I'm able to log-in the application and use any form but when I'm trying to run any report I got following error message on the client machine.

REP-0501: Unable to connect to the specified database.
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

I have attached the picture to clarify the problem.

Will be great full if I can get any kind of help

Waiting for your reply

As i search on the web about this problem i found the problem most probably is related to windows server 2008 security(firewall). So i did the following things

1. disable the firewall
2. add port 1521 in the exceptions of inbound connections
3. add tnslstnr.exe in the exception of inbound connections

But still facing same problem

Any idea????

Best Regards,

I'm not sure that "invalid username/password" has something to do with firewall (though, who am I to claim that?).

As you use Oracle 11g: are you aware that it is - by default - case sensitive when passwords are to be used? So, did you, perhaps, use wrong case?
SQL> connect scott/TIGER@ora11
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

Hi,

thanks for the reply.

Dear i'm able to log in to database, i don't have any issue with the log in. The problem is after log in the application i'm able use forms, i can query, insert, select, update and delete data but when i'm trying to run report from the same form it giving me oracle log in screen instead of showing the report.

i had this problem earlier in a different environment where the oracle database 11g was installed on windows 7 and i solved that by just turning of the windows firewall but here i did disable the windows firewall but still i'm facing the same problem.

Please advice.

Hm. Did that report run OK previously? If so, did you - in the meantime - change password? If so, then - speaking from my very limited 10g IAS experience - on IAS machine there's the CGICMD.DAT file (located somewhere in C:\oracle\IAS\reports\conf directory) which contains reports entries. Your report might also be listed there - check whether username/password reflects current situation.

If that's not the case, I'm sorry, I don't have any other ideas.

Dear,

i did the fresh installation of oracle database 11g(64bit) on MS windows server 2008 (64bit) everything is working fine except reports from the application. Previously every thing was working fine with Oracle database 10g(32bit) on MS windows Server 2003(32bit) with client oracle developer 6i on Ms windows 7(32Bit).

any way no problem thank you very much for your time and help, I'll look for a solution from any other source.

Best Regards,
