    <p><strong>Edit:</strong> Appended "or LDAP" to question title to indicate that I would be fine to have a solution which made it possible for me to authenticate with LDAP credentials.</p> <p><strong>My Question:</strong> How do I authenticate a <a href="http://help.sap.com/javadocs/boe/xi/ws/en/com/businessobjects/dsws/session/Session.html" rel="nofollow">BusinessObjects session</a> using credentials with Active Directory?</p> <p><strong>Example:</strong> I have (I think) an example from SAP on how to do this in <code>.NET</code> but I can't seem to find a similar solution for <code>Java</code>. (See <a href="http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/businessobjectsxir2sp2/en/en/WS_SDK/wssdk_consumer/doc/wssdk_dg.pdf" rel="nofollow">this pdf</a> and search for "Modify the .NET Web Application to enable Kerberos").</p> <p><strong>Currently:</strong> I have a solution to authenticate using an Enterprise Account:</p> <pre><code>/** * Logs into BusinessObjects. Sets the reportEngine and biPlatform */ public void loginToBusinessObjects() throws AxisFault, MalformedURLException, Exception { LogHelper.println("Server connection: " + boServer); URL boConURL = new URL(boServer);//set connection URL connection = new com.businessobjects.dsws.Connection(boConURL); boSession = new Session(connection); //setup new session EnterpriseCredential credential = EnterpriseCredential.Factory.newInstance(); credential.setLogin(boUsername); credential.setPassword(boPassword); LogHelper.println(boUsername + ": ##password##"); boSession.login(credential); //login to server ... } </code></pre> <p>The code above works great.</p> <p><strong>Now:</strong> I want to be able allow users to give their Active Directory credentials and authenticate using those. I can't seem to find a way to do this however. Documentation on the code above can be found in <a href="http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/businessobjectsxir2sp2/en/en/WS_SDK/wssdk_consumer/doc/wssdk_dg.pdf" rel="nofollow">that same pdf</a> searching for "Logging in to a server."</p> <p><strong>Note</strong>: I could be going about this all wrong. My organization uses the same credentials for Active Directory and LDAP Authentication. If there's a way to do this using LDAP that may be sufficient. Thanks.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
