When a password is defined at the root node of a cube group, the same password applies to all cubes in the group. However, a password defined for a member of a cube group overrides the password defined at the root level for the group by changing the Password property for that individual child cube within the group. Note that the DataSource signon is imported with .iqd files or when a data source is configured to prompt for a password.
To use IBM Cognos to authenticate to an external namespace, the signon object must be configured with the userID, password, and associated namespace. A signon object must be created first.
For a Signon object, the Password property specifies the password required to automatically access a database. This access also requires that the UserID property is set.
Auto-logon to a database can be setup by storing the password in the signon object as well as the logical database name.
A COM exception is thrown in error situations. The message that is passed with the exception varies depending on the error situation.
