Custom user table

Hello,
I'm a newbie to Oracle Portal and I'm currently working on a conference project. We already have database from last year. There we have user table and other tables. I have already created custom login portlet for users to login but I used portal SSO package. Here comes the tricky part: How can I link portal user table and my user table, so I would know the details of a user when he logs in.
The best solution would be if I could use my table instead of PORTAL30_SSO.WWSEC_PERSON table.
Can anybody help me please !?!
Tnx in advance.
Mitja.

To handle using DIP, refer to the Oracle Identity Manager, Application Developers Guide. That gives recommendations on the ldap-ntfy package.
Handling the operation using OID plug-in will have performance impact on the ldap operations performed on OID.

How to populate custom USER table with data from Oracle Internet Directory?

Hi all,
We have a Users table in our internal forms application.
I want to populate this USERS table each time users are added in Oracle Internet Directory.
Likewise for modification and deletion.
How to go about doing this ?
I know that it involves Oracle Directory Provisioning Integration Service and we might have to use LDAP_NTFY plsql proc to implement this.
Am I on the right track ? Can anyone point me to the exact steps to go about synching up the USERS table from Oracle Internet Directory ?
Thanks,
Sam

How to specify a custom User-Agent for an HTTPService call?

I'm trying to have HTTPService send a custom User-Agent
string in the request headers but it seems to ignore the header=""
method.
Is there any documentation on how to do this? Or would I have
to use URLRequest instead?

Hi,
The column's style classes will be added on the <td> elements, not the header sadly. So for your use case you'll have to place the class on the table itself then use the selector
af|table.MyStyleClass af|column.formHeader::header-text{}Sadly this will affect all columns, not just one so I don't know if it's going to fir your need.

Linking user table with system table

Hello, I'm trying to link a user table with IC table in order to asign many sales person to a customer.
I've created a new button in the IC form. When clicked a new form is opened to asign sales person to the IC. Now I need to retrieve the records assigned to this IC. How can I do that???
Regards.
Angel.

Hi Angel,
I would put a matrix in the new form where you could see/asign/delete the sales person.
Have a look at this post where you can find a great code from Sebastian Danober to fill a matrix from a recordset.
Another option could be to modify the existing IC form and add a new folder with a matrix where you can manage the sales person.
Check this other post with code for adding folder to an existing form.

Population of custom LIS tables thorugh MFBF transaction

Hello Friends,
I have created a custom LIS tables S728 for Shop floor control (04) and it is updated though REM Backflush (transaction MFBF). But some of the fields are not populated. Can someone help me to understand how this LIS table is populated? I am looking for piece of code where this table is populated.
I see some includes inside main program for MFBF transaction related to LIS structures, but control does not stop there in while debugging MFBF Tran code.
Any direction/suggestion will help.

User tables belonging to the dbo schema were found in the database...

Hi
I´m running SAP on windows server 2003 R2 x64 sql 2005.
I have installed a sandbox system based on NW 7.01 SR1 ECC 6.0. It´s only abap.
After that I wanted to make a system copy of our production system to the the sandbox. So my sql colleague took a full backup of the production database and restored it into the sandbox.
Now I´m trying to run the system copy installation sapinst - SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4 Ready (Support Release 1) - Sotware life Cycle Options - System Copy - MS SQL Server - Target System Installation - Central System - Based on AS ABAP - Central System...
I choose custom and say it´s a Homogeneus System Copy (MS SQL Servver-specific)
After that I choose "Use existing database" but the it say:
*User tables belonging to the dbo schema were found in the database ES0. SOLUTION: You can only install an SAP system in a database with no user objects belonging to the system schema dbo. If there already is an SAP system in the database (MCOD), or you install a Java Add-In, you might have to convert the existing system to its own schema, or contact your SAP support.*
I have searched the forums and can´t find anything I can use. I found someone wrote that I should change the control.xml file under sapinst directory:
Proceed as follows:
1. Stop SAPinst.
2. Open the file control.xml in the sapinst log directory and look for the following lines:
AllowNew: mig ? ?false? : ?true?,
AllowDboObjects: mig ? ?true? : ?false?,
3. Change these lines to
AllowNew: ins ? ?true? : ?false?,
AllowDboObjects: ins ? ?false? : ?true?,
4. Save the control.xml, restart SAPinst and choose ?Continue old installation?.
but it is not helping.
Please advise me.
If this is the wrong forum please tell which one is correct.
Best regards
Thomas

Built-in users table

Hello,
I want to build an authentication function based on the built-in users table, some thing like:
(select * from (appex-user) where user=&varialble and password=&varialbes)
How can I do that?
Edited by: Najla on Jan 16, 2013 8:34 AM

Hi,
you can build table like
CREATE TABLE "USER_LOGIN"
   (     "USER_NAME" VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "USER_PASS" VARCHAR2(50))and use function like this
create or replace FUNCTION "AACU_F" (
p_username IN VARCHAR2,
p_password IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN BOOLEAN IS
BEGIN
FOR c1 IN (SELECT 1
FROM USER_LOGIN
WHERE UPPER(USER_NAME) = UPPER(p_username)
AND UPPER(USER_PASS) = UPPER(p_password))
LOOP
RETURN TRUE;
END LOOP;
RETURN FALSE;
END;now change your Authentication Schemes
Scheme Type : custom
in Authentication Function Name : use the function name you created (AACU_F) .

Global Users Table

Good afternoon,
I wasn't sure what to enter in the subject line, so as you see I used "Global Users Table". It doesn't completely convey what my question is, so I'll try to explain better.
We perform custom authentication in our Apex apps. Currently, we have a user table for each application that stores information about the user. It contains name, email address, password hash, roles, etc. It's a pretty nice process and works very well for us.
We want to migrate to a global user table and store all of our Apex users in 1 table. (We'll also have a separate table which will contain a row for each Apex app a person has access to and what their roles are.) This will have obvious advantages. For one we won't have to create a new app specific users table each time we create a new Apex app. And, we'll be able to use the same authentication procedure for all of our Apex apps since all users and their passwords will be in 1 table.
We haven't created any of the objects yet. We're just building the spec right now. Does anyone have experience in doing what we're attempting to do? If so, will you share how you accomplished it?
Thx, Tony

Sounds like an interesting idea.. Have you looked at the article from a few years back in Oracle magazine that showed how to code a portal type application that allowed access to individual applications, this handled the user information at that level, similar to what you are doing..
See this article from Oracle magazine June 2006: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/issue-archive/2006/06-may/o36apex-086847.html
Thank you,

Help with setting up User Table/Picklist

Hello:
I am creating an application where I am using a custom authentication scheme and capturing all user information in a separate table. When the user logs in it will refer to the table to identify a user name and password stored in the table.
I am allowing users to create their own user accounts which will default to basic access levels. Further along in the process users will be required to select an individual to approve something. I want to use a pick list so that the approver name is entered consistently every time. The user table has the following format:
Column Name Data Type Nullable Default Primary Key
USERNAME VARCHAR2(8) No - 1
PASSWORD VARCHAR2(8) No - -
FNAME VARCHAR2(30) No - -
LNAME VARCHAR2(30) No - -
EMAIL VARCHAR2(50) No - -
ADMIN VARCHAR2(1) Yes - -
APPROVER VARCHAR2(1) Yes - -
I'd like the users to be able to select from a pick list that displays LNAME, FNAME. I don't know how to have both fields show up in a pick list.
Alternatively I'd like (if possible) to keep the two seperate fields for the creation of the user accounts so that I can get a consistent LNAME, FNAME format and people aren't entering it backwards (i.e. Smith, Joe v. Joe Smith).
If I cannot show the two fields in the picklist, is there a way where I could add a self calculating filed to the table that will concatenate LNAME", "FNAME?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

RKD,
Create a dynamic list of values.
select lname||', '||fname displayed, username returned
from user
order by 1You can display anything you want, independent of the returned value. And that includes concatenating items together (or doing other calculations/manipulations).

FBCJ Profit Center Field mapping with customized z-table

Hi Techies,
Requirement is that: in FBCJ t-code, the field profit Center will be connected with customized z-table, and while user will input except values of customized table, system will generate error message.

Hi Krishna,
This check can be achieved by creating validation using T.Code GGB0. How this can be done can be got from the following links.
