Hi all,
I have a system on SAP BI BO 4 SP6. I want to restrict report viewing as per the following requirements. Please advise:
1) I want to restrict a user to view report during a specific time interval only, for. eg from 08 00 to 16 00. Is this possible? How can this be achieved? Or maybe can we restrict the user to login in the BI lauchpad during this period only.
2) I want to allow only specific IPs or MAC addresses to access the BI launchpad. Can this be achieved and how?
regards.
Hi Suraj,
To restrict users based on IP you would need to add allowed ips for Tomcat
In \tomcat7\conf\server.xml:
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost"> ... ... ... <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve" allow="10\.132\.77\.55|10\.132\.76\.120|10\.132\.77\.47"/> ... </Engine>
Read more tomcat documentation here

your second requirement can be done using of network functionality. Restrict the IP Address/ MAC Address from BO server , so that particaular IP through , they will not allow to open BI Launchpad.
your first requirement is actually not possible, but manually you can do this.
1) remove rights for that user meanwhile.
2) you can monitoring that particular user is login during the time from session (CMC) or in auditing database report.
For this automatic process is not possible.

Hi Suraj,
There isnt any 3rd party tool that can override rights in BO for certain time period.
You can alwasys create new SDKs that can help in removing the access temporarily from the application.
This has to be done using the SDK that can be uploaded to BO and scheduled as per your time restriction.
BTW, I am curious why would you need such a setting?

Suraj,
The 3rd party tool I am recommending using a network hardware load balancing type tool. You can have everyone go through a Cisco router type device and then control access to the BOBJ server by MAC address.
Keep in mind there is NO 3rd party tool to alter the BOBJ security by MAC / Time / IP. You need have everyone go through the Hardware / Software type solution. Basic you putting another layer between the users and BOBJ server that can be managed by MAC / Time / IP related access.

Suraj,
Currently you can NOT manage security restriction at time interval within the BI 4.x Platform.
You would need to use some sort of 3rd party tool to restrict access by time &/or MAC address.
