Authentication to CR and Xcelsius

Hi All,
What authentication mechanisms are supported by Crystal reports and Xcelsius when connected to Web Serves, i.e. WSE3.0/WCF etc
In what scenarions Win AD will work for Crystal reports and Xcelsius.
Is it possible to setup WinAD SSO for custom .net Web services from Crystal Reports and for Xcelsius.
Thanks in advance for your help.

web services can be set up with vintela SSO (look up key words liveoffice SSO on SAP notes). This will work for live office and qaaws (3.1).
Crystal and Xcelsius can consume WSDL's made in qaaws but this will not enable SSO for the client. Currently SSO to Crystal and Xcelsius clients is not supported.
Regards,
Tim

OSB Authentication using username and password (plaintext or digest)

Hi,
I want to implement a simple osb authentication using username/password (plain text or digest) , so that client required to provide username password token in soap header (message Level security) to access our webservices. I have read some of articles which shows how to create custom ws policy, but received following error during deployment.
weblogic.wsee.ws.init.WsDeploymentException: The WebLogic Server 9.x-style policy is not supported in JAX-WS web services
Please note - I can not install OWSM as part of my requirement

<?xml version="1.0"?>

</wssp:Identity>
</wsp:Policy>

You can use the default Auth.xml WS policy in OSB and be able implement the authentication using username and plain text password.
Just assign the Auth.xml on the Request Policies of the Proxy Service (under Policies).
Then use any user credentials that has access to the domain for testing.
If you want to restrict access for each operation then in the Security tab, under Message Access Control, specify a Role.
Then in the OSB > Security Configuration, create the appropriate role with the specific role conditions like User is User1 or User is User2 etc ...
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Patrick

Liveoffice is not visible in Excel and Xcelsius

Hi,
We have installed LiveOffice. This is visible in all MS Office applications like powerpoint, word and excel for the administrator .
But when I logged into the same system, live office is visible only in powerpoint and word. It is not reflected in excel and Xcelsius. But live office is enabled for all the applications in "Live Office enable_addin".
Please help me resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

I'm experiencing this same issue.
I'm running XI 3.1 with Live Office SP6 and Excel 2010
I used the Live Office "Enable Add-in" tool to enable Excel support for Live office 3.1
I launch Excel, and I see the Add-in for Business Objects Live Office 3.1 is present, however---
it does not appear in the Excel menu bar
and when I try to customize the excel toolbar or ribbon, it (Live Office) does not appear as an available option
and when I re-launch the Live office add-in tool again, the excel box gets un-checked.
Ideas?
Thanks - Phil

Difference between Crystal Report and Xcelsius ?

Hi,
I am newbie to CR and Xcelsius. In most of the articles I read about CR and Xcelsius, I could not understand the difference between these two. Can anyone tell me in simple technical language whats the difference ?
Also, does Xcelsius works only with Excel sheet ? Whats about pulling data frm Mysql to show data ?
Thanks,
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
Xcelsius is a dashboarding tool. In its simplest format it takes data from an Excel sheet and displays it graphically. It is possible to import live data into Xcelisus, primarily through Web service connections and Excel XML maps. It produces swf files (flash).
Crsytal Reports is a toll for building reports. These are reports typically laid out in a header, detail footer format, though there is a high level of control over the display. Crystal Reports will connect to almost anything, Relational DBs, Excel, XML data. Business Objects Universes. You can imbedd Xcelsius swf files into Crystal Reports.
In summary, CR is for reporting and Xcelsius is for dashboarding

Crystal Reports and Xcelsius 2008 Conference

Hello all,
I'm not sure which forum I should be putting this in so I'm putting it in the General Forum. We just purchased Crystal Reports and Xcelsius in the middle of last year and I missed last years conference. Is there a conference anywhere this year that that will really focus on Business Objects platforms? I downloaded the SAP TechED 2008 schedule for next month but everything seems to really be geared only to SAP activities which we have none of.
Thanks in advance,
Ron

Keep your eyes on the following link

Crystal Reports and Xcelsius Installation

Hi I have a mac book pro and wanted to learn crystal reports and xcelsius in a hands on way. I have created a partition on the laptop and am wondering which OS to install - Windows(if so which one) or Linux. Immediate goal is have an environment where I can use CR and Xcelsius with a non sap data source. My end goal eventually is to have an environment where I can use Crystal report and xcelsius with SAP ECC6.
I am trying to learn CR, Xcelsius with SAP ECC and SAP BW. Your ideas and isights are welcome.
Thanks

Hi Otto,
Thanks for the link. Your link will be a good start for me in terms of finding out the major components required to accomplish this 'project'. I am definitely interesting in collaborating and discussing the findings and exploring the areas of opportunity, so lets stayi in touch.
I dont have access to any windows os right now. So I am thinking about installing linux on my mac book pro since its free and probably going to beef up the ram to 3 gb (per my understanding max supported on my 2007 model). Hopefully this will get me going in the right direction.
Any recommendations on Suse vs Red hat. looking for something that is free.
Thanks

Configuring Basic Authentication with Username and password on BizTalk Schema Service

Hi,
I have published my schema as a webservice with WCF-BASICHTTP adapter in IIS 8.0.
I wanted to have a Basic Authentication(User name and password restriction).
I made the Receive location with Security mode as Transport and Transport Client Crediential Type as Basic.
I also set the Service in IIS with Basic Authentication only enabled.
But I don't know how to provide a UserName and Password Authentication.
Please provide your suggestions

Hi,
Try & go through the below MSDN link as it explains configuring WCF BasicHttp adapter very well.

802.1x Authentication on Wired and Wireless LAN

I have successfully configured 802.1x authentication on wired and wireless Lan. We have Cisco Switches, ACS SE and Windows AD.
But i have one issue regarding the Single Sign on while authentication using the 802.1x with Windows Active directory the users that are login first time not able to logon but the users that have their profiles already existed in their PC then there is no issue and they successfully authenticated and login easily.
Is there any way of login successfully for the users first time using 802.1x authentication with Windows AD like a Single Sign On?

We ran into the same situation from time to time. We implemented 802.1x authentication using the Cisco Secure Services Client (SSC) on the windows hosts.
At the beginning we were completly unable to logon on the maschines where no locally stored windows profile exists. After change to timeout to authenticate at the network in the SSC options we are able to logon to the network and also be authenticated by the domain controller.
Sadly this works out often as a timing issue. Most times the user needs to try a couple of times. At the moment, I'm also very interessted in a good way to avoid this (as it seems to be) racecondition.
Hope that someone else has any clue?

Using CR and Xcelsius with SAP BW - what is the minimal installation?

Hi,
If this question is allready asked and answered several times i appologize.. but I'm having a hard time finding the correct information.
Our situation is that we run an SAP ERP and SAP BW solution with a federated SAP Enterprise Portal on top. The users require more graphical solutions for both static reporting and dynamic dashboards. So we want to use Crystal Reports and Xcelsius to provide frontend interface, but we want to do as little as possible backend, i.e avoid installing a full BO server with roles etc.
I appriciate that we need SAP NW EhP 1 SPS 5 to load data directly into Xcelsius and the BO integration kit transports have to be loaded into the BW system for full CR connectivity.
The problem that I'm having a hard time finding anwsers to is if this setup is capable of storing and and distributing the CR reports and dashboards to endusers? Can CR reports be stored on the BW server? Or can the CR reports and the dashboards be stored in the KW part of the portal?
Another partly related question, what desktop tool does the enduser need to run CR reports that updates with data from the BW server?
Alot of customers will have an SAP environment without any BO server/tools. Naturally we want to change as little as possible. A guide to what is needed for each BO BI tool to be implemented on SAP BW would be appriciated.

Hi
for the CR reports you need a BO Enterprise (or BO Edge) installation. The access to the BOBJ server is done transparently for your SAP BW users (they are able to start their reports in SAP GUI) but the reports are not stored on the SAP system rather in the BO repository.

How to deploy Qaaws queries and Xcelsius in multi server architecture

Hi Experts ,
I have developed a very good looking dashboard which uses qaaws queries (Dev ) to get the data in to it . I have deployed these qaaws queries to another server (UAT ) using deploy option in Query as a Web service . But still the webservice URL pointing to my DEV server .
Also , I saved my xcelsisu file to the BO platform (in DEV) and then I imported this file in to my UAT server using import wizard . Now I opened this xcelsius file in the UAT server . In datamanager , Still I can see my webservice URL's pointing to DEV server .
How can I deploy Qaaws and Xcelsius in a mult server Architecture . We have different servers for each environment ( Dev, INT,UAT , PRD )
Need some one help to getout of this problem .
Please note that my output of Xcelsius is in PDF file .
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dirasa

There are several options, and an approach to make the QaaWS services environment independent
1. When you use the QaaWS clinet builder and use the option to Copy to another server, you'll need to select the Advanced Parameters button on the 1st screen and change the server environment referernce.
2. QaaWS services can be captured adn moved with the import wizard and Bair files. You may want to consider this option if you also want to capture adn contriol the QaaWS defintions for change,manangement, release management and source code control and rollback. Moving to an new BusinessObjects environment with Import wizard may require changnig the server environment reference with the AqqWS client connected to the target environement after it is moved.
We have found an approach to make the QaaWS data connections in Xcelsius BO environment indendent and relatively referenced, so when you move Xcelsius dashboards sourced with QaaWS between BO environements you don't need to redefine the data connection in Xcelsius
In Xcelsius data connections, after you paste the QaaWS WSDL on the definition tab, and import the Web Service URL field is populated with a full web service URL path http://BusinessObjectsServer/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/queryasaservice
We have found the after the import you can edit the web service URL and remove the BO server reference at the beginning and start it with /dswsbobje/qaawsservices/queryasaservice .
Xcelsius dashboards in the BOE with QaaWS data connections still works to supply data to the dashboard. When the dashboard run the BOE must assume that without an explict server reference, that it must be the current BO environment. Another advantage of this approach is it avoids the need for a crossdomain.XML file on the BO web server.

BI Widgets and Xcelsius

Hi all,
I've got a vanilla deployment of Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.0 Premium, with some Webi and Xcelsius content added in.
I'm trying to use BI Widgets, and I've found that while Webi works okay (ie can open a report up, drag a block onto my desktop as a widget), Xcelsius refuses to work.
If I have a SWF file in my public folders, I cannot open it at all. If I try to open a widget from disk, and pick the SWF that is saved to my desktop, it gives me an error.
Anyone have any idea what is causing this?
Thanks in advance,
Joshua Fletcher

Hi Fletcher,
I am unable to solve ur problem but I will suggest u to reffer few documents from the link http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/...
I hope u will able to get few benifits from this.

ISE and 3850 3.2.2SE - Authenticating Wrong Domain and More

Hi everyone,
Have been forced in to accepting the new session aware networking commands and I am running in to a few issues. I finally have a service policy that is authenticating dot1x and MAB (we use EAP-TLS for the desktop and MAB for the phone), however I am experiencing two major issues:
When attempting to authenticate both devices, the port has a port-security issue and moves to an err-disabled state.
When attempting to authenticate just the phone with the service-policy, the phone is authenticated in to the data domain. However, if I use a service-policy that authenticates just MAB the phone will be correctly authenticated in to the voice domain.
Can anyone give me some pointers in the right direction? Attached is the interface configuration and service-policy I'm using.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi salodh,
Please find attached the following:
1-Device.txt = The output when only authenticating MAB and one device. As you can see it starts unauthorized and once authorized remains on the data domain despite receiving the correct service template I have configured that allows voice domain access.
2-Devices.txt = This is what occurs when authenticating both dot1x and mab in a sequential manner for two devices. Once the second device is authenticated there is no access session for it, as you can see the port is put in to an err-disabled state.
Thanks,
Mark
