EBS Security Integration with BI Publisher

Hi All,
I have few questions regarding integration of EBS Security with BIP. I went through the following document Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher.
and have following questions.
-- Upon on logging on into BIP after integration with EBS should I assign the three roles of BI i.e. BI Administrator, BI Author and BI Conusmer to all EBS roles for catalog permission set up.
Below is my requirement. EBS user logging into BIP
a) Set of Users should have to build reports , publish on dashboard etc.
b)Set of users need only view reports i.e. read only.
c) One User should have Admin privileges.
How do I associated above with EBS roles. Should I assign BI roles to EBS roles in EM and give catalog permissions? Any thoughts will be really appreciated.
Thanks
SYK

have you got a response for this? We are having the same issue after following everything as well.

Integration with XML Publisher

Has anyone found out or used the integration with XML Publisher? I am using the Sourcing product and it can generate report output based on XML Publisher directly from an OAF page. I was wondering how that is done.
Anyone know?

I had a similar query - I heard that AR, GL, and AP (11i10) are not compatible with XML Publisher - is this true? I thought was the XML Publisher was independent of modules.
Pls share any experience with the Publisher tool - challenges, installation, comparison to Optio, etc.
Thanks, Vishnu

Integration With BI Publisher

I am following steps in integration with BI Publisher , we have a problem when trying to import
PublicReportService_v11.wsdl , it takes so long time and then raise an error :
A record that contains identical values to the record you have created already exists.while creating PublicReportService_v11 web service
any one have suggestions my siebel tools 8.1.1.9

before importing delete / rename PublicReportService under business services, and also delete/rename all the IO for project XMLP Integration. Make sure there are no other Siebel repositories existing except Siebel Repository (no backups). Then import the WSDL.

Can XML Publisher 5.6.3(EBS) be integrated with APEX?

On the following document, XMP Publisher 5.6.2 does not support integration with APEX. May I know about 5.6.3? Or is it about the product being an add-on with EBS causing the non-support to integration(meaning, even 5.6.3 is not supported)?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
Thanks,
Rownald

APEX integrates with the standalone version of BI Publisher. There was not a server component with the standalone 5.6.3 release. The integration relies on publisher providing a servlet for APEX to communicate with, 5.6.3 does not have this.
If you are talking 5.6.3 under EBS then I guess you could build a servlet on the mid tier that called the BIP conversion APIs - it would all be custom work.
The APEX integration needs 10.1.3.2 BIP to work with out of the box.

Siebel new LDAP adapter integration with BI Publisher

Hi All!!
We have configured our Siebel (8.1.1.3) security adapter with LDAP. BI Publisher is using Siebel security model.
We had to clone our AOM (fins_esn which is using the security adapter LDAP) to finsxx_esn because we are migrating the AD 2000 to 2008 (we are also changing the domain). The roll out will last 2 month, users will be migrated by branch, it wont be a big bang.
We have to generate a new LDAP security adapter to authenticate users who are logging to finsxx_esn to the AD 2008 (AD 2008 is on a diferent domain than AD 2000. This is working for application autehtication, no problems found here)
On a standalone environment report generation is working. But for a distributed environment (1 AOM, 1 NAOM, 1 Web Server) is not working.
Does anyone knows how to integrate to BI Publisher when you have two LDAP security adapters on Siebel Application? Or is there any authentication method to use instead of "Siebel Security" so as to achieve this?
Regards

We actually ran into a similar problem where I work. I created a support web ticket for our issue and the response is that BIP 11G is not supported for integration with Siebel 8.1, or any other version for that matter. Oracle is currently working on a fix to integrated the latest version of Siebel with BIP.
There advice to me was to downgrade to BIP 10G for the time being.

OID integration with BI Publisher

Hi All,
We are using BI Publisher version 10.1.3.4.We have to integrate BI publisher with OID i followed steps given in Oracle® Business Intelligence Publisher
Administrator's and Developer's Guide Release 10.1.3.4 Part No. E12188-01 for integrating OID with BI publisher using OID WEB UI.
We have creted users and role (GROUPS) in OID as per instructions.We also done security configurations in admin tab for this ldap. When we try to log in through
OID user into BI publisher we are getting error **The server can not be used due to a configuration error, please contact the administrator. If you are the administrator, please consult BI Publisher user guide for proper configuration.** oracle.apps.xdo.security.ValidateException
Any help please....

Hi Tim, I have the same problem, I configurate correct LDAP in Administrator and I can enter in Answer with roles and folders but when I try to go Products/Publisher or when I try to access via URL http://192......:7780/XMLPSERVER, said me:

Session keep Alive when EBS is integrated with OIF acting as SP

We have an E-Business Suite R12(12.1.3) Application which is integrated with Oracle Access Manager 11.1.1.5. For authentication the Oracle Access Manager delegates the authentication request to Oracle Identity Federation acting as a Service Provider (SP). There is a home-grown SSO which acts as the Identity provider by Federating it with OIF using SAML 2.0 protocol.
The integration is successful and EBS is able to authenticate using this third party SSO.
Now there are multiple applications which are integrated with this third party SSO and the user can access any of these applications including EBS.
Considering a scenario where a user is using EBS Application say for more than 30 mins. Now when he tries to login to another application the challenge screen is thrown though he can continue to work on EBS without any issue. The reason being that the session timeout on the IDP side is set to 30 mins.
To overcome this issue the solution that has been thought of using a javascript for each page load on the application which will update the SSO token with the latest UTC time on the IDP server. This has been successfully done for all other applications except EBS.
So my question is how we can call this java script for each page load for EBS?
Thanks & Regards
Sarbashis

It appears that OAM is removing the url parameters for the p_done_url sent to it by OIF.
302 Redirect to -> Location: https://sso.mycompany.com/oam/server/logout?p_done_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsso.mycompany.com%2Ffed%2Fuser%2Fsloosso%3Fid%3Dosso%26type%3D3&invokeOSFSLogout=false
Result: 200. Set-Cookie OAM-ID to expired.
Form Submits: https://sso.mycompany.com/fed/user/sloosso
Result: 500 Error
Notice the p_done_url value in the redirect has extra parameters which when the Form is submitted are lost.
If I manually enter the url: https://sso.mycompany.com/fed/user/sloosso?id=osso&type=3&invokeOSFSLogout=false
Then I am successfully logged out.
This seems almost like a bug in OAM...

OIM 11.1.1.5.0 + BP03 Integration with BI Publisher 11.1.1.5.0

Folks,
Has anyone been successful in integrating BIP 11.1.1.5.0 with OIM 11g? I have recently integrated BIP 11g with OIM11g for reporting. After doing all the necessary configurations as mentioned in the OIM 11g developers guide and BP03 read me document, I am able to see the reports structure in BIP. Also I could execute few of the reports like Access Policy details, Role membership etc. .
But none of the user reports are working. It always shows up a blank screen and no activity in logs either. I’m pretty sure that I have configured that BIP user properly and he has all the rights to execute the reports, in fact I have assigned all the available functional roles to the BIP user.
Has anyone of you faced such an issue earlier?
Appreciate your support!
Thanks
Sid

Hi Sidharth,
Instaed of BIP 11.1.1.5.0, go for BIP 10g, as it is certified with OIM 11.1.1.5. We integrated BIP 10g successfully.
Hope this helps

Discoverer Integration with BI Publisher now available

Key benefits of integration of BI Publisher with Discoverer:
- Create highly formatted reports based on your Discoverer worksheets (Relational and OLAP)
- Schedule and Distribute these reports in a variety of formats (e.g. HTML, PDF) via email
On the BI Publisher side, this integration requires BI EE 10.1.3.3 or BI Publisher standalone 10.1.3.3:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101320bi.html
There is documentation about this integration in the New Features guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10416/discointeg.htm#BABIDJBC
On the Discoverer side, you will also need to request a Discoverer one-off patch (password protected) from Oracle Support that adds the web services component to your Discoverer system – the patch is number 9334029. You will need to install this on top of a 10.1.2.2 Discoverer install that has been configured to use Oracle Internet Directory. Detailed configuration instructions are available in the one-off patch documentation.

Did anyone install this patch and make the integration with BIP work?
I installed the patch (on linux) using opatch apply as indicated in the patch README and opatch says that patch applied successfully. Now if I try to test the web service using http://host:port/discoverer/wsi as mentioned on page 11-2 of OBI New Features guide 10.1.3.3, I get a bunch of java errors like

Siebel 8.1 integration with BI Publisher 11g

Hello,
I'm currently trying to integrate BI Publisher reporting with Siebel 8.1 at work. We've followed the guide named " [BI Publisher for Siebel Applications Guide|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14004_01/books/Reports/ReportsTOC.html] ", which you can find in the Oracle BI Publisher documentation website: [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/documentation/index.html].
The problem is that this guide is meant to be used with the Oracle 10g version and we are using BI Publisher 11.1.1.5.0 (client's request).
We installed the new version without problems and reached the step "[Copying JAR Files to the Oracle BI Publisher Server|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14004_01/books/Reports/ReportsIntegrate11.html#wp551748]".
But since BI Publisher 11g runs on a Web Logic Server, instead of an Oracle Application Server (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm kind of new to the whole Oracle world), the file structures have changed and we cannot find the directory where we're supposed to copy those JAR files.
I kept reading the guide, in case we could skip this step and maybe find where those files are supposed to be later... but then again I found myself in a similar problem, since I need to place a Siebel WSDL file in a BI Publisher directory for importing, which I cannot find either.
Does anybody know how to accomplish this task or if it is even possible to use these software versions together? Could anyone at least point us to the right direction on where to look for this information?
Thank you in advance.

We actually ran into a similar problem where I work. I created a support web ticket for our issue and the response is that BIP 11G is not supported for integration with Siebel 8.1, or any other version for that matter. Oracle is currently working on a fix to integrated the latest version of Siebel with BIP.

OBIA 7.9.6.3 security integration with EBS R12.1.2

Hi Experts,
We are implementing OBI Apps 7.9.6.3 with EBS R12.1.2 as source.We need to integrate Active Directory with OBIEE and implement security of BI Apps with EBS R12.1.2. Need help on this.
How to map EBS Responsibilities into Application Role and Groups? Whether we need to create one Application Role and Group for each responsibility ? Then provide permissions in rpd for each of them? The user should have similar permission in BI as they have in EBS - like people can see only US Finance data in EBS should see only US Finance data in BI also.
Regards,
mvsst

You can go through obia security guide which explains step by step procedure with screenshot on how to implement ebs authentication and role based access.

Oracle ADF security integration with Oracle E-Business Suite SDK JAAS

I have an Oracle ADF 11.1.2.2 application that is using ADF security for authentication and authorization.
When we deploy this application to our JDeveloper integrated weblogic server, we utilize the security setting of "Custom" and use weblogic users and roles to map to the ADF application roles. In that environment our security is working properly.
I have a Weblogic 10.3.5 standalone server that has the ADF runtime installed as well as the Oracle E-Business Suite SDK JAAS implementation installed.
When I deploy the Oracle ADF application to the standalone weblogic server, I am directed to the JAAS login page when I attempt to access any JSF page (including those that I have granted View access through the anonymous-role. Does the Oracle ADF anonymous-role work (allow for anonymous page access) when JAAS security is handled by the Oracle E-Business Suite SDK JAAS implementation?
Per the SDK instructions, when we install the Oracle ADF deployment on Weblogic we have selected "DD only" for our security setting. We have defined enterprise roles in the Oracle ADF security setup (jazn-data.xml) that are assigned the appropriate application roles. Those enterprise roles have the same name (i.e. UMX|YOURROLE) as the E-Business Suite roles that are assigned to our test users. When we login with an E-Business Suite user / password we are receiving an error:
Error 401--Unauthorized
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.2 401 Unauthorized
Any thoughts on why that would be?
Thanks
Dan

Thanks Juan.
With the debugging options enabled it appears the issue is not an issue with the user / role credentials - it seems like the resource grants from jazn-data.xml are not being reviewed in my standalone weblogic instance EAR deployment:
[JpsAuth] Check Permission
PolicyContext: [TestApp]
Resource/Target: [untitled1PageDef]
Action: [view]
Permission Class: [oracle.adf.share.security.authorization.RegionPermission]

2. JpsPrincipal: oracle.security.jps.internal.core.principals.JpsAnonymousRoleImpl "anonymous-role" GUID=null DN=null)
When I access the same page from my integrated weblogic server I see:

2. JpsPrincipal: oracle.security.jps.internal.core.principals.JpsAnonymousRoleImpl "anonymous-role" GUID=null DN=null)
When I review my EAR - I do see jazn-data.xml at:
/META-INF/jazn-data.xml
I will review the system-jazn-data.xml to see if the policy information has been migrated properly as part of the EAR deployment.
Thanks.

BPC_MS ver 10 security integration with BusinessObjects BIP

We have a client that has both BPC for MS ver 10 and BIP 4.1. They want to use the BIP tools such as Web Intelligence to report against the BPC data. They also only want the user running the report to see the data they are allowed to see based on the data access profiles in BPC. How can this be done without maintaining security in both BPC and BIP separately?

Hi Francois & José Jaimes,
BPC for MS is not integrated in Netweaver platform that's why you didn't find any documentation about real estate.
There aren't relations just with BI you can use Xcelsius dashboard or ODBC to read the cubes but I don't think you will found the files to connect with RE (for BI connections see please 1731626 - Data source connectivity options between BusinessObjects BI tools and BPC).
If you need to insert data in BPC from RE you need to export this data in a flat file and after to Import in BPC through the standard import package using transformation and conversion files, to transfer data from BPC to RE use the standard export package.

Roberto

ADF Security integration with Web Logic Security using SQL authenticator

Hi,
I was trying to find a suitable way of handling the following requirements:
1. Administrators should be able to create the roles, groups, users and assign users to roles.
2. User, Roles, Groups should be stored in DB and Users need to be authenticated accordingly.
3. I need to be able to map roles with security permissions on Taskflows, JSF Pages, on UI level using groovy expressions and even at Entities level.
I performed the following tasks:
1. I created back end Security tables, created SQL authenticator as provider and defined the queries in it then I created ADF Application and used JMX APIs to call the SQL authenticator to perform its operations.
2. I defined the roles and respective resource permissions in ADF i.e. Jazn xml file because my requirement no 3 would not be achievable without using ADF security.
Now in this scenario how I can login a user in ADF context and assign roles programmatically that I authenticated from JMX APIs? Or is there any other suitable way to handle these requirements?
Thanks.
-Moeen

Hi Charu,
Thanks for your reply.
Can we programmatically add a user in adfsecuritycontext as a currently logged in user, a user which is not present in jazn.xml file? If yes then can we programmatically assign the roles which are defined in jazn.xml to that specific user?
