Follow these steps to configure IBM® Cognos® TM1® Web to use IBM Cognos authentication security.
Before you begin
Note: If you applied a Cognos Business Intelligence (BI) updater kit to your BI installation,
you might need to make specific updates to the tm1web.html file.
The tm1web.html file supports Cognos TM1 Web to use IBM Cognos authentication
security. However, it does not get updated when you apply a Cognos BI updater kit. Instead,
an updated file that is called tm1web.html.new is placed in the same Cognos BI ...\webcontent\tm1\web directory as the
original file. Use the newer version of tm1web.html and update it with any changes you made in the original tm1web.html file.
About this task
These steps include editing configuration files on your Cognos TM1 Web system and copying them over to your Cognos Business Intelligence
