TM1 - C8 Security - Reports

Post by Toto »

Hello,
our client has Cognos 8 and starts with TM1 now. Later the TM1 cube should be used within C8-Reports. What would you think is the best way to implement security. Using C8-security within TM1 or using LDAP directly when C8 uses LDAP?
What are the pros & cons?
Are there any known issues when developing C8-reports with TM1-cubes using C8-security?

Thanks a lot,

Toto

Hi Toto
Which version of Cognos 8? if 8.4.1 - you can use CAM security in TM1. Cognos 8 should also be able to authenticate the other way.
Unfortunately you need to recreate the Cognos user groups in TM1.
