Configuring additional settings for Unica Platform

When Unica Platform is integrated with an LDAP server, Windows™ Active Directory, or a web access control system such as Tivoli® or Site Minder, you must configure additional settings.

About this task

To configure additional settings for Unica Platform, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. In Cognos® Configuration, set the flag Selectable for authentication to false for the Unica® authentication namespace.

    When you set this flag to false, Cognos® Connection and Cognos® Administration cannot access the Unica® namespace for authentication. However, Unica applications can still access the Unica® namespace through the Cognos® SDK API (for example, when users view Cognos® reports from within Unica applications).

  2. If you need authenticated access to the Cognos® URL, complete the following steps:
    1. In Cognos® Configuration, configure a namespace by using the appropriate bundled authentication provider.
    2. Set Selectable for authentication to true.
    3. Use this new namespace for the Cognos® URL.
