How to define OpenPages security with AURA

Check list of all posts

OpenPages security is very flexible, which can handle all complicated scenarios. Role Assignment is to assign a user (or a user group) to access a role template. AURA is the tool to load user into OP.  

1. Setup

Simply copy AURA into work directory. The user must either have a 1.5.x “javaw.exe” file in the system path, or have a 1.5.x JRE folder in the same directory as AURA.bat.

2. Configure

The main task is to configure property file.

The key one is the acl.properties, make sure the space is with \ and space. Please see sample below.

prefix.Action\ Item=/_op_sox/Project/Default/IssueActionItems

prefix.Business\ Environment=/_op_sox/Project/Default/ICDocumentation/Business\ Environments

prefix.Business\ Environment\ Eval=/_op_sox/Project/Default/ICDocumentation/Business\ Environment\ Evals

prefix.Control=/_op_sox/Project/Default/ICDocumentation/Controls

prefix.Control\ Eval=/_op_sox/Project/Default/ICDocumentation/Control\ Evals

prefix.Control\ Question=/_op_sox/Project/Default/ICDocumentation/Control\ Questions

prefix.File=/op_sox_documents/Files\ and\ Forms

prefix.Financial=/_op_sox/Project/Default/ICDocumentation/Financials

prefix.Issue=/_op_sox/Project/Default/Issue

prefix.KRI=/_op_sox/Project/Default/ICDocumentation/KRI's

prefix.KRI\ Value=/_op_sox/Project/Default/ICDocumentation/KRI\ Values

prefix.Link=/op_sox_documents/Files\ and\ Forms

prefix.Loss\ Event=/_op_sox/Project/Default/ICDocumentation/Loss\ Events

prefix.Loss\ Event\ Source=/_op_sox/Project/Default/ICDocumentation/Loss\ Event\ Sources

3. Generate user script

The best step should be use following sequence

1. User
2. Domain assignment
3. Role assignment
4. Security Context Reference

4. Generate group script

Group should be done after users, simple copy all users into spreadsheet, then get xml

5. Load into OpenPages

cd /opt/OpenPages/AURA/Folder

./Load_BNS_Users.ksh

cd /opt/OpenPages/bin

./ObjectManager.sh l c OpenPagesAdministrator OpenPagesAdministrator /opt/OpenPages/AURA/Folder GroupAssignment
