How To


Summary

This HOW TO details how to enable Third-Party certificate authority in Cognos Analytics 11.1 and 11.2 when you are using a pre-existing certificate and private key pair. This process covers situations where the deployment requires the use of a corporate wildcard certificate. It also applies where an internal certificate authority issues a certificate outside of the documented method where Certificate Signing Requests are created with ThirdPartyCertificateTool.
