Title: Valid domains or hosts
Post by: dougp on 14 Jun 2022 11:26:17 AM
I started with Cognos 10.  In order to allow a user to follow a URL that is in the Cognos UI (now also an embedded web page in a dashboard), I had to add the domain to Cognos Configuration | Security | IBM Cognos Application Firewall, then stop and start the Cognos service, which takes about 15 minutes (downtime).

Now I'm trying out 11.2.2.  Is updating Cognos Configuration and a reboot still the only way to manage this?  Is there not a setting in the online administration tools to enable me to edit this setting?

As far as I'm aware, adding the domain to the CAF configuration is still the way to do this.
