How to rewrite the url to OBIEE11g page after successful authentication ?

Suppose you have installed OBIEE11g on top of Weblogic server but authentication (e.g. CA Site Minder) is done on IIS7. Now, you need a URL rewrite for successfull authentication. Here the steps to implement the URL rewrite process.

Step1:

Launch IIS Manager and click the server node in the tree view to enable Proxy support in ARR

 Step2:

Double click on “Application Request Routing Cache” icon

Step3:

Select “Server Proxy Settings” task in the Actions panel. Ensure the “Enable Proxy” checkbox is marked.

This will allow any request in the server that is rewritten to a server which is not the local machine will be routed to the right place automatically without any further configuration.

 Step4:

Modify the web.config file (inetpub\wwwroot\ ) to configure URL Rewrite to route the right folders and their requests to the right site.

                <rule name="ReverseProxyInboundRule1" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">

                    <match url="^analytics/(.*)" />

                     <action type="Rewrite" url="http://IP address:port/analytics/{R:1}" />

                </rule>
