Step: Create the reporting system user, if necessary
*
If you are setting the authentication mode to "authenticated per user" skip this procedure and continue to Step: Configure the Cognos authentication properties in IBM EMM.
When you create the reports system user, you create the user and add data source credentials to the user that holds login information for IBM® Cognos® BI. In this way, you configure two sets of logins for the same user:
*
One for the IBM® system: the user name and password specified for the reports system user (cognos_admin)
*
One for IBM® Cognos® BI: the user name and password specified as data source credentials for the reports system user
1.
Log in to IBM® EMM as the platform_admin user.
2.
Select Settings > Users.
3.
Create an IBM® user with the following attributes:
a.
User name: cognos_admin
b.
Password: admin
4.
Create a new data source for the user with the following attributes:
a.
Data Source: Cognos
b.
Data Source Logon: cognos_admin
Ensure that the user name in the data source exactly matches the user name of the IBM® user you created in step 3.
c.
Data Source Password: admin
5.
Add the Reports System role to the user.
6.
If IBM® EMM is configured to expire user passwords, log out and then log back in as the reporting system user (cognos_admin). This step ensures that you interact with the IBM® security "change password" challenge and reset the password before you log in to IBM® Cognos® as this user in a later task.
