Configuring CAM Security for TM1 Application Web

[mce]

Hi Guys,

I installed TM1 Application Web 10.1.1 and Cognos BI 10.2.
I want to use Cognos Security with TM1 servers.
It all works ok in TM1Web.
But when I want to login to TM1 Applicaiton Web, it asks user Id and password for TM1 of native security, rather than asking Cognos BI login credentials.
I could not work out hot to make TM1 Application web to divert to Cognos BI for authentication.
Any help will be appreciated if someone else had the same issue.

Regards,

Just found how to fix it.
I just needed to enter Cognos BI Gateway and Dispatcher URLs in fpmsvc_config.xml file under .....webapps\pmpsvc\WEB-INF\configuration\ folder.
Not surprisingly it is not mentioned anywhere in any documentation at least as far as I can find. Had to find by trial and error.

MCE - I have the same issue, and since its not documented anywhere, not sure of the syntax of the BI URLs I need to put into pmsvc_config.xml.

Can you provide the syntax of the added URLs in this file?

In version 10.2, it allows to change these in TM1 application web portal.
It is usually in the following form in a default port configuration:

gateway uri= "http://[cognos_server_address]:80/ibmcognos/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi"
dispatcher uri= "http://[cognos_server_address]:9300/p2pd/servlet/dispatch"

There is a Technote for this now:

When configuring CAM after the initialization settings have been set, there will be no further automatic prompts so it would need to be configured manually.

So it may remain a manual task if you logged in to Applications with native security first.

It is important to note that if you have multiple TM1 servers setup in the xml file, all servers should use the same authentication mode, 5 in our case.
