Oracle Discoverer 10G and mapping Active Directory to use SSO/OID

Could anybody point me please to the right direction?
1. I've setup Oracle 10gIAS but turned off SSO and my users running discoverer /portals with no SSO.
2. My goal is to turn on SSO and synchronize it with Active directory on the windows box.
Thanks you in advance

Hi Randy;
As you mention all notes refer to SSO&OID for Active Directory integration.AFAIK there is no way to do it, please log a Sr and confirm this wiht oracle support

Differences between Oracle Discoverer 10g and 11g (EBS & Desktop)

We are in the process of upgrading from Oracle Discoverer 10g testing to Oracle Discoverer 11g.
We have had several requests (from functional users) for documentation that might reflect the changes in this release level. Does anyone have relevant documentation that might help explain what has changed so that they can be better prepared.

We are in the process of going from 10 desktop to 11 plus. I do not like it as other end-users I have talked to don't either. In desktop, I could have multiple reports open at one time, move tabs from one report to another so I wouldn't have to rebuild the report again. Also, there are times I have 3 or more sessions of desktop running with multiple reports running in them. In plus, I am limited to one session and one report. That slows down productivity big time. In desktop, exporting crosstabs to excel is more user friendly than plus. For desktop, it will fill in the cells below with the data above it if it changes. In plus, it looks like a pivot table. I have read other posts on how to work around that, but not always functional. Using Dense_Rank() works sometimes depending on how the report is written. IT is researching another way but haven't heard back from the consultants. Or, I will have to modify all my excel files with formulas to do that for me. Also in desktop, I can select all and copy paste the results into excel and all data comes in. The row and column headers, page items and even the title section will paste into excel. Plus only gives you the data, no row or column headers. So I have to export it every time I need the data. I have formatted excel files that all I need to do is copy paste and data flows beautifully. As for organizing and saving reports, desktop is much better. I can save reports out on our network under different folders so I can find them faster by topic. Granted, if that directory is an open one, anyone can change/delete it. In plus, the only advantage of saving it on the database is I can sort and search for reports or users. If you make any changes in plus and then walk away from your desk, plus will shut down after a certain time period. If you didn't save it, you have to start over. Don't know if this is something IT can fix???
As we see it, plus is a step back in technology. I hope someone can change that opinion. Don't know if we are not getting the best support from whoever is working with us (Oracle or 3rd party) or we are missing something???? If so, please share.
Thanks.

Problem with Oracle external procedures and Microsoft Active Directory

Hi,
Our server was recently updated to use Microsoft Active Directory. However, we noticed that all external procedure calls keeps on failing with ORA-28575: unable to open RPC connection external procedure agent. Everything was working fine before we migrated to Active Directory which is why we can say that the listener is configured correctly.
Any idea on how we can make extproc calls with Active Directory?
thanks.

Michael,
Oracle Forms does support Single Sign-On (SSO). Take a look at Oracle Containers for J2EE Security Guide: OC4J Java Single Sing-On. Also take a look at the Oracle Forms 10g Sample Code and scroll to the SSO demo under the Forms Services Demo section. There are also, numerous other documents available via Google. ;-)

Oracle context and MS Active Directory

Hello,
I have one pc with Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 10g r2
When I add a user from my Active Directory in the External OS Users of the Oracle Managed Object (via mmc), I get this error:
ORA-30041: Cannot grant quota on the tablespace
And when I try to connect with this user (Active Directory user) to isqlplus, I get another error:
ORA-28030: Server encountered problems accessing LDAP directory servic
Someone know how to resolve these errors ?
Server's Configs
Active directory name: cyclops.home.com
Host name: server.cyclops.home.com
My database name in the Oracle context object of my Active directory: oracle_db

When I use this cmd ldapbind -h cyclops.home.com that works.
If I log to isqlplus with the system user and do select username from all_users; I can see my Active Directory user.
I also changed the LDAP_DIRECTORY_ACCESS parameter to PASSWORD (default was SSL) but that changed nothing.
Maybe the problem is from the Oracle wallet, I did one when I have created the database but I don't know well about it and the use. I think I should have something in my sqlnet.ora file related to the wallet but I don't know how to set.
I search on internet, some homepages said I should use Oracle Net Manager to set the wallet location but I found nothing in Oracle Net manager for it.

Hi all,
I would like to know what the differences between Oracle and other NoSQL database are.
When and why should we use Oracle?I suggest that you start here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/nosqldb/overview/index.html
Is Oracle NoSQL database link with Big Data Appliance?Yes, Oracle NoSQL Database will be a component of the Big Data Appliance.
Can we use map-reduce on a single personal computer? How should we install Oracle NoSQL database to use map reduce on a single personal computer?Yes, I believe you can run M/R on a single computer. Consult the various pieces of documentation available on the web. You may run Oracle NoSQL Database on the same computer that you are running M/R on, but it is likely that they will compete for CPU and IO resources and therefore performance may suffer.
Do we also have eventual consistency with Oracle NoSQL database? Yes.
Can we lose data if master node fails?If you run Oracle NoSQL Database with the default (recommended) durability settings, then if the master fails, a new one will be elected and data is not lost.
Are transactions ACID with Oracle NoSQL database? How can we prove it?Yes, each operation is executed in an ACID transaction. The API has the concept of "multi" operations which allow the caller to perform multiple operations on sets of records with the same major key, but different minor keys. Those operations are also performed within a transaction.

SCCM report to show last logged on user and the Active Directory department attribute of that user.

I need to create an SCCM report to show last logged on user on all machines and the Active Directory department attribute of that last logged on user.

You problem is here.
right
join v_R_User USR on USR.ResourceID
= CS.ResourceID
USR.ResourceID != CS.ResourceID, you need to map the username to the user logon to the PC. By using the user’s department information you will
end up with unreliable results.
Anyways you need to make these changes to your query.

Oracle Database Authentication against Microsoft Active Directory

Hello
Does anyone know if it is possible or can point me in the right direction of some documentation that discuss Oracle database user authentication against and Enterprise Directory Service, in my cases MS AD?
My environment consists of Oracle RDBMS 10.2.0.3 on Linux Red Hat AS 4. Our users connect in from Window clients. I would like to know if there is a way to autheticate users from Windows to the database using LDAP based (AD) authentication. In oters words how do I configure authentication to be done for "identified globally accounts"? I know that the identified by globally accounts require the use of the CN which I have done, but it seems like there is some piece missing. Perhaps an Oracle schema or modification to Active Directory??
So my questions are
1. Is it possible to authenticate users against AD without the implementation of OID?
2. Is there documentation someone has or can point me to that outlines the required steps?
3. Anything I should know?
I appreciate any help. The documentation I have found so far doesn't seem to be what I need... So I am looking for some advice.
Thanks.

Sure, two methods to auth from Oracle DB to MSAD:
OID and OVD
I am working on our own proof of concept configuring EUS connect to OVD with an MSAD as auth at the moment. OVD basically is presenting the database with OracleSchema and OracleContext info. And when you connect via netca (ldap.ora), you assign it as OID directory authentication type.
Here's an OVD manual on Integrating with EUS (chapter 7 is for MSAD)http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/id_mgmt/ovds/pdf/e10286.pdf
And this would be what the EUS config should look like:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/database-security/howtos/eus-how-to.html
If you've done everything in the first doc...
Hope this answers your questions.

Difference in select for update of - in Oracle Database 10g and 11g

Hi, I found out that Oracle Database 10g and 11g treat the following PL/SQL block differently (I am using scott schema for convenience):
DECLARE
  v_ename bonus.ename%TYPE;
BEGIN
  SELECT b.ename
    INTO v_ename
    FROM bonus b
    JOIN emp e ON b.ename = e.ename
    JOIN dept d ON d.deptno = e.deptno
   WHERE b.ename = 'Scott'
     FOR UPDATE OF b.ename;
END;
/While in 10g (10.2) this code ends successfully (well NO_DATA_FOUND exception is raised but that is expected), in 11g (11.2) it raises exception "column ambiguously defined". And that is definitely not expected. It seems like it does not take into account table alias because I found out that when I change the column in FOR UPDATE OF e.empno (also does not work) to e.mgr (which is unique) it starts working. So is this some error in 11g? Any thoughts?

It seems that my question was answered here - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2736426/difference-in-select-for-update-of-in-oracle-database-10g-and-11g

The behaviour seems like it really is a bug and can be avoided using non-ANSI syntax. (It makes me wonder why Oracle maintains two query languages while dumb me thinks that this is just a preprocessor matter and query engine could be the same).

Cisco ISE 1.2 and 2 Active Directory Domains

Hi Support,
does anyone know whether I can perform Certificate Authentication for two different Active Directory domains using the same ISE host / deployment?
We have two forests with a trust link between them.
We have a seperate PKI in each domain.
I am thinking that the ISE can only be joined to a single domain, but because we have a trust between the two forests, the ISE can have two certificate profiles in an identity source sequence which can then use in a single authorisation policy.
I take it that I would need local certs from each CA in the local certificate store of the ISE?
We are performing a company merger and we cannot migrate users to the primary AD domain due to several reasons so we would like to use the same ISE deployment to authenticate Wireless users on both AD domains.
Thanks
Mario

Mario,
This is possible. Here are the guidelines for the Multi-Forest support in ISE 1.2:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/ise/1-2/user_guide/ise_user_guide/ise_man_id_stores.html#pgfId-1350874
You would have to set a new Certificate Authentication Profile for each domain and use the Authentication Policies to determine which of the Certificate Authentication Profiles to use.

Running Oracle database 10g and 11g on same 5 RAC nodes

Hello Gurus,
Could any body throw light if I can install and sucessfully run Oracle database 10g and 11g on the same Oracle RAC installation setup.My setup is below
Number of nodes-5
OS- windows 2003 or RHEL5
storage- DELL EMC SAN
Clusterware- oracle version11g
File system-Automatic storage management(ASM)
After I successfully setup clusterware,ASM on the nodes,I would want to install 11g database on all 5 nodes .
Then Install 10g database on only 3 of the nodes using the same clusterware.
What are your views on the same.
Also FYI... as per metalink node 220970.1(RAC: Frequently Asked Questions) one can do such a setup.
what iam looking for is practical experience if anyone has implemented this in production system,if yes any issues faced and how tough it is to support.
Thanks,
Imtiyaz

You could run an 11g database and 10g database on the same cluster as long as you use Clusterware 11g.
The administration aspect will drastically change according to the platform you run on. As of now, it appears you don't know whether it will be Linux or Windows.
It would be practical to support the same database release.

Doubt with Windows and Oracle Forms 10G and 11g

Hi
I have some doubts in installing Oracle Client on Windows.
a)Can we install Oracle Forms 10g and Reports 10g client on Windows 7?
b)Can we install Oracle Forms 11g and Reports 11g client on Windows XP?
c)If we have an Oracle Forms 11g and Reports 11g, can it connect to a 10g Server?
d)If we have an Oracle Forms 10g and Reports 10g Client, can it connect to an 11g Server?
Please, Can any one help me in this????

a)yes it can be installed on win7, may have some issues on 64bit systems but they're solvable
b)11g had some problems with windows 2000, but didn't see mention of any problems on XP
c)if you mean a database server then yes - i managed to connect 11g to an 8i database, so v10 should not be a problem. If you mean a forms/reports server..well newer forms/reports builder might not want to run old forms/reports and vice versa, but I don't see the point of operating on the same files from different versions. You can still load old form/report source files with a newer builder and recompile them to run on the new server.
d) the "client" is effectively your web browser with a java plugin, unless I misunderstood your question. What version was a form/report compiled with should not be an issue.
