Disabling certificate checking for IBM Controller

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

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

If it is not possible to provide internet access to the 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, Controller, and Microsoft ASP.NET.

Perform the next steps to disable the certificate checking for Controller.

Before you begin

The following procedure assumes that you start Controller from a local hard disk. For example, from C:\Program Files\Cognos\ccr\ccr.exe.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the system that runs the Controller client.
  2. In a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad, open the ccr.exe.config file that is in a location such as: C:\Program Files\IBM\IBM Controller or C:\Program Files\Cognos\ccr.
  3. In the file add the line <generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false"/> before the </configuration> tag as follows: 
    <configuration> 
<runtime> 
<generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false"/> 
</runtime> 
</configuration>
  4. Save and close the file.
