Oracle talks about using cookies to maintain state. However, Ive read that coming through a secure server in https, the remote_user environmental variable contains the userid, which can be accessed via owa_util.get_cgi_env('REMOTE_USER'). This would seem to be is a more elegant solution.
Can anyone verify this (that owa_util.get_cgi_env('REMOTE_USER') returns the userid from a secure server)?
Thanks, Mark
