Thread Missing-Access Denied

Question

Hi All,
The thread that i posted under the topic 'Access Denied' yesterday is missing in the database forum. This is the link of my thread that i posted yesterday
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2227549&tstart=0
since as i have received replies from the three users for that thread yesterday.. But now it is missing.
This is the error which reported for me
ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL)
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_TCP", line 17
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_TCP", line 246
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 115
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 138
ORA-06512: at "BITECH1.SEND_MAIL", line 23
ORA-06512: at line 2For that the users said of enabling the ACL and this is the reply that i got from the three users
Hi Mini,
There are actually a lot of discussions existing on this topic: you can search this forum and use Google as well.
you may want to refer to the following link:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/FineGrainedAccessToNetworkServices_11gR1.php
HTH,

In 11g the user running utl_smtp et. al. packages needs a grant for network ACLs (access control list), see
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/network.111/b28531/authorization.htm#DBSEG40012
Support note 1209644.1 is also one of the hits on the ora-24247 error.
Sounds like you haven't setup the ACL correctly.
Can you post the code that you used?I have also enabled the ACL by following the referred link by the user.
After that i tried to access the URL which is outside the firewall. If i enabled the ACL means then the URL has to be accessible and this is the way that i tried
Firstly i connected to the user that i have enabled ACL, and after that i executed the below command
SQL> SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 1000000
SQL> DECLARE
  2  l_url VARCHAR2(32767) := 'http://mail.yahoo.com';
  3  l_conn utl_http.req;
  4  BEGIN
  5  l_conn := utl_http.begin_request(url => l_url, method => 'POST', http_version=> 'HTTP/1.0');
  6  dbms_output.put_line('URL ' || l_url || ' was reached successfully.');
  7  END;
  8  / But the error that is returned for the above query is
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29273: HTTP request failed
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1029
ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed out
ORA-06512: at line 5what is the error over here?? i couldnt guess. And also where is my missing thread in DB forum
Thanks
Regards,
Mini

Answer 1

You write that the test worked "before development implemented security" and now you are getting a message that says "access denied". You need to present the error details to the developers and ask them what aspect of
security or permissions are now required. The error message quoted is not complete, there is nothing after "errorType" and no closing curly brace, so we cannot really tell what the problem is.
It is possible that a log within the web site has more details of the request and the failure reason. Ask the developers to check the web site logs and tell them the exact date and time of when the error occurred.
