IBM Secure Gateway (On-Demand only)
Use IBM Secure Gateway to maintain an encrypted connection between an on-premises Secure
Gateway Client and the Secure Gateway Servers that IBM maintains on Cloud. This allows you to use
IBM Cognos Analytics on Cloud On-Demand to securely consume your on-premises data.
Secure Gateway at a glance
First, you install the Secure Gateway Client in your on-premises network and configure an
encrypted (TLS v1.2) bi-directional connection with the on Cloud Secure Gateway server. Next, you
establish a secure connection between the Secure Gateway Client and an on-premises database. This
on-premise database is called the destination database
. Your on-premises data can then be
securely accessed and manipulated by Cognos Analytics on Cloud On-Demand.
Note: IBM Secure Gateway is only available for use with Cognos Analytics on Cloud On-Demand. IBM
Secure Gateway is not supported for Cognos Analytics on Cloud Hosted users. For more information,
see Tenant administration.
