Audit Database and Report Server Connectivity

A Report Server connects to a SiteMinder audit database to create audit-based reports. When an audit-based report is scheduled in the Administrative UI, the Administrative UI passes the following connection information to the Report Server:

• (Oracle) The Oracle Net Service Name that identifies the audit database
• (Microsoft SQL Server) The name of the:
  • Audit database
  • Data source used to connect to audit database
• The user account credentials required to access the audit database

To configure connectivity between the audit database and the Report Server, do one of the following:

• (Oracle) Be sure that the:
  • Oracle Net client is installed to the Report Server host system.
  • Oracle Net Service Name that identifies the audit database is present in the tnsnames.ora file on the Report Server host system.
• (Microsoft SQL Server) Be sure that the data source used to connect to the audit database is present on the Report Server host system.
