Hi All!
am new in this forum and i wish you help me with this issue.
I try to connect the source data with framework manager but when i connected i got this error QE-DEF-0368 Unable to decrypt user name and password credentials from the content store.
I found a solution from IBM support said;
. Close Framework Manager and stop any Cognos ReportNet or BI Server service on the laptop.
2. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to <install location>\crn\configuration directory.
3. Delete these three folders: csk, encryptkeypair, signkeypair.
4. Open Cognos Configuration, input the configuration of the target server, and click Save.
5. Start Cognos ReportNet or BI Server service and retry connecting with Framework Manager.
So i deleted the CSK folder and other but now cognos configuration is not working anymore
its show me this error when i tried to start the server, it said " Problems were encountered during validation.CAM-CRP-1064 Unable to process the PKCS #7 data because of an internal error. Unable to find the common symmetric key with alias 'V3QvVBkAdUwT92kC6LNeVbsGsyk=' in the keystore 'C:/Program Files/ibm/cognos/c10_64/configuration/csk\jCSKKeystore'.

I can't restore the folder because i delete them and it is not appear in the recycle! Also, i didn't create a backup to restore it!! Please help me i really don't know what to do to make cognos working again
thanks a lot in advance
Hi,
Rename cogstartup.xml to something different, then launch Cognos Configuration. This will generate a new, blank config. Re-enter all your environment URIs and configure your content store connection and authentication provider / email server as before. When you press save and start it should then regenerate your cryptographic keys.
