Create the ORACLEHS LDAP namespace

You create the ORACLEHS LDAP namespace on the Cognos Content Manager Server. For more information, see Step 6: Create the ORACLEHS LDAP namespace on the Content Manager Server.

Run this procedure each time you run the InForm CRNConfig wizard.

  1. On the server where Cognos 10 BI is installed, select Start > All Programs > IBM Cognos 10 - 64 > Cognos Configuration.

    The Cognos Configuration window appears.

  2. In the Security tree, right-click Authentication, and select New resource > Namespace.

    The New Resource - Namespace dialog box appears.

  3. Enter the following values:
    • Name—ORACLEHS (all uppercase)
    • Type—Select LDAP - General default values from the drop-down list.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Complete the parameters as follows:
    • Namespace ID—ORACLEHS
    • Host and Port<fullyqualifiedmachinename>: <LDAPServerPort>

      (For example, port number: 389)

    • Base distinguished name—Domain name for your environment. For example, if the network domain is hof.com, ou=ORACLEHS,dc=hof,dc=com

      Note: Do not enter spaces after the commas between the parts of the domain.

    • User lookup—(uid=${userID})
  6. Select File > Save.

    The Cognos Configuration utility validates the settings and saves the configuration.

  7. When the validation checks are complete (all items are marked with a green check mark), click Close.
  8. Click Close, and close the Cognos Configuration utility window.
