About Alternative Security Options

This chapter describes security concepts and options for a standalone implementation of Publisher that's not installed as part of the Oracle Analytics Server.

Note the following:

• If you installed the Oracle Analytics Server, then see the security guide for information about security.

• If you installed Publisher on its own and you plan to use Oracle Fusion Middleware Security, then see Understand the Security Model. The following topics will be of interest in this chapter:

  • About Catalog Permissions

  • About Access to Data Sources

• To configure Publisher with these other Oracle security models:

  • Oracle BI Server security

  • Oracle E-Business Suite security

  • Oracle Database security

  • Siebel CRM security

  See Integrate with Other Oracle Security Models.

Use the information in this chapter to configure the following:

• Publisher Security

• Integration with an LDAP provider

  Note:

  Any identity store provider supported by Oracle WebLogic Server can be configured to be used with Publisher. Configuring Publisher to use an alternative external identity store is performed using the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console. See Customize the Default Security Configuration.
