Publisher 11g and Identity Asserter
How do you integrate publisher 11g with a custom weblogic identity asserter? From what I have been told so far, integration cannot be performed via the publisher administrative interfaces. It must be performed via configuration files on the server. There is no documentation on this subject yet. Has anyone performed the configuration that would be willing to share their experiences and configurations?
FYI, any attempt to utilize the identity asserter in the default publisher configuration will result in java errors in the server log and a 500 error in the browser.
Any security configuration must be under certified products so you can be confident they should work 100%. Otherwise
any issues you find under NOT certified products may not work and Oracle Support will not be able to help you.
As you describe the configuration you are trying to set is not certified and therefore the issues you find will probably
never be resolved.

Publisher 11g and Printer Tray Control
Using 11g, is there a way to control printer tray selection in a RTF or even a PDF template? From my reading of older posts (2008) on this topic, this feature was not supported in earlier versions. I hoping the latest version is able to support tray selection, even it's hacked solution. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
1) In SPAD under the device types tab, enter your device type and hit display.
2) click on Print Controls and scroll down you will see TRY01, TRY02, TRY03 and TRYMN.
3) click on the edit icon and change the control character sequence that was provide for you. we
are using 1B266C3548, Hope this helps! -
Hi,
We have both BI Publisher 11g and are using EBS R12.
When I create a report in BI 11g, can I download the data model and the layout into files so that I can upload them in the R12 application to be used there?
What are the steps to do that (for the download part)?, knowing that for the loading in R12 we need a text file for the data template containing all the queries and a file for the layout (like rtf).
thanks
RonnyComing back to my own question, with findings so far.
It seems you can not do this.
The tools does not seem to have any functionality to downoad e.g. the data model into a flat file.
And it would probably not be compatible anyway. Since EBS is using a different version.
I know for a fact that f.i. using the Word built-in for BIP 11g to create the rft file results in errors when trying to run it in EBS R12.
Maybe someone has different opinions on it...

Setting BI Publisher 11g in cluster environments
Hi All,
We are trying to set up BI Publisher 11g (as part of obiee11g) in cluster env. following the below doc:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/core.1111/e10106/bi.htm#ASHIA5931
But it is little confusing. in the below table there are so many paths.
Table 15-4 Contents of BI EE Shared Storage
Do we need to create all these paths on a shared location?
for, example,
ORACLE_BASE/admin/domain_name/cluster_name/tlogs
What does ORACLE_BASE refer to? is it the shared path location?
Thanks for your help!

Need Help with Identity Asserter and Authenticator
First I have build custom authentication provider and configured in Web logic without Assertion and deployed as MBean --
Then I build one Custom Identity Assertion separately and deployed on Web Logic with below configuration. Now my problem is that even though I pass TOKEN in header , but still weblogic prompts for username / password . Though it successfully prints Token on console inside Asserter.
Also I have set below in config.xml to avoid

can you point me towards a source of working code examples
for an Identity Asserter?

Questions on Credential Store and Identity Store in 11G
Hi All,
I have two questions
Question 1
About the credential store. Can anybody please tell me what information does credential store stores ? I have read that it stores the usernames and passwords for system accounts, now my question is what are those system accounts? Can anybody please explain in detail with a small example? Has BISystemUser has something to do with that?
Question 2
My understanding is that the usernames and passwords for the users which we have in the embedded Weblogic LDAP is store in the identity store, right? Now if we have configured an external LDAP (now I can sound stupid on this one) where are the usernames and password stored, in the external LDAP or still in the identity store ? Does external LDAP has its own store of storing the user name and password for users or it uses the identity store?
Thanks,
RonnyPlease refer to this excellent post: http://shivabizint.wordpress.com/2012/05/03/how-are-credentials-stored-in-obiee-11g-and-weblogic-infrastructure/
The system accounts that are created with an OBIEE 11g install are weblogic, OracleSystemUser and BISystemUser. BISystemUser is a specific user that OBI uses as the configured authenticator of internal communication among components.
Please mark if helpful/correct. -
OBI EE 11g and BI Publisher 11g integration training
BIP Experts,
Does anyone know of any good OBI EE 11g and BI Publisher 11g integration training?
I am struggling to create even the simplest of Reports?
Or does anyone have 10 mins to give me a quick once over of how I can create two simple Reports?
One using OBI EE as a DataSource and one using a OBI EE Report in the Web Catalog?
Kind Regards,

Combine Identity Asserter and Auth hosts filter
Hi,
I'd like to incorporate the functionality of an auth hosts filter within my Identity Asserter, so valid hosts can be defined per extend client rather than for any client.
In order to achieve this i need access to the client's address within the identity asserter, and i cannot find a way to access it. Is it available anywhere, perhaps via the Service that is passed to assertIdentity?
If it's not available, i was considering other options, such as storing the address in a threadlocal within the auth hosts filter and then retrieving it in the asserter.
Currently on version 12.1.2.0.1In WLS 7.0 you must write an implementation of the weblogic.security.providers.authentication.UserNameMapper
interface in order to return a username from the X.509 certificate.
WLS 8.1 supplies a DefaultUserNameMapper that can be configured when adding the
default identity asserter.

Cause: AccessGate instance creation failed.
Action: See the Identity Asserter/Authenticator log for details.
Level: 1
Type: ERROR
Impact: Configuration
This seems to indication my identity assertion is incorrect. My oam authentication provider is pretty simple.
I am using OPEN transport security so the provider config is pretty simple. I provided an AccessGate pwd, primary and secondary access gate servers and Access Gate name provided by my administrator.
I'm not sure about what the Application Domain field refers to. Can someone provide guidance on that? -
X509 message level authentication - Unable to validate identity assertions
Hi All,
I am creating a proxy service that will authenticate a soap request with incoming x509 certificate.
I configured weblogic server following the below blog post
http://tim.blackamber.org.uk/?p=831
I also setup SSL and keystore tab in the weblogic server by following steps in the the below URL
http://biemond.blogspot.com/2009/06/ws-security-in-osb.html
In my proxy service I am using pre-defined policy "Auth.xml"
The proxy service is attached below
I am running the proxy service from test console. I have a security provider created pointing the keystore and selected while running the proxy service from test console ( no user name/password provided)
I was expecting that proxy service will read the security token and map the CN name correspons to the security token key (my default User name mapper attribute is CN) to an user created in weblogic server and able to authenticate it.
But I am getting following error. Please suggest.

Not able to view any report in BI Publisher 11g
Hello All
I have installed BI Publisher 11g in Intel Solaris 10. I started of from the scratch, created a Data Model, then created a Report. but now I am not able to view the report. Upon clicking the report name or Open it logs me out.
I am logged in as user, weblogic the default user created while installation.
Please help
AshHi Rony,
You may have created the report initially with Web Layout only - therefore there will no paper layout.
To 'get' the paper layout back, select your Report module name from the Builder and then select Tools-->Report Wizard. Select 'Create both web and Paper Layout' and then go through the various wizard steps.
Best of Luck.

Parameter is not working in HTTP( XML FEED) dataset in bi publisher 11g
Hi,
I have used parameter in BI Publisher 10g for HTTP(XML Feed) dataset to have dynamic url which worked by using ${p_url} where p_url is the parameter.
The same procedure when I use in BI Publisher 11g is not working.It does not consider the parameter ${p_url} and throws the following exception
*oracle.xdo.dataengine.datasource.plugin.DataAccessException: java.lang.Exception: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: ${p_url}*
Has anyone faced this issue?
Please let me know if am doing something incorrect here.
Thanks &Regards,
BalajiThanks for your reply.
In BI Publisher 10 g we are using it this way ${p_url}.
p_url is the parameter which gives us the entire URL for the XML feed.
e.g. p_url=http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/topstories
The p_url takes the entire url.
Please let me know if this can be done the same way in 11g.
Thanks,
Balaji -
Inserting a link to BI Publisher report and passing the dashboard prompts
I have an answers dashboard where there are various prompts (say P1, P2, P3, P4 -all these are date prompts )and various reports.
These Prompts are stored as Presentation variable say var1, var2, var3, var4.
I need to insert a Link on this page to a BI Publisher Report. BI Publisher report also has some prompts say D1, D2, D3 , D4, D5, D6
The link should take the values from the prompts of this page and open the BI Publisher report with D1= value of Prompt P1,
D2= value of prompt P2, D3= value of Prompt P3, and D4= value of Prompt P4.
I was easily able to use an action link -> "Navigate to Web Page" option. I gave the URL for this BI Publisher report and clicking on that link takes me to the report.
But I am still figuring out out to send the values of the prompts.
The BI Publisher Report is :
- built from an RTF template.
- uses a SQL Query with Bind variables to get the value of its prompts D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6.
- Suppose D1 is bind variable :date1, D2 is bind variable :date2, D3 is bind variable :date3 and D4 is bind variable :dat4.
So my first try was to append the value of bind variable to the URL
https://xxname.server.com/analytics/saw.dll?bipublisherEntry&Action=open&itemType=.xdo&bipPath=%2FSurvey%2FPhoneCount%20Record.xdo&path=%2Fshared%2FSurvey%2FPhoneCount%20Record.xdo.xdo&date1=var1
Can someone suggest the steps I need to take to make this work.
ThanksHi, I am facing the same issue (OBIEE 11g version0
Please let me know if you found any solution or workaround for this?

CarlosHi Carlos,
Are you still experiencing this problem?
I do not see this on my installation on Windows7 64 bit running in English.
I also set the BI Publisher UI language and Report Locale to Spanish and all three output types:
Interactive, HTML and PDF render correctly.
When you say that the pivot table doesn't show any values higher than 1.000.000 ... what does it show instead?
How do the other sample reports look for you?
Mike
