I recently upgraded from 11g to 12c, and am going through testing with my end users.
Apparently in 11g, my end users were able to "bypass" the login screen by using a certain URL
Namely this one
http://<hostname>:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bieehome&startPage=1&NQuser=<userid>&NQPassword=<xxxxxxxx>
So it looks like they fed the userid and password via the URL.
They were using this url bypass to display some reports on an internal intranet website for reporting, more specifically they were using this for BI Publisher.
I tested this URL for OBIEE and I see that it does indeed work in 12c. But they also have some reports in BI Publisher that they want the same functionality, and I cant seem to get it to work.
I tried using this URL in BI Publisher
http://<hostname>:9502/xmlpserver/servlet/home&NQuser=<userid>&NQPassword=<xxxxxxxx>
And I get an error 404.
I am assuming that since the OBIEE 12c URL works, something similar should work for BI Publisher
Has anyone tried doing this for their BI Publisher?
