Re: Designer 2k and security on the web

Jason,

I'm assuming that you want to use database logins from a web browser. Three suggestions:

+ Web App Server 3.0.1 - allows you to use the username/password from the browser's Basic Authentication dialog box for loggin in to the database. Very handy for the PL/SQL cartridge.

+ Web Server 2.1 and Tom Kyte's OWA Replacement Cartridge, which is available from govt.us.oracle.com

+ Designer/2000 2.1 will allow you to store your PL/SQL in the repository and generate in with your application. It works quite well with the Forms generator, but I haven't tried it yet with the Web Server Generator.

Good Luck.
