If your company uses BusinessObjects Web Intelligence to generate reports based on TeamConnect data, you can enable BusinessObjects Web Intelligence single sign-on (BOSS) from TeamConnect. Afterward, when a user tries to view a report from TeamConnect, they do not need to type their WebIntelligence username and password.

Currently, the single sign-on capability can be configured for BusinessObjects Web Intelligence XI.

When TeamConnect and Web Intelligence User Names and Passwords Differ

By default, TeamConnect passwords and user names are sent to WebIntelligence for authentication purposes. If the username and password combinations do not match, when the user attempts to run a report, an error page is displayed with several options, one of which is the option to log in to Business Objects manually.

To avoid the manual Web Intelligence login, from Admin Settings, for the General page, select the User's TeamConnect and WebIntelligence username and/or password may be different check-box. Also let the users know they must enter their Web Intelligence login information from the Preferences area, Other Settings page.

Setting up Business Objects WebIntelligence Support

The following is an overview of steps to set up Business Objects WebIntelligence support:

1.Deploy and configure the Business Objects Single Sign-on (BOSS) web application. See the BusinessObjects documentation and Business Objects Single Sign-on in the Installation Help for more information.

Note: The BusinessObjects Web Intelligence administrator should configure the single sign-on capability.

2.A solution developer must enable user access to Business Objects reports from TeamConnect home pages.

3.Configure BusinessObjects Web Intelligence settings from TeamConnect Admin Settings.

4.If any user's TeamConnect user and password combination is different from their BusinessObjects Web Intelligence user and password combination, notify users that they need to update their User Preferences, Other Settings page.

Points to Remember

•If you upgrade from Business Objects 5.x or 6.x to Business Objects XI, make sure all WebIntelligence URLs in portal panes are updated accordingly.

•Sessions on the WebIntelligence server are created only when users click the WebIntelligence URLs in their home pages, not during the TeamConnect login.
