Add an Oracle BI Enterprise Edition app
Configure an Oracle BI Enterprise Edition app using the Access Gateway Admin UI console.
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.
