When you log in to Oracle HTML DB you log in to a workspace. A workspace is an area within the Oracle HTML DB development environment where developers can create applications.
How you log into Oracle HTML DB depends upon whether you have configured your development environment:
If you have recently installed Oracle HTML DB, you need to configure your development environment
If you are a developer logging into a previously configured development environment, an administrator must grant you access to a workspace
Topics:
Once you have successfully installed Oracle HTML DB, you need to configure your development environment as follows:
Log into Oracle HTML DB Administration Services. Oracle HTML DB Administration Services is a separate application for managing an entire Oracle HTML DB instance. See "Logging in to Oracle HTML DB Administration Services" .
Specify a provisioning mode. In Oracle HTML DB Administration Services you need to determine how the process of creating (or provisioning) a workspace will work. See "About Workspace Provisioning" and "Specifying a Provisioning Mode".
Create a Workspace. A workspace is a shared work area within the Oracle HTML DB development environment that has a unique ID and name. An Oracle HTML DB administrator can create a workspace manually or have users submit requests. See "Creating a Workspace Manually" and "Viewing a Pending Change Request".
Log in to a Workspace. Once you create a workspace in Oracle HTML DB Administration Services, return to the Oracle HTML DB Login page and log in to that workspace. See "Logging In to Oracle HTML DB as a Developer".

Note: Before performing any of the previous steps, please review "Managing an Oracle HTML DB Hosted Service" |
When you log in to Oracle HTML DB, you log in to a workspace. If you are a developer, an administrator must grant you access to a workspace.
|
Note: Before users can request a workspace or change their passwords, an Oracle HTML DB administrator must configure Oracle HTML DB environment preferences. |
|
Note: This section applies only if your Oracle HTML DB administrator has configured Oracle HTML DB to support workspace requests. |
Before you can log in to Oracle HTML DB, an administrator must grant you access to a workspace. Each workspace has a unique ID and name.
Before you request a workspace, you need to determine whether to use an existing workspace or request a new one. Your approach depends upon your development goals. Consider the following general criteria:
Existing Workspace. Use an existing workspace if you are building an application based on data that already exists in the database.
New Workspace. Request a new workspace if you are building an application based on data that does not yet exist in the database (for example, data from a spreadsheet or desktop database).
To request a workspace:
In a Web browser, navigate to the Oracle HTML DB Login page. By default, Oracle HTML DB installs to the following location:
http://hostname:port/pls/htmldb/htmldb
Where:
hostname is the name of the system where Oracle HTTP Server is installed.
port is the port number assigned to Oracle HTTP Server. In a default installation, this number is 7777. You can find information about your Oracle HTTP Server installation's port number from either of the following files:
ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\install\portlist.ini
ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\Apache\Apache\conf\httpd.conf
htmldb is the database access descriptor (DAD) defined in the mod_plsql configuration file.
The Login page appears.
Under Tasks, click Request a Workspace.
The Request Service Wizard appears.
Click Continue and follow the on-screen instructions.
After an Oracle HTML DB administrator approves a workspace request and an e-mail arrives with your login credentials (the workspace name, user name, and password).
