when i open my forms application, which is developed in forms 10g
it first opens a browser which will have URL like below given one:

https://app.company_name.com:1234/forms/frmservlet?form=first_form.fmx&otherparams=connectRow%3SAASZgPFFAGAAAgXVAAA

then it opens the application.

when i close the form, this web browser also get closed or vice versa.

again when i open forms application, it opens web browser with below URL which is different from above one and then forms application

https://app.company_name.com:1234/forms/frmservlet?form=first_form.fmx&otherparams=connectRow%3SAASZgPFFAGAAAgXVAAB

you can see difference in AAgXVAAA and AAgXVAAB in the URL

i want to know how this URL is assigned each time i open the application??

FYI - i dont insert id ,password. it directly logs me in using my windows id.

does every application user will get separate URL assigned??

will same URL like AGAAAgXVAAA be assigned to more than one user at a time??

thanks

hi,

i wrote similar question in other post. anyway i didnot get any reply for that question.

my new question is:

when i open my forms application by double clicking a shortcut,
it first opens a browser which will have URL like below given one:

https://app.company_name.com:1234/forms/frmservlet?form=first_form.fmx&otherparams=connectRow%3SAASZgPFFAGAAAgXVAAA

then it opens the application.

if i copy the URL and open other IE browser and paste the URL and change the countrow% in URL to 3SAASZgPFFAGAAAgXVAAB it logs me in as other person. that too in production. which is a security issue.

so i want to know how to solve this issue.
how is OAS or oracle HTTP server is assigning these URL's??

and how to stop this??

few end users got this issue. their application was hung up and when they again opened the application, they logged in as other person.

to replicate the issue , i played trial and error and i could log in as other person when i changed URL .

does single sign on helps in solving this issue? does single sign on works only when i enter login id and password??

because in my case i didnt give any login , i directly gave the URL in browser and hit enter which opened application with other employees name.

i saw formconfig file which had single sign on as false for some setting. i think this is creating problem as SSO is used for authentication.

i might be wrong though

i appreciate your help

thanks

Hi,

I don`t know how your application work, but how you start it?
For me when i start my application i click on a shortcut file on my desktop and it open the application using the link in the shortcut. But this is a static URL. But for you if you get a different URL each time you start it, it must be some kind of program that generate your URL to call the browser.

What version of application Server you are using?

From what i know the parameter "connectRow" is not an oracle parameter. But it seem to be a user defined parameter so probably your form is using it maybe in the pre-form trigger.

Sorry but i can`t help you more without more info.
