Configuring the gateway and web server to use specific namespaces

You can configure IBM® Cognos® Analytics to use the gateway namespace with all supported web servers, or configure a specific namespace for each web server.

Based on your configuration requirement, you can configure the namespaces in the following way:

• Specify the gateway namespace in IBM Cognos Configuration.

  This option can be used for namespaces that are configured for single sign-on (SSO), and applies to all supported web servers. For more information, see Configuring a gateway namespace.

• Add an HTTP header to the web server configuration.

  This option can be used for namespaces that are or aren’t configured for single sign-on. The configuration steps are different for each web server. For more information, see Configuring a namespace to use with IIS, and Configuring a namespace to use with Apache or IBM HTTP server.
