OBIEE OVD and OID

We are trying to setup OBIEE to hit against Oracle Virtual Directory to authenticate users. Oracle Virtual Directory sits on top of 2 physical domains. Corporate users (employees) and Agents (external users). We can setup OBIEE to search both domains when authenticating a user and that is working. However, we can't determine which domain it actually used to finally authenticate the user. We need to full DN for downstream authorization processes. Is there anyway to get the full DN that OBIEE used when they authenticated the user?
Thanks,
Kirk

OBIEE has to bind to OVD with a DN. If OBIEE first does a search in OVD for a DN and then binds to OVD with the found DN, then you can see the DN in OBIEE or OVD logs.

EUS with OVD and OID

Has any one configured OVD 11gR1 and OID 11gR1 with DB 11gR1 for EUS? Can you share your experience in configuring these components?
Thanks,

1. Extending Schema : Even though we have selected the 'auto-update schema' option during OAMIdentityServer installation, is it mandatory to explicitely extend the schemas of OVD and OID, as mentioned in the "Extending Directory Schemas" section in "Setting up OAM with OVD" chapter of 'OAM Installation guide'.
- no, if you selected auto update (and it completed successfully), you do not have to extend the schemas manually
2. Creating Mapping Files:
a. Out of the box, if we try to create New Mapping, the FileTemplate listing does not have any entry that corresponds to OID.
b. On the other hand, to load the Mapping Templates explicitely, plugins\OracleAccessmanagerOViDTemplates\mapping_templates folder does not contain the OID related mapping template files.
a - no, I do not see any templates that correspond directly to OID either
b - i do not see this directory int eh file system at all
What are you trying to map?

OVD and OID integration

Hi all,
How to do OVD-OID integration?
Version 11.1.1.5.0.
I am not clear in the steps Which is mentioned in the Oracle Document. Please anybody give the steps.I will follow that one.
- Deena.

I would assume you are talking about creating virtual views in OVD for OID
You will have to create a LDAP adapter in OVD. Please see the OVD documentation for the same http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15586_01/oid.1111/e10046/basic_adapters.htm#CHDJFEJG
Hope this helps,

Oracle Enterprise User, OVD and MS Active Directory (AD)

Hi,
I need to authenticate Oracle Users from MS Active Directory.
If I create an Oracle Enterprise User, can I just use OVD or do I need also OID ?
If the answer is YES, I just need OVD do I need just to install OVD or do I need any other installation from OIM in order for it to work?
Thanks in advance for answering this post : )

Hi,
I am not sure that you are correct.
In the meantime, some one mentioned a white paper to read: "Directory Services Integration with Database Enterprise User Secuirty. In page 10 it mentions a scenario: EUS deployment using Active Directory and OVD
(without OID).
The cons mentioned are: Need to extend AD schema to include EUS meta-data (which I am not sure how its done).

How to Integration OVD and AD

Hi All,
I was trying to integrate OVD and AD and I want it to be done with out using Oracle Enterprise Security.
I dont how could I finish the task...?
Please help me guys
Regards
Sri

hi Sir,
You don't need EUS to finish this. In the case of Active Directory, Oracle Virtual Directory can be configured to point to either the global catalog directory or to point to each domain controller in the domain.

in reference note 376811.1
please advise
thanks

Hello Hussien,
Anyways I upgraded to 10.1.3.5 patch_set 10gAs on ebiz r12.0.6
I have other question regarding the doc ID 376811.1
in there is section
Pre-Install Task 4: Apply the latest certified Application Server Patchset
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 is certified with the Application Server Patch Sets listed in the table below:

I installed oracle 10gas 10.1.4.0.1 its up and running so do i need to just apply the patchset oracle Identity management 10gR3 patcheset (10.1.4.3)
or I have to apply both 10.1.4.3 and the oracle Application server 10g release 2 (10.1.2)patch set 3(10.1.2.3.0) ???
because in enterprise manager application server control it says version 10.1.2.0.2 and identity management components show 10.1.4.0.1 .

Obiee 11g and custom j2ee app using the same cookie name

Hi,
I wrote a same j2ee web application. i'am using authentification through a realm configured in the web.xml.
This web app is deployed in the same weblogic than obiee 11g. What i want to do is to embed my application in a dashboard using an iframe tag, and use the same login from analytics to my custom web app.
In this article http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11035_01/wls100/security/thin_client.html#wp1039551, it is said that by default, all web apps in the sames weblogic server are using the same cookie name so that they share authentification between them. However, i have read in the web that analytics in obiee 11g is using a cookie with the name "ORA_BIPS_NQID".
In the weblogic.xml of my custom application, i set the cookie-name parameter to ORA_BIPS_NQID. However, in the dashbord, it still prompt for authentification to my custom web app.
How can we share authentification between analytics and a custom web app in the same weblogic ?
NB : I dont want to pass the username et password through the url.
Thanks.

By default, if you don't specify a cookie-name in the weblogic.xml configuration file, the weblogic server create a cookie named JSESSIONID for your application. For exemple, if two applications use the default configuration, both of them will use the same cookie name which is JSESSIONID. In this case, when you log in the first application, your are automaticaly logged in the second application with the same credentials. I have already test this kind of integration and it works perfectly. You only need that the two applications are deployed in the same weblogic server.
Now, i want to have the same behaviour between obiee 11g and my custom application deployed in the same weblogic server. I read somewhere in the web that obiee 11g presentation service (analytics) is configured with a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID". So in the weblogic.xml configuration file of my web app, i specify a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID" to have the same cookie-name between the two application. But, it still not work. It prompt for authentification in the dashboards.
I now, that such an integration is possible, because the other bi applications (mapviewer, bipublisher,...) are actually other web applications. However when using, for exemple, maps in dashbords, the mapviwer application automaticaly user the credentials of the user connected in analytics.

Hi All,
We are using OBIEE10.1.3.4 version on windows envorinment.In Production instead of doing manual start and stop services we need to automate one batch file that batch file has to bounce all the OBIEE services.And we need one batch file for clear all the cache enties.
can u advice me how to make this batch files .
Thanks,
Vijay.

Hi Vijay,
Create a file PurgeAllCache.sql and add the SAPurgeAllCache ODBC Function in it.
{call SAPurgeAllCache()};
And save this file in a directory (for instance OracleBI_Home\Cache).
Then from a command dos, call nqcmd with this statement :
OracleBI_Home\server\Bin\nqcmd.exe -d AnalyticsWeb -u Administrator -p Password
-s "OracleBI_Home\Cache\PurgeAllCache.sql" -o "OracleBI_Home\Cache\PurgeAllCache.log"
It will purge your all cache entries..

Hi,
Thanks for reply...i checked1307549.1 in metalink, In that link they are telling us to modify some tables in the data base.i have some question regarding the following steps please help.
=== ODM Solution / Action Plan ===
1. Use the following query to find fields with "plain text" values:
select svr.svr_name, spd.spd_field_name, svp.svp_key, svp_field_value
from svp
inner join spd on spd.spd_key = svp.spd_key
inner join svr on svr.svr_key = svp.svr_key
2. Set these plain text values to null after making backup of table.
*(kashyap:: Which fields values we have to change)*
3. Edit the Directory Server to re-set values.
*(kashyap:: could you please explain this)*
Expected error at this stage:
-- no "System Error call admin...", but that makes sense since the values in question pertained directly to the Directory Server --

Difference Between OBIEE 10g and OBIEE 11g

Hi everyone,
I have a doubt when choosing two versions of OBIEE, 10g and 11g.
Actually, is there any big difference between 10g and 11 version ?
From the point of view of easiness finding tutorial in internet, simplicity of using the tool, and other considerations, which one is better ?
I hope you guys could also explain with your arguments.
Thanks

Hi,
Few differences..
Architectures-
OBIEE 11g architecture...http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/07/09/obiee-11gr1-architecture-and-use-of-weblogic-server/
OBIEE 10g architecture....http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/obiee_overview
Features-
New features in OBIEE11g...Re: OBIEE 11g
http://blogs.oracle.com/robreynolds/2010/07/new_administration_features_of.html
I have a doubt when choosing two versions of OBIEE, 10g and 11g.If you are new to OBIEE its best to start with 10g,there are lot changes in 11g.It takes time to get used to it and you many not get enough docs or material to read,may face some new issues also.
Actually, is there any big difference between 10g and 11 version ? Yes there are some differences between them...you can see them in above links.(many things like graphs,server)
From the point of view of easiness finding tutorial in internet, simplicity of using the tool, and other considerations, which one is better ?For sure obiee 10g as 11g is new many of them just started using it,so you may get less help on this if you face issues & may not get enough tutorial in internet and OBIEE10g is bit easy to use.
Its best to you go for OBIEE10g,parallely you can try 11g.

Srikanth
