Step 5: Update the DomainSuffix entry for the AuthenticationFilter registry key on the InForm Application Server—Optional
If you are installing Cognos Reporting, you must update the DomainSuffix entry for the Oracle AuthenticationFilter registry key if any of the following is true on the InForm Application Server:
- You use proxy servers for the Cognos Gateway Server and the InForm Application Server.
- The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for either server does not end with a common domain suffix.
The FQDN is registered in the Oracle AuthenticationFilter DomainSuffix entry during installation of the InForm Application Server and the Cognos Gateway Server. If the FQDN for both installations ends in a common domain suffix such as .net, .com, .org, .edu, or .gov (with or without a country name like .uk or .au), you do not need to update the DomainSuffix entry unless you use proxy servers.
- The FQDN has just two levels (for example: <servername>.com).
- In the Windows Registry Editor, navigate to the following Windows Registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLEHS\AuthenticationFilter
- Update the entry for DomainSuffix:
- Right-click the entry, and select Modify.
The Edit String dialog box appears.
- Enter the new value in the Value Data field.
- If you use proxy servers, or if the FQDN for either server does not end with a common domain suffix, remove every part of the domain suffix that is not identical on both computers. For example, if the FQDN includes <servername>.<companyname>.co.uk, after the edit, the entry would be <companyname>.co.uk.
- If the InForm software and Cognos Analytics are installed on the same machine, and the FQDN has only two nodes such as <servername>.com, you must include the server name and the domain suffix in the entry. In the above example, the entry would read <servername>.co.uk.
- Click OK.
- Right-click the entry, and select Modify.
- Exit the Windows Registry Editor.
- Restart IIS.
- On the InForm Application Server, restart the InForm Service.
