If you want to configure IBM®
Cognos® Analytics for
authenticated logon only, you need to disable anonymous access to the application.
By default, IBM Cognos components
do not require user authentication. Users can log on anonymously.
Procedure
-
On each computer where Content Manager is installed, start IBM
Cognos Configuration.
- In the Explorer window, under Security > Authentication,
click Cognos.
The Cognos namespace stores information about IBM
Cognos groups and roles, contacts, and distribution lists,
and so on, and references to objects in other security namespaces.
- In the Properties window, click
the box next to the Allow anonymous access property
and then select False.
- From the File menu, click Save.
Results
Now, you must configure a namespace so that users are required to provide logon credentials when
they access IBM
Cognos Analytics.
