Administrator considerations when using Cognos authentication
IBM® Cognos® TM1® administrators
should be aware of the some issues when configuring the Cognos TM1 server to
use IBM Cognos authentication.
The issues are as follows:
- Review the description of Cognos TM1 security modes 4 and 5 for the IntegratedSecurityMode parameter. You should understand how these different modes control whether or not Cognos users can belong to Cognos TM1 user groups. For details, see the description of the IntegratedSecurityMode parameter in the IBM Cognos TM1 Operation Guide.
- You cannot use Cognos TM1 to permanently assign a Cognos user to another Cognos group. Any user assignment you make in Cognos TM1 to a Cognos group is not saved back to Cognos. When a Cognos user logs in to Cognos TM1 , the group assignments in Cognos override any Cognos group assignments made in Cognos TM1 .
- If you rename a Cognos user after importing that user to Cognos TM1 , you must then delete the user in Cognos TM1 in order to update Cognos TM1 with the new user name. After deleting the user in Cognos TM1 , the new name will appear the next time the user logs in.
