tm1top with CAM security

[dan.kelleher]

Hi,

Does anyone know if you have to change the .ini file when switching to CAM security?

I cannot seem to verify even though my account has admin access

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan,

Unfortunately this is a known bug and there is nothing that I know you can do about it. (I hope someone knows differenty), however, during the recent presentations by IBM when talking about 9.5.2 it was mentioned that this bug will be fixed, along with a change so that you will be able to see to whom the camid belongs, and not just half the camid itself.

There are some parameters you have to fill:
- IntegratedSecurityMode (has to be 5)
- ServerCAMURI
- ClientCAMURI
- CAMPortalVariableFile

You can see the details in the Installation Guide.

Yes, this is pissing me off too. But it would be even better if we can see the full login name instead of the CAM ID (which can't tell you instantly who are the users unless you memorize those long IDs).
And you can see the full CAM ID from the TM1Top log as a workaround for the time being.

All I have found is this is fixed in 9.5.2?

Seems like the answer from our IBM partner is no.. another Cognos Express fail

We have 9.5.1 HF 24 and we don't need any special parameters in the ini file. The parameters mentioned before are in the tm1s.cfg.

But do your users show correctly in tm1top or like this:


Cmd:
Id Username State Function
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5084 Th:Pseudo Idle -
3568 Th:DynamicConfIdle -
6360 CAMID("CognosEIdle -
5568 CAMID("CognosEIdle -
7052 CAMID("CognosEIdle -
3960 CAMID("CognosEIdle -

Client attribute > }TM1_DefaultDisplayValue < displays in 9.5.2 FP1 -
CAMID was still displayed in 9.5.2 base release .

Yeah I read that herehttps://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview ... wg1PM36166
Not much use for Congos Express as it only has tm1 9.5.1
