High-Level Steps for Configuring an Alternative Authentication Provider

Use these steps as a general guide for configuring an alternative authentication provider.

See Setting Up Groups and Users in the Alternative Authentication Provider, Configuring Oracle Business Intelligence to Use Alternative Authentication Providers, and see Adding or Removing Members from an Application Role.

1. Ensure your external Identity Store has all the users and groups setup for use with Oracle Business Intelligence.
2. Configure the necessary authentication provider(s).
3. Go to the myrealm\Users and Groups tab to verify that the users and groups from the alternative authentication provider are displayed correctly. If the users and groups are displayed correctly, then proceed to the next step. Otherwise, reset your configuration settings and retry.
4. Assign application roles to corresponding groups (enterprise roles) of the new identity store, using Fusion Middleware Control.
