We run our Cognos analytics machines behind a load balancer, but a pentest conducted recently shows the login page being served up over HTTP/port 80. Is there a way within Cognos to disable the login page being served over HTTP and instead only served over HTTPS? Normally, our load balancer has taken care of this for us by redirecting HTTP requests for the /bi/? endpoint to HTTPS, but the pentesters had access behind the load balancer and insist that the login page must not be accessible over HTTP.

We are using Cognos 11.1.7 FP4 IF8

I remember first seeing it in pre-release builds of ReportNet around 2001-2002. The product was codenamed CR1 at that point :-)

There is an updated UI for backups and restores in the Manage part of the CA Glass UI, but currently it only does full exports/imports. I imagine in the fullness of time, IBM will extend it to provide the same capabilities as the Admin Console. It is in their roadmap to retire the Admin Console at some point.

Cheers!

Quote from: khanna100 on 14 Nov 2024 11:03:43 AMHow to import the schedule in disabled status? or is it possible?

When you are importing a selective backup, the import wizard has an option you can check "Disable after import", which prevents the entries and their contents from being available for access by users until the administrator has tested them and manually made them available. My guess is that the schedules would also be disabled, but I have no way of checking at the moment - I don't have access to a Cognos instance.

Yes, I do know that. The import/export method has not changed in 10 years though.

As MFGF stated, it comes across with the content that is scheduled, but...

Do you know you are responding to a 10-year-old thread?  Are you still using Cognos 8?

How to import the schedule in disabled status? or is it possible?

Quote from: jbarberio on 13 Nov 2024 02:56:05 PMI'm encountering an issue where rows in my crosstab with crosstab spaces for headers are being suppressed after I apply conditional styling to one of my columns (I'm optionally showing/hiding a column by setting it's box type to "none" based on a prompt selection). The suppression properly ignores the spaces when the styling hasn't been applied. Has anyone encountered this and know of a work-around?

I'm not sure if there's a more elegant solution, but I ended up just creating a string data item with a single space in its definition to use for all of these header rows. so the process just considers their values non-null/empty despite looking blank for the end user. That's working well enough for me. Figured I'd share in case someone else reads this and needs a solution.

I'm using the one that ships with Cognos.  No idea what happened, but I have moved on.  I had to completely nuke Cognos and start over.  But, as-of today, I have 12.0.4 running and have verified a well-documented upgrade process.  Moving on to testing...
