Title: Using Cognos from two different Domains
Post by: pargol4 on 11 May 2016 02:42:58 PM
We are running Cognos on Websphere, and would like to use the same Cognos instance for two separate domains. Would we be able to have one Dispatcher configured as domain1.com and another Dispatcher configured as Domain2.us but have them using the same Content Manager? We would also like to use the same Active Directory for security.

From a very high level, we want the URLs in the browser to reflect the proper domain.  cognos.domain1.com or cognos.domain2.us.

Hi,

You should be able to do this with two web servers, each with its own gateway pointing to the same dispatcher?

I think you could also use a reverse proxy that resolves and rewrites the two URLs to the same web server(s).
