Disabling certificate checking for Cognos Controller

When the IBM® Cognos® Controller 10.1 client does not have internet access, Cognos Controller runs slow.

The solution for this problem is to provide internet access to the Cognos Controller client.

If it is not possible to provide internet access to the Cognos Controller client, then disable the checking of the .NET certificate for all applications.

If it is not possible to disable the checking of the .NET certificate for all applications, then disable the checking of the certificate for Microsoft Excel, Cognos Controller, and Microsoft ASP.NET.
