    Hello everyone,

    is it possible to login to Cognos Analytics by entering an email address instead of a username? I am talking about Active Directory, where each user has their email address filled in the $mail variable. Is it possible to set this search by email address in Cognos Configuration in the AD/LDAP section? How? Thank you for your suggestions.

    Look at this technote https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/understanding-ldap-v3-namespace-configuration-cognos

    Try to set  in the Cognos Configuration  LDAP Namespace property User Lookup to (&(mail=${userID})(objectclass=person))
