OBIEE SSO with SiteMinder
empyreOct 1 2009 — edited Oct 9 2009Hi Folks,
Can i get clarification on the setup for SSO with SiteMinder?
I have seen two different configuration instructions for instanceconfig.xml
This configuration came out of word documentation that was provided to my team for SiteMinder implementation.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<WebConfig>
<ServerInstance>
<!-- other settings ... -->
<Auth>
<Impersonator>Impersonator</Impersonator>
<ImpersonatorPassword>12hjsdf</ImpersonatorPassword>
<SSOEnabled>y</SSOEnabled>
<SSOServerVariable>REMOTE_USER</SSOServerVariable>
</Auth>
<!-- other settings ... -->
</ServerInstance>
</WebConfig>
I compared this against the Oracle Docs, which have a different set of configuration.
<!-- other settings ... -->
<Auth>
<SSO enabled="true">
<ParamList>
<!--IMPERSONATE param is used to get the authenticated user's username and is required -->
<Param name="IMPERSONATE"
source="serverVariable"
nameInSource="REMOTE_USER"/>
</ParamList>
</SSO>
<!-- other settings ... -->

Can anyone that has implemented SSO with SiteMinder provide some insight?
