In the Cognos Analytics user interface, authentication providers are represented by namespaces.
Cognos Analytics supports the following types of authentication providers:
Active Directory
Custom Java Provider
IBM Cognos Series 7
LDAP
OpenID Connect
SAP
SiteMinder
Authentication providers are configured in IBM Cognos Configuration, under the Security > Authentication category. After the provider namespace is added there, and the IBM Cognos service is restarted, the namespace name is displayed in Manage > Accounts, and users can log on to Cognos Analytics using that namespace.
