OBIEE 11g - Integrating via external corporate website to OBIEE

Hi all -
Unusual challenge, our we offer a hosted application (SaaS) where our users are authenticated on our application. Recently, we've invested in OBIEE 11g and have successfully deployed recommended Oracle Enterprise Deployment. We have a custom security solution (user permissions in Oracle tables, not LDAP), and have not implemented Oracle Identity Mgmt and don't plan to.
We would like to use GoURL / Action Framework to access Report content, dashboard content, content as port lets embedded in an app dashboard to an iFrame.
My Question: can we configure OBIEE to accept just "username" without password in a trusted login scenario? we are trying not to expose password in URL (encrypted or clear text).
We done an exhaustive search to review GoUrl, web service / soap calls, reviewing impersonator passcode techniques (everyone having same pad in initialization block), etc.
Thank you in advance for your most needed responses,

There is a good post that lead me on the way to solving this problem here:
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2010/07/obiee-remove-whole-portalbanner.html
The code he posts won't work for 11g, but it's close.
Paste this code into a text box on each page of your dashboard, make sure you check the box that says "contains HTML"
<script type="text/javascript">
var tds = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
for (var td = 0; td < tds.length; td++) {
if (tds[td].className != 'HeaderTopBar' && tds[td].className != 'HeaderSecondBar' ) {
continue;
if (tds[td].className == 'HeaderTopBar') {
//alert (tds[td].className);
var x = tds[td].parentNode;
//alert (x.className);
x.removeChild(tds[td]);}
if (tds[td].className == 'HeaderSecondBar') {
//alert (tds[td].className);
var x = tds[td].parentNode;
//alert (x.className);
x.removeChild(tds[td]);}
</script>

  • Passing filters to hyperlinks in BI Publisher-Obiee 11g integrated report

    Hi,
    I've a report requirement to build a BIP report in integration with OBIEE.
    In my dashboard, I've a dashboard prompt, obiee reports and a BIP report.
    BIP report contains hyperlinks (created in template builder) which direct me to the obiee report pages.
    Now, when u apply the prompts, BIP report filters the data accordingly and displays it in the same page. (OBIEE reports also gets filtered accordingly).
    After this, when I click on the hyperlinks it takes me to the obiee page which is NOT filtered according to the prompt.
    So I would like to know how do I use the filters in these links?
    Can I please get some help on how to make this work? This is an urgent requirement!
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    You can try these steps
    On the BI Publisher 11.1.1.5, Go to Administration --> System Maintenance --> Server Configuration. Under the catalog heading,Test Connection. If the connection is successful, then click on the button Upload to Bi Presentation Catalog".
    After the above step you should be able to see your folder under catalog.
    Let me know if this helped.

  • Integration with externally facing website

    Hi,
    We've been evaluating BIEE for both internal and external use. We would like to be able to embed charts and tables on webpages for our external users but would like to avoid the extra baggage that comes with setting up a portlet container.
    I have been surprised that it is not possible to directly obtain chart data via either the web services or 'go' url. Both will only produce HTML which is of no use to us as the BI server will not be publicly facing itself. Our intention was to manage chart access via our webapp which would essentially act as a reverse proxy.
    If anyone has experience in exposing BIEE charts externally, I'd like to hear how it was achieved. At the moment I am not sure whether to fight it or just use a completely separate charting engine on our front-end and leave the BI generated content for internal consumption and email reports only.
    Regards,
    Tom

    It's a little tough to guess at what you need with the info provided so far.
    How timely does the data transfer need to be? I would consider MQ (or alternative messaging sub sytem) if it needs to be a real time transfer. If this can be batch orientated you can build extracts without purchasing (in my opinion). Also, Oracle has built in XML capabilities so I would start there before purchasing 3rd party software.

  • BPM 11g integration with External UI or ADF UI

    Hi ,
    Can any one throw some idea how to integrate BPM Human Task(User task component) with already existing ADF UI.
    I've a Approval Human Task . And my ADF team has developed the UI project. I need to integrate both BPM and ADF UI.
    Can any one give an idea on this...
    Regards,

    Hi Experts,
    I have solved this issue..
    For example if we want to integrate the ADF UI and BPM. Just run the Login.jspx and used that url and add the URI in EM console in Component metrics of Human task.

  • OBIEE 11g - How to create clean looking pivot tables

    Hi, does anyone have a good way to clean up the appearance of pivot tables in OBIEE 11g? I'm a big fan of Stephen Few and firmly believe in the "minimize non-data ink" theory. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot of stuff on OBIEE pivots that I can't easily clean up. Does anyone have ideas for:
    1. How to remove the "gray" / "beige" coloring from column and row dimension? I opened a ticket with Oracle 6 months ago, and basically they've just responded that it is a "enhancement request" for a future version (aka not going to see it for a LONG time)
    2. For my "across" dimension, I don't seem to have a good way to show the dimension name. There is an option under "column properties" to "display heading" - but when this is turned on it scrunches the heading up directly over the column that has the down dimension members. I really want this to go across the pivot.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Implementing SSO in OBIEE 11g

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement to implement custom SSO with OBIEE 11g.
    Is configuration of SSO in OBIEE 11g similar to that of OBIEE 10.1.3 ? (10g steps mentioned below)
    1. Changing Instanceconfig.xml
    2. Adding a user “Impersonate ” in Repository
    3. Adding Impersonate user Credentials to Credential Store using cryptotools
    4. Add Credential Store information to Instanceconfig .xml file
    Are there any additional configurations required to be related to weblogic integration with OBI?

    What sort of SSO setup are you looking to implement? The security model in 11g is much more complex and unfortunatelly it's all in Weblogic. I don't think that was a good idea but Oracle it's obviously pushing to use all of its products into OBIEE.
    On the positive side OBIEE 11g now supports configuring authentication and SSO with Active Directory and Windows Native Authentication using Kerberos (the next generation authentication protocol after NTLM). This SSO solution is sometimes called "silent SSO" as does not require domain authenticated users to login to OBIEE and it's completely transparent. In view it's the "real and proper" SSO solution as it's server side and it's unspoofable. Oracle Support Note ID 1274953.1 provides guidance on how to do that. The configuration process is complex but it provides a way to use Windows Native Authentication out-of-the-box in OBIEE 11g without having to rely on custom/3er party components or any additional license costs.

  • BI Publisher in OBIEE 11G

    Hi
    I have few doubts in regard to BI Publisher in OBIEE 11G. Here they goes
    1) Is it required to install BI Publisher separately or is it already provided integrated in fusion middleware in OBIEE 11G.
    2) What is the process to integrate BI Publisher with OBIEE 11G.
    Please help by providing answers to the above queries.
    Thanks.

    user8654742 wrote:

    2) What is the process to integrate BI Publisher with OBIEE 11G.As far as the OBIEE 11g Integration with BI Publisher 11g, it comes with basic integration like navigation to BI publisher form OBIEE analytics. Share the same security model etc. If you can elaborate your question here, it would help me answer it correctly.

  • Configration of LDAP in OBIEE 11g

    Hi All,
    Client has asked me to de the LDAP configuration. I will be doing first time. I have gone through the different posts the information is enough to do the same.
    But i have one question on this. It might be funny for all of you :-) but it keep meaning for me.
    There are few parameter need to be passed while configuration.
    Base DN: Generally we give the value like. (CN=Users,DC=venkatad,DC=venkatlap,DC=com) , My question here is: The value for CN and DC will be provided from the client(or any specific value) or we can put any thing.
    Bind DN: (CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=venkatad,DC=venkatlap,DC=com) here also my questing is same.
    Bind password: is it generic? or any LDAP server releted?
    port: 389 (Default LDAP port without SSL) 389 is the default, without SSL. So here my question is: If there is SSL then what would be the value for Port no.
    And lastly could you please let me know what are the different parameters i need to ask from the client for LDAP authentication configuration.
    Regards
    Niraj

    ex.: like user and group(object of the user and group canonical name) path structure (Path : Functional user ID)
    my group info got it from LDAP team
    GROUP:
    CN=deva,OU=SG,OU=OBIEE,OU=Groups,DC=reg9,DC=Hex1,DC=OPM,DC=com
    5) Group Path Structure (Object)
    like e.x: (Path : Functional usergroup)
    6) Access required for our functional ID: deva
    1) ldifd.tex files ---> permission required for our functional IDdeva
    2) Windows Active Directory access required for our functional ID(deva)

  • Removing Admin Server in OBIEE 11g on AIX 6.1

    Hello all,
    1. We had installed OBIEE 11g software only install and configured a instance which we had to uninstall later on. We had followed the steps provided by oracle for uninstallation of instance - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/bi.1111/e10539/c6_deinstall.htm#CIHIDHEB
    2. We had also deleted the contents in bifoundation_domain.
    3. Then we had deleted Managed server entry from console.
    4. Then we executed config.sh for another instance and the port allocated to the new console is 7002, with a new set of Admin and Managed server.
    Kindly suggest a way to delete AdminServer of the first instance, where console is using port number 7001.

    Before going to install obiee11g,
    just clean all existing obiee11g install registry, RCU Schema(DEV_BIPLATDFROM/DEV_MDS),
    physical folders,
    temp/tmp and services.msc (admin server/bi_server, OPMN/node manager -->delete services) , ODBC - obiee11g existing connection remove it via registry then reboot u r pc and then start install ...

  • Obiee 11g How to let user change password

    obiee 11g How to let user change password ?
    i not mean use weblogic console。 normal user how to change password。

    With 11g, OBIEE essentially uses the 10g notion of external authentication.
    By default, this is done by the WLS (Weblogic) LDAP identity store, but it may be done by another supported Authenticator either within WLS, or in the OBIS meta data (i.e. Custom Authenticator or LDAP). As such, OBIEE no longer has any control over user passwords; this is why the steps referenced in note 1102353.1 do not apply to OBIEE 11g, but only to internal/repository-defined users in OBIEE 10g.
    So, as with password maintenance in OBIEE 10g when an external authenticator is used, it is within that external authentication system that password is changed, not within OBIEE 11g. There is no option in OBIEE 11g to allow users to change passwords.
    There are two work-arounds with which you can change your password:
    1) From the Weblogic administration console/WLST.
    You need to give such user access into Weblogic console or access to browse through involved MBean hierarchy and other modify permissions. Changing the password using WLST instance is covered here:
    Ideally, the console and WLST approaches are used by Administration accounts to manage other users. But the console and WLST can be made to allow other users to change passwords (which will be more or less like carrying out an administrative task by users themselves)
    2) Using a programmatic approach.
    Here the application that intends to provide password change functionality to its users should implement this functionality on its own (GUI plus call to the relevant Weblogic API). Weblogic provides an MBean that the application can use to accomplish this. See here for more information.
    An enhancement request exists for this functionality. This is unpublished bug 11836170 - enable non admin users to change passwords in obiee 11g.
