I thought you did not want to go to 9.5.2 because it is the newest version. Now you are on the newest... not that the version of TM1 necessarily has anything to do with your login problem. Just a bit surprised by the change of mind as I don't think the different TM1 versions will solve or has solved any of your issues you describe.
Maybe add some of the information (TM1 configuration and what has changed with the upgrade, is it also a new machine, new TM1 service account, ... etc) from your 'upgrade' thread.

I have installed TM1 10 and its all working well although I am not using it with LDAP.

Have you tried at looking at the below settings to help you ?

## Optional LDAP Settings

# PasswordSource
# Determines the source of authentication
# Type: Optional, Static
# Two options:
# * TM1 (default) - Compares the user-entered password to the password in the TM1 database.
# * LDAP - Compares the user-entered password to the password stored in on the LDAP server.
#PasswordSource=LDAP


# LDAPPort
# TM1 attempts to bind to an LDAP server on the specified secure port. If you do not enter an LDAPPort value, TM1 uses the default value, port 636
# Type: Optional, Static
# This must be a secure (SSL) port.
#LDAPPort=636


# LDAPHost
# Uses the domain name or dotted string representation of the IP address of the LDAP server host. If you do enter a value for LDAPHost, TM1 uses the default value, localhost.
# Type: Optional, Static
#LDAPHost=localhost


# LDAPUseServerAccount
# Determines if a password is required to connect to the server when using LDAP authentication.
# Type: Optional
# To connect directly to the LDAP server using integrated authentication, set this parameter to T. Set this parameter to T whenever the IBM Cognos TM1 server and LDAP server exist on the same domain.
# To use a password before connecting, set this parameter to F. When LDAPUseServerAccount is set to F, you must also set the LDAPPasswordFile and LDAPPasswordKeyFile to successfully connect to the LDAP server using SSL.
#LDAPUseServerAccount=T


# LDAPSearchBase
# A base distinguished name (DN) in the LDAP directory. For example:
# ou=people,o=company.com
# Specifies the node in the LDAP tree at which the search for the TM1 user being validated begins. For example, if the distinguished names are of the form:
# uid-bjensen, ou-people, o=company.com
#
# then the search base would be:
# ou-people, o=company.com
# This is a required field if using LDAP Authentication.
#LDAPSearchBase=cn=users,dc=company,dc=com


# LDAPSearchField
# cn
# The name of the LDAP attribute that is expected to contain the name of the TM1 user being validated. If you do not enter an LDAPSearchField value, the default value is cn, which is also the default value for Microsoft Active Directory.
#LDAPSearchField=cn=user


# IPVersion
# Select IPv4 or IPv6
# Sets IP protocol.
# Type: Optional, Static
#
# Three options:
# * ipv4 - use ipv4 (default)
# * ipv6 - use ipv6
# * dual - use ipv6 with support for ipv4
IPVersion=ipv4


Cheers

When i have the login as LDAP
i get LDAPUserNotFound

But i have connected via ET LDAP and exported all the users fine. when i connect as the default admin account, and check clients/groups i can see all the users ok

are you able to help me translate my original settings into the new format of the tm1s.cfg?

i tried doing the tm1crypt.dll and creating key files etc

Hi
Have you tried hashing (#) the ClientVersionMaximum=91
The syntax for this would be 9.1.something any ways.

When you say
"when i test TM1 authentication - 80: SystemServerClientNotFound"
how do you actually do that? From a 9.1 Perspective client?

You have not changed anything in you cfg and it worked in 9.1?

Is it the same machine, same TM1 service account? Has the AD password changed after someone put it in the public domain?

Maybe this can give a few pointers:

yeah, that has all been removed

i have gone past this step now, issue is LDAP authentication not working

9.1 config all working fine

new server, no changes to ad passwords

I suspect its a LDAP issue rather than TM1 one.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/218185

LDAP_INVALID_DN_SYNTAX "0x22 The distinguished name has an invalid syntax."

Resolution is here

my syntax hasn't changed
LDAPSearchBase="ou=All-Users,dc=domain,dc=com,dc=au"


i have just configured 9.5 and it's working fine.
must be the way 10.1 handles LDAP differently?

hope not!

long shot but is the TM1 service running with the same account that 9.5 was?

the tm1 server service is running with the same account that i have working for 9.1 and 9.5, and what i tried for 10.1

I'm having a similar issues with Cognos Express authenticating against the active directory namespace.
I know this was working on Thu 14/06/2012 .

But has since stopped working...perhaps around a week.
I have yet to figure out the extract fix but I'm sure this is windows server 2008 r2 related.

Steps you can use.

Firstly run ldp.exe (install Active directory tools on your computer if you don't have them already)
Check that you can connect okay to your ldap server like ldap.company.com:389 (or 636)

I found I couldn't on my pc until I disabled the windows firewall.

If this was the case you will need ldp.exe on your server. Add the server role "Active directory lightweight directory services"
Now test you can connect to ldap. I couldn't
Stopped all my server windows firewalls, rebooted and now I can connect using standard windows

However I still can't connect into Cognos Express using my AD namespace I get:
the provided credentials are invalid. Please type your credentials for authentication.

I'm now thinking that perhaps a windows server update has coused this as I have a virtual server that was all setup with CE9.5 I have not touched for 6 months which is also not working but was working connecting to AD before.

See this topic I created:
http://www.tm1forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7684

Anyway hope the AD testing tool helps
