Release Summary

  • Security updates for Data Warehouse Report Server (DWRS) authorized user accounts. User action required.

  • New (CCCTC) identity management system was deployed supporting DWRS authorized accounts.

 

Security Updates for DWRS User Accounts

Security enhancements were implemented for Data Warehouse Report Server (DWRS) access, supporting single sign-on authentication (SSO) for colleges and districts via their institution identity provider systems, and additional security for non-SSO users via multi-factor authentication. All existing user accounts have been migrated to a new secure identity management system; however all users will need to take one or more, one-time actions to re-authenticate their existing account access.

 

Important Changes for DWRS Users

With the security updates deployed in this release, changes were made to the way authorized users authenticate to the DWRS.

College & District Users (SSO)

College and district users will now use a unique custom URL (configured to their institution’s MIS code) to access the Data Warehouse Report Server (DWRS), allowing single sign-on authentication using their own college or district’s IdP credentials. Other than the URL change, no other changes were made for this type of user account (SSO User) during the new account setup process as documented in the DWRS User Guide.

Notice: Action Required for Existing College & District Users (SSO users) - New URL

If you are currently an authorized user for the Data Warehouse Report Server you should use the new custom URL configured to your unique IdP. Find your URL here: Data Warehouse Report Server URLs for Colleges & Districts.

If you encounter any issues with your custom Data Warehouse Report Server URL - or with single sign-on authentication using your existing credentials, please contact a CCCTC Support representative at staffsupportccctc@openccc.zendesk.com.

 

Chancellor’s Office & Other External Stakeholders (Non-SSO):

Direct access user accounts (not authenticating through a college or district IdP) will continue to access the DWRS using two-factor authentication (2FA) with an account created by the CCCTC Enabling Services implementation team. The new URL for direct access is:
https://dw-reports.ccctechcenter.org/jasperserver-pro/login.html.

Notice: Action Required for Existing Direct Users (Non-SSO) - New URL & Update Process

Following the security updates made in this release, the DWRS has a new URL for direct access users, including CCCCO, CVC/OEI, and other external users. In addition, existing account holders will be required to reset their passwords and repeat the account verification process the first time they attempt to sign in to the Report Server following this production release.

This simple one-time update is detailed here: DWRS User Account Update.
Additional information and FAQs are also provided for your reference.
