Active Directory 2008 and Crystal Reporting

Hello,
My company is planning to upgrade to Active Directory 2008 R2. But before we do so, we must understand how our servers & applications interact/work with Active Directory 2008 R2. Could you please answer the following questions in regards to your application Crystal Reporting (version 10):
1.     How does Crystal Reporting interact with Active Directory (AD)?
2.     Is there a specific domain controller hardcoded with Crystal Reporting ?
3.     Does Crystal Reporting support Active Directory 2008 R2?
Your assistance and timely response with this matter is very much appreciated. Thank you.
- Peter

Hi Peter,
Crystal Reports is a standalone install on the local Work Station. AD won't affect it. Unless there is some info you are telling us about how you access CR?
Thank you
Don

  • Active Directory Plugin for Crystal Reports Server XI

    Post Author: pkhot
    CA Forum: Deployment
    Hello,
    I Installed Crystal Reports Server XI on a test W2K3 R2 machine. When I try to logon using the Business View Manager or the Administrator LaunchPad, selecting the Active Directory Authentication I get an error saying secWinAd plugin is not available. How do i fix this?
    Is there a plugin available and if yes where can i download it from?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    Did you lon on to the console and go to authentication-> windows ad and enter in your domain info ?

  • Visual Studio 2005/2008 and Crystal Reports versions/upgrade questions.

    I've tried posting this question on the MSDN forums and gotten no response. 
    I've downloaded and installed VS 2008 Beta 2.   The versions on the Crystal Reports files included are 10.5.0.1806  
    I'm currently using VS 2005, with the included Crystal Reports.  The versions on those files are 10.2.0.xxxx.  I've created an desktop app (in VB) which stores it's data in a database and uses the CR 10 runtime merge modules to generate a report.
    I was considering upgrading the Crystal Reports version to XI.  I would like to allow customers to modify my delivered report with their own licensed copy of CR XI.  I am not providing any functionality within my app to create or modify the delivered .rpt or use it outside my application.
    Questions:
    Do I need to update the runtime files to CR XI to support rpt files modified with CR XI?  Current runtime files are being delivered with the CR 10 merge module.
    I see a Crystal Reports for Visual Studio upgrade to CR XI. 
    Can I update the merge modules to CR XI and still use the CR for VS2005 for development?
    Does it make any sense to update CR for VS 2005?  Or to get the full CR XI Developer edition?  My usage of CR functionality is very limited.
    Would there be any benefit to waiting for the release of VS 2008?   How does that change the scenario?
    How does Crystal Reports for Visual Studio fit in with the Crystal Reports Lifecycle?  It's not mentioned on Business Objects End of Life Dates page . Crystal 10 has a Patch EOL of 31-Dec-07.   Does this apply to CR for VS 2005?  Where does 10.5 fit in?
    My main concern is allowing customers with CR XI to change the format of my delivered .rpt to run with my app.  Adding their company name, logo, etc.   My testing show a CR XI report still works with my current app.  But, going forward, what should I deliver and what do I need to use to continue development?

    To use Reports designed in XI, you need to use XI or higher runtime, running them in older versions may work, but you may encounter unforeseen issues doing so.
    If you are to use VS2005 for development you need to use XI Release 2 (11.5) runtime.
    If you are going to use VS2008 for development you need to use Crystal Reports 2008 with Service Pack 0.
    The support end of life for versions of Crystal Reports bundled with Visual Studio are linked to what Microsoft's lifecycle for the product is.  Generally if there is a workaround for the issue that is simple enough, there will not be a patch created.
    The changes you are expecting the customer to do can be accomplished with our RAS SDK which is available without using enterprise starting with Crystal Reports XIR2 SP2.

  • Windows Server 2008 and Crystal Reports 8.5 printing issue

    I am having a problem when using the crystal reports 8.5 report viewer ocx (ActiveX) under Windows Server 2008.
    When logging onto the server through remote desktop, a report can be shown on screen in preview. When this report is printed, and the user requests more than one copy, the printer only ever prints one copy. Is this a configuration of the terminal server, or simply that the ocx control doesn't cater for it?
    I am using the Windows Server 2008 "Terminal services Easy Print" drivers on the terminal server.
    Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Hi Sastry
    I can print multiple pages from notepad without any issues. It is only the print from the crystal OCX control that has the issue. It has it's own print dialog box.
    Thanks

  • Windows Active Directory 2008 And Java

    Hi,
    I need to do the following.
    1. Integrate my application's authentication module with Microsoft Windows Active Directory (Server 2008 Edition).
    2. Need to use Kerberos authentication.
    Can you please let me know what api can I use? Is there a good tutorial for this ?
    Regards,

    Edited by: user10502962 on Oct 9, 2011 12:51 AM

    Finally managed to resolve the problem.
    I tried to do a lot of things reading forums. But this is what worked.
    1. create a key store using $ keytool -genkey -keystore /home/rohan/mystore -keysize 1024 -keyalg RSA --- created "mystore" key store. From the cert file I got the information on RSA and encryption of 1024 bits.
    2. import the certificate the keystore - $ keytool -import -keystore /home/rohan/mystore -alias primarydc -file DC2K8.cer
    3. In the code just added these lines
    env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://myldapserver:389"); // Port 389 on Windows Domain Controller
    String keystore = "/home/rohan/mystore";
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore",keystore);
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword","password");
    4. Change of Password (code provided by stevead )
    StartTlsResponse tls = (StartTlsResponse)ctx.extendedOperation(new StartTlsRequest());
                   tls.negotiate();
                   ModificationItem[] mods = new ModificationItem[2];
    String newQuotedPassword = "\""+password+"\"";
                   byte[] newUnicodePassword = newQuotedPassword.getBytes("UTF-16LE");
                   mods[0] = new ModificationItem(DirContext.REPLACE_ATTRIBUTE, new BasicAttribute("unicodePwd", newUnicodePassword));
                   mods[1] = new ModificationItem(DirContext.REPLACE_ATTRIBUTE, new BasicAttribute("userAccountControl",Integer.toString(UF_NORMAL_ACCOUNT + UF_PASSWD_NOTREQD)));
                   ctx.modifyAttributes(userName, mods);

  • SAP and MS Active Directory 2008

    hi all,
    i want to set up a connection between our MS Active Directory 2008 and the SAP user maintenance.
    what i've already done:
    1. setup a RFC connection with the name LDAP_{Hostname of AD}
    2. setup a ldap system user with auth. mechanism "simple bind" and credential storage "simple memory"
    3. setup a LDAP connector
    4. setup the LDAP server with port no. 389, product name = ms ad 2003 domain mode, protocol version = ldap version 3, ldap application = user, default = true, base entry = {highest level}, system logon = {the ldap system user}
    5. done the ldap server mapping. you can see it in the screenshot here: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/444/mappingoverview20111017.jpg
    when i now try to log in to the LDAP server, everything works fine and i get a green light.
    now when i try to search something over the  "find in directory" application i get an error message like that:
    Operation failed
    Message no. LDAPRC001
    Diagnosis
    This is an error message that is triggered by the directory server.
    It is not possible to analyze the error in the SAP system.
    Procedure
    Check the log files for the directory server (if they exist), to see if they contain more information.
    i get the same error message when i try the report RSLDAPSYNC_USER.
    can anybody help me please?
    best regards & TIA
    strobbel

    Hi...
    Red light Operation failed (Message no. LDAPRC001) - This says Opeartion failed due to fail in search
    Red light LDAP_SEARCH failed (Message no. LDAPACCESS101) - This says LDAP Search Failed due to Insufficient Privileges to connect from AD to SAP.
    So try these ...
    . While logging to the directory server did u check the option "USE SYSTEM USER" ?
    . And while searching the Seacrh parameters should be as below,
        Base Entry : OU=Users,OU=BDN,DC=bdn,DC=xyz
        Filter : (&(objectclass=*))
    . Also check for the user's privileges which is trying to connect to SAP.

  • VS2008/VS2005 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer

    Hi,
    1.) I am using VS2008 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer. Are there any issues I need to consider when developing using both of the above? (or with VS2005)
    2.) The confusion for me is in regards to the SDK. From what I understand from articles etc is that using CR 2008 dev we can use the .NET SDK or RAS SDK for development purposes?
    3.) So downloaded the sample code for RAS .NET from [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/businessobjects-samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/80774579-b086-2b10-db91-ed58c4dda375] and tried "DatabaseLogon_CS" example, as the option. It automatically opened in VS2005 (no problem) however it would not run.
    I would get an error :
    Failed to connect to server "localhost".
    Error returned from Windows Sockets API : 0.
    and line causing this is >>> rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
    Code below:
            string sampleReportPath = @"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Samples\en\Reports\Demonstration\World Sales Report.rpt";
            object path = (object)sampleReportPath;
            // Create an instance of the ReportClientDocument.
            ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocumentClass();
            // Set the location of the RAS server.
            rcd.ReportAppServer = "localhost";
            // Use the Open() method of the ReportClientDocument to open the report.
            rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
    I have been able to open the RPT file by itself. So it does 'see' the database.
    Reason why it would not run?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    If you're using the sample code from our website, make sure you have uncommented the InprocRAS option in the ConfigureCrystalReports method (see below). From your error description it seems like you're using the unmanaged RAS option, which requires a RAS server.
    private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
            /* The following methods implement the same sample functionality in three different RAS
             * scenarios. Uncomment the method you would like to use.
             * - inprocRAS() logs onto a databse using RAS and SQL authentication.
             * - managedRAS() logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from a managed RAS server.
             * - unmanagedRAS () logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from an unmanaged RAS server.
             * Undocument the call to the method which applies to your appropriate RAS settings.
            DatabaseLogon_inprocRAS();
            //DatabaseLogon_managedRAS();
            //DatabaseLogon_unmanagedRAS();

  • BOBJ Auditing - Activity Universe and Crystal Reports

    Here are the user requests.  Are these possible with BOBJ Auditor? There are some sample reports in Infoview Public folders and Activity Universe connection is working.
    1. User and Group access and type of access to all folders and Crystal reports.
    2.Develop a report of the inventory of all scheduled reports indicating report name, location, frequency/schedule and distribution list (include FTP / file location if not e-mail).
    A monthly report would probably be sufficient and would be used to facilitate management oversight of report distribution.
    3.An inventory of all reports indicating report name, location, database connection, scheduled or not scheduled, when created, when last time run, by whom
    4.Automated report for failed instances - Crystal report failures within folders.  Most of the reports are run overnight
    Environment: BOXI R2, Crystal Reports, Activity Universe

    Hello,
    I'll attempt to answer your question. I should point out that not everything you need is an audited event. You might be better served by the Query Builder for some of your requirements.
    1. It is possible to create a list of all folders/ reports a user/group has access to. The type of access a user/group has is not audited.
    2. This is possible (more or less). You might have to move the distribution list portion to a different tab/ report.
    3. Again, I'm uncertain how much of this info is audited. Needless to say, a report that has never been run will have no audit information. Report name and location (i.e. within BOE) are audited. It doesn't look like the database connection is audited.
    4. This is possible and relatively simple.
    Best,
    Srinivas

  • Windows 2008 Web Server and Crystal Reports Runtime 10 comptability

    We have migrated a website that was previoulsy on a Wndows 2003 server using IIS6 and Crystal Reports Runtime v 10 on ASP.NET 2.0
    After migrating the website, and installing the Crytal Reports runtime, we are getting application errors related to Crystal Reports Runtime in event viewer and the browser.
    For one is Crystal Reports Runtime v10 compatible with Windows 2008 Server, IIS 7 ?

    No it is not. You're looking for about a 5 year forward compatibility. At this time, only CR 2008 (12.x) and Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 (10.5) are supported on WIN 2008. See [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567] blog for more details.

  • How to open the crystal reports 2008 in CRYSTAL REPORTS ENTERPRISE 4.0

    Hi All,
    Can you please let me know how can migrated the crystal reports from BO XI 3.1 to SAP BO 4.1 and after migrate how to open the crystal reports 2008 in CRYSTAL REPORTS ENTERPRISE 4.0.
    can you please help on this and if document please share.
    Thanks,

    Use the upgrade management tool to move from 3.1 reports to BO 4.1. After migration, open the report in crystal enterprise 4.0, you will get a message saying that the report will be converted to latest version, will not be able to view from older version after converting. (Similar words- not sure exact words).

    The problematic dc03:
    Dcdiag gives the same output as dcdiag /test:dns
    C:\Users\adminuser>dcdiag
    Directory Server Diagnosis
    Performing initial setup:
    Trying to find home server...
    Home Server = OURDC03
    Ldap search capabality attribute search failed on server NTSDC03, return
    value = 81
    We have an infoblox dns server on ip address xxx.y.y.251.
    first error in event logs on dc03:
    error 1863
    This is the replication status for the following directory partition on this directory server.
    Directory partition:
    CN=Configuration,DC=int,DC=domain,DC=com
    This directory server has not received replication information from a number of directory servers within the configured latency interval.
    Latency Interval (Hours):
    24
    Number of directory servers in all sites:
    2
    Number of directory servers in this site:
    2
    The latency interval can be modified with the following registry key.
    Registry Key:
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters\Replicator latency error interval (hours)
    To identify the directory servers by name, use the dcdiag.exe tool.
    You can also use the support tool repadmin.exe to display the replication latencies of the directory servers. The command is "repadmin /showvector /latency <partition-dn>".
    i have also go several warning 2088, 2093, 2087.
    And errors 1863 pointing to different directory partitions like schema/configuration/domaindnszones/forestdnszones
