Title: Session Parameters
Post by: cognostechie on 21 Apr 2011 05:45:58 PM
I know we can add certain session parameters in FM but where do the existing ones (user name, e-mail etc) pop-up from? My understanding is that they are read from the security provider (Active Directory etc).

If so, does anybody know how they are fed into the security provider and how does cognos assign them a parameter name and value? It seems to start from the word 'account'

If we add in FM, is there a way to give it a dynamic value (other than to point it to a Parameter Map).
