Tuxedo impacting lcount in oracle user$ table on wrong login

On every wrong login to 2-tier application, lcount in user$ table in oracle is updated by 2. If I use 3-tier application using Tuxedo then lcount is increased by 2 more than it was in 2-tier.
Can anyone help me in understanding the behavior of Tuxedo with respect to updation of lcount in user$ table? How does Tuxedo processing impacts lcount of user$ table? Or do I need to check my application code, which might be guiding this behavior?

Hi,
Tuxedo doesn't directly affect any database tables. In fact, Tuxedo doesn't know what a database or database table is!
What may be happening is if you are using XA transactions and you have an error in the OPENINFO string, when a Tuxedo server tries to participate in an XA transaction with the database, it makes XA calls to the database with the OPENINFO string. Those calls are done in addition to any database calls the Tuxedo server application code does. Does your application use XA transactions, i.e., do you have an OPENINFO string associated with the group of Tuxedo servers and the appropriate TMS built for the resource manager?

Locking User account on Wrong Login Attempts

Version : 7.3.4.x.x
O/s : Digital Unix 4.0g
I want to lock a user account on unsuccessful number on logins (say 3). This is not in tis version of Oracle but is there any back-door to get this done apart from O/S. Authentication.

If you cannot upgrade to Oracle 8, then you might wish to consider auditing your database sessions.
There are a couple of steps to ensure this :-
i) in your database's init.ora file, look for the line "audit_trail = true"
If it's not there, then ask the DBA's to put it in and bounce the database.
ii) get a DBA to execute the SQL statement
AUDIT BY SESSION;
or
AUDIT BY SESSION WHENEVER UNSUCCESSFUL;
The first of these will audit all attempts to create a session on the database.
The first of these will audit all unsuccessful attempts to create a session on the database.
Audit records are then added to the view
SYS.DBA_AUDIT_SESSION
You could look in there for users with a certain number of unsuccessful logins.
And if you find any, then reset their password to "suspended000" or something that only you know. That way, they can't use their passwords any more and have to phone up to get it reset.
it's a roundabout way i know, but i hope it can be of some help

How to populate custom USER table with data from Oracle Internet Directory?

Hi all,
We have a Users table in our internal forms application.
I want to populate this USERS table each time users are added in Oracle Internet Directory.
Likewise for modification and deletion.
How to go about doing this ?
I know that it involves Oracle Directory Provisioning Integration Service and we might have to use LDAP_NTFY plsql proc to implement this.
Am I on the right track ? Can anyone point me to the exact steps to go about synching up the USERS table from Oracle Internet Directory ?
Thanks,
Sam

To handle using DIP, refer to the Oracle Identity Manager, Application Developers Guide. That gives recommendations on the ldap-ntfy package.
Handling the operation using OID plug-in will have performance impact on the ldap operations performed on OID.

Many thanks for the response. We are not changing the UID but there are some errors in the script related to file permissions. So just wanted to know will it have any impact on the database if we change the UID.

Select Grant on local Table to the Remote Oracle User

How Can we Give a SELECT Grant on a Specific Table to the Remote Oracle User.

IIRC, the remote user accesses local objects via a schema on the local database. That suggests you need to grant SELECT on the local table to the local schema that the remote user connects by.

Lightswitch-I can't see tables created bya different restricted Oracle user

I am new to Lightrswitch and connecting to Oracle through VS - we usually have a middle tier to do this. We are looking at some rapid CRUD application development so I am looking into lightswitch.
However I have an issue:
I have two oracle users. One has full access to the tables and the other has restricted access. When attaching my Lightswitch application to the database if I use the one with full access it works a treat. However if I use the DB user that has restricted access I can not see any of the tables (even though I can see them fine logged in under the same restricted user in toad ?). Upon connection I have gone into the filters tab and selected the unrestricted schema under the "Displayed Schemas" option to no avail.
My version of Oracle is 9.2.0.7
I also have Oralce OLEDB provider - ODAC92070.exe
I have oracle developer tools ODTwithODAC1020221
Any help would be much appreciated...

I have a similar problem with using ODAC 11.2 R4 (11.2.0.3).
As a matter of policy, objects are never owned by general users. So when I connect as my user in Lightswitch, no objects are displayed.
However, if I add a connection to the server explorer, alter the filter to include the owner of the objects, they display in the server explorer.
If I follow the EXACT same sequence to add the external connection in the Lightswitch dialog, the filter is seemingly ignored and as I don't own any objects, none are shown. Additionally, if I "< Back" to the connection dialog, the filter has been reset to just my objects.
Seems like the filter mechanism in the Lightswitch dialog is being ignored.
Any other reports of this behavior, any workarounds or any idea when this problem will be fixed? It is a showstopper for me.We are aware of the problem and discussed it at length with Microsoft. They have said that they are looking into fixing it in some future release. Unfortunately, the fix did not make it into the Visual Studio 2012 RTM.
If you have a support contract with MS, you could make it known to them that you urgently require a fix and perhaps that could speed things along.
I don't know of a workaround, other than to log in as the schema owner (which is probably a non-starter for you).

Custom user table

Hello,
I'm a newbie to Oracle Portal and I'm currently working on a conference project. We already have database from last year. There we have user table and other tables. I have already created custom login portlet for users to login but I used portal SSO package. Here comes the tricky part: How can I link portal user table and my user table, so I would know the details of a user when he logs in.
The best solution would be if I could use my table instead of PORTAL30_SSO.WWSEC_PERSON table.
Can anybody help me please !?!
Tnx in advance.
Mitja.

How to implement Oracle user/role security with Access front end?

Hi,
We have successfully migrated our Access database tables to Oracle 10g using SQL developer. We've recreated all the users and roles(i.e., access groups) in Oracle and granted rights to tables.
In the Access front end database, in the Database window we have saved linked Oracle tables which replaced the Access tables. The forms, reports, queries run fine with the linked Oracle tables. All the linked table use one ODBC DSN to the Oracle database with the same Oracle user id.
We need to be able to authenticate users into the Oracle database and RE-link the tables based on their own unique user id. By during so we can allow users to use the Oracle standard user id/role and system privileges to control select, update, ect. rights to the database.
I've been able to use the VB code within Access to logon into the database with a unique id, but I have not been able to find out how to RE-link the tables to the unique user id using VB. There should be some way to relink tables dynamically, based on users login into the Access front end.
I don't know a great deal about Access projects, but I do know with SQL server allows login into your Access project and link tables dynamically.
Can someone give me some assistance or point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Larry

We had one of our programmers here come up with a VB code solution for re-linking table within Access. However the relinking takes 3-4 minutes for 100+ tables.
In an effort to help you understand the situation better, I will attempt to elaborate on the problem:
We have an Access 2003 application which currently has a front end using Access(forms, reports, queries, & VB code) and a MS Access 2003 backend.
We have migrated the backend tables to Oracle. However, we still have a need to maintain the front end in Access, since we have over 60 forms, 40 reports, 200+ queries in Access. Its easy to understand, we have a significant investment in the front end(Obviously, the plan is to migrate the front end also at some future date).
In order to utilized the existing front end, we have to validate and modify the current front end connections to the new Oracle backend. One of the features of Access is that you can "link" tables and save the link for runtime. Each Access table can have its own link which is a separate ODBC/JET connection. As such, each separate link has its own userid/database information.
The other issue with using the Access front-end is that Access utilizes a workgroup file to implement user and group security. The workgroup file contains all the users and which groups the users belong to in Access. Then within Access, you allow users access to object(tables, queries, ect) by their userid and or group. When users open an Access database with Access security enabled, they are required to log into Access. The login is authenticated by the workgroup file. Once, logged into Access, users have rights to Access objects based on their rights granted to their userid and groups they belong. The problem here is that when you remove the linked Access tables and replace them with linked Oracle tables, Access has knowledge about Oracle table rights granted to users; nor would you expect it to.
The dilema is the disconnect between Access and the fact Oracle utilizes a similar but much more sophisticated security model. It creates users and roles(which are similar to Access groups), and again this is independent of Access security.
Our solution was to still use the Access workgroup file security along with the Oracle security model. By using the Access userid and then creating a similar Oracle userid with similar table rights granted in Access, you could apply security within Access and also with the Oracle database.
For example, a user BOB logs into Access via the workgroup file, using VB code, Access then establishes a Oracle connection logining into Oracle using the same unique userid BOB into Oracle.
After connecting and validating user BOB into Oracle, then the Access tables are relinked to Oracle using the user BOB userid and table rights.
This Oracle userid has been granted table rights specific for this userid.This allows the user BOB to use the Access application and still be authenticated into the Oracle database.
The problem with this solution is that the relinking of the saved Access tables takes 3-7 minutes for about 100+ tables. This is not acceptable for users each time they log into the application.
Our current alternative is to use one Oracle userid to login each user, and use Access form restrictions/security to allow/prevent users from updating/viewing data. Obviously, this is not the optimal solution in respect to security, but it at least allows us to control access to the data(via the forms) by using one logon required for each user, and quick startup time for the application.
I understand SQL server does a better job in integration, but we use Oracle which is what I am trying to work with.

TimeZone.getDefault().getID() does not exist in your Oracle database table V$TIMEZONE_NAMES???

Hi Everyone,
My Jdev version is 11.1.2.3.0.
I have developed many ADF applications in this version itself by setting time zone as -Duser.timezone="+05:30" and all were running fine.
But Jdeveloper got crashed so i reinstalled the same version but now none of the applications are running.
Its showing error as below:
oracle.jbo.JboException: JBO-29112: The time zone 'GMT+05:30' defined in adf-config.xml or TimeZone.getDefault().getID() does not exist in your Oracle database table V$TIMEZONE_NAMES. Please set an available time zone in your TZ environment variable or user.timezone Java system property.
What to do now?
how will i know wat time zone should be set?
please help the needful...

Error while adding user fields to user table using vb6.0

Hi,
I am adding a user tables using vb6.0 using DIAPI.
I am able to add the user table successfully.
I am getting the following error when i am adding the fields to the table.
"The metadata object for this object cannot be updated, since it's ref count is bigger than 0."
My code is as follows:
    oUserFieldsMD.TableName = TABLE_NAME_ITEM_LOCN
    oUserFieldsMD.Name = vTableFields(0, lCount)
    oUserFieldsMD.Description = vTableFields(1, lCount)
    oUserFieldsMD.Type = vTableFields(2, lCount)
    oUserFieldsMD.EditSize = CLng(vTableFields(3,lCount))
    lRetCode = oUserFieldsMD.Add
This error does not come up when i try to add the field to my table using the vb sample provided by SAP.
Your help will me much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Satish,
The problem is that you added the table and the objetc that you used to add the table is not freed properly. You need to free the object and then the reference count to that table will be 0 - which will enable you to add the fields
e.g
Dim pUTables As SAPbobsCOM.UserTablesMD
'Do your stuff
Set pUTables = Nothing
Dim pUFields As SAPbobsCOM.UserFieldsMD
'Do your stuff
Set pUFields = Nothing

Using VPD in combination with a user table?

I'm very new with VPD's. In fact, I don't know a thing about it yet (I know the philosophy behind it and the principle, but not the practical implementation). My question: Are VPD's always based on database-users? Our applications have a user-table now, where the access rights to applications are stored. Once a user is present in that table and has the necessary rights, he can login to the application. So we don't have an actual database-user for each "real-life" user, just an entry in a table.
Is it possible to use the system of VPD's (and maybe Oracle Label Security) with users stored in a table, instead of actual database users?

TomVD wrote:
My question: Are VPD's always based on database-users? No, they are not. You could for example put VPD policies on tables that restrict access after a certain time of the day (not caring which user attempts to access the data, using only SYSDATE and a given cut off access time).
TomVD wrote:

VPD allows you to construct a predicate as you would like based on your requirements (you are basically appending a WHERE clause in to every query based on the logic you dictate on the objects and accesses you determine necessary).
Typically if you're running through a connection pool (as it sounds like you are) you would use an application context to set a specific value (the logging in user) and then validate that against your Users table in whatever fashion tickles your fancy

Duplicate Rows In Oracle Pipelined Table Functions

Hi fellow oracle users,
I am trying to create an Oracle piplined table function that contains duplicate records. Whenever I try to pipe the same record twice, the duplicate record does not show up in the resulting pipelined table.
Here's a sample piece of SQL:
/* Type declarations */
TYPE MY_RECORD IS RECORD(
MY_NUM INTEGER
TYPE MY_TABLE IS TABLE OF MY_RECORD;
/* Pipelined function declaration */
FUNCTION MY_FUNCTION RETURN MY_TABLE PIPELINED IS
V_RECORD MY_RECORD;
BEGIN
-- insert first record
V_RECORD.MY_NUM = 1;
PIPE ROW (V_RECORD);
-- insert second duplicate record
V_RECORD.MY_NUM = 1;
PIPE ROW (V_RECORD);
-- return piplined table
RETURN;
END;
/* Statement to query pipelined function */
SELECT * FROM TABLE( MY_FUNCTION ); -- for some reason this only returns one record instead of two
I am trying to get the duplicate row to show up in the select statement. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
