Adding user in Tm1

[winsonlee]

Currently I am using Cognos Express 9.5. I changed my tm1s.cfg settings to IntegratedSecurityMode = 1. When i try adding a new client, I can only add those user which i add in Cognos Exprss Manager. Is there a way I can add a user without going through Cognos Express Manager ?

Tm1p.ini file AllowImportCamClients to 'F', does this work?

[winsonlee]

tried changing AllowImportCAMClients=F ini C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Applix\TM1\Tm1p.ini. Doesnt seems to be working. When i click add new client it still redirect me to Cognos Express Manager.

leaving the tm1p.ini as F can you try integratedsecuritymode =2

does this need a restart of services to occur?

Not familiar with this parameter, but it sounds like it probably needs to be in tm1s.cfg rather than tm1p.ini. The former is for the server, the latter is for the user.

Most, but not all, changes to the cfg file need a restart. The Operations Guide (I think, possibly the Developers Guide) has a list of all the cfg parameters and notes for each one whether a server restart is required for it to take effect.

Yeah, that was my first instinct too when I read the thread. However as much as it sounds like a server config item, when I checked the docs I found that it really is a tm1p.ini one. See "Configuring the TM1 Client" on page 230 of the 9.5.1 Operations Guide. The intention of the parameter is described thus:

You must add two parameters to your Tm1p.ini file to allow you to perform IBM Cognos 8 securityrelated
administrative tasks from your TM1® client.

So in essence, it's something which modifies the capability of the client rather than the server.

Yes; page 42 of the 9.5.1 Operation guide. It's a static parameter, not a dynamic one.

I am still confused. The first picture is showing TM1 9.1 where I can just add a new user directly. Second picture is after i migrate to Cognos Express 9.5. with the new Cognos Express 9.5, I can add user using Congos Express Manager but I do not know how I can login using IntegratedSecurityMode = 1.I create the following user on Cognos Express Manager
Username : tim.burton
Given Name : Tim
Surname : Burton
Password : timburton


But when i click "Add new client", It is showing "Cognos Express\Tim Burton" as the username and password is undefine.
I have tried
username : tim.burton password:timburton
username : Cognos Express\tim.burton password:timburton
username : Cognos Express\Tim Burton password:timburton
username : tim.burton password:
username : Cognos Express\tim.burton password:
username : Cognos Express\Tim Burton password:

Using all the above login gives me "Client name does not exist on the server".

Try editing the ini file on this path:

C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER_NAME\Application Data\Applix\TM1\Tm1p.ini

Finally i understand what you guys trying to say. The link above explain more in detail the steps required to disable the CAM security.

thanks
