OBIEE 10g "Unable to Log In" using LDAP user

Question

Hi,

I have an OBIEE 10g environment and deployed presentation to WebLogic server

I set up MSAD in RPD via admin tool (online) by following steps in link:

Srinivasan Software Solutions : [OBIEE 10g] Security -- LDAP Authentication

Steps:

- Create LDAP Server: MSAD port 3268 -> test connection: OK

- Create Init Block: Auth_MSAD, variable: USER, sAMAccountName -> test login: OK

- Check 'Required for authentication'

- Import User and add to Administrator group

- Save and check global consistency

After restarting all services, i tried to log in to analytics using MSAD user ID but failed:

Unable to Log In

An invalid User Name or Password was entered

However I'm able to login using Administrator. Any one have some idea?

Appreciate the help as always

Many Thanks

If it is about the $$$ then it is the wrongest conceivable choice.

Like not repairing your roof for 50'000 and then it comes crashing down and it costs 1'000'000 to rebuild.

But very, very typical mangement thinking.

Hi Christian,

Appreciate your suggestion to upgrade

I'm fully aware 10g is a very old software and is way to far from its end of life, but there is, lamentably, nothing I can do if my client insisted not to

Btw, I found out the root cause: I should not import the user in RPD

Hopefully can help anyone who have the same fate,  ̶e̶̶̶v̶̶̶e̶̶̶n̶̶̶ ̶̶̶t̶̶̶h̶̶̶o̶̶̶u̶̶̶g̶̶̶h̶̶̶ ̶̶̶I̶̶̶'̶̶̶m̶̶̶ ̶̶̶t̶̶̶h̶̶̶e̶̶̶ ̶̶̶o̶̶̶n̶̶̶l̶̶̶y̶̶̶ ̶̶̶o̶̶̶n̶̶̶e̶̶̶ ̶̶̶l̶̶̶e̶̶̶f̶̶̶t̶̶̶
