    Trying to use the Salesforce connector but getting an error.
    Does anyone have experience with this?
    Seems like we need a different url as we are using single sign on !

    I haven't tried to connect to our Saleforce instance in Cognos, but I did find this online. Looks like the answer for the user(s) was to create a service account that didn't require SSO to make the connection.

    Here's one other article I found. It looks like it is a Salesforce authentication issue and not a Cognos issue.
