1) User Should Authenticate from Custom Table

  • Create an Authentication Scheme and set Scheme Type to Custom.
  • Implement the Authentication Function and place the code in the PL/SQL Code section. The function is supplied with the username and password entered from the login page. Use that to verify a match. ALWAYS encrypt users' passwords. Function returns true or false depending on the result.

Below is the sample code available and copied from the help text in the Page Builder:

function my_authentication (
    p_username in varchar2,
    p_password in varchar2 )
    return boolean
is
    l_user my_users.user_name%type := upper(p_username);
    l_pwd  my_users.password%type;
    l_id   my_users.id%type;
begin
    select id  , password
    into l_id, l_pwd
    from my_users
    where user_name = l_user;
    return l_pwd = rawtohex(sys.dbms_crypto.hash (
                    sys.utl_raw.cast_to_raw(p_password||l_id||l_user),
                    sys.dbms_crypto.hash_sh512 ));
exception
    when NO_DATA_FOUND then return false;
end;
  • Set the Authentic Function to my_authentication

2) After Authentication User should be authorize to application as per Assigned Role in Custom Table

  • Again in the PL/SQL code region, implement a post-authentication procedure, e.g. post_login, that retrieves the user's role and either adds them to an Application Item or to an APEX collection.
  • Add the procedure name to the field Post-Authentication Procedure Name, e.g. post_login.
  • Create Authorization Schemes based on the values above.

OR

Simply create an Authorization Scheme that simply queries the same information on the fly, though there's probably a small performance hit depending on how often these authorizations are called.

3) User Must have Authorize for READ,INSERT,UPDATE and DELETE Operation from Table

  • You can limit pages, page items (read-only or editable), buttons and processes based on the Authorization Schemes.
  • Depending on your Oracle License, you can also implement Oracle Real Application Security (RAS) or Virtual Private Databases (VPD) to manage access at the "database-level" and that is definitely more secure.
