Database authentication with 9i web reports

My apologies if this has been answered already or is an elementary question. I couldn't find the answer to it with a search.
Simply put, how do you authenticate to the database with a JSP web report which uses the RW taglib? I've got my report ready to go but when I attempt to run it I get the error "REP-1202: ORACLE logon not specified". I've searched the documentation for a conf file to put the database configurations in but haven't come up with much. HELP!
Jeremy

hello,
there are three ways of passing the database connection information to your JSP
1) pass the parameter USERID=username/password@connectstring to the JSP
2) code it into the parameters-attribute of the rw:reports tag in your JSP
3) use the keymap file to define a key on the server, containing the parameter and then just pass the key to your JSP

Database authentication with 9iAS

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone nows when it will be possible to use database authentication with 9iAS. I don't mean just removing the password from the DAD configuration and authentication that way. I want to be able to have basic Oracle authentication like in OAS.

In the next release of iAS (towards end of year) single signon will be integrated with apache. At that time, it will be possible to do this.

DAD and Database Authentication with db link

I have a report that access a table via dblink and displays the result set.
I am trying to implement the database authentication for this using DAD. I created the new DAD without the plsqlusername and password. When I run this application with the valid apex_public_user I get a
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist ORA-02063: preceding line from DB1
But I can run the same SQL from sqlplus for the same user. What am I doing wrong? Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Found what was causing the problem. I had not given the workspace user the necessary permissions on the remote database.

Database access with Jave Web Start

Can a java application, that has been deployed by using Java Web Start, access information from a database that's located on the web server from where the application was deployed?

Yes, if you use the type 4 (ie, thin) driver and include the driver's jar file as part of the app.
Technically you can do it with a thick driver but then you have first install the driver on the client machine and I assume this isn't what you are looking for,

Database Authentication with CMP

Hi all,
I was curious if there was any way to have the login credentials for the underlying datasource that my CMP 2.0 entity bean uses be passed in somehow at "access" time (i.e. via some context object, properties, JAAS, etc).
Basically I want to have my entity bean receive the user's username/password prior to retrieving data for the bean and have it use that authentication information to access the underlying datasource.
Ideas? Suggestions?
Thanks,
Eric

In the next release of iAS (towards end of year) single signon will be integrated with apache. At that time, it will be possible to do this.

How to use a custom database authentication with APEX_AUTHENTICATION??

i have Custom user authentication method.
create or replace function user_check(username varchar2,password varchar2) return boolem
is
check_out integer;
begin
select count(*) into check_out from "user" where USER_EMAIL=username and USER_PASS=password;
if check_out >0 then
return true;
else
return false;
end if;
end;
apex_authentication.login() how to use. And how to make apex_authentication.login() use my method Verify User Login

You can't mix custom authentication and the internal APEX authentication functions.. So either you use the pre-built user authentication in APEX or you can build your own CUSTOM authentication...
Many examples of custom authentication are out there...
Thank you,

MS Word from Web Report

I need to produce reports that can be saved to a file and also be exported to or read by MS Word. Is this possible with a web report?
I have been unable to save any reports run on the web in either HTML, HTMLCSS, or PDF formats. Doing a copy paste of an HTML report from a browser to MS Word produces very uneven results. Do I need to set up my users with the Reports Thin client and Net8 and use command line arguments or can I use a web report to do this?
Thank you.

We normally run to a file (because of two of
those problems: we can postprocess the file
to get valid Unicode and the correct font),
but I just tried something to cache and it
built a (fairly) good RTF file.
I.e, we usually have:
desformat=RTF
destype=file
desname=<blah.rtf>
Oracle is running on Solaris, browser is
running on a DOS box via jinitiator 27 or
so. That may matter to you?
-- Allan Plumb
(Now, if I could only figure out why an
embedded graphic in a report works when
I ask for PDF or RTF but fails for HTML?
Only from the web, OK from report builder.
Sigh.)

"database logon" option for schedule report

When scheduling a report,
Crystal report has the "database logon" option in "shcedule" property page.
But I can't find the "database logon" option for webi report or deski report.
Is this by design.

Hi Tina,
We do not have data base logon option while scheduling the report.
I am not sure what is the significance of it in Crystal but in Webi or deski report we do not need it. We have connections for every universe/report and that has these database log on credential in it. Based on it reports get refresh and run.
Thanks

Hi,
I am working with a webi report, did some changes and when I click on Run Query, the Opening document dialog box is displayed and the report data is not displayed.
I clicked on Canel button and tried to run another webi report and it also does the same thing.
When I try to run another documents such as Crystal Report, is runs fine.
I am using BO XI 3.1 server and MS SQL Server 2008.
Any help in this regard is appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi

Scheduled WEBI reports based on File Events not retrieving data

Dear All,
We are facing performance related issues with Scheduled WEBI reports based on file based events.
When running Web Intelligence on demand it takes 4to 5 Minutes.
Scheduling the same report in Excel format it takes more than 20 minutes.Schedule status showing success but no data found in Excel instance.
Env:BOXI3.1 Sp3
Windows 2003
It woud be great if any one can share your ideas.
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Is your report has prompts?
if you have prompts , make sure that you assigned prompts in the schedule also.
Hope you have multiple webi processing servers and adpative job servers for better scheduling performance.
Try below solution .
On the BusinessObjects Enterprise server, navigate to the folder <install root>\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_X86\dataAccess\connectionServer
Open the file cs.config in a text editor such as Notepad
Search the file contents for the string "Traces Active"
Modify the line from <Traces Active="Yes"> to <Traces Active="No">
Save the cs.config file
Restart the Web Intelligence Processing Server

Common Global Prompt on DashBoard for all WebI Reports

Common Global Prompt on DashBoard for all WebI Reports
Is it possible to have a common prompt on the Dashboard. Which passes these variables/prompts to other WEBI reports show on the dashboard
Most of the financial WEBI reports have common prompt (year and period)
If I select or enter two common prompt can this be passed to all the webi reports shown on that DashBoard.
Thanks & Regards
Ishaq

Hi,
You cannot achieve this using WEBI alone. You will have to use Xcelsius with WEBI to achieve this. In XI R3.1 you can use the content linking feature on the dashboard to link a Xcelsius Analytic with multiple WEBi reports. You just need to pass prompts to the Xcelsius Analytic and all the corresonding reports will recieve that value. There are several possibilities with this and i have just stated one. Hope that helps.

Kerberos authentication with Apache Kerberos Module

Hi,
Using the Java GSS tutorials, I have been able to create code to successfully authenticate with our KDC server or from a local ticket cache.
However, I have been unsuccessful in using the obtained credentials to perform client authentication with a web server running Apache using Kerberos for authentication (mod_kerberos).
I have tried to use an SSLSocket to connect to the server, which works fine. To request a page that requires client side authentication, I have passed the necessary client headers, over the socket connection e.g.
GET: http://www.myhost.com/protected_page.html
HOST: www.myhost.com
AUTHENTICATE: negotiate XXXXX
However, I do not know what to put in place of XXXXX. Using some PHP code and Firefox, I have been able to observe what Firefox is passing to the web server to perform client side authentication. It is clearly passing a base64 encoded string, which is related to the cached Kerberos credentials.
Can anyone tell me, how I can use Java and GSS to perform client side authentication with an Apache web server that is using the Kerberos authentication module? I know it is possible to do so using SPEGNO in a Windows environment, but this is a Linux/Unix environment, so it is not an option.
Thanks for any help or advice,
Neil.

Here are your options:
1) Configure Krb5LoginModule programmatically.
If the environment variable KRB5CC_NAME points to the ticket cache location,
(which is updated each time), you can configure the Krb5LoginModule
programmatically and set the "ticketCache" option to the value obtained
from KRB5CC_NAME.
Refer to following docs for details:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/security/jgss/tutorials/LoginConfigFile.html
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/security/auth/login/Configuration.html
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/security/auth/login/AppConfigurationEntry.html
2) Use native Kerberos from the platform
Java SE 6 provides support for native GSS/Kerberos on Solaris/Linux platforms.
NOTE: If native GSS/Kerberos on your platform does not have support for SPNEGO,
you will not be able to use this option.
For details refer to following docs:

Access Web Database - Select record and make report with all associated records

Hey everyone,
Right now I'm in the middle of trying to convert an Access client database to be web compatible and I'm running into some problems. For this question, I think I may need to explain a little bit about the database:
The database I'm making is designed to store information about music rights for different songs. The users can input information about writers, producers, organizations, properties, businesses - which is stored all in different related tables. Then, when a
user inputs a song, they choose which writers, produces, organizations, etc. are affiliated with that song.
What I'm trying to do is make a report where you can choose a writer from the list of all the writers and then produce a report with all of the songs by that writer.
I was able to do this in the Access client by making a report that, when opened would trigger (using the On Open event) a form to open where you would choose a writer from a combo box and then click a button. When the button was clicked, it would use the value
in the combo box in a query, which would find all of the songs by that writer and then open up the report which would have the writer and all of their songs on it.
Because web reports don't have many event options and web queries are very limited, I have not found a way to make this report.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I found that you've cross post the quesion on our Answer forum, are you satisfiled the reply from there?
