About the Cognos Private Gateway

If you install the Reporting and Analysis module, you must also install a Private Gateway. The Private Gateway provides secure access to certain Cognos 10 BI Reporting software administrative tasks that are not available through the InForm user interface.

The Private Gateway must be located on a secure, dedicated server (the Cognos Private Gateway Server) that is accessible to a limited number of users with administrative privileges for the Cognos 10 BI Reporting software. For more information, see Prepare the Cognos Gateway Server.
