IBM Cognos Analytics Single SignOn using parametrized URL is not working after upgrading

Troubleshooting


Problem

IBM Cognos Analytics Single Sign-On (SSO) using parametrized URL stops working after upgrade. Third party web application generates Cognos Analytics Token and redirects into Cognos Analytics with the CAMUSer and CAMPassword variables but it doesn't login, instead displays the login screen.
Manual login works.

Symptom

  • Website redirects user to login page instead of accepting the user ID and password
  • 441 error is seen in network trace

Resolving The Problem

As web application is sending CAMuser and CAMpassword which adds into the URL directly, following advanced parameters need to be added in Cognos Analytics 11.1.x:

  • Login to Cognos Analytics as Admin
  • Click Manage > Configuration > System, and select Advanced Settings.
  • In the key field type: Glass.urlLoginParameters
  • In the value field type: CAMNamespace,CAMUsername,CAMPassword
  • Click Apply
