Username/Password for Oracle Portal Schema

Question

hi,
I've found a way to change the complete layout of the portal pages (was my request yesterday) by using the Dreamweaver MX extension for building unstructured UI templates but in the configuration of the web service to use, I have to set some values, in brief the schema's username and password and it's written that I can read the Oracle AS documentation to know how to find out these 2 values but I'm reading it since yesterday and I can't find a way to get them.
Does anyone knows how I could?
Thanks.

The value of the portal schema passwrod is stored in Oracle Internet Directory. You could use Oracle Directory Manager to query this or try this shell script for unix:
#!/bin/ksh
echo "\n================================"
echo "\n Get Schema Password From OID"
echo "\n================================"
echo "\nEnter the password of the cn=orcladmin user (usually the ias installation password): \c"
stty -echo
read OIDPW
stty echo
if [[ -z $OIDPW ]]; then
echo "OID Admin password required!"
else
echo "\nEnter the name of the Host on which OID is installed : \c"
read OIDHOST
if [[ -z $OIDHOST ]]; then
echo "No OID host specified!"
else
echo "\nEnter the OID Listen Port (default 3060): \c"
read OIDPORT
if [[ -z $OIDPORT ]]; then
echo " - No OID Port specified, using default"
OIDPORT=3060
fi
echo "\nEnter the desired Oracle schema name (default orasso): \c"
read DBUSERNAME
if [[ -z $DBUSERNAME ]]; then
echo " - No schema value entered, using default"
DBUSERNAME=orasso
fi
echo "\nLooking up the ${DBUSERNAME} schema password from $OIDHOST:$OIDPORT"
echo "\n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>"
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/ldapsearch -h $OIDHOST -p $OIDPORT -D "cn=orcladmin" -w "$OIDPW" -b "cn=IAS Infrastructure Databases,cn=IAS,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext" "orclResourceName=$DBUSERNAME" orclpasswordattribute
echo "\n<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<"
fi
