Cognos Analytics

Hi all,

Few months ago, I connected Cognos Analytics to Azure AD.
I used Azure AD OIDC provider.
It works fine in interactivity mode (portal navigation, dashboards creation, and so on...).
But we can't create a schedule. Cognos asks us credentials.
I enable internal OIDC logging.
You'll find it in the file attached (AZURE_AD_OIDC_provider_log.txt).

First question = Do you know settings, in AZURE AD application or in Cognos Analytics, for schedule creation to work ?

I tried OIDC generic provider to connect to AZURE AD, but I didn't find good setup to open a session on Cognos Analytics portal.
Here is a screen shot of error message
You'll find the log file attached (generic_OIDC_provider_log.txt)

Second question = Do you have a "how to" guide to setup generic OIDC for Azure AD ?

I summarize :
With Azure AD OIDC provider, I can connect to Cognos Analytics portal, but I can't create schedule.
With generic OIDC provider, I can't connect to Cognos Analytics portal. 

Environment :
Cognos Analytics 11.1.1
3 directories  : Azure AD,  Cognos Access Manager and AD
Windows server 2012 R2

Thanks for your help,
Regards,

What impacts schedules with OIDC is password grant flow and whether MFA is enabled. Can you share your cogstartup.xml file?

I've tested this inhouse and it works. Checking your generic namespace, you've set the password grant flow to "unsupported" which is incorrect. So, I would suggest you set it as follows:



Then test.
