Creating an OBIEE Remote Location and Connection for RPD Password Security

You must define a remote location and connection for each non-restart OBIEE service location in order to provide password protection for the deployed .rpd file in the Administration Tool.

When the Definer installs an OBIEE Business Area in Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub, the deploy script deploys the latest version of the .rpd file to the BI Server. During the deployment, Oracle LSH passes a user name and password to the deployment script if a remote location and connection are defined for the service location.

When the Definer works on the .rpd file in the Administration Tool, he or she must log in as administrator and enter the password you specify in the remote connection definition. You can change this password at any time.

If you do not define a remote location and connection for the service location, no password is required to work on the .rpd file in the Administration Tool.
