Version of Access Manager dosen't matter. I Cognos Configuration, just right click on Authentication, New Resource , Namespace, then type a name for it (for example Cognos Series 7 (Acc Mgr) and the choose Cognos Series 7 in the drop down list. Then input the parameters of your directory server and namespace

Thanks verymuch,

  But when I trying to configure Access manager with Active Directory services it is asking some parameters. I don't know which parameters and namespace I have to provide there.

  My system name sarayu.

You can get those settings from Access Manager; Open Access Manager administration, right click on your namespace and the select properties.

Namespace name and namespace id are typically "default", host and port is the name of your directory server and port.

The name of your server is impossible to know for me but port is usually 389 so xxxx:389

Base Distinguished Name is typically o=cognos, c=ca but don't take it for granted

But as I said you can get all these settings from access manager
