COOKIE InfoViewPLATFORMSVC_COOKIE_USR value in BO BI 4.2 SP3

[Former Member]

Hi guys, I installed BO BI4.2 SP3 and configure the SSO, everything works very well.

But when I try to retrieve the "InfoViewPLATFORMSVC_COOKIE_USR" cookie via another application called via a hyperlink under InfoView to retrieve the logged user under infoview I have a blank.

Example the url in the hyperlink: http://otherserver: port /script.php?userbo = (current user on infoview)

Can you help me guys get this user at this URL

I thank you in advance

I have fixed your tag, please select more careful next time.
Also, it would help if you specify why you're trying to pull that info from the cookie....

1. You can't retrieve a cookie from server A on server B. So if you have a link from BI launchpad to otherserver/script.php, that script is not going to be able to access a cookie from the BO server.

2. Even if you could. the InfoViewPLATFORMSVC_COOKIE_USR cookie has been encrypted since BI4.1

3. Even if you were able to decrypt it, it will only contain the value (if any) that was entered on the logon page. The cookie is not populated when SSO is used.
