Error 404 trying to access a saved report

[RubenvdLinden]

I have a new Cognos 10.1.1 installation (64 bit, 32 bit reporting server) on IIS (Windows 2008R2, ISAPI). The url is http://cognos10bi/ibmcognos

If I try to access a saved report from Cognos Connection, I get error 404 - File not found.
However, if I turn off the Cognos Application Firewall, it works fine.

I tried replacing all the 'localhost' references in Cognos Configuration with 'cognos10bi', but the error persists whenever Cognos Application Firewall is activated.

The 'Valid domains or hosts' list is empty and should probably be configured, but simply adding 'cognos10bi', 'cognos10bi:80' or 'http://cognos10bi:80/ibmcognos' doesn't work.
How do I correctly configure Cognos Application Firewall to allow access to saved reports?

Hi,

You don't indicate what domain you are operating within. If you worked for IBM, for example, you could add *.IBM.com to your CAF domains list to allow access for all machines within the domain. Might be worth giving it a try with your own corporate domain?

Cheers!

MF.

Thanks for your reply.

I tried adding *.zorgcirkel.local and rubenxp (which is the hostname of my development PC), but the error persists.

On our production Cognos 8.4 server (Windows 2003/IIS, CGI instead of ISAPI) the CAF is also enabled, but without the "whitelist" and without the 404 problem. I'm puzzled by this problem!

Adding 'allowPathInfo="true"' to the IIS applicationHost.xml seems to have fixed the problem.
