Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE)
Overview
This document provides detailed instructions for configuring SSO for OBIEE through OAM using HES. The described configuration assumes the following scenario:
An end user connects to Oracle WebGate by a web browser which works as a connection proxy for OBIEE
WebGate checks if the user is authenticated and if not then redirects the HTTP request to OAM
OAM works as SAML 2.0 Service Provider and redirects the request to HES which works as SAML 2.0 Identity Provider
HES authenticates the user by any available and configured for the user method and returns a SAML 2.0 response to OAM
OAM maps the authenticated user to the Oracle Internet Directory user account by email
OAM redirects the response to WebGate with authenticated token in cookie
WebGate creates an OBIEE session and authorizes the user in OBIEE
