 Hi,
We have an Apex application which when deployed on the DB server and while making use of the embedded HTTP server within the db engine, we can obtain gather information about the application user (client PC) connected to our Apex application, information such as IP Address of client PC, OS of client PC, name given to client PC, OS client PC credentials, etc.

The problem comes when we take this to a production stage where the setup is somewhat different, that is the db is on a sever of its own which includes apex, the http (Oracle http + mod_sql) is on another sever. In this setup all the calls made either via our apex application or from Apex SQL command to obtain information of they application user client PC such as IP Address, or OS type, or Client PC name, etc always return the IP Address of the web server, the OS type of the web server and so on. 

Howdy, Stranger!
