Configure SSO for OBIEE 12 (bug 22568366?)

Tron 2.0

We are trying to configure SSO for OBIEE 12.

SSO will use OpenAm through the SAML 2 protocol.

We seem to be hitting bug 22568366 described in Doc ID 2098233.1 and  Doc ID 2098894.1.

The suggested workaround described in the doc IDs doesn’t work for us (maybe that workaround is Access Manager (OAM) only?).

The bug itself seems to be hidden, I get no access to it on Metalink.

Our problem is that step 5 (select the SSO Provider from the list) in the description below never happens (and this I beleive is bug 22568366).

  Description:

  From the Oracle® Fusion Middleware Security Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition -> 4.4.2 Configuring Oracle Access Manager as a New Identity Asserter for Oracle WebLogic Server

  1. Log in to Fusion Middleware Control.

  2. Go to the Security page and display the Single Sign On tab.

  3. Click Lock and Edit.

  4. Select Enable SSO.

  When selected, this checkbox enables SSO to be the method of authentication into Oracle Business Intelligence. The appropriate form of SSO is determined by the configuration settings made for the chosen SSO provider.

  5. Select the configured SSO provider from the list.

  The SSO Provider list becomes active when you select the Enable SSO checkbox.

  If you select 'Custom' from the SSO Provider list, then the system will not overwrite the changes you make to the <Authentication> section of the instanceconfig.xml file. Instead, you can manually edit this section of the instanceconfig.xml file.

Does anyone else have experience with this problem. We have created a SR, but would like to know if anyone have experienced anything similiar? Could there be some other step we are missing?
