Issue with accessing (logging into) the IDT using Windows AD based user Account.
Error Screen shot
I am getting the following error while trying to log in to IDT for the first time.
Solution
We need to configure the Information Design Tool (IDT) for manual AD Login + SSO for BI 4.0
Ø Go to your VM and Edit the file: install_dir\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\InformationDesignTool.ini.
Mostly it should be C:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86
Ø Add the following lines to the end of the file and save the file :
-Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:\WINNT\bscLogin.conf
-Djava.security.krb5.conf=C:\WINNT\krb5.ini
Ø Unzip and place the attached folder under C: drive.
Ø Close the IDT application and try it again
The above suggestion is working for me.
Super
thanks
Good Info..
Valuable Info..
Nice blog
Nice Information!!
This is a solution that I've used as well. Keep in mind that every time you upgrade the Business Objects Client Tools on your desktop , you will need to update the ini for Information Design to include references to those two files. Also, this same solution works for Windows AD SSO to Data Federator.
Very Usefull...
