Oracle Sites Cloud Service - Adding authentication to a site

With Oracle Sites Cloud Services, access to any site is Public, by default. If you have to add authentication, there is a very simple way to achieve it: First, we assume that authentication will be against the existing Identity Domain provided with the tenant. In a dedicated page of a site, called Login for instance, we add an App component which embeds an URL to any folder of Documents Cloud Service. ie: App URL =  https://documents.XX.oraclecloud.com/documents/ embed /home/nameasc Note that the URL will be called with the EMBED keyword . Then we add the App component is a region, and  we setup a height=1 and a width=1 (almost invisible). That's all. Each time a user will navigate to this custom   Login Page, and if the user is not yet authenticated, a new page will splash on the screen, asking for credentials. Once login and pasword are provided by the user, the page disapears and return to custom Login page. Optionnaly it's possible to add a dedicate...

Oracle Sites Cloud Service - Apps

It's possible to add kinds of widgets (named APPS) inside any page of a site built with Oracle Sites Cloud Service (SCS). Any app is materialized by two URL: a Renderer Url which will render any HTML fragment inside an iframe tag at runtime a settings url which will be rendrered at design time in the settings menu. all URLs must be called through https (meaning that the called server has to be ssl enabled) In the following samples, we integrate: a dummy app (a simple html page produced with node.js) which demonstrates the parameteres caried by the Sites Cloud engine when calling the backend server,  a regular Apex report or form,  a custom report which calls a rest api generated by Apex /ORDS Sample node.js server.js below is a sample of parameter values get from a dummy node.js server Main call id=26e45e21-dbb6-4877-9886-482b37213d2f instance=eyJpbnN0YW5jZWlkIjoiQTI0NUNFNUNFNjA5MjE1REZBRTA2RTQyRjExOThBNThFNzc4RDc5NzFDMkIiLCJzaWduZGF0ZSI6IjE0NTAxMDg1M...

Livres et films sur le Pérou

Conquistadors (2009) – Eric Vuillard (récit de la conquête, centré sur le personnage de F. Pizzaro) Très bien Traité dans un style poétique assez inhabituel. J'ai immédiatement pensé aux monologues intérieurs du film "La ligne rouge". Les Incas (1962) – Alfred Metraux A lire en priorité (“Adoubé” par Claude Lévi-Strauss qui a préfacé ce livre). Écrit dans un Français parfait. Relation de la découverte et conquête du Pérou (1571) – Pedro Pizzaro (le neveu de Francisco Pizzaro qui a été un témoin direct de la bataille de Cajamarca) intéressant A lire obligatoirement, puisqu'il s'agit d'une témoignage de première main, mais, quand-même !... des chroniqueurs d'un autre calibre entouraient Cortès. A retenir: La fin du récit qui frise le comique quand on assiste à toutes les embrouilles entres les conquistadors. Les Incas Peuple du Soleil – Carmen Bernand – Collection découverte Gallimard (1988) Très bien Riche en illustrati...
