How to hide password in forms config file

Hi
Is there a way to hide the password in the forms config file?
Regards,
Néstor Boscán

Hi,
you cannot. For a future version we are condering password indirection, which is a feature of OC4J. However, until then the option to use is to implement Single Sign-On with Forms as this storeds username and password in OID

    Heyy man, i think, u did not get my problem.
    all i have to do is:
    i have to create a zip file, and we should secure it with password when creating. and whenever the user wants to open that zip file he should provide correct passowrd otherwise he could not read that file. So, we should check for that also.

  • How to deploy custom jar (forms PJC)  file in R12.1.x

    Hi ,
    we need use forms pjc connecting to client pc'com port with ebs form,
    we can deploy with ias standard form server , but EBS 's appsweb.cfg
    was automatically generated by AutoConfig , so i don't know how to config our jar in EBS env.
    i had search document in metalink for serval days , can some help us to solve this problem !
    thanks for any help...
    BR,Nolem

    Hi all, I am confronted by the same problem.
    I have manually added my custom Jar files to the archive=2 section of the appsweb.cfg config file in the $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.2/forms/server and placed the Jar files in the $COMMON_TOP/java/classes/oracle/apps/fnd/jar.
    I know that this is probably not the way to go, as autoconfig will override these settings, but my first priority is getting these jar files to run in Apps Forms without errors. I got as far as that my forms don't error out anymore but not all of them are working as they should. I am also trying to deploy the WebUitl utility in EBS R12. As far as I can tell this should be supported by Oracle as it comes as part of a standard Apps Installation (except for the Jacob.jar) it can be found in: $ORACLE_HOME/forms/webutil directory and the WEBUTIL_CONFIG reference to the webutil.cfg file can be found in the default.env in the same directory as the appsweb.cfg.
    If you want to look at some very good examples of PJC's there is a very good blog: http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/. You can also look at Francois Degrelle's blog on Read/Write files on the client machine without Webutil.
    Nevertheless information on how to deploy and run these PJC's under EBS is scarce. Metalink offers no solutions except very outdated notes.
    I would appreciate to know how to properly deploy these jar files in EBS
    I am also on 12.1.x. Btw there are more threads on this subject on OTN but most are outdated (threadID=1067917, 686329, 4246525) and don't provide the solution for EBS R12.1.x.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • How to hide items on Windows 8 File Explorer Ribbon

    Scenario
    This article describes how to hide items on the file explorer ribbon in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.
    Method
    We can implement it via customizing the permission of the related registry keys.
    Note: Before you make changes to a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you export, or make a backup copy, of the key or subkey.
    Before you make changes to a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you
    export, or make a backup copy, of the key or subkey.
    Step 1:
    Open
    Registry Editor and locate to following registry key under which you can find the corresponding keys of the items on the File Explorer Ribbon.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\
    In the following figure, it shows the Add a network location item on the file explorer ribbon, and the corresponding
    registry key in Registry Editor.
    Step 2:
    Take ownership of the registry key
    Note: You can take ownership
    of a registry key if you are logged on as an administrator or if you have been specifically assigned the permission to take ownership of the registry key by the current owner.
    Right-click on the registry key which you want to take ownership of,
    and then select
    Permissions... option.
    Click on
    Advanced button to grant special permissions in the key.
    At the top to the right of the current
    Owner, click on the Change link.
    Enter
    Administrator in the Enter the object name to select
    box, and then click on Check Names.
    Click on
    OK twice to apply.
    Step 3:
    Change the permission of the registry key.
    On
    Permissions for the key name display dialog, click
    Administrators in the Group or user names window, and then select the
    Allow check box for
    Full Control
    option.
    Click
    Users in the Group or user names window, and then select the
    Deny
    check box for
    Full Control
    option.
    Step 4:
    Click on
    Apply and OK to save the changes and the following figure shows the modified permissions and owner.
    Step 5:
    When you open File Explorer, the item you would like to hide disappears. For your information, the following is an example:
    Item: Add a network location
    Corresponding Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\Windows.AddNetworkLocation
    For advanced users
    You can also deploy script with Set-Acl which is a PowerShell command to take ownership and change permissions
    of the keys. For your information, please refer to the following articles to learn more about this command:

    The reason they gave was it is possible for the file to stay open when done with the file. (not properly closing) As the driver would be accessing the file to retrieve the thumbnail.
    The thing is a driver is nothing more than a program it self. Therefore it is capable of opening and closing a file and placing the thumbnail into the database for that folder. It then would be capable to verify if the thumbnail exists in that database. Since the driver only has to run when explorer is open in that folder's view, it really is not running that often.
    The catch I can see it when both Illustrator and explorer are running at the same time. Which one should close the file? The solution would be a small app that verifies that both programs are running and has control of clean up when both have closed. The driver and Illustrator could also in theory check and see if the other is running, if it is do nothing if not then close the file.
    So it really boils down to having the driver and Illustrator talking to each other.

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks for your information. From the documentation, password indirection applies to data-sources.xml, ra.xml, rmi.xml, jms.xml. My case is that the password is contained inside a Java program. Would you please provide me an example on how to apply password indirection for EJB client Java program? Much thanks.

  • How to save pictures with the config file "Write Key.vi"

    hi all,
    On my front panel I've few controls pictures containing photos (JPG type) . The user can select the photo he wants using the classic file dialog box.
    Usally I use the config files VI's to save the control values from one run to another one. In the config files VIs, I use the polymorphic "write Key.vi" wich accept only booean, I32, U32, path, and string dada type, but no picture !
    I've tried the "flatten to string" fonction (picture --> flatten to string --> writekey.vi) , no broken wire but the conversion is very very too long and to heavy (20Mo a key!).
    another way, would be to write in a xml file, I've also tried but I've always get the 1104 error: No end tag was found for an XML start/end tag pair.
    can someone help me.
    what is the best way for  retrieving controls pictures with photos

    Hi GerdW
    Many thanks for your quick answer. Always happy to get advises from fellow programmers.
    You suggest to use the "path" input of the "write key.vi" (configuration file utilities) to retrieve photos that a user would have selected in a previous run. Could be a good solution in a number of applications but what I would like to do is like in a excel or word file. Once a photo has been embeded in one xls file for ex., I find it back each time i open this xls file, even if the original photo's file has been deleted or if my application runs on another computer.
    xml file looks interesting for that purpose (i mean used as config file). I can easily store in a xml file a labview picture (like a colored rectangle e.g.) but when i try with a photo (wich is a also a picture) labview returns always the error 1104.
    How to fixe this error, or maybe  there is another way to store photos in a config file without passing through xml,
    kind regards.

  • How to apply passwords to existing PDF files?

    My MS-Access app creates about 1000 pdf files.  Each file is required to have a unique password and will be emailed as attachments via a VBA procedure in Outlook 2007.    Certificates are not feasible, despite my objections.  So I am looking at having to manually set the 'Open File' password for each file individually.  The files are created in an Access '97 VBA procedure (by sending the results of an Access Report to the Adobe PDF Printer).  Is there any way with VBA (either Access '97 or Outlook '07) to apply a unique security policy or otherwise set a unique 'Open File'  password for each of the files, either as they are being created and saved - or after the fact?
    I can create an Action in PRO X and manually select all the files and set the passwords.  I can then encrypt and password-protect all the files at once - but they all get the same passwords - ok for 'Permissions', but not for 'Open'.  Can Action fileds be modified from VBA?  Or is there a way to creat an Action that can modify another Action?  For example, if there is an Action named "Apply Pswd" which will apply a predefined common set of passwords to all files selected, can there be an Action, named "Apply Unique Pswd" that will update the 'Open' password field in the "Apply Common Pswd" Action as well as the name of the individual file that is to have that password?  Sort of like passing parameters to a function.  i.e.:
    "Apply Unique Pswd":
    1. Get next .pdf file from directory.
    2. Get next password (whether caluclated or read from a list).
    3. Open the "Apply Common Pswd" Action.
    4. Change the 'Open' password and the name of the file to select (the 'Permissions' password does not change).
    5. Execute the "Apply Common Password" Action - which at this time is only affecting a single file.
    6. Verify the 'Open' password (or bypass the verify step, if possible).
    7. Loop through all files in the directory.
       or
    3.   Don't use Actions - save the .pdf file in such a way that the common 'Permissions' password and the current 'Open' password are applied to the appropriate file.
    3a. Goto 7.
    I have also investigated Secure Envelopes in Outlook, but again, it appeas to be a manual procedure to apply unique passwords.
    I would greatly appreciate any tips, suggestions, snippits, or ideas - or enlightenment that it is just not possible to create .pdf files with passwords in VBA nor to use VBA to set the passwords post-creation.

    I am looking for similar thing, I need to apply a password and permissions to thousands of PDF files & I do not want to open them all manually.
    Did you ever find a solution?

  • How to use env variables in config files?

    i created a folder in /etc/skel called .arch to hold some wallpapers and icons relating to arch. this ended up in a new users folder as it should. well i use lxde and pcmanfm. what i did was go into the /.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf and change the wallpaper and menu icon path to $HOME/.arch/wallpapers/filename but it didn't seem to work. if i actually put /home/user/.arch/wallpaper/filename it works. is there a way around this? so i can default the new wallpapers to the folder i created?
    or should i be putting these in /opt or /usr somewhere?

    Could you please paste here the exact part of the config file? (Edit: Some time ago I encountered a similar issue and in my case removing the quotation marks solved the problem. Try doing the similar: either use quotes, be it " " or ' ', or remove them and see if this helps.)

    So when we have created our coldfusion 9 instance on solaris all the files and settings of the master instance are copied except the jvm.config file.

  • Reloading the Properties form config file

    the doubt is on reloading the properties without restarting the server...
    Earlier, I have a PropertyReader class which loads the properties from config file, here is the process I followed.
    1)Calling the getInstance() from out side, which test the local instance variable exist or not, if it exists, then skip the creating new instance, else create the object by calling the self Constructor. Here is the method
       public static PropertyReader getInstance(String fileName) throws IOException{
            if (instance==null){
                try {
                    instance = new PropertyReader(fileName);
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    throw e;
            return instance;
        }2) In the Constructor, I read the properties from the property file like the following.
        Properties props = new Properties();
        InputStream fileIn = null;
        fileIn = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/" + "ldap.properties");
        props.load(fileIn);In this scenario I can't access the modified properties until I restart the server.
    Now, I came to change the code to reload the properties with the following scenario.
    1) in my getInstance method, I skip checking the instance and just calling new objct every time.
       public static PropertyReader getInstance(String fileName) throws IOException{
            return new PropertyReader(fileName);
        }2) Even after this, I can't access the latest properties, then I change the code in the Constructor like the following .
           URL codebase = getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation();
                String subPath = codebase.getPath().substring(0, codebase.getPath().indexOf("WEB-INF")+16);
                file = new java.io.File(subPath+"ldap.properties");
                fileIn = new FileInputStream(file);
                props.load(fileIn);Here it is, now I'll be able to get the latest properties even without restarting the server.
    So here I got couple of questions.
    1) What if I create new instace everytime, will that cause any trouble in the memory point-of-view? i.e. load trouble?
    2) What is the difference between 2 nd step in each scenario ? I can't get the exact difference.
    Thanks,

    2) What is the difference between 2 nd step in each scenario ? I can't get the exact difference.The first one just gets the properties file from the classpath. The second one is a bizarre hack which might do the same thing, or it might fail in certain circumstances.
