Trusted Authentication Setup in BO using TomCat

system · April 26, 2012, 5:13am

have configured Trusted Authentication in BO using Tomcat as App Server.
I modified the Enterprise Area of CMC and enabled trsuted authentication and created shared secret.
On the Client side, I modified the InfoView web.xml and inserted SSO Filter in it and also placed sso jar file in lib directory.
When I browse InfoView , it redirects me to SSO Server which is correct. But when I enter credentials in SSO Server login page which have been entered in Active Directory, instead of pushing me directly inside InfoView, it directs me to InfoView login page with the Error: Account Information Not Recognized: The user account has been disabled. (FWB 00012) .

This is high priority for me. Please help

Can you please check if the “GUEST” Business objects account has been disabled?

Hi, I think your SSO server is not returning the correct user name to BO server. Based on the error message, its trying to login with guest account guest account is disabled by default and not required any user name.

There is a trusted authentication test page (trustedauthendication.jsp) available in the forum/SDN. You can use that JSP file check what SSO returns.

Hope this helps!

I would love to get my hands on this JSP, but I can’t find it by searching SDN. Anyone have a link or a copy they can attach?

Thanks for the link. Does anyone know where to put this file to make it work in 4.0? Also, has it been updated for 4.0?

Hi,

I have not yet tested it with 4.0 and also working on the same, but I beleive it need to be put in

\Tomcat6\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoView\web

I am not sure if this will work in 4.0 or not, since I have not tested yet and I have to test it within few days. I would request if you test please post your result on this forum.

Thanks -
AMI
