Oracle Analytics Server information:

OAS version: 5.9

Admin server: AdminServer

Admin port: 9500

Managed server: bi_server1

port:9502

cluster: bi_cluster


Before SSO: users can access url " http://oas-test.vida.com:9502/analytics" to request BI application.


After SSO:

Oracle http server information:

OHS version: 12.2.1.4

httpd.conf location: /app/weblogic/Oracle/fmw/user_projects/domains/base_domain/config/fmwconfig/components/OHS/instances/ohs1/httpd.conf

httpd.conf content:

Listen 37777

ServerName oas-test.vida.com

include "mod_wl_ohs.conf"

include "ssl.conf"

include "admin.conf"

IncludeOptional "moduleconf/*.conf"

include "webgate.conf" 


bi_vh.conf under moduleconf:

<VirtualHost *:37777>

  ServerName oas-test.vida.com

  UseCanonicalName On

  ServerAdmin you@your.address

  RewriteEngine On

  RewriteOptions inherit

#redirect browser requests that omit document/dir

RedirectMatch 301 /analytics$ /analytics/

# Analytics

<Location /analytics>

  SetHandler weblogic-handler

  WebLogicHost oas-test.vida.com

  WebLogicPort 9502

</Location>

</VirtualHost>


When i use IE browser and type "http://oas-test.vida.com:37777/", which ohs can redirect to oam login page.

But when type " http://oas-test.vida.com:37777/analytics" and submit in browser, it will be changed to "http://oas-test.vida.com/analytics" soon in browser address bar, and can't be redirected to oam login page(The page prompts Unable to connect). I am not sure if above bi_vh.conf file configuration correct.


So how to configure bi_vh.conf or other configuration files so that ohs redirect to login page then could access BI application?


Thanks

Brian

    No need to respond for this statement: I just want to follow-up with a reminder that OAS 5.9 is out of Error Correction Support since March 2023. You may want to consider planning your upgrade to OAS 2023.

    Oracle Analytics Server Error Correction Support Policy and Dates (Doc ID 2775561.1)

    Just a minor reference point, that the older MS Internet Explorer (IE) browser is not supported with any version of OAS (Safari,Chrome,FireFox, and Edge are certified and supported).

    Your redirect looks OK for single node implementation, for only the /analytics URL; however, you should include all the URL's (maybe you just gave a snippet). The reason is there are internal redirects.

    See all the directives here: Configuring Oracle HTTP Server to Route Requests to the Application Tier

    The above is just one portion of the configuration. You mentioned SSO, so if you are using Oracle Access Manager, then that configuration needs reviewed for protected URL's

    Parent topic: Registering the Oracle HTTP Server WebGate with Oracle Access Manager

    Updating the Protected, Public, and Excluded Resources for an Enterprise Deployment


    If you are using another SSO, then that may need reviewed, and may require a service request for collecting your data, details etc.


    Other comments are welcomed.

    I believe that the redirection is not set properly.

    Please revisit your OHS access/error logs, and verify if all the context roots are properly configured for the redirection. It looks to be a config issue.
