Securing BIRT reports in Web App
<p>What is the recommended way to secure BIRT reports once they have been integrated with a web app? My requirement is that application Users have Single Signon so they don't have to reenter logon information whenever they need to run a report.</p>
<p>Secondly how big an effort is this to deploy?</p>

<p>Open Source BIRT provides no security, and you'll need to implement your own.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Commercial BIRT (the Information Hub or iHub) provides security, scalability, and many more features that are not available in Open Source BIRT implementations.
