SSL Environment variables logged in ssl_request_log as "-"

Anyone got any ideas why my SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_O is shown in the ssl_request_log as "-" on 1 server hosting an intergrated OHS and Oc4j (10.1.3) installation where as on another server hosting OHS (9.0.4) this variable is populated?
Any ideas or help would be very welcome.
Thanks,

Turns out that If a client certificate contains a phone number attribute within the subject field then oracle fails to poplutlate any of the SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_* variables. The issue under investigation by oracle support!

Not able to get SSL related CGI Environment Variables?

We are currently using APEX 3.2.0.x, OHS 10.1.3.x, and 11gR1 on linux. The APEX application we've been developing will be accessed via SSL and x509 certificates such that a client certificate is passed from a user's browser to the OHS, the information will be read from the certificate, and if the user's cert information exists in a user table associated with the application, they will have the role they've been assigned as an existing user within the application. Otherwise, the user will be a guest and have a minimum role accessing the application.
We are certainly not guru's when it has come to setting up and configuring SSL and certs, but we have gotten to the point where we have all of the required certs created and installed, and the client cert passes it's information successfully to the OHS to get to the "home" page of the application via the Rewrite statement in the httpd.conf/ssl.conf that points to the appropriate https url. We are now at the point where we need the APEX application page to read the cert information, and this is where we are having problems.
We have created an "On Load - Before Header" process and temporary item on the "home" page to display CGI environment variables to see what we're getting. It's a PLSQL Anonymous block like this:
DECLARE
lUserName VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
SELECT NVL(owa_util.get_cgi_env('REMOTE_USER'),'NOT POPULATED') INTO lUserName FROM DUAL;
:P1_REMOTE_USERNAME := lUserName;
END;
We can grab any of the cgi environment variables that are listed in the OHS mod_plsql User's Guide. We cannot seem to be able to get any of the SSL CGI environment variables though. We are adding the SSL variables to the dads.conf via the PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList parameter (ex: PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN) and bouncing the OHS as needed. Unfortunately, we have not been successful in getting any of them to show up in the item on the APEX page.
As far as we can tell, we have the SSL/OHS/Certs configured, but may be there is another SSL directive or some other configuration item that we've missed that needs to be set in order for SSL CGI environment variables to be available to the owa_util.get_cgi_env function. If anyone can tell us what we may have missed, it would be appreciated.
thanks

Hey John,
what we have found that we were not sure of is that we need to use Rewrite rules and conditions in the ssl.conf to grab the ssl cgi environment variables and "put" them into the request header to hold them like this:
RewriteCond %{SSL:SSL_SERVER_S_DN} (.*)
RewriteRule .* - [E=SSLS_DN:%1]
RequestHeader add X-SSL-SERVER-S-DN %{SSLS_DN}e
Then in the dads.conf put the request header reference in there with the plsqlcgienvironmentlist parameter like this:
PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList HTTP_X_SSL_SERVER_S_DN
Restart the OHS, and then grab the HTTP_X_SSL_SERVER_S_DN variable(s) via the owa_util.get_cgi_env in the APEX page to pull the value out with an anonymous block in an On Load - Before Header process like this:
DECLARE
lUserName VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
SELECT NVL(owa_util.get_cgi_env('HTTP_X_SSL_SERVER_S_DN'),'NOTHING HERE') INTO lUserName FROM DUAL;
END;
It's the Rewrite rules and putting them into the request header that we were not totally sure about as far as how and where you put the environment variables to make them accessible to the dads.conf with the PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList parameter that in turn makes them accessible to APEX. We're still not 100% sure this is the correct method, but it's working. We don't recall reading in any of the APEX docs, APEX forum threads, or other documentation about needing Rewrite rules and conditions to put the cgi environment variables into the request header to make them accessible to APEX. So, that seems to be our missing piece of the puzzle here.
Anyway, I think we're okay for the moment, and may be this thread will help someone else out in the future. Thanks for your help John, and will give you a helpful plug on the forum for this thread. BTW, I do have your book, so it was nice to see someone as advanced with APEX as yourself reply to the posting.
Thanks

Use environment variables in logging.properties file

is there a way to use environment variables in logging.properties file?
like this -
java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern = {$MY_BASE_LOG_FOLDER}/myapp1/log/123%g.logdo I have to write a custom logging.properties loader? if yes, then are there any examples on this?

I'm sorry, but don't you think your answer is useless?
Maybe I haven't made my question clear enough. I need to know if java.util.logging recognizes environment variables in logging.properties files.
If it does not, then there should be a well-known class to use instead of standard loader for logging.properties (java api mention one briefly).

Load Plan logging and environment variables

Hi all.
Do think it is possible to log in an external table each load plan step details (such as step name, step duration, etc..) ?
I'm wondering if there are some environment variables that contain all typical step information.
Thanks

thank you for the answer..
but why I have to use a when case step?
I just need to set a string in a variable before to execute a serial step within exception step.
I do this in a normal load plan step. So Why I cannot do the same in the exception one ?

Does "Allow log on locally" work with environment variables?

This is merely out of curiosity and just because I'm doing some conceptual gambling.
I'd like to create a GPO having the Allow log on locally set to something like the following list:
%OWNER%
BUILTIN\Administrators
The concept behind this is to prepare the system during OS installation with a value to the OWNER environment variable to allow only the specified user account (apart from the Administrators group, of course) to log on to the system without A) having to
configure this setting locally on the client and B) having a great range of different GPOs to handle all the user/computer combinations.
My questions are:
Does this work at all?
If it works, what do I need to provide as a value?
I've already tried to set <user name>, <domain name>\<user name> and
<user name>@<FQDN> but none of those seem to work.

Hi,
Glad to see your problem resolved. Hope your experience could helps other who had same cofusion.

System PATH environment variable issue when user log off and log in or switch from admin to non-admin account

Hi,
Problem Description:
After installing my new product version, when user does log-off and log in again into admin account
or switch from admin account to non-admin account, PATH environment variable shows incorrect path of my product (previous product version’s path) using command prompt.
It seems windows refresh issue during session changes (log off and log in / switch from Admin to
Non-admin account).
Why PATH environment variable is not refresh immediately after log off and log in again or Switch
from admin to non-admin mode?.
Please see my thread for more details http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/445ab42c-bdff-405a-8d53-558e1b6c7d34/path-environment-variable-issue-when-user-logoff-and-login-or-switch-from-admin-to-nonadmin?forum=windowsgeneraldevelopmentissues
Also submitted bug for this in connect.microsoft.com portal.In that it has lots of information
like problem statement, Reproduction steps and Expected Results.
Bug ID: 871782
Could you please any body help me for this?. your support will be appreciated.

Why PATH environment variable is not refresh immediately after log off and log in again or Switch
from admin to non-admin mode?.
I wouldn't have any expectation of what you are doing to work the way you expect. E.g. why is the %ABC% being replaced at all? There is some help about this ambiguous scenario in the cmd help...
/V:ON Enable delayed environment variable expansion using ! as the
delimiter. For example, /V:ON would allow !var! to expand the
variable var at execution time. The var syntax expands variables
at input time, which is quite a different thing when inside of a FOR
loop.
/V:OFF Disable delayed environment expansion.
So, what's the setting for the /V: switch that your users would be using? Perhaps you should be using the ! instead of the % for your ABC variable?
Oh. There's more below where I found that...
Delayed environment variable expansion is NOT enabled by default. You
can enable or disable delayed environment variable expansion for a
particular invocation of CMD.EXE with the /V:ON or /V:OFF switch. You
can enable or disable delayed expansion for all invocations of CMD.EXE on a
machine and/or user logon session by setting either or both of the
following REG_DWORD values in the registry using REGEDIT.EXE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\DelayedExpansion
and/or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\DelayedExpansion
to either 0x1 or 0x0. The user specific setting takes precedence over
the machine setting. The command line switches take precedence over the
registry settings.
In a batch file the SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION or DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
arguments takes precedence over the /V:ON or /V:OFF switch. See SETLOCAL /?
for details.
If delayed environment variable expansion is enabled, then the exclamation
character can be used to substitute the value of an environment variable
at execution time.
So, I guess the essence of your "bug" will boil down to whether you
need the feature to get the result you want and the
truth of that first sentence but it certainly looks like a "can of worms" to me. ; )

Setting Environment Variable CPIC_MAX_CONV

Hi Experts,
In of the steps during POST INSTALLATION of PI7.0 it says to set the variable CPIC_MAX_CONV, using the transaction RZ10.
When i logged in to the abap system , and checked in RZ10,did find any variable of this name.
Do I need to create it first and then set the value gw/max_conn_per_wp.
If yes, give me the steps to do this. or else any other alternative.
Thanks in advance,
Younus

Hi,
Check this note :

The parameter CPIC_MAX_CONV is a environment variable that you find in Unix or windows, depends where you had installed SAP PI.

Using custom environment variables in the profile path

Hi,
I've created a custom environment variable that I've setup on two computers and the domain controllers. I want to use this in the profile path in user properties. However when users log in the variable is taken literally rather than being converted
into the value. For example
\\fileserver\share\user\%myenv%.v2 is generated rather than \\fileserver\share\user\envdata.v2
If I add in another built-in variable such as %OS%, that converts properly but any time I use a custom variable Windows just doesn't use it during the logon process. If I open up Explorer and type in the path to my data as it should be it works fine
so Windows is definitely picking up the variable, just not using during the logon process. I can't seem to find a TechNet article that states custom variables can't be used in profile paths.
Has anyone else come across this?
Thanks,
Tim

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
So did you create the environment variable using group policy? If yes, i would suggest you use 'Create' and not 'Update', the variable is then held through reboots.
Please refer to this blog, hope it will be helpful

I see that only ORACLE_HOME variable value was got, question is why, of course, variable values are already defined as user variables.
Variables PATH_MODULO and FILELOG was defined using windows maintenance variable method, that is :
1.- settings
2.- system
3.- advanced options
4.- environment variables
Here my oracle version

Is this an Oracle Issue or variables would be defined in another way?
ORACLE_HOME VARIABLE was created when oracle engine was installed.
I have got same result after computer was restart.
I appreciate wathever clue.

Ok, that is , I only can read environment variables values, but not variables values at user profile. It happends in unix environment too. So I tried to use another instruction sequence in order to read user variables values.

Library paths and environment variables

Hello,
I am using 10g AS 9.0.4 on a Unix system.
I am trying to convert an old JSP web application to work with 10g. It is not an EAR/WAR file so I am manually trying to set it up under the "default-web-app" folder. It uses a number of java class files which currently reside in $J2EE_HOME/default-web-app/WEB-INF/classes/mystuff.
These class files require access to a number of libraries. I foolishly believed that they would be accessible if I were to place them in the $J2EE_HOME/default-web-app/WEB-INF/lib folder, but that did not work.
I read that OC4J uses a "catch all" lib directory at $J2EE_HOME/applib. I copied the library files there and they still did not work.
Frustrated, I tried to print out the environment variables for the server - only to find that this function is not supported.
I managed to print out the library path by creating a Java class files which returns the following as a string:
System.getProperty("java.library.path");
This (when called from a JSP) prints a number of different library paths, none of which match those found listed in the $J2EE_HOME/config/application.xml file. I placed the library files in one of the paths listed by the "java.library.path" and it worked!
3 questions:
1. How do you print the server's environment variables using a JSP? This strikes me as a very useful function for sorting out library and path issues. Do a search on Google for "print environment variables OC4J" or something similar and there are no useful pages suggesting how this can be done.
2. Why are the default library paths different on the server than to those specified in application.xml?
3. How do I change the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or any environment variable for that matter)? I have tried adding the following line to $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc/jserv.properties without success:
wrapper.env=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/my/custom/library/path
Any help you can offer would be most appreciated.

Thanks very much for a such a comprehensive response
- it has helped answer a lot of questions, especially
being able to print out the system properties. That
will be really useful!
No worries at all Rob.
The main hurdle is that the libraries are indeed
native (*.so) libraries. I hadn't considered that
until you pointed it out in your message. Can I
assume, then, that $J2EE_HOME/applib and
$J2EE_HOME/default-web-app/WEB-INF/lib are only
designed to handle Java's .JAR librares? That would
explain why placing the native libraries in there
didn't work, but is there a way of getting such
native libraries recognised and bundled up in a
WAR/EAR file?
Yep, that's it.
Our proprietary applib and the servlet specs web-inf/lib are only dealing with Java archives.
The J2EE specs don't cover how to deal with native libs like this.
Now I've NEVER EVER tried it, but it's worth a shot of at least trying -- for simplified packaging purposes, what you may be able to do is to distribute the .so's within the web-inf/lib -- and then just set that directory (where's its realized on the server after the app is deployed) to be referenced witihn the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I'd expect our deployment manager will just ignore files it doesn't know about, so arguably you should be able to at least distribute them with the standard archive.
You'll need to specifically set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as a separate task outside of the deployment operation though.

This is where things get a bit weird, and is partly
my fault during the installation of 10g AS.
We already had an existing installation of Oracle 10g
Database (10.1.0) at $ORACLE_HOME under the user
"oracle". I logged in as the user "oracle" to install
the Application Server into a different location (In
this case, "$ORACLE_HOME/../ias10g_9.0.4" - let's
call this $IAS_HOME). So there is no separate user
account for Oracle Database and Application Server
(and hence no separate $LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
If I log into UNIX as the user "oracle" and echo the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I get the following directories:
$ORACLE_HOME/lib
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin
/usr/dt/lib
/usr/lib
I use this user to do "opmnctl stopall" and "opmnctl
startall". If I then print out the library path from
a JSP using
"System.getProperty("java.library.path");", I get the
following paths:
$IAS_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/sparc/server
$IAS_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/sparc
$IAS_HOME/jdk/jre/../lib/sparc
$IAS_HOME/opmn/lib
$IAS_HOME/lib
$IAS_HOME/usr/lib
Which is totally different to those listed by
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH at the command line, which means
they must be coming from somewhere else.
It gets worse - my application is trying to call a
native library that is only present in the
$ORACLE_HOME/lib32 directory (libclntsh.so.10.1), so
unless I can include this path in the
"java.library.path" on the Applicaiton Server, then
my program will not work.
So, how do I change the "java.library.path" when the
values aren't coming from $LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the
first place?
The utility $IAS_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl is actually a shell script.
It has this section which sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
if [ -z "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ]
then
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/lib ; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
else LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} ; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
fi
So if you have an existing LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var set, it should just be putting its paths onto the front of it.
What you could try as a quick test is to edit the opmnctl script (after taking a backup of course) and either appending the path you need to it, or just add some debug statements to output the LD_LIBRARY_PATH value it ends up setting so you can try and work out what's causing it.
I expect these other entries:
$IAS_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/sparc/server
$IAS_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/sparc
$IAS_HOME/jdk/jre/../lib/sparc
are coming from the JRE when it is launched, in probably a similar manner to our opmn entries.
I really appreciate your help, and I bet if anyone
can answer these questions, you can! ;-)
You're very welcome.
cheers

How do I use a UNIX environment variable for the path of a file name

We are running Forms 6i over the web. The forms server runs on a UNIX (HP-UX) machine.
I want to read the contents of a file, which is simple enough, using the TEXT_IO package. However, I want to reference a UNIX environment variable that specifies the file path i.e
PROCEDURE get_file IS
in_file Text_IO.File_Type;
linebuf VARCHAR2(1800);
filename VARCHAR2(200);
BEGIN
filename:= '$LOG_DIR/RCAS181.log';
in_file := Text_IO.Fopen(filename, 'r');
.....other stuff
Notice the filename string references my unix env variable '$LOG_DIR'. However, this doesnt work. If I put the full pathname it works fine.
Any suggestions ?

Have a look at TOOL_ENV.GETVAR()

How to include Windows environment variables in e-mail action scheduled task

Hello Support,
Is it possible to include Windows environment variables such as %username% or %computername% in the subject line or body of the "Send e-mail" action item of the Task Scheduler? For example, I would like when I setup a scheduled
task to perform a certain task and send an e-mail message, the email should include either the user name or computer name in the subject line and body of the e-mail. Is that possible?
Thanks

Hi,
You can create a new Scheduled Task preference item to solve your requirement.

I created a scheduled task and that does not provide what I need. The scheduled task will simple send an mail, but I want to know from which machine or user triggered the email. I also tried adding the batch file to the scheduled
task and that did not work even though the scheduled task has the following settings.
User Configuration >> Prefence >> Control Panel Settings >> Scheduled Tasks
When running the task, use the following user account
NT AUTHORITY\System
Run whether user is logged on or not
Run with highest privileges HighestAvailable
Configure for: Windows 7
I also tried with Computer Configurations

Windows System Environment Variables in "Sql * plus"

Can i use/reference Windows System Environment variables in "Sql * plus"?
For example, i want to create sql-script to run in database server computer that asks variable "ORA_HOME" and uses this value to execute some sql/plsql sentences.

Business problem:
I have created 2 databases in my computer. Both databases needs tablespaces created by a script. Tablespaces' datafiles (.dbf files) names are same for both database. Both database has it's own directory where it holds datafiles at the moment. At the moment the datafiles for Database1 are in folder something like "%ORACLE_HOME%"\oradata\%databasename1%\*.dbf, and second database has its datafiles in other folder, somewhere ""%ORACLE_HOME%"\oradata\%databasename1%\*.dbf". I want now the script to create tablespace called "INDX" with same datafile name "indx1.dbf" into both database. So into both mentioned folder the file "indx1.dbf" must be created by script. I think the script should do following:
1. get ORACLE_HOME.
2. connect to database "databasename1"
3. EXECUTE IMMEDIATE "Create TableSpace INDX....file=%ORACLE_HOME% || databasename1 || indx1.dbf"
4. connect to database "databasename2"
5. EXECUTE IMMEDIATE "Create TableSpace INDX....file=%ORACLE_HOME% || databasename2 || indx1.dbf"I don't have Oracle database near by anymore, so the code was pseudocode.
I don't understand how to use ?-shortcut.OK, my first impression is "why does this even NEED to be scripted? Creation of new tablespaces is usually a one-off operation.
But that aside how about this sqlplus command-line substitution variables. This example is in linux, but will work as well in Windows with the change of the way environment variables are referenced:
*nix - echo $myvariable
Windows - echo %myvariable%
First, the sqlscript to create the TS. Note the use of the substitution variable "&1"

Using environment variables in RMAN command line

I'm running Oracle 11gR2 and working in a Solaris 10 environment.
I am trying to run the rman command by connecting to the target, auxiliary, and catalog by catting out the contents of password files where I have my connect strings stored for each database. Also in there I am trying to use environment variables to reference each database.
rman target "`cat ${HOME}/password_dir/prod_connect.txt`@${PROD_DB}" auxiliary "`cat ${HOME}/password_dir/stage_connect.txt`@`${STAGE_DB}`" catalog "`cat ${HOME}/password_dir/rman_catalog_connect.txt`@${RMAN_CATALOG_DB}"
The end result I need is:
rman target "username/password@db" auxiliary "username/password@db" catalog "username/password@db"
Is this possible?

Levi,
Good idea on the variables. I set up a variable with my connect string including the TNS reference (i.e. user/password@XXX)
So when I run this:
rman auxiliary ${AUXILIARY}
I get this:

RMAN-00554: initialization of internal recovery manager package failed
RMAN-04006: error from auxiliary database: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
But if I try to run it without the TNS entry it works. The only issue with that is I need the TNS reference to connect to the database I'm cloning from. Any idea what's going on here?
Also, the same applies to the TARGET, but oddly enough not the CATALOG. It will connect to my rman catalog using the TNS just fine. The only difference is with the catalog I'm logging in as my rman catalog user. With the TARGET and AUXILIARY I'm logging in as the system user.
