Configuring Oracle BI Server in Minimum Security Scenario

Use the following procedure to configure Oracle BI Server in a minimum security scenario.

To configure Oracle BI Server in minimum security scenario

1. On the machine where the Oracle BI Server has been installed, modify the NQSConfig.INI file as described below. This file is located in OracleBI_HOME\server\Config. On UNIX, this file is located in the OracleBI_HOME/server/Config directory.
2. Open the NQSConfig.INI file for editing.
3. Locate the following lines:

   #SSL=NO;
   #SSL_CERTIFICATE_FILE="servercert.pem";
   #SSL_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE="serverkey.pem";
   #SSL_PK_PASSPHRASE_FILE="serverpwd.txt";

4. Uncomment the above lines and set the parameters as follows:

   SSL=YES;
   SSL_CERTIFICATE_FILE="<Server Certificate Filename>";
   SSL_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE="<Server Private Key Filename>";
   SSL_PK_PASSPHRASE_FILE="<passphrase file>";

   After modification, the NQSConfig.INI file should be similar to the following example:

   SSL=YES;
   SSL_CERTIFICATE_FILE="server-cert.pem";
   SSL_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE="server-key.pem";
   SSL_PK_PASSPHRASE_FILE="serverpwd.txt";

5. Copy the server certificate, server private key, and passphrase file. For example, server-cert.pem, server-key.pem and serverpwd.txt files to OracleBI_HOME\server\Config on Windows and to OracleBI_HOME/server/Config Linux or UNIX.
