Public Cloud AUTH

1. Version

2. Application scenarios

Users need to register multiple projects, it is very troublesome to export project information multiple times, and they do not want to build an authorization server locally.

FanRuan has built a public cloud authentication server. The customer initiates an authorization request by filling in the authentication information, and sends it to the public cloud authentication server for unified verification and authorization.

3. Function introduction

The public cloud registration method has the following characteristics:

1) Public cloud registration of BI projects of version 5.1.14 and later will not be restricted by physical information, and changes in physical information will not cause registration failure

For BI projects of versions earlier than 5.1.14 to register with the public cloud, physical information needs to be fixed, and changes in physical information will cause the registration to fail. If the registration expires, please refer to Chapter 4 to unbind and re-register.

2) The client BI server must be connected with the authorization server through the public network. Clients who are not allowed to open the external network cannot use this registration method.

The external network addresses that need to be opened include:

3) The registration method is simple and easy to operate, and there is basically no registration failure.

4) Users can register multiple projects by applying for one authorization, and the price will fluctuate according to the "maximum registration amount".

If the BI server IP is not restricted when applying for authorization, it can be registered on any BI server, which is more flexible.

1. Obtain the authorization file

Please use the email address specified in the contract to send the registration information to FineBI business@fanruan.com , the email format is as follows:

After receiving the email, the business will generate an account and password for the user after verification, and send it to the user by email.

2. Verify registration

The administrator logs in to the data decision system, and clicks "Management System > Registration Management > Register Now", as shown in the following figure:

Select "Public Cloud" as the authentication method, enter the account and password in the email sent by the business, and click "Submit". The authentication is successful. As shown below:

Note: For projects of version 5.1.17 and later, RSA is used by default to encrypt and store public cloud passwords. If the encryption algorithm is switched, the passwords will be updated synchronously.

1. Phenomenon description

If the registration fails, a pop-up window will appear on the page, as shown below:

2. Reasons for failure

Click Details to view the reasons for the registration failure, and troubleshoot according to the specific failure reasons.

Note: In addition to the above failure reasons, other unified errors are reported: the content of the certificate is incorrect.

When there are multiple failure reasons, they are all displayed in the platform.

When sending a business email, the maximum number of registrations that can be made is indicated.

1) When the number of servers does not exceed the maximum number of registrations, you can directly use the public cloud account of the original server to register on the new server.

2) If the maximum number of registrations is exceeded, after the original server is unbound, the new server will be registered with the original server's public cloud account.

The administrator logs in to the data decision system, clicks "Manage > Registration > Version Information", and clicks "Re-register > Unbind" to unbind the old server.

Note 1: The new server can be registered only after the original server has been shut down for more than 24 hours, otherwise the number of registrations will still be occupied.

Note 2: If the original server is not unbound, when the new server uses the original server's public cloud account to register, the registration fails, and it prompts: the maximum number of authorizations has been reached.
