Use the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console

You use Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console to manage the WebLogic LDAP Server that enables you to authenticate users and groups.

Oracle WebLogic Server is automatically installed and serves as the default administration server. The Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console is browser-based and is used, among other things, to manage the embedded directory server.

When you configure Oracle Analytics Server, the initial security configuration uses the embedded WebLogic LDAP directory, the default authenticator, as the Identity Store. The Oracle Analytics Server installation adds specific BI users and groups into the LDAP directory. The installation does not add default BI groups into the LDAP directory. If your application expects LDAP groups such as the BIConsumers, BIContentAuthors, and BIServiceAdministrators to exist in the Identity Store, you need to add these groups manually or configure the domain to use a different Identity Store, where these groups are already provisioned after the initial configuration has finished.

You can launch the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console by entering its URL into a web browser. The default URL takes the following form: http://hostname:port_number/console. The port number is the same port number as used for the Administration server. The default port number is 9500. See Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help.

The user name and password were supplied during the installation of Oracle Analytics Server. If these values have since been changed, then use the current administrative user name and password combination.

If you use an alternative authentication provider such as Oracle Internet Directory instead of the default the WebLogic LDAP Server, then you must use the alternative authentication provider administration application, for example, an administration console to manage users and groups.

  1. Display the Oracle WebLogic Server login page by entering its URL into a web browser.

    For example, http://hostname:9500/console.

  2. Log in using the Oracle Analytics Server administrative user and password credentials.
