Publishing Reports to the Web - Downloads - Oracle

Configuring the Reports Servlet
1. Start a Reports Server.
2. Set DIAGNOSTIC=NO in the rwservlet.properties file.
3. Access the Reports Server from rwservlet, by using any of the Web commands,
for example, getserverinfo. You must pass an authid here.
For example:
http://yourwebserver:portnum/reports/rwservlet/getserverinfo?server=aks+authid=
scott/tiger
Now, any access to the Reports Server for using the Web commands will have to
pass the same authid. If the authid is not passed, then you will get the
following error:
REP-52262: Diagnostic output is disabled.
To modify the administrator username and / or password:
1. Open the Reports Server configuration file, i.e.,server_name.conf.
2. Modify the element:
3.3.4 Selecting Login Dialog Boxes
Note: The Reports Server will save this authid in the following
directory: ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf/server_name.conf
file under the element. The element is
set in the Reports Server configuration file by the first Web
command call if it is not defined in the server configuration file and
the values are automatically encrypted when the Reports Server is
started. The format to preset the element in the
Reports Server configuration file is:
username/password
The clear text of username and password will be encrypted by
Reports Server once it starts up, and the encrypted atttribute is
changed to yes to indicate the content is encrypted.
Refer to identifier, for more information on the
element.
admin_name/admin_
password
Tip: You can specify the administrator username/password in
the element in the rwserver.template file. This
ensures that you can pass the same authid for any Reports Server
that you start up.
The servlet configuration file offers a number of parameters dealing with templates for
userid/password dialog boxes that should open when a user logs in to a database or
runs a secure report. Generally, these parameters point to various templates to be used
for setting up your login screens. You can customize these templates with your
company logo, linked buttons, and/or any other HTML you care to use.
