By pass authentication obiee 11g

How to bypass the authentication in obiee 11g? I could not seeAUTHENTICATION_TYPE=BYPASS_NQS in NQSConfig.ini file.
Thanks,
Surya

Hey,
I dont think there is such option available in 11g anymore as the authentication is basically taken to the weblogic application server now. I haven't tried this but below might work for you. Please try and let me know if you have success with it:
Login in weblogic console and navigate to the following location:
1) Home >Summary of Security Realms >myrealm >Providers
2) Lock and Edit, and set the Control Flag to optional on all the providers you have setup. ( if you haven't integrated with any Ad's other than the default out of the box Authenticator, then there is only one place you have to change this.
3) Save the changes, and bounce all the services in order for changes to take effect.
You should now be able to login without entering the password into analytics in theory.
Let us know the results.
Thanks,
-Amith.

OBIEE 11G - Issue passing parameters between two reports

Hi folks,
I am struggling to pass parameters between two reports in OBIEE 11G.
My first report contains the following columns: Rolling Year Type (VCHAR), Year(VCHAR), Month(VCHAR), Cost(Double).
My second report contains the following columns: Rolling Year Type(VCHAR), Year(VCHAR), Month(VCHAR), Category(VCHAR), Cost(Double).
My requirement is to pass the Rolling Year Type, Year and Month values from report 1 to report 2.
On the Month column properties of report 1, I have created an Action Link called 'Drill to Category'. I have clicked on 'Navigate to BI Content' and selected Report 2.
Then on Report 2, I have included three filters: Rolling Year Type is prompted, Year is prompted, Month is promted.
When I run the report I always get the following error:
The specified criteria didn't result in any data. This is often caused by applying filters and/or selections that are too restrictive or that contain incorrect values. Please check your Analysis Filters and try again. The filters currently being applied are shown below.
When I check the cursor cache, the filter values are correct. Does anybody have any idea why Report 2 does not display?
When I remove the Month filter, the report works correctly.
I have since changed the third filter to be Month No and although Report 2 does display, it does not pick up the filter on the Month No.
I initially thought this may have been a caching issue and so I have disabled BI Server Cache but this does not fix my problem.
This was never an issue on OBIEE 10G as I found it very easy to navigate between two requests.
Has anyone else experienced problems with passing parameters between two request in 11G?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Gavin

Hi,
I once tried this kind of requirement(with dashboard prompts though) and hit at similar issue. I later found out that the problem is with the space in the parameter values. Can you please let me know, if the same is the case with you?
Suppose the parameter passed is "Jan 2010", but the report on the destination takes the value as "Jan" & "2010". Yes, it kind of split the parameter value to two based on space. I think we can notice the filters the destination report got, by enabling filter view.
In this case, since you pass only value at a time, could you try placing the parameter value anyway in double quotes? I think the Server then will understand it as one value.
Thank you,
Dhar

External Table Authentication in OBIEE 11g

Hi ,
I have a security table, which contains userid,displayname,group . I have imported Security table in Physical Layer. I'm creating session variables based on condition.
When am trying to logging into analytic s getting an error, invalid username and password . I'm using 11.1.1.6.0 version
How to handle external table authentication in OBIEE 11g version.
Regards,
Malli

Hi fiaz,
That links talks about 10g version.
Step1: We have imported a secutiry table in Physical layer.
Step2: Creating a session variable by selecting initilazation block.
Select user_name,group from security_table where user_id=':USER' and pwd=':password';
step3: created DISPLAYNAME,GROUP & USER VARIABLES in edit target window
After these modifications i was trying to logging with new user, which is there in security table.
I am getting an error that is invalid user or password.
Is there any other changes does it required here.

OBIEE 11g - Weblogic Authentication Denied

Hello All,
I did install OBIEE 11g 11.1.1.3.3 in my personal PC which has windows XP SP3 and I did choose "Enterprise Installation" as an option.
Before installing this I did install the Loop Back Adapter and also set the IP address in the Host file ( 10.10.10.10 Mycomputername mycompany.com).
Installation went through very much fine no errors at all. Analytics page was opened after the installation and When I gave the weblogic Credentials it was Unable to sign in.
When I tried to login to Weblogic Console it says "Authentication Denied".
Checked the services Weblogic Node manager started but Oracle Process Manager(instance1) did not start (1053 the service couldn't start in a timely fashion).
Then I tried to StartBIServices from Start-> Allprograms->Oracle Business Intelligence gave Weblogic Credentials .... 2 cmd prompts were opened and all services are started and also the anlaytics page was opened and gave the credentials again same error "Unable to sign in" and agin tried to login to weblogic the same error "Authentication Denied". This is really strange....
I thought this is something to do with rebooting the system after installation. So I restarted the system and started the services Weblogic Node Manager and Oracle Process Manager (instance1).
This time both of them were started.
Again tried to start the BI services Start-> Allprograms->Oracle Business Intelligence , gave the credentials ... this time only one cmd prompt was opened and it says weblogic authentication denied and its forcefully shut down and Other cmd prompt stopped at WLS.alive...
Here is the Detail Log from Adminserver.log:

Yes, but my username and password was simple and straight its weblogic/password123...
Do you guys know how to reset the weblogic Admin password ?
I want to try to debug this error first...... If I couldn't get any help anyhow I am going to Deinstall...
but this shouldn't be the case evrytime.... because we are facing the same problem in our company ...Where we installed 11g in one of our DEV environments...
There should be a some solution for this problem...
Is there anything that I am doing wrong?
Do I need to provide more information from Logs to understand the problem?
Thanks

Passing Chinese characters in OBIEE 11g GO URL to init the dashboard prompt

Hi Experts,
Currently we are using OBIEE 11g and passing the dashboard prompt parameter values through the OBIEE go url. When we are passing English strings the dashboard prompt is initialized with the correct passing value. However for Chinese character it is not. I am using the URLEncoder.encode("parameter value", "UTF-8") encoding to encode the passing string.
Can anyone tell me what is the wrong in this approach? How can we pass any language strings to OBIEE 11g via go url?
Thanks

To avoid encoding problems use POST method. Here is js example for OBIEE 10g, but I bellieve you will find similar XML syntax in 11g.
function getGoXML(P){
     var goXML = '<sawx:expr xmlns:sawx="com.siebel.analytics.web/expression/v1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="sawx:logical" op="and">';
     for (var i=0; i<P.length-1; i=i+2){
          goXML = goXML + '<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:comparison" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" op="equal">';
          goXML = goXML + '<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:sqlExpression">' + P[i] + '</sawx:expr>';
          goXML = goXML + '<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:untypedLiteral">' + P[i+1] + '</sawx:expr>';
          goXML = goXML + '</sawx:expr>';
     goXML = goXML + '</sawx:expr>';
     return goXML;
function dashboardPageNav (navParams){
     var tForm = saw.createForm("customNavForm");
     tForm.action = saw.commandToURL("Dashboard");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "PortalPath", navParams.portalPath);
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "Page", navParams.portalPage);
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "Action", "Navigate");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "StateAction", "NewPage");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "P1", "dashboard");
     saw.addHiddenInput(tForm, "P0", getGoXML(navParams.P));
     tForm.submit();
dashboardPageNav({
     portalPath: '<portal path>',
     portalPage: '<page name>',
     P: new Array(
          '<param1 name>', '<param1 value>',
          '<param2 name>', '<param2 value>',
          '<param3 name>', '<param3 value>',

OBIEE 11G - EBS R12 Authentication

Hi ,
I want to make OBIEE 11G authentication with EBS R12 but I dont want to login to OBIEE thru ERP?.
After making authentication how can I get the responsibilities and set them?.
Thanks...
Edited by: TErsin on Dec 21, 2011 8:59 PM

Firstly, I am trying to make integration between EBS and OBIEE 11G.
When I press to the link that directs me to OBIEE 11G it says ;
You are not currently signed in to the Oracle BI Server.
If you have already signed in, your connection might have timed out, or a communications or server error may have occurred.
To sign in again, click here. If the problem persists, please contact the site's administrator.
What do you think I am doing wrong?
Thanks...

OBIEE 11g and SSO with Browser Cookie

In OBIEE 10g we were able to configure the Presentation Server to accept a browser cookie. The cookie value would be passed to the BI Server as the :USER variable. A BI Server Repository Initialization Block would execute a SQL SELECT statement which would return the PeopleSoft username based on the cookie value.
We added the following to the 10g instanceconfig.xml:
<CredentialStore>
<CredentialStorage type="file" path="D:\oracle\OBIEE_UD\Data\web\config\credentialstore.xml" passphrase="another_secret" />
</CredentialStore>
<Auth>
<SSO enabled="true">
<ParamList>
<Param name="IMPERSONATE" source="cookie" nameInSource="PS_TOKEN"/>
</ParamList>
</SSO>
</Auth>
The Initialization Block SQL is:
SELECT mGetTokenUserid(':USER') FROM DUAL
mGetTokenUserid is a PL/SQL function which invokes a PeopleSoft web service. The web service simply returns the username for a valid PS_TOKEN cookie.
The Initialization Block works fine in OBIEE 11g.
Unfortunately the instanceconfig.xml settings from 10g do not work in 11g. There is also nothing in the OBIEE 11g documentation which discusses how to tell the system to use a specific cookie value for authentication.
Any guidance as to where in the Fusion Middleware or WebLogic security documentation we might find details on how to get the system to pass the PS_TOKEN cookie to the BI Server in 11g?
Thanks,

Not a full answer but....
, WebLogic can accept third party tokens as defined here:

Configration of LDAP in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
Client has asked me to de the LDAP configuration. I will be doing first time. I have gone through the different posts the information is enough to do the same.
But i have one question on this. It might be funny for all of you :-) but it keep meaning for me.
There are few parameter need to be passed while configuration.
Base DN: Generally we give the value like. (CN=Users,DC=venkatad,DC=venkatlap,DC=com) , My question here is: The value for CN and DC will be provided from the client(or any specific value) or we can put any thing.
Bind DN: (CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=venkatad,DC=venkatlap,DC=com) here also my questing is same.
Bind password: is it generic? or any LDAP server releted?
port: 389 (Default LDAP port without SSL) 389 is the default, without SSL. So here my question is: If there is SSL then what would be the value for Port no.
And lastly could you please let me know what are the different parameters i need to ask from the client for LDAP authentication configuration.
Regards
Niraj

Hi,
Refer the below
Reuired info from LDAP team:
1) LDAP server Host name and Platform(OS Type)
2) LDAP Server IP
3) LDAP Server Port no
4) User Path structure (Object )
ex.: like user and group(object of the user and group canonical name) path structure (Path : Functional user ID)
my group info got it from LDAP team
GROUP:
CN=deva,OU=SG,OU=OBIEE,OU=Groups,DC=reg9,DC=Hex1,DC=OPM,DC=com
5) Group Path Structure (Object)
like e.x: (Path : Functional usergroup)
6) Access required for our functional ID: deva
1) ldifd.tex files ---> permission required for our functional IDdeva
2) Windows Active Directory access required for our functional ID(deva)
3) Access requred for functional id user (deva) to properties of the user in AD

Multiple LDAP Servers in Fusion Middleware (OBIEE 11g)

Hello,
I have a question, regarding integration of multiple LDAP servers with single Weblogic Server of Fusion Middleware (OBIEE 11g). We are currently using OBIEE 10g. We are on verge of migrating to 11g. However, I have a question regarding the LDAP server.
Our two applications run on two distinct LDAP servers. The plan is to provide a single sign on link for OBIEE 11g reports to the end users and depending on what application they are using, they must be authenticated against the respective LDAP server.
So, my question, is it possible to Integrate two different LDAP servers in the Weblogic of Fusion Middleware (OBIEE 11g). If so, what would be the steps. Any helpful document will also be appreciated.
Thank you,
Chandu.

Yes, you can configure multiple authentication providers one by one as you generally do.
When you configure multiple Authentication providers, use the JAAS Control Flag for each provider to control how the Authentication providers are used in the login sequence. You can set the JAAS Control Flag in the WebLogic Administration Console.
REQUIRED—The Authentication provider is always called, and the user must always pass its authentication test. If authentication succeeds or fails, authentication still continues down the list of providers.
REQUISITE—The user is required to pass the authentication test of the Authentication provider. If the user passes the authentication test of this Authentication provider, subsequent providers are executed but can fail (except for Authentication providers with the JAAS Control Flag set to REQUIRED).
SUFFICIENT—The user is not required to pass the authentication test of the Authentication provider. If authentication succeeds, no subsequent Authentication providers are executed. If authentication fails, authentication continues down the list of providers.
OPTIONAL—The user is allowed to pass or fail the authentication test of this Authentication provider. However, if all Authentication providers configured in a security realm have the JAAS Control Flag set to OPTIONAL, the user must pass the authentication test of one of the configured providers.

Error while using between operator with sql stmts in obiee 11g analytics

can anyone help me out in resolving this issue.

Hi All,
Thank u all for ur replies, but I dint the exact solution for what I'm searching for.
If I use the condition as
"WHERE "Workforce Budget"."Used Budget Amount" BETWEEN MAX("Workforce Budget"."Total Eligible Salaries") AND MAX("Workforce Budget"."Published Worksheet Budget Amount"",
all the data will be grouped with the two columns which I'm considering in the condition.
my actual requirement with this query is to get the required date from a table to generate the report either as daily or weekly or monthly report. If I use repository variables, variables are not getting refreshed until I regenerate the server(which I should not do in my project). Hence I have created a table to hold weekly start and end dates and monthly start and end dates to pass the value to the actual report using between operator.
please could anyone help me on this, my release date is fast approaching.

OBIEE 11g - Integrating via external corporate website to OBIEE

Hi all -
Unusual challenge, our we offer a hosted application (SaaS) where our users are authenticated on our application. Recently, we've invested in OBIEE 11g and have successfully deployed recommended Oracle Enterprise Deployment. We have a custom security solution (user permissions in Oracle tables, not LDAP), and have not implemented Oracle Identity Mgmt and don't plan to.
We would like to use GoURL / Action Framework to access Report content, dashboard content, content as port lets embedded in an app dashboard to an iFrame.
My Question: can we configure OBIEE to accept just "username" without password in a trusted login scenario? we are trying not to expose password in URL (encrypted or clear text).
We done an exhaustive search to review GoUrl, web service / soap calls, reviewing impersonator passcode techniques (everyone having same pad in initialization block), etc.
Thank you in advance for your most needed responses,

There is a good post that lead me on the way to solving this problem here:
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2010/07/obiee-remove-whole-portalbanner.html
The code he posts won't work for 11g, but it's close.
Paste this code into a text box on each page of your dashboard, make sure you check the box that says "contains HTML"
<script type="text/javascript">
var tds = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
for (var td = 0; td < tds.length; td++) {
if (tds[td].className != 'HeaderTopBar' && tds[td].className != 'HeaderSecondBar' ) {
continue;
if (tds[td].className == 'HeaderTopBar') {
//alert (tds[td].className);
var x = tds[td].parentNode;
//alert (x.className);
x.removeChild(tds[td]);}
if (tds[td].className == 'HeaderSecondBar') {
//alert (tds[td].className);
var x = tds[td].parentNode;
//alert (x.className);
x.removeChild(tds[td]);}
</script>

OBIEE 11G - Unable to login to presentation services

Hi All,
I have done a simple installation of OBIEE 11G on my coloud server with OS windows server 2003, SP2 , 32 bit.
Installation is 88% completed with,
Executing : opmnctl start coreapplication_obiccs1 and Executing: opmnctl start coreapplication_obips1 failed. Came to know that this is related to clusters and ignored the error.
RCU is installed in different database server.
Now i am trying to login to presentation services with weblogic as userid and password that i had given during installation of obi.
I am getting error that userid or password is invalid...
One thing i came to know from the thread OBIEE 11g Cluster Controller Failed to start is,
i have a bad IP in /etc/hosts... below are the entries in the file... can anyone please tell me what necessary changes i should do?
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

Is there a way to deny access to BI Publisher -Report job in OBIEE 11g?

Thank you all for the helpful information in the posts. I am trying to disable or not to display Report job under published reporting in OBIEE 11g. Could any one of you you please help me with the steps?
My issue:
I am pretty new to OBIEE and we are using OBIEE 11g when the user clicks on the new drop down, i am trying to disable or turnoff Report job under published reporting for a user group. I tried to find the relevant components for published reporting to deny access to report job under manage privileges but no luck i couldn't find any and i realized that i should be looking into Manage Bi publisher roles and responsibilities but i cannot remove the roles. Please help me with the steps and the options where i need to go and what i should do to not to display the report job. Your help is greatly appreciated, if i am not clear please let me know i will try to rephrase or explain it better
FYI
We are using LDAP for user creation and we have created a new group and created a test user belongs to that group and that user should not see the Report job. When i am seeing the users roles and responsibilities it is also showing me other two roles authenticated user role and BI consumer role for the test user, when i asked the admin guy dealing with LDAP he said he only associated the user with that only new group. Please advice
Thanks,
Ravi

In EM, go to Weblogic Domain, right click on bifoundation_domain and on the Security menu choose Application Policies.
Set Application Stripe to obi and click the blue arrow search button.
Highlight BIConsumer and click Edit.
Under Permissions locate Resource Name oracle.bi.publisher.scheduleReport. Highlight this and click Delete...
Click OK (top right corner).
Now log your user out of OBIEE and back in again, and the option should have disappeared from their New menu.

Login Problem in OBIEE 11g.

Hi Experts,
I installed OBIEE 11g on XP. Did started BI Services and OBIEE Presentation Services login page appears and entered userid and password. It gives following error.
Unable to Sign In
An error occurred during authentication. Try again later or contact your system administrator.

The GUID of user 'weblogic' does not match user reference GUID at the repository. Please ask the administrator to delete the old user reference at the repository and login again
In order to fix it I had to follow the steps to “Refresh Global Unique Identifiers (GUIDs)” from Fusion Middleware Administrator Guide. The version I am using is 11.1.1.6. The steps is slightly different for each version of OBIEE.
For 11.1.1.6, the steps to be followed are
1. Edit NQConfig.INI and change setting FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS = NO to YES.
2. Edit instanceconfig.xml to enable GUID refresh on restart.
false
Comment out the line and add an extra line as follows:
UpdateAndExit
3. Use opmnctl to restart the process using stopall and startall
4. After restart, revert the changes. Set FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS to YES.
false
5. Restart the services again.
After the above steps, we were able to login successfully.
