Hello Patrick,
This is the complete answer I got:
Consistency checks with reference to external namespaces are not expected to work with OIDC namespaces. This is because Cognos is unable to query the OIDC namespace the way it can query an LDAP namespace. There is no way for us to read what users, groups and roles exist within OIDC. Due to this same reason, we have to manually import all users and groups in Cognos.
These checks have never worked, however, in order versions, the checks would go ahead without any action or error. This was logged as a defect and new version display an error when running the check against an OIDC namespace.

Hi Danny,
Thank you for this feedback from IBM Support.
Do you know why OpenID namespaces are not supported with this consistency check feature?

Hello Patrick,
We noticed the same issue since upgrading from 12.0.3 to 12.0.4. I contacted IBM about it and they said that this wasn't working in the former versions either and that they just added an appropriate error message now.

Hi,
I want to share this message with you.
I was trying to explain how to use consistency check to my customer. Then I received the following error message:
CM-ADM-4040 Consistency checks for OpenID namespaces are not supported. The namespace with the ID ABCD will not be processed.
CM-ADM-4001 You did not select a supported namespace. Therefore, a consistency check was not performed on security references.
To date, there is no article on the IBM support website about both error messages, and nothing in the product documentation.
Best regards,
