Protect Password In Runtime of Forms 6i

Hi,
We have a requirement where in which we wouldnt want to give the userid and password in Runtime shortcut. Our customers feel that its a compromise to the security.
We are trying to start the runtime by a bat file
i.e start ifrun60.exe module=a.fmx followed by uid/pwd@dbstring.
Here we would like to make this uid/pwd@dbstring to be stored in a file and the input of the same be passed to the bat file containing the above statement.
We are stuck in this. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Thanks again. This is the work around we have given them now :) not a good one really, as we had to hardcode the userid and passwords either in form or in DB level.
I am just thinking through this option as said above.
"uid/pwd@connstring" will be stored in a network file and the contents of the same passed as the parameter to the batch script in which i am calling the forms 6i runtime.
A Example is shown below.
rem set environmental variables
set forms60_path=c:\
set reports60_path=c:\
set path=%path%;c:\;
start ifrun60.exe module=EMP_DEPT_JOIN.fmx USERID=readfromfile.txt

How to encrypt the text in password field in Oracle Forms version 6i

Need help!
How to encrypt the text in password field in Oracle Forms version 6i?
one way is to change the settings in the property palette. Can somebody provide me some script to be run while the form is running which will enable the password to be encrypted?
Thanks!

Hello,
Do you mean "hidden" (replaced with stars) or encrypted (that needs to be decrypted ?

How to hide the window of Runtime Parameter Form?

I have a form and I call a report from this form.I have passed some parameters to this report.Before the browser of reports appear the window of Runtime Parameter Form.I want to hide this window of Runtime Parameter Form but I don't know how.
Please help me!

When calling the report, set the property PARAMFORM to NO. IF you using parameter list to pass values to report you can do as follows:
ADD_PARAMETER(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');

Typing asterisk-protected password characters in software simulation.

I'm doing a software simulation in Captivate 6, one portion of which involves typing a user ID, and then an asterisk-protected password. The recording shows the user ID being typed character by character. However, the asterisks in the password field do not display character by character, but in a single shot. Meanwhile the audio outputs the typing for the password character by character.
Am I doing somethingwrong?

That was software simulation, i captured part of screen or VMware application (you know, that was separate projects).
For security reasons i'm not allowed to gain remote access to anyone. I can capture the project, if you want, and send somewhere or collect logs you need.
That's not a suggestion. If your realization can't achieve the intended goal so you have to use "security reasons" as excuse... That's yours developers decision, don't think i should teach you what is security flaw and what isn't.
EDIT: i updated to 6.0.1 and made a simple demo: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/71356807/demo.cptx
Captivate haven't record typing process. The same thing is with fields and other stuff in VM. I think it should turn FMR on and record the typing process with console output of VM.

Reports-Runtime Parameter Form

hi!
I made a report which contains quite a lot of data; so I
also created a user parameter for the runtime parameter form, so
the user can select one value so that the amount of data is
minimized; the user parameter is based on a select statement;
now my question: the way it is now the user can only make one
selection, how can he see all records and is not forced to select
a single value?
thx, michaela

Hi Michaela,
I Understood that you have created user parameter based on
select statement which will display list of values in List item
in the Runtime Parameter form. User can select any one value
from the list & display the records for selected value in the
parameter form. But your question looks like user should have
facility to select all the value in the list from the runtime
parameter form.
Example : Display list of deptno in the Runtime parameter form.
If user selects any one deptno, display employee
details for the selected deptno. Also user should
have option of selecting records for all the dept.
1. Create user parameter P_DEPTNO based on following select
statement.
Select deptno from dept
Union
Select 'ALL' from Dual
2. Create the Query for the report as
Select *
from Emp
Where deptno = Decode(:P_DEPTNO, 'ALL', deptno, :P_DEPTNO)
So user will have option of specifying condition to
select all the records for all the deptno as well as user
can specify particular deptno.
I hope this may help you to solve your problem. Pls let me
know whether this helps you or not.

Reports-Runtime Parameter Form; another question

hi!
I would like to implement 2 user parameters in the runtime
parameter form which depend on each other: with the first one you
can select a special ressort and depending on the selection you
made here you can select some keyword groups with the second one;
but I don't know how the select statement for the second user
parameter should look like, because it is not allowed to use
'Bindevariablen' (sorry, don't know what they are called in
english; this are the ones with the : in front of them):
here is what I tried to do:
parameter: P_1
select rs_id, rs_name from tb_ressort union select 99999, 'alle
Ressorts' from dual order by 1
parameter: P_2
select kwg_id, kwg_group from tb_keyword_group union select
99999, 'ALL' from dual
and here I wanted to add a where clause: where rs_id = :P_1
but this doesn't work
Any other ideas?
thx in advance

Hi Michaela,
I think this will generally not work in reports parameter form;
the parameter values are available first when the report is
started, and the first point to reference them is in the
after-parameter-form trigger. I think you get the message
from the report builder 'REP-0781: Bind variables not allowed in
the Select statement'.
The only idea I have is to write a parameter form with Forms,
with two LOV's attached to two items wich CAN reference each
other. Then use add_parameter and run_product to start your
report. This seems to be more complicated then using only
Reports, but it isn't and it works.

Customizing Runtime Parameter Form

Hi
I'm using Portal Release2. Here is my problem I want the customize the Runtime Parameter Form but I can't seem to do it. A simple test case is needed:
1) I've created a report definition file access through portal and successfully run the report.
2) I've copied the run link which is something like -
PORTAL_DEMO.TEST_REPORT.show_tabpage
3) I've created a dynamic link such as -
http://abc.def.com:7778/pls/portal/PORTAL_DEMO.TEST_REPORT.show_tabpage
4) when a user clicks that link the page shown is a default Oracle Report Portlet parameter form even though I've changed the parameter form template.
could someone provide a solution to this issue. By the way I've been reading an old version of portal and you can do it in release1 but no reference is available in release2.
see section 5.14.1 Deploying a Report to an Oracle Portal Content Area
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/ias/doc_library/1021doc_otn/busint.102/a86784/pbr_sec.htm#1033196

Hi George
After you register a RDF component, at the end of registration wizard, you need to go to Customize link and check out the fields you wish to display in Parameter form. After this, you need to click on Save Paramater button, which would save your changes.
Now you can put this RDf component to the content area /page and publish the link to this content area / page to users and they would be able to see your customize param form.
Thanks

How do I create a "forgot password" and "forgot username" Form?

Good Day,
I am in need of assistance in learning how to create a "forgot password" and "forgot username" form in DW CS4. I have researched Adobe and the Internet and I am coming somewhat empty on tutorials or step-by-step instructions.
I would appreciate any step-by-step instructions, a link to a good online tutorial, or any other related source that can help me get from beginning to end.
Thank you.

Hope this work for you...
What kind of web programming do you use for? If you use PHP MySQL, you can do it easily.
For example I use a MySQL Table called "admin":
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `admin` (
`id` int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
`username` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
`password` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
`activation` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
`level` int(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`date_registered` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=2 ;
INSERT INTO `admin` (`id`, `name`, `email`, `username`, `password`, `activation`, `level`, `date_registered`) VALUES
(1, 'Andoyo', '[email protected]', 'andoyo', 'andoyo', '8e67d638c0d130a4d66b2888ffc8335b', 0, '2011-09-21 10:32:16');
Make two files, they are:
forgot_password.php, contain form and php mail function
error.php, a redirect page if the mail function doesn't work.
And then, use your Dreamweaver to make a recordset, called: rsForgotPassword
Click Insert > Data Objects > Recordset
Name: rsForgotPassword
Connection: adobe_cookbooks
Table: admin
Columns: All
Filter: email, Form variable, =, email. Use form variable to pass the value from the form.
Click OK
Use if function to make the forgot function work perfectly, for example:
If the email is entered correctly, the mail script will run
If the email doesn't exist in the database, the notification will come out
If they open the page directly, they have to type any keyword
Final example:
forgot_password.php
<?php require_once('Connections/adobe_cookbooks.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
return $theValue;
$colname_rsForgotPassword = "-1";
if (isset($_POST['email'])) {
$colname_rsForgotPassword = $_POST['email'];
mysql_select_db($database_adobe_cookbooks, $adobe_cookbooks);
$query_rsForgotPassword = sprintf("SELECT * FROM `admin` WHERE email = %s", GetSQLValueString($colname_rsForgotPassword, "text"));
$rsForgotPassword = mysql_query($query_rsForgotPassword, $adobe_cookbooks) or die(mysql_error());

My livecycle designer es4 form needs password protection for parts of the form

I have a form created in livecycle designer es4 that will be used by Adobe Reader users in three stages. The first stage is setting up choices on the form, saving them and passwordprotecting this Save. The form will be used three more times, each time saved as a new file.
How do I password protect each saved version from a command button?

Greetings,
You have a couple of options depending on whether you need to display the number when the form is created, or saved.
You will need a 'Back-end' data store - most likely a database with a table that at a minimum keeps track of the last used number.
If you are saving the data from the form into a database, you could return the number to the user after saving the data ( and generating the associated number )
If you are wanting to display the number when the form is first opened, you will need to set up an action profile that fires when the form opens to call the back-end and get the next number.
There is no guarantee that the user will save this form, so you may end up with gaps in your sequence if you are assigning numbers other than when saving.
The forum has many posts on loading data into forms before presentation, and also some on using web services to push and pull data from forms.
Hope this helps
Mark

ORACLE Password Change using APEX FORM

Greetings!
I would like to find out, if there is a utility or a sample page that permits the Database password changes for the DB users within the Database. My goal is for users to maintain password using the Browser, instead of using SQL*Plus or similar Windows tools
Thanks in advance for your help!
Muni

So if you and I can both authenticate to this application, we will necessarily have separate accounts, say in the Application Express account repository of that application's workspace. Our accounts will each have a password that is not synchronized with our database account password. The application will allow me (SCOTT) to change only the database account named SCOTT and will allow you (VIKAS) to change only the database account named VIKAS. That rule would make it unnecessary for the provided form to provide an input field for the database account name (it would be pre-populated). Unfortunately, the chosen authentication method requires each of us to remember our application password, and, if the application is built correctly, to remember our old database password as well. (Implementing that verification has its own issues.) If the application used LDAP then a mapping table would be needed to relate [email protected] to VIKAS. Every time a new database user needed the self-service password facility, a new user account (and a new password), and a new mapping table entry would have to be created. All of that complexity is eliminated if the application uses Database Account credentials authentication -- a new database user is created, the user can authenticate to the application and use it; the database user is removed, the user can no longer authenticate.
Let's not confuse the aim of providing a self-service "change my database password" application (the original requirement) with the simpler task of providing a super-user-oriented database account management page (like we did in XE).

anyway!
Those who are in the dba group on the server can get at the data
in any case.
I just don't see the point in trying to do what you're asking - unless
I've missed something?
BTW, you haven't mentioned OS or db version (see .sig).
Paul...
lovely sethi--
When asking database related questions, please give other posters
some clues, like OS (with version), version of Oracle being used and DDL.
Other trivia such as CPU, RAM + Disk configuration might also be useful.
The exact text and/or number of error messages is useful (!= "it didn't work!"). Thanks.
Furthermore, as a courtesy to those who spend time analysing and attempting to help,
