Can portlets access external app login info?

I need to write a portlet that uses the login information entered by users for external applications. The portlet will access the external application, but needs the login parameters that the user has supplied. Is this possible? If so, can anyone point me in the right direction to begin?
Thanks--

Corey,
Two approaches:
1) You can get the user's login name from the wwctx_api package, as described in the Portal Development Kit (PDK)). You will not be able to retrieve the user's password from the API, for obvious security reasons. The PDK has other useful APIs for both PL/SQL and Java - check it out.
2) You can set up your external application as a partner application to the Login Server. Please see the Oracle Single Sign-On Application Developer's Guide for more information.
Regards,
Jerry

    How can I access my App Store now I have changed to a new apple ID?

    That wasn't a very good idea. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another or merge Apple IDs. Not for anyone. All of the content that you got free or bought with the old ID is forever associated with that ID. You cannot redownload or update any of it without the old Apple ID.

  • I downloaded iBooks but there's no icon to open it, and I can't uninstall because I can't access the app. How do I either open it or uninstall and reinstall?

    When I downloaded iBooks no icon appeared on the homepage, so I can't uninstall to reinstall, nor can I access the app. How can I do either of these?

    If you're sure you downloaded it, and the app was actually installed, try using the search function to find the app. Tap your homekey once to get to the search screen (or swipe to the left one screen over from your left-most home screen), then type in iBooks.
    If search doesn't locate iBooks, then the app wasn't installed. Try restarting your iPad. (Don't just put it to sleep and wake it up again; shut it down then turn it back on.)

    Your profile indicates your Mac is running v10.7.2
    If that is correct, updating your system software may help.
    Click Software Update from the Apple menu.
    Restart your Mac after updates are installed then try the App Store.
    If you can't update that way, there's a workaround.
    Install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)
    Then restart your Mac and try the App Store.

  • I finally updated my Touch to iOS5, and now I can't access my apps or pictures

    I finally updated my Touch to iOS5, and now I can't access my apps or pictures. Can anyone help?

    - You can't drag and drop app.  You have to syc them by checkingthe one syou want synced and then click on the sync button.
    - For the app problem try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Download/install any new app.

    Force close the App Store app and reset the iPad. No data will be lost when you reset the device.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Re: Trouble connecting to apps and iTune store. 
    Jan 30, 2013 10:29 PM (in response to DonWhite)
    Like so many others, after updating to OS6 and changing my iCloud password, none of my devices (iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, iMac etc) could connect to the tunes store, the error message was something "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again." However, there was nothing wrong with my internet connection - programs like Safari & Mail worked just fine.
    After trawling through the discussions and trying the recommendations (change time/date, activate location services, reset network settings etc) I just became more frustrated.
    I figured that if iTunes thought my network connection was the problem, maybe I should try tricking it and, after much trial, error and frustration, I did find a solution - and it may work for you...
    I turned off WiFi on my iPhone, then connected to my telco's 3G network, then connected to the iTunes store and it worked fine. Then I switched back to WiFi and all is good. Did the same for the iPad. For the MacBook and iMac I turned off WiFi then tethered the iPhone on the 3G network to the computer, then connected to iTunes Store, then went back to WiFi. For some reason that I don't understand, this all went as planned and now everything works.
    Anyway, I thought I should contribute to the community by letting you know the solution I found. Of course, this may not necessarily work for you, but it's worth a shot.

  • Can't access any apps in ipodafter downloadig in itunes

    can't access any apps in ipod after downloading in itunes

    Have you tried a hard reset yet?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If that doesn't work, try downloading another free app from the App Store.  This has been known to resolve the issue for a number of users.

  • I can't access the App Store icon. It opens but a large delta airlines app is superimposed over the top of the App Store updates icons and is locking the entire app. How do I delete it?

    I can't access the App Store app. When I tap the Icon, a large Delta airlines app is superimposed over the top of everything and freezes up the entire App Store. how can delete this large app and where did it come from.

    Quit the App Store app and reset your iPad.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • I can't access the App Store without a credit card or gift card is their a way i can do it without those

    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

    I've disabled the firewalls, the virus protection, the application protection - nothing helps.

    I'd maybe try doing a search for Safari on your iPad first (swipe to the left to search). If it shows up in that search you can go to Settings > General > Reset and choose 'reset home screen layout' which will put it back where it would be by default.
    All else fails? Restore it.

  • I can't access my iTunes account info from my own laptop, but I can from other computers.

    I can perform a basic log in on iTunes. I can authorize my laptop. But when I click the Account link and re-enter my password, iTunes won't accept it. I tried to access my Account page on my friend's desktop -which wasn't even authorized- and I got in right away. I have exchanged more e-mails in the past 4 weeks  with iTunes Support than I ever have with my own mother, and this issue is still giving me teeth-grinding fits. At this point I can't renew paid app subscriptions or purchase paid apps from either my laptop or my phone. It seems like it might have started after I installed the last iTunes update, but I'm not sure.
    I have:
    -Completely un and re-installed iTunes
    -Had my password reset by Tech Support more times than I can count
    -Had my laptop de-authorized by Support and re-authorized it
    and this issue persists.
    I haven't met a computer problem that made me want to put my head through a wall this badly since I owned a DELL!!
    Ideas? Thoughts? Anyone...?
    Thanks,

    Okay this was the reply i got from Apple support.......
    Dear Stephen,
    Welcome to iTunes Store Customer Support. My name is Thilak and it would be a pleasure for me to assist you today.
    I'm sorry to hear that you can't connect to the iTunes Store. I realize how concerning a situation like this can be and I would be more than happy to provide you with as much information as I can to help.
    Stephen, I would like to inform that I have verified that the iTunes Store is functioning and accepting connections, which indicates that the issue is related to your internet connection, local network, or your local computer itself.
    Okay everything was going fine until i updated my software with the latest Lion update and my other macbook pro works fine (still on snow leopard). Come on Apple man up and admit the Lion upgrade wasn't ready!!!!! and i didn't say i couldn't connect to the itunes store i told him i couldn't access my account information!!!
