I have an Oracle Forms Web Application which runs on an applet. The login screen is the default Oracle Login form containing Username, Password and Database fields.
Is there any way to auto populate the Username and Database fields based on the URL so that users just need to enter the password every time they open the application?
Thanks.
You can call the LOGON buil-in on On-Logon trigger for this, example is below:
Write a form level On-Logon Trigger as following:
LOGON('yourusername','#dbstring');

I have a SSRS report for which the Datasource is connected via Database credentials. Now I wanted to restrict a parameter dropdown based on the user using the report.
I tried impersonating the user but it didnt work.
I tried getting the User!UserID within SSRS, but it didn't work.
How can I get the Windows login of the user? Is there any other way or am I missing anything?
Edit -
Not everyone in the organisation has got access to the Database, hence we use the Database user login. But we have a table which holds the AD login and using that I need to restrict the drop down lists in the parameter.
You'll have to change the credentials on the datasource to use windows authentication. If this is a shared datasource you might have to create a new datasource that use windows authentication and point your datasets to that instead.
I am creating a data driven subscription and that requires you to stored credentials. However, they want want a link to the report embedded in the email. If the user clicks the link then stored credentials will be what is authenticated and not the actual user.
They would like the user to be prompted for authentication when they manually execute the report. Here are a couple of things I was considering:
I think I can accomplish this by creating a copy of the report that uses a different data source configured to prompt the user for credentials and use the URL to this report to include in the data driven subscription.
I don't think I can do this, in sql update the Credential Retrieval to go from Using the Following Credentials to Prompt the User for Credentials. However, if you switch it back to use the setting Using the Following Credentials, then I will need to reapply the username and password. Not quite for sure how to do that programmatically.
Does anybody else have an idea on how to handle this?
I'm working on a mobile application using ionic2 and I want the users to change their password if it was the first time they login to the application and I was planning to create new field in the Database call ChangePassword and check it value then direct the user to change the password but my question is their another way to do for example a code in that can be typed in the application
If you want users to change the password after first login, you can add a column in database for active users, and try to give the condition as if an user is not active, then lead him to ChangePassword page, otherwise to Home page.
Just want to ask if there is some way to add automatic email confirmation to vb.net website.
I want that user create new account in the website and the website sent the confirmation link to them. Only if the confirmation email is clicked the user will be able to fully register.
I know that there are ways with build in login page from vb. But I'm using my own login. Mainly becouse the database where user connect is MySql.
something like this: http://www.asp.net/web-forms/videos/authentication/implement-the-registration-verification-pattern
Any idea where to look? most of the google search links are with php or to Microsoft Sql.
Thanks in advance for any good link or solution.

basically, when an user registers the account, you generate a confirmation # (I will use GUID), then send the user an email with the confirmation link. the confirmation link is the url of the confirmation page with the confirmation # as parameter, i.e. www.mysite.com/confirmation.aspx?code={guid} . you save the confirmation code in the database with the user account table (it could be in the same table or a separated table). the user has to click the confirmation url to confirm. when confirm, you just need to check whether the code is the same as the Guid in the database.
Basically, the process is the same and it has no much relation with mySQL or SQL Server.
here is an example, although it is C#, the same process, just a little bit different syntax in code:

I have a requirement to generate an email to administrator whenever a user sign up. Administrator will approve the registration by clicking on a link provided in email and database should get updated, without admin to login to administrator console.
I am looking for best practice to code this scenario with keeping application security intact. I can generate email with dynamic rendom value attached to the link(provided in email) URL, but i am not sure how to keep a track of this on application side?
Any thoughts?
You could generate a random validation number when the user signs up, and store it in the database with the user record. Then generate an email with a link such as
http://foo.bar.com/approveUser.action?userId=<theUserId>&validationToken=<theRandomNumber>
When the approveUser action is invoked, check if the validation token stored in the database for the given user ID matches with the token sent as parameter, and if so, approve the user.
