Title: Managing Signons
Post by: amyhu on 03 Oct 2011 01:51:17 PM
Is anyone aware of a centralized way of managing Signons? We use the same userid and password across many database servers. When we have to change the password (once a year) for the userid, I'd like to do it the easiest way possible and not have to go into each and every signon.

Can it be done in Cognos Administration? BSP MetaManager? Direct update to the back end content store database?

Many thanks in advance,
Amy

How many Sign-Ons are we talking about here ?
If its a few , I would do it manually...if there is in house expertise with SDK, Its always the best route...tools like those provided by BSP normally comes with a much bigger offering that your current need - so worth checking the Financials if All you need is this particular capability
