9.2.1.2 Security Interfaces
The Security API of the Reports Software Development Kit (RSDK) allows you to
integrate your own security model with the Reports Server. OracleAS Reports Services
enables you to plug in any security you wish, using the provided API.
The Security API can control:
■ Who has access to each report
■ When a report can be run
■ Which servers and printers can be used to run a report
■ Which report parameters a user can edit with what range of values
The RSDK includes a tutorial that shows you how to integrate your own security
using an XML file to store the authorization information. At the end of this tutorial,
you will be able to:
■ Implement a security class with OracleAS Reports Services
■ Register a security class with OracleAS Reports Services
■ Use the security class with OracleAS Reports Services
The tutorial and further information on the RSDK can be found on the Oracle
Technology Network.
