External table authentication not updating user group changes

Hello
I have a question..
In OBIEE, i am using external table authentication. I have user and user group tables where users and groups are stores.. Every Time I create a new user and assign them to a group, these records get inserted immediately to these tables with the correct user and group ID that matches with each other.. Then in my initialization block I have the query that fetches the user name and psswd as well as groups names..
All these are working at the initial user creation. For example, when I create user A and assign it to group A, the DB table has all of the records inserted correctly. When I log in to OBIEE using User A login, I see it is assigned to Group B.
The problem comes when I change the user A from Group B to Group C. When I did that, although the DB table gets updated correctly, OBIEE session seems to still be the previous one. As a result, when I log in the second time, I see the user A is still assigned to Group B instead of Group C.. This seems to be cached..
I double check these user tables in OBIEE, none of them are cache enabled.. The connection pool setting of the isolation level is set as default..
When I reinstall OBIEE all over again and re-log in the first time, this User is now assigned to Group C..
So seems to be that it is caching issue.
How should I go about solving this issue
Appreciate in advance

Make sure you check the box for 'Required for authentication' and also 'Use caching' should not check.

    Hi John,
    Thanks for your quick response.
    We configured "ReadOnlySQL Provider" by following the Oracle's white paper(Doc ID 1338007.1) Please find the below steps what we configured in weblogic console.
    1. Created the Data Source
    2. In the data source specified the Database driver--> *Oracle's Driver Thin for service connections: Versions:9.0.1 and later.
    3. Defined the connection Properties .
    4. Selected targets as Admin server and bi_server.
    Then Activate changes
    5. Created new provider by using ReadOnlySQL Authenticator
    6. In the provider specific tab we given the SQL statements and saved it.
    7. Restarted the Admin and Managed servers.
    After restarted the services when we open the Enterprise Manager page all the services are showed as Undefined - means red.
    Apart from that we followed your suggested link http://askjohnobiee.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-to-oid-authentication-with-groups.html
    For External table authentication do we need to configure BISQLAuthenticator or ReadOnlySQLAuthenticator ?
    If we configure BISQLAuthenticator we just import Groups from database to Console application. Then how can it Authenticated to the User ?
    Please let me know your ideas on this.
    Thanks,
    Syam

  • External Table Authentication

    Hi I am using OBIEE 11g.
    In my project we have to implement external table authentication. For that we have import the external table to physical layer. and build the repository variable using initialization block. In that i have written a following SQL -
    SELECT loginid
    ,grp
    ,display_name
    ,2
    FROM external_auth
    WHERE loginid = ':USER'
    and password = ':PASSWORD'.
    I have also create the variable target - LOGID, Group, Display Name and Log Level.
    and save the variable.
    My table structure like this - LoginID,Password,Grp, Display Name.
    When i am trying to save the RPD following error message raised.
    ERRORS:
    GLOBAL:
    [38095] The initialization string in the Repository Initialization Block '"Auth Variable"' contains the use of :USER or :PASSWORD.
    Any one to help to come out from this issue.
    Kindly provide any link for step by step guide.
    Thanks
    Gauthaman

    Hi Gautham,
    i think you created Repository Variable.
    Create a Session variable and Session initilization bliock. give the same query in Session Initialize block. it will work.

  • User-Groups Change history

    Hi,
    Does SAP system maintains the user-groups change history in any tables. Like it does for users in USH* tables.
    Is Group Creation date, etc is recorded in any table ?
    If user-group description is changed, is it recorded in any tables ?
    Any pointers would be a great help !!!
    Thanks & Regards,
    Chandrasekhar.

    You could check the USGRP* tables to see if any relevant information is present. Hope this helps.

  • Query related to external table authentication

    Hi Gurus,
    I am new to OBIEE. When we login to the Oracle Business intelligence, we used to give user as Administrator and password as Administrator.
    At this point, can we authentication the userid and password which is stored in external table in a users schema?
    ~ John

    "Administrator" will always be a user which is registered in the repository. All other users can be authenticated by external table authentication.
    You can create an init block which sets the USER system variable by
    SELECT user FROM users WHERE user = ':USER' and password = ':PASSWORD'

  • Excise Tables are not updating

    Hi,
    I have a issue in Depot sale. I created a GR against a PO. Then I posted a Excise invoice. But the excise tables are not updating.
    Why it so? Plz explain.......
    Thanks & Regards
    Saeed

    Hi,
    While doing the GR through T Code MIGO ( Good Receipt + Purchase Order) > Tick on "Item Ok" & Enter > and see one more additional menu will appear > Excise Invoice >Is there two options 1) No Excise Entry 2) Create RG23D Entry.
    If you need to update Excise detail through MIGO you can select "Create RG23D Entry" or if you not require to update Excise entry through MIGO you can select "No Excise Entry" & after generating the GR document you can proceed for Excise updation through T Code J1IG.
    Hope that you are understood.

  • HR Tables are not updated due to compression error

    We have a custom program that program used to copy data from Production system to other QA systems. The program uses the FM
    Table_decompress to decompress the file downloaded from Production and update the HR tables like PA* series in QA.
    While uploading the those tables from the file it updates half of the tables  and other tables are
    not updated as FM Table_decompress produces a exception saying "Compression error". what would be the problem here?
