Package com.businessobjects.enterprise.secwindowsnt Description

This package allows you to map groups and their members from your Windows NT user database to BusinessObjects Enterprise, and verify all logon requests that specify Windows NT Authentication. Users are authenticated against the Windows NT user database, and have their membership in a mapped NT group verified before the Central Management Server (CMS) grants them an active BusinessObjects Enterprise session.

This plugin is compatible with NT 4 or Windows 2000 Active Directory user databases. For more information on mapping Windows NT users and groups to BusinessObjects Enterprise, see the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator’s Guide.

Retrieving an authentication plugin

Unlike the desktop plugins, the authentication plugins are static, and objects cannot be created from them. It follows that since no instances of the plugin exist, you must retrieve the plugin itself. Each type of authentication plugin in BusinessObjects Enterprise is represented by an InfoObject. These objects are stored in the CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS category in the CMS InfoStore, and must be retrieved using the SI_NAME property.
