最近在搞Cognos和Websphere的SSO,被折磨了多天,经过持续的努力,终于配置成功了,记录下来,算给自己一个念想,留个心路历程。
网上搜到些文档,都是介绍Cognos和Websphere portal的SSO集成,我的应用没那么复杂,所以不能完全按照网上的文档来配置,只有前半部分部署Servlet Gateway可以借鉴,当你没有了参考,而又不知道应该怎么做时,是最痛苦的。就像在一间黑暗的房间里找到出去的门,不知道方向,但是如果经验越丰富,越是高手,可能打开门的时间会越短,希望自己朝着这个方向迈进。
Cognos用户可以和LDAP集成,使用LDAP中的用户登录
Cognos可以匿名登录,这个可以方便开发,省去繁琐的登录,当然设计具有权限的报表除外。同时,提供多种方式的用户集成。比较常用的NTLM(windows系统),LDAP等方式。Cognos支持多种LDAP服务器,笔者使用AD和Tivoli DS都进行测试过。本例中以TDS为例进行介绍。具体配置TDS的过程本文略去,当TDS安装配置好后,需要在Cognos Configuration中进行相应设置。
在Cognos Configuration中的Security->Authentiaction中,点右键New Recource,即添加一个Namespace,输入一个名称,比如输入LDAP,然后类型列表中选择LDAP。
然后修改属性值,参考下表:
Host and port |
<LDAP server host>:<LDAP port> |
Base Distinguished Name |
Distinguished name For example: o=sample |
User lookup |
(cn=${userID}) |
Use external identity |
TRUE |
External identity mapping |
(cn=${environment(“REMOTE_USER”)}) |
Bind user DN and password |
specify cn=root |
Size limit |
20 |
Time out in seconds |
300 |
Use bind credentials for search |
FALSE |
Allow empty password |
FALSE |
Unique identifier |
dn |
Data encoding |
UTF-8 |
SSL certificate database |

其中Use external identity和 External identity mapping一定要配置正确。
设置完成之后,可以点右键进行test,看看LDAP是否可以连接成功。
这些具体的每个属性的配置信息可以在IBM的Infocenter上查到,上面的文档很全,每种LDAP的服务器对应的配置都有介绍。
转到“Allow anonymous access”设置为False,即禁止匿名登录。
转到"Allow Namespace Override"设置为True
在部署 Websphere中 Cognos Servlet Gateway
首先找到Cognos的安装目录,在Install/war/gateway目录下,修改web.xml文件,如下所示:

其中红色的部分为新添加的。
然后使用Cognos Configuration来build应用,生成ear包
通过以上步骤就生成了ServletGateway.ear包,然后把它部署到Websphere中。
登录到WebSphere Admin console,进入Applications -> Install new Application
安装ServletGateway.ear包。
安装完成后修改security config,如图所示:
把Special subjects 设置为 “All Authenticated in Applications Realm”
转到Security > Global security 页面
确认“Enable application security”要被选中
在WebSphere中创建一个library path
转到Application Servers页面,打开部署ServletGateway的server,
进入Process Definition->Enviornment Entries
新创建一个Entry
Name输入PATH,Value输入<COGNOS_ROOT>/bin
然后重新启动WebSphere的服务。
打开Cognos Configuration, 进入Local Configuration > Environment, 把"Gateway URI"这一属性修改为 http://<server>:<port>/ServletGateway/servlet/Gateway
注意:<server>要使用如下格式 <hostname>.<domain>
保存所作的修改,重新启动Cognos服务。
现在可以测试一下Servlet Gateway
http://<server>:<port>/ServletGateway/servlet/Gateway
如果你的应用和Cognos Servlet Gateway都部署在同一个Websphere的profile中,那么SSO的配置就到此完成了。你可以试验一下SSO是否可以工作。
如果你的应用和Cognos Servlet Gateway部署在不同Websphere中,那么还需要进行如下配置。
也就是说需要两个Websphere之间的通信能SSO,目前主要有两种技术,一个是Shared secret,另一个是LTPA Token。下面讲解一下如何使用LTPA Token方式。
其实配置起来并不复杂,主要的步骤就是从一个Websphere中导出LTPA key,这个key实际上一个文件,然后把这个文件再导入到另一个Websphere,这样两个Websphere共用相同的LTPA key,就可以SSO了,就像把两个Websphere连接了起来,省去了logon.
这里要注意的是导入和导出的Websphere的Realm name必须一致,如下图所示:
好了,到此所有的配置都完成了。
