Hi,

I configured an LDAP to my BOE 3.1 Server and now I want to add SSO.

When choosing to do so, I am asked "Please configure your SiteMinder settings" with the following properties:

u2022 Policy Server Host

u2022 Accounting Port

u2022 Authentication Port

u2022 Authorization port

u2022 Agent Name

u2022 Shared Secret

I have no idea where to take this data from.

Please assist.

Thanks,

DS

Hi,

I have an application in .NET that uses Web Services SDK, and I would like to use Trusted Authentication.

Is it possible? If It is, what are the steps to configure BO and the code in .NET?

Thanks,

Sandra

What method of authentication are you using? And how do you plan to pass the username to BO?

We have just configured our BO server to use Trusted Authentication (REMOTE_USER) and It works!. We can access to InfoView directly.

We are trying that our .NET application (that uses Web Services SDK) connects to BO without passing user and password.

Before the configuration, we were using this code:

BusinessObjects.DSWS.Connection oConnection = new BusinessObjects.DSWS.Connection(m_strURL);

BusinessObjects.DSWS.Session m_wiSession = new Session(oConnection);

BusinessObjects.DSWS.Session.EnterpriseCredential oEC = new EnterpriseCredential();

oEC.Login = strLogin;

oEC.Password = strPassword;

oEC.AuthType = "secLDAP";

SessionInfo oSI = m_wiSession.Login(oEC);

In this case, we need the user and password to authenticate. Now that Trusted Authentication is configured, we don't know what code use to authenticate without a password.

I would appreciate your reply.

Thanks,

Sandra

REMOTE_USER depends on IIS integrated authentication, the authenticator that I keep asking you for. If you have this enabled on your .net application trusted auth should pick it up.

But What code should I use? (with Web Services SDK)

You are in the BO administration forum, if you have SDK questions you should query the appropriate SDK forum. for a link see the sticky post at the top of this forum.
