Configuring JavaHost to Enable the Hyperion Common Security System Authenticator

  To configure JavaHost for authentication:

1. On the computer on which Oracle BI Presentation Services is installed, open config.xml for editing from the following directory: OracleBI\web\javahost\config

2. Uncomment the <OBISAuthenticatorProxy> element.

3. Modify the values for the following elements:

   • cssURL: The URL of the Common Security System (CSS) configuration file.

   • useCSSURL:

     • Yes to use the cssURL parameter to load the CSS configuration file.

     • No to use the reg.properties file for the Oracle's Hyperion Shared Services Registry to read the CSS file from the registry.

   • logFolder: The directory that holds CSS log files.

   • Optional: ccsDebug: Yes to enable debugging information for Common Security System authentication.

   • Optional: processAdministrator: Yes to allow the Administrator user in Shared Services to be authenticated in Oracle BI. The recommended value is no.

   • Optional: ssoTokenPassword: A password to indicate that the user name that is passed to the custom authenticator is a token for Single Sign-on, as described in the previous procedure. If specified, this value must match the value that is specified as the value for the PWD parameter for the <ExternalLogon> element in instanceconfig.xml.
