SSO for Dashboard swf file in Sharepoint Site

other Xcelsius - Crystal Dashboard Design
#1

Hi All,

We want to run dashboards from Sharepoint Site. Installing IOMS option is ruled out since BO 4.1 support package not yet released for Sharepoint 2013.

We have exported the flash file to sharepoint site and while we click the flash it prompts for user logon screen.
Dashboards has multiple web services defined. We cannot upload the XLF file since its not a recognized format and so .swf files are uploaded.

Now the questions is “Is there a way to avoid the user logon window”? We are expecting it will take Sharepoint logon user information and send it to BO platform.

BI launch pad and Sharepoint is working on Windows AD Authentication. BO 4.1 with windows AD Authentication.

Thanks in Advance,
Arun

No way that I know of. I suppose the BO authentication is very particular about what it wants.

The only way I’ve found to avoid that window is to store the dashboard on Infoview. Could you instead put a link on Sharepoint to the dashboard on Infoview?

Do you have to use AD as your authentication mechanism? If the dashboard shows the same content for every user accessing it, then you could use a BOBJ user account with enterprise authentication.

What querying mechanism are you using to get your information, query builder, BIWS, Live Office or QaaWS?
