Obiee and BIP security - obiee 11g 11.1.1.7.1

Hello,
I have configured an external LDAP setting for authentication. Reordered the new LDAP as first authentication provider. The issue i am facing is , that i am able to login with external ldap users and weblogic as expected in obiee. But when i login as weblogic user, and try to click on Manage BI Publisher link (to add jndi connections), it throws error Unthorized user! ...
Any clue, if i need to do separate setting for BI Publisher?
Regards,
Shruti

Hi Shruti,
Can you please check the security file xmlp-server-config.xml under this path MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/config/bipublisher/repository/Admin/Configuration and see whats the securitymodel in here
also try to delete the weblogic user from catalog users folder and then try to login and see if you can access it now

How to Install OBIEE and BIP on a machine with Windows XP ?

Hi,
I am very new to OBIEE and want to learn it by myself.
Can I install OBIEE and BI Publisher on my home PC with Windows XP ? Can I install client and server on the same PC?
If no, what are the other options ?
Please help!!
Thanks!
Yogini

Thanks for the link, but I am referring the same to install OBIEE.
The pre-requisites section says :
Client operating systems:
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
- Microsoft Windows 2003 Professional with Service Pack 1 or later (32-bit only)
- Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 1 or later
Server operating systems:
- For Oracle BI Server: Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4/2003 Server
Thats why I wonder if I can install client and server on the same machine with Windows XP ?
Please do let me know.

OBIEE and Essbase security pass through

Hi All,
I'm using Essbase as a data source for OBIEE. Right now I'm trying to use Hyperion security to pass through OBIEE. I've setup OBIEE to use Hyperion Shared Services as custom authenticator and Hyperion users can log in. However, I'm having problem passing through the users to Essbase. I've changed the Essbase connection pool to use :USER and :PASSWORD. When I tried to check for global consistency, I'm getting the following error
[38098] The password in the Connection Pool '"server"."Connection Pool"', associated with the Repository Initialization Block '"SUB_VAR_BLOCK_server"', contains the use of :USER or :PASSWORD.
When I tried to open any existing Essbase reports from OBIEE, I'm getting this error (as expected)
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. Essbase Error: Login fails due to invalid login credentials (HY000)
Any ideas on how to get around this issue? Thanks
Regards,
Gerd

Hi Gerd,
Could you please explain in detail how you have setup OBIEE to use Hyperion Shared Services as custom authenticator so that Hyperion users can log into OBIEE?
Please provide the steps and custom authenticator function?
we would need to implement it fromm scratch. So, your help will be greatful.

Data and Dashboard Security using ROLES Variable in OBIEE 11g

Hi all,
I'm currently using OBIEE 11g. I'm wondering how to implement the security for data and dashboard in the 11g.
Below is the sample of how the security matrix requirement when I use the 10g version. In 10g, we usually use GROUP (for the data filter in RPD) and WEBGROUPS (for dashboard objects) variables in my initialization block to read from database. As we have 2 different variables, it is possible to control security separately for data and dashboard.
GROUP | Country
G1 | US
G2 | FR
G3 | UK
WEBGROUPS | Dashboard
WG1 | D1
WG2 | D1
WG3 | D1
WG1 | D2
WG2 | D2
WG1 | D3
WG3 | D3
WG3 | D4
Now, in 11g, the recommendation is to use ROLES variable (for application role). So, how would I apply the required security matrix above in 11g using just ROLES variable? Do I still create G1, G2, G3, WG1, WG2, and WG3 as application roles then only use G1-3 in the RPD to filter the data and only use WG1-3 in the analytics to serve as webgroups?
Any advice on this? Thank you very much.

"...Could you elaborate more?"
I mean that role creation and user->role assignment will be managed outside of to the obiee interface - whether that's via the database, LDAP, fmw etc.
Webgroup creation and assignment is managed within the obiee interface and I think that has a lot of benefits - generally you have people responsible for shared folders and dashboard creation, so having them responsible for webgroups and presentation permissions is preferable for me.
"are you saying that I use the role G1-3 only in the RPD, while using the role WG1-3"
Yes .. I'm assuming you have something like
G1 | US
G2 | FR
G3 | UK
WG1 | Finance
WG2 | Marketing
WG3 | Sales
Which becomes
R1 | US
R2 | FR
R3 | UK
R4 | Finance
R5 | Marketing
R6 | Sales
And John belongs to R1 and R4, Fred belongs to R2 and R4 etc. So you would set your data filters against R1-R3 and use R4-R6 like webgroups in the presentation services.

Robert

Sales cloud and On premise OBIEE integration

Hello
Customer has Sales cloud and on premise OBIEE 11g and would like to embed OBIEE dashboard to sales cloud customer screen. Simple adding of HTML iframe doesn't work, as I guess clickjacking protection is working. So question is how is possible embed on premise OBIEE dashboard to Sales Cloud. For on priemse Fusion application I found property oracle.adf.view.rich.security.FRAME_BUSTING which switch on or off clickjacking protecton. Is it possible to disable this property on Sales Cloud?
What other way of embeding of OBIEE reports are available?
Thanks in advance,
Vladimir

Hi Vladimir,
the clickjacking protection you mentioned is indeed in place, but it is meant to prevent the embedding of Fusion Apps (incl. Sales Cloud) UIs into iFrames.
Your scenario seems to be the other way around: you want to embed content into an iFrame provided by Sales Cloud, right? In that case, the clickjacking protection of the embedded UI served by OBIEE comes into play. And since it's on premises, you hopefully have control over it (though I don't know how you control it since I am not an OBIEE expert). The way I typically test whether a page can be successfully iFramed is by building a very simple static html page hosted on a server somewhere, with its primary content being an iFrame for the desired page.
For further reference, I wrote about iFrame issues on our blog: http://blogs.oracle.com/fadevrel/entry/troubleshooting_embedded_web_content
Hope this helps!

Issue in using rpd and webcat of OBIEE 11.1.1.5 on 11.1.1.6

Hi All,
I went through many topics on forums on how to upgrade the rpd and webcat from 11.1.1.5 to 11.1.1.6,it was mentioned that :
The obiee11.1.1.5.0 RPD,Catalog are supporting in obiee11.1.1.6.0 version. but should deployee it via Weblogic EM(FMW)
http://obiee11gqna.blogspot.com/2011/05/obiee-11g-deploy-rpd-create-new-catalog.html
I tried using the same rpd and webcat from obiee 11.1.1.5 and followed the above steps but after services are successfully started I cannot open the rpd in online mode it throws the error:
Successful completion of init block 'FndGetSecContext' is required.
could not connect to the bi server instance
and also on opening webcat its not accepting the paassword which earlier it had accepted.
Can someone please let me know what could be the cause for the above issues.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Amrit

Hi,
befor deploying your obiee11.1.1.5.0 RPD file just open as offile mode via obiee11.1.1.6. rpd then try check the
metadata gloable consistency (ctrl+k) then make sure no error i hope there is some issues on your init block its making problem just fix it then try deploy it and refresh GUID then try to login analytics it should work.
Note: there are some init block (I hope this init block FNDGetSecContext having problem just double check )
are failed just make sure and delete unused variables and init block and one more thing are u integrated with EBS?
thanks

How to use Javascript NQSWENav calls between Apache/OBIEE and MS-IIS/Siebel

Hoping someone can help me. We're upgrading systems, moving from Analytics 7.7 to OBIEE 10.1.3. Analytics Web used to sit on same IIS web server as Siebel CRM. In Analytics 7.7 I used:
[html]"<a href=\"javascript:NQSWENav('All Activity List View','Activity List Applet With Navigation','"@"'); \">"@" </a> "
to allow report links to open the CRM Activity window (where "@" was populated with the value of ROW_ID). This worked in an environment where both CRM & Analytics resided on the same Windows machine and shared the same IIS web server.
We have now upgraded Analytics 7.7 to OBIEE 10.1.3, and have moved OBIEE to a much more robust AIX machine which runs an Apache web server. My users do not want to loose the functional ease of running a report in embedded Analytics, clicking a link, and navigating to the relevant CRM form.
This functionality is no longer working in the new split environment. I'm not surprised by this, but would like to get it working again if possible. Does anyone know how to get this to work across hosts and web servers?

Hi Redneck,
the OBI web server and Siebel web server must share the same virtual IP. Excerpt from the original doc:
[snip]Also, the host name for the Web server (or Virtual IP) serving content from the Siebel application server must match that for the Siebel Analytics Web Server, because the JavaScript Security model prevents a script on one server from affecting another.[snip]
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12104_01/books/AnyInstAdm/AnyInstAdmnAppIntegrate12.html#wp1011778
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12103_01/books/AnyWebAdm/AnyWebAdm_Dashboard4.html
We had this already a couple of times and putting the two web servers under the same virtual IP will do the trick for you.
Cheers,
C.

OBIEE and LDAP problem

Hi all!
After connecting our OBIEE 11.1.1.5 to LDAP we faced with a strange problem: after one user enters the system any next user logged in has the same privileges in OBIEE as the first one.
We turned off the following caches:
- WebLogic Principal Validator Cache in a security realm Performance section
- Group Membership Lookup Hierarchy Caching in our LDAP authentication provider Performance section
But the problem still occurs. Does anyone have any suggestions on this?

Hi I was having endless issues with OBIEE and LDAP, I followed the exact steps here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/web.1111/e13707/atn.htm#SECMG169
These worked for me, so you could check for a start these recommended setting are same in your environment.
Thanks

Hi,
You can install 11g and Informatica on same machine, just check the system configuration required.

OBIEE and Solaris installation

Hi,
This is my first time doing install of OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 on Solaris10 and all working fine using default OC4J basic install. However when I want to use JBOSS AS 4.3 instead of OC4J, I am having some issues and hoping someone can shed some light here.
1. OBIEE was installed using 'oracle' user.
2. JBOSS was installed using 'jboss' user.
3. Deployed analytics.war to JBOSS - no problem.
4. Deployed xmlpserver.war to JBOSS by extracting war files into xmlpserver.war directory, modified xmlpserver-server-config.xml to point to XMLP repository.
5. Login to BIP ok.
6. Trying to modify OBI Presentation service settings (eg. server name and port) but getting "Could not write to configuration file" error.
Is this because OBIEE and JBOSS installation was done by two different users (therefore file access permission issue)? What is the best practice for installing OBIEE and J2EE app server in Solaris? Should it be installed by the same user or two different users but under the same group maybe? Any guidance will be greatly appreciated!
Edited by: gommie on 08-Sep-2009 18:19

Definitely sounds like a permissions issue.
I couldn't vouch for best practice, but our installations were originally done two separate users (one for OBIEE, one for our app server, OAS) - but I changed it all to run under the same user as OBIEE.
It makes controlling services easier, and it eliminates file permission problems like you're seeing.
You could probably do it with putting both users in the same group and some umask magic to make sure files always have the same permissions for group as owner - but why bother if you can use the same user.
We saw problems running under two users which probably could have been solved in the long run by understanding exactly how OBIEE and app server interact and working carefully with umasks etc -- but again, unless there's a really good reason to have separate users, why make extra work for yourself.
I suppose if you were on a shared server and not the only application running on jboss I could see why separate users might be a better idea - but that's the only reason that springs to mind.
** caveat ** I'm not a unix sysadmin, I'm an app guy dabbling in unix - this advice may be wrong, it may in fact go against best practice. but it's worked for us so far :)
BTW is there a reason you're not installing the latest version, 10.1.3.4.1?
<edit>
please don't [cross-post|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=3744343#3744343], IMHO - this could be a useful thread and having replies in two places dilutes its usefulness in the future

Migrate OBIEE 11.1.1.3 rpd and catalog to OBIEE 11.1.1.5

Is there is any upgrade process to follow (if so, what they are) to use OBIEE 11.1.1.3 rpd and webcatalog with OBIEE 11.1.1.5 installation.
Is there anything extra needs to be done apart from just about moving them to 11.1.1.5 installed machine and deploy/specify path through Oracle EM Fusion Middleware Control.
Thanks in advance for the inputs.

Session variable filters in the integration between OBIEE and webcenter

Hello All,
I have a customer with the requirement to make sure that reports created in answers and containing sessions variables in filters definition will be correctly filtered once called from webcenter.
So if an OBI report is diplayed in webcenter and contains the same type of filters (based on session variable), will the results be filtered based on the specified variable?
In other words can we use session variables in the integration between OBIEE and webcenter?
Thanks Olayinka

Have you follow all the steps written here :

Do you have create the groups ?
Do you connect as a member of the group XMLP_ADMIN ?

OBIEE and ESSBASE federated queries..

Hello all ,
I am working on a requirement that requires configuring federated queries using OBIEE and Essbase as an aggregation layer. I am able to configure everything except for one dimension where this dimension in Essbase uses shared members. Any help /guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sunil

Thanks for the response. I did go further from that day on the issue. But this is where I currently am stuck.
The issue is on this:;
1. Have a Measure in Essbase at a Grain higher than then OBIEE grain for a dimension and I need to create a report which calculated based on both the essbae measure and the OBIEE measure.
I have to create a report which would take the Essbase Measure, Divide by the OBIEE measure and display the value (Note: This OBIEE measure and the grain is only available at the OBIEE layer)
Ex:
Essbase Info:
D1 D2 Amount
x y 200
OBIEE Info:
D1 D2 D3 Percentage
x y z1 30
x y z2 70
Desired Output
Is
D1 D2 D3 New Amount
x y z1 60
x y z2 140
The behavior I am noticing is , since D3 has no relationship to Essbase Measure, the report results with a null for the Essbase Measure (Amount in this case). I understand this is natural but am not able to figure out any other means to address this requirement. I am exploring using EVALUATE and MDX, but am not sure, if I would be able to get the desired output.
Thanks
Sunil
