User Login Page

Question

Hi all,
Good day,I need your help.
I am really new to APEX.
I would like to have a user table name 'tbl_user' with 2 columns (user_id, password).
Some dummy data were created, and I do some PL/SQL coding inside the default login page of a newly created application (page 101).
======================================================================
DECLARE
v_USERID tbl_USER.USER_ID%TYPE;
v_PASSWORD tbl_USER.PASSWORD%TYPE;
BEGIN
select tbl_USER.PASSWORD into v_PASSWORD from tbl_USER where USER_ID_ID= :P101_USERNAME;
if v_PASSWORD=:P101_PASSWORD then
OWA_UTIL.redirect_url ('f?p='||:APP_ID||':2:'||:SESSION);
end if;
======================================================================
Although I key in the correct username and password, the page 101 still prompting me invalid credential.
Please kindly advice.
p/s: How can we create a new user registration page instead?
Regards,
Golden

Answer 1

Hi Sam,
Thanks a lot for the reply.
Your understanding is right. When I use the those user I created using 'sys' account, the application is able to login.
As from your explanation, how can we control the login page by referring to the "tbl_user" which is created by ourselves?
The process is just works like a normal login page:
1) This login page can let the end user to register themselves. The data will be stored inside the table "tbl_user"
(user_id and password)
OR
For those registered user, they key in the user id and password, if the password is correct, it will direct them
to certain page.
Hence, the major problem is how can we ensure the typed in login details is referred to our user-defined table instead of the default application authentication?
Thanks for advance.
