SAP BI 4.1 SP5 - how to configure SSO for OpenDocument (Windows, Tomcat)

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

Hope you can shed some light here.

We have a new deployment of SAP BI 4.1 SP5 with Tomcat on Windows Server 2012. We have configured SSO for BI Launchpad and it's working.

We have a need to modify behaviour of OpenDocument URL so that a user does not have to log into the platform when he/she selects OpenDocument URL from an EXPORTED or EMAILED document.

Usage Scenario:

-------

For example, on my client's BI 3.1 platform, a user gets an emailed report in Excel format with a hyperlink to a platform report. At the moment, when user clicks the link he gets prompted to log onto the platform (through Enterprize authentication). We want to avoid this behaviour.

-----

What we want in our new BI 4.1 platform, is a silent SSO via OpenDocument so that user gets to the URL-ed report in the platform without any prompt.

Is this possible in BI 4.1 ?

Would you be able to provide some pointers as to how to configure this in my environment ?

Are there any SAP notes on this process in BI 4.1 ?

Your input will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Davor Mitrasevic

Hi Davor,

Please refer 1732613 - How to configure Vintela SSO with OpenDocument in BI 4.0

Also make sure the opendocument URL matches with the servername:portno mentioned in CMC >>Application >> OpenDocument >> Processing Settings.

Hi,

You can pass session management parameters serses and token in open document hyperlink URL. It will use session variable and token to open linked document and wont be prompting user to enter credentials.
