ADF integration with AD

managed BEANFeb 26 2016 — edited Feb 29 2016

Hello experts

Very respectfully i come to you wishing some expertise clarifications.

I am researching about users login in ADF application (Jdev 12.1.3, but will update to 12.2.1) with AD credentials.

Standard way to make LDAP calls in ADF

http://java2go.blogspot.pt/2012/05/oracle-adf-with-sso-definitive-guide.html

I´m new at ADF and don´t have a minimal ideia about security logins.

What i need is to know if it´s possible to authenticate in ADF applications with AD username and password.

For what i saw, the answer is yes. But they start mentioning OIM, OID, ADFS, OVD, LDAP, etc..., and this got me confused like: OIM, OID and ADF - Confused!!!

So this got me to the very begining: The only way to achieve the ADF logins with ADUsers is with the above mentioned technologys?

My requirement is to get users login in the ADF application with the same credentials as stored in AD, but without the need to copy them to weblogic (with some provider), nor with the use of any aditional cost expensive tecnhology. Is it possible? How? Any tutorials well detailed would be nice to me.

I also need to be able to manage/create the groups/roles for each user for ADF application wich differ of AD roles/groups.

Hope to made my self clear.

Thanks everyone.

Regards,

Carlos

Horrible. All of it.

Using an outdated Web Toolkit API.

Not using bind variables, leaving open a giant security hole.

And using the same magnificent reasoning that made your code so horrible, and applied it to posting a PL/SQL question in a forum that EXPLICITLY states No Product Questions.

You can use owa_util.bind_variables to open a cursor for a query string with multiple binds and pass the resulting cursor to owa_util.listprint, but beware of implicit conversions, e.g.

DECLARE
  PROCEDURE init_owa
  IS
      l_names owa.vc_arr;
      l_values owa.vc_arr;
  BEGIN
      l_names (1) := 'DUMMY_NAME';
      l_values (1) := 'DUMMY_VALUE';
      owa.init_cgi_env (
        num_params => l_names.COUNT,
        param_name => l_names,
        param_val => l_values);
  END init_owa;
  PROCEDURE dump_owa
  IS
      l_page htp.htbuf_arr;
      l_rows INTEGER := 99999999;
  BEGIN
      owa.get_page (
        thepage => l_page,
        irows => l_rows);
      FOR i IN 1 .. l_rows LOOP
        dbms_output.put_line (l_page (i));
      END LOOP;
  END dump_owa;
BEGIN
  init_owa;
  DECLARE
      p_deptno dept.deptno%TYPE := 10;
  BEGIN
      owa_util.listprint (
        p_thecursor =>
            owa_util.bind_variables (
              thequery =>
                  q'{SELECT DISTINCT job, job || ' - ' || INITCAP (job), NULL }' ||
                  q'{FROM emp WHERE deptno = TO_NUMBER (:b_deptno)}',
              bv1name => 'b_deptno',
              bv1value => TO_CHAR (p_deptno)),
        p_cname => 'p_cname',
        p_nsize => 99,
        p_multiple => TRUE);
  END;
  dump_owa;
END;

LOL well thanks for that. Actual feedback on the issue would have been nice..But I guess thats constructive criticism....or just being a d!ck...idk...especially that early in the morning too...amazing.

-- Doing the best with what I've got

-- You really could have just suggested  using owa_util.bind_variables as @padders suggested.

-- Yea I figured it was the wrong area to post in. I did search around for the correct spot but the site is a little tough to navigate ( I don't spend my entire day on here )

But thanks for that..It did make me laugh

Sorry about that

Thanks for the help. I'll take a look and dissect. This should work, especially utilizing ow_util.bind_variables function.

Thanks a lot
