Of course, there are advantages to utilizing Atrium SSO as well.

1. You'd have more complete support, since Atrium SSO is the recommend method 
for creating a trusted login between AR System powered applications and other 
BMC offerings like Analytics.  While "SAP BOXI" may have some similar 
capabilities, BMC would be limited in its ability to support that integration.

2. Atrium SSO will soon enable trusted login to other BMC products beyond just 
AR System powered applications.  So as you expand your product set to other 
facets of the BSM solution, you'll be all set to take advantage of Atrium SSO.

OK.  I'll look at that instead.  We've not configured our BOXI that way because 
we only ever had admins logging into it to schedule reports. With Analytics, 
the use would expand greatly (of course).

Hello,

BMC Analytics, also known as SAP BOXI, has a perfectly good LDAP
integration which is similar to BMC's AREA LDAP. So there are no issues
integrating it with AD. It also has a reasonable SSO interface offering
more than AtriumSSO. 

AtriumSSO has no support for IIS or Integrated Windows Authentication,
by virtue of OpenSSO (a free end of life product that has a BMC badge)
not supporting either. 

In all fairness, you can probably persuade OpenSSO to integrate with an
AD using Kerberos only, but that's not a full IWA implementation which
means some users won't have SSO access.

It sounds like you need to configure BOXI to integrate with your LDAP as
you do with your existing BMC AREA LDAP plugin.


John
