Wanted to understand security wrt Active reports. Waht kind of security can you place on active reports? What are the gaps from the security perspective

Are their any security concerns with Active reports. In the end they are just mht files with a lot of data. It could be broken in quite easily.

You can apply password protection to active reports, but once you deliver them outside the Cognos 10 environment, that's pretty much the extent of the security. The gaps are that they are open to someone hacking the password and gaining access. You will need to consider carefully who gets access to the mht files and how they distribute them.

Cheers!
