Note:

This step is required only if you are using Reporting.

Use this procedure to update the Web Content URL and Gateway URI entries for SSL.

1. On the Cognos Report servers, select Start > Apps > Cognos Configuration.
2. After the Cognos Configuration utility is completely loaded, select Portal Services and update the Web Content URI entry:

   https://<servername>.<domainname>:<portnumber>/COGNOS11

   Note:

   Be sure to change the port number to the port for HTTPS.

   For example:

   https://www.example.com:443/cognos11

3. Select Environment and update the Gateway URI entry:

   https://<servername>.<domainname>:<portnumber>/cognos11/cgi-bin/cognosisapi.dll

   Note:

   Be sure to change the port number to the port for HTTPS.

   For example:

   https://www.example.com:443/cognos11/cgi-bin/cognosisapi.dll

4. Select File > Save.
   The Cognos Configuration utility validates the settings and saves the configuration.
5. When the checks are complete (all items are marked with a green check mark), click Close.
6. Click Close, and close the Cognos Configuration utility window.
