2. Set up user authentication: Configure the Web server to authenticate all the
users that send POST requests to the AQ Servlet. Only authenticated users are
allowed to access the AQ Servlet.
3. Set up user authorization: Register the AQ agent name that will be used to
perform AQ operations using DBMS_AQADM.CREATE_AQ_AGENT. Map the AQ
agent to the database users using DBMS_AQADM.ENABLE_DB_ACCESS.
4. Now clients can write SOAP requests and send them to the AQ Servlet using
HTTP POST.
How do I set up e-mail notifications?
Here are the steps for setting up your database for e-mail notifications:
1. Set the SMTP mail host: Invoke DBMS_AQELM.SET_MAILHOST as an AQ
administrator.
2. Set the SMTP mail port: Invoke DBMS_AQELM.SET_MAILPORT as an AQ
administrator. If not explicit, set defaults to 25.
3. Set the SendFrom address: Invoke DBMS_AQELM.SET_SENDFROM.
4. After setup, you can register for e-mail notifications using the OCI or PL/SQL
API.
How do I perform AQ operations using e-mail?
See Chapter 17 for a full discussion. Currently, these operations are supported by
Oracle Email Server 5.5 and higher. In summary, follow the steps for setting up
Internet access for AQ. In addition, do the following:
1. Create an AQ Internet agent to access the servlet using SMTP. This agent’s
digital certificate should be registered in LDAP. The certificate location must be
specified when the agent is registered using the DBMS_AQADM.CREATE_AQ_
AGENT procedure.
2. Set up the Web server: Configure the Web server to receive requests from a user
called ORACLE_SMTP_AGENT. This user will be used to access the AQ Servlet.
Also specify setEmailServerAddr or setEmailServerHost in the
init() method of the AQ Servlet.
3. Set up Oracle Email Server:
a. Run $ORACLE_HOME/admin/emailrule.sql to create an AQ schema on
the e-mail server database.
