Websphere Portal Integration Kit

Hi,
I have gone thru the Websphere PIK and notice that the Authentication method that it supports is either secEnterprise or secLDAP with Siteminder. Can we integrate with Windows AD and single sign on for Webphere PIK?
thanks and regards

HI
AUTigerFan could you or anyone possible offer some detailed help on how to tweek the releavant files mentioned i nyour message.  I appear to have a similar setup to what you described and would appreciate your comments.
I have the following set up in a standalone lab environment server:
Windows 2003 Enterprise Server
IBM WebSphere Portal 6.1.x
Sun ONE Directory Server
Business Objects Enterprise XI Rel 2
Portal Kit Rel 2 installed together with the files from
JAAS SSO Enablement Extension for IBM WebSphere (BOLoginModule.jar and sso.jar)
I followed quite clearly all of the indications in the documentation and when i configure the portlet kit web.xml file with secEnteprise  no user name or password.  I can sucessfully conect to the  Document List portlet with any account that exists in LDAP Repository as well as BOEbut can only acces what ever the guest account has access to in BOE.
The BOLoginModule.jar is configured as per all the documentation  ie in the wp_profile session I create shared files for jar files indicated together with the new LoginModule, I also added the new parameters where I activated the type of authentication to secLDAP but it does not appear to  make any difference.
Upon closer inspection of the BOLoginModule.class it would appear to have under the DefaultCMS the secEnterprise type authentication together with the guess account without password.  Which would explain why the only conecction allowed is secEnterprise.
I want to be able to activate SSO access to all the different users registered in BOE and Directory server using secLDAP authentiacion.
Has any one had any success implementing secLDAP authentication.  I am even now considering bypassing Portal altogether and incorporating CAS authentication as a workaround to implementing SSO between IBM Portal and BOE.
Any help would be gretaly appreciated.
Best regards
Gaston

    Java Portal Integration Kits integrate Enterprise, not Crystal Reports.

  • Xcelsius Portal Integration kit for Sharepoint not showing in the gallary

    Hi Experts,
    I am testing the Xcelsius in my organization. After creating a dashboard , I am trying to integrate it in my Sharepoint portal.
    For that I installed SP webpart container in the server. During installation it was not showing any wizard to me for selecting the options. After installation , i am trying to configure it in the webpart galary but ! couln't find the Xcelsius Webpart container in that list.
    What to do to show it ? Could anyone guide me ?
    Regards,
    Jyothi

    i'm not sure how it works with Sharepoint... however, i can tell you how we use the portal integration kit within WebSphere Portal.
    first, the PIK itself is only used for BO integration, not Xcelsius integration (unless you are doing SSO in which case the BO login module is required).
    the Xcelsius integration comes from creating the web parts on the client. For example, for WebSphere there is a tool that is loaded onto the client machine called "XcelsiusPortletCreationUtility". the purpose of this utility is to take a swf file and wrap it in a war file that can be deployed to the portal. i would assume that  Sharepoint works in a similar way with a client utility.
    also, within the Xcelsius file you must create a portal data connection, even if it's not actually used.
    please look through your Xcelsius documentation or try to find the specific document that explains Sharepoint integration.

  • Unable to install the BusinessObjects XI Portal Integration Kits on shrepoi

    Hi all,
    I am attempting to install the following kit onto my sharepoint 2007 installation:
    BusinessObjects XI Release 2 SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit
    Download BusinessObjects XI Release 2 SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit - ZIP 5MB
    My Sharepoint is fully up to date and is version      12.0.0.6335.
    Each time i try to install, I get the message:SP3 Patch is required to install Sharepoint 2007 Integration Kit. I believe that this is already installed as whenever I try to install the SP3 Patch I get:
    The expected version of the product is installed on your system.
    I have checked and it looks to me that version 12.0.0.6335 is the most up to date and surpasses the SP3.
    Can anyone assist?
    Kind Regards,
    G

    Can you confirm the version of XIR2 from CMC application -> settings tab.
    XI R2 SP3 version start with 11.5 not with 12, please check you have installed the correct version of BOE.

  • Duplicate appSettings section using SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit

    We have installed the BusinessObjects XI Release 2 SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit on a MOSS server and are successfully viewing reports in SharePoint.
    But, when we ran the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard, the appSettings section of the web.config with only the Business Objects settings within gets duplicated.  This causes all of the SharePoint sites which use BO to go down becauase of the duplicate appSettings section.
    Have you seen this behavior and is there a newer version of the integration kit available which may repair it?
    Thanks,
    Eric

    As mentioned earlier we will have a native 64bit support for SharePoint 2007 64bit, probably next year.
    It would be enhanced version of SharePoint 2007 PIK with functionalities at PAR with .NET infoview.
    I will like to put a disclaimer mentioning that plans are subject to change

  • Authentication issue with Xcelsius/Portal integration

    I am facing an issue with the way we have integrated our Xcelsius dashboard with our corporate portal. I know this probably is more of a SDK question than Administration, but I figured I will ask it here anyway since Tim and some others are diverse enough in their knowledge base. This might be LONG post but please advise if anyone has any good pointers.
    We have an Xcelsius dashboard that needs to be served up via our corporate intranet (based on MS Sharepoint 2007). Now we are NOT using the MS Sharepoint Portal Integration Kit, but just doing a basic integration of the SWF call within a web part on Sharepoint. All this means is that within a portlet (web-part) on Sharepoint, I am making a HTTP call to the openDocument URL to invoke the SWF file. So the SWF is actually served up from our Tomcat App Server, and displayed onto this frame within the portal. That is the basic idea.
    To achieve this, what I did was write some custom code using the Java SDK to modify the openDocument a little bit. By doing so, I was able to insert some behind-the-scenes-login code wherein no matter who the portal user (Win AD-based) is, he is logged in to BOE as a generic "dashboard-user" and the dashboard is served up. This worked fine for the first dashboard where all we had was SWF and some WebI linking using openDocument (no full-InfoView access).
    But in this second dashboard now, what we also have is a hyperlink for users to get to InfoView to do Ad-hoc reporting. What this does is open a child browser window from within the portal (dashboard) --- and it remembers the BOE session for the generic user id "dashboard-user" and logs the end-user in to InfoView using that. But what I actually want is that the end-users, on this new window, should only be prompted at the traditional InfoView logon screen where they can manually enter their Windows AD password and get in. Thus, I would like to keep the dashboard SWF page session separate from the InfoView ad-hoc session, which I cannot seem to do because of the browser relationship and session maintenance.
    I am trying to find a way where I can simulate a single sign-on for dashboard viewers on the portal, but at the same time let them jump off to InfoView as themselves.
    Any thoughts on how I can do this?
    Notes:
    We DO NOT have Single Sign-On enabled for InfoView
    We are using Windows AD authentication (manual, no SSO)
    We are on Tomcat

    Sarang Deshpande wrote:
    1) If the InfoView app on Tomcat (desktoplaunch) is configured with Vintela, openDocument calls from the portal with automatically work using behind the scenes SSO, correct?
    in XIR2 everything that falls under infoview should SSO when infoview is setup for SSO (not the case in XI 3.x)
    Sarang Deshpande wrote:
    2) What is the best practice when it comes to the service accounts needed? I have implemented Windows AD manual auth already so I have a service account that use for that. Should I be using the same on and making vintela/SSO-specific changes to it...or should I have a separate vintela service account and deal with two different ones..each for a diff purpose?
    There is no best practice per se but the less service account the lower your chances to duplicate an SPN, functionally everything seems to work just as well with multiple as it does with 1 (of course with 1 there is less management work) If you click the SSO link in my forum sticky post I have a section explaining this with some suggested methods of deploying a service account(s)
    Sarang Deshpande wrote:
    3) Other than some minor browser configurations that might be required, is there anything else that I should communicate to the team about what might be required to be "pushed" to users' PCs?
    Using the default config nothing should be required on the client machine (unless SSO has been disabled in the browser or you intend to use a url that contains a period ..... (i.e. FQDN or IP) with hostname URL (the default) it should just work.
    To note if you have XP SP2 or older there is a microsoft spnego bug you may need to apply a fix if you aren't patched to SP3 (about 5% of our customers run into this).

  • What do I need to install Integration Kit for SharePoint Server 2007

    What do I need to install the Integration Kit for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007? It gives me an SP3 needed error but does not tell me what SP3. Has any one sucessfully installed this kit? Please help.

    Hi,
    The sharepoint PIK is available for BO enterprise only. SP3 is refering to BO enterprise XIR2 SP3. This Service Pack is not available for CR 2008. In order to integrate CR 2008 in BO enterprise XIR3 you need to install SP0 on top of CR 2008. But as I said above without BO enterprise you won't be able to use the PIK.
    I copied the following system requirements from our Install Guide for BOE XiR3 PIK:
    System requirements
    For a list of system requirements, consult the Platforms.txt file included
    with your product distribution. For additional important information that may
    pertain to your deployment, it is also strongly recommended that you consult
    the Release Notes included with your product distribution.
    In general, the following components must be installed and configured
    correctly before you install the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 Portal
    Integration Kit:
    u2022 Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services or Office SharePoint Portal
    Server 2003.
    u2022 BusinessObjects Enterprise XI .NET SDK (on your SharePoint machine
    or machines).
    u2022 Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (any edition).
    u2022 BusinessObjects Enterprise and Crystal Reports (on either the same
    machine and/or on a different machine).
    Kind regards,

  • Installing SharePoint 2007 Integration Kit on BO XI R2 SP5

    Hi there,
    We are trying to install sharepoint 2007 integration kit but keep getting the error message:
    "SP3 patch is required to install the sharepoint 2007 integration kit"
    Our setup...
    SharePoint 2007 running on its own Windows 2003 server
    BusinessBojects Enterprise XI Release 2 Support Pack 5 running on its own Windows 2003 server
    We installed the .Net SDK and Web Componet Adapter (WCA) of BusinessBojects Enterprise XI Release 2 Support Pack 5 on our SharePoint server
    Now, both versions of .Net SDK and WCA are the same on BO and SharePoint as required
    However after two attempts of installing the PIK we still get the message
    "SP3 patch is required to install the sharepoint 2007 integration kit"
    Does anyone know what is requried here?
    Thanks,
    Bernard.

    Hi Amit,
    Thanks for your response. I am not 100% sure of the answer to question 1 as we had someone external patrhing our servers and attempting to install the PIK. But I have detailed below the Crystal related products that were put onto the SharePoint server:
    1)
    Crystal Reports Server XI
    Crystal Reports Server XI R2 Service Pack 2
    Crystal Reports Server XI R2 Service Pack 5
    Crystal Reports Server XI Release 2 .NET 2005 Server
    I think he could have selected just the .NET SDK and WCA components from the main install and got to SP5 that way.
    2) The PIK I believe is to be SP2 from looking at the setup.ini file
    Msi=win32\cesp2k7.msi
    ProductName=BusinessObjects XI SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit
    MsiMajorVersion=2
    MsiMinorVersion=0
    MsiBuildNumber=2600

  • Does the BO Sharepoint 2007 Integration kit work with Sharepoint Serv 3.0?

    Hello,
    I have seen several posts about this topic but I still have not come to a correct conclusion. I have Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 and BO Crystal Reports Server XI R2 SP3. The getting started documentation for SP3 specifically says the portal integration kit can be used with "MS Windows Sharepoint Services or Sharepoint Server 2007". However when I try to install the the integration kit I receive an error "Microsoft Sharepoint Server 2007 is required to install the Microsoft Sharepoint Integration Kit".
    Is this true? Do I have something setup wrong or is the documentation incorrect and only Sharepoint server 2007 is supported?
    It shows WSS as compatible in this document http://www.businessobjects.com/pdf/solutions/microsoft/bo_microsoft_interoperability_final.pdf
    Any clarification would be helpful as I have wasted 1+ days trying to figure this out. I just need to know if Sharepoint services and the Sharepoint integration kit will work together with Crystal Server XI R2 SP3.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

  • BOE XI 3.1 + SAP Integration Kit on AIX 5.3 with WebSphere 6.1 (SOLVED)

    Hi everybody!
    On a recent installation I encountered a problem with SAP Integration Kit using BW Query with prompts; I want to share with you what I did to solve this problem:
    First of all, the environment:
    IBM Server with AIX 5.3
    BO Repository on DB2 9.5
    Application Server IBM WebSphere 6.1
    BOE XI R3.1
    Crystal Reports 2008 SP1
    After installing and configuring everything on the system, I encountered some problem launching in InfoView reports created with Crystal Reports 2008 based on BW query with SAP Prompts.
    The error that I recieved everytime was:
    com.sap.mw.JCO.$Function
    What I did to solve this was:
    1) Configure the absolute complete classpath inside the Application Server (path/sapjco.jar)
    2) Put the sapjco.jar version 2.18 at 32bit (unix version) that you can download at  https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000463654&
    Hope this helping you
    Bye

    Dear Gurus,
    The issue I am facing is described exactly in the document "Upgrading to CR 2008 V1 / SP1" by Blair Wheadon.
    The problem occurs when installing CR2008v1 and BOE 3.1 on the same machine.
    The solution is to download and install SP1.
    Unfortunately for me, I have downloaded SP1 but the installation is not going well.
    Message prompts that installation files are corrupt and that I should download again.
    I have downloaded twice. And tried several times.
    So I guess it might be due to the platform.
    But why wasn;'t the message displayed after BOE3.1 installation was completed?
    Do you guys have an idea?

    Looks like the user registry setting/configuration is not correct. The Websphere provides 2 integration point to external apps - the TAI and the User Registry. While it looks that the TAI (Trust Association) configuration is okay, the user registry config is not correct. Please check and let us know what is given there in the user registry.
    Hope this helps. Let us know.
