sample Custom Authentication Provider for Oracle

[pikachu]

Hi,

I need to write a Custom Authentication Provider for Cognos that gets its user information from Oracle. Does anyone have a sample code for me to get started on? Would appreciate any help greatly. Thanks.

The SDK has one. It is not ORACLE specific, I think, but it is a good start. There is also a comapny down in Texas, USA, which sells/develops custom security providers for Cognos. They are a bunch of good guys with excellent JAVA skills. If you are coming to Forum, stop by at my booth and we can talk.

Thanks for your reply. Is the SDK a seperate install component? I've installed ReportNet MR3 but I dun find any examples in the SDK directory. :-(

Yes, the SDK is a separate product with considerable cost.
