Goal
How to enable the ability to login directly via the f60cgi?
When logging directly into forms from the f60cgi in 11.5.10, one receives the following error:
Solution
Accessing f60cgi is disabled in 11.5.10
With increased security in Oracle EBusiness Suite 11.5.10, the ability to
connect directly to forms via f60cgi has been disabled. By default, a user will
see the following error after entering their username and password:
APP-FND-01542: This Applications Server is not authorized to access this database.
This is expected functionality.
Enabling f60cgi direct login
It is possible to login however this method should only be used when
debugging problems.
1. Backup and open $APPL_TOP/admin/_.xml context file
2. Update the context variable:
s_appserverid_authentication
By default in 11.5.10, this is set to SECURE.
In previous 11i versions, this was set to OFF.
For debug purposes, you can use ON or OFF.
Modes:
– ON : Partial
– SECURE : activates full server security (SECURE mode)
– OFF : deactivates server security
3. Run Autoconfig to instantiate the change.
You should now be able to access forms directly again using the f60cgi call.
4. After you have finished your Forms debugging, please reset
s_appserverid_authentication to SECURE and re-run Autoconfig.
Alternative option
Running Autoconfig is the preferred method of updating
s_appserverid_authentication.
If you are unable to run Autoconfig during troubleshooting, you can run the
the following commands instead from $FND_TOP/secure directory:
Disable:
java oracle.apps.fnd.security.AdminAppServer apps/<PASSWORD> \
AUTHENTICATION OFF DBC=hostname_<SID>.dbc
Enable:
To activate basic server security, from the command line, enter:
jre oracle.apps.fnd.security.AdminAppServer apps/<PASSWORD> \
AUTHENTICATION ON DBC= To activate full server security (SECURE mode), from the command line, enter: jre oracle.apps.fnd.security.AdminAppServer apps/<PASSWORD> \ AUTHENTICATION SECURE DBC= Check the status: java oracle.apps.fnd.security.AdminAppServer apps/<PASSWORD> \ STATUS DBC=hostname_<SID>.dbc
