OKTA namespace sets wrong Content Language in Cognos

Troubleshooting


Problem

CountryCode (User field from Okta) is being used for Content Language setting on Cognos. Environment has been setup as per this document: https://www.ibm.com/communities/analytics/cognos-analytics-blog/adminis…

Symptom

The issue is for example Cognos is reading AR as language Arabic, instead of AR for country Argentina.
Another problem is that the users cannot manually change the Content Language on their profile in Cognos. Everytime they login back, the language is set back to Arabic. Same thing with users in Panama (country code PA) have their content language set to Punjabi. It should be Spanish.
