Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE)

Overview

This document provides detailed instructions for configuring SSO for OBIEE through OAM using IES. The described configuration assumes the following scenario:

• An end user connects to Oracle WebGate by a web browser which works as a connection proxy for OBIEE

• WebGate checks if the user is authenticated and if not then redirects the HTTP request to OAM

• OAM works as SAML 2.0 Service Provider and redirects the request to IES which works as SAML 2.0 Identity Provider

• IES authenticates the user by any available and configured for the user method and returns a SAML 2.0 response to OAM

• OAM maps the authenticated user to the Oracle Internet Directory user account by email

• OAM redirects the response to WebGate with authenticated token in cookie

• WebGate creates an OBIEE session and authorizes the user in OBIEE
