Oracle business intelligence enterprise edition 11g By Sarat: Fusion Middleware Control to Enable SSO Authentication

Using Fusion Middleware Control to Enable SSO Authentication

After Oracle Business Intelligence has been configured to use the SSO solution configured for use by Oracle Fusion Middleware, you enabled SSO authentication for Oracle Business Intelligence in Fusion Middleware Control from the Security tab.

To enable Oracle Business Intelligence to use SSO authentication:

Go to the Business Intelligence Overview page.
For information, see "Logging In to Fusion Middleware Control" in Oracle Fusion Middleware System Administrator's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.

Go to the Security page.
Click the Help button on the page to access the page-level help for its elements.

Click Lock and Edit Configuration.

Check Enable SSO.
The SSO provider list becomes active.

Select the configured SSO provider from the list.

Click Apply, then Activate Changes.

Manually edit each instanceconfig.xml file for every Oracle BI Presentation Services process to configure the login and logout information. Inside the <Authentication> section, add the following:
<SchemaExtensions>
<Schema name="SSO" logonURL="{your SSO logon URL}" logoffURL="{your logoff URL}/>
</SchemaExtensions>

Note:
For the logout page, you must use the URL specified by the SSO provider for this purpose. Do not use a URL within the domain and port protected by the SSO provider, because the system does not log users out.
