Map IBM Controller Users to IBM Cognos Users
When you use the IBM® Cognos® authentication method, you must create an association between the users defined in the IBM Controller application and those defined in the Cognos namespace roles.
IBM Controller supports logons to only one namespace.
Before you begin
Important: The first user who logs on to IBM
Controller using IBM
Cognos Authentication is automatically mapped to the IBM Controller Administrative User, the named user defined by
default in Controller. Associations between users can be created only by a user who was configured
in IBM
Cognos Connection as a member of the Controller
Administrators role. It is important, therefore, that the first user who logs on was configured to
be a member of the Controller Administrators role. Otherwise, the automatic mapping to the IBM Controller Administrative User will not occur and the
user's logon will fail.
For more information about setting user rights and limitations in IBM Controller, see Using Controller.
