Publishing Reports to the Web - Downloads - Oracle

Administering OracleAS Single Sign-On
parameter_name specifies the Oracle Reports system or user parameter to be used to
pass the connection string to Oracle Reports. For example, in the case of the OracleDB
data source, Oracle Reports receives the connection string via the USERID parameter
and uses it to connect to the specified Oracle database. Similarly, for the EXPRESSPDS,
the EXPRESS_SERVER parameter is used and, for the jdbcpds, p_jdbcpds is used. If
you have your own custom pluggable data sources, you would need to define your
own user parameter for passing the connection string to Oracle Reports and specify it
as parameter_name for SSOCONN.
10.3.3.1.1 Oracle Database Example In the case of an Oracle database, the URL to call a
report with SSOCONN would look something like the following:
http://myhost.mycompany.com:7779/reports/rwservlet?server=rs_cped
&report=my.rdf&destype=cache&ssoconn=mykey/OracleDB/userid&desformat=html
10.3.3.1.2 Oracle Express Example In the case of an Oracle Express database, the Single
Sign-On value would look something like the following:
http://myhost.mycompany.com:7779/reports/rwservlet?server=rs_cped
&report=exppds.rdf&destype=cache&ssoconn=exptest1/EXPRESSPDS/express_server&desformat=html
10.3.3.1.3 JDBC Pluggable Data Source Example In the case of a JDBC data source, the
Single Sign-On value would look something like the following:
http://myhost.mycompany.com:7779/reports/rwservlet?server=rs_cped
&report=Jdbcthin.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=html&ssoconn=jd1/jdbcpds/p_jdbcpds
In this case, jd1 is an Oracle Internet Directory resource name.

■ When you use SSOCONN in a command line, you cannot:
■ Specify authid in the same command line.
■ Run against a Reports Server that is not secure.
■ Have SINGLESIGNON set to NO in rwservlet.properties.
Doing any of the above with SSOCONN in the command line results in an error.
10.3.3.2 Populating the Oracle Internet Directory
For data source security to function with OracleAS Single Sign-On, you need to store
the data connection information for each user in the Oracle Internet Directory or make
the resource a default one available to every user. You can populate Oracle Internet
Directory with this information in any one of the following ways:
■ Oracle Delegated Administration Services
■ User Prompt
■ Batch Loading
■ Making a Resource Available to All Users
