Configure Security
If you will be configuring your server with an OPSYS security provider, you must perform the instructions in the following topics. (For PTH, DBMS, and LDAP security providers, skip these topics.)
- Configure Security With All Security Products, regardless of which security product you use.
- Configure Security With eTrust CA-ACF2 if you use eTrust CA-ACF2.
- Configure Security With eTrust CA-Top Secret if you use eTrust CA-Top Secret.
You can see a full description of all server security providers in the WebFOCUS Reporting Server browser interface help, and also in the WebFOCUS Reporting Server Administration manual. To see it in the WebFOCUS Reporting Server browser interface:
- From the WebFOCUS Reporting Server browser interface menu bar, select Help,
then Contents and Search.
The WebFOCUS Reporting Server browser interface Help window opens.
- In the left pane, expand Server Administration.
Security Providers
The default security provider for a
new installation is the internal security provider, PTH. The PTH
provider implements security using user IDs, passwords, and group memberships
stored in the admin.cfg configuration file.
After the initial installation, the Server Administrator that was configured during the installation can start the server and use the Reporting Server browser interface to further customize security settings, for example, to configure alternate or additional security providers, create additional PTH IDs, and register groups and users in a security role. For more information about security providers, see the Server Security chapter in the ibi™ WebFOCUS® Reporting Server Administration guide.
