Software & Editions Required

• Software• Oracle HTTP Server• mod_plsql

• Editions• Oracle AS Java Edition• Oracle AS Standard Edition• Oracle AS Enterprise Edition


How it Integrates

• Oracle HTTP Server & mod_plsql from Oracle AS can be used to serve Oracle HTML DB

• A single instance of OHS & mod_plsql can point to multiple instances of Oracle HTML DB

• Add entries to DAD configuration file

• Cluster HTTP Servers for Failover


Steps to Configure

• Add an entry to your DAD configuration file for each instance of Oracle HTML DB:<Location /pls/htmldb>SetHandler pls_handlerOrder deny,allowAllow from allAllowOverride NonePlsqlDatabaseUsername HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USERPlsqlDatabasePassword @BXUKpCh0pabnAcDAE+X2P9w= PlsqlDatabaseConnectString localhost:1521:sadler ServiceNameFormat PlsqlDefaultPage htmldbPlsqlDocumentTablename wwv_flow_file_objects$PlsqlDocumentPath docsPlsqlDocumentProcedure wwv_flow_file_manager.process_downloadPlsqlAuthenticationMode BasicPlsqlNLSLanguage AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252</Location>

Oracle Single Sign-OnSoftware & Editions Required

• Software• Oracle Single Sign-On Server

• Editions• Oracle AS Standard Edition• Oracle AS Enterprise Edition

Oracle Single Sign-OnHow it Integrates

• Oracle HTML DB can integrate with Oracle Single Sign-on as a:

• Partner Application• External Application

• Signing on to the Oracle Login Server means you're authenticated to any Oracle HTML DB application using the SSO Authentication Scheme

Oracle Single Sign-OnSteps to Configure

• Download & Install the SSO SDK into your HTML DB Schema

• Alternatively, you can install the SSO SDK into a separate schema, in order to preserve it when HTML DB is upgraded

• Create an SSO Authentication Scheme in your HTML DB Application

• Register Oracle HTML DB or a specific Oracle HTML DB Application as a Partner Application

Oracle PortalSoftware & Editions Required

• Software• Oracle Portal

• OmniPortlet

• Oracle Single Sign-On Server• Oracle Internet Directory

• Editions• Oracle AS Standard Edition• Oracle AS Enterprise Edition

Oracle PortalHow it Integrates

• Oracle Portal can be used as a launch point for Oracle HTML DB Applications which are integrated with Oracle SSO

• The OmniPortlet can display any Oracle HTML DB Report of type XML as a table, chart, news items, bullets, or in a form

• OmniPortlets can drill-down into Oracle HTML DB applications

• Page Parameters can be passed to the OmniPortlet in order to filter the results from Oracle HTML DB

Oracle PortalSteps to Configure

• Create a SQL Report in HTML DB• Ensure the the Report Title and Column Titles contain no

spaces (DeptNo instead of Dept No)

• Change the Report Template to export: XML• Create an OmniPortlet of type XML• Supply the URL for the page with your Oracle HTML

DB XML Report for the XML URL• Specify the Filter, View and Layout parameters

• Under View, select "Don't Cache the Portlet Content" to ensure that you don't see stale data in Oracle Portal

Oracle Internet DirectorySoftware & Editions Required

• Software• Oracle Internet Directory

• Editions• Oracle AS Standard Edition with Identity

Management Option• Oracle AS Enterprise Edition

Oracle Internet DirectoryHow it Integrates

• Oracle HTML DB Users & Groups can be stored in Oracle Internet Directory (OID)

• OID can be synchronized with MS Active Directory

• OID Groups can be referenced in Oracle HTML DB Authorization Schemes to restrict access to Oracle HTML DB applications and/or components

• Users can manage their own account (change their password, edit their profile) via OID

• Administrators can enforce security policies (password settings & expiration dates, etc) via OID

Oracle Internet DirectorySteps to Configure

• Create an Authorization Scheme based on a PL/SQL Function Returning BOOLEAN

• Associate the Authorization Scheme with a page or page component in HTML DB

• Sample function call:

return wwv_flow_ldap.is_member (:APP_USER, null, 'cn=users, dc=somedomain, dc=com', 'oidserver.somedomain.com', '389', 'SAMPLE_APP_ADMINS', 'cn=Groups, dc=somedomain, dc=com');

Oracle ReportsHow it Integrates

• Oracle HTML DB applications can directly call Oracle Reports to produce PDF output

• Parameters can be passed to the Report

Oracle ReportsSteps to Configure

• Create and deploy and Oracle Report on your Oracle AS server

• Build an HTML DB Application that will call the Oracle Report

• /reports/rwservlet?module=orders.rdf&userid=sspendol/oracle@syracuse&destype=cache&desformat=PDF&p_order_id=&P29_ORDER_ID.

• You can optionally secure the report and not pass username & password via the URL

• You can optionally store parameters in a table to prevent URL tampering
