Hi All,

When we install OBIEE the default URL is : http://ABC.comcastcom:9502/analytics

where ABC.com is like Server name.

My Goal is to change URL into something like http://reports.comcast.com/analytics

Masking the host name and Port number.

How to achieve this ?

Thanks

Venkat

    Hi,

    The easier way, as you also want to change the domain, would probably be a proxy server in front of it. So a standard webserver (Apache, Nginx etc.) listening on port 80 (standard http:// ) for reports.comcast.com and forwarding the request to your OBIEE server.

    Can applying SSL be a better idea?

    How SSL can make it on port 80 of a different domain name of the one they installed?

    I also don't think the default SSL setup for OBIEE is on port 443 but probably something else again, so the issue on that part is still there. And SSL will not help you at all because if your OBIEE expect connections for ABC.comcast.com you can't use a SSL certificate for reports.comcast.com and so you still need to change the hostname (and I assume that if it was as simple they would already do it).

    It's also quite common to have a proxy in front of OBIEE, even more if you setup SSL as you can do SSL offloading at the proxy level and let your OBIEE as simple HTTP and block direct access by firewall rules.
