Tips for PlsqlAuthenticationMode

Most customer applications use Basic Authentication.

Custom Authentication modes (GlobalOwa, CustomOwa, PerPackageOwa) are used by very few PL/SQL applications.

The SingleSignOn mode is supported only Oracle Application Server releases only and is used by Oracle Application Server Portal and Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On.

If the DAD is not using the Basic authentication, then you must include a valid username/password in the DAD configuration. For the Basic mode, if you wish to perform dynamic authentication, the DAD username/password parameters must be omitted.

For WebDB 2.x applications, this parameter must be set to Basic

In older versions, this configuration parameter was derived from a combination of enablesso and custom_auth

  • enablesso = Yes translates to PlsqlAuthenticationMode SingleSignOn
  • custom_auth = Global translates to PlsqlAuthenticationMode GlobalOwa
  • custom_auth = Custom translates to PlsqlAuthenticationMode CustomOwa
  • custom_auth = PerPackage translates to PlsqlAuthenticationMode PerPackageOwa
  • All other combinations translate to Basic authentication
