New HTMLDB User - Want to authenticate against a database user

Greetings... I would like to authenticate a user sign-in/logon screen against database users setup in the database. It appears to me that DAD might do this, but I'm a bit fuzzy on how to make it work. I looked in some of the FAQ's here and can't seem to find something that tells me how to do this. I'd be thankful for any help you can give this old DBA who's stepping into HTMLDB Development.
(Love the product so far by the way!)
Robert

Robert - It depends on what your aim is, but one way to do it is to create a new DAD without a username or password in the connect info. This will require users to respond to the basic authentication challenge allowing those who have database accounts to authenticate to your application.
Regardless of which database account is used to authenticate, keep in mind that all SQL and PL/SQL in the application executes as the schema designated as the application's "owner" or parsing schema, so the identity of the authenticated user with respect to database roles and privileges plays no part unless you actively use the session's USER value in VPD/RLS, for example.

In the report level user wants two persons against each work center.

Hi Experts,
Please let me know the solution, I have provided scenario below.
check the query which the user is referring to report:
Example
Work center     Person
KNE33102     44003850
According to the user, the names for the Work centers should be as follows:
Work center          Person
KNE33102         44003850,
KNE33102        44003603
I have check the data in T-code-CR03, each work center getting two persons, as can be shown below.
Work center        Person
KNE33102           44003850,
KNE33102           44003603
In RSA3 it can be seen that both the records are being extracted
Work center     Start date     End date     Person
KNE33102     09.02.2009     31.12.2009     44003850
KNE33102     09.02.2009     31.12.2009     44003603
In BI , when checking in PSA, it can be seen that the data is also being loaded to BI (Two persons loaded against Work center-KNE33102)
Work center     Start date     End date     Person
KNE33102     09.02.2009     31.12.2009     44003850
KNE33102     09.02.2009     31.12.2009     44003603
But when loading to the Info Object, one person has deleted. Because of this, in the report level displaying one person.
Note:-Please let me know what is the procedure, in the report level user wants two persons against each work center.

Hi,
As you said in your post the data has mentioned up to 2009. can you try execute the query till to date .

Director user wanting to share a bitmap between users

Hi..
I've created a simple paint application using Director (and
convereted into a Shockwave DCR) - what I want to do is allow other
users to see this, if they're using the application also. I'm not
used to flash, and do not want to redesign the program. Also, the
Whiteboard feature with Flash Media Server seems crappy and slow.
What's the handiest way for me to share a bitmap with other users
using Flash Media Server?
I really wish there was still support for the Multiuser
Server.
Thanks,
Cormac

It works quite nicely... if you use the older Flash 7 xtra
(and DLLs). However I can't find a situation where the Flash 8 xtra
doesn't break onSync events or break debugging shared objects. The
onsync "success" event does not fire with Flash 8 xtra. That makes
the FMS connection part of my Director project (and probably for
anyone else who wants to use onSync) useless. I've been working
with Adobe for a month on this and they can't get it. I've since
made a set of 2 Projectors that explicitly show the problem
side-by-side. It's a bug, for now.
To your question... you can create flash objects with lingo
using newObject(). However creating the connections then passing
bitmap info to FMS... I don't know. Like the other post says, you
wouldn't use FMS to pass the bitmap data. In fact, how would you
even send bitmap data out of plain old Shockwave? I suppose that's
why you turned to FMS! You could getPixel() on each bitmap pixel,
then send that data to a server as text. But that's a lot of text,
depending on the bitmap size.
Yeah, support for the multiuser server... I'm pretty sure it
still works, just use the old xtra :)

Is it possible to authenticate the SAP GUI user against LDAP ( no SSO )

Hi
I was under the impression that you can user LDAP to authenticate your SAP GUI user . ( so users do not have to maintain and remember multiple passwords )..
However - note #603208 claims that this is not possible.
This is quite an old note , is this still true ?
note #793191 ( FAQ ) says :
9. Can I synchronize user passwords?
Response: No.
The password cannot be synchronized. For more information, see Note 603208.
and note #603208 says :
A comparison of the production password with a directory is not possible.
The following reasons are responsible for this:
The password is not stored in the plain text or in in "enciphered" form, neither in SAP Web Application Server nor in the directory, rather is is stored as a "hash value" that is calculated from the password that is entered. The function used for this is especially designed so that the password CANNOT be reconstructed from the hash value.
For technical reasons, the user master synchronization cannot therefore extract the plain text of the password and send this to another system.
The user's password has a size that is known only to the user. Even the system administrator and database administrator cannot obtain any information about the password.
A comparison in plain text form would violate this basic rule. For this reason, the use of a hash value is a generally applied standard.
Often the adjustment of passwords in several systems is equated with the term "Single Sign-On".
However, this term must only be applied if the user logs on once and this logon information is transferred within the system infrastructure.
The SAP Web Application Server supports real Single Sign-Ons (note 138498).

Can the Design Console authenticate against the OID?

Can the Design Console authenticate against the OID?
In my setup the users authenticate against the OID server when logging to OIM Web Console.
The OID has a plugin that redirects the authentication request to the Microsoft AD server.
That way the users can login to OIM Web Console using their Microsoft network password.
A small problem is that I have a handful of users that need to use the Design Console, and when they attempt to login it almost always fails at first.
It fails because they forget that the password they have to type on the Design Console login screen actually resides within the OIM Server and as time goes by the password becomes different then the one used to login to the Microsoft network.
So i wondered if it is somehow possible to configure the Design Console to authenticate against my OID server, then it would redirect the authentication request to the Microsoft AD Server and they would not have to bother about what is/was the password stored within the OIM.
Thanks for any thought on the matter.
Adriano.

Design Console always authenticate against the OIM user credentials. I suppose this is due to the factor that this does not behave as an http request over web, so its almost impossible to redirect the login request to some other server(AD/OID etc).
I also did not find this in the Oracle documentation, so I suppose its not possible. The AD Pass Syncwould work but just installing the AD Pass Sync for a handful of users (accessing design console) would not be recommended as it requires an agent to be installed on AD side. You might need to handle the OIM passwords for such users manually.

Authentication against a database table

Hi,
I would like to know if there are way of doing the authentication of weblogic against a database table.
I already saw the authentication working against the database users, but not against a database table.
thanks

Anonymous - It is not necessary to login to the HTML DB application if you set it up that way. But I think you mean you'd like the user to be able to login to the "other" application (what technology does it use?) and then (in the same browser session I presume) be able to link to the HTML DB application which would then recognize the authenticated user (from the other app) and allow access. If the user accessed the HTML DB app without having authenticated to the other app first, the user would be challenged for credentials using a page of some sort from the other app. If this is sort of on-the-mark, please search this forum for an example of authentication using mod_ntlm (search ntlm) and take a look at the page sentry code that's been posted and used successfully by others. There's also a document here: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=18326:44:::::P44_ID:1722 .

Numeric Database User Account

Assalamu Alykum,
I have Numeric Database user like "3122" , when i use database authentication for the application its give me error , which means that i can't use Numeric user but in my comany all user are numeric , can any buddy tell me how i can authenticate with numeric database user.

Assalamu AlykumPlease clarify.
when i use database authenticationWhat version of Application Express?
Is this the Database Account authentication scheme?
its give me errorWhat is the error and where do you see it?
which means that i can't use Numeric user ...Why? I think it means you have encountered a problem using a numeric username. You cannot conclude that you cannot use a numeric username without doing more research.

How do I move all my files from one User Profile (account) into another? I needed to create a new account and want all of my files accessible in the new one.

How do I move all my files from one User Profile (account) into another?
I needed to create a new account and want all of my files accessible in the new one.

ok, what you're learning right now is 101 unix, which is good. Unix is a good thing
now: the way unix works, and macos (which uses unix underneath) the files and folders work like a hierarchy.
the start of that tree is /
so, if you were to do:
cd /
(cd means change directory)
it will bring you at the highest branch of the file system.
cd /Users
will bring you to where all the users are.
to see whats in /Users you can use your friend ls command
ls means list files/directories
so:
cd /Users
ls -la
(the -la here means show all (even hidden) and long format (very verbose)) this flag is very optional.
you will see
fred
user2
for example.
if you want to see the desktop of user2 you would change directory to it then list the files.
for example:
cd /Users/user2/Desktop
Note that the files and directory are case sensitive, so, desktop is NOT the same as Desktop, or DESKTOP
ls -la
you should then be able to see everything in users2 desktop
you could have done as well the same thing in smaller steps, for example:
cd /
cd Users
cd user2
cd Desktop
this is the equivalent of cd /Users/user2/Desktop
So, for your file, i don't know where it was, but know that if you log in as user2, it will directly put you in
/Users/user2
which most likely the file you had created from the other user was in /Users/user1
if you copied all the files from /Users/original_user to /Users/secondUser
most likely yes, all your mail, bookmarks etc would be copied over.
so in your case.
sudo chown -R seconduser:staff /Users/secondUser
should work
Remember that if you start a path with the character / it means start from the root of the file system, at the highest top you can ever get.
so
cd /Users/fred
is not the same as
cd Users/fred
unless you were in / already
i know it may be confusing at first but it's actually very logical if you play with it.
to simplify, think of it that / means C:\ on windows
you can't go any higher than C:\ (in a way)
if you're unsure which directory you're currently in, you can always type:
pwd
it will tell you where you are.
for example:
cd /
pwd
this shows /
cd Users
pwd
this now shows /Users
cd /System/Library
pwd will show /System/Library
cd /
cd /Users
cd fred
cd Library
pwd will show /Users/fred/Library
unix can look very scary but it's actually vital and very necessary to do tasks sometimes that would take for ever to do via the windows. This is good learning.
so for the myfile you had created, i can't tell you where it is, at the time you created, if you can do a pwd command you'll know the path,
ls -la (this shows all the files where you are)
if you see myfile in the list
do a pwd
whatever is return, the real location of the file would be:
whatever pwd returned / myfile
I hope that makes sense.

I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it

I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it?

Here's an easy way:
Pick the user that you want to eliminate (making sure that the remaining user has administrator privileges) and move all of the data that you want to keep into the Shared folder. Reboot or log out and login to the user you want to keep. Copy all the data from the Shared folder into your account - placing it neatly in folders (Documents, Music, Movies, etc.).
Once the data is moved, log into the account you want to delete just once more to make certain that you've grabbed all the data you want to keep. Log out and log back into your admin account and go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the 'old' user.
That should do it.

Back up all data.
Check the Mail, Contacts & Calendar preference pane to make sure you're not synchronizing Notes in more than one account.
If you're not, disable Notes synchronization temporarily.
Quit Notes, if it's running.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes
Copy the whole line of text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop.
The folder you're moving is named "com.apple.Notes" It is not the subfolder named "Data" or anything else.
Re-enable Notes synchronization.
Relaunch Notes and test. If it works now, delete the folder you moved. Otherwise, quit again, and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place.
Caution: If you delete some or all of the contents of the selected folder, but leave the folder itself in place, the application may not launch. Deleting the folder will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

Mac users running Windows: Innoculate against spyware & virus

I hope this thread I'm going to start is appropriate to this discussion board. I have been a Mac user since 1989 and an Apple user before then. Never a Windows user.
With the new intel macs, I am now using Windows occassionally to run a program (Atlas.ti) that is only made for Windows. I'm using Parallels to rung Windows XP Pro (SP2)I have found, to my horror, that getting infected by spyware and adware is really easy on Windows machines. I rarely use the Windows side to browse but once in a while I do when I'm using Atlas.ti and mostly to sites that are reputable. Just by doing that, I've been infected with spyware that no free anti-spyware program can remove after the fact. Something called "Trojan.cm.small" or something like that. I don't have the exact name.
Because of those problems, I've had to re-create my virtual disk 3 times, each time getting smarter about how to use Windows machines. The following is my latest tip and I wanted to share it. If any of you have better tips, please post to the thread.
TIP BEGINS:
I’ve had to recreate my virtual disk at least three times, the last time being yesterday, thanks to spyware that none of the free spyware programmes could remove. They could detect it just fine but they couldn’t remove it. And get this, I rarely use Windows and hardly use it to browse on the internet but just the few minutes of browsing on the internet has caused me great problems.
What I did differently than the previous two re-installations is the following:
1. After (re)installing Windows, I immediately do Windows update and MADE SURE I did NOT browse to ANY other site. I allowed Windows to completely update itself include several restarts and multiple runs of updates.
2. After that’s done, I installed the following anti-spyware and anti-virus software. All were free except the virus software which was available free to users at my university:
a. Spybot Search & Destroy
b. Spyware Blaster
c. SpywareGuard
d. Windows Defender Beta
e. McAfee VirusScan
3. I installed these programmes one at a time and updated them and performed the appropriate setting changes before proceeding to install the remaining software.
I did a lot of research to determine which anti-spyware programmes to use and determined these were the best according to my research. You can do you own research and I think one of the best ways is to go to a reputable university’s website, type in “Spyware” and see how THEY tell their faculty and students to innoculate their computers against spyware. The sites I used were:
a. University of California, Santa Cruz
b. University of Calfiornia, Berkeley
c. Carnegie Mellon University
d. University of Illinois, Urbana-Champagne
I hope this tip helps Mac users. It’s only since moving to an Intel Mac did I start using Windows and I can’t believe how quickly my computer (the VM side) became infected. As I say, I had to re-install 3 times and each time I became wiser. I hope this is the last time I have to do a complete re-installation.
One last thing, after installing all those anti-spyware and anti-virus programmes, you might find that when installing your own software (in my case, Atlas.ti) might be a problem. It was for me so I ended up turning off all the anti-spyware programmes, installing Atlas.ti, then turning back on the anti-spyware programmes.
I can’t believe why the majority of computer users put up with such a crappy OS system! At least the Mac is my primary OS.

Also I really can't agree with you, when I run those
anti-spyware programs (about once a month) it usually
doesn't find ANY infections. Do you use Internet
Explorer by any chance? The infection rate with that
browser is significantly higher than with others
(Firefox, Opera, etc).
Yes, one of the problems was running Internet Explorer.
For any Mac user who is just using Windows for the first time, it is intuitive to use the built-in Internet Explorer browser, right? I mean, it should NOT be the problem of the user to determine that using Internet Explorer is a problem. But unfortunately, IE is a problem. Nevertheless, that's a backwards approach which seems a very Windows-centric way of doing things. Can't blame the user for not knowing and using Internet Explorer.
What I've resorted to now is running Internet Explorer only for Windows updates and other Microsoft websites that require it. Everything else I use Opera or Firefox.
By the way, an interesting new service from Microsoft is:
