How to Set username in ADF from JAAS

Greetings :
I have an application that is mostly working. The problem is this. A user logs in using a JAAS module I wrote. As the principal I set their username. That works, I can display it on a jsp page or put it in session just fine. The problem is that when this user creates a new record there is a owner field that I want to default to this username. For example, I have a table mapped to adf data controls. Somewhere in the entity object (or wherever you think if you tell me differently) I would like to do something like :
setOwner(request.getUserPrincipal().getName());
the problem is, that I don't have the request object inside the create for example (obviously so and it most certaily shouldn't be accessible there).
Can anyone tell me the best way to do this sort of thing?
Thanks
Troy

You can look in help under:
Enabling a Database Audit Trail in an Entity Object Definition
This will give you the option to save created by, created date, modified by and modified date with the record. The username will be prefixed by the realm.
You can get the username inside an application module via:
String userId = getUserPrincipalName();

How to set an Application Item from PL/SQL

I am attempting to set an Application Item
After login to my app, I want to retrieve a row from my SETTINGS table and populate some Application Items with the settings information so that I can
display some of that settings information on every page.
Just to start, I created one Application Item named F106_YEAR
I then created a Shared Components Application Process which executes on New Session: After Authentication
I created this process as an Anynomous PL/SQL block.
declare
aucyr varchar(4);
begin
select year into auctyr
from settings;
:F106_YEAR := aucyr;
end;
I've tried a couple of other Syntax tricks attempting to reference the Application Item F106_YEAR from within PL/SQL (like V('F106_YEAR') but nothing seems to be working.
I'm sure that I am missing something simple. Can someone tell me how to set an Application Item from PL/SQL?
Thanks in advance.

I'm still doing something wrong because this is not working for me.
I've tried both of the following versions as an Application Process set to run on New Session after Authentication:
declare
auction_year varchar(4);
begin
select year into auction_year
from PBUUC.SETTINGS where rownum < 2;
:F106_AUCTION_YEAR:=auction_year;
end;
and I also tried:
declare
auction_year varchar(4);
begin
select year into auction_year
from PBUUC.SETTINGS where rownum < 2;
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE (p_name, p_value);
end;
F106_YEAR is a global Item (shared components).
The select statement works just fine in SQL*PLUS so I know that it is correct.
If I run the debugger and log into the application, here is the output. Shouldn't I see my Application Process get called if it is set to run on New Session after Validation?

ERPI: how to set up drill through from Planning to EBS

Hi,
When you guys know how to set up drill through from Planning to EBS through ERPI ??
I encountered the following message when I tried to drill :
no drill through reports found at this location
I think I didn't set up the drill through functionality properly.
Regards,
Eddy

Can you check the log file for any errors? Also, check if the drill regions are created in the application. You can navigate to process details in ERPI and select the show log link for the corresponding process id. That should indicate if the drill regions were created on the target.
Thanks,
Bala

How to set username and password when using Proxy class for SOCKS5?

Hi all,
I use the proxy class for SOCKS5, so need to set username and password, I don't find where can I set the value. whether the API support it.
Thanks in advance!

System.getProperties().put("proxySet", "true");That does nothing. Remove.
System.getProperties().put("proxyHost", getProxyHost());
System.getProperties().put("proxyPort", getProxyPort());You should be setting socks.proxyHost and socks.proxyPort here.
System.setProperty("java.net.socks.username", getSOCKSUsername());
System.setProperty("java.net.socks.password", getSOCKSPassword());
Authenticator.setDefault(new ProxyAuth(getSOCKSUsername(), getSOCKSPassword()));You either need the first two lines or the third, not both. See the last link posted above.
1. After I set the value, I connect internet by proxy, how the proxy server knows the values?Because Java tells it during the SOCKS handshake.
2. In my app, I just set the values in the system properties, then JVM does remaining work? Remaining work is not concerned?Should be OK unless you have to connect to a different SOCKS proxy from the same JVM, but that kind of thing is problematic anyway due to the curious Authenticator design which is set globally, not per connection as you might expect.

How to set the HOME link from two frame jsp page to no frame main page?

Hi all,
i have one main jsp page named as main.jsp.
From the main.jsp, i can click the button and link to the twoFrame.jsp.
This twoFrame.jsp have another two different jsp inside the frame called Aframe.jsp and Bframe.jsp.
i try to put HOME in the Aframe.jsp(one of the page inside twoFrame.jsp) but only the Aframe.jsp manage to link to main.jsp but the Bframe still there.
My question is: How to set the HOME link button from this twoFrame.jsp to the main.jsp? what i want is from twoFrame.jsp(two frame) to main.jsp(no frame).
rgds,
Bryan523

No offense, but this is basic HTML. You shuold look into learning HTML before getting too deep into JSP. Try this: http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp
But as a more specific answer, you have to set a target for the link to the _parent of your frame:
<a href="main.jsp" target="_parent">Home</a>

How to set userName from security context to Criteria in portlet

Hi,
From the portal application I have to get the logged in user and use the same user to filter the records in Portlet. I have to execute a view Criteria in portlet as a default method activity which takes logged in user as a input param.
Is this achievable? Please let me know.
Thanks in Advance
Morgan.
Edited by: Morgan Freeman on Aug 24, 2011 1:22 AM

I have been doing some testing and there seems to be an issue with passing username to the portlet.
Normally things like security.userName or portletrequest.getRemoteUser() should all work and they do work in webcenter PS2 but since JSR 286 this does not seem to work anymore.... ALthough the documentation of oracle states that is works but it doesn't :)
A working workaround is to create a public render parameter (portlet parameter) and pass the username to that.
I'll see if there is a configuration that we need to make in order for this to work.

How to set username and password before redirecting to a RESTful webservice

I am a .Net developer who has developed a webservice used by my ColdFusion colleagues. They are using ColdFusion 9 but I'm not sure if they have incorporated any of the newer features of ColdFusion in their apps. Here is a snippet of how they have been invoking the webmethods:
<cfscript>
                     ws = CreateObject("webservice", "#qTrim.webServiceName#");
                     ws.setUsername("#qTrim.trimAcct#");
                     ws.setPassword("#qTrim.trimpwd#");
                     wsString=ws.UploadFileCF("#qTrim.webserviceurl#","#objBinaryData#", "#qFiles.Filename#", "Document", "#MetaData#");
            </cfscript>
As I understand things, the .setUsername and .setPassword correspond to the Windows credentials the CF Admin set when the URL of the .Net webservice was "registered" and given its "name" (for the CreateObject statement above). I have 4 webmethods that are all invoked in this manner and this SOAP protocol works adequately for us. Please note that this ColdFusion web app authenticates anonymous remote internet users by prompting for a username and password and compares them to an application database (i.e. Microsoft calls this "forms authentication"). Because only a few Windows domain accounts are authorized to call this .Net webservice, the above code always uses the same username/password constants and it all works.
My question involves the newest webmethod added to the .Net webservice. It requires that callers must invoke it as a RESTful service which means it must be invoked by its URL. Here is a snippet of C# code that invokes it from an ASP.NET webclient:
            string r = txtRecordNumber.Text;
            string baseurl = "http://localhost/sdkTrimFileServiceASMX/FileService.asmx/DownloadFileCF?";
            StringBuilder url = new StringBuilder(baseurl);
            url.Append("trimURL="); url.Append(txtFakeURLParm.Text);
            url.Append("&");
            url.Append("TrimRecordNumber="); url.Append(txtRecordNumber.Text);
            Response.Redirect(url.ToString());
I assume a ColdFusion script could easily build a full URL as above with appended querystring parameters and redirect. Is there some way for the CF code redirecting to a RESTful webservice (by way of its URL) to set the Username and Password to this Windows account mentioned above? When the DownloadFileCF webmethod is hit it must be with the credentials of this special Windows domain account. Can that be set by ColdFusion someway to mimic the result of the SOAP technique (the first snippet above).
I hope my question is clear and someone can help me make suggestions to my ColdFusion colleagues. Thanks.

Can you clarify what you mean by "establish a different Windows identity"? Usually passing identity to a web site or service means adding something to the request's HTTP headers. This could be a cookie in the case of .NET forms authentication or the "Authorization" header in the case of basic authentication.
The SOAP web service invocation code you posted does use basic authentication, according to the CF docs "ColdFusion inserts the user name/password string in the authorization request header as a base64 binary encoded string, with a colon separating the user name and password. This method of passing the user name/password is compatible with the HTTP basic authentication mechanism used by web servers."
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec13a13 -7fe0.html
If you need to mimic the SOAP techinque you should have basic authentication enabled for your REST service endpoints.
If your authentication method is different then CF developers will need to add the appropriate HTTP headers to their service calls. Note that calling a REST service from CF would probably be accomplished using the CFHTTP tag if the service is designed to be consumed by the CF server.

How to set password for photos from home screen? Please help.

Hi,
Can anyone pls help to set password for my Iphone 4s.
My friends/family often use my phone for gaming purpose. I don't want them to see my photos/gallery/videos.
How can I protect my personal things from others?
Thnx.
Rgds.

There is no way to set a password for photos. You could upload all of your photos to something like DropBox, then sign out of the app. Or, you could only let people you trust to respect your privacy touch your phone.
