BI Server uses LDAP and BI Publisher uses BI server auth - can this work?

Hello

I've set up OBI EE BI Server to use our MS Active Directory LDAP repository for authentication purpose. It works perfectly.

On the other hand BI Publisher is configured to use the BI server authentication. I can see that groups XMLP * here, but obviously there are has no users defined in the BI server to add their!

The reason why I want to use this configuration is that it's another Department who is responsible for the maintenance of the AD and it would make things easier if we could maintain access BI Publisher ourselves, through the BI tool admin server.

Something tells me that's not possible, but I was wondering if there is any workaround or tip for this problem?

Thank you
Luis

With ADSI, you cannot import users and groups. You then create an initialization of variable session with an external table:

See an example here:

See you soon
