OAS Mobile Application Usage

Hello everybody,

I am looking for a clear document that guides me to use mobile 'Oracle Analytics' application in IOS and android in for my company. When I look at the youtube or google, I really could not find any specific helpful guides. Firstly, is it possible to use mobile app for OAS Version 2024. If it is, can you guide me please?

Thanks for your help and interest.

Regards,

Dilek

@dilek ,

Based on the document linked above, you can read that there are number of requirements for OAS, mostly it always point to a form of SSO.

Last time I tried (a quick test just to know what to answer to a customer's question) right after OAS 2024 has been released, I didn't need a SSO.

What was required was OAS to be accessible on port 443 via a SSL connection: that's the default port for HTTPS.
This because the mobile app didn't seem to accept a port number in the URL of OAS. I didn't have any SSO, I just setup a proxy to access OAS via HTTPS on port 443 (so not touching OAS at all, just the proxy configured with SSL and listening on port 443 and forwarding requests to HTTP-9502).

Most SSO configuration do use a form of proxy that expose OAS via HTTPS on port 443, that's why, just having a proxy doing that without any SSO, did work (that's my understanding at least).

But of course this can't replace your own test (the mobile app has maybe been changed to accept a port in the URL: not just entering it, but the app not discarding it and using it).

Hello again,

As you said @Gianni Ceresa, after opening port 443 I successfully connected the server through the application. However, when I enter username and password it gives an error pop up "Invalid Credentials".

This means, I need to configure SSO?

Thanks for your interest again.

Hi Dilek,

In my test, done end of May 2024 with OAS 2024, I didn't have any issue and I didn't have SSO. I tested with a clean install of OAS 2024 and just adding a proxy in front. I didn't configure the proxy for each service/path of OAS, it was just a full proxy for any request to <host>:443 ⇒ <OAS>:9502 .

I would look into networking first, if you are using a proxy, look if that one has some logs or errors when you use the app, maybe there are request that aren't handled correctly and not forwarded to OAS.

Basic Auth is not supported when connecting the mobile app to OAS. You have to follow these configuration steps https://blogs.oracle.com/analytics/post/oa-mob-app-for-oas-with-ag-sso Also noted in the doc link above.
