Users in JasperServer DB

[nirum]

Hi,

 If we want to provide SSO with our database and not maintain **ANY** user information in the jasperserver database, is it possible to do so. This means I want to use our dataabase for everything - we don't want to have anything about the user in the jasperserver db or maintain anything in the long run.

 The reason is that we have a requirement where we will have around a milllion users in our system using JasperServer and we may have updates going on to alteast 5% of these users constantly. So we do not want to have to do anything on the JasperServer side as well. However, we want reporting to run off Jasperserver without any problems when these updates happen to our database (e.g., delete a user, delete a role etc).

Thanks for your input,

niru

Hi,

 

Well my quick reply would be, yes it can be done using LDAP. Take a look applicationContext-security.xml file (section LDAP).

 

I never try using SSO, so im not able to give much details.

  I have implemented SSO and yes, JasperServer does add users without any password for such users. However, there is still a lot of folders/permissions/roles that is set up per user. Is there anyway we can avoid this setup as we have thousands of users and we need some automation in doing this.

 

Thanks
