10-6 Oracle Fusion Middleware Integrators Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition If you select this option, the wizard will attempt to connect to the server to obtain default values for the configuration settings on the next screen. If you do not select this option, then you can still configure the DSN by manually entering the information in the next screen. If you select this option, you must provide values for Login ID and Password. 17. Click Next. The third page of the Oracle BI DSN Configuration wizard is displayed.

18. To change the name of the default subject area, select Change the default subject

area to and then enter the name of the subject area. If you selected the Connect option in the previous screen, you can choose a name from the list. Do not select this option for the DSN used by Oracle BI Presentation Services. If you do not select this option, the default subject area is the one defined in the internal call query metadata. You can use the DATABASE SQL function to determine the default subject area; see Oracle Fusion Middleware Metadata Repository Builders Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition for more information.

19. To change the default error message language, select Change the default error

message language to and then select the language you want to use for error messages. See Oracle Fusion Middleware System Administrators Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition for more information about choosing the error message language.

20. If needed, select Use Regional Settings when outputting dates and times. When

this option is enabled, data in Date, Time, or DateTime format is displayed using Windows regional settings, rather than the default format for the Oracle BI Server. To see the Windows regional settings, open the Control Panel and double-click Regional and Language Options. 21. If the repository has been set up for database-specific login IDs and passwords, you can enter the user names and passwords for the underlying databases. The database-specific credentials allow privileged users to connect to the underlying databases at the level of authority granted to those users in the databases. To enter user names and passwords for the underlying databases, follow these steps: a. Select the database for which you want to enter a user name and password and click Edit. b. Enter the login ID and password corresponding to the database you selected and click OK. c. Repeat these steps for other databases if necessary.

22. Click Finish to save the DSN configuration.

10.3.1 Configuring the ODBC DSN for Advanced SSL Settings

Follow the steps in this section to configure additional advanced settings for SSL. Note: Do not change the SSL parameters of the centrally managed default DSN for Presentation Services. To configure the Oracle BI Server DSN for advanced SSL settings: 1. On the first page of the Oracle BI DSN Configuration wizard, after selecting Use SSL , click the Configure SSL button. The Secure Socket Layer Configuration dialog appears. Integrating Other Clients with Oracle Business Intelligence 10-7

2. For Certificate File, enter the path and file name of the Client Certificate file, or

click Select to browse for the file. For example: ORACLE_HOME \ssl\client-cert.pem

3. For Certificate Private Key File, enter the path and file name of the Client Private

Key file, or click Select to browse for the file. For example: ORACLE_HOME \ssl\client-key.pem

4. For File Containing Passphrase, enter the path and file name of the passphrase

file for the Client Key, or click Select to browse for the file. For example: ORACLE_HOME \ssl\clientpwd.txt

5. Select Verify Peer.

6. If you are using the hashed version of the CA certificate, enter the directory where the hashed file is located in the CA Certificate Directory field. For example: ORACLE_HOME \ssl 7. If you are using the CA certificate, provide the path and file name of the CA Certificate file in the CA Certificate File field. For example: ORACLE_HOME \ssl\cacert.pem

8. For Cipher List, enter the list of ciphers to be used. For example:

EXP-DES-56-SHA

9. For Certificate Verification Depth, specify 1.

10. For Trusted Peer Distinguished Names, enter DNs of servers that will allowed to

connect. For example: C=USST=CAL=Redwood ShoresO=Oracle OU=BICN=servercertificate

11. Click OK.

12. Complete the additional steps to configure the DSN, starting from Step 11 of the procedure in the previous section. After you complete these steps, copy the client certificate, client private key, and passphrase files for example, client-cert.pem, client-key.pem, and clientpwd.txt to the directory specified in the parameters. If you have set the CA Certificate File parameter, you must also copy the CA certificate file for example cacert.pem to the directory specified. If you have set the CA Certificate Directory parameter, copy the hash version of the CA certificate to the directory specified.

10.4 Configuring an ODBC DSN for the Oracle BI Server on Linux or UNIX

This section explains how to create an ODBC DSN for the Oracle BI Server on Linux or UNIX to enable remote client access. On Linux and UNIX systems, the file odbc.ini contains the standard or clustered Oracle BI ODBC connection details that are used by Oracle BI Presentation Services and nqcmd processes. Do not change the DSN logical name, the Primary and Secondary Cluster Controller and Port parameters, or the SSL parameters for the centrally managed default DSN. To create an ODBC DSN for the Oracle BI Server on Linux or UNIX:
