Hyperion shared services authentication in OBIEE/ Caching of passwords

Set the Custom Authenticator Cache Persistence time to 1 sec so that it will always expire. Restarted the BI and Presentation services and it works.

Until Next Post... :)

  2. Hi Sandy,

    You have to contact your network team to get all that information that goes into the configuration on OBIEE end.

  3. Thanks for your prompt reply. However I just figured out that, to make obiee use shared services for authentication we need to use custom authenticator and also change some config files.
    We have installed shared services and we want obiee to use users from shared services for authentication. Shared services is internally getting users form MSAD. I tried to follow the 8 steps mentioned in the oracle docs, but I was not succesfull. Here is what I did
    1) Registered EPM (In answers I went to Managae EPM workspace and registered shared services)
    2)Modified instance config.xml and config.xml
    3)Used custom authenticator for authentication init block, (gave path for the driver on the server in the browse option when creaing a custom authenticator.)

    We need not implemet SSO between EPM and OBIEE. I just want to authenticate obiee users using shared services, Could you tell me what I am missing here
