Cognos parameter	Description
Cognos Namespace	Custom Authentication Provider (CAP) namespace. The default is informcap. The case of the value you enter here must be the same case as the entry in the Cognos Configuration utility. For example, if the entry in the Cognos Configuration utility is in lower case (informcap), the <namespace> option must also be in lower case (informcap). informcap is the namespace created by the InForm CRN wizard. The namespace can be shared by many studies, and it should not typically need to be changed. If you have created additional namespaces manually with the Cognos Configuration utility, use the name of the newly created namespace in this field.

This Cognos parameter is set in the Cognos 10 Business Intelligence Gateway Customization for InForm wizard. The parameter setting is stored in the cogstartup.xml file. Example: http://www.example.com/cognos
Dispatcher URI	Internal URI that the InForm server uses to communicate with the Cognos server. This Cognos parameter is set in the InForm CRN wizard.
