How to display the login Name other than User ID in obiee?

AbinashBehera

Hi All,

I want to show the user's Name in Signed In As in OBIEE analysis page. Currently its showing both User ID and Display Name as same.

In the above diagram, I want to show the Display Name as the Name of the user(e.g. Display Name: Abinash), not the User ID.

Thanks,

Abinash

You can set it with an RPD initblock (use a query to look it up via the UserID) ... it is a reserved system session variable DISPLAYNAME

Hello Abinash,

You dont specify, what kind of authenticator you use in your authetication mechanism.

1. If you have an AD, you could do query check this website to do the query, and use the session variables in your initialization block that thomas give you as a reference.

2. If you use the default authenticator providor of your Weblogic,

go to Administration Console of your Weblogic -> My realm -> go to your user -> Attributes -> write your value of your DISPLAY NAME attribute (press enter button)

Thanks Cesar and Thomas,

Its working out for me!! In obiee I created the Init Block and targeted it to system session variable DISPLAYNAME.

I have BI publisher also integrated with OBIEE, but in BIP its not reflecting the name. How to achieve in BIP?

Hello Abinash,

Cesar,

We already have integrated BI publisher with OBIEE. Not sure for exact this issue what else needs to be done
