Configuring Oracle BI Job Manager


To successfully connect to BI Scheduler that has been enabled for SSL, BI Job Manager must also be configured to communicate over SSL.

BI Job Manager is a Java based component and the keys and certificates that it will use must be stored in a java keystore database. The jobmanager.keystore created in topic Creating the Java Keystore will be used.

Use this procedure to configure BI Job Manager to communicate with the BI Scheduler server over SSL.

To configure Oracle BI Job Manager

  1. Open Job Manager and go to File > Open Scheduler Connection.
  2. In the Secure Socket Layer section of the dialog box, check the SSL check box. If you are deploying in a minimum security scenario, you do not need to provide any additional values in this dialog box. Click OK to exit.
  3. If BI Scheduler has been set to "Require Client Certificate", then Key Store and Key Store Password must be set:

    Key Store = <Path and file name of the keystore containing Client Certificate and Private Key files>. For example, jobmanager.keystore.

    Key Store Password = <password of keystore>. For example, analytics.

  4. Check the Verify Server Certificate check box. When this is checked, the trust store file must be specified. This trust store contains the CA that will be used to verify the Scheduler server certificate.
  5. In the Trust Store text box, enter the path and file name of the keystore that contains the Certificate Authority file. In the example provided in this chapter, the CA certificate was stored in the same keystore that contains the certificate and private key, jobmanager.keystore.
  6. In the Trust Store Password text box, enter the password of the keystore entered in step 5. For example, analytics.
  7. Copy the keystore and trust store files to the locations specified in the parameters above.
