Parameters in the Security Section
The security parameters specify default values for the Siebel Analytics Server security features. For more information about security, see the chapter on security in Siebel Analytics Server Administration Guide.
DEFAULT_PRIVILEGES
Specifies the values users and groups are assigned when they are initially created. Valid values are NONE and READ. The default value is READ.
Example:
DEFAULT_PRIVILEGES = READ ;
PERFORM_OS_AUTHENTICATION
Specifies whether the Siebel Analytics Server uses Windows NT operating system authentication to authenticate the Siebel Analytics Server users. Valid values are YES and NO.
Example:
PERFORM_OS_AUTHENTICATION = YES ;
AUTHENTICATION_TYPE
Specifies the type of authentication the Siebel Analytics Server uses to authenticate the Siebel Analytics Server users. Valid values are NQS, DATABASE, and BYPASS_NQS. The default authentication mechanism is NQS.
- If you select NQS, then the authentication is done by the Siebel Analytics Server. Note, however, that for Siebel Analytics applications, the Siebel Analytics Server in turn can be set up to authenticate using Microsoft ADSI, an LDAP server, or a database.
- If you select DATABASE, specify the database name in the Physical Layer of the repository to be used for database authentication. The first connection pool for this database is used for authentication. When the user logs into the Siebel Analytics Server, the submitted logon name and password is used to connect to the database. If this connection succeeds, the user is considered to be successfully authenticated.
- If you select BYPASS_NQS, users are authenticated against the database to which their queries are sent, using the submitted username and password. For example, if a user runs a query tool against the Siebel Analytics Server with the username of "Test" and a password of "Test," this username and password are used to connect to the underlying database server. If this represents a valid user to the underlying database server, the user is considered authenticated. The user's privileges are enforced by the underlying database server based upon the username used to log in, as appropriate.
Example 1:
AUTHENTICATION_TYPE = NQS ;
Example 2:
DATABASE = "Goldmine" ;
PROJECT_INACCESSIBLE_COLUMN_AS_NULL
The flag PROJECT_INACCESSIBLE_COLUMN_AS_NULL must be set to TRUE to enable the SQL command CHOOSE.
The SQL command
CHOOSE(expr1, expr2, .... exprn)
selects the first valid expression from a list of expressions. A valid expression here is an expression in which all referenced columns are accessible by the current query user.
