BO Enterprise with SAP NW AS JAVA as JAVA ApplicationServer ...

Question

Hi All,
we wanted to start a test, using BO Enterprise XI 3.1 with SAP NW AS JAVA ...
our environment :
Oracle 10.2.0.4 as database
SAP NW AS JAVA as JAVA ApplicationServer ( EHP1 )
BO Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2 FIX 2.3
the Web-Applications were successfully deployed and are working very well;
Question :
Does anyone have experiences with this setup ?
Is it possible to use 'Windows AD' Authentication for CMC ?
Are there any guides for BO Enterprise and SAP NW ?
How about SSO (Kerberos) and the BO Web-Applications ?
meanwhile supported or is there any other solution ?
Thank you in advance
Oliver

Answer 1

first of all, I'm trying to get authentication via "windows AD" working for InfoView;
it's already woking for the Client Tools ( DeskI );
as you now, we are working with SAP NW 7.01 as JAVA Application Server.
instead of the "bscLogin.conf" I created a component in Security Provider with the same name, as in "bscLogin.conf";
I added KRB5LoginModule to this component ( with parameter debug=true );
when I'm trying to logon to InfoViewApp via Domain User I get the error FWM 00006; when password/username matches the AD information I can read the 'Username(at)DOAMIN.DE' in security.log of J2EE; if username/password doesn't match the username can't be read in the security.log file; there's only a "N/A" visible; so I think, a connection to AD was made and the username/password was verified when the username(at)DOMAIN.DE is readable in security.log;
That's what you can see in security log ...
User: username(at)DOAMIN.DE
Authentication Stack: com.businessobjects.security.jgss.initiate
Login Module                                                               Flag        Initialize  Login      Commit     Abort      Details
1. com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule                            REQUIRED    ok          true       true       true      
Central Checks                                                                               
exception             Wrong username password combination.#
User: N/A
Authentication Stack: com.businessobjects.security.jgss.initiate
Login Module                                                               Flag        Initialize  Login      Commit     Abort      Details
1. com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule                            REQUIRED    ok          exception             false      Pre-authentication information was invalid (24)#
What does this exception mean ?
" ...exception Wrong username password combination"
BTW:
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\kinit <username>(at)DOMAIN.DE is working ( ticket gets stored in local cache ! )
Do you know what I can do to get this scenario work ?
Thanks and best regards
Oliver
