Setting up forms-based user authentication

Forms-based authentication is not supported for connections to IBM® Planning Analytics servers, it is only supported for connections to IBM Cognos® Analytics servers.

If your company uses Web-based access management software, such as SiteMinder, to provide single signon in your security infrastructure, you must enable forms-based authentication. The forms-based authentication service allows you to enter your credentials, such as your user name and password, through a form on a Web page. If the credentials are valid, you are logged on to the site. The credentials persist until you explicitly log off.
