Additional Configuration When SSO is Enabled for Oracle BI and BI Publisher

If you are using the Oracle BI Reporting and Publishing feature and have deployed BI Publisher, then you must enable SSO for BI Publisher. Otherwise, users who access BI Publisher directly or by using the More Products > BI Publisher link in BI Presentation Services need to log on. To enable Oracle SSO with BI Publisher, refer to the topic on setting up Oracle Single Sign On in the Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher User's Guide for Release 10.1.3.2.

The following additional configuration must be done for BI Presentation Services and Publisher to communicate when SSO is enabled for both Oracle BI and BI Publisher.

To enable SSO for Oracle BI and BI Publisher

1. On the same machine where BI Presentation Services Plug-in has been deployed, deploy another Presentation Services Plug-in using the file analytics.ear.

   Locate analytics.ear in the directory OracleBI_HOME/web/.

2. Name the new Plug-in analyticsSOAP.

   Make the same modifications to the web.XML file for this analyticsSOAP servlet that were made to the web.XML file for the default "analytics" servlet.

3. Make the following modification to the file mod_osso.conf to statically protect analyticsSOAP.

   mod_osso.conf is located in the directory Oracle_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf.

   <Location /analyticsSOAP>
      require valid-user
      AuthType Basic
      Allow from All
      Satisfy any
   </Location>

4. In the Admin tab of the BI Publisher application, select Integration - Oracle BI Presentation Services.

   In the URL Suffix field, enter the following suffix:

   analyticsSOAP/saw.dll

   Ensure that all other fields on this page have been appropriately set as documented in the chapter on configuring BI Publisher in the Oracle Business Intelligence Infrastructure Installation and Configuration Guide.

   NOTE:  In the Admin Username and Admin Password fields, the username and password for the Oracle BI administrator must be specified.
