Custom Authentication Provider

QueryVision


Overview

Many OEM companies that leverage the Cognos BI platform use customized authentication solutions so their application and its security can be deployed as a single, independent solution.

The QueryVision plug-and-play Custom Authentication Provider provides custom authentication integration within a single day. This frees up projects that demand your authentication source be available from day one.

As well, if your authentication provider requires custom integration, the Custom Authentication Toolkit extends the Cognos Java Custom Authentication Provider SDK with essential tools, components, and documentation to make your team highly productive from the start.

Benefits

The QueryVision Custom Authentication Toolkit reduces implementation time from weeks to days, and does so without compromising security.

QueryVision also provides a full commercial-ready implementation of a custom authentication provider, using a SQL database as the authentication namespace object data repository. This includes built-in logging and industry standard encryption and security. It can unblock any project timeline risks and accelerate your overall Cognos implementation schedule. Even if you don’t use SQL for your final authentication source, you can snap in our reference implementation and have your Cognos project working on Day 1.

Simply put, our solution provides you with the lowest cost of ownership when integrating custom authentication with your Cognos architecture.

Features

  • Out-of-the-box reference implementation
  • Ability to migrate from reference implementation to custom implementation
  • Extensive documentation with in-depth architecture and implementation guidelines
  • Cognos-compatible support tools to significantly increase your productivity and success
  • Development and test harness for debugging and testing your implementation

Architecture

QueryVision has enhanced the Cognos Java Custom Authentication Provider SDK in two ways.

First, our toolkit extends the existing IBM Cognos 8 SDK with developer tools and a test harness to create a development environment that snaps into IBM Cognos ReportNet or the Cognos architecture. For customers wanting single sign-on capabilities, we have also embedded this support within our Custom Authentication Toolkit.

Second, our reference implementation uses a SQL database as the authentication source. It can be used out-of-the-box or to jumpstart your project and then moved to a custom-based provider later.
