If you're using an SSO (without MFA) in the OBIEE, OAC, OAS, OTBI, the BI Connector team may request a HAR file to develop a custom SSO for BI Connector.
Note - If your Oracle BI has an authentication that involves an SSO with MFA, the HAR file wouldn't help replicate the custom SSO. Instead, you can create and use a Service Account for the Oracle BI to get the authentication work on the BI Connector. The Oracle Fusion, and Oracle Cloud account users must additionally have the Chooser Login also enabled, in order to get the Service Account work on the BI Connector.
The HAR file is required to understand how your SSO works and build the same setup within BI Connector to help you seamlessly access your OBIEE account.
Before proceeding further, please note that a HAR file will save the sensitive information such as your OBIEE username and password. The HAR file will be used only for developing the custom SSO in BI Connector. We generally recommend using a test account (which also uses the same SSO you need in BI Connector) when generating the HAR file. An alternative way is to change your SSO password after generating the HAR file. In all cases, the information is protected by BI Connector's privacy policy.
