SAML Authentication for Reporting Server

[rueben_ramirez]

Hello,

Our team has successfully implemented SAML/Azure authentication for web service (port 8080), but has anyone successfully implemented SAML for the reporting server (port 8121) ? Is this even an option? I do have a ticket open, but thought I'd stage the question here as well.

Hi @rueben_ramirez, if you are using WebFOCUS 9 and want to access Reporting server using SAML Authentication, you can use it by opening reporting server through below location

Management Center->Administration Console->Reporting Servers->Server Connections->Right Click on EDASERVE and click on Reporting Server Console

It will open reporting server for you. Unfortunately, I have not been able to separately open reporting server with SAML Authentication. If you find any other way do update here, it will be good learning for us. Thanks.

Hey @Bajr Prakash Singh thanks for the reply! Looks like SAML auth for reporting server is not an option. From support ticket:

The SAML can be configured only to the WF client. We don't have an option to configure an SAML on the Reporting Server.
On Reporting Server you can configure the LDAP if needed.
