How To
Summary
Two Namespace NS1 and NS2 have been configured against two Authentication Provider (LDAP and Active Directory)
Cognos Analytics Gateway is not configured.
Is it possible to have the NS1 namespace automatically selected when Users access Cognos portal and still users are able to login to NS2 namespace from the other web session ?
Steps
1) Open Cognos Configuration (Right click and choose 'Run As Administrator')
2) Expand security-> Authentication and click on the Advanced Properties section on the right hand side.
3) Under name add defaultNamespace and under Value put Namespace ID for NS1 namespace
Say , the Namespace ID for NS1 is NS_1 then the entry should look like :
defaultNamespace NS_1
4) Click ok , save the configuration and restart the service
5) Provide the NS2 namespace users with the following url to access Cognos portal :
http://<FQDN or IP of Cognos Analytics machine>:<port_number>/bi/?CAMName
Say , Namespace ID for NS2 namespace is NS_2 , FQDN is COGNOS and port number is 9300 then the url will look like :
http://COGNOS:9300/bi/?CAMName
Note: Namespace ID is case-sensitive.
