Title: Cognos 11 Prevent Dispatcher URL Login
Post by: fry on 12 Apr 2017 07:49:36 AM
Hello

I have tricky one. Have a single server windows install with custom login page with two factor authentication against Entrust.

Custom URL working fine http://severname:9300/Cognos_2FA

issue is people can still access login page with no two factor authentication using WEbsphere dispatcher gateway http://Servername:9300/bi/v1/disp.

Any idea how to prevent this access ??

Thanks

Did you ever find a solution to this?

Hi there, my first question would be .. "how would your users even know that URL?
I URL tamper all the time, but it would literally take a month of sundays to get to that URL from the main portal login.

preventing them from accessing the disp address may cause more problems since this address is part of the structure flow.
