Re: Clients tools and https configuration

Hi Moises,

 

Firstly, You need to understand the key concept we use for these stuff.

 

CORBA SSL : Securing WAS (Web Application Server) - BI server communication.

WAS SSL : Securing WAS (Web Application Server) - client communication.


If you say you have configured HTTPS which means you have configured SSL on WAS. Ex: Tomcat is WAS so you are using Tomcat SSL. In this case you use HTTPS to access the server like https://myserver:8443/BOE/CMC . In this case you don't need to configure or run any command to use Client tool to connect to the server.


Now,


If you have implemented CORBA SSL which is generating the certificates, key, passphrase file and then configured in the SIA properties then you need to configure the Corba SSL on the client tool also.The screen shot you have attach is actually configuring the corba SSL on the client side.


In Most of the scenarios Both are configured by the customer.


Configuring servers/clients for  mixed mode:

After creating certificates as mentioned in Administration Guide of BI 4.X Section Configuring servers for SSL(Chapter 8 Securing the BI Platform)   and configuring the Corba SSL protocol in the CCM, you can follow the below steps as per your requirement.

 

 

 

To configure the Corba SSL protocol for the web application server so Application server could communicate to Business Intelligence Servers enabled with Corba SSL and Business Intelligence Servers that are NOT Corba SSL enabled.


You could set follwing system properties in your J2EE Web application Server.

 

 

-Dbusinessobjects.orb.oci.protocol=mixed

-DcertDir=<Location of directory where Certificates are stored>

-DtrustedCert=cacert.der

-DsslCert=clientcert.der

-DsslKey=client.key

-Dpassphrase=passphrase.txt

 

 

To configure thick clients(BI 4.X Client Tools) so that Client tools could communicate to Business Intelligence Servers enabled with Corba SSL and Business Intelligence Servers NOT Corba ssl enabled.


Navigate location <Install_dir>/SAP Business Objects/SAP Business Objects XI 4.0 Enterprise Xi 4.0/win32_x86/ and execute command

sslconfig.exe -dir <Location of directory where Certificates are stored> -mycert servercert.der -rootcert cacert.der -mykey server.key -passphrase passphrase.txt -protocol mixed

 

 

>>>>>>>>>>HERE WHAT YOU NEED TO DO : <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

 

To configure Corba SSL login for the translation management tool,Information Design Tool and Data Federation Administration Tool you need to edit below mentioned ini file

Information Design Tool (IDT)    InformationDesignTool.ini

Translation Management Tool (TMT)   TransMgr.ini

Data Federation Administration Tool (DFAdmin)  DFAdministrationTool.ini

 

 

File path: <INSTALLDIR>\SAPBusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86

 

 

Edit the file mentioned as "Configuration File" and add the following files mentioned above:

 

 

-Dbusinessobjects.orb.oci.protocol=mixed

-DcertDir=<Location of directory where Certificates are stored>

-DtrustedCert=cacert.der

-DsslCert=servercert.der-DsslKey=server.key

-Dpassphrase=passphrase.txt

-jar program.jar

Mahak
