Implementing a Custom SSO Filter

Business Analytics Administration : Business Analytics Security : Authentication with Single Sign-On Solutions : Implementing a Custom SSO Filter

If the default extractor and transformer filters available in Business Analytics do not provide the functionality needed to allow Business Analytics to work with your SSO solution, you can create custom filters using the Business Analytics SSO Filter API.

To use this API

1. Add the following JARs and classes to your classpath:

Classes in the web-apps-home/presto/WEB-INF/classes folder.

The web-apps-home/presto/WEB-INF/lib/presto_common.jar file.

2. Implement one or both filters:

To create a custom extractor, implement the SSOTokenExtractor interface, typically using the AbstractSSOTokenExtractor base class.

To create a custom transformer, implement the Transformation interface.

3. Add these classes to the classpath. Copy either the compiled class file or a JAR containing the compiled class file to one of these folders, respectively:

The external configuration folder, if any, for the Business Analytics Server. See Setting Up an External Business Analytics Configuration Folder for more information.

Important:

Deploying additional resources, such as custom SSO filters, to an external configuration folder simplifies future deployments or Business Analytics Server clusters.

web-apps-home/presto/WEB-INF/classes. This is the default location, but is not recommended as it complicates Business Analytics Server deployments.
