Proxy user connection in oracle form10g

Dear All,
Any one could help me out how to use proxy user connection in oracle form10g ?
proxyapp[SCOTT]/proxyapp@orcl which is running fine is database side i like to use this user in oracle forms 10g and would like to know the syntax of connection .
Thanks & Regards
zeeshan

Do you know if there is there anyway to use proxy users without using OAM? It is working fine for us assuming the combined prox_user[real_user] does exceed 30 characters .... Need to expand the forms user id field ...???

Howmany oracle user connect with oracle server.

hi all
howmany oracle user connect with oracle server.
i want query for above sentance.

Robert,
This query will show us the username who are connect to a particular database. If OP wants that how many overall users are connected to his/her oracle server (which is having more than one db) then please tell us. Suppose 10 users are connected with db1 and 20 users are connected with db2.. like that.

No. of users connected to oracle

Hi everyone,
How to find out howmany users connected to oracle?

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.10
2/b14237/dynviews_2088.htm#sthref3985That identifies how many sessions are connected to Oracle. It's an awful long time since I saw a system that had a predictable relationship between number of sessions and number of users. Nearly every system I see does one or more of the following.
1. Uses connection pooling.
2. Opens more than 1 connection for a single user session.
3. Uses the same user account for authenticating connections.
Often those 3 are related of course, but if you have an app that does that querying v$session won't answer the original question - though it might set limits on possible answers.
In short I'd say that how many users, as opposed to user sessions, were active at any one time was an application development issue. If however the question is really a management question about how busy the database server is I have found that answering accurately, but perhaps misleadingly, "there are on average 42 user sessions" is a perfectly adequate answer to the question - since the motive is usually about "busyness" not actual end-users.

Script to Determine Users Connected to Oracle Apps and For Imitating Users

I found this great script (Note:430948.1 on Metalink) to track users connected to the E-Business Suite.
My colleague though noticed that users who had shut their browsers without logging off or those users who had 'timed out of their session' would still come back in the report.
He wanted an accurate measure of who was in fact using the e-Business suite.
We took the original query and added the last line (below). It basically takes the ‘last connect’ time and adds 60 minutes to it to figure out who is ‘validly’ still connected.
select distinct ic.disabled_flag, fu.user_name User_Name,fr.RESPONSIBILITY_KEY Responsibility, fu.user_name,fu.user_id, fu.description, fu.employee_id,
ic.responsibility_application_id, ic.responsibility_id, ic.org_id, ic.function_type, ic.counter, ic.first_connect, ic.last_connect,
ic.nls_territory, ic.time_out, fr.menu_id, fr.responsibility_key
from apps_fnd.fnd_user fu,
apps_fnd.fnd_responsibility fr, apps_fnd.icx_sessions ic
where fu.user_id = ic.user_id AND
fr.responsibility_id = ic.responsibility_id AND
ic.disabled_flag='N' AND
ic.responsibility_id is not null AND
ic.last_connect > sysdate - (ic.time_out/60)/96
Can anybody see any issues with this query? or a better way to do this?
It looks like Oracle runs a clean up script to wipe out sessions after a certain amount of time so they are no longer active sessions - so this works around that.

Proxy user connectivity with thin driver

Hi,
The database I'm working use proxy user authentication. When I select oci8 as driver I can connect using the below login method:
Host Name : username[proxy user]
password : password
but it shows as invalid username/password when I select the driver = THIN.
What could be the reason behind this?
thanks
Edited by: Nadvi on Jul 9, 2010 1:52 PM

Hi John,
Thanks for your reply. The documentation says, proxy connectivity method is same both for THIN & OCI8 driver. But what I can see is Jdeveloper is somehow misinterpreting the proxy user name.
Ie, Username[Proxy user] and the reason why it throws invalid username/password.
But the same syntax works fine with sqlplus, or any other IDE.
Can anybody guide me on this.
Thanks

Solution: WinXP Restricted users connecting to Oracle

For a while we've been having the problem that with a default install of the Oracle Client (in our case 9.2 - Not sure if the problem exists with earlier versions), restricted users on WinXP (possibly 2K too, I've not been able to test it) cannot connect to any server because they cannot see the oracle client files. For some reason, the oracle client install sets strange permissions that mean only administrators can access the client files. Worse still, any attempt to reset the permissions on the ORACLE_HOME directory and propagate them down all the sub directories always fails with Permission Denied (even for admins?!?!?!). Even attempting to take ownership fails.
Anyway, we've found a solution:
Logged in as an admin, we copied the c:\oracle\Ora92 directory from a fresh install of the oracle client on WinXP to a machine with Fat32 (Win98) - Thereby removing all permissions from the files. We then renamed the old Oracle directory on the WinXP PC, created a new one and copied back the Ora92 directory from the Win98 PC - This resulted in the c:\Oracle directory and all sub directories having default permissions, specifically Read and Execute to all users and Full to admins. We also reset the permission on all sub-directories of c:\program files\oracle to those of c:\program files\oracle ( Using the "Reset permission on all child objects and enable propagation of inheritable permissions" check box in windows advanced security ).
The end result is that restricted users can now access the necessary oracle client files, but don't have permission to alter them (which prevents them changing any connection parameters).
The problem still remains that the installer creates strange permissions on files in the Oracle Home directory, but at least there is a workaround until Oracle sorts out the installer.
Anyone think of a better way to get the same result?

if you set the restricted users into the power users group you may be asking for other troubles as these users will then have update permissions to most files on the system, including those files in the winnt folder.
it is not clear to me whether you are unable to set the file permissions to read/write access, or whether you are able to do so but that after you do so the users still get errors launching the client. it sounds like the solution to your problem may have been setting the read/write access in the \program files\oracle folder.
you should make sure you install oracle when you are logged in as administrator. note that this is different than doing the install while logged in as user "X", where "X" is a member of the administrator group.
if after doing the install as administrator you still have problems, i would recommend that you turn on auditing, reboot the system, launch the client as a restricted user, and then review the event log to see what file(s) are being denied access.
to set up auditing, go to start->programs->administrative tools->local security policy. select local policies, then audit policies. set "audit object access" to failure. then go to my computer, right click on C:, select properties, then the security tab. click on the advanced button, then the auditing tab. select the "everyone" group, then click ok. in the next window, check all boxes in the "failed" column. click ok.
don't forget to reverse the process and turn off auditing once you have found the problem files and set the necessary permissions.

Exact details of users connected-APPS

Dear all,
Tried various varieties of queries to find out the exact details of users connected in oracle EBS.. tried thru sysadmin-users-monitor also.. but it shows all the old users ..
I need to get the users who are connected at the time when I execute the query
is this possible in EBS using query ?
If so, please do tell me ?
Thanks

Hi,
Forms sessions: yes as they are session based.
Framework sessions: no as they are not session based.

Proxy User - Forms 11.1.2 and Oracle Database (version 10.1.0.5) ??

Hi,
we are migrating from Forms 6i to 11.1.2. Our database version is very old (Enterprise Edition, version 10.1.0.5) because this is the latest version of the DB that Forms 6i runs, and we will migrating to 11g in phases. So 6i and 11g will co-exists for a while (accesing the same DB).
I am trying to use proxy users feature to login to database.
So I did this:
- I created a user PROXY_USR to be the proxy user:
SQL> create user PROXY_USR identified by PROXY_PASW;*
- I grant create session for the user:
SQL> grant create session to PROXY_USR;*
- I changed the application users (eg APPUSER01), to connect via proxy user:
SQL> alter user APPUSER01 grant connect through PROXY_USR;*
The comand in Forms module to login is:
+LOGON('PROXY_USR[APPUSER01]','PROXY_PASW@DB01');+*
The logon built is being performed and the connection being made, without erros.
But when I verify in what user the application is logged on, the result is not
what was expected:
I did the follwing PL/SQL inside Form module:
begin*
select user into v_user_DB from dual;*
MESSAGE('User Connected: '||v_user_DB,ACKNOWLEDGE);*
exception*
when others then*
MESSAGE('ERR: '||SQLERRM,ACKNOWLEDGE);*
end;*
The result from this select, is PROXY_USR and not APPUSER01 (that would be the correct):
*>>Result: "User Connected: PROXY_USR"*
Some more commands that were also performed inside Forms module:
begin+
select sys_context('userenv','current_user') v_current_usr from dual+
MESSAGE('Current User: '||v_current_usr,ACKNOWLEDGE);+
exception+
when others then+
MESSAGE('ERR: '||SQLERRM,ACKNOWLEDGE);+
*>>Result: "User Connected: PROXY_USR"*
begin+
select sys_context('userenv','proxy_user') v_proxy_user from dual;+
MESSAGE('Current User: '||v_proxy_user,ACKNOWLEDGE);+
exception+
when others then+
MESSAGE('ERR: '||SQLERRM,ACKNOWLEDGE);+
*>>Result: "Proxy User: "*
OBS: when a connect via SQL*Plus, in a 11g database (Express), and run the commands above, the results are OK. The
APPUSER01 is returned.
Any ideas ?? I will open a SR in Metalink, but I think they will first request a database upgrade,
which is not feasible for us at the moment ...
Thanks in Advance.
Franco

Unfortunately besides trying on a certified combination (maybe use the Developer Database VM and import the required schemas for trial) and going through the documentation at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/doc.11120/e24477/sso.htm I can't offer more. I don't have a 10gR1 database anymore and also I don't have OID to play with.

Hi,
I tested the following and got the expected results (doenst connect). I'm using 10.2.0.2 ODP, and got the same behavior pointing to 9206 db and 10.2.0.2 db.
I did a quick check and dont see any obvious related bug fixes in ODP, but if you're not using 10.2.0.2 ODP, you might want to try that.
Here's exactly what I tested.

Proxy users - oracle 9.2 - accessing via sql plus

I may be totally off track here, but here is what I want
to do.
I have 2 schema's (schema A and schema B).
schema A has multiple objects (tables) within it.
I want to allow another user, schema B to access these objects. Can I use the Proxy User settings to do this? By going in and allowing Schema B to proxy for this user (shcema a). "ALTER user schemaA GRANT CONNECT THROUGH schemaB"
I try this and then go into sqlplus and log in as
schemaB, but I can't see any of schemaA's objects.
Am I missing somthing here?
In the past I have always assigned the proper grants to a role and assinged them to schema B as needed which works fine. However, it seemed to me if the proxy user worked the way I thought it would you could do things for an entire schema at one time instead of object by object using the grants.
Thanks
John

Different database connection or proxy user change

Hi forms guys,
in everyday life I am fulltime DBA, so please forgive my spare forms word pool.
Our users open a forms application that displays a menu with forms applications the user has access to. Users can then click on the menu items and another form pops up. Now having reviewed the code, I can say that the opening of the new forms is done by calling the builtin OPEN_FORM. As parameter "SESSION_MODE" for this function, "SESSION" is supplied. If I understand correctly, this means that another session using THE SAME username/password/connectionstring is created (for the purpose of parallel transactions in parent and child form).
At the moment each and every user (~400) has it's own database account which has roles (depending on the applications they are granted access to) assigned and also sometimes owns dblinks and synonyms. We want to get rid of them by storing the credentials in OID and just create ONE single application user for every application we host. This user shall contain all nescessary objects such as dblinks and private synonyms.
The enduser then logs in using the proxy mechanism. For example if user XYZ (defined in OID) wants to start application ABC, then he/she connects like XYZ[ABC_APPUSER]/XYZPASSWD. This must occur when the form opens, directly after the OPEN_FORM call.
Now my question: Is this possible somehow? Is there a way to have different database connections within a single forms window, if there are different forms? Or is it possible to make a switch to another proxy user within forms? e.g. JDBC has the ability to quickly switch to an other proxy user, without having to re-establish the whole session.
All I have read so far tells me, that it is not possible. But I would really like to hear that acknowledged by experts. Also other, perhaps better ideas for our intention are welcome.
Kindest regards
Matschbirne

Not really sure how to answer your question other than to say that from within your form's pl/sql you can connect and disconnect as often as you like programatically. However, you can only have one connection at a time (as far as I know). So if you connect as SCOTT and later want to do a login as FRED, you can do so, but SCOTT will no longer be connected.
Forms does support using Oracle SSO, but for the most part cannot directly access OID. Also, the db login information needed by Forms (when using SSO) is stored in a RAD (Remote Access Descriptor) in OID. The RAD behavior is unique to Forms and Reports. For each SSO user there is a related RAD. At the moment, there is no provided way to have RAD groups (e.g. Admin, Sales, Guests, etc). So each user get their own RAD.
If you are using Forms 11.1.x, Forms now supports db proxy users.
More information about SSO and Proxy users with Forms can be found in the Forms Deployment Guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/doc.11120/e24477/sso.htm
In the code, you can control the connection using the LOGON, LOGOUT, and LOGON_SCREEN built-ins. Refer to the Forms Builder online help for details on how to use these.

Proxy user when connecting using ODBC

Configure Oracle Forms with Proxy user

Hi Everyone,
We have successfully enabled SSO with OAM, OID and used proxy user on the RAD config for forms and reports as described in thie doc: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/e10240/sso.htm#BABBEFGJ
Our problem is our forms user account has been prefixed with 'ops$' and we don't want to use 'ops$' for our OID useraccount. Is there a way to remap or prefix an OID user and tell form to use it to connect to DB using a proxy user? E.g.:
1. OID user - scott
2. DB user/Form user - ops$scott
3. Proxy user - midtier
Any insights is greatly appreciated.

From the docu:
Click the Authentication tab, then specify the following information:
Proxy name and password: Specify the fully qualified, comma-delimited name and password for the proxy user used to access the OES, NetWare or Windows, server. (You can use the Browse icon next to the Proxy field to browse the LDAP directory for the proxy user that you want to use.)
IMPORTANT:Before you specify a proxy name and password for the Net Folder server, ensure that you review the information in Section 8.1.2, Planning the Net Folder Server Proxy User.
Test connection: Click this button to ensure that the path is accurate and that the credentials are valid, then click OK after the test succeeds.
Sometimes proxy users with the incorrect context pass this test. Ensure that the context for your proxy user is correct, as described in Expected Name Format for File Servers.
Authentication type: Select the authentication service for the file server that you are connecting to. This option corresponds with the Server type setting that you selected on the Configuration tab. If you selected OES or NetWare as the server type, only Novell NMAS is available as the authentication type. If you selected Windows as the server type, you can select either Kerberos, NTLM, or Auto detect as the authentication type. (Auto detect means that it tries authenticating with Kerberos first, and if that fails, authenticates with NTLM.)
NOTE:If Kerberos is selected as the authentication type, ensure that the DNS name server is able to resolve DNS queries for the Active Directory domains.
If the Kerberos port (port 88) is disabled on the Windows server, select NTLM as the authentication type.
So you should use comma delimited name for the username... Did you also try browsing for the user using the icon there?
Does is log any specific error message in /opt/novell/filr/apache-tomcat/logs/appserver.log file when you try to test the connection?
