Configuring the Oracle Enterprise Repository System Settings to Allow Authenication Proxying
15.7 Configuring the Oracle Enterprise Repository System Settings to Allow Authenication Proxying
Oracle Enterprise Repository is capable of connecting to BI Publisher and generating a BI Publisher authtoken, which allows all Oracle Enterprise Repository users to access reports without the requirement of a separate BI Publisher usernamepassword pair. If Oracle Enterprise Repository does not proxy authentication, then each user of Oracle Enterprise Repository requires a second set of authentication credentials, one for Oracle Enterprise Repository and another for BI Publisher. Access to the Reports page in Oracle Enterprise Repository is controlled by Role Based Access Controls through the Reports Basic Access Setting on the Admin page. For organizations who choose to use Authentication Proxying for Oracle Enterprise Repository reports, there is a collection of System Settings that will need configuration. To do this configuration, follow the following steps: 1. Log into Oracle Enterprise Repository as a user with the System Administrator or the Admin role.2. In Oracle Enterprise Repository Administration page, click System Settings.
3. In the Search text box, enter report to filter the list of System Settings.4. In the Reports section, set the System Setting Report Server Endpoint URL
oracle.reports.server.endpoint.url property to the same value as the System Setting Report Server URL property. Then, replace the OERStandard_ Reports with servicesPublicReportService. If the Report Server URL is not properly configured, then the Reports page displayes the following message: The system setting for Report Server Endpoint URL has not been set. This setting enables automatic login to the reports server. Without this, users must manually login. Note: If Internet Explorer returns a different report than the one requested, then change the Temporary Internet Files to check for changes on Every Visit. 15-8 Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Guide for Oracle Enterprise Repository5.
