Oracle User retrieved as ANONYMOUS

Hi all,
I am running an application on oracle apex 3.2 over oracle 11G database. I am updating a table with 5 columns. I am providing 4 columns as my parameters and 5th by running a trigger on every update. This column in update_user_id. In this trigger i am calling a function get_user which returns "user" value.
FUNCTION GET_USER
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
BEGIN
return user;
END GETUSER;
Now the problem is when i an running this procedure from JDeveloper or SQLDeveloper, it is returning the correct value of schema name, but when i am calling this procedure from Application Express, it is returning me "ANONYMOUS". Has anyone faced this sought of problem? How can i get correct schema name from APEX application
With Regards,
Sunil Bhatia

APEX does not connect to the database as the parsing schema, it connects as a generic user with the permissions of the parsing schema. Using APP_USER will give you the user id of the APEX user, but beware if you have any any queries which reference this column elsewhere in SQLPLUS etc.
We have a simliar problem when updating e-business suite tables and the standard "who" columns - we ended up linking our APEX accounts to the users EBS account and then bringing back their ID in order to preserve referential integrity (whatever that means in EBS! ;) ) - There are reasons why we don't just authenticate against the users apps account before it is asked! :p

Using Oracle Users in Realms and DataSource.getConnection

Is it possible to authenticate using an Oracle User via JAASRealm and also retrieve connections specific to that user from a DataSource?
I currently have an application which doesn't use either, but rather sets up a OracleDataSource. So basically I just want to allow the container to administer both the authentication and data source setup, while still allowing the getConnection(user,password):
CODE
ocpds = new OracleConnectionPoolDataSource();
ocpds.setURL(connectionString);
ocpds.setConnectionProperties(props);
ods = new OracleDataSource();
ods.setURL(connectionString);
ods.setConnectionCachingEnabled(true);
ods.setConnectionProperties(props);
// Pool and Cache
Properties poolProps = new Properties();
poolProps.setProperty("AbandonedConnectionTimeout", "60");
poolProps.setProperty("InactivityTimeout", "5");
poolProps.setProperty("TimeToLiveTimeout", "60");
poolProps.setProperty("ConnectionWaitTimeout", "60");
ods.setConnectionCacheProperties(poolProps);
ods.setConnectionProperties(props);
Util.logln("Connection Cache Properties");
cache = OracleConnectionCacheManager.getConnectionCacheManagerInstance();
cache.createCache(cacheName, ods, poolProps);
cache.setConnectionPoolDataSource(cacheName, ocpds);
........later in the BatCave (JSP or a servlet).....
conn = (OracleConnection) ods.getConnection(username, password);
ENDCODE
This section from OAS Containers for J2EE Services Guide worries me:
(from: http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14012/datasrc.htm#sthref572 )
Using Different User Names for Two Connections to a Single Data Source
When you retrieve a connection from a DataSource object with a user name and password, this user name and password are used on all subsequent connection retrievals within the same transaction. This is true for all data source types.
For example, suppose an application retrieves a connection from the jdbc/OracleCMTDS1 data source with the scott user name. When the application retrieves a second connection from the same data source with a different user name, such as adams, the second user name (adams) is ignored. Instead, the original user name (scott) is used.
Thanks for reading all of this, and I appreciate any help!

Update:
I'm still not quite sure what to do. Where I am now:
1. I don't know how to authenticate against Oracle database users (non-ldap) via JNDI/JAAS/whatever
2. Proxy authentication (ALTER USER...CONNECT THROUGH...) seems to be promising for using connection pools, and in addition, once realm authentication happens, I can just pass the username and piggyback on the middletier connection without knowing the password used in authentication
3. I'm not sure if proxy addresses the issue that OAS Containers for J2EE Services Guide talks about in the original post
4. I'd prefer not to use OID
Again, if you have any little information, I'd really like to hear it.

How to implement Oracle user/role security with Access front end?

Hi,
We have successfully migrated our Access database tables to Oracle 10g using SQL developer. We've recreated all the users and roles(i.e., access groups) in Oracle and granted rights to tables.
In the Access front end database, in the Database window we have saved linked Oracle tables which replaced the Access tables. The forms, reports, queries run fine with the linked Oracle tables. All the linked table use one ODBC DSN to the Oracle database with the same Oracle user id.
We need to be able to authenticate users into the Oracle database and RE-link the tables based on their own unique user id. By during so we can allow users to use the Oracle standard user id/role and system privileges to control select, update, ect. rights to the database.
I've been able to use the VB code within Access to logon into the database with a unique id, but I have not been able to find out how to RE-link the tables to the unique user id using VB. There should be some way to relink tables dynamically, based on users login into the Access front end.
I don't know a great deal about Access projects, but I do know with SQL server allows login into your Access project and link tables dynamically.
Can someone give me some assistance or point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Larry

We had one of our programmers here come up with a VB code solution for re-linking table within Access. However the relinking takes 3-4 minutes for 100+ tables.
In an effort to help you understand the situation better, I will attempt to elaborate on the problem:
We have an Access 2003 application which currently has a front end using Access(forms, reports, queries, & VB code) and a MS Access 2003 backend.
We have migrated the backend tables to Oracle. However, we still have a need to maintain the front end in Access, since we have over 60 forms, 40 reports, 200+ queries in Access. Its easy to understand, we have a significant investment in the front end(Obviously, the plan is to migrate the front end also at some future date).
In order to utilized the existing front end, we have to validate and modify the current front end connections to the new Oracle backend. One of the features of Access is that you can "link" tables and save the link for runtime. Each Access table can have its own link which is a separate ODBC/JET connection. As such, each separate link has its own userid/database information.
The other issue with using the Access front-end is that Access utilizes a workgroup file to implement user and group security. The workgroup file contains all the users and which groups the users belong to in Access. Then within Access, you allow users access to object(tables, queries, ect) by their userid and or group. When users open an Access database with Access security enabled, they are required to log into Access. The login is authenticated by the workgroup file. Once, logged into Access, users have rights to Access objects based on their rights granted to their userid and groups they belong. The problem here is that when you remove the linked Access tables and replace them with linked Oracle tables, Access has knowledge about Oracle table rights granted to users; nor would you expect it to.
The dilema is the disconnect between Access and the fact Oracle utilizes a similar but much more sophisticated security model. It creates users and roles(which are similar to Access groups), and again this is independent of Access security.
Our solution was to still use the Access workgroup file security along with the Oracle security model. By using the Access userid and then creating a similar Oracle userid with similar table rights granted in Access, you could apply security within Access and also with the Oracle database.
For example, a user BOB logs into Access via the workgroup file, using VB code, Access then establishes a Oracle connection logining into Oracle using the same unique userid BOB into Oracle.
After connecting and validating user BOB into Oracle, then the Access tables are relinked to Oracle using the user BOB userid and table rights.
This Oracle userid has been granted table rights specific for this userid.This allows the user BOB to use the Access application and still be authenticated into the Oracle database.
The problem with this solution is that the relinking of the saved Access tables takes 3-7 minutes for about 100+ tables. This is not acceptable for users each time they log into the application.
Our current alternative is to use one Oracle userid to login each user, and use Access form restrictions/security to allow/prevent users from updating/viewing data. Obviously, this is not the optimal solution in respect to security, but it at least allows us to control access to the data(via the forms) by using one logon required for each user, and quick startup time for the application.
I understand SQL server does a better job in integration, but we use Oracle which is what I am trying to work with.

Hi Kashif,
Glad you like the new Community. Communication among user group leaders works a little differently on this site than on the previous site. Rather than having communication focus around e-mail distribution lists, communication now is focused within the site itself. The intent is that this will provide users the one place to come for information, rather than having to sort through lots of e-mail threads. That doesn't mean that e-mail is completely out of the picture though. Users can opt-in to receive e-mail notifications when an individual piece of content is changed, or when content is posted to a space. Look for the "Receive email notifications" link under "Actions" to start receiving notices. To stop receiving notices, go back to the same content/space and click "Stop email notifications".
Your Relationship Manager will be talking with you and the other leaders in your region over the next few days and weeks regarding how you and your group of leaders want to communicate.
Best regards,
Oracle User Group Team

Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS

Hi All
I have already gone thru lot of links, So appreciate if i can have some solution
I have 3 servers A, B and C . A and B are in same domain and C is in different domain. and I am sysadmin in all 3 servers and all have trusted connection with each other
1. All have tcp and named pipe enable
2. All 3 servers and all services including browser are up and running
3. When i connect any sql server from any Server using SSMS i am able to connect and (net_transport, auth_scheme = TCP , NTLM).
Now i create linked server at server B to Server C (C domain is different than A and B). When i login on Server B and try to run query on C its working fine. But after remote login to server A and connect sql server at B using SSMS when
i expand linked server to c i cant see databases and query is giving error "Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'"
I also tried to connect to all 3 server in ssms using forced named pipes but i am getting below error
"provider named pipes provider error 40 - Could not open connection to sql server"
My question :
1. I have to use domain account to use linked server from server A to connect SQLserver B to server C, How this can be done is this related to Double hop ??
2. Why i cant connect using forced Named pipe to any server using SSMS except local host
Thanks Saurabh Sinha http://saurabhsinhainblogs.blogspot.in/ Please click the Mark as answer button and vote as helpful if this reply solves your problem

Hello,
First, it is possible to use Kerberos delegation across trusted domains.
net_transport, auth_scheme = TCP , NTLM
This means something isn't correctly setup as you're defaulting back to NTLM. This should read Kerberos if your SPNs were setup correctly and authenticated properly. Check the SPNs and service accounts.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280744(v=SQL.105).aspx
1. I have to use domain account to use linked server from server A to connect SQLserver B to server C, How this can be done is this related to Double hop ??
To go across domains I'm not entirely sure on that part, but I can say it'd probably be easier if you did use a domain account as the service account.
2. Why i cant connect using forced Named pipe to any server using SSMS except local host
I'm not quite sure what you mean here. You can't connect through NP? Why the need for NP at all?

Dear Hussein ,
As per your suggestion , if we disable the trigger , does it workflow goes ahead without any problems ?
By Disabling the trigger , what would be the impact ? I mean does we are going to loose the data that was supposed to be updated the trigger.
And basically please educate me . what is the use of this APPS.ALR_PAY_ELEMENT_801_53338_IAR’ ?

Problem logon as oracle user.

There was a problem with my installation of oracle (8.1.5) on solaris 8 intel. So I logout out of oracle user.
Now I cannot logon through CDE.
There is a console message when logging on as root.
The error message is SMTP-DAEMON needs 101 in /var/spool/mqueue.
NOQUEUEL: low on space.
Any suggestions to solve my problems?

This looks like your 'sendmail' couldn't create a directoryfor group 101 (possibly your oracle dba account group). Check if your logs aren't full or you might temporarily shutdown sendmail just to enable you to log on.
Hope it helps.

Can not start WLS as oracle user

I am not able to start the WLS (10.3.2) as the oracle user.
I am able to start it as the root user but i don't have root access so i always have to ask our admin to stop and start the server...
What do i need to do to be able to start and stop the WLS with the oracle user?
Their are 2 errors i get... When i started the server as root and i need to restart it and i try it with the oracle user i get this:
<May 27, 2010 12:23:14 PM CEST> <Notice> <Log Management> <BEA-170019> <The server log file /oracle/product/wls10320/user_projects/domains/webcenter_domain/servers/AdminServer/logs/AdminServer.log is opened. All server side log events will be written to this file.>

        at weblogic.work.ExecuteThread.run(ExecuteThread.java:173)I can do a chmod for the files so i don't get the permission denied error but than when i try to start the server from my oracle user i get an error which i currently can not get because of the permission denied and no root access...
I know the error says something about bootstrap or something which i thought to be something to do with a password... But when i run the same startup with root user i do not get this error...
So what do i need to do so i can start the WLS without having to login as the root?

Hi,
Could you first check if you have read/write/create permissions on the folder:
/oracle/product/wls10320/user_projects/domains/webcenter_domain/servers/AdminServer/data/ldap/ldapfiles/EmbeddedLDAP.tran
If yes could you try deleting the the ldap folder from "yourdomain/servername/ldap" and then restart the server.

Zeno

Oracle user can't see all files in a folder. Why?

I've installed oracle 10g (32 bit) in Oracle EL (32 bit). When I attempt to start the database from the oracle user, it throws the following error:
ORA-01078:failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00109:could not open parameter file '/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/initorcl.ora'
As an oracle user I checked the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs and found these two files visible:
initdw.ora & init.ora
But as root user i found the following files existing in the directory:
hc_orcl.dat, initdw.ora, init.ora, lkORCL.ora, orapworcl & spfileorcl.ora
echo $ORACLE_SID returns the value as "orcl".
I followed the possible issues from the following thread:
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
and
http://mohamedazar.com/2010/04/27/ora-01078-failure-in-processing-system-parameters/
but since the files are not visible for the user, but available to the root, what are the possible solutions that I should try for?

Hi Alvaro,
I've given full permissions to the user
As oracle user:
[oracle@localhost dbs]$ ls -ltr
total 36
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 8385 Sep 11 1998 init.ora
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 12920 May 3 2001 initdw.ora
[oracle@localhost dbs]$
As root user:
[root@localhost dbs]# ls -ltr
total 68
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 8385 Sep 11 1998 init.ora
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 12920 May 3 2001 initdw.ora
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 1544 May 8 19:48 hc_orcl.dat
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 24 May 8 19:49 lkORCL
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 1536 May 8 19:52 orapworcl
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 2560 May 8 20:30 spfileorcl.ora

Which is better? Two Oracle user in one instance OR in two instances?

Which is better?
I could not find any benchmark for number of instances per user
in the same machine.
suppose that you have two major Oracle user, from performance
point of view it is better to make separate instances in same
machine or keep these two users in the same instance.

Hi.
I understand that you will use oracle for two different
applications on the same host.
Each instance has its SGA and background processes. So, using
two different schemas(users) in one instance you can share
phisical memory between the applications. Concerning background
processes, you can start as many of them as you wish, so it's
not a problem. If you decided that one DBW is not enough, you
could configure oracle to use two or more.
best regards,
Andrew
