Application privileges

The wwsec_app_priv package allows Oracle Portal applications to check user access privileges before routines are executed, and to redirect browsers to the Single Sign-On Server when authentication is necessary.

Application modules must make a check_privilege call before executing routines because Oracle Portal implements a single DAD concept. Therefore all login routines are done through a Single Sign-On Server component.

Because the PL/SQL gateway executes every call that reaches it, the called routine must determine if the user has appropriate access rights.

Note: All procedures and functions in packages granted to PUBLIC or to a database schema mapped to the PUBLIC portal user, must make this check before further processing if they require specific privileges to be executed.
