Supplying Username and Password??

Hi All,
I took the report link with "Document Only" option, but when I run the URL the username and password screen appears.
I need to supply the username and the password in the URL or by any other way.
Regards,

they are very different options and should both be described in the user guide.
You can do either or you wouldn't do both. Setting up Single Sign-on is certainly
something you have to look up - since also potentially applicaitons server specific.
Enable and UNPROTECTD guest user account is done the following way:
0) Create a folder under "Shared Folders" with the name "Guest" (or whatever)
1) Go to the Admin tab
2) Click on "Security Configuration"
3) Check "Allow Guest Access"
4) Enter as Guest Folder Name next to it: Guest (or whatever)
5) Click Apply
6) Restart BI Publisher application or applicaiton server

How to supply username and password for consuming webservice in BizTalk Adaptor?

While I hit the web service directly , I am able get response from that service, it asked for username and password, after that it processed the request and gave expected output. I am trying to consume the same web service (https) from BizTalk orchestration
, it created message type , port type, binding for me , all fine, but while sending message to the webservice , it throws error like this
<SOAP-ENV:Fault xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:wd="urn:com.abc/bsvc">
<faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Client.authenticationError</faultcode>
<faultstring>invalid username or password</faultstring>
</SOAP-ENV:Fault>
I have given username and passoword in port level. I tried basic binding, I also tried wcf_basic binding , but no luck. These bindings were generated by wizard only, I Imported those bindings , ports got created, I just added username and password in the
port level.
How should I supply username and password in BizTalk to get this working ? Any inputs would be greatly appriciated
Regards
Vivek

Hi,
the way to resolve this is to write a Wcf Custom Behavior.
Several people have blogged about this and Microsoft have written some articles:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/627.using-custom-behaviors-with-the-biztalk-wcf-adapters-part-2.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc952299(v=bts.10).aspx
The articles are old so you need to verify they still apply.

Supplying username and password to repository via code

Hi There,
Is there a way to supply the username and password to the webdav repository via code or in the address line? We have an ActiveX object accessing files and would like to avoid the repository prompting.

Annoyed by OTN username and password prompting

Sorry it's really starting to annoy me that I always have to enter my OTN username and password between every browser session. Why can it not use a cockie or whatever to keep me logged in at least for the day. Or better, let me save the password in my keychain so that I only have to press the "Sign In" button when the login appears.
Firefox has a built in "save password" option, which will supply username and password when accessing a particular web page. It works with sites like ebay and many other common sites, but for some reason it does not work with OTN. When accessing OTN it never prompts me if I want Firefox to remember the password. I'm not using private browsing and have no site in the save password exception list.
I found an add-on named "Saved Password Editor". It allows to manually add username and password entries associated with a web site. But since almost any software calls home today I rather not use any 3rd party tool to deal with security sensitive information. I checked the tool and it did not call home, but who knows what happens later.
Any other ideas?
FWIW: firefox - How does browser know when to prompt user to save password? - Stack Overflow
Maybe the problem is simply because the login uses "ossusername" instead of "username" in the login form.

So what is the message? I have no particular objection to any solution that fixes the issue, beside installing 3rd party browser extensions.
How about the following? Checking https://login.oracle.com/mysso/signon.jsp on http://web-sniffer.net shows:
Set-Cookie: ORA_UCM_VER=; domain=.oracle.com; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 01:00:00 GMT; path=/
Unfortunately I cannot set my system date prior to 1970 to see what happens, but would the cookie allow me to login without the need to specify my username and password again until the cookie expires? Would that be a feasible option instead of enabling form autocomplete?
Speaking of which, the OTN forum defines "Cache-Control: private, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate". This setting disables browser caching. I found the browser's back button very useful in the past to be able to get back the content of the forum editor, for instance, when some error occurred submitting the response or when I accidentally opened another web page. This used to work in the previous forum.
The editor's new recovery function so far has been rather confusing or completely useless for me. It does not help after being logged out without notice. It actually just happened and I received an "unexpected error" while posting this response, loosing all text. (Un)fortunately I'm used to either copy and paste the content before submitting or use my own text editor. But cutting and pasting has become a different story now after the forum upgrade with the buggy editor.
Meanwhile I understand that OTN cannot fix the problems with the forum software, but perhaps the login could be improved.

Username and password for SOAP sender call

Hello,
does anyone know how to provide the username and password to a SOAP sender call, e.g. XI receives the ws via soap and needs to know which userid and password to check. When you use a SOAP client they use basic authentication which sends the request first to XI and XI send a request back for password. This would work for an online app but not for ws from machine to machine. I read some docu about query strings but no where it has an example what to put either on the request URL, the adapter or the SOAP envelope. SOAP 1.1 seems to have left that open and IBM has an example using SOAP Header which did not work with XI.
Thanks
Stefan

Hi,
do you use the javax.xml.rpc.Call class? Because then
you can supply username and password to the call via
the addParameter method. I think I did that with XI 3.0
and it worked. If you need more information please consult
the javax.xml.rpc.Call javadoc.
Best regards,
Hermann

External apps in portal r showing username and password on address bar

Hai all
We r usign apps 11.5.3 and 9iAS 9.0.2.0.1.
Portal 9.0.2.2.14a.
I regesterd apps as External application to portal and supplied username and password fields.
It is regestered succesfully and the external application link is working fine.
When I fisttime accessed link it asked for username and password.
I could logged in successfully to apps but the user name and pasword r appearing on the address bar of apps page.
Even my.oracle which is configured bydefault during portal installation is showing user name and password on the addressbar.
Is there a way to hide them from appearing in address bar.
regards,
sreenivas

You can deploy the external application link for your oracle apps as a url item in a region. Enable the check box to open this url in a new browser window. Hide the toolbars for this new window using javascript. Hope this helps...

Extracting username and password from security header

Hey all,
I'm writing a BPEL process that invokes two secured web services. One of them authenticates using Username Token and the other has a authenticate method in which the username and password are supplied as Strings. I have successfully propagated the credentials from the BPEL process to the web service using Username Token by doing the following:
1) I secured my BPEL process
2) I imported oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd and from it created a variable of type Security
3) I added the security variable to the Header Variables for the BPEL process input
4) I added the security variable to the Input Header Variables for the web service's invoke operation
This worked fine. However, I need to be able to extract out the username and password and supply them as Strings to the authenticate method of the other web service. How can this be done? If it can't, what are some alternatives?
Environment:
JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Sri,
If I understand your steps correctly, I think the problem I'm having rests with the second step. I don't know how to get a hold of the username and password to assign to the local variables you mention. The BPEL process itself uses Username Token for authentication. These credentials need to be passed to the web services invoked within the BPEL process. If I assign the security header variable directly to the string output for the BPEL process, the string returned will be the complete XML security header, which includes the username and password. However, the security header variable itself doesn't expose the username and password directly. In other words, I can't expand the security header variable node in the dialog for editing the Assign operation and get to the username and password. I think one solution is to parse out the username and password from the complete XML security header using string operations (substring, index-within-string, etc). Also, regarding step 4, I'm not sure if passing the credentials in the header will work for this web service. I think the web service is expecting the credentials as parameters to its authenticate method.
Thanks,
Bill

Same username and password in different domain cannot be auth.

I created 2 domains with a user created into each domain. The users have same username and password, like below
Domain1: user1 (password)
Domain2: user1 (password)
Then I create 2 policy sets
PolicySet1 with Domain1 and add a policy (called Policy1) with user1 from Domain1 and proper permissions
PolicySet2 with Domain2 and add a policy (called Policy2) with user1 from Domain2 and proper permissions
Now I apply policy1 to a document to form a secured document called SecuredDoc1.pdf
Then I apply policy2 to a document to form a secured document called SecuredDoc2.pdf
I open SecuredDoc1.pdf, and try to authenticate with user1 (password), I can successfully open the document
I open SecuredDoc2.pdf, and try to authenticate with user1 (password), I can NOT open the document.
Is this a bug? Does RightManagement authenticated with domain id?
Thanks

Although LiveCycle will allow you to create two users with the same user ID (each in different domains) it is not recommended for the reson you are experiencing. The domain is not used in the authentication, LiveCycle attempts to authenticate with the first user id it locates that matches the supplied user id.
In your example, The first instance of "user1" that LiveCycle is finding happens to be part of "Domain1", this is why SecuredDoc1.pdf can be opened and SecuredDoc2.pdf can't be opened (the user1 that is a member of the policy applied to the second document is not the user that has been authenticated).
You need to keep all user ids unique.

Steve

Can't get username and password into client proxy

Hello all,
I am creating a client proxy using class xem_measurementImport (the doMeasurementImport method). I call this from an ABAP program, and it pushes measurement data into the EC (Environmental Compliance) system, which runs in Java. Everything has been running well, except for one thing. When I run the program in the foreground, it prompts me for a username and password, and when I run it in the background (it will be run that way in production), it gets a SOAP/authentication fails error message from the method, since username & password could not be supplied. I tried to recreate my client proxy, but when it is created, the wizard does not prompt me for my name & password, which it should do, so that it can supply it to the calling program via the logical port. Is this a configuration issue that Basis needs to address? Thanks for any help you can give.

gaurav agrawalNo. If the "client" is installing the DB (and, I assume, administrating it, I.E. removing the large security holes that exist in the default installation), then why don't you simply ask the "client" for this info a dialog?
Otherwise, you should be providing a script in your installation package that modifies the DB to your needs, and instruct the "client" to install a "default" root password until after the script has run, and then to change the "root" password again. A Java application should definately not be worried about this stuff.

Logging on ISA with username and password in URL

Hi!
We have a scenario where a customer have an internal portal and from this portal they access different suppliers webshop and get automatic access since the username and password is supplied in the URL.
In our current Online Store solution we use a special log on page and the user gets logged in, but how is this possible in ISA?
Regards
rollo

Hi!
The correct answer should be YES, it is possible!
It is not related to what Florian wrote, just simly add the userid and password in the URL.
Exemple
https://mybigcompany.com/b2b/b2b/init.do?language=sv&userid=rollo&password=mytopsecretpassword
The only negative issue is that the first log on will not work, the user get an errormessage and have to enter the log on data again.

SQL Plus username and password

I have downloaded Oracle 10g from a CD I received in my Oracle Developer Book and I can't do any of the chapter assignments, because it is asking me for username and password. I have registered at the oracle website and received a keycode, but it never asked me to enter the keycode when downloading the software and I was NEVER asked to set up a username and password. I need help!!! I need to use this in class. What can I do????

Ask your teacher? If you're working in a class, hands-on help from an experienced teacher will be much more useful than anything you'll get here.
I don't know what version of Oracle 10g you are trying to work with. Is it Express Edition (XE)? Is it Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition (EE or SE)?
I don't use XE, so I can't comment on that in details. But generally, whenever you install Oracle, you'll be asked, as part of the installation, to supply a password for the SYS and SYSTEM user accounts. The relevant page of the installation wizard usually gives you the option of supplying one password for all built-in accounts or supplying a different password for each.
So: at least half your question can be answered by saying a workable username will be "sys" or "system". But I can't tell what password you supplied during the software installation itself.
It's got nothing to do with the password you supplied to be able to download the software, though. That's your OTN username and password, giving you access to this site and others. Nothing whatsoever to do with operating an Oracle database.

Web service username and password problems

Hi,
I am trying to create a client to consume webservices exposed on a secure .net platform that is SSL protected (https).
I am using netbeans 6 with WSIT support. When I create the web service and add the WSDL file - it comes up with the certificate that I then approve, but then just displays a IO Exception. When I access the WSDL through a browser, it requests a username and password (which I supply) and it works fine.
I've tried on Netbeans 5.5 but with no luck - it asks for a username and password (at least) but doesn't accept them.
How can I connect to an https web service that requires a LDAP username and password?
Thanks,
Brendan

I'm guessing that you are trying to call an EBS API and are using FND_WEB_SEC to test that the user account is valid in FND_USER first before executing the API call. In that instance, you'll likely need to use the Oracle Applications Adapter for EBS if you want to authenticate the user through FND_USER.
If you've not purchased that adapter, you could use a simple BPEL process, with a regular database adapter to firstly call the FND_WEB_SEC package to authenticate. Pass the response from eBS into a bpel variable, add a bpel switch based on the outcome of that variable either execute the API call or throw an authentication error if the call failed.
You can wrap all this up into one web service that then calls this bpel process, taking the username and password as as input parameters.
