Title: setting up security in cognos8 using sun one directory server
Post by: get2mogs on 17 Jul 2007 07:03:49 AM
hi all,

i need help in setting up security in cognos8 using sun one  directory server.

Security using the directory server will be defined using the access manager.
So I need to create a namespace using series 7 authentication.
Access Manager batch maintainence feature will be used to connect to Oracle table & pull the user names/passwords into the system.

Now is there any way in which the access manager can pick up these from the oracle table directly???

Access Manager Batch Maintenance only uses ASCII files.

You can use Access Manager Automation Objects with Visual Basic for applications or VBscript to write code to connect to oracle data and get the user names and write then in the namespace.

  Check Acess Manager Macro reference Guide for further information.
