Synchronize UI Server with Report Server

You make the UI Server aware of the trusted authentication password that you entered. The UI Server uses the password to enable SSO for reports.

Follow these steps:

1. Create a text file named TrustedPrincipal.conf file in the CA SOI installation folder. If you accepted the default location, create the file in C:\Program Files\CA\SOI.
2. Enter the following line in the file:

   SharedSecret=password
   

   password

   Specifies the password that you entered for trusted authentication in BusinessObjects. This password must be the same as the password entered in the Shared secret field for SSO to work.

3. Save and close the file.
4. Create an environment variable named CA_TRUSTEDAUTH_HOME set to the complete path to the TrustedPrincipal.conf file created in Step 2.

   Example: CA_TRUSTEDAUTH_HOME=C:\Program Files\CA\SOI

   Note: If CA SOI is sharing the server with another CA Technologies product using CA Business Intelligence for reports (for example, CA Spectrum), this environment variable can exist and point to a TrustedPrincipal.conf file. If so, do not change the existing value.

5. Restart the CA SOI User Interface service.

   SSO for reports is enabled.
