I'm having trouble with the EPG in 12cR2. In 12.1 and earlier, little demos like this work:
exec dbms_epg.drop_dad('scott_dad')
exec dbms_xdb_config.sethttpport(0)

select dbms_xdb_config.gethttpport from dual;
exec dbms_xdb_config.sethttpport(8008)
exec  dbms_epg.create_dad('scott_dad','/scott/*')

create or replace procedure scott.hello_world as begin
htp.print('Hello world at '||to_char(systimestamp));
end;
/

wget http://SCOTT:tiger@127.0.0.1:8008/scott/hello_world
But in 12.2, all I ever get is
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 401 Unauthorized
I've tried doing this:
exec dbms_epg.authorize_dad('scott_dad','SCOTT')
exec dbms_epg.set_dad_attribute('scott_dad','database-username','SCOTT')
exec dbms_epg.set_dad_attribute('scott_dad','authentication-mode','Basic')
but I cannot make it work.

Any ideas? A security enhancement in 12.2??

Thank you for any insight.

Welcome to the forum. Please read the OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use code tags and make your code easier to read

This works for me in 19.x:
exec  dbms_epg.create_dad('scott_dad','/scott/*')
select dbms_xdb_config.gethttpport from dual;
exec dbms_xdb_config.sethttpport(8080)

exec  dbms_epg.set_dad_attribute('scott_dad','database-username','SCOTT')
exec  dbms_epg.authorize_dad('scott_dad','SCOTT')
alter user anonymous account unlock;

create or replace procedure scott.hello_world as begin
htp.print('Hello world at '||to_char(systimestamp));
end;

Thanks John.
This might also benefit others:

For us, using database version 19.x was not an option (our software supplier supports database versions 12 and older because of Apex v5.0).
In the end, I migrated to ORDS 18.4 to replace EPG. ORDS >= 18.1/18.3 seem to support database (dynamic) authentication, providing a migration path from EPG.
That worked for us.
