Databases :: Oracle - Connection String Without Username And Password?
May 10, 2010
I am connecting to Oracle database from .net using OLEDB.
My Connection string :
[Code]....
I am using above ConnectionString to communicate with database. To make it work, I have to store password (don't want to do that) in session and use it every time I need to talk to db.
1) Is there any other connection string without username and password with oledb?
2) I use "Integrated Security" for MSSQL. How can I use the same with OLEDB - Oracle database?
I'm writing an ASP.Net MVC intranet application which is accessed via handhelds and a range of browsers. My users all have AD accounts and have different permission to our SQL database views/procs depending on who they area. The database also uses CURRENT_USER for horizontal partitioning.
Because of the range of devices that need to access the application I can't rely on impersonation/delegation or the trusted subsystem. I want the user to simply input username and password (same as AD) when the above mechanisms fail.
Does anyone know how I can use AD username and password in a connection string to access the database without creating a set of SQL mirror accounts? I can't login with network service or a sql proxy account because the database needs to be user aware.
In the web.config, how do add a connection string by using a window authentication with the username and password? I have tried like this and it keeps ignoring the username and password
I am currently working on the connection between ASP.NET and Oracle. I tried to search over the net and know there are many ways. Is there any 'normal practice' on which method to be used? Or it depends?
I am starting a new project where I have to use oracle and asp.net. Oracle 11 enterprise edition. Problem is oracle database reside in linux server and application server is in windows. My question is1. Is there any problem connecting oracle from asp.net?
I am executing a long-running Oracle stored procedure from .NET. The procedure takes about three hours to run. Ideally, the user should be able to kick off the procedure, close the browser, and come back later to check the results.
The problem is that the connection to the Oracle procedure is lost after exactly an hour. As you would expect, the Oracle procedre runs to completion if it is executed from SQL Plus. Strangely enough, it will also run to completion if I run in debug mode on my local machine (I start two threads, one of which executes the procedure. I set a breakpoint on the second thread).
Here is my connection string:
data source= (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=serverx)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=TestSID)))
We're migrating one of our sites to ASP.Net. We do not want to use integrated security, which uses the windows account to connect to sql server (not going to get into why, its just out of the question). We created a username and password to connect to SQL Server, and would like to use that username and password, however, we also do not want other developers to see this information (easily read from the web.config).... I know it can be encrypted, but it can just as easily be decrypted by the developers - plus encryption has a performance hit.
I have a query which gets values from two tables which are in different databases.How can I write a SINGLE Connection String which connects to two databases? By the way I am using SQL Server Database
However, the password (which I cannot change) contains an ampersand. ASP.NET throws: Configuration Error: An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line XX, position YYY.
If I replace the ampersand in the password with &, I get a SqlException: Login failed for user 'myUser'. Usually this trick works, but I'm guessing that something is failing because this is technically a connection string inside a connection string.
What should I do here? Most of my classes include code like:
using (var context = new MyEntities()) { // do work }
Update: It turns out that the credentials I am using are a domain account, so what I really need is Integrated Security=True in the connection string rather than a password.
Encoding the ampersand as indicated in the accepted answer should work fine, though I haven't tested it.
I am trying to write a page to read the Excel file provided by the user. I know I can't use the FileUpload to get the full path of the file from the client PC. This give me the problem when I write the connection string for the Excel file:
[Code]....
Without the full path, I can't replace the Data Source by a variable and I definitely can't assume all users will have their Excel files named Book1.xls located in C:Doc all the time.
I only made 1 other dynamic page before, without users. I do remember I setup a read-only user to the database and that was the user used in the connection string, simple.
In managing multiple users, does asp.net's membership & roles automatically switch up the databases connection string upon login? Do you setup hypothetical "groups" of user access permissions in your database (mysql) then associate that user to that group in membership & roles?
I'm just looking for a general idea of what to expect before I start reading.
i have a dropdownlist contaning years..now i want to connect my database by dropdown selection.if i select 2013 it will connect 2013 database ,if i select 2014 it connect 2014 so on..

I have a db connection string 'ApplicationServices' defined in the connectionString section of web.config and 3 Entity Framework connection strings which have the provider connection string attribute with the same connection string as the one in 'ApplicationServices'. Is there a way to reference connectionString in 'ApplicationServices' for the provider connection string attribute of the EF connection string in the web.config, rather than providing the connection string all over again?
As the title says I have a Win 7 64 bit dev machine, Win 2K3 32 bit production box and I run against Oracle 10g which Oracle clients do I need to run? Do I need to run the Oracle 32 and 64 bit clients? And if so what versions?
I need to find a way to connect to the remote Oracle server without a DSN. There are some practical problem for accessing the server using a DSN. I need a way to connect to Oracle server like I connect to SQL Server etc. For example, in SQL server, I can connect directly with server using Servername (IP adress) + Username + Password + DB Name. Any way to connect to the Oracle server like in SQL Server we do ??
