  • 1.  Cognos trigger.bat with OIDC

    Posted Wed February 26, 2020 02:15 PM
    Hi,
    We have implemented OIDC connection for CA.
    With our previous directory service LDAP(AD) we used scripts(trigger.bat) to call triggers from other sources.
    The sytax is something like this


    trigger.bat "http://servername:9300/p2pd/servlet/dispatch" "id" "password" "test-trigger-oidc"

    Since we changed LDAP to OIDC, we aren't able to use the script.
    I understand for OIDC login is little different and we have SSO now , the namespace is kind of not available for login.

    How to handle triggers for OIDC.
    I get the error message

    Call to IdP failed to get id

    entity. Status 400

    Error: unsupported_grant_type


    with the same account, I am able to login and run jobs/reports via cognos connection.
    I also have a PMR open for almost 2 weeks but there isn't any response yet.
    Thank you in advance.

    As far as I know OpenID requires a browser to pass authentication through. I've not seen any way to circumvent this via other code. Maybe your OpenID provider would have more information.
