    Hello Rubem,

     

    Primarily it is enabling the SSL connector on the CABI Tomcat's server.xml and tweaking other options per need.   This link should cover it: Securing CA BI environment - CA Business Intelligence - 4.1 SP5 - CA Technologies Documentation

    Namaste Raghu,

    Thanks for your help.

    I try to use the instructions but there are many options, so help me to find the best way.

    My support people gave me some files with several extensions: .cer , .jks , .key , .pem , .req  , .pfx , .csr

    Sincerily , I dont know how I have to use.

    I execute the first instruction "Enable tomcat for SSL" generating the .keystroke file and I dont feel any effect.

    Rgds

    Jon_Israel , I saw the article https://communities.ca.com/thread/100317542#100317861 and appreciate if you tell me how I can apply the knowledge,  but to Tomcat of CABI. I guess its a little bit different. 

    Rgds.

    hi,

    Please refer to the server xml modification in Jon_Israel post for the server part.

    For the ssl import most of certificates authority provide you steps to import their cert.

    in your case as BOXI running Tomcat will be in the .keystore.

    below is a link (google is my friend) with detailed instruction and explanation:

    Rubem........

     

    In addition to the documentation that Raghu.Rudraraju and Jerome provided, the following document might also be useful

     

    Enable SSL in Tomcat for BOXI using a Self-Signed Certificate

    Hi Jon,

     

    The answer is Yes and now I have a SSL BOXI server, working.

    The BI Launch is OK , but I dont have any signal of the user reports. The url showed is Empty.html.

    I guess that there is anything more to do and I dont know what... 

    This is my original question a few days ago and I did this question seaching the fix to both problems: users report and BI Launch.

    Rubem - glad to hear you now have SSL in place - thats great!!    BUT, I am not sure I totally understand the problem exactly now.  You now have SSL working, but whats the issue with the user reports now?  You can get into BI LaunchPad but you cant get to any of the user reports?

    Were these reports copied from another system?  Did they ever work?

    Hi Jon,

    See the image below. 

    May be a simple configuration in the NX.env. I cant verify now because my server id down.

    May be a user setup ... Rgds.

    Not sure what the screenshot is showing exactly.  I only see the "asset list" header - but is there nothing underneath that loading?
