BOE XI Release 2 - Secured Connection

[Former Member]

Hi,

In the Designer (BO XI release 2), when I try to create a connection for my universe using Oracle 10 for Database Middleware then on Login Parameters screen, I only have Personal or Shared Not the Secured type. How do I get the the Secured type?

Thanks

Hi all,

You are right about authentication. I was instructed to use Window AD for authentication. I will have a talk with the admin today. I'll keep you up to date. Thanks for the advise.

Hi,

You need to log on BOE to have access to secured connections. Only shared and personal connections are available in standalone mode.

Hi,

How do I know that I log on BOE or in standalone mode. When I start the Designer, the User Identification window pop up then I entered the System name and Authentication but no user name or password.

Thanks

Hi,

In the Designer login dialog box you have to choose Enterprise in the authentication combo box. You have multiple choices in this combo box.

Then, to be authentified on the CMS, you need at least to provide a username (the password is optional depending on the user definition in the CMS).

Hi,

When you are logging in designer, wthat type of authentication you are using. i.e. In order to get Secured connection option you have to login with Credentials and authentication type should be Enterprise. As per my knowledge when authentication type other than Enterprise ( Windows AD, Windows NT, LDAP) you won't get Shared Connection option.

Suresh,

When you said "when authentication type other than Enterprise ( Windows AD, Windows NT, LDAP) you won't get Shared Connection option.", you meant Secured Connection not Shared?
