How to set up ApEx as a SSO partner app?

I seem to be stuck in something of an endless loop here.
I'm trying to set up the authentication for an ApEx app to use my Oracle AS SSO. When I start the wizard to create a new authentication scheme I choose "Based on a pre-configured scheme from the gallery". That shows me five choices (open door, ApEx credentials, database credentials, LDAP, and "no authentication"). When I click on the "Information" link at the bottom it displays some text for two more choices which aren't listed above: "Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On (Application Express engine as Partner App)" and "Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On (My application as Partner App)". Those descriptions also say that those choices aren't displayed because "This Application Express site must have already been registered as a partner application with the SSO server."
OK -- no big deal. I'll just register the ApEx site as a partner app. I found this link explaining how to do that: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/sso_partner_app.html
Now, reading that page, I get to this step in the process: "Using the Application Express Application Builder, use the create authentication scheme wizard to create an authentication scheme based on the pre-configured
scheme Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On (Oracle HTML DB Engine as Partner App)."
And back to the top of my loop. The wizard in Apex tells me that I can't see the SSO choice when I'm creating my app's authentication because it's not registered as a partner application, and the instructions which tell me how to register ApEx as a partner application tell me to pick the SSO choice in the ApEx wizard.
Has anyone managed to break out of this Groundhog Day documentation loop?

Well,
There are 5 choices to choose from on the page. In the description of the choices at the bottom of the page there are 7, and the two additional choices talk about having to first have registered the site with SSO. So...I'm interpreting that as meaning that other 2 possible choices would be displayed if the site is registered with SSO. That, plus the fact that the page which describes how to add the site to SSO seems to think that the SSO choices are displayed in the wizard.
So, no, there's no "exact launguage" that says what the reason is for the choices not being displayed. Can you point me to some exact language that tells me how to get those choices displayed?

How to set Night mode in iBooks (ver 3.1) for iPad Mini?

It's not available within the iBooks app for PDFs, the closest you can get is to the Invert Colours accessibility option (though pictures will appear negative) - you can set Settings > General > Accessbility > Triple-Click Home to 'Invert Colours', which means that you can then use a triple-click of the home button to go to white text on a black background.

Logout URL for 9iAS SSO Partner App

Hi,
I've successfully set up an HTMLDB application as a Single Sign On partner APP. The login works perfectly, except I'm a little confused about the logout URL. Currently it is set to the default in the Authentication scheme, but it doesn't work too well - I get errors if I navigate back to the single sign on page from the default HTMLDB logout page. What I want it to do is to de-authenticate then automatically go back to the SSO login page. What do I change my logout URL to?
(curently it is wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.logout?p_this_flow=&APP_ID.&p_next_flow_page_sess=4155:PUBLIC_PAGE)
Thanks,
Steve

Steve - Here's a logout URL that unsets the app's
session cookie first, then goes to Single Sign-off,
then back to a public page in the app:
https://host:port/pls/DAD/wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.log
out_then_go_to_url?p_args=&APP_ID.:https://login.yourl
ogin.com/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_logout?p
doneurl=https://host:port/pls/DAD/f?p=&APP_ID.:PUBLI
C_PAGE
ScottI am quite new to Oracle Apex.
I have just looked read through your posts, because I am having a similiar problem. I simply want to be able to click the logout link on my application and be able to logout of single sign on.
I have tried your URL and I am sure it is accurate but I am unable to get it to work. I think the main problem I have is that I cant get to the logout URL on the single sign on page : http://host:port/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_logout
Please could you advise ?
Thanks

How to set up APEX internal administration

Hello,
      I think the default username is admin and i try to set up the password, however, i got the error message:
      Enter a password for the ADMIN
      ERROR:
      ORA-01435: user does not exist
Thanks,

Hi,
I think you mix up APEX and database users.
Reset APEX admin user password, use apxchpwd.sql script from APEX install files

APEX as Partner APP in SSO - Post Authentication Process

I am trying to get APEX to work as Partner APP with SSO. It's almost working but a vitol piece doesn't cooperate.
In my old authentication scheme (built-apex) I have a Post-Authentication Process (see below) that needs to set my page 0 items. When I put this into my new authentication scheme for SSO and try to log-in, I get a blank screen.
If i take it out, my screen displays fine, but my page 0 items are not set with the correct values. What am I missing?
DECLARE CURSOR get_user_defaults IS
select B.fk_school, B.year, B.pk_id,
nvl(A.user_type,'N') user_type
from "#OWNER#".sis_user_roles B, "#OWNER#".sis_user A
where A.user_name = :APP_USER and
B.fk_sis_user = A.pk_id
order by decode(B.default_role,'Y',1,2);
BEGIN
FOR user_defaults_loop in get_user_defaults LOOP
:P0_LOGIN_SCHOOL := user_defaults_loop.fk_school;
:P0_LOGIN_SCHOOL_YEAR := user_defaults_loop.year;
:P0_LOGIN_ROLE := user_defaults_loop.pk_id;
:P0_USER_TYPE := user_defaults_loop.user_type;
EXIT;
END LOOP;
END;

not sure what the problem is. Are you sure that :app_user is set already?
However it looks as if you get an error (might result in blank screen) during your process.
btw: the pL/sqkl block could be rewritten into a single sql select without any loop.
BEGIN
SELECT fk_school, year, pk_id, user_type
INTO :P0_LOGIN_SCHOOL, :P0_LOGIN_SCHOOL_YEAR, :P0_LOGIN_ROLE, :P0_USER_TYPE
FROM (
    select B.fk_school, B.year, B.pk_id,
    nvl(A.user_type,'N') user_type, rownum rn
    from "#OWNER#".sis_user_roles B
        , "#OWNER#".sis_user A
    where A.user_name = :APP_USER
    and B.fk_sis_user = A.pk_id
    order by decode(B.default_role,'Y',1,2)
where rn <= 1
exception
when no_data_found then
     raise_application_error(-20001,'User "'|| :APP_USER ||'" not found!');
END;

How to set event trace in 10g

Hi,
How to set event in oracle 10g, its 11i apps.
Support says that we have to set
To help confirm the analysis if related to\bug can you put in an errorstack forever
on 1426 and 6502.
eg: event="1426 trace name errorstack forever, level 3"
event="6502 trace name errorstack forever, level 3"
Also immediately after the error see if you can run below statement:"
Do i need set this event parameters in init.SID.ora, Please let me know

Danny,
It depends on the level of trace you want to enable. Also, please note you can set the same at the session level, so it depends on what issue you have. If this is a database generic issue, then set it in the init.ora file and bounce the database. If it is a client/session issue, set it at the session level -- See Note: 218105.1
Since the support suggested something specific, then just follow their suggestion.

HOW TO SET UP PARTNER APPLICATION TO USE SSO OUTSIDE OF PORTAL

If anyone knows how Portal switches context to run as the db user mapped to the lightweight schema and how it knows the db schema password please let me know.
Should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me on 07775 896738.
From document Oracle Portal Security Overview on PortalStudio.oracle.com:
In Single Sign On mode (EnableSSO=Yes in the DAD), mod_plsql determines the name of the light-weight user and mapped database schema by calling
WPG_SESSION_PRIVATE.GET_LW_USER and WPG_SESSION_PRIVATE.GET_DB_USER respectively.
** These calls are done using the Portal Schema (PORTAL30) and Portal schema password **
mod_plsql then executes the procedure in the requested URL by using the N-Tier Authentication feature to connect to the database as the user returned from
WPG_SESSION_PRIVATE.GET_DB_USER. ..... Note that N-Tier Authentication requires all schemas to be used for Portal user mappings to be granted 'connect
through' privleges to the Portal schema (PORTAL30).
The WWCTX packages are also used.
So this is how it works with standard Portal
- the document states that the WPG_SESSION_PRIVATE package is only accessible to the Portal schema
- but I checked and it is also available to PORTAL30_SSO
SQL> desc WPG_SESSION_PRIVATE
PROCEDURE CREATE_SESSION
Argument Name Type In/Out Default?
P_COOKIE_NAME VARCHAR2 IN
FUNCTION GET_DB_USER RETURNS VARCHAR2
FUNCTION GET_LW_USER RETURNS VARCHAR2
PROCEDURE GET_SESSION_INFO
Argument Name Type In/Out Default?
NUM_PARAMS NUMBER OUT
PARAM_NAMES TABLE OF VARCHAR2(32000) OUT
PARAM_VALUES TABLE OF VARCHAR2(32000) OUT
PROCEDURE RESET_SESSION
Argument Name Type In/Out Default?
P_COOKIE_NAME VARCHAR2 IN
In my case only the Login Server (PORTAL30_SSO) is going to be used/installed
- the SAMPLE_SSO_PAPP application will only work if the DAD used to access is it set to use Basic authentication, i.e. the actual integration with the Login Server
is done in the sample application code calls, stored in the database
- when a DAD has enableSSO=yes it automatically accesses Portal (PORTAL30) packages to implement N-Tier authentication
I'm currently testing:
1. Configuring the SAMPLE_SSO_PAPP sample as documented with a DAD with Basic authentication
2. Amending the ssoapp procedure to set context to another (db) user on successful authentication:
wwctx_api.set_context (
p_user_name => 'SCOTT',
p_password => 'TIGER' );
3. If this works then set_context with get_lw_user instead
I have now amended the ssoapp procedure as follows to print out
1. The userid entered when the login box is presented
2. The Database user which the Portal Lightweight user is mapped to
3. The Lightweight user Portal has used for authentication
Amendments to papp.pkb:
(ssoapp procedure, declare db_user_info and lw_user_info as VARCHAR2 in declare section)
htp.p('Congratulations! It is working!<br>');
db_user_info := wwctx_api.get_db_user;
lw_user_info := wwctx_api.get_user;
htp.p('User Information:' || l_user_info || '<br>');
htp.p('DB User Information:' || db_user_info || '<br>');
htp.p('LW User Information:' || lw_user_info || '<br>');
The following shows the interesting results from my testing:
- if the user owning the sample_sso_papp package is PORTAL30_SSO then the call to wwctx_api.get_db_user succeeds
- if the user owning the sample_sso_papp package is a non-portal schema e.g. SSOAPP below the call to wwctx_api.get_db_user generates a User Defined exception
Steps to test:
Created new schema SSOAPP on the database
- edited it in Portal and checked the use this schema for Portal users checkbox
- created new Lightweight user SSO_LW in Portal, mapped it to SSOAPP schema
- created new Lightweight user SSO_SCOTT in Portal, mapped to SCOTT schema
- loadjava -user ssoapp/ssoapp@portal30 SSOHash.class
- sqlplus portal30/portal30@portal30
@provsyns ssoapp
- sqlplus ssoapp/ssoapp@portal30
@loadsdk.sql
@loadpapp.sql
Created DAD with basic authentication SAMPLE_SSO_PAPP
- username: ssoapp
- default home page: sample_sso_papp.ssoapp
Registered the Sample SSO Partner Application with the Login Server and ran regapp.sql
Commented out the calls to get_db_user in papp.pkb to avoid exception
- called http://<server>/pls/sample_sso_papp
- logged on as SSO_LW/sso_lw
- got output:
Congratulations! It is working!
User Information: SSO_LW
LW User Information: PUBLIC
So the Portal lightweight user is not returned as SSO_LW
if anyone knows why the Lightweight User in my test is returned as PUBLIC not SSO_LW
Best Regards

How to Set Up SSO Between IBM WebSphere and SAP EP Using JAAS

Hi
I have read the article on SDN called "How to Set Up SSO Between IBM WebSphere and SAP EP Using JAAS", which is also the name of my posting.

How to set Shortcut keys for button in Apex

Hi
Could anyone help me on how to set shortcut keys for buttons in Apex.
I need to use say ALT + S to submit the page.
The following thread pertaining to HTML DB refered to use ACCESS key. but that couldnt work in my case.
Re: operation of the app. with the keyboard
Any pointers on achieving this would be helpful.
Thanks
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
I’m afraid you must do it using javascript key listener. You can’t use action() on template based buttons because they are actually not HTML buttons but images with hyperlink.
Key listener checks which key has been pressed down and invoke some JS function. For example, write this code in page header:
<script>
document.onkeydown=keyCheck;
function keyCheck(e){
     var KeyId = (window.event) ? event.keyCode : e.keyCode;
     switch(KeyId){
          case 113:
               doSubmit('SAVE');
               break;
          case 118:
               alert('Hello');
               break;
</script>
This script will submit page with request 'SAVE' if you press F2 or will show alert message if you press F7. Modify it to your issue.

Przemek

How to set pl/sql function as background job in apex?

Hi,
I wrote a function which returns boolean value based on result.This function updates a table everyday.How to set this as a background job?or do I need to use dbms_job only?
Thanks,

No, you can use APEX_PLSQL_JOB.
Example:
DECLARE
l_sql VARCHAR2(4000);
l_job NUMBER;
BEGIN
l_sql := 'BEGIN MY_PACKAGE.MY_PROCESS; END;';
l_job := APEX_PLSQL_JOB.SUBMIT_PROCESS(
p_sql => l_sql,
p_status => 'Background process submitted');
--store l_job for later reference
