  • 1.  Setup SSO with apache httpd

    Posted Thu May 05, 2022 04:11 AM
    We are trying to setup Single Sign On on our platform Cognos Analytics with this environment :
    CA Server on Linux (Red Hat)
    Web Server on Apache HTTPD 2.4
    Authentication with LDAP

    The portal works perfectly without SSO.
    To enable SSO, I used the cognos_apache24_loadbalance_SSO.conf template as mentioned in the documentation.
    I think there is something to adjust at the end of the file, with the AuthType, AuthName, AuthUserFile, Require valid-user parameters
    Could you tell me how to adjust them to make an LDAP user verification ?

    And although how to tell apache to send the current windows user/password to Cognos ?

    Pierre,

    It's significantly more difficult than that and since the majority of it doesn't really involve Cognos, IBM doesn't document it. You have to implement an Apache module for Kerberos (http://modauthkerb.sourceforge.net/).
