2 Managing Security Using a Default Security Configuration

This chapter explains how to deploy Oracle Business Intelligence security using the embedded WebLogic LDAP Server with the sample application.

Note:

For a detailed list of security setup steps, see Detailed List of Steps for Setting Up Security in Oracle Business Intelligence.

By deploying the default embedded WebLogic LDAP Server with the sample application, you can use its default users, groups, and application roles. You can also develop your own users, groups, and application roles.

This chapter contains the following sections:

• Working with Users, Groups, and Application Roles

• An Example Security Setup of Users, Groups, and Application Roles

• Managing Users and Groups in the Embedded WebLogic LDAP Server

• Managing Application Roles and Application Policies Using Fusion Middleware Control

• Managing Metadata Repository Privileges Using the Oracle BI Administration Tool

• Managing Presentation Services Privileges Using Application Roles

• Managing Data Source Access Permissions Using BI Publisher

• Enabling High Availability of the Default Embedded Oracle WebLogic Server LDAP Identity Store

• Deleting a User

• Using the runcat Command Line Interface to Manage Security-Related Tasks in the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog

You can migrate users (with their encrypted passwords), groups, roles and policies from the embedded WebLogic LDAP server and into another one. For more information, see Exporting and Importing Information in the Embedded LDAP Server in Administering Security for Oracle WebLogic Server 12c (12.2.1).
