Hi All,
For those of you who are using Cognos 8 with an Enterprise LDAP did you set the property wt.cognos.explicitNamespace.enabled to allow Windchill to pass the namespace to Cognos when running a report? If so I would very much like some help. Here's where I am:
1. Our EnterpriseLDAP is Microsoft Active Directory.
2. I added the EnterpriseLDAP namespace in the Cognos Configuration tool as an LDAP resource (not an AD resource).
a. Also added the custom properties "baseDN" and "wtLookupPriority".
3. I modified Apache to recognize the EnterpriseLDAP namespace for Cognos.
4. I added the following site.xconf properties.
<property name="wt.cognos.explicitNamespace.enabled" overridable="true"<br"/> targetFile="db/db.properties"
value="true"/>
<property name="wt.cognos.startup.location" overridable="true"<br"/> targetFile="db/db.properties"
value="($wt.cognos.home)\configuration\cogstartup.xml"/>
I believe I have done everything that the documentation says to do but the namespace still isn't being recognized by Cognos. When the user executes a report he is presented with a Cognos namespace dropdown. Once the namespace is chosen the report executes properly.
Alternatively I can force the namespace through the Cognos Configuration tool but this prevents the "wbrAdministrator" (AdministrativeLDAP) from logging in. Does anyone have any suggestions?
