Configuring Kerberos SSO for OBIEE 12c

Question

Hello Team,

I am planning to implement Kerberos SSO configuration. I have a few queries can some help me with that. My OBIEE 12.2.1.2.0 server (Linux Redhat)  is up and running without any issue.

1. My server hostname contains a hyphen "-" symbol like (testserver-231). Does it impact during SSO configuration? I read somewhere that the hostname doesn't contain any special character?

2. Any challenges will occur during this integration due to the hostname issue?

Thanks

It should not be an issue.

I’ve personally had it configured on servers with hyphens in the hostname.

I believe you have succeeded without any issue on your servers

My actual hostname likes as below.

testserver-231.domain.dc.ap.local

Based on your confirmation will try it out. I am referring to this document only.

My suggestion would be to try it out. I can’t see a hyphen being an issue. I’ve personally had it configured on servers with hyphens in the host name.

These instructions in this 3 part white paper are very detailed.
