OBIEE 12c - BI Groups from External Table and LDAP Authentication
Answers
-
Hello,
LDAP users have to be authenticated from the LDAP Provider EDir (see the list below). BIGroups is a BISQLGroupProvider and not an authenticator. Its used to fetch groups that are tagged to different application roles and those roles have been given access.
The groups getting fetched from the LDAP Authentication are actually of no use in OBIEE. Main issue is with the users getting fetched having difficulties logging in. Please help.
Regards,
Avik Dutta.

The issue has been finally resolved. The problem was with the provider authentication type. I selected ActiveDirectoryAuthenticator as the type where as it should have been Iplanet authenticator. Deleted the existing provider and recreated the the same with this type and things worked. Thanks for all your help. Seems like I was misinformed by the system Admin regarding the type of the LDAP server.
Regards,
Avik Dutta.

Not easy if the admin doesn't even tell you the right kind of LDAP they have ...
So you can close the thread as everything has been solved, for now it's still This question is Not Answered.

Geezus that's pretty bad. Ask him whether it's also no problem to fill a petrol car with diesel or vice versa (hint: one is indefinitely worse than the other :-P )
