Hi Eli,
IBM Cognos is built on Java platform and as such many features that require embedding the methods into jvm/jre processes should be built in Java. Authentication is one such feature where the implementation methods should be embedded as part of Cognos processing system itself. Moreover, all java samples do not have corresponding .net versions even where possible; that's because they are only samples.
This is what I can derive from my experience and understanding.
Also, I would suggest not to use the sample as is for authentication as the samples would not implement robust exception handling, security mechanisms etc that might usually be required in a production setup; you can use them as reference and build upon them.

...Thanks. However, within the folder <servername>\Program Files\ibm\cognos\analytics\sdk\java\ there is sample code for Custom Authentication located in <servername>\Program Files\ibm\cognos\analytics\sdk\java\AuthenticationProvider\
There is no sample code for Custom Authentication located in <servername>\Program Files\ibm\cognos\analytics\sdk\csharp\
There is no AuthenticationProvider folder located in <servername>\Program Files\ibm\cognos\analytics\sdk\csharp\
Where can I find the C# code for Custom Authentication {AuthenticationProvider}?
Continued Regards,
Eli

Hi Eli,
As far as I know, Visual Studio Code IDE allows you to build a jar file and not Visual Studio 2019 IDE. VS Code is free and you can try that.
