Integrating users with Web Reports

You can use the Web Reports component to allow your local Web Reports users to access BigFix Compliance.

Before you begin

Install the Web Reports component. The component is typically installed together with your BigFix server but you can also add it to your environment at any time. To do so, start the installation of BigFix and choose to install only Web Reports.

About this task

You can use the same credentials for the user as specified in Web Reports. To achieve this, create an entry for the user in BigFix Compliance using the username as in Web Reports and choose Web Reports as the authentication method. Whenever you change the credentials in Web Reports, they will also be valid in BigFix Compliance with no additional configuration.

The role of the user is managed in BigFix Compliance.

Only local Web Reports users are supported.

Procedure

Connect your BigFix Compliance server to the Web Reports database.
1. Log in to BigFix Compliance.
2. In the navigation bar, click Management > Data Sources.
3. Click on your data source and fill in the connection parameters for the Web Reports database. The required information will differ depending on the type of the database that you use. For more information, see the following examples.
Each of your Web Reports users must be manually added to BigFix Compliance. After you complete this action, the users will be linked with their equivalents in Web Reports:
1. In BigFix Compliance, click Management > Users.
2. Click New to create a new user.
3. Enter the user name that corresponds with a Web Reports user name.
4. Select the appropriate roles.
  The roles are not integrated between the applications and must be selected manually for each user.
5. In the Authentication Method, choose Web Reports.
6. Click Create.
7. Repeat this action for each of your Web Reports users.

Results

The created user is linked with its equivalent in Web Reports. You can now use it to log in to BigFix Compliance by using the same password that is specified in Web Reports. Whenever you change this password in Web Reports, it will also be valid for logging in to BigFix Compliance.
