How to Hide userid and password in the address bar

Hello Dears
I am using OAS 10g and calling a form from my web portal designed in ASP.Net. I pass userid and password to OAS as parameters and form is accessed but the problem is that userid and password are displayed in the address bar. How can I hide this info to secure my application.
Note: This is a multi-user environment.
Please guide. thanks

On your reports server in the reports\conf directory there is a file called cgicmd.dat
This file allows you to create a key that will be replaced with the entry from this file. You can put your userid and password parameters in here and thus remove them from the address line.
Key value entries look like this in the file:
examplekey: userid="scott/tiger@myoracleinstance" %*
your url would then look like this:
http://myreportsserver/servlet/rwservlet?examplekey&report=myreport.rdf&destype=cache

How do pass the UserID and Password in the SOAP header for web services

I am encountering issues trying to pass the userid and password in the SOAP header when consuming a 3rd party web service. Rostewitz posted something similiar but I don't know how to type iv_xml. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
jpina

It helps to post a link to a thread when you refer to it. If you are trying to implement that solution though, you can look at the parameter of the corresponding method being called. The parameter has type 'SIMPLE' which means that it is compatible with all of the predefined elementary ABAP types. In this case, you should use 'STRING'.

How to pass username and password with the portal url

i want to access portal from my web site. i have created username and password fields in my web page. when submited , my portal page should open. so how to pass username and password with the portal url.

This is not straightforward; but it is doable.
First tell us about your portal version; portal 10.1.4 has a slightly different method of doing it and the pre-10g portals were completely different animals.
And if you are in AS Rel 2, then the most important document for you would probably be the following:
[Creating Deployment Specific Pages| http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/idmanage.1012/b14078/custom.htm#i1015535]
You might want to use it in conjunction with some metalink notes about your portal version and such a login page.
hope that helps!

How can I get Firefox to include the http when copying and pasting from the address bar?

I know you can use "browser.urlbar.trimURLs" in about:config to re-enable the display of "http://" on URLs in the address bar, but I think there's an actual bug with hiding them in the address bar that should be corrected:
When I click and drag in the address bar to select part of an address, including the beginning of the address, then use CTRL+C to copy it, and CTRL+V to paste it into something else, the pasted URL does not include "http://"; this is often inconvenient and will break in certain forms and so on.
In Chrome--where I guess the http-hiding feature was copied from--if you click and drag to select part of the URL including the beginning, then copy, when you paste, the "http://," hidden in their address bar, *is* included. That's how it *should* work. Firefox's implementation is incomplete and frustrating.

This is a known problem and should be fixed in Firefox 8.<br>
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668019<br>

I tried editing my first post but couldn't get there...
If you can open Safari go to the top of your screen, click Safari / Preferences then select the General stab. You can type in the web address for your Home page there.

Whenever I use something which uses Java (for example, an online game) and then click the address bar, it seems that the address bar is disabled.

Hide userid and password

How to make URL which should not show userid and password details for Forms and Reports.
I am using Forms 10g.

Hi!
For running forms on the web without submit the username/password,
just create a config entry in your formsweb.cfg for your application
and write there a parameter userid=user/password@db.
In the browser then just call http://yourpc:8889/forms/frmservlet?config=your_configFor Reports may you use the run_report_object build-in.

How to Store UserID and Password on Server

Hi,
I m using Applet-Servlet Communication. When my applet calls Servlet it makes database connection and retruns Object to Applet. Can ne body pls. tell me instead of hardcoding database userid and password in servlet, what is a most convinient way to a pass these parameters to servlet. Properties files are one of the way, but is it secure and suaitable on the Web? Is there ne other funda for this?
Thanx in advance
Sandeep

No, I don't think the use of properties file is a suitable
approach.
You can use JDBC-realm .Accept the username & password from user,pass these values to the servlet and then validate this against the names stored in the database.

UserId & Password in the address bar of the browser

The address bar of the web browser running a form shows the user id and the password? How to hide them?

If you don't specify a username and password on the URL, the user has to provide one. This one is not shown in the address bar. E.g. you can start a form like this:
http://server:8888/forms90/f90servlet?form=logon.fmx
and the user will be prompted for a username and password.
You can also call the form like this to automatically log in:
http://server:8888/forms90/f90servlet?form=logon.fmx&userid=un/pw@db
but the un/pw are shown in the address bar.

How do I move my TABS below the address bar WITHOUT having to install an add on ?? may have to goto another browser now!

Firefox just updated and now my TABS are above the address bar...
I do not wish to add another add on, it should be basic functionality to do this (as in previous versions)
The vast population of users also want this according to the forums.
How do I do this without having to resort to a "FIX" or an add on as this would add to memory usage.. ??
Why have you removed this functionality?

So if I dont want to install an add you suggest installing an add on???
PS, I dont want to install an addon!!

How do I disable search suggestions in the Address Bar when I start to type?

As of the latest version, typing in the address bar suggests Google search terms in addition to suggestions from history. How can I change it to the previous mode of only suggesting from my history?
Additionally, this update seems to have removed the address bar autofilling the top suggestion as I type. How can I get this feature back as well?
Thanks in advance.

You can check the browser.urlbar.autoFill pref(s) on the <b>about:config</b> page.

How do I turn off searching from the address bar. Setting keyword.enabled to false is not working.

I never want to search from the address bar. I've been able to turn off this horrible annoying feature in the past by setting "keyword.enabled" to false but this no longer seems to work. Is there any way to fix this so that searching from the address bar never happens with any search engine?

If you set keyword.enabled to false, then what Firefox normally does is check whether your address bar entry is a valid server name (first DNS lookup) and, if not, it will try fixup (e.g., www.+''what you typed''+.com) (second DNS lookup).
If you get search results, particularly if you get results from some site other than your preferred search engine, there are two possible explanations:
(1) DNS provider hijack.
There are some service providers that do not answer the DNS lookups honestly and instead will divert you to their own page of search results. In that situation, there sometimes is a link on the page to opt out, either right there, or behind an explanation (why do I get this page?) or a settings link. You may have to look around. Or if your service provider won't let you opt out, you might need to switch to using OpenDNS or Google Public DNS.
You probably should also check your connection setting it case that has been modified:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
Try "No proxy" here to see whether that helps.
(2) Bad add-on.
Some extensions will divert honest DNS misses to their preferred search site. Here's what I suggest for cleaning out bad add-ons:
(A) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Add/Remove Programs. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(B) Then, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
(C) Search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. Note that the tools are free and take considerable time to run. If they seem to finish quickly and then ask for payment, you might have a Fake AV infection. Please use the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
