ibmcognos.authentication

This parameter is used to configure data source connections when using Kerberos authentication.

For the different data source connection types, specify ibmcognos.authentication=java_krb5, and then add the properties that are required by the JDBC driver for Kerberos authentication, if they are required. The following examples show how to specify this parameter for some data source connections:

  • For Teradata connections, specify ibmcognos.authentication=java_krb5;LOGMECH=KRB5;
  • For SAP-HANA connections, specify ibmcognos.authentication=java_krb5;
  • For Microsoft SQL Server connections, specify ibmcognos.authentication=java_krb5;authenticationScheme=JavaKerberos;
