Setting the Case of Logon Names for the SA System Subject Areal

When the SA System subject area is used, logon names are compared to the Logon column in the SA System subject area. By default, this comparison is case sensitive. This means, for example, that a login of "Fred" will not match an SA System subject area entry of "fred." If your authentication method is case sensitive, this works fine because the login "fred," accepted at login, matches "fred" in the Logon column in the SA System subject area. However, if your authentication method is case insensitive, then you need the SA System subject area comparison also to be case insensitive.

You can make the SA System subject area comparison case insensitive by:

• Ensuring that your SA System subject area stores all logon names in uppercase
• Setting the UpperCaseRecipientNames element to true so that logon names are converted to uppercase before being included in SA System subject area queries

To set the UpperCaseRecipientNames element to true, you edit the Oracle BI Presentation Services configuration file (instanceconfig.xml) to add the UpperCaseRecipientNames element between the <Alerts> and </Alerts> elements (which appear after the <ServerInstance> element) and set it to true.

The following entry is an example:

<ServerInstance>

.. .. ..

<Alerts>
.. .. ..
   <UpperCaseRecipientNames>true</UpperCaseRecipientNames>
.. .. ..
</Alerts>

.. .. ..

</ServerInstance>
