OBIEE 11G authentication integration with EBS 11 - is it possible?

Hi experts,
My OBIEE 11.1.1.5 is installed on Linux 64 bit machine.
I've thoroughly performed all the action listed in the guide, but I'm getting the famous 'You are not logged in' message.
Has anybody succeeded to enable security integration between OBIEE 11 and EBS 11?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hi Deva,
Thanks for your reply.
I've heard from some people that there's a bug in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 that prevents integration of OBIEE 11 security with EBS 11.
I'm trying to find anyone who actually succeeded to get the thing done.
I used the DeliverBI document as well as the official guide.
Is there any way to "debug" my settings? How can I know - what's wrong?
Thanks,
Alex

APEX integration with EBS R12.1.1 - no SSO

I am trying to complete APEX integration with EBS R12.1.1 in simplest way. I have a non authenticated report page that I need to link to through a menu and function on one of the existing forms.
Rod West document
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/apex-ebs-wp-cabot-consulting-169064.pdf
offers the jsp approach which I like to implement however the jsp will not compile correctly and I am not sure why - I have already fond one error with the code as listed in the document:
ojspCompile.pl compile -s 'LaunchApex.jsp ' retry ---> will not work
ojspCompile.pl compile -s 'LaunchApex.jsp' retry --> will work
compile will fail starting at this point of the code:
PARALLEL COMPILATION: 1
[10389] !!COMPILATION ERROR(0) LaunchApex.jsp:
_LaunchApex.java:70: illegal start of type
if (ctx==null) {
^
has anyone tried this approach and got the jsp to compile with no errors or can you see what is it?
thanks in advance.

Hello Mini:
thanks for the info and I have followed the steps as listed. I am not sure what line is the bad code you listed is on - here is the copy of the jsp I am working with and maybe you can point to a specfic line(s) that need to be changed from what to what.

OID Installation Questions pertaining to integration with EBS 11.5.10.2

Our Environment is E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 and we want to investigate/view OID/SSO in action. Ultimately, we'll attempt to use Microsoft Active Directory as the source (of truth). I had performed OID/SSO integration with EBS about 3 years ago and remember the "overall" scheme, but Oracle's documentation/downloads page has left me thoroughly confused, hence, I am asking those that have been through the process .... THANKS IN ADVANCE
(1) Do I need to install the base AS 10g Infrastructure and Metadata Repository via 10.1.2.0.2 installation or can I go directly to installing OID 10.1.4.0.1 ??
Here is what I believe the steps to be, PLEASE, correct me if I am wrong ...
(1) Install 10.1.2.0.2 Application Server Infrastructure by selecting "Infrastructure and Metadata Repository"
(2) Install 10.1.4.0.1 and select to upgrade an existing 10.1.2.0.2 installation. Once 10.1.4.0.1 has upgraded everything, including the database to 10.1.0.5, I assume that I can simply remove 10.1.2.0.2 through the Oracle Installer. Is this correct ??
(3) Once upgrade to 10.1.4.0.1, I believe that I need to download a Metadata Upgrade Assistant patch, (mrua), and run mrua,sh to upgrade MR to 10.1.4.0.1 which will be apparent by querying app_registry view.
(4) Upgrade 10.1.4.0.1 to 10.1.4.3
The documentation is confusing and hard to find for me. Do these steps seem to accomplish the tasks or am I missing something ??
THANKS IN ADVANCE

I didn't do the install myself but we went straight to installing 10.1.4 Identity Manangement, although I believe that Infrastructure components which underly it are essentially the same as 10.1.2. As far as I know you can't use 10.1.3 because it lacks those infrastucture components.
See MOS Doc 233436.1

User authentication when OBIEE is integrated with EBS

Hello guys
I have a conceptual question about how OBIEE authentication is performed in an integrated environment with EBS? If the goal is to have users access to OBIEE based on their roles given in EBS, what kind of authentication is it needed for such implementation?
Do I import users and group from EBS database or LDAP server (if its available)? what kind of session variable and ini block is created if I want to do data level secuirty based on user groups?
Please give some basic idea and guidelines on topic
Thank you very much

hi,
the final solution must face and fill your needs....
Bi suite has 3 ways of making-having user-groups...
1.manual
2.ldap
3.from external database
If the goal is to have users access to OBIEE based on their roles given in EBS, what kind of authentication is it needed for such implementation?
-->match the roles from EBS to your liked in OBIEE

BI Apps 7.9.6 authentication method with EBS integration

Hi all,
since the default BI Apps documentation (meaning Security Guide, which deals mainly with Init Block setup for different security groups for EBS implementation) is not very clear about it, I just would like to assure - the only way, how to integrate BI Apps OBIEE environment with EBS int term of security (authentication/authorization) is via the method, described in Oracle® Fusion Intelligence For E-Business Suite - meaning through setup BI Pres Service to get cookie value from EBS session and populate NQ_SESSION.ICX_SESSION_COOKIE whic is then used in OBIEE Init Blocks to setup the context of EBS user and based on that context , initialize different session variables (even row-wise - for populating variables used in security filters - e.g. LEDGER) for logged EBS/OBIEE user , is that right ? There isn't any other method, how to authenticate EBS user in OBIEE - like using the similar way for BI Apps implementation with Siebel CRM (authenticate user via executing Init Block, assigned with Connection Pool, in which :USER,:PASSWORD variables are used to authenicate user againts Siebel OLTP db) ?
Just to want to assure, that this is the only way, how to integrate BI Apps OBIEE environment into EBS from security point of view.
Thanks very much in advance for your answers/opinion.

I'm not using EBS R12.1.3 but I can give a suggestion, if possible try it once.
Using current configuration (Informatica and DAC) run a data load sourcing from EBS R12.1.3.
Let me know if you try this :)

11g authentication directly against EBS (bypassing need to log into EBS)

Is it possible to configure EBS authentication that allows users to directly authenticate against the EBS database? I see some documentation/threads on this but it seems to be for setting up a link "within EBS" to use EBS credentials to log into OBIEE. Has anyone successfully configured security to directly autheticate against EBS DB (bypassing the need to log into EBS).
Any input is appreciated.

See below my thread this might be of some help to you.

OBIEE 11g authentication

Hi,
Can OBIEE 11.1.1.7 support authentication of EBS and LDAP together, like:
1. Users automatically logging into OBIEE from EBS
2. Users logging from OBIEE login screen as standalone with LDAP authentication
I understand the responsibilities/groups need to be common among EBS and LDAP, but how to achieve this both authentications.
Thanks,
Ven

Discoverer integration with EBS R12 !!!

Hello Sir,
I need help to install/integrate Discoverer with R12.
Actually, our clients are using Discoverer 4i in current EBS 11.5.10.2 in production. We have just upgraded EBS in TEST environment from 11.5.10.2 to R12.1.3.
I had suggested client that Discoverer 4i is actually de-supported and they need to upgrade Discoverer version to minimum 10.1.2.3 or higher to integrate it with R12.1.3.
Now, client also have requirement for Discoverer to be certified with MS Excel 2010 format. So I have suggested to upgrade Discoverer version to minimum 11.1.1.4.
Latest certified Discoverer version is 11.1.1.7.0 as per note Using Discoverer 11.1.1 with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 (Doc ID 1074326.1)
1) Can you please provide your opinion and any documentation which I can follow to install/integrate Discoverer with R12 ?
2) Do I need to first install separate 10gAS for installing Discoverer 10.1.2.3 or Fusion middleware home for installing Discoverer 11g ? If yes, where can I find doc for this installation ?
3) Since 10g support has ended July 2013, where can I get media for installing 10gAS ?
4) Is there any additional licences required for using either Discoverer 10g or Discoverer 11g ?

1) Can you please provide your opinion and any documentation which I can follow to install/integrate Discoverer with R12 ?
In addition to the doc you have, please see:

2) Do I need to first install separate 10gAS for installing Discoverer 10.1.2.3 or Fusion middleware home for installing Discoverer 11g ? If yes, where can I find doc for this installation ?
Installation Recommendations - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
Installer Screens - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0)
3) Since 10g support has ended July 2013, where can I get media for installing 10gAS ?
You can download WebLogic 10.3.6 from WebLogic Server 12c (12.1.1), WebLogic Server 11g (10.3.6) and Previous Releases
4) Is there any additional licences required for using either Discoverer 10g or Discoverer 11g ?

OBIEE 11g - APEX Integration through Action links

Hi All,
We are trying to achieve SSO between OBI and APEX. We got this working by the below process.
1. Integrate OBI domain with AD
2. Integrate APEX with the same AD ( Perform standalone configuration)
3. Create Action Link in OBI pointing to APEX form
4. Accessing Action Link does not prompt the credentials
5. APEX form opens up in a separate tab in browser
We checked this by logging into OBI using an AD ID and jumping to APEX from there through action link. However the user context is not getting carried forward to APEX. For example if we login as "d123456" AD user in OBI, when we access APEX form the user name is appearing as "NO BODY" at the top right corner. We have a use case where in we want to capture the ID who is accessing the APEX form. The field is updated as NOBODY.
But if we login to APEX stand alone URL, then the actual AD user name can be seen on APEX pages.
Can some one help on how to carry forward the user context from OBI to APEX.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm rearching the integration between Siebel Sales 8.1 and and obiee 11g, can you please share how to do the integration between the two? Some issue we can discuss together.

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.
here is the link.

OBIEE 11G Implemented - Upgrading Oracle EBS 11g to R12

We have OBIEE 11G implemented and are currently sourcing the data from Oracle EBS 11g. We are upgrading our source database to R12 and need to know the impact on our Informatica mappings. Can anyone point me to some documentation, or have leave some helpful hints on how to proceed with this project. Thanks.

Hello,
I assume you are using BI APPS, there shouldn't be any impact on informatica mappings. Informatica comes with prebuit adapters for EBS 12 version, you need to use ORAR12 adapter.

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,

Help needed in Apex Integration with EBS

Hi All,
Currently, when trying to integrate with EBS these are the steps I followed.
1) Created apex generate hash and apex launch procedure in APPS DB.
2) Created Profile in Application Developer Responsibility.
3) Saved above profile in system administrator -->Profile -> System and set the site level as http://<hostname>:<Apex port>/pls/apex
4) Created a function in system administrator , type as SSWA plsql function and called the launch procedure and passed parameters as my apex application and page id.
5) Created a Web PL/SQL entry under System Administrator Responsibility -> Security -> Web PL/SQL for the launch procedure.
6) Created menu, responsibility and assigned to the user.
For the APEX application , currently I have not given any login page. The login is through EBS only. I have given logout URL in apex application to EBS Login page. Now my problem is , when I click Logout the session of EBS does not get invalidated. How can I achieve this ?
Secondly, When I give the APEX application URL directly in the browser it will open without asking for the EBS login credential. But I do not want this to happen. I need it to be authenticated through EBS login credential.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks
Alaka

Hi Scott,
I tried the solution given in this URL.
http://oracledbas.blogspot.com/2008/11/oracle-application-express.html
It is not working for me.. I tried in the forum also.
While creating authentication scheme I gave Oracle EBS Login Page as Session Not Valid URL. But every time I login to EBS and click responsibility then menu which has APEX screen, it is not validating username and password and it redirects to EBS login page which i gave in "session not valid URL" (it is going to a loop.)
Now my problem is when I login to EBS and click responsibility then my APEX screen should validate the EBS login and directly it should open. It should not ask for any other (APEX login)login page. If I paste the APEX application URL in any browser it should ask for EBS login page.
When I logout it should invalidate the session of EBS.
Thanks
Alaka
