Our subsidiary users must connect to
BPC via a reverse proxy with 2Factor Authentication.
They get through to our SAP Portal and
select the BPC application - with no issue. However, when they select the EPM Add-in
it fails because the cookies cannot be found.
The EPM Add-in
has two ways to retrieve the cookies:
- The
authentication page is opened and is on the same domain than the BPC Web
Portal
- In this case,
the EPM Add-in parses all the opened pages and will retrieve the cookies
(this is dotnet framework included function)
However, with Citrix NetScaler, I have been informed that
it is not possible to have the authentication on the same domain as the
application.
The way authentication works on NetScaler is to have its
own page and domain.
- As a
fallback, if this first step did not succeeded, the EPM Add-in uses the
InternetGetCookieEx API to retrieve them from the BPC Web Portal
However, the Internet Explorer API cannot retrieve the cookies
because the reverse proxy cookies are not stored on the same URL as the BPC Web
Portal.
If anyone using BPC with reverse proxy
and 2FA? Does the EPM Add In work for
you?
