Post by: KingKog on 11 Dec 2009 12:50:38 AM
Hi All,

I have installed cognos 8.4,

My OS is Unix.

When i am trying to add groups to existing default namespace, In configaration i am unable to find Authentication under security.
I am struck here.

Can anybody guide me in this issue.

Best Regards,
KINGKOG.

If you have two different namespaces...you need to sign on to both. If you are already signed onto one namespace you can click logon again (at the top of congos connection), and see that it will give you an additional option to logon to the additional namespace. That's suspecting that that within your congnos configuraton you allowed more than one namespance to be shown (Namespace Override) and that you have READ rights to both. Additionallly, If you wanted a department to be able to use Cognos reports rights, then you could take the already created group policy within Active directory and add it to the cognos group policy. Hope this helps or at leats aims at what  you were looking for.
