I need to set a common id or group id for a set of users and I need to allow them based on common/group id to see Webfocus Portal.
Say example I have 100 set users and all of them have access to one of the Portal Dashboard called Market Dashboard.
I create a common id called "mktuser" and authentication & entitlement to see this dashboard for those 100 users have already been done my application .
So my user will login with their own/individual id to my application and my entitlement model will assign an id (mktuser")
if they have entitled to see Market dashboard . There is a link to launch WF Portal in my application , from there my user
have to redirected to Portal Dash without prompting for username/password.

I did search lot in forum and Webfocus Security administration document , but still I could not figure out correct method to follow ?
Can someone give some higher level idea ?

Poongs,

You may need to deploy custom java servlet filter. More details available in Security and Administration manual.

Thanks,
Ram

A probably easier to manage way would be to pass the real user ID through and instead create a group called "mktuser" or "mktusers" and give this group permissions for the Marketting Dashboard.

If you really want to use a single user ID then you can pass that ID from your appliction using HTML header or variable (REMOTE_USER would be easiest) - You will need to follow the instructions in the Security Manual in the Chapter "Configuring Managed Reporting for Trusted or External Authentication" for setting your Authentication to "Trusted"

Cheers

Thanks Ram and Stu - I Will try to deploy a custom servlet filter to add custom HTTP header variable and follow the "Configuring Managed Reporting for Trusted or External Authentication".
