Take in a user name through a link

I want to pass APEX a default username to compare with a database table, see if it's valid, and then proceed to the Application. I'd like this to be automatic, so it would be a flawless clicking of the link and boom you're looking at what you want to look at.
I don't know how to take something out of the URL and put it into an item, or variable, which could then be compared to a table item. Also, I didn't know if there was a better way to go about this, I've setup LDAP authentication and used APEX authentication, and unfortunately anonymity won't work for this application.

So you would like the application to know who is requesting a page by using the username value in the link, e.g., f?p=100:1:::NO::P1_USER:NEILIO and if that username is in a certain table you will let the page be shown. So if FRED or anyone else (who is not in the table) uses that link and passess in NEILIO or any other valid username, then FRED (or any other user) will be allowed to see the page too, is that right?

  • User Mapping through Personalize link

    Hi,
    I have a question.
    When I click on the Personalize link, and go to User Mapping, I am selecting a system (alias) e.g: NPDCLNT000. Next, I enter the user and pass for this and click on save.
    But, upon clicking on save, my user and pass simply vanish from the page.
    The system still remains NPDCLNT000.
    Is this normal, to be not able to see what user has been used for mapping?
    Hope you understand what I'm trying to say..
    Regards,
    Shitij.

    Hi Shitij,
    no it is not normal that the entered data vanish after hitting the save button. Just to make sure I tested this on my local installation (SAP NW 7.0 SPS 11). The entered values are still displayed after I hit the save button.
    What version is your system?
    Best regards,
    Martin

  • Not able to connect through Application user name in Discoverer Admin

    Hi,
    I created an EUL with all privileges it needed. I created a business area from that EUL and shared it to Application User name through giving access privileges (from Security and Privileges). When I am trying to login through the Application User name in Discoverer Admin it is giving the error like:
    Failed to connect to database - Unable to connect to Oracle Applcations database: invalid username/password.
    Earlier I did in another instance it worked fine but now itself I am facing the problem.

  • I had a name for my user name not an email address and now I cannot get access to my itunes account

    I had a simple user name through the itunes store. It was just a name not an email address, now when I sign in it sends me to an old itunes account which does not recognize purchases that I have made over  the last 5 years.
    Any clue as to how I can access my old account again? I tried asking the system to send me a password with my username (which is not an email address) and have yet to see an email that was on flie with that address.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thank you.

    Have you tried calling?

  • Check user name on selection screen

    Dear all,
    I have been able to make a field mandatory on a selection screen. This is field username. However, the system does not check if the user exists.
    What I have done is made a copy of the program behind LX16: RLINV015
    Now I have ZLX16 and ZRLINV015
    I know the SAP users are found in tabel USR02, so I have added this table under data definition where the other tables are mentioned.
    How do I enforce that only existing usernames are entered?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Marcin,
    I really appreciate your answer, it brought me somewhere. However, the code I pasted is addeing a new field, whereas I really need the user name in field LINK-UNAME, otherwise my inventory document is not getting the user name.
    I have tried the following to achieve this:
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
      SELECT SINGLE bname FROM usr02 INTO link-uname
                                     WHERE bname = pa_user
    This was however not doing the job.
    Do you have any more suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Nick

  • How to send a Workitem to User Group through WorkFlow

    Hi,
    I am developing a WorkFlow, in this i have an issue that i have to send a WorkItem to User Group on Certain condition. On Agent Assignment I want to assign User Group not a single or multiple Users.
    Could anyone resolve this issue. How can i resolve in WorkFlow.
    Harkesh Dang

    hi Harkesh,
    During agent assignment use Organizational unit -> All users in that organizational unit will receive workitem.
    Use Role -> All users having that role will receive workitem.
    Use Job/Position -> All users assigned to job/position ca receive workitem.
    Or else use expression -> Pass the user name through some selection criteria using a background method. Loop it. Create a task and workflow container and make sure that in properties tab multiline is checked.
    Hope it works.
    Regards,
    Raj

  • I cant upload through muse's uploaed to ftp host. And it is so slow! I have the correct password, ftp server, and user name frustrating!!

    I cant upload through muse's uploaed to ftp host. And it is so slow! I have the correct password, ftp server, and user name frustrating!!

    What version of Muse are you using? If it's not 2014.2, please go to the Creative Cloud Desktop App or creative.adobe.com and update.
    The FTP login failure is most likely due to your host not supporting FTP Extended Passive Mode. In Muse 2014.2 switch to "Passive (PASV)" in the Connect to FTP Server dialog.
    Regarding performance, how large is your site (in pages and megabytes)? How many Design view tabs are open? What specific operations are slow?
    If you'd like to send your .muse file, I'll take a look and attempt to isolate the cause of slow performance. Please send me the .muse file at [email protected] along with a link to this thread. If the file is larger than 20Mb you can use a service like Adobe SendNow, Dropbox, WeTransfer, etc. Thanks.

  • Two user names same email, forgotten password link...

    Today I signed up and created an account. I realized only after signing up that I had previously created an account (w/same email). I am trying to get the lost password to my original account /user name, however, after multiple attempts requesting "forgotten password" the reset password keeps linking to today's account. How do I resold this and utilize my original (old user name)?

    Hi Raj,
    Is this the only workflow which is not working?
    Three important things you need to consider....
    1. Workflow config in SWU3
    2. Authorizations for your workflow user id
    3. Any number ranges which need to be configured.

  • When I try installing Firefox 6.0 from the binary file, a box with "Run As" in the type field appears, which asks me for user name and password. Please advise about the course of action that I should take.

    Trying to run it as the current user, or as one from a different account(administrator in this case) also doesn't work.

    I think the client is not able to do a HTTP POST
    to the WLS server but it can do a HTTP GET.
    I dont know why.

    Hi,
    I deployed a rpc web service using WLS 7.0 SP2 in HP-UX 11 environment.When I
    invoke the web service through my browser (IE 6.0) using the web servicesurl,
    it brings my service method correctly. From there, if I click the invokebutton
    it asks me for a network user name and password under "weblogic" realm???If I
    provide the admin user credentials (which I supplied while creating mydomain)
    it is not accepting that it keeps popping up this network user passwordwindow
    over and over. Not sure which username/password I have to provide here tosee
    the result of my service.
    If I try to invoke the web service through my client (static) I am gettinga connection
    refused exception. I guess either way, I am not able to access my webservice.
    In the attached file, I have cut and pasted the client stack trace as wellas
    the server log trace from weblogic.
    Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ganesh

    Thanks for replying I tried both but it did not work for me instead this command which i extended generated nice results
    Get-ADUser -Filter * -Property * | Select-Object Name,Created,createTimeStamp,DistinguishedName,DisplayName,
    EmployeeID,EmployeeNumber,Enabled,HomeDirectory,LastBadPasswordAttempt,LastLogonDate,LogonWorkstations,City,Manager,MemberOf,MobilePhone,PasswordLastSet,BadLogonCount,pwdLastSet,SamAccountName,UserPrincipalName,whenCreated,whenChanged
    | Export-CSV Allusers.csv -NoTypeInformation -Encoding UTF8
    only one problem is that Manager column is generating this outcome rather showing exact name of the line Manager .
    CN=Mr XYZ ,OU=Users,OU=IT,OU=Departments,OU=Company ,DC=organization,DC=com,DC=tk
