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.

Procedure

  1. On the IBM Planning Analytics tab, click Options options icon.
  2. In the navigation pane, click IBM.
  3. Under Authentication, select the Enable forms based authentication check box.
  4. Click OK.
