[OBIEE 10g] Enabling Change Password

 

Enabling change password in OBIEE 10g

While working on  OBIEE10g, there is specific requrement that we have to enable the "Change Password " Option in My account of every user in the presentation Services. So that Each User who is accessing the dashboard can change their password when they required.

To enable this option we have to do a small workaround.
Go the OBIEE Installed BI folder and open the Controlmessages.xml. In my case the path is like below:

    C:\OracleBI\web\msgdb\messages\controlmessages.xml

Once you opened the file, you will get the message like below picture.

Just remove the command tag which indicated in the red rectangle in the screen shot to enable the 'Change Password' Option and save the file and restart the Oracle Java Host, Oracle BI Server and Oracle BI Presentation Server. 

Now you login to presentation services and Go to My Account. You can see the 'Change Password' option available there. By clicking that we can change the password.
