The PL/SQL Gateway provides a Web page for configuring Database Access Descriptors (DADs). A DAD is a set of values that specify how the PL/SQL Gateway connects to a database server to fulfill an HTTP request.
You can access the Gateway Configuration Menu at:
http://<hostname>:<port>/pls/admin_/gateway.htm
From this page, you can access the Global Settings page by clicking the Gateway Global Settings link. Or access the Global Settings page directly at:
http://<hostname>:<port>/pls/admin_/globalsettings.htm
The Global Settings page is shown below.
You can access the Database Access Descriptor Settings page from the Gateway Database Access Descriptor Settings link on the PL/SQL Gateway configuration page, or directly at:
http://<hostname>:<port>/pls/admin_/dadentries.htm
A section of the Database Access Descriptor Settings page is shown below.
If you are a DBA responsible for granting privileges to the Database Access Descriptors (DAD) Administration pages, you need to protect these pages from public access. Otherwise, any user can create, edit, and delete DAD entries that control the functionality of the PL/SQL gateway.
