Users and Group in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I am trying to bind LDAP with OBIEE 11G. I am using following Rittman Blog
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/11/oracle-bi-ee-11g-security-integration-with-microsoft-active-directory/
whenever i click USERs and GROUPs it takes a hell of time(more than 30 mins) to display users and groups, Please suggest if any thing can be done abou it
All other tabs and setting are working fine.
I did not find any thing in Adminserver.log
Please suggest
Regards
Saurabh

Hi Kishore,
In 'All User Filter' field is left blank
In 'User Name Attribute' I filled sAMAccountName.
Also i check Adminserver-stdout log, the one which we create after we create windows services. There i can see following error
Jan 18, 2012 6:00:16 PM GMT+05:30> <Error> <Console> <BEA-240003> <Console encountered the following error java.lang.RuntimeException: netscape.ldap.LDAPException: Server or network error (81); Cannot contact LDAP server
I guess its not able to connect LDAP server. But I checked all the attribues twice (on 10G LDAP configuration) they are working. I am not sure if there is problem in attributes or there is some setting I am not aware about.
Please suggest!

Browsing users and groups on WebLogic 11g

I'm having a following "problem". I'm trying to programmatically list out all the users and groups that are currently on WebLogic. I need this because I'm building an SOA application that manages tasks for each user. Is there an API that adresses this problem?
Thanks for help! :)

OBIEE+ Where do I assign user and group mappings to the repository objects?

Hi
I'm using the Oracle BI Administration Tool and I'm creating users and groups. Where do I map my users and groups to the repository objects?.
Regards,
Néstor Boscán

Hi,
I was reading your reply for this post. Could you please tell me in which tool you set the User security. I couldn't find Repository Admin in BI Administration tool.
Repository Admin > Manage > Security.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

WLS Users and Groups interface questions / observations

I'm new to WLS, having just installed OBIEE 11g for the first time. There are some oddities in WLS around setting up Users that I'd like to ask about, to see if I'm just missing something, or if the interface really IS this bad. Please feel free to comment in any way, or to correct any statements that are erroneous. Here goes:
1. The use of Previous and Next buttons instead of a vertical scroll bar for finding users and groups in their respective lists. What if you have several hundred users, and the one you want to modify starts with the letter 'Z'? That means clicking the Next button several dozen times. (Security Realms … myrealm … Users and Groups … Users) Not only is there no scroll bar, there's no search box either. The only way to get to a user near the end of the alphabetical listing is the Next button. Is that correct?
2. After adding a new user, what's the next most logical thing to want to do? How about assigning that user to Groups? So why do I have to click Next several times to find that new user in the alphabetical list? I don't see a sortable 'Date Modified' field for the table of users, nor a link to the "Most Recently Added" user. Nor can I assign groups during the same action as creating the user. In the example in #1, I might have to click Next several dozen times to get to the user I just added. Is that correct?
3. When creating a new User, immediately after clicking New, where is the most likely place that I'd want to go? How about the Name field? Right now, the cursor rests in some indeterminate location. I have to hit the Tab key 14 times, or move the mouse into the Name box and click it. The active cursor position does not default to the Name box when creating a new user. Is that correct?
4. I don't see a 'Create Like' button for creating Users, so that existing group membership can be easily replicated. I'd like to be able to add a new employee by clicking to highlight an existing user from the same department, clicking a 'Create Like' button, then entering a new user name and password, with all group memberships assigned automatically based on the source user. The same could be said for replicating groups. I don't think that exists. Is that correct?
5. I don't see a clean way to return to the User list on the page on which I clicked a user name. Imagine that I'm going through my entire list of users one at a time to set an attribute. I click on the user JSMITH and set the attribute. The only way to get back to JSMITH's page and select the next user list is to hit the browser's back button three times, or to click the Users and Groups breadcrumb at the top of the screen and use the Next link multiple times to find that page again. Is that correct?
6. I don't see a way to bring up a Group and assign Users to it from a list. It appears that the only way to assign a User to a Group is to access a User profile and click Groups. If we're creating a new group that has 200 users selected from a list of 500 users, that could potentially represent somewhere between 5000 and 10000 mouse clicks. It would be much more efficient to be able to bring up a group, then select its members from a list of users. That does not appear to be possible. Is that correct?
7. It also appears that when assigning groups for Users, the list of Available Parent Groups sorts the lowercase entries after all uppercase entries, so that groups that start with the letter 'a' fall after groups that start with 'Z'. That is not the case with the list of users. The User table uses a case-insensitive sort. Is that correct?
8. When I want to delete more than one User, and the ones that I want to delete are on different pages, there appears to be no way to select those users from multiple pages at the same time. So, imagine that I have 500 users, and I want to delete two users, one of whom is listed on page 48, and the other on page 50. I would have to click the Next button 47 times to find the first user and delete it. At that point, the interface returns to page 1, and I have to click the Next button 49 times to reach the second user. Is that correct?

Hi,
Regarding your first question, you might want to press the "Customize this table" button, then select the maximum allowed amount of rows in "Number of rows displayed per page:" that would resolve some of the problems you're having with the interface. I do think this is not a great graphical tool, and there are some usability issues.
Regarding the adding of users to groups, it seems the way you describe is the only way of doing it, however you could try using a script instead of the graphical console, the easiest way of making it is adding a user to a group while using the "Record" button on the top of the screen to get a wlst script to use as a model, then create a new script with all new users you want to add/modify.

How to enable users change password in obiee 11g?

Is there anyone know how to enable users change password in obiee 11g?
And I have tried the method in obiee 10g, bu it didn't work.
Any help would be appreciate.

As per I understand your requirement,
In your Dashboard create a Presentation variable which receives the value of year you select.
Now in your analysis, select the year column along with all the measures you want (Actual, plan, Forecast, and what-if, etc).
Create a filter on Year column and convert it into SQL. Put the condition as:
"Year" BETWEEN @{Presentaion_Variable} - 1 AND @{Presentation_Variable}
You will get the result for selected year and the previous year.
Hope it helps..

Subject area security validating users and groups from external table

Hi all.
I don't have practice to put question here, but there is one problem, that seems don't work correctly in OBIEE.
I'm trying to put users in groups within external table and this works fine.
I put security on the subject area level like this:
SA1 -> GroupA allow, Everyone not allow
SA2 -> GroupB allow, Everyone not allow
External table:
User----------Group
A---------GroupA;GroupB
B---------GroupB
Users A, B and GroupA, GroupB exists in the RPD, but I didn't put users inside them, I want this from table.
From the init block, external table I'm taking users and join them in the group. Same name users and groups are also in the presentation service.
When i connect with user A i don't see any subject area, when go to My Account i see in Group Membership/GroupA and GroupB, so it's readed from the external table.
Why in this case the subject area permission is not working?
It works if I explicitly put users in groups, in the RPD.
I have read this blog entry http://kpipartners.blogspot.com/2009/07/groups-webgroups-and-delivers.html and it is said that this works, but I'm interested how.
What should we have in the presentation part, administration, Manage Privileges -> Access within Oracle BI Answers option for those two subject area?
This doesn't work or something is missing:
Re: Security on Subject Areas

What should we have in the presentation part, administration, Manage Privileges -> Access within Oracle BI Answers option for those two subject area?Yes, you should remove Everyone and add the relevant groups to each Subject Area. You don't need to set privileges in the RPD, in fact that's probably why it doesn't work for you. Leave your RPD Presentation Catalog as "Everyone" = Read as you will controlling access from the Presentation Services and it should work.

Export users and groups

Hi all,
i saw a thread about getting a list of all users from the repository, but can find it anymore..
How can i get a list from all users in OBIEE with there full name and it would be even better if the groups could be included too.
I can get a list with usernames from the catalog administrator tool, but i need full names.
regards,
Osman

Hi,
You can view users and groups in presentation services.Go to Settings->Admin->Manage Preenttaion Catalog->show all group and user
If you can get their full name from rpd.
If you are using external table authentication you can get them from db table.
I am not sure about exporting them.. :)
Thanks,

User and Group privileges Migration

Hi All,
I am using OBIEE10g. I have created 2 users in RPD.2 Groups in RPD.same group name in Answer catalog.
then we created 2 dashbords.
We implimented below security,
"Dashboar1 for group1 and Dashboard2 for Group2."
Now,We have to migrate 2 dashboards and users and Group with privileges.
Could you please let me know how will do.
Thanks
Gram.

Hi,
If your production doesn't has any obiee contents.
Then, this would be your 1st rpd, catalog which moves on production, this can be done simply by copying contents to the same locations in the production server.
i.e. copy rpd, catalog to the production server (Rpd goes in Oraclebi - server - repository and change rpd in nqs config) and (catalog goes to oracle bi data - web - catlog and change the instance config catlog path).
If your production has any previous contents.
Then, you need to merge the exisiting ones. So, check for repository merge and catalog merge.

:USER and :GROUP session variables

Hi,
Please let me know the purpose of :USER and :GROUP variables. I have gone thru obiee docs but not understand clearly about these session variables.
regards
CK

If you have to display a welcome message in a dashboard page with the user name, you can refer the USER session variable in the request. It will automatically get substituted with the log on name of the user
Also you can use these variables in Authentication, authorization and data filters.

Hi r,
Make sure you close iTunes before shutdown. And you're quite welcome.

I am trying to stop programs from opening automatically when I turn my computer on. I tried system preferences users and groups login items...then I deleted them from the list but it did nothing.

Hi r,
It sounds like you're running Lion?
Have you tried running Verify and/or Repair Disk?

How to change default /Users and /Groups to different Volume?

Users are created in /Volumes/<boot>/Users and groups in /Volumes/<boot>/Groups.
We need these to be created on a different volume, eg., /Volumes/External/Users, and /Volumes/External/Groups.
Setup Assistant correctly put user Backups into */Volumes/External/Shared Items/Backups* and also correctly put web services on /Volumes/External/ServiceData -- we want to do the same for Groups and Users.
Groups are the most critical, as the group needs bulk storage. Users we could leave as is if it can't be done.
How can this be configured? We've read File Server Admin, Open Directory Admin, and Advanced Server admin from http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html without finding an answer.
Thanks in advance.

1. Create new folders on the external volume to hold users and groups, but to prevent confusion name them something other than "Users" and "Groups". /Volumes/External/NetUsers and /Volumes/External/NetGroups would be reasonable choices.
2. Share both of these folders (in Server Admin -> server name in sidebar -> File Sharing -> Volumes & Browse modes -> select each folder -> click Share near the top right).
3. Enable both folders for automounting on clients (Server Admin -> server name in sidebar -> File Sharing -> Share Points-> select each folder -> Share Point tab under that -> Enable Automount option) with the default options (Directory: /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1, Protocol: AFP, Use for: User home folders and group folders). Be sure to click Save (not just OK in the dialog).
4. To migrate users, run Workgroup Manager, and change the home location for the users you want to move (select Accounts in the toolbar -> /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 from the hidden pop-up menu under that -> User icon tab at the left -> select the user(s) you want to change -> Home tab on the right -> select the NetUsers option from the "Where" list). Then, for each user, run this command on the server: "sudo cp -Rp /Users/username /Volumes/External/NetUsers".
5. Similarly, move Group folders in WGM (Accounts -> /LDAP... -> Groups icon on left -> select groups to move -> Group Folder tab on right -> NetGroups in the list). Then, for each group, run "sudo cp -Rp /Groups/groupname /Volumes/External/NetGroups".
6. Test to make sure all is working before deleting the old user and group folders from /Users and /Groups (do NOT delete /Users and /Groups themselves, just the individual folders from under them).

Generate report to show all users and groups in Shared Services in EPM 11x

Hi,
Is there any way to generate a report (like a migration report or job status report) which can be generated through workspace/shared services 11.1.1.3 so that my admin can look at all the users and groups created. Something that I can view and probably print out? Any suggestions?
~Adeeba

Yes, I knew this one. This basically shows me the users and groups assigned specific provision access. Is there any way to view a report that shows which users and groups have access to dimensions of an individual planning application?
