Interface ITrustedPrincipal

All Superinterfaces:

java.security.Principal

public interface ITrustedPrincipal
extends java.security.Principal

This interface represents a trusted principal object. A trusted principal allows you to log on to the Central Management Server without a password. This is known as trusted authentication.

To enable trusted authentication on a client machine, create a text file named TrustedPrincipal.conf on the client machine and add the following text:

SharedSecret=<secret>

where <secret> is the trusted authentication shared secret configured in BusinessObjects Enterprise.

Save the TrustedPrincipal.conf file in one of the following locations:

• C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
• The directory specified in the bobj.trustedauth.home Java system property, which can be set at runtime:

  System.setProperty("bobj.trustedauth.home", "C:\\myNewDir")

Note: If the shared secret contains non-ASCII characters, the TrustedPrincipal.conf file must be saved with UTF-8 encoding.
