I am setting up Cognos BI 10.1.1 on a RHEL 5 linux OS and am unable to properly configure an Active Directory namespace. The rest of the configuration is working properly, I know this because if I enable "Allow anonymous access" I am able to log in and use Cognos. Also when looking in the "Security" section of Cognos Admin, I only see the "Cognos" namespace, I do not see the AD namespace I have configured.
My xml for the namespace can be found below. I know this code works as I have used it in a different environment (windows based) with success.
Error message = "AAA-AUT-0013 The user is already authenticated in all available namespaces."
Am I missing something in this configuration? Are there differences in the configuration XML between Linux/Apache and Windows/IIS? Are there any special considerations needing to be configured in a Linux/Apache work to get the AD connection working?
Thanks in advance for any help.
