Security
BIRT iServer Express is a BIRT report server that deploys, manages, schedules, secures, runs and distributes BIRT reports. It embeds the Eclipse BIRT Engine and Java APIs. It is compatible with reports developed with any BIRT Designer including BIRT Studio. It also works with the BIRT Viewer and BIRT Interactive Viewer. It can be deployed as a stand-alone report server or as a behind-the-scenes reporting service for other applications.
Features: BIRT Security
BIRT iServer Express supports simple and complex security models, enabling organizations to ensure that users access only the BIRT reports and data they are allowed to see. BIRT iServer Express has its own security model to manage user logins stand-alone, but when an existing security infrastructure exists, BIRT iServer Express offers multiple ways to access those systems to support single sign-on (SSO).
Hierarchical-based User Security
BIRT iServer Express offers hierarchal role-based security with multi-level access permissions which, when used together, provide multiple approaches for granular control over user access.
- Secure Reports on a User Basis - access levels are determined by unique privileges assigned to the individual.
- Secure Reports on a Role Basis - access levels are determined by the functional or hierarchical role a person has in the organization, such as their specific job or management level.
Controlled Report and Data Access
- Secure Report Access - permissions determine which reports users are able to access.
- Secure Data Access - permissions determine the data that can be included in the reports users access.
- Secure Functional Access - permissions determine if users can create, generate or just view reports and if they are able to administer the server.
- BIRT Reports Page Level Security for iServer- an add-on product that offers the ability to determine which pages of a report are available to a user without generating multiple documents. Page Level Security allows a single piece of content to be generated and deployed that addresses the secure information distribution needs of many users.
Multiple Secure Sign-on Options
BIRT iServer Express security can be implemented stand-alone or through integration with external directory services such as LDAP and Active Directory
- Stand-alone - user names and roles are stored in iServer Express, with direct user log-in to BIRT iServer Express.
- Individual Privileges plus Single Sign-On (SSO) - user names and roles are stored in BIRT iServer Express, with invisible log-in to iServer Express handled by external SSO.
- External privileges plus SSO - user names and roles are not stored on BIRT iServer Express, with invisible log-in to BIRT iServer Express handled by external SSO.
