Using appintegrator with BW reports - Mapping problem

22 Views

Hi All,

I've been using appintegrator with BW reports for a while.

The portal was connected to BW by ticket and it worked without a problem.

Since a new group of users was added to the portal and the UserID of those users in the portal & BW is not the same I want to change the logon method to user mapping.

Now, I have a problem:

when I try to run bex report I get a popup asking me for username/password (although the user mapping is configured correctly - transactions are running without a problem).

Even if I click the 'cancel' button the report will run so I guess the user/password is passed to the bw.

I use FQDN in the system definition in the portal and in the browser (both systems are on the same domain).

I read note no. 593640, according to the note configuring the /sap/bw/mime service to anonymous login should solve the problem.

Doesn't configuring the service this way will cause security issues? or is it just for eliminating the popup?

Portal is EP6 SP16.

Thanks,

Omri
