Troubleshooting
Problem
Signon using Google OAuth2 namespace support is partially added to Cognos Analytics 11.2.2. However, this support does not extend to all legacy client applications that may be used within 11.2.2 environments. Google OAuth2 logon is restricted by Google policy, as described in these articles:
- Upcoming security changes to Google's OAuth 2.0 authorization endpoint in embedded webviews (https://developers.googleblog.com/2021/06/upcoming-security-changes-to-googles-oauth-2.0-authorization-endpoint.html?m=1)
- [UPDATE] Google Auth Flows and WebView2 (https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/1647)
For example, in Framework Manager, logon requests are issued within embedded browsers (webviews). This authentication method does not meet Google OAuth2 policy requirements. Framework Manager support for Google OAuth2 logon is being developed for future releases.
