Business Objects default authentication change from "Enterprise" to AD

[Former Member]

Hello,

This is my first post and question. I was told this was how to get support for Crystal Reports Business Objects version 11.5.

I've been asked to change the default authentication on the intranet web page from "Enterprise" to "Windows AD". Can someone advise on how to complete this task? I've looked through the administrator page and perused the registry.

Thank you,

Ben

if it's IIS/.net deployment the boeinstall\boe11.5\web content\businessobjects\enterprise115\infoview\web.config

if tomcat/java the boeinstall\tomcat\webapps\businessobjects\enterprise115\desktoplaunch\web-inf\web.xml

Tim and Alan, I could not have found this had you not helped me with that information. This now works like it should. Thank you!

Hi Ben,

This needs to be changed in the Web.xml file. In this file you are looking for authentication.default, which should be set to secWinAD. By default it is secEnterprise. I have XI 3.0 installed so I can't give you the exact location of the file, but it is under Tomcat/webapps and the next folder should be infoview and the final folder is WEB-INF. You will need to restart tomcat once you have made the change.

Alan
