Some time ago, I have described how to authenticate from Oracle Forms (or any other app) to Apex without prompting for username and password. In this scenario I was using one table for users (xe_users) which was holding all users that are allowed to login to Apex application. All about this solution can be read in one of mine previous postings on Apex theme, HROUG 2010.
Today post will cover a little different approach that come recently on mine desk. A task was to enable mixed authentication for Oracle platform. Task demands may be shortly described as: User need to authenticate in Apex app either with Oracle credentials or one associated with real Apex app.
- First problem is that we do not know Oracle real user credentials and do not want to save permanently any of those values. So we need to check login from Apex session and for that we need another session.
- Second, if user doesn't exists as real Oracle user, placed credentials has to be checked against Apex classic authentication and if they are OK, user may pass login.
The Solution
So, solution may be explained in next simplified steps:- Create interface that will check Oracle credentials
- Create interface that will perform mixed authentication checking (against wished rules)
Java part
To be able to create and run another session from current session in PL/SQL, probably the best way in Oracle is java. This is true because java is officially supported by default in any Oracle database after 9i. For that I have (with great help of mine colleague Goran Hafner) created java source directly in Oracle database. Here is the code:CREATE OR REPLACE AND RESOLVE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "CheckConnection" AS
/* $Header: CheckConnection.java 1.1 03/06/2012 11:10 damirv $ */

Beside in java commented part there is whole description and examples, interesting part of this code is that it support classic JDBC connection (5 parameters methods) as well as RAC or specific part of connections (3 parameters methods).First method doCheckDbConnection, is intended to create Oracle session with passed credentials and perform elemental query (to be able to make this query create session privilege is enough and this privilege is least an Oracle user might have to create connection).
- doCheckDbConnection (String p_user_name, String p_password, String p_host, String p_db_name, String p_port)
- doCheckDbConnection (String p_user_name, String p_password, String p_conn)
- doCheckSQL (String p_sql, String p_user_name, String p_password, String p_conn)
Publish java class
After recompiling class next step is to publish java class through PLSQL code. This is the way how Oracle handle java into PLSQL code. Here is the code for that step:CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE CHECKCONNECTION AS

Similarly like in Java part, there are overload function which are used in the same situations like those mentioned there ... based on JDBC connection type.The End
Hope this will help someone.Cheers!
