Title: how to login to cognos by different name than server name
Post by: DW@infar.com.pl on 27 Jan 2016 06:17:54 AM
I have a problem, namely after the installation of Cognos address entered in the browser to "http: // server_name: 9300 / ibmcognos ...." I would like to login done with another address without changing the name of the server (such as an alias), for example, when you type "http: // iWantToLOGIN: 9300 / ibmocognos .. "user had access to the portal. How to do it ?

best wishes,

You can simply use the alias in Cognos Configuration in place of server name. Example gateway URI would be like http://alias:80/ibmcognos/cgi-bin/cognosisapi.dll. Your DNS A/CNAME record for "alias" would point to the server
