Discoverer 3.1 & Applications 11i Security

I'm currently using Discoverer 3.1 in applications modewith 11i.
I was under the impression that using an Applications username/responsibilty to log on would only allow the user to access the same data they could access in Applications. i.e The Applications security would be applied within Discoverer.
I've since been told that this is not the case. Users will have access to ALL data within any tables they have permission to see within the business area.
However I have also been told that the applications security may work if I base the business area on the apps views that already have the security built into them. I've tried attaching some of the apps views and the results seems to be the same as for the tables i.e users can see all the data within the view.
Has anyone managed to build folders in Discoverer that inherit the security from applications? Or is it just a case of manually replicating all the apps security again in Discoverer?

I had similar problems and the solution I found is..
If you are trying to use the Hierarchy Security in HRMS then you should build your Business Area on views. Do not use the tables to retrieve the data. The HRFV_ , HRV_, views have the security built into them.
If you are trying to apply the Flexfield Security rules to apply to discoverer then the business area should be created using the GLFG_ views. These views can be created from Oracle Applications using the "Business Views Setup" responsibility.
You cannot look at the data in the above GL views if you are using SQL*PLUS or Toad. You need to launch discoverer user edition with the GL Responsibility to look at the data. Also make sure that the name of icon is "Dis31usr" if not it will not work.
I have tested the above and they work fine.

  • Conflicts: Discoverer and Oracle Applications

    Hi,
    I have Discoverer (Version 4.1.48.08.00) running on SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 integrated with Oracle Applications 11i.
    Sometimes and unexpectedly the "APPS" user is locked and Oracle Applications needs to be restarted in order to work properly. I don't know the cause, but I'm sure it's caused by Discoverer because it happens exactly at periods of the month when Discoverer users are using it most, at very specific times.
    Sorry to not have more details, but maybe someone have already had the same problem.
    Thanks a lot.
    Fiunes

    Hi Rachael
    It is certified for use with E-Business Suite and as far as I know it is very stable, so long as you have applied the latest patch.
    Like all previous versions of Discoverer you don't want to stay on the out of the box version for longer than you have to.
    Best wishes
    Michael

  • Discoverer Login using Application User

    Hi,
    we have a portal developed using adf and jsf where the usernames and passwords are stored in the table when the user enters the login and password information a procedure check is the user is valid and logs into the application we have VPD to control the security.
    Now i want to pass the logged in username ( Application user ) as application_user parameter,to discoverer url and use it in the post login trigger. How can i achive this ? I am passing the oracle username and password to connect to the database in the url using post method.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You are right you cannot pass the Discoverer password in a URL unless you use a HTTP Post transaction.
    If you are using Oracle Applications you can connect directly to Discoverer from an Applications form function or use SSO.
    If you are using some custom application and the username is not a database user, then you could using a common database username/password and run a logon workbook then runs your custom logon process. The application username and password would then be in the parameters to the workbook in the URL and not Discoverer usernames and passwords.
    Hope that is clear.

  • How can I turn off the WLS 6.1 security in order to develop my own application-based security module?

    Dear Colleagues,
    I am currently developing a J2EE application using WLS 6.1.
    My team and I have to implement a security requirement to suit our company's needs.
    The security requirements are that, users' password need to be aged (30 days maximum) and we need to provided a GUI front-end (JSP) to allow users to change their password when these expire after 30 days.
    Our internal contacts in the company, have already taken the lead to find out about whether we will be able to use the WLS 6.1 platform to do this and the answer we got back, was.
    Now we need to develop our own security module.
    I have 2 questions:
    1. How can we turn off the WLS security in order develop our own application-based security module?
    2. How can we develop a security module that allows us to age users' password and provide them with facilities to change their passwords when these expire?
    At the moment, we are using the default BEA WebLogic login.jsp page and there some configuration in the web.xml for this. I will be grateful if you could advise me on how to turn this default security off so that we can write our own security module.

    hi,
    1.You can write your own realm in 61 which can plugged for your security

    2. once you write your ownrealm.. you can access it through weblogic
