Modifying the instanceconfig.xml File for Proxy Functionality
This task is a step in Process of Authorizing Users to Act for Others. You can modify the Oracle BI Presentation Services configuration file (instanceconfig.xml) to specify the following information for proxy functionality: - The name of the custom message template in the Custom Messages folder that contains the SQL to:
- Get the list of target users that a proxy user can act as
- Verify whether the proxy user can act as the target user
- Get the list of proxy users that can act as the target user
The default name is LogonParamSQLTemplate.
For more information about the custom message template, see Creating a Custom Message Template for Proxy Functionality.
- The maximum number of target users to be listed in the User box in the Act As dialog box. If the number of target users for a proxy user exceeds this value, an edit box, where the proxy user can type the ID of a target user, is rendered rather than a drop-down list of target users.
The default is 200.
You specify the name of the custom message template and the maximum number of target users in the <TemplateMessageName> and <MaxValues> elements, which appear between the <LogonParam> and</LogonParam> elements. For example: <LogonParam>
<TemplateMessageName>LogonParamSQLTemplate</TemplateMessageName>
<MaxValues>100</MaxValues>
</LogonParam>
NOTE: The name that you specify in the <TemplateMessageName> element must match the name that you specify in the <WebMessage> element in the custom message file. For more information, see Creating a Custom Message Template for Proxy Functionality.
