authenticating users

I am trying to create a new and improved process using a web interface. This is my first crack at it so I am a little sketchy on all of the details. I have created a package that performs all of the steps that I want the process to include. What I don't understand is that once I create the DAD for the owner of the package I never have to log into the database. Even if I take the username and password out of the DAD definition it seems as though I only need the url and I am off the races. Obviously I am missing something here as this lacks security. What I envinsioned was giving each end user execute privs on this package via a role. Additionaly, I need to pass the username id that is logged in to the package so that I can pull their specific data.

I am using basic authentication in the dad definition.

Version: 8.1.7
Platform : Tru64

All of the end users that will be using this already exist in the database. I apologize up front as I am sure that this is a fairly trivial questions, but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. Received on Tue Jun 11 2002 - 14:50:43 CDT
