Customizing Login screen in OBIEE 11g

Hello All,
I know how to customize login screens and Dashboard in OBIEE 10.x Versions. There are enough articles and blogs as well.
But how to do customizations in 11g?. Are there any articles or forums related to it?
Thanks in advance

Custom Login screen - Yammer app webpart not working

Hi Team,
I have created windows login website and configured Yammer . it is working fine.
But I have created another website with custom login screen and If i check Yammer Feed app webpart nothing is opening.for few browsers got exception like "401 : unauthorized access".
I have placed custom log in page in "_layouts" folder.
I am new to sharepoint 2013 and Yammer. kindly let me know in details what is the problem and root cause and solution.
Otjherwise is there any chance to create a custom webpart using Yammer API ? If so where I can find it ? what are the root Dll's and root classes to implement it.
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you access the Yammer Feed app, it occur "401:unauthorized access" .
If this error occurs in few browsers, it could be related to browser settings. The Yammer Feed app requires the user has third party cookies enabled in their browsers.
Here are some similar threads about the solution for this issue:

Hi all,

But in this the new custom login screen doesn't have the new password option or it cannot detect the password expiry of the sap users login into the ITS service.
Can anyone please let me know which system variable handles the password expiry for the SAP login.
Or can anyone let me know the standard program for the ITS SAP standard login screen.
Thanks Urgent requirement. rewards will awarded for the all the responses
Thanks & Regards

if its Integrated ITS, then you can refer to this blog on customizing login screen.

Customizing login screen

Hi,
When using Oracle Portal, can the login screen be customized?
The level of customization I require include:
- validating username/password against our own database tables
- adding second factor authentication to the login screen
How can it be done? Can I customize the default login screen? Or it's possible to create my own custom login screen?
Thanks,
Roy

Yes, at this moment Oracle Portal is only supported with the SSO server in the Application Server.You can however integrate Oracle Access Manager (former Oblix) with the SSO server to get additional features :

Hi ,
I normally do this to fix this problem
1>Disable the network , keep the loopback adaptor enabled and then restart the services.
2> You can enable the network after services are restarted.
If you want a more practical solution and dont want to disable network again and again, then you would find the blog below useful.

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.
Did any one got this error?? Please help me out at this point thanks..........
DK

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.

How to get the Trusted Identity Login Page with the needed parameters to make custom login screen instead of sharepoint Login Page?

hi guys
i have configured trusted identity provider for my public facing internet portal, but i dont want to use the login screen
since i have about 10 site collection which will use this authentication.
is there a class or property that gives me the url ready with the parameters like "wa" and "wtrealm" and the redirect url based on the place the user click the link from.

You can create your own login page and specify the URL for it in the authentication provider settings of a Web Application or Zone. So the easiest way to do what you want would be to extend your existing Web Application to a new Zone, change the login
Page url to point to use your custom zone, and tell users to use the url of that zone to login with the custom provider you have built.
If you want a single zone then you will need to modify a copy of the login page you display above and have it redirect to a custom login page for your identity provider if the pick the correct entry in the dropdown.

Custom login screen.. any hints ?

Hi all,
We'd like to have a login screen sligthly different from the standard one (some links should be removed, some others created).
Should we create our own starting from scratch ? (new web dynpro view...). In this case, could someone gives some hints:
- is there some bapi that can be executed to authenticate user
- is there some bapi that can be executed to change user password / langage...
Would it be better to customize standard login screen ? Our application is standalone (not in portal).
In this case, can someone tell me how to customize it ? I've read some documentation on changing this login screen in portal (by customizing .par file)... Should we do the same ?
Thanks in advance

Hello TWM,
the support and register links can be controlled with the UM settings ume.logon.logon_help and ume.logon.selfreg. For more complex customization you might want to create your own login screen component as a copy of the standard component: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/ep/customizing the logon user interface of sap enterprise portal 6.0

OSX Lion 10.7.4 breaks custom login screen!

Help! I recently updated my MB to OSX Lion 10.7.4. I had to re-apply my custom menu bar and icons (as usual), but the first thing i noticed was that the login window was back to that disgusting linen texture. I thought the update just replaced the file, (didn't happen before), so I went to /System/Library/Frameworks/Appkit.framework/Versions/C/Resources/NsTexturedFull ScreenBackgroundColor.png. And then the file was the same, my previous login window.
So the question is: Where is the new login screen texture stored? I can change the mission control background, but no amount of goolging or anything provides accurate and working information to replace the login screen on 10.7.4.
Why would Apple break this all of a sudden?
The worse case scenario would be that Apple decided to troll and draw the login screen programmatically. Which should never be the case...

If you are using any system tools such as Mackeeper, Onyx, Macaroni, or AppleJack, caches can get corrupted, leading to other systemwide issues. Stop using such tools. If this is an erase and installed and updated system that still doesn't behave as you believe it should for the screen to work, then I would give Apple a bug report here: http://bugreporter.apple.com/ after signing up for a http://developer.apple.com/ account and see if it is a known issue or not.

Custom Login Screen

I wanna know if i can develop a login screen diferent to the NW login screen. I mean that i want to create a view in WebDynpro that receives some parameters from user and execute the login cheking against the UME of Was.
If so, i wanna know how to check that user parameters are valid or not to login in the app. I mean how to pass that parameters to the UME.
Thx and Rgds
Gregory.

Hi Gregory
You can check for UID as follows
try{
IWDClientUser user = WDClientUser.getClientUser(<user id>);
}catch (Exception e){
You will get a exception if the userid is not found in the UME.
I am not sure how we will validate for password. Try looking into UME API's.

Custom Graphs Tags in OBIEE 11g

Hi, we want to add a custom tag to an OBIEE line graph that only displays the data as a tag for a specific columns (eg only the last month if the x axis is a range of months)
Is there a way to do this and if not what route can I follow to get this done.
Thanks, Wim

Custom Login Module with Adf 11g and and weblogic server

I have configured adf security on my application. I have checked the authentication and authorization are working fine with the default authenticator.
I am trying to create a custom login module. I have downloaded the custom login module implementation jaasdatabaseloginmodule.zip http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/index-089689.html. I have added the DBLoginModule.jar to my application. post written by Frank Nimphius and Duncan Mills
I have configured the jps config under the application resources with these entries.
<jpsConfig xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oracleas/schema/11/jps-config-11_1.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oracleas/schema/11/jps-config-11_1.xsd">

When I run the application this custom login is not getting invoked.
I even tried to add these contents to DefaultDomain\config\fmwconfig\jps-config.xml still no result.
Can anyone who has configured custom login module direct me how to correct my application.

Hi Frank,
After following the documentation suggested. I am able to create custom authenticator. But when I login I getting the below exception. When I debugged login method returned true. But this error is being thrown after that. Any clue.

Not able to save date column with custom date format. in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have migrated one report from OBIEE 10g to 11g. There is a date column with customized date format(i.e. Default format is 'dd-MMM-yyyy' and I have used 'MMM-yyyy').
But when I use this custom format and try to save the report in 11g its giving this below error.
''Catalog object privilege validation failed for user to path /shared/ALM BI/Finacial Results/History Income Statement Detail.
You do not currently have sufficient privileges to save a report or dashboard page that contains HTML markup.
This HTML might be present in column headings, table headings, text views, narrative views, the print header,
or the print footer and must be removed before saving.''
Please let me know what changes I need to do for this.

Add hyperlink - Custom sign in page OBIEE 11g

Hello,
I a m trying to customize the sign in page.
We already succeeded, but a file disapeared ad we can't do it again...
I explain, we have created the path
/opt/oracle/obiee/middleware/biee11g
In this path we have :
customMessages
sk_pageaideaccueil
s_pageaideaccueil
WEB-INF
In the customMessages we have :
messages/l_en/
and the files :
logonmessages.xml and
productmessages.xml
So, we modified some files to add an hyperlink "help" on the sign in page.
In the logonmessages.xml we add the line :
<WebMessage name="kmsgSampleMsg1"><HTML><sawm:if name="logonURL"> <a href="/analytics/olh/l_en/scorecard026.htm">Help</a></sawm:if></HTML></WebMessage>^M
of course kmsgSampleMsg1 = Help is already created too.
So we are here.
I have my custom logonmessages.xml file in my custom path and i have the help folder in the original path :
/opt/oracle/obiee/middleware/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/web/app/olh/l_en/
When I write an existing file like scorecard026.htm (or any other file which is from OBIEE) it's okay.
But if I copy scorecard026 and I rename it helpme.htm, if I write in the path:
<WebMessage name="kmsgSampleMsg1"><HTML><sawm:if name="logonURL"> <a href="/analytics/olh/l_en/helpme.htm">Help</a></sawm:if></HTML></WebMessage>^M
It told me 404 error even after retsarting the coreapplication service.
Do you know what I missing ?
Thank you,
Antoine

Hello JaniRautiainen and thanks for your answer !
So you have understod quite well the problem
I just want to add a link to the sign in page so like you said : "there is no change to the actual login behavior".
After that, when I click on the link "help" tha I have addes on the page, the redirection is fine (the link is working).
But the page does not work, I have a mistake if I use the name of a file I have added to :
/opt/oracle/obiee/middleware/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/web/app/olh/l_en/
But if I use a file which already exists in this path ,it's working...
So I think that there is another file somewhere which know the files which are from Oracle or not.
A new problem now, if I use a file which exists for exemple biee0002.htm, it's working. So when I click on my help link I arrive on this page.
But now, if I modify the file biee0002.htm and I restart the coreapplication services, the file I see is the same...
So it appears that I am in the wrong path...
Do you have something on this ?
Thank you
Antoine
