User authorization for Cognos folders and reports
A Custom Java Authentication Provider (CJAP) provides authorization for users accessing Cognos report folders and reports. You can implement this feature after you implement the IBM® EMM Authentication Provider, which provides single sign-on authentication between IBM EMM applications and Cognos.
Removing the CJAP implementation from your environment
Follow this procedure if you implement CJAP security and later decide to roll back your environment to use only the IBM® EMM Authentication Provider.

Removing the CJAP implementation from your environment

Follow this procedure if you implement CJAP security and later decide to roll back your environment to use only the IBM® EMM Authentication Provider.

Procedure

Reverse the following steps that you performed to implement CJAP.
1. Restore the reportSecurityConfig.properties file from your backup and click Settings > Sync Report Folder Permissions in the IBM EMM user interface to synchronize the property file.
2. Add the Cognos Administrators role to the Everyone group in the Cognos namespace.
  When you configured CJAP, you removed this role from the Everyone group in the Cognos namespace. You must add it back or Cognos will have no users with administrator permissions. If that occurs, you must set up a new content data store database, or restore the content store from the backup database.
Stop and restart the Cognos service.
