TM1 - CAMPassport and CAMNamespace

Post by kavitha2002 »

Hello Everyone,

I would like to know the difference between the CAMPassport and CAMNamespace. In TM1 REST Api, authentication header for IntergratedSecurityMode 5 could be either 'CAMPassport ' or 'CAMNamespace'.

What the difference and when situation to use either of these?

Another question is:

In would like to make SSO for our application using following url, redirect to our application after successful login:

For Authentication Header - CAMPassport

http://localhost:80/ibmcognos/cgi-bin/c ... e/Mainpage

Its first prompt the IBM CA then if its SSO then redirect to application.

Its working, but is it a right way of doing? I have tested only on CA 10.2 which is older version. I would like to rewrite this above url so that it has to work in all the CA Version.



Kindly provide me some details.

CAMPassport is user's authentication token in TM1 and it's alive for the duration of user's session
CAMNamespace is an authentication Namespace set up in you CAM (you can have many namespaces)
