Configure CAS Authentication with 64-bit Cognos

[santoshtalks]

Hi,

We have a  requirement to use CAS authentication with Cognos. I checked some sites and found we cannot configure
a Netegrity SiteMinder namespace in Configuration as a Authentication type with 64 bit Cognos install.

Has anyone else tried this before. Any pointers to documents or KRAs would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Santosh.

I was finally able to configure cognos with CAS authentication.
Steps followed:
1. Copied the CAS certificate and installed it on cognos server using JAVA keytool exe
2. Copied CAS jar file to D:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\c10_64\webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF\lib
3. Modified web.xml under D:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\c10_64\webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF to add the CAS filter settings.
The url-pattern for filter-mapping should be:
<url-pattern>/servlet/dispatch/ext/*</url-pattern>
4. Restarted Cognos service.
5. Now when you hit Cognos URL, you should be directed to CAS login page.

Hi,

I am trying to CASify a Cognos 10.2 installation. I've followed the steps you outlined here, but when I start the Cognos services and hit the server I get a 404 error from Apache that says, "The requested URL /p2pd/servlet/dispatch/ext was not found on this server."

Any help you could give in resolving this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark
