Troubleshooting
Problem
Customer would like their end users to logon to Controller by using their Windows (domain / active directory) username and password.
- How can they achieve this?
NOTE: This Technote only relates to when using Cognos BI as the authentication mechanism.
- If using Cognos Analytics, then see separate IBM Technote #302865
- If using Windows Authentication (direct) then see separate IBM Technote #6209654.
Symptom
Cognos Controller can use the following 3 different types of security logon authentication methods:
1. Native
2. CAM (also known as 'Cognos')
3. Widows (direct) - This is a new feature from Controller 10.4.2 onwards - see separate IBM Technote #6209654.
