SSO in Clustered Environment using Trusted Authentication

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have setup a clustered BOE 3.1. Our setup is clustered CMS's and remaining servers clustered on 2 separate machines. A cluster of 2 Weblogic managed servers as the web tier. We are using Novel Access Manger to load the balance between to Weblogic managed servers.

Now how to setup Single Sign-on in this environment. Can we simply do the trusted authentication. For this do we just have to enable the trusted authentication and give the shared secret in CMS1. And change the web.xml at <DeployedLocation>\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\warfiles\WebApps\InfoViewApp\WEB-INF at CMS1.

Please advice.

Thanks,

Rakesh

Trusted auth will not work without a shared secret. You specify it once in the CMC > authentication, Enterprise and on each web/app in a TrustedPrincipal.conf file. This is only half the battle as you have to select the method you are supplying the username and then provide the username via 3rd party (these steps are not documented except for remote_user and query_string)
