Symptoms
You want to be able to access directly any dashboard or page and authenticate using Kerberos. However when you enter the URL for such a page, for example:
http://<machine_name>:9704/analytics/saw.dll?dashboard&PortalPath=%2Fshared%2FRevenue%2F_portal%2FRevenue
you are directed to the OBIEE log in page.
You have set up web.xml file as follows:
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>BI Analytics</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>SSORole</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>BI Analytics Login</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/saw.dll/*</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/res/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
</security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>BI Analytics</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>SSORole</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>BI Analytics Login</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/saw.dll/*</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/res/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
</security-constraint>
If you access the root of the application rather than trying to open a dashboard, you are authenticated and are logged into OBIEE.
