Disable login prompt for SAP NW based Xcelsius Dashboard

Hi all,
Need assistance to understand what needs to be done in the below case:
Current scenario:
1. Developed Xcelsius Dashboard based on SAP NW Connectivity on BO XI 3.1 SP2+.
2. Configured trust between SAP BW server and BO Server using steps outlined in integration kit(login/accept_sso2_ticket, etc).
Imported user roles in BOE and enabled SAP authentication.
After this, WEBI Reports based on Bex queries refresh in Infoview without prompting for Login id/Password.
3. Configured SAP Server to enable portal/interop switch to display the Xcelsius Dashboard within Infoview which is the existing BI portal. Used Hyperlink object for enabling the link.
In the hyperlink, I am using the same link which gets generated when I use the option Xcelsius 2008>>file menu>>SAP>>Launch
Issue: On click of Hyperlink, I get SAP EP Login window. Once I fill up the SAP user id and password, the dashboard comes up
Server Configuration:All on same domain
SAP system ID=X(SAP BW server)
SAP system id=Y(SAP EP Portal)
BOBJ system Z(BOBJ Server)
User roles stored in X. Entitlement system defined in Z for SAP BW Server X.
Dashboard is not available in SAP EP Portal in any folder as of now. Have not created any roles yet.
As per the various posts and KB articles,
Do I need to enable SNC for both X and Y? or trust between Infoview and SAP EP portal can be enabled without enabling SNC?
Just like SAP BW server, does the SAP EP portal also has *.cert files that can be used to exchange with BO Server to enable trust.
Thanks,
V Fernandes

Hi Ingo,
Thanks for your explanation. I was referring the configuration mentioned in the wiki article for displaying Xcelsius Dashboard in Infoview where this was explained as a possibility. Even though its not Lean.
Link: [http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/IntegrationofanXcelsiusdashboardinBOE+Infoview]
The only difference in my case is the use of SAP Authentication instead of Enterprise.
Thus as per your last update the following workflow is only valid:
1. User logins to Infoview using SAP Authentication.
2. User clicks on Xcelsius Dashboard Hyperlink object.
3. SAP Enterprise Portal login pops up within the Infoview Workspace.
4. User has to fill in the Login credentials again.
5. Dashboard load up successfully.
Please correct me in case I am wrong.
Thanks for the response.In case there is any other way this can be achieved, then please do let me know. Appreciate for all the help.

Using OLAP Connection for SAP BW based on authentication type Prompt

We try to use an OLAP Connection based on authentication type Prompt. This should cause a dialog to popup where the user can enter credentials for SAP BW. This works fine for Analysis for OLAP, but not in Web Intelligence and Design Studio.
In design studio the following message appears:
failed to connect to "BA1CLNT100"
Configuration of destination
customized_guid:FnTHdVPWmQ4AMLQAAD4XL4cAAFBWmWVp is incomplete:
Parameter user id missing: neither user nor user alias nor sso ticket nor certificate is specified.
Does anyone know if this feature is supported and what causes this error?

Hi,
Can you check the option "Disallow insecure incoming RFC connections" from CMC >> SAP Authentication and see if it helps.

Running FR reports with generic user id. Disable login prompt.

Hello All,
When running FR reports it tries use the logged user to connect to Essbase as well, but we want FR to run with a generic Essbase user id.
How do I make it work so that it does not prompt for username/password.
Thanks

Crystal Report doesn't prompt for SAP credentials / errors out on refresh

2 Environments tested with same results:

BOE XI 3.1 SP2 & BOE XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.5 
SAP Intg Kit on mirrored SP/FP levels in each environment.

We've been successfully creating Crystal Reports against BEx queries in BW for months now as well as ECC master data. We've also built universes and have WebI reports actively working against similar BEx queries in the same. However, we're getting some curious behavior when we refresh the Crystal Reports against BEx queries in BW. Verified all necessary transports and authorizations have been provided for both authoring, as well as refreshing/viewing on demand, etc.

We've setup all the Crystal Reports we're testing to:

a) Use custom database logon information specified here. 
b) Specify a custom driver, leveraging the crdb_bwmdx driver 
c) Prompt the user for database login

We have not enabled SNC as of yet.

1) When we refresh a WebI report hitting a BEx query with security applied, it doesn't prompt for the credentials, but we confirmed through tracing on the SAP side that if the user hits a paramater it has access to, the data comes through and when we hit a paramater they do not have access to, we can clearly see SAP reject it and it spits out a logical error on the BO side in InfoView and in the WebI logs on the BO server.

2) When we refresh a Crystal Report hitting ECC data, we are prompted for the SAP credentials and everything works as expected

However:

3) When we refresh a Crystal Report hitting a BEx query in BW, we are not promtped for SAP credentials. We immediately get the "LOV" prompts. Now, if we use a test user in SAP that has NO SECURITY restrictions at all and open access to the query, the data comes through. However, as soon as any security is applied to the query level, even if it is SAP ALL, we cannot retrieve the data. Tracing is also strange, as we can see on the SAP side it buffer the selected paramaters, but unlike with the WebI reports, it never shows it reaching the point where it checks each paramater against what the role has access to. An error is then spit back. We run the same queries with the same users within SAP and get normal behavior. It's as though as soon as we apply security to the query the mdx driver doesn't like it. Dependant on the type of InfoView viewer we use, the errors we consistently get on the BO side are:

Interactive Viewer: "Error in File %reportname%: Encapsulating Page Failed" 
Java Viewer: "Error in File %reportname%: Database Connection Error"

Nothing glaring in the event logs on the BO servers or in the Crystal logs that I can see, however just because it isn't spitting a specific error in the crystal logs doesn't mean I'm not missing something because I don't know what to look for behavior wise. To reduce the liklihood that it has to do with the way the report was built, we've tried against the same query by building a report using standard methods, as well as the SAP Toolbar using a very plain jane report. Same behavior.

Thoughts?

i have problem with getting IUser object from set of principals. In javadoc is written: "In order to get an IUser object from this subject, call Subject.getPrincipals() and iterate through the returned Set of principals." so i tried to iterate but i was not able to get that IUser with any casting. Do u know how it should be?
IUser serviceUser = (IUser)subject.getPrincipals().iterator().next();
Now in resource Context
ResourceContext c = new ResourceContext(User);
Here resource context need IUser type object as parameter...
I also tried st like this
loggedUser = UMFactory.getAuthenticator().getLoggedInUser(request, response);
but loggedUser is not authenticated.

Adobe Premier Elements 13 Win 8.1 64 Will not open. I get the login prompt for editor and sign in but nothing else happens. I have uninstalled/reinstalled but get the same results.

Premier elements 13 will not open after logging in.

Let us go through the typical drill on your Premiere Elements 13 Window 8.1 64 bit issue, and then we can focus in more based on your replies.
1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
2. Are you using a pen and tablet device or mouse?
3.According to the Device Manager/Display Adapters, what video card/graphics card does your computer use? How many cards, and is driver version
up to date?
5. Are you running the program as Administrator? Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer?
Please look at the following solutions for 12 to determine if they will work for you in 13.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Premiere Elements 12 Editor Will Not Open
Have you tried to open the program by going to the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file, right clicking it and selecting/applying Run As Administrator, and then double
clicking that file to open the program?
If none of the above works, then delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file in the path
Local Disk C
Users

13.0
and in the 13.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 13.0 Folder in which the
Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be making with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives enabled so that you
can see the complete path cited.
We will be watching for your results. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

Is it possible to add/create a login prompt for my website through iWeb?

So I was tasked to create a "info" site for my family. In an effort to keep it private from everyone except my family members I would like to create a login so that only family members can log in and view site. Is it possible to do this through iWeb? If so could someone help explain to me how this can be done?
Thanks

Its not so difficult. I host with Host Excellence and it only takes a few minutes to set up password protection using the WebShell wizard.
Once you have done this, you can easily add and/or delete authorized users, change the password etc.
If you use .htaccess, there are online generators to help you set it up. The main thing to remember about these files is that they are normally hidden so you need to turn on "show hidden files" in your hosting account file manager.

How to prevent a first time login prompt for an external application.

Hi,
I'm doing a Portal iFS integration project. We managed to login to our iFS application via an external application definition in the Login Server. We created a JSP screen to create iFS users. In the back-end java-code uses the Portal API to create a Portal user. When this new user uses the external application link for the first time he gets a Portal screen to supply the external username/password combination. Can someone answer the following questions:
1. How can I customize the layout of this first time external application login screen just like the you can customize the standard portal "login/change password" screens ?
2. Is there an API to specifiy the external username/password combination for a specific portal user and specific external application in advance in order to prevent the firsttime login screen ?
Any help/answers would be great. We need to implement this in a few weeks.
regards,
Willem-Pieter van der Lugt

There is an API -- WWSSO_PSTORE_EX which is in $IAS_HOME/portal30/admin/plsql/sso/ssopsex.pks which includes APIs
for accessing the password store. Please see the package specification here, which is not wrapped. This API is generally private to the SSO schema, but it is granted for EXECUTE to the
PORTAL30_PS schema - which is the schema provided for access to the password store.
To add a users credentials to the store, you would use the pstore_add_user_info procedure...
PROCEDURE pstore_add_userinfo
    p_app_id     IN VARCHAR2
, p_ssouser    IN VARCHAR2
, p_app_user   IN VARCHAR2
, p_app_pwd    IN VARCHAR2
, p_fname1     IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, p_fval1      IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, p_fname2     IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, p_fval2      IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, p_fname3     IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, p_fval3      IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, p_fname4     IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, p_fval4      IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, p_fname5     IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, p_fval5      IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, p_fname6     IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, p_fval6      IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, p_fname7     IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, p_fval7      IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, p_fname8     IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, p_fval8      IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, p_fname9     IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, p_fval9      IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
, p_user_prefs IN VARCHAR2
);Note that you should provide p_app_pwd as cleartext, and the API encrypts it before storing.

How to disable the prompt for password when receiving a call on Lync mobile on iPhone

We are doing a pilot on Lync 2013. We have mobile phones: i Phones.
When we are receiving a call, we are prompted to enter password to take the call, which in certain cases, might be a real irritant. Is there a way to bypass, or simply removing this prompt?

I am not aware of any password to receive calls (and certainly there's no option I am aware of within Lync mobility policy settings)
Is this a phone password (i.e. such as the PIN code) or do you enter your AD password?
If it's the phone password then you can turn it off through Settings > Passcode, unless it set by company policy (i.e through ActiveSync policies in which case this is set through Exchange). Bear in mind that if it is your phone password then you'll have
no security on your phone.

Disable Login attempt for sqlplus

Hi All
I am writing a shell script which takes in username password and database name as parameters. Using these parameters I am running sqlplus.
But if the user supplies wrong parameters sqlplus will attempt to connect again by asking username and password 3 times.
How can I prevent this from happening. What I want is to exit sqlplus gracefully without attempting again.
Thanks
Diwakar

A new feature in SQL*Plus 9.0.1 did just what you want. Here's the info from the SQL*Plus release notes:
SQLPLUS -L Argument
There is a new command line argument for the SQLPLUS command, SQLPLUS -L which specifies not to reprompt for username or password if the initial connection does not succeed. This can be useful in operating-system scripts that must either succeed or fail. It is also useful for situations where you do not want to be reprompted for connection details if the Server is not running. This option is not available with the SQL*Plus for Windows graphical user interface.

How to disable Office 2010 Upgrade Policy prompts for users in a Remote Desktop environment

I have deployed Office 2010 to our Terminal Server.
When users login to their Remote Desktops and start Office apps they are greeted with making choices for Upgrade Policies:
Recommended
Only Updates
Don't Make Any Changes
How can I centrally manage this policy and disable this prompt for users?

Hi,
From the description, what you mentioned is the Opt-in or First things first prompt when you launch Office program for the first time.
If you want to disable the prompt, we can use Office Customization Tool or Group Policy to achieve this goal. For more information, please refer to the following blog:

How to Disable Prompt for Command Parameter Vale

I have a CR that uses an SQL Command for the report query. There is a parameter in the Command Where clause like the following:
WHERE type = '{?type}'
The "type" parameter is also listed in the Command Parameter List. "Type" is also listed as a report parameter in the Field Explorer under Parameter Fields.
I am sending the value of "type" to the report from an asp.net web form using the following C# in the code behind:
string strType = "VENDOR";
crystalReport.SetParameterValue("type", strType);
My issue is when the report is run, it still prompts the user for type, even though I am sending a value for the type parameter to the report. Is there a way to disable the prompt for a Command Parameter value?
I am using CR2011 and VS2010Pro.

Hi,
Check if you are refreshing the reportobject after setting the parameter values. if yes, comment it.
Also create a sample applicationwith below code, drop a CR viewer on the design page and see if the issue can be reproduced.
using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;
using CrystalDecisions.Shared;
using CrystalDecisions.Web;
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        ReportDocument rd = new ReportDocument();
       rd.Load(Server.MapPath("Report1.rpt"));
      rd.SetParameterValue("Parameter Name", "value");
     CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rd;

SQL Developer 2.1 Disable Automatically Check for Updates bug?

Unchecking the "Automatically Check for Updates" under Preferences -> Extensions in version 1.5.5 to disables the prompting for proxy ID and password at SQL Developer startup. Unfortunately I am trying version 2.1 on Windows XP and unchecking this option under Extensions is having no affect. It is still prompting for proxy ID and password every time I start SQL Developer. This is extremely annoying.
Is this a known bug with 2.1?
Mike

I get that prompt for a Proxy as well. If I can download SQL Developer 2.1 without a Proxy then why am I prompted for one when I am checking for updates?!?
I have to uncheck the Proxy and uncheck check for Automatic Updates.
Even if I tried to use the default proxy it does not exist (I tried pinging emeacache.uk.oracle.com and it just times out and there is no DNS record either).
I have been able to finally get a few updates but still have problems with getting the JTDS and MySQL updates. I am wondering if there is a problem with Oracle's websites that are trying to be contacted to download these updates. I think Oracle's Check for Updates Wizard still has bugs that need fixing. I have had these problems not just with this new 2.1 but with previous versions as well.
I hope Oracle fixes their buggy Check for Updates Wizard or the web sites that are being contacted for the updates because this is very frustrating.
