OBIEE authentication

Hi All,
we are planning to implement external database authentication in OBIEE. Can we use OBIEE database(warehouse) for external database authentication.
Thanks,
Raji

Hi,
You mean Data warehouse which is having your facts and dimensions?
If so you can use it,but give encrypted passwords.
Follow this of externaltable authentication : http://bintelligencegroup.wordpress.com/2010/09/23/external-table-authentication/
For password encryption : http://varanasisaichand.blogspot.com/2010/10/external-table-authentication-encrypted.html

  • How to integration obiee Authentication with external app?

    now i need integrate obiee with external app(web application).
    one user have 2 roles. one is teacher, others is school admin.
    when he login in external app, the first screen show teacher and school amdin. he click teacher login in this system.
    after user login in . system set the role into session.
    then he want to see obiee dashboard in external app side.
    in obiee side, i need do some resources control for this role.
    but i how to get this role? i can get the two roles from LDAP server. but i need confirm user login in external app use which role?
    i no idea for this .please help me.
    Thank you very much.

    Hi,
    Sounds like your OBIEE apps needs to be able to get the role from the session (I assume database session), which means OBIEE needs to be able to get the same session from the external app. Does the external app set a cookie or something that would identify the session? If so use that cookie in OBIEE to get the session? More than likely need more details of the architecture of you external application!

  • 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
    check and this,

  • Re: OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 integration with Hyperion shared services 11.1.1.3

    I am working on OBIEE authentication using hyperion shared services. To achieve this I did the following steps,
    1) Registered the shared services in Answers using 'Manage EPM workspace'
    2)Modified config.xml to enable HSSauthenticator
    3)Modified instanceconfig.xml by adding external auth tags
    4)In rpd created a init block using custom authenticator.
    When I login into Answers using a username and password from hyperion shared services, it is saying invalid username/password.
    Log file says ' xxxxxx authentication failed in repository star, Odbc driver returned an error (SQLDriverConnectW)'
    Can some one explain me if I am missing anything here?? Is there anyone who has successfully implemented this before.
    Thanks,
    Sandeep

    Sandeep,
    I am fairly certain that this integration actually works in the other direction.
    That is from the Oracle Hyperion Workspace portal you need to log in and once you are in Workspace from the file menu an option for "Oracle Interactive Dashboards" should be available if all is configured correctly with the integration. That link will open up OBIEE and take the user directly into the dashboards without having to get prompted by the OBIEE login screen.
    If you have the BIC2Go image (Dan Vlamis' team, vlamis.com) for Oracle BI 10g you can see this integration's configuration and see it working correctly.
    I hope that helps

  • Need info on OBIEE webservice impersonate ()

    Does impersonate() function in OBIEE WSDL work for all types of OBIEE authentication.
    Please provide any docs related to impersonation().
    I tried for RPD users and it works fine... But for other authentication i could not configure it....

  • Authentication with RSA SecurID

    Hi,
    Can we use RSA SecurID for OBIEE Authentication? if yes, Can recomend a blog or document?
    Thanks,
    Gustavo.

    Yes, you can. But you will have to develop a Custom Authenticator.

  • Configured for LDAP authenication , still giving odbc error.

    Hi,
    I have gone through several posts in forum.I did not find solution for my issue.
    Here is what we have done
    We are trying OBIEE authentication and authorization by LDAP (Nortell Directory Server).Here is what i did
    -Impersonator User created and Credentials are added to Oracle BI Presentation Services Credential Store
    We have following config in instanceconfig.xml
    <Auth>
    <SSO enabled="true">
    <ParamList>
    <!--IMPERSONATE param is used to get the authenticated user's
    username and is required -->
    <Param name="IMPERSONATE"
    source="httpHeader"
    nameInSource="Z-USERID"/>
    </ParamList>
    <LogoffUrl>http://IP/analytics/saw.dll?Logoff</LogoffUrl>
    </SSO>
    </Auth>
    -Configured LDAP Server under Security Manager/LDAP Servers( set cn attribute in advanced tab for user name attribute).Tested connection It is successful.We are not importing users.
    - In Variable manager created an intilization block named it 'Authentication' and mapped three System variables(USER,GROUP,WEBGROUPS) with LDAP atrributes( for groups and webgroups we provided an attribute under user DN). Tested by supplying a username and password it pulled the attribute values.
    We log into a WebApplication and the webapplication redirect the request to along with header Z-USERID.
    https://XXX.COM/analytics/saw.dll
    Here is how it is working:
    If supply username and password in two URL parameters nquser and nqpassword it works,i get Dasboard page and other links according to the configured groups in LDAP.
    if i do not supply URL parameters nquser and nqpassword, i get "not logged in page."
    the initblock that deals with authentication and autherization is working fine.
    Single sign on is not working, it is reading the httpheader that we supply.I am not sure why it expecting password.
    ssw Logs show following error
    Odbc driver returned an error (SQLDriverConnectW).
    State: 08004. Code: 10018. NQODBC SQL_STATE: 08004 nQSError: 10018 Access for the requested connection is refused.
    nQSError: 43001 Authentication failed for loggedinIN_USERID in repository Star: invalid user/password. (08004)
    I tried some of the suggestion on this site like change passwords to 8 characters of impersonator passphrase etc with no success.
    It looks like it is trying databse authentication even though we configured initblock with LDAP settings.
    Please help!.

    Hi
    have you created an impersonate user in the Repository ??
    Yes,added him to groups Administrator and XMLP_ADMIN
    Can you open the url through firefox and look at the cookies ..,
    Yes, I opened, When i get not logged in page, when i check cookies ,
    i see following cookies
    SAWISAPI
    nquireID
    sawP  - Blank
    sawU - loggedinUSERID
    another two session based cookies.
    open the saw.log in textpad and launch your sso link in Firefox
    Search for the nquserID and check the values ...it will be encrypted but should be there !!
    I searched both saw and server logs, i did not find "nquserID" String.ofcourse i see logged user's login ID in saw logs.
    Also do you have load Balanced web servers .. if yes can you ask your web admin to enable sticky session ??
    I checked with IChain admin, if the webapp is load balanced they would add sticky bit.But currently app is not in load balanced environment.
    Thanks Sid,  Please help me resolve this,
    Thanks

    Sinece, when access the htpp://my.biserver.com:7777/analytics, IE did not redirect to the sso server login page, So i think there are some errors at the Apache/oc4j layer.
    And I did not do the steps under "Provisioning for Oracle BI Using
    Directory Integration Platform (DIP)" in chapter 10. Does this will affect the sso process?
    Another question is what happed when I access the url : http://my.ssoserver.com:7777/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login does a servlet match pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login will execute at sso server? what is the process that the servlet will do to implement the sso process?

  • There is error 'No such file or directory' during loading custom authentica

    Hi,
    I am working on OBIEE authentication using Hyperion shared services. I did the necessary changes in config file, like modifying config.xml to enable HSSauthenticator and enabling external authentication to instanceconfig.xml. However BI Server is unable to load the driver file for the Hyperion custom authenticator. Here is the error message.
    There is error 'No such file or directory' during loading custom authentication module '/opt/local/usr/home/Oracle/OracleBI/web/bin64/libsawobisauthenticatorproxy643r.so'.
    2011-06-26 21:04:05
    [nQSError: 13011] Query for Initialization Block 'Hyperion EPM' has failed.
    I have set the env variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to this path but still I am getting the same error msg. I also have full previleges on this file. Would be really great if anyone can tell me why I am unable to load this driver file on to server. Thanks in advance

    I think I figured out. Instead of giving path thru bin64 , I gave it thru bin folder, which is a 32bit file. I think they installled a 32bit OBIEE.

  • Is it possible to use Custom Password Algorithm in SQLAuthenticator?

    Dear All,
    I need to use User table of my other application for OBIEE authentication.
    I'm trying to use database tables as authentication provider in WebLogic.
    But my password is using custom algorithm.
    Similar like:
    create or replace FUNCTION encpass
    ( p_username in varchar2, p_password in varchar2 ) return varchar2 is
    begin
       return ltrim( to_char( dbms_utility.get_hash_value(upper(p_username)||'##'||upper(p_password),
                1000000000, power(2,30) ), rpad( 'X',29,'X')||'X' ) );
    end digest;Is it possible to use custom algorithm on OBIEE authentication? If possible, how?
    Thank you,
    Eba

    I had same situation like this & just put a custom function at application side, to convert the password in same format what saved in database.
    While my wls setting was SHA-1 & PLAIN PASSWORD.

  • Problem with authentication in OBIEE

    Hello, I have a problem with authentication in OBIEE.
    A user who does not exist, enter the application and can enter but can not access almost anything, it is very rare because in addition webcatalog are created within the folder with your name and no one created it.
    any ideas?

    I created SR and i solved the problem.
    The problem wasn´t in weblogic. We migrated rpd 10g to 11g, I had define one initialization block session in RPD, when we disabled it, it´s running fine.
    Oracle recomended work in weblogic in obiee 11g

  • Dbms authentication in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with configuring dbms authentication in obiee 11.1.1.7.1. I followed the document below, and made all the steps.

(I refreshed GUIDs, this is not related) According to debug steps my problem should be with adapters since I can login to em console with my db users after giving privilage, but I don't know what is wrong.

    What do you think the problem could be? Any help would be appreciated.
    Were anyone able to configure dbms authentication with 11.1.1.7.1 or 11.1.1.7?

    Regards,
    Malli

    Hi fiaz,
    That links talks about 10g version.
    Step1: We have imported a secutiry table in Physical layer.
    Step2: Creating a session variable by selecting initilazation block.
    Select user_name,group from security_table where user_id=':USER' and pwd=':password';
    step3: created DISPLAYNAME,GROUP & USER VARIABLES in edit target window
    After these modifications i was trying to logging with new user, which is there in security table.
    I am getting an error that is invalid user or password.
    Is there any other changes does it required here.
    Regards,
    Malli

  • OBIEE 11g -  Weblogic Authentication Denied

    Hello All,
    I did install OBIEE 11g 11.1.1.3.3 in my personal PC which has windows XP SP3 and I did choose "Enterprise Installation" as an option.
    Before installing this I did install the Loop Back Adapter and also set the IP address in the Host file ( 10.10.10.10 Mycomputername mycompany.com).
    Installation went through very much fine no errors at all. Analytics page was opened after the installation and When I gave the weblogic Credentials it was Unable to sign in.
    When I tried to login to Weblogic Console it says "Authentication Denied".
    Checked the services Weblogic Node manager started but Oracle Process Manager(instance1) did not start (1053 the service couldn't start in a timely fashion).
    Then I tried to StartBIServices from Start-> Allprograms->Oracle Business Intelligence gave Weblogic Credentials .... 2 cmd prompts were opened and all services are started and also the anlaytics page was opened and gave the credentials again same error "Unable to sign in" and agin tried to login to weblogic the same error "Authentication Denied". This is really strange....
    I thought this is something to do with rebooting the system after installation. So I restarted the system and started the services Weblogic Node Manager and Oracle Process Manager (instance1).
    This time both of them were started.
    Again tried to start the BI services Start-> Allprograms->Oracle Business Intelligence , gave the credentials ... this time only one cmd prompt was opened and it says weblogic authentication denied and its forcefully shut down and Other cmd prompt stopped at WLS.alive...
    Here is the Detail Log from Adminserver.log:

    Yes, but my username and password was simple and straight its weblogic/password123...
    Do you guys know how to reset the weblogic Admin password ?
    I want to try to debug this error first...... If I couldn't get any help anyhow I am going to Deinstall...
    but this shouldn't be the case evrytime.... because we are facing the same problem in our company ...Where we installed 11g in one of our DEV environments...
    There should be a some solution for this problem...
    Is there anything that I am doing wrong?
    Do I need to provide more information from Logs to understand the problem?
    Thanks
