How to enable change password in OBIEE10g

OBIEE10g Analytics users can not change password by himself. Is there any way to enable user to change his password without the help of BI administrator.

Solution

  • The following is the workaround to enable change password option in BI answers

    Step 1: Go to the following location

    $OracleBI_HOME/web/msgdb/messages

    Step 2: Open the controlmessages.xml file in edit mode and make the following changes

    Before:

    <!-- <HTML><a insert="1"><sawm:messageRef name="kmsgUIChangePassword"/></a></HTML> -->
</WebMessage>

    After:

    <WebMessage name="kmsgChangePasswordLink">
<HTML><a insert="1"><sawm:messageRef name="kmsgUIChangePassword"/></a></HTML> 
</WebMessage>

    Step 3: Re-start the Oracle BI Server and Oracle BI Presentation Server.

    Then, you will find the change password option under the my account link.
