OAS 5.9 Security issue

GSR

Hi,

Is there any difference between OBIEE 12c security and OAS security?

Currently I have installed OAS 5.9 version on one of my windows servers. After LDAP configuration, whenever users are trying to login into system(Analytics page), It says insufficient Permissions. Do we have any extra layer security in OAS server? Error message attached below.

Thanks in Advance.

Security is the same. You probably haven't authorized them correctly. Is that a new vanilla install or a migrated system?

GSR

Yes. I installed new vanilla.

We don't have any problem with Admin users.(They are able to login into the system and able to see the dashboards)

The only problem with regular users.

Did you configure the security? Just defining a LDAP is only part of the configuration, you cover authentication, but you still need to deal with authorization. Do your users have roles? Are the roles correct? Do they inherit privileges from the default roles? Did you create fully new roles?

I just created a dummy user (without LDAP) in OBIEE 12c and OAS.

--> By using the dummy username and password, I'm able to login the OBIEE 12c Analytics page.

-->But I'm Not able to login into the Analytics page in OAS.

The security logic is the same, but at the moment you should focus on tracking things in your OAS without caring much about 12c.

A user to be able to login should first have a valid username and password that will be authenticated, after it should have the required authorizations and those come from roles.

Start debugging your roles and make sure your users have the correct and required roles.

You said admin users have no issues, so there is a security model in place, you need now to focus on where do your LDAP users fit in there to understand why they aren't allowed access.

Thanks or the updates. I will take these suggestions and will look into the issue again.
