Issues in Logging directly into forms via the f60cgi in 11.5.10

It is possible to login however this method should only be used whendebugging problems.

1. Backup and open $APPL_TOP/admin/_.xml context file

2. Update the context variable: s_appserverid_authentication

By default in 11.5.10, this is set to SECURE. In previous 11i versions, this was set to OFF.
For debug purposes, you can use ON or OFF.
Modes: - ON : Partial
- SECURE : activates full server security (SECURE mode)
- OFF : deactivates server security

3. Run Autoconfig to instantiate the change.

You should now be able to access forms directly again using the f60cgi call.

4. After you have finished your Forms debugging,
please reset s_appserverid_authentication to SECURE and re-run Autoconfig.

Alternative option
---------------------
Running Autoconfig is the preferred method of updating
s_appserverid_authentication.

If you are unable to run Autoconfig during troubleshooting, you can run thethe following commands

instead from $FND_TOP/secure directory:

Disable:
java oracle.apps.fnd.security.AdminAppServer apps/apps AUTHENTICATION OFF DBC=host_visdemo1.dbc

Enable:
To activate basic server security, from the command line, enter:

jre oracle.apps.fnd.security.AdminAppServer apps/apps AUTHENTICATION ON DBC=

To activate full server security (SECURE mode), from the command line, enter:

jre oracle.apps.fnd.security.AdminAppServer apps/apps AUTHENTICATION SECURE DBC=

Check the status:
java oracle.apps.fnd.security.AdminAppServer apps/apps STATUS DBC=host_visdemo1.dbc
