TM1 Native Security Question (Contributor)

[youngjedi]

Hello all,

If I use TM1 native security (authentication mode 1) for Contributor users, how would the user change their password?

Thanks,

Exactly how would you propose doing that? As far as I'm aware TM1 Contributor requires that the Tm1 server be using security mode 4 or 5.

You can use TM1 native security with Contributor however to my knowledge the ability to change your password is not accesible from contributor. You would likely need to direct them to TM1 Web (I know, not a great solution as you dont want users in TM1 Web who also use Contributor).

The other options get more complicated, but you could theoretically use the API to build a page (Java or .Net) that performed such a task. Then simply modify the contributor .aspx page to include a link to your home built password reset page.

Or you can use SSO and then you don't need to worry about password resets.

I believe it's security modes 1 or 5 (native or CAM/Cognos 8). Sadly no AD as far as I know.

Using the IntegratedSecurityMode Parameter with TM1 Contributor

You set the TM1 security authentication mode using the IntegratedSecurityMode parameter in the Tm1s.cfg file of each TM1 server you want to use. TM1 Contributor is compatible only with TM1 security authentication modes 1 and 5.

For example, to use TM1 standard security authentication, set the IntegratedSecurityMode parameter to 1 for each server.

IntegratedSecurityMode=1

To use IBM Cognos 8 security, set the IntegratedSecurityMode parameter to 5.

IntegratedSecurityMode=5

For more details about the IntegratedSecurityMode parameter, see the "TM1 System Configuration" section in the IBM Cognos TM1 Operations Guide.
