Error description
The customer has a requirement for Cognos to accept two HTTP header variables, either may contain the username of the user that was previously authenticated in an earlier request. The two systems in question are IHS secured with Tivoli and Websphere portal server. IHS passes HTTP_IV_USER and WPS passes HTTP_REMOTE_USER. We must append HTTP_ so that the web server does not strip these headers out since REMOTE_USER is blocked in incoming requests on webservers due to obvious security problems. We're finding that the | ( or ) expression we're using is only matching the first argument and not the second. ??Example of expression: ??(|(uid=${environment("HTTP_IV_USER")})(uid=${environment("REMO TE_USER")}))??
