Configuring BI Presentation Services Plug-in (ISAPI) for Communication Over SSL

The process of configuring the BI Presentation Services ISAPI to communicate over SSL consists of adding SSL-related elements to the isapiconfig.xml file. This file is located in the OracleBIData_HOME\web\config directory.

The BI Presentation Services Plug-in accesses certificates and keys from the credential store defined for BI Presentation Services. Copy the BI Presentation Services credential store containing the certificate and private key that was created in topic Specifying Certificate and Key Paths in BI Presentation Services Credential Store, to all machines that host the BI Presentation Services Plug-in, for example, to OracleBIData_HOME\web\config.

NOTE:  Perform this configuration only if your web server is IIS.

To configure the BI Presentation Services Plug-in (ISAPI) for communication over SSL

1. Open the isapiconfig.xml file for editing. This file is located in OracleBIData_HOME\web\config directory.
2. Add the following SSL-related elements as shown in the following example:

   <ServerConnectInfo address="<BI Presentation Services Host" port="9710" ssl ="true" credentialAlias="sawclient" certificateVerificationDepth="1" sslVersion="SSLv23"/>
   <CredentialStore>

   <CredentialStorage type="file" path=OracleBIData_HOME\web\config\credentialstore.xml"/>
   </CredentialStore>

   In the preceding example, the credential store is the default xml file store called credentialstore.xml. This store contains the paths to the certificate and private key file stored on disk.

3. Copy the certificate, private key file and CA certificate or hash version of the file to the locations for these files as specified in the credential store.
4. Restart the World Wide Web Publishing Service.
