Java Custom Authenticator Namespace problem

[leparduk]

Hi All,

First post so be kind  

I am trying to use the java custom authenticator with Cognos Reportnet 1.1 MR2. I believe I have it installed correctly, I can login with the custom namespace with the user I have created, but the problem comes with allocating permission. When I view the namespaces list with my ntlm login I can see the custom namespace but not any of the users within it, nor can I therefore allocate any permissions to them. Am I missing something obvious or is this not what is expected?

Hopeless java programmer.

Hello

First lets cover the basics.

Did you check the box 'show users in the list' in the ReportNet portal.

First of all thanks for replying and sorry if I starting originally in the wrong forum.

ok - I am definately a n00b at this but there is no  'show users in the list' checkbox visible.

I have the following in my directory list

    Cognos  05 December 2005 15:24:01     More...
 
     Custom  05 December 2005 16:16:07     More...
 
     NTLDS  05 December 2005 15:24:01     More...
 
Custom is alone in not being a clickable link. All the others are clickable and have contents. The Custom has no entries even when I go to 'more' and 'View Namespace Contents'.

I have read more documentation since my original post and it sounds like I need to implement additional interfaces in the Sample code as provided before this will work. Does this make sense?

Hello

You will see the check box when you attempt to add members to a role (a.k.a user class).

However if you are not even seeing your namespace then you may have a different issue. Also, did you enter the namespace id of your Custom Java Provider in the gateway namespace property.

Leparduk,

You have to log into a namespace in order to access it and for ReportNet to determine what permissions you may have for that namespace. While you are logged into the NTLM namespace click on Log on and log into your custom namespace. Then you should be able to access it just like your NTLM namespace.
