Bi Launchpad - automatic login

[Former Member]

Hello,

i want to share a few reports in the BI Launchpad for some customers. Is it possible to have an automatic login in the BI Launchpad?

Users should just go to the URL and then automaticly can choose from the reports without a login.

Kind Regards

Tobias

Yes , its possible using singe sign on for example , if you have AD user you can setup up single sign on using windows AD so that whenever a user logs from his personal computer the person gets logged in automatically.

You should should search for Single sign onn in BI on the internet to explore more , based on the authethication method used by you

Thanks Ritesh for this. And what about a deactivated login? So there should be no login for the bi launchpad. Is this possible?

Hi,

With deactivated, login not possible.e.g if user Windows AD account is deactivated then user itself can not login on the machine.

If a user account is de-activated it won t be able to login,

Hi Tobias,

If there are few reports, simplest method to achieve this would:

Create a simple web page listing down all the report.

Link report names to Opendoc links.

You can refer the following guide to create opendoc links for reports.

Diving deep into Opendoc, you can use Logon tokens and create opendoc links that could log you in whenever they are browsed. Refer to session manage Session management topic from Opendoc guide.

If you are ready to go for a complex  (and probably better) method, you can start with BI SDK and create your own application to access reports.

Hope this helps.
