Configure Security
If you will be configuring security provider OPSYS, you must perform the instructions in Configure Security With All Security Products, regardless of which security product you use. (For security providers PTH, DBMS, and LDAP, skip these topics.)
For a full description of all security providers:
- 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.
Alternatively, see the ibi™ WebFOCUS® Reporting Server Administration manual.
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 manual.
