Confirmation screen accessed by email with a confirmation link

Hi,
I have an application with 2 pages.
Page 1 is a new employee form. (used by any employee)
Page 2 is a form to confirm the data from Page 1. (used by HR)
I want HR to be notified by email when they have to confirm a new employee. I want something similar to the email Oracle sends me when my workspace on apex.oracle.com is idle for too long. (shame on me if this happen! :P)
example:
To prevent your workspace from being removed, please go to the Web address below and confirm your account within the next 7 days. Remember that you can always sign up for a new workspace in the future, should you not wish to confirm your existing one at this time.
Confirmation Link: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=41472:1:::::P1_SGID,P1_RID:3498619315552842220,79315112795249266565410311893274685909
Thank you,
The Oracle Application Express Team
In this email, we have a link to the application 41472. We go to page 1 and put values inside P1_SGID and P1_RID.
P1_SGID : I think this is a Security Group ID
P1_RID : I have no idea what's this ID
I need more information about those IDs and how do I generate them. I don't need to put an expiration date on the link (ex.: 7 days).
Currently, I send an email with the following link:
Confirmation Link: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=100:2:::::P2_FORM_ID:15165
The user needs to login and if he is someone from HR, he can access the form. I'd like to pass a "security id" so the user doesn't need to log to confirm a form.
Help is welcome! :)

Louis-Guillaume,
The random number is no different than a password, except that it's probably stronger than most. If you need to mix it up a bit, you can apply some sort of hash function to it.
Also, to mitigate a brute force attack, you can require an additional parameter so that the pair has to match. So, for instance, User Name. Then, you can expire the "key" if someone tries more than three invalid strings for a specific user name. Sure, you also lock out the legitimate user this way, but at least you kept out the bad guys.
Security is a combination of what you're protecting, who you're protecting it from, and what are the repercussions if the data is in fact, compromised. Using that forumula, you should be able to determine whether a single value is sufficient or if you need to apply additional constraints.
Thanks,

Cannot access MobileMe email with my Palm T/X

I cannot access my email with my Palm software..getting error message saying to use PC or Mac browser. Any suggestions on how I can use my Palm browser to access my mobileMe mail?
Thanks.

Hello mgrschizo, Welcome to the Palm Support Community.
There is no legal way to download the Installation Disk for the TX, due to the fact you've already mentioned - it contains copywritten software that is not "free for the taking". You can purchase the latest version of Docs to Go from Dataviz.com.
Usedpdaparts.com appears to still have some of the disks for sale though:

Hi. I pre ordered an album from iTunes using my iPhone 4S. Once released I received an email with a download link. I followed the link from the email which took me to iTunes Store. There I found the album & all tracks shown as purchased but with no apparent way of downloading. When I check for items to download, it isn't there. When I check purchased items purchased, it isn't there either. It only appears when I tap the album cover from the front page & then only as purchased.

Hello 28mexiworth
Check your Music app to see if it already downloaded. You can also check iTunes on your computer to Check for a available downloads. If you are still not able to get it, then report the issue to iTunes.

Email with document display link?

Hi All,
My req..is
When sales document created I just need to send the email with Document display link. When user clicks the link it should open the document in display mode.
I created a workflow with - BUS2032 -Create Event
So now what kind of step I should use to just send email with document link?
Do I need to use email 'SEND EMAIL' or ' ACTIVITY' step?
Can anyone give me idea?
Thanks in advance.
Kavitha

Hi Rick ,
Thanks for the information.
But I am looking only email notification (not the workitem). Just send the email with link. When user clicks the link the document should open in display mode and workflow end with after sending the email.
Actually I need this for BUS2030 also (Inquiry Creation) . If any inquiry created then I need to send the email to user with link.
Is it possible to send Document link in the email step? If so how to send the link in the email?
Or I have to create Activity Step and insert BUS2030-dispaly OR BUS2032-display in method node?
Thanks.

Problems accessing Yahoo email with Mail on iMac

Hi, I can happily access my emails from Yahoo using my iPhone and iPad. However, neither my MacBook Pro or my iMac (both running Mavericks) can access my emails using "Mail". I can use Webmail on Safari ok, but whenever I try to access Yahoo mail with "Mail", I get a message saying I should re-enter my password, or that the Server is unavailable. I have 2 stage authorisation activated, and "Keychain", and I had to enter a special 'Yahoo-generated' password to allow my iOS units to work. However, each time I use my OSX units, an email says an unauthorised attempt to access my mails has been made.
I've tried deleting the account and reinstalling and rebooting etc, to no avail. I think that Yahoo needs to authorise the iMac and Macbook, but I can't work out how to do it.

Ive found the solution to this problem. Its the secondary sign in system used at Yahoo for unauthorised sign-ins. While its possible to authorise an iPad or iPhone using a special one off password, this cannot be done on a desk top. The simple solution is to switch off the secondary security sign-in option.

Mozilla blocking email with website form link, IE lets it through?

I have to complete a claim form each month. This is sent via an email with a link to a website form fill. In the past couple of months this has stopped appearing and I have had to manually request a form. This month even asking for one manually did not work. The company advised that I had requested 6 forms but none had come through. I decided to change back to Internet Explorer and straight away the form came through. Is there a way of allowing emails with Mozilla?

Are you logging into the same email account in both Firefox and IE using the same web address (URL)? In case there is a subtle difference, which could be caused by saving your bookmarks or home page at different times, could you try copying the address from IE's address bar to Firefox's address bar to see whether that makes any difference in what emails you see?

I preordered a movie a while ago and received an email with the confirmation but now that it is available to everyone i can't seem to download it, it says that i have to purchase it again even though i already payed. HELP MEEEE PLEASE

help

You are sure that you've paid for it, it's been deducted from your payment method e.g. account's balance or credit card ? Pre-orders aren't paid-for when you pre-order them, you are charged when they are released and you download them - at any time up until that point you could cancel the pre-order, so you can't be charged until then.

After creating an apple ID it says it has to verify my email adress and will send an email with a verification link. I never get the email.

Apple ID security issues -
Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an Apple representative to securely establish your identity as the account holder. You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a time convenient to you.

How to eliminate confirm screen popup

when i click back arrow, i get a confirm screen. (to resend)
how to eliminate confirm screen popup every time?

You get an alert about resending POST data if you go back to a page that was previously requested from the server by submitting form data via a POST form.
The only way that Firefox can make sure to get the same page is by resending that POST form.
Firefox doesn't know what that form data means, so Firefox asks for confirmation before resending that form data as such an action can cause you to repeat an action and buy another item or post a message another time.
The only way to prevent that pop-up is not to use the Back button, but to open links from a page that was requested from a server by sending a POST form in a new tab (window) with a middle-click or a Ctrl + left-click.
Then you can close that tab or window to go back.

Access Hotmail email on IpodTouch

Hi there
Has anyone come across this problem....?
Until today I accessed Hotmail email with my IpodTouch without problems that is until I downloaded and installed the new software 2.2.1.
Now if I try to access Hotmail I get a lovely message that says "we were unable to sign you in with your windows live ID. For help fixing this problem visit http://live.login.com on your PC (the latter is an intended insult from Bill's deputies). The thing is and naturally of course, there is NO help whatsoever on the live.login page, except for something that asks me to register my mobile device (but my Ipod touch is just that, it's not an iphone with a phone number !)
Any suggestions of how to access my once accesible hotmail account, gladly welcome. And yes I know I could auto forward all my mail to my mac.com or gmail account, I just don't want to have to for many reasons.
Regards
jeruden

Safari -- cannot access CompuServe email account

Hello, I've got new Mac hw/sw, first time in many years after longtime Windows usage. Safari 2.0.1 -- I can't access my CompuServe email account from Safari, when I enter my ID and PW on this page:
http://webcenters.netscape.compuserve.com/menu/
the URL flashes back and forth a few times and then finally returns with the message:
"The service you are trying to reach is temporarily unavailable - please try your request again.."
In the meantime, I can go to my Windows pc and access the email with no problems.
Does Safari not work with CompuServe email on the internet?
Regards -- PDG

Hi, PDG, welcome to Apple's user-to-user Discussion Forums.
Compuserve - brings back memories - I was a member for years and years.
Anyway, Safari is one of the strictist browsers when it comes to rendering pages and scripts. I would first try another Mac browser, such as Firefox, to see if it is Safari that is the problem or if it is because there might be some Windows-specific coding involved. Let us know what happens.

The target database can implement PL/SQL web services. These can be called via HTTP.
The local database can use UTL_HTTP to make a call to the target database's web service for accessing target database data.
Both databases can use AQ (Advance Queues). This can be integrated with an application server's JMS queues.
This enable one database to enqueue a request to the other database, and for that database to respond by sending data.
There are numerous such type of interfaces that can be used. Some primitive. Some advanced. Some simple. Some complex.
The easiest and most flexible mechanism is however a database link. And it does not make sense to disallow database links for security and management reasons, but allow JMS for example. The network infrastructure is the same for both methods. The network protocol is the same. The security issues and concerns are the same - except that JMS for example is significantly more moving parts and make configuration and security a lot more complex than using a database link.
