Add an Oracle BI Enterprise Edition app
Configure an Oracle BI Enterprise Edition app using the Access Gateway Admin UI console.
Note:
This app uses header variables to exchange user information. You can use the Access Gateway sample header app. See Add a generic header app and Add a sample header app.
Architecture
Before you begin
- Verify that Access Gateway is installed and configured. See Manage Access Gateway deployment.
- Verify that Access Gateway uses your Okta org as an identity provider (IdP). See Configure an Identity Provider in Access Gateway.
- Verify that you have administrator rights on your Okta org and can create groups and assign apps.
- Ensure that the protected Oracle BI Enterprise Edition resource trusts incoming messages.
- Ensure that the protected Oracle BI Enterprise Edition resource supports single sign-on (SSO) with the user identity and SSO cookie in the header.
- Ensure that you're using a supported external app. Access Gateway supports the following versions of Oracle Business Enterprise Edition:
- Oracle BI Enterprise Edition 11g with the latest patch.
- Oracle BI Enterprise Edition 12.1.
- Oracle BI Enterprise Edition 12.2.
- Ensure that appropriate DNS entries for the legacy app and its external URL exist.
- Ensure that appropriate DNS entries for the protected app and its external URL exist, as in this example:
Value Description https://obiee.externalexample.com The external or customer-facing app URL. https://obiee.internalexample.com The internal or protected app URL of an Oracle BI Enterprise Edition app.
