Configure Active Directory authentication
Active Directory authentication is embedded in IBM® Cognos Controller so all you have to do is configure it.
Before you begin
Make sure that the following things are in place:
- The Cognos Controller server must be in the Active Directory that is used for authentication. If the server has Microsoft Windows 2012 or earlier installed, then you must install the Windows Authentication component. For more information, see Adding Windows Authentication Providers <add> (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/configuration/system.webserver/security/authentication/windowsauthentication/providers/add).
- Cognos Controller directories and the Cognos Controller application pool are set up.
