Add "Build Option" to Authentication Schemes

anton nielsen Public · Nov 3 2021

Idea Summary
Allow developers to put a Build Option on the Authentication Schemes.

Use Case
I frequently want to set an Authentication Scheme to enable "Switch in Session" while in development (e.g. to use APEX Authentication) but to disable that when promoted. I can put a build option on the button that does the switch, but a savvy user can still change the URL to use the APEX Authentication.

Preferred Solution (Optional)

This is currently on the roadmap for a future release of Oracle APEX.

    If an Authentication Scheme with a Build Option is assigned to a page, would you expect that the authentication scheme is just ignored if the build option is turned off, or should the authentication always fail and not show the page?

    Hi Patrick. I’m specifically talking about AuthN not AuthZ. If someone tries to switch to an AuthN scheme that is excluded it would treat it as though it does not exist. 
     

    I realize that the “Current” concept becomes a little difficult in this case. Perhaps you can’t have a build on the current AuthN scheme.

    Sorry, misread it somehow. Makes sense. As you say, determining the “Current” authentication will get interesting.
