In out of the box OBIEE/BI Publisher configuration, logging to BI Publisher fail with default user Administrator/Administrator.

In default configuration, it was observed that the authentication mechanism was set to OBIEE Server, instead of BI Publisher. Configuration file of BI Publisher is /oraclebi/product/OracleBI/xmlp/XMLP/Admin/Configuration. tag in this file determines the authentication mechanism for BI Publisher. Default value is BI_SERVER.

In order to use BI Publisher authentication mechanism, set SECURITY_MODEL tag value to XDO.
