Login screen at runtime - 10g forms
571725Oct 5 2009 — edited Oct 30 2009I was wondering what the best way to pass in the database name to the application when building a URL.
We've got our own customized login screen with 2 fields (Username/password). In 6i client/server when they clicked on the application to start it up, the registry would load the database name so, we didn't have to do anything. In 10g, that's not the case. The users in our system could either enter it as "username@database_name" for username field or just enter username, and then password field is their password.
I was trying to pass the database name as a parameter, which probably would work. But I'm thinking that I don't want that database name to show to a URL who clicks on a URL. I imagine you folks out there probably have passed a code in, which translates the database name. So I could do that.
I was just wondering what some of the other developers out there are using and making sure I'm on the right track.
Any help or feedback is appreciated.

Chris
