Proxy connection revisited

[Ping Kam]

Hi,

I downloaded the new beta to try out this proxy connection feature. I didn't do much testing (just connect a user through this proxy and do a select user from dual) and it seems to work. However, we have some suggestions.

First, the proxysession property is public and not published. It works but is not user friendly. We can't do any test in the IDE using the client schema through the proxy session at design time. This is not a big issue as we can always test at run time.

Second, your help file states that the password of the client session must be blank. Since Oracle supports proxy connection authenication using password, we want to leave it to the db (Oracle). This is more critical to us so can you modify the component so it will include the password if it is not blank?

We will support proxy connection authentication using password feature at the next build.
As to your question about property scope, we think that this feature is quite specific and it's not necessary to publish it.

Great. Look forward to your next build, hopefully before the new year.

Sorry to hear that but I guess it must require a lot of effort to make it work at design time. It is a handy feature nice to have but can live without.

Thanks,
