I have a perl CGI script that uses DBI, connects to a 10g database and does some simple stuff. It works.
I want to use Oracle Wallet so that my script does not have the text of the username/password wired in. This is on HP-UX and I am using Apache httpd. I have modified the Apache configuration to use a new OS user when it starts the httpd daemon. I have configured the new OS user to be able to use Oracle Wallet. I have tested that with SQLPlus and it works. I also have run the modified CGI script from the command line as that OS user and it works fine. But... (you knew it was coming!) Running the CGI script through the browser still gives me an invalid login error. I think there must be some environment difference between running the script from the command line and running it as CGI but I can't see anything that looks promising. questions: 1) am I nuts, is there a better way to do this? 2) any idea what needs adjustment? Thanks! Chris Howard
