Hi all,

In BOE XI is there any way of setting default values in the Infoview log-on page? We're going to be using Windows AD authentication and I'd really rather not have the users having to enter/select 4 log-on parameters every time they want to look at a report (System, Username, Password, Authentication). 'System' is the worst one since, in keeping with most IT departments, the name of our Enterprise server is gibberish to the average user, so hard for them to remember.

So, is there any way to set the System & Authentication parameters to defaults?

Thanks for any comments.

This is no Problem.

If you use .NET look for the file web.config in folder
"Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Web Content\Enterprise115\InfoView".

If you use JAVA look for a file names web.xml in folder
"Tomcat\webapps\businessobjects\enterprise115\desktoplaunch\WEB-INF"(After editing this file restart tomcat or webapp).

There you can edit such default settings
 
Hey gavin

By enabling Single Sign On - your users will not have to type in anything - it will seamlessly log a user on based on his/her WinAD logon - also referred to as SSO! You must turn this on under Authentication in the CMC.....

I hope this helps you.

Cheers

Thanks Paul, bleuys,

- We can't use SSO unfortunately because our QA dept don't like it. They say that anyone could come along to a PC when the user was away and log on using their credentials, which I guess makes sense.
bleuys, thanks for that - I'm at home now but will check it out at work tomorrow.
