Hi, in OBIEE 11g, setting up SSO to use httpHeader variables was pretty easy. However, having a ton of issues trying to figure this out in 12c. In 11g, we just edited the Siteminder entries in the authenticationschemas.xml to include the variable name and to use type httpHeader, and then would select siteminder SSO from the SSO page in enterprise manager.

In 12c however, there is no "siteminder sso" option in EM - the only option is to enable SSO with no specific type specified. I've monkeyed with the authenticationschemas.xml til I'm blue in the face with no luck, and the last update from oracle on the SR is "hmmm, seems like we don't have any documentation on how to do this" (yes, I've followed the links and researched the KBs indicated in the "Custom SSO" section...they do NOT tell how to set this up properly).

Has anyone been successful getting this to work?

Thanks,

Scott
