Configuring Publish

The Pentaho BI Platform provides the ability to have content from Pentaho client tools published onto the Pentaho server.   In order to allow the client tools (Report Design Wizard, Cube Design Wizard, etc) to publish to the server, a "Publish Password" must be configured in the Pentaho BI Platform.  This is a security measure put in place to prevent malicious content from being published onto the Pentaho server.

To set the publish password, edit the publisher_config.xml file.  The default path is:  /pentaho-demo/pentaho-solutions/system/publisher_config.xml

Define the password by entering it inside the following node:

<publisher-password>your_password</publisher-password>

In addition to setting the publish password, it appears necessary to input a valid Server ID and Password (i.e. joe/*******).

Under PCI pentaho-1.6.0GA, the congi file path is:

\bi-server\pentaho-solutions\system\publisher_config.xml

When publishing on a PCI install, user 'joe' password is 'password'.
