Integrating Application Express with SSO

Hi,
What's the difference between integrating Apex with SSO as a partner application, and integrating it as an external application. Are there any benefits / drawbacks to either? and in what situation would you use one or the other?
Thanks,
Lee

Hi, I have one more question related to this.
We are currently considering implementing the following:
We are designing a system where the majority of users will have read only access to data. The read only users will NOT have to sign into the system in order to use the system at this privilege level. Other users will have to sign in and once they have done so will then be able to edit and access other functions of the system that are not available to regular read only users. Login links will be available on a number of different screens and once logged in they will be returned to the screen from which they logged in.
We understand that we can use SSO or even Apex's own authentication to acheive this.
There is also another system built using portal, forms and SSO. Once a user signs into the portal there is a main menu where various links to different applications are available/hidden depending on the OID groups that the user is a part of.
Ideally we want to be able to provide a link from the portal system to the apex system from the portal main menu. If a user is signed into the portal then they should be able to enter the apex system without the requirement to sign in again, assuming that they have edit privileges for the apex system. However if the user is signed into the portal but they do not have edit privileges we want to be able to display the apex system in read only mode as we would for anybody else who is not an edit user complete with login links.
Would this be possible using SSO bearing in mind that we do not want to have to create users for the read only users?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lee

Apex application registered with sso as partner application

We have 1 apex app registered with sso and working properly.
I just registered a new apex application with sso. when i authenticate through sso, it directs me to the originally registered application.
I went in through the portal administrator app and verified my settings all pointed to the new application. I verified that my dad is set up correctly.
Any ideas?

i did register and obtain the keys through portal admin.
to ensure i used the proper keys (i guess there is a possibility i used the keys from db1 registration) i re-ran regapp with the right keys but recieved the following output:

We are not able to figure out why this is happenig. We followed all the steps as per metalink document 262686.1, but it also was of no use.
Has anyone solved this problem, pls let us know the fix?
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
Alright, I solved the problem. It seems like the OID is very very very picky with the formsweb.cfg syntax. Especially with the quotes: don't use them!
For example, I had set the oid_formsid & formsid_group_dn values between double-quotes. Removing them fixed the error.
Here's an RCS output from the modifications.

Developing for a Oracle Application Server with SSO

Hello there,
I'm developing an application (Java) that will be deployed as a partner application within an Oracle Application Server 10g at my client. This Oracle instance has a SSO already configured, and my app will use this Identity Manager (consuming the cookie). The problem is that at my company we don't have a SSO system configured, not even an Oracle Application Server, just a simple Oracle XE 10g to hold data. So I'm wondering how can I do to develop my application and test it.
I was looking forward to install an OAS and configure an SSO to validate my implementation, but the download link provided by Oracle is broken (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/index.html). Another alternative that I thought of was to install an OC4J and configure a Java SSO to simulate the behavior of OSSO, and make my app the cookie set by it. But OC4J supports only til Servlet 2.4 and my app is using 2.5...
And to complete, I cannot access my client's environment. I'm supposed to write a Deploying document telling him how to deploy my app and then try to access it through Internet.
Does anyone have an idea of how can I develop and test my app in my company's environment?
Thanks in advance,
Bruno Krebs.

SSO Authentication for more than one application in Application Express

Hello,
I recently got a single application working with SSO integration for Application Express 2.2.
Now I would like to create multiple applications within the same workspace, which all use SSO authentication. I tried both copying the working one from the other application and creating a new SSO authentication scheme from scratch into the new aplication.
I cant seem to make the new application work with SSO authentication. Do I have to go through all of the same steps I went through to get it working with the first application?
Thanks
-sean

Ok, my bad.
After shutting down my web browser and reopening it, the SSO integration now works for both the old and new applications. Not sure what was cached, but it was bypassing the sso check.

Do you use Oracle Application Express (APEX) with EBS?

I am conducting a short survey to determine how you integrate Oracle Application Express with eBusiness Suite. Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=54654:1:0
{We will not share information with anyone except with your explicit permission}
We believe that there are a large number of eBusiness Suite customers that are using Application Express in various ways so we are trying to quantify that and get some further information.
This is all part of a broader effort we are currently undertaking working closely with various people from the eBusiness Suite Development Team.
This survey is very important to us so please take the time to complete the survey if you use Application Express with eBusiness Suite - It is only 1 page long.
Thanks,
David

Thanks for your reply.
I did some more investigation to check what could cause this to happene, whereby the report toatal is not displayed at all for few selected paramters.
What i could analyse was that the records returned were more than 50 (Standard Setting) , which however could not fit into the page, along with that the pagination scheme was not selected. I had to make 2 changes to the Layout of the report
Pagination Scheme : Row Ranges X to Y(with Next and Previous Links)
Number of Rows : 500
This worked for me as the displayed could not be seen on the next page with Previous and next links on the report output.
Thanks,
Dips

In hopes that someone can give me some guidance, I've duplicated the issue on my apex.oracle.com workspace.
Workspace: NBPERP
Username: GUEST
Password: 12summer3
Application: 464. Report Demo
Page 1 - a drop down list with submit will show that a query, when run, will return values.
Shared Component/Report Layout: LAYOUT TESTER - a simple RTF with some unique text that mimics the table shown on page 1.
Shared Component/Report Query: TEST REPORT - the same query that is being executed on Page 1. If I click into the query and set the bind variable to "Indy" (no quotes) and then Apply Changes, I can download an XML file with the correct data. If I think click "Test Report", I get a "no data found" (unexpected condition #1). If I click back into the query and set the bind variable, click "Test Report", again, I get a "no data found" message (unexpected condition #2).
Any help/direction on this problem would be much appreciated.

Importing components to Application Express

When trying to import a component export into Application Express with same app Id and workspace I have problems when I get to the report layouts and report queries.
I get this for some, not all of the report layouts:
Component Export: REPORT LAYOUT 30423319886223781
...report layouts
WWV_FLOW_API.ERR_REPORT_LAYOUT_CREATE ORA-00001: unique constraint
(APEX_030200.WWV_FLOW_REPORT_LAYOUTS_IDX2) violated
but the import continues until it gets to the report queries, I get through 5 and then this:
Component Export: SHARED QUERY 25478002913036435
...shared queries
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00001: unique constraint (APEX_030200.WWV_FLOW_STORED_QUERIES_UK1) violated
ORA-06512: at "APEX_030200.WWV_FLOW_API", line 6261
ORA-06512: at line 32
then it stops and quits...
Why am I getting this on only certain report layouts and queries??

Hi,
I think you are posting to wrong forum. Virtualization Discussion Forum is here.
Oracle VM Server for x86
Anyway,
There is by default obe workspace. User and password for that workspace is obe
If you need login to APEX administration, then use apxchpwd.sql from oracle user home folder to reset INTERNAL workspace ADMIN user password.

Application Express and Content DB

Hello friends
I am trying to develop an application prototype with the following need
a. A set of data fields where by somebody can put a document into the content DB along with the set of data. The content DB needs to store different types of documents, - PDF, Excel, Word etc.
b. Be able to include rights,security management and records management
c. Have Menu based access to the data
I would like to use the Application Express for my front end development and Content DB as the back end data store. All of this in the Windows environment and on the Web.
I would much rather not use BPEL as I think it will complicate the development process for me and I do not have inhouse expertise on Java.
I have seen examples on Content DB where BPEL has been used to write to Content DB, but dont see any place which mentions that you could use Application Express with the Content DB.
Can any one who had done any such work help
Thank you very much. I appreciate your giving advice on the matter

Laxmi,
You should note in your posts if you have posted the same question to another forum.
I tried to answer some of your questions in regards to Application Express in that forum.

Can Oracle Application Express (APEX) be integrated with ADF applications?

Hi All,
Oracle Application Express (APEX) works on various supported databases. Can this tool be integrated with ADF for report publishing, in adf some of my result is coming from Business Components , so can these things be related to each other?
Please provide a suitable forum to ask this question if this question doesn't fir in ambit of this forum.
Thanks in advance.

There are a couple of things you can do - a lot depends on what your application needs. Since you ask this in the JDeveloper forum, I'm going to address getting to ApEx from ADF, not to ADF from ApEx - but some of the same possibilities apply.
Easiest thing to do is to jump into the ApEx application with a af:goLink or af:goCommand referencing the needed page's URL. By setting the target, you can control whether it opens in a new window or the same window. I'm not currently using ApEx, but I have a few reports written as PL/SQL Server Pages that I call exactly this way.
You can also open the ApEx pages in an af:inlineFrame - and it will look like it is inside your ADF application - but use inline frames with a little caution - they don't work perfectly in all browsers, notably Mobile Safari.
ApEx can't look inside your ADF BC objects, but of course, if your two applications are using the same database, you can communicate between them within the database. One possibility to look at is Advanced Queuing.
Some ApEx functionality can be executed by executing the underlying PL/SQL procedures - do a search in this forum for how to call PL/SQL from an ADF BC Application Module.

Register application with SSO

Hi all
I have a APEX install which I have succesfully registered with SSO as a partner application (I have registered APEX/HTMLDB itself). On this machine we host a number of applications which can be accessed as http://myserver.mydomain.com/pls/htmldb/f?p=APP_NAME1 (and so on to APP_NAME_n).
The business owner of one of these applications wants to have an application-specific URL instead of the generic type URL (eg, http://my-new-app.mydomain.com/....), and to keep the new alias in the browser URL. However, I am sure that this will require me to register the application with SSO as the SSO server won't recognise the new URL.
I have searched the forum and not found any reference to having the entire HTMLDB engine registered as a partner app, and registering individual apps with SSO at the same time. Perhaps, this is so trivial and straightfoward that no-one has come across any problems with this. But I wonder if there are any "gotchas" in having this kind of set up before I actually start on it.
regards
Gerard

Gerard - That should work as that was the intended purpose of having the two "flavors" of SSO partner app integration - so that a workspace schema could have a local copy of the SSO SDK and could use it independently of the Application Express installation's copy. Do let us know how it goes, especially if it works.

APEX 3.2 Associating application with SSO login page.

Hi
My requirement is to replace my login page of APEX3.2 application with an SSO login page. Also, the application uses some tables with some history columns like: "Last Updated by", "Created by", "Last Update Time", etc... While create/edit of any table, I want these columns to be automatically populated according to the credentials used in SSO login page to that application. Please help.
The link given on this forum (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/sso_partner_app.html) for the purpose seems to be obsolete i.e. for previous versions of APEX.
Thanks
Bhavesh

Bhavesh,
That how-to explains all the steps you need to set up SSO with Application Express.
As far as the audit columns, just create triggers on your tables. Referenced v('APP_USER') to get the authenticated username.

Problem with sso for asp applications

Hi,
i am using the web app integrator to integrate asp application with SSO, i am getting permission denied some times, the permission denied is a small html file on asp server side when userid is null.
I am sure that the user id is not null because i have written small script to respond back with the passed user id like response.write(""), it is giving back the passed user id every time but at the same time i am getting Permission denied.
The permission denied is a small html file on the .net server side when the ui=null in the pssing URL.
How this is happening at the same time, one is giving back the user id and one is taking the user id as null.
some times i am getting right page and some times giving permisssion denied.
the basic URl is
http://abc.xyz.com/sm_log.asp?userid=damodhar
There is no great security behind this only passing user id, they are not passing the password even in the http header authentication. the simple logic is they are hiding the URL from the view source.
if i pass the hard coded url from the browser i am getting the proper page at the same time if i pass the url from portal it is working some times and some times not, i don't know when?
I am using the web application integrator method.
we are operating portal server from internet and .net server is on intranet.
Thanks,
Damodhar.

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
