10.5 OracleAS Forms Services Security Considerations
The default configuration for Oracle Application Server Forms Services does not run
in OracleAS Single Sign-On (SSO) mode. The default configuration for OracleAS
Reports Services does run in SSO mode.
Forms applications calling integrated OracleAS Reports Services using the RUN_
REPORT_OBJECT built-in will not experience any problems when OracleAS Forms
Services is running in non-SSO mode and OracleAS Reports Services is running in SSO
mode as long as the Reports Server and the requested report are not registered in
OracleAS Portal.
Other Requirements:
■ The property, Reports Server, must be set explicitly for all report objects in the
Oracle Forms module.
■ If a Reports Server other than the default is being used, that server must be started
from the command line as follows:
rwserver server=Reports Server name
■ The system variable, REPORTS_PATH, must be modified in the file ORACLE_
HOME/bin/reports.sh to reference the path of the reports to be run.
■ The first time a Reports Server is started, it creates a configuration file called
server_name.conf located in the ORACLE_HOME/server/conf/ directory.
■ The default status of a Reports Server is secure. To change the Reports Server
status to non-secure, modify ORACLE_HOME/server/conf/reports_server_
name.conf by commenting out the tag and removing securityId
from the tags.
■ After making these modifications, the Reports Server must be stopped and
restarted.
■ If OracleAS Forms Services is configured to run in SSO mode, then report requests
are sent with the authid provided, based on the SSO user login.
■ Protected reports and Reports Servers can be registered in OracleAS Portal.
Table 10–2 lists the possible Forms/Reports combinations and expected results:
2 Where reports_application_entity_name is in the format, reportsApp_hostname_GUID. For
example, reportsApp_serv1.us.oracle.com_C7543D42A9E26726E034080020A46EE2
