SAP BI Mobile Server Single Sign On Support
Prerequisites
- Siteminder should already be setup in customer environment
First step
is to enable the Authentication Scheme
- Copy the authscheme.properties from default folder in to custom folder (<WebAppsROOT>\webapps\MobileBIService\WEB-INF\config)
- Then modify the authscheme.properties file in custom folder
- Un-comment line 'SITEMINDER=com.businessobjects.mobilebi.server.logon.impl.Siteminder'
- Save and close the file
Second Step
is to define the default SSO configuration
- Copy the sso.properties from default folder in to custom folder (<WebAppsROOT>\webapps\MobileBIService\WEB-INF\config)
- Then modify the sso.properties file in custom folder
- Choose your default CMS identifier "default.cms.identifier=abc"
- Now define your authentication scheme (the one that you have enabled in first step)
- abc.authentication.scheme=SITEMINDER
- CMS can be provided as an Alias, IP or cluster name
- Alias
- abc.aliases=boe.xyz.corp:6400
- IP
- abc.aliases=10.10.10.10:6400
- Cluster name
- Now configure all the properties using this identifier as below
- abc.authentication.type=secLDAP
- abc.cookie.name=SMSESSION
- abc.product.locale=en_GB
- abc.preferred.viewing.locale=en_GB
- Save the sso.properties file.
Third Step
is to now deploy the MobileBIService again after changes mentioned above. Once done, you can validate if your SSO has been setup correctly by executing following URL from browser
http://<server>:<port>/MobileBIService/MessageHandlerServlet?message=CredentialsMessage&requestSrc=ipad&data=<logon logonViaSSO="true"/>
Note: While executing the URL in browser, you should be sending a valid SMSESSION cookie with it.
