Unlock a user

If logging in to OBIEE is failing, it is possible that the account is locked; there is no message displayed that tells us that the account is locked.

This is how a user can be unlocked.

  • log in to the console
  • click bifoundation_domain
  • click Security
  • click Unlock User
  • enter the username
  • click Save

Unlock user

The message User successfully unlocked appears.

Unlock user done

The “successful” message will always appear; also if the user wasn’t locked or when a user doesn’t exists!

But, when the user exists and was locked, it will be possible to log in again.

Completely remove an OBIEE user

A user can be deleted in the console. When a user is deleted this way, there will be leftovers. For example, the user folder continues to exist. To completely remove a user, you must use the command below.

  • connect to the Unix server
  • make sure the Catalog Manager is closed
  • run the command
runcat.sh -cmd forgetAccounts -offline /[ENV]/FMW/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/catalog/ -username [USER] -cleanup

([ENV] and [USER] have to be replaced)

The user is completely removed now, including the user folders.

Screenshot output:

delete user
