SSO to BOE XI 3.1 and SAP with Integration Kit

[system]

You have a couple of choices:

1. Create two entry points into infoview: one for SAP users and one for BOE users. One would use SAP auth, and the other SSO AD. Once they are into InfoView report authorization takes over, so if a SAP user has access to a relational report, they simply refresh. I’ve used this method when users come in via the SAP portel. I’ve also seen companies use the noSso infoview web page which is already set up. I created a post on this before…

Hi All, I would like to create a second infoview entry point for SAP users on the same physical box (single server) as regular InfoView. I know it will be temping to ask why, but it’s a very long story… I am trying to mock this up and have detailed the following steps below. I suspect I am missing a few steps (for example, where do I specify the entry port?). I am sure step 2 is wrong, as I the desktoplaunch no longer exists in Xi 3.1. I’m also wondering if I need to deploy all the war files…

2. I believe SNC will work as well. It’s been a few months since I’ve looked at this, I’ll check my notes. This will work in both scenarios. Tricky to set up but do-able.

Will your users be querying multiple BW systems or even ECC? Check to see that the passwords (and accounts!) are synchronized. If you have this problem, it will cause you some pain with SNC. You will need to look at two entry points instead.
