Title: Problem with opening CTB application threw WebSEAL
Post by: marekvich on 24 Aug 2009 08:17:15 AM
Hi,
we have environment like here (see the scheme on last picture):
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/c8fpm/v8r4m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.swg.im.cognos.cp_inst_cr_winux.8.4.0.doc/cp_inst_cr_winux_id732InstallingCognos8PlanningwithCogn.html
and we use WebSEAL as component between clients and server.

The problem is when trying to open Contributor application - the application is not retrieved correctly and some errors occur.

When I access to server directly without using Webseal, everything works correctly.

Does anyone know the reason of this behavior?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Can you expand a little more on WebSEAL?
From my understanding it looks like a tool that is used to be a provider of cross-domain authentication right?

In terms of the Cognos 8 architecture the only cross-ldap authentication method supported will be by using access manager.

However if you can give me some insight on the setup, I may be able to help
