believe all 3 of the above can be integrated with Oracle SSO for authentication.
Can someone guide me please to select one of the above and can you explain me why for my better understanding of the different tools?
Thanks,
Philip.

Hi Philip.
If you already have Oracle Portal, I think that portal is the best solution.
Portal can be integrated with others applications using SSO.
Oracle portal have a lot of features that help you to develop web applications.
If portal does not offer what you want, you can develop your own portlets using java or plsql.
Take a look at the default home page of oracle portal.
Look better the features that portal offer to you.

Print a report from Application Express direct to a CUPS Printer

Hi all, I'm new to this technology, is it possible to print a report from Application Express directly to a CUPS Printer? Can someone tell me in laymans terms how to do it? I find the terminology and documentation less than helpful.

Jeremy,
BI Publisher handles submitting reports directly to a CUPS printer. However, the APEX integration doesn't currently integrate with that portion of BI Publisher.
Here's an options:
Use the Java API of BI Publisher to build a custom Java program that would do this for you. Delivering to CUPS is part of the Java API.

Can not login to Oracle Application Express after upgrade to 3.2

I installed oracle database express and then I upgrade APEX to 3.2 on it. I got the login page but I can not login by using any account, like SYS, SYSTEM. From the document, internal ADMIN account should exist but I did not see it from dba_users table.
Thanks,
Julie

HI Don,
I did run apxchpwd.sql to change the Application Express ADMIN user password. Then I invoked http://mymachine:8080/apex and got the Application Express login page. I put ADMIN in workspace and ADMIN in Username and the new password. But I still cannot login. I also tried http://mymachine:8080/apex/apex_admin page login. I typed ADMIN as username and the new password. Then I clicked on Login button. Nothing happened. No error message.
Any idea?
By the way, what does apxxepwd.sql do?
Thanks,
Julie

Unfortunately I can't provide much help, other than that we have seen this before with 9iR2, but haven't yet figured out when this does occur, so not sure if it's related to a specific patch version. If possible, I'd recommend upgrading to database 10g or higher. And if we do figure out under what circumstances this problem comes up in 9iR2, I'll post this on the forum.

Upgrading Application Express on Oracle XE (installed on Ubuntu 8.04)

I'd installed on my laptop (OP is Ubuntu 8.04) Oracle XE and is wotking quite fine.
But I really like to upgrade apex to last version (3.1.2). I read documentation but are not many information about how to upgrade.
Daniel

Thanks Arie,
On whatever version of Windows I've updated without problems Application Express.
I'm talking here about Ubuntu (a debian distribution of Linux).
My problem is where to unzip apex, where to use sqlplus command prompt etc., because is different than Windows.
If you don't have DBA rights on the account (user account other than root) you have errors in installation process and more.
For example they say in doc...:0
"To run the apxconf.sql configuration script:
1. Change your working directory to ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\apex or whatever convention used to indicate the Oracle home.
2. Start SQL*Plus and connect to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed as SYS. For example:
* On Windows:
SYSTEM_DRIVE:\ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> CONNECT SYS as SYSDBA
Enter password: SYS_password
* On UNIX and Linux:
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> CONNECT SYS as SYSDBA
Enter password: SYS_password".....
When you install Oracle what version you need, OP (Linux) create a different user account for Oracle. Usually if you want to use your account like dba for oracle, you need to give to that account the proper rights.
So, I need a installation rutine (for upgrading) for apex on Linux.

Problem with Application Express

Good Morning,
I installed Oracle Application Express, but I have a problem with the first login and the creation of my workspace.
During login using the username 'admin' and pwd as the sys's user because until now the only pwd I configure when I installed Oracle Express 10g and Oracle Application Express.
When I go to login, the page seems not to take any command.
I look a your help. Thanks

Check out the {forum:id=137} forum you'll probably get better help there.
By the way, welcome to the forum! :)

Problem with logon in to Application Express

I have successfully installed oracle Application Express
When I logged in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services for the first time he asked me to change password.
After I changed the password I can't log in to the application any more with the new password .
When I enter the user name and the new password no action happen,
Although when I enter any wrong password, a message with Invalid Login Credentials appear
User Name: admin
Old password: password
New password: oracle
Thanx

Hi Scott
Same results in both IE and FF?
I have only IE
Do you have cookies enabled in the browser?
Yes cookies are enabled in the browser
Does the login page have only two text fields , username and password?
Yes
When you say "no action happen" does that mean you just see the login page all the time or do you see a blank page or something else?
Yes I just see the login page all the time
Thanx

Unable Logging in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services

I am new for DB. Installed Oracle XE, followed the instruction "Logging in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services", I can not find the login page:
http://127.0.0.1:7777/pls/apex/apex_admin
I work on the PC in which XE installed.
Where are these two files
ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\install\portlist.ini
ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\Apache\Apache\conf\httpd.conf
I did a search, can't find them.
Any help welcome.
Thanks.

The default port for the Apex webserver is 8080, not 7777.
To access the XE Database GUI from the Start menu, select Programs (or All Programs), then Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, and then Go to Database Home Page. (I'm assuming your on Windows)
Or try: http://localhost:8080/apex in your browser.
The files you mention relate to Apache web server. Oracle XE does not include a Apache, it's web server is built into the database. Are you sure you're following the right documentation? See http://www.oracle.com/pls/xe102/homepage
Hope this helps.

Need help on installing Oracle Application express 3.2

Hi,
I had downloaded Oracle 11g database and installed the personal edition.I got the Enterprise manager login page working and also the DBConsole
I had Downloaded APEX 3.2 and wanted to install apex 3.2.I wanted to do the following scenario
Scenario 3: Install from the Database and Configure the Embedded PL/SQL
Gateway
Planning to do these steps: ( I have few questions on these steps and are below each step)
■ Running the apxconf.sql Configuration Script
Do I have to install Oracle Application express or is it already installed in 11g personal edition?
Do I have to create a seperate database or schema for this step( I have only one instance orcl1) ?■ Verifying the Oracle XML DB HTTP Server Port
Can I do this step in my current orcl1 instance,if so which user■ Enabling Oracle XML DB HTTP Server
Once I carry out these steps, Can I access the admin page for apex with https://localhost:port/apex_admin ?
Am I missing any other steps ?
Thanks

I have one idea..
Try to install again:
1) download and unzip apex_3.2 in $ORACLE_HOME
You will have:
$ORACLE_HOME/apex - old directory
$ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2 - new directory
2) in command line go to $ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2/apex
run sqlplus "/as sysdba"
in sqlplus run @apexins tablespace_apex tablespace_files tablespace_temp images
Where:
tablespace_apex is the name of the tablespace for the Oracle Application Express application user.
tablespace_files is the name of the tablespace for the Oracle Application Express files user.
tablespace_temp is the name of the temporary tablespace.
images is the virtual directory for Oracle Application Express images. To support future Oracle Application Express upgrades, define the virtual image directory as /i/.
Example:
@apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
3) check installation log for errors
4) in command line go to $ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2/apex
run sqlplus "/as sysdba"
in sqlplus run @apxconf
set admin password
set port
5) run @apxldimg.sql $ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2
6) check for running listener and try to login apex: http:\\host:port\apex\apex_admin
Good luck!
