Re: Questions on Oracle Web Server 2.0

   Sure !

   You can. However, I need to explain at length. If you connect to a Web administration port (defult 8888), it is no reason to bypass login (You know, it is very dangerous). On the other hand, if the port is provided for public, you can do it by the modification of the authentication method. For web server 1.0, just browse your svxxxx.cfg. If you use web server 2.x, just see svcccc.cfg. You will see something like:

   (Groups)
   dba: admin
   (Realms)
   Admin Server: dba
   }
   ;
   [Protection]
   /ows-abin/ Basic(Admin Server

   This is the way to protect your web server by supplying a username and password.

   As a result, you can alter the authentication to by removing the above settings through Web server administration port or editing manually.

   You can use digest and basic authentication for your case. Please refer to related document for detail.
