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