Understanding the Flow when EBS R12.2 URL is entered in the Browser

Understanding the Flow when EBS URL is entered in the Browser


In this post, I am going to share what happens when we enter an EBS URL in a browser . 


















When a HTTP request is made for EBS, the clinet system will first check the hostname and port is reachable or not.Then request is received by the Oracle HTTP Server (OHS).
When the configuration of OHS is for a resource that needs to be processed by Java, such as logging into EBS, the OHS configuration will redirect the request to the Web Logic Server (WLS) Java process (OACore in this case).
WLS determines the J2EE application that should deal with the request, which is called "oacore".
This J2EE application needs to be deployed and available for processing requests in order for the request to succeed. The
J2EE application needs to access a database and does this via a datasource which is configured within WLS.


Login HTTP headers
When the EBS login works OK, the browser will be redirected to various different URLs in order for the login page to be
displayed. The page flow below shows the URLs that will be called to display the login page:


/OA_HTML/AppsLogin
EBS Login URL
/OA_HTML/AppsLocalLogin.jsp
Redirects to local login page
/OA_HTML/RF.jsp?
function_id=1032925&resp_id=-1&resp_appl_id=-1&security_group_id=0&lang_code=US&oas=3TQG_dtTW
bxji7iwlQUg

Renders the login page

The URLs after the user enters username and password, then clicks the "login" button are shown below:

/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?
page=/oracle/apps/fnd/sso/login/webui/MainLoginPG&_ri=0&_ti=640290175&language_code=US&reques
/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=OANEWHOMEPAGE
/OA_HTML/RF.jsp?function_id=MAINMENUREST&security_group_id=0

Renders user home page

Once the users home page is displayed, the logout flow also redirects to several different URL before returning to the login page:

/OA_HTML/OALogout.jsp?menu=Y
Logout icon has been clicked
/OA_HTML/AppsLogout
/OA_HTML/AppsLocalLogin.jsp?langCode=US&_logoutRedirect=y
Redirects to the login page
/OA_HTML/RF.jsp?
function_id=1032925&resp_id=-1&resp_appl_id=-1&security_group_id=0&lang_code=US&oas=r6JPtR7-
a4n5U2H3--ytEg..&params=1JU-PCsoyAO7NMAeJQ.9N6auZoBnO8UYYXjUgSPLHdpzU3015KGHA668whNgEIQ4

Renders login page again

WebLogic migration to OCI using WDT tool

WebLogic migration to OCI using WDT tool Oracle WebLogic Deploy Tool (WDT) is an open-source project designed to simplify and streamline the management of Oracle WebLogic Server domains. With WDT, you can export configuration and application files from one WebLogic Server domain and import them into another, making it a highly effective tool for tasks like migrating on-premises WebLogic configurations to Oracle Cloud. This blog outlines a detailed step-by-step process for using WDT to migrate WebLogic resources and configurations. Supported WLS versions Why Use WDT for Migration? When moving Oracle WebLogic resources from an on-premises environment to Oracle Cloud (or another WebLogic Server), WDT provides an efficient and reliable approach to: Discover and export domain configurations and application binaries. Create reusable models and archives for deployment in a target domain. Key Pre-Requisites Source System: An Oracle WebLogic Server with pre-configured resources such as: Applica...

How to Validate TDE Wallet Password in Oracle Database

How to Validate TDE Wallet Password in Oracle Database Validating the Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) wallet password is crucial, especially when ensuring that the password is correct without using the OPEN or CLOSE commands in the database. This blog post explains a straightforward method to validate the TDE password using the mkstore utility. Steps to Validate TDE Wallet Password Follow these steps to validate the TDE wallet password: Step 1: Copy the Keystore/Wallet File Navigate to your existing TDE wallet directory. Copy only the ewallet.p12 file to a new directory. If a cwallet.sso file exists, do not copy it . The absence of cwallet.sso ensures that the wallet does not use auto-login, forcing the utility to prompt for the password. Step 2: Validate Using mkstore Use the mkstore utility to check the contents of the wallet file. The mkstore utility will prompt you for the TDE wallet password, allowing you to validate its correctness. Command Syntax To display the conten...
