Restricting data seen by user in Webi report

[Former Member]

Hi all

I have a web app that authenticates against LDAP.

Now within this app, I also use the OpenDocument URL based mechanism to display BO WEBI reports within my webapp.

Right now, whenever i need to display a report I get a logon token from BO and append to the URL - all this works fine (regardless of the user that has logged in

I use the same username/password to get the logon token from BO).

However what I need is for BO to generate that report based on the actual user that has logged in so that the user sees only data that is relevant to that person.

I also don't want that user to re-authenticate when the BO report is displayed.

My webapp and BO runs on different systems. Any ideas on how I can go about doing this?

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance for the help.

Since you are already authenticating your user using LDAP, you may want to look at the trusted authentication functionality in the SDK so that you can logon to BO using that username.
