Title: How to add your active directory account after initial install?
Post by: njcube on 24 Sep 2021 11:49:46 AM
I have migrated to different versions of Cognos for many years but I usually either do a deployment of our current system, or I copy our content store over with all the established active directory user accounts.

This time, I don't want to bring over the old content just yet.  I want to grant my active directory account access so I can see that I can access newly installed version.  If i set authentication to anonymous in Cognos Configuration,  Once in the portal, I dont have access to the active directory namespace that i have set up in Cognos Configuration (it appears inactive).  If I disable anonymous,  I get a user name and password to access the portal.  Since our active directory is CAC card/certificate driven, we have no user name or passwords. 

Any help would be appreciated.

After logging in anonymously, did you try the login or sign in button under your profile?
