Plug in the WSDL and click Open. The URL would look like: http://<weblogic host>:<obiee port>/<package name>-<project name>-contextroot/<package name>Port?WSDL

On my local, it is: http://172.16.12.166:9704/ChngPwd-passwordchange-contextroot/ChngPwdPort?WSDL

Drill down until you can select passwordChange, and select it. Click Ok

This opens up a new dialog box, enter the following values for the prompts (no quotes): o passwordChange_arg0 = "Username:" o passwordChange_arg1 = "Old Password:" o passwordChange_arg2 = "New Password:" o passwordChange_arg3 = "Confirm Password:"

For the Username argument, for Value select Session Variable, then type in USER and mark it as fixed and hidden. This will force the password change to only work for the current logged in user.

OBIEE Server Steps

The following steps take place on the OBIEE server. All files references are for a Linux/Solaris install, but file locations will be similar for Windows.
Update the following files, to place a link to the Change Password in the header bar: /apps/applobi/OBIEE11g/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/web/app/res/b_mozilla/header.js /apps/applobi/OBIEE11g/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/bi_server1/tmp/_WL_user/ analytics_11.1.1/7dezjl/war/res/b_mozilla/header.js

For these two files, find the line:

b.push(new obips.ContextMenu.MenuOption(saw.header.getLocalizedString("kmsgHeaderMyAccou nt"),"",null,new obips.Callback(this,this.onMyAccount)));

and replace it with:

b.push(new obips.ContextMenu.MenuOption(saw.header.getLocalizedString("kmsgHeaderMyAccou nt"),"",null,new obips.Callback(this,this.onMyAccount)));b.push(new obips.ContextMenu.MenuOption(saw.header.getLocalizedString("kmsgHeaderCustomU RL"),"",null,new obips.Callback(this,this.onCustomURL)));

then find the line:

saw.header.NavBar.prototype.onMyAccount=function(){saw.header.Menubar.getMana ger().hidePopupPanel();var a=new saw.ondemandload.FuncProxy("obips.AccountInfo.launchDialog",{messageTemplate: "kuiMyAccountDialogHead"});a.exec()};

and replace it with:

saw.header.NavBar.prototype.onMyAccount=function(){saw.header.Menubar.getMana ger().hidePopupPanel();var a=new saw.ondemandload.FuncProxy("obips.AccountInfo.launchDialog", {messageTemplate:"kuiMyAccountDialogHead"});a.exec()};saw.header.NavBar.proto type.onCustomURL=function(){var w = 1920, h = 1080; if (document.all) { w = document.body.clientWidth;h = document.body.clientHeight;x = window.screenTop;y = window.screenLeft;} else if (document.layers) { w = window.innerWidth;h = window.innerHeight;x = window.screenX;y = window.screenY;} var popW = 450, popH = 276;var leftPos = ((w-popW)/2)+y, topPos = ((h-popH)/2)+x;window.open('saw.dll?PortalPages&PortalPath %2Fshared%2FUser%20Account%2F_portal%2FUser%20Settings','passwordresetwindow' ,'toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no,location=no,

Update the following file to add the resource id /apps/applobi/OBIEE11g/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/web/msgdb/common/saw.header.xml For this file, add the following line: <resource id="kmsgHeaderCustomURL" />

The next file will not exist out of the box, and needs to be created, along with any folders along the way. /apps/applobi/OBIEE11g/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/core application_obips1/msgdb/l_en/customMessages/uicmsgs/saw.header.xml For this file, you will be creating it, so make the contents:
