Integration with Basic authentication

This diagram and description shows how Infor BI reports are integrated into the CPM Applications web portal using Basic authentication:

  1. The User logs in to CPM Applications using a CPM Applications user name and password.
  2. CPM Applications authenticates the user name and password against the CPM Applications repository.
  3. If the user name and password are correct, the CPM Applications web portal opens.
  4. The user clicks an Application Studio direct link in the CPM Applications web portal. CPM Applications encrypts the password and integrates it, with the user name, into the DirectLink URL.
  5. Application Studio WebServices decrypts the password and logs in to the Infor BI repository. The Infor BI repository sends the login request to the CPM Applications SSO Provider.
  6. The Provider verifies the user name and password against the CPM Applications repository.
  7. The Infor BI report is rendered, calculated and returned to the CPM Applications browser.
