MSAD Configuration

Most of the clients will use Active Directory which we can integrate with Hyperion Shared Services.

We need AD server details, username, password for communication, Ports we use for connectivity.

Check out below screen shots to setup and AD in Hyperion Shared Services.

Go to Shared Services console - Native directories - Administration - Configure User directories - Click on New - Enter the details which we got or collected from AD team - Click on Finish.

Try to search/retrieve AD users now in MSAD group. 

We need to keep MSAD in Top in list, because in case of searching if we put AD in first and it will go through AD first then Native. 

Note: whenever we do setup and do changes or change order of MSAD in list, we need to bounce Services to take effect.

Thanks,

EPMA Application Library and Dimension Library not opening

Hyperion 11.1.2.4 installation and configuration completed, but when try to open Application Library and Dimension Library, we are getting below error:

; nested exception is: 
  HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: oracle.j2ee.ws.saaj.ContentTypeException: Not a valid SOAP Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8"

Oracle Support Article Soultion:

Accessing Application Library from Workspace Get Errors "HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: oracle.j2ee.ws.saaj.ContentTypeException: Not a valid SOAP Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8" (Doc ID 1932114.1)

1.  Right click on E:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Foundation\BPMA\AppServer\DimensionServer\WebService\web.config and click on Properties.
2.  Click on Security.
3.  Click on Edit.
4.  If SYSTEM is not listed, click on Add, Type "SYSTEM" Click on "Check Names"
5.  Click on SYSTEM and click Allow Check box for "Full Control"
6.  Click Ok
7.  Stop EPMA Services
8.  Stop Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)
9.  Start Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)
10. Start EPMA Services

One more tip from John Goodwin:

To prove whether it is an issue with the ApplicationPoolIdentity identity, you can go to the default app pool in IIS and change the identity, then restart IIS.

Changing local system will work for application library and dimension library accessing.

Thanks,
