Configuring Oracle BI Server for Communication Over SSL

The process of configuring Oracle BI Server to communicate over SSL consists of modifying parameters in the NQSConfig.INI file. This file is located in OracleBI_HOME\server\Config. On Linux or UNIX, this file is located in the OracleBI_HOME/server/Config directory. Perform this configuration on all machines where Oracle BI Server has been deployed, or copy the modified NQSConfig.INI to other Oracle BI servers, editing any machine-specific information such as file paths.

This topic consists of the following sub-topics:

• Configuring Oracle BI Server in Minimum Security Scenario. Use this procedure if you are deploying Oracle BI with minimum security.
• Configuring Oracle BI Server in Near-Maximum Security Scenario.Use this procedure if you are deploying Oracle BI with near maximum security.

NOTE:  If your BI Server uses ODBC to connect to the database, then data including passwords may be sent in plain text over TCP/IP. To secure this communication, refer to manufacturer documentation for the ODBC driver.
