Hello,
We normally use Azure SSO for user login in Cognos.
To free up some licenses, we wanted users to be able to log in using ADS authentication instead.
I set "Selectable for authentication" = True for the ADS namespace and tried logging in with ADS, but the login keeps failing.
During testing, I noticed something odd:
When Cognos prompts for the user ID and uses the saved password, the login fails.
If I enter the same user ID but retype the password (not using the saved one), the test works.
So it looks like the stored/saved password for ADS is invalid, even though the password itself is correct.
This behavior is consistent every time I test.
Has anyone else seen this when switching from SSO to ADS, or know why Cognos rejects the saved credentials but accepts the manually entered ones?
Thanks!
I use Active Directory on prem, even though we have Azure Active Directory.
I'm sorry, but I'm not up on my acronyms. What specifically is "ADS"? Unfortunately, when I search the web for ADS is get ads (advertisements). Not something I typically need to search for deliberately. I get plenty already.
