Title: Create user from command line
Post by: fcapell on 17 Sep 2014 02:34:09 PM
Hi everyone,

I'm sorry if this is way too newbie, but I couldn't find anything about it.

Cognos Express Manager provides an interface to create users.

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-FX0SO_N_5SE/VBnfhrmqehI/AAAAAAAAAWk/snB5MsbLCDs/s0-U-I/cognos_express_manager_users.jpg)

Is there a way to do this from command line?

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Fausto

No there is no supported way to create users in CX from the command line. CX uses an informix DB and the tool you provided a screenshot of is the front end to it and creating users. If you want something along those lines you will need to purchase Full on Cognos BI which allows you to use an actual LDAP (Including Active Directory) provider for users.
