Troubleshooting
Problem
Customer uses the Controller feature "FAP" to publish data to a TM1 cube. They would like to use Cognos BI (CAM) authentication, and reduce the workload by automatically creating TM1 users. How can they achieve this?
Symptom
In previous versions of Controller (version 10.1 IF6/10.1.384 and earlier) the following is true:
- If Controller is configured to use "native" security (e.g. logon as ADM etc.) then TM1 user creation via FAP is automatic
- If Controller is configured to use "CAM" (Cognos 8 / BI) security (e.g. logon as active directory user etc.) then TM1 user creation via FAP is manual
- In other words, see separate IBM Technote #1460537.
However, in later versions of Controller, it is possible to automate the TM1 CAM user creation process.
