QueryVision offers both a Custom Authentication Provider toolkit for developers as well as a turnkey, out of the box relational provider.
Custom Authentication Provider for IBM Cognos
- QueryVision Custom Authentication Provider for IBM Cognos
Our Custom Authentication Provider contains a rich set of documentation, tools, techniques, and full source code. A fully implemented relational authentication provider is also provided to jump start your Custom Authentication Provider Solution.
Snap in Relational Authentication Provider
QueryVision’s “out of the box” solution uses a relational database as the authentication store and includes a companion Trusted Signon Provider for Single Sign-on support.
The product is optimized for Extranet or Intranet Applications. It also may be installed with its own schema or adapted to your existing relational security solutions in less than a day.
Databases supported:
- SQL Server 2000, 2005, 2008
- DB2 9.X
- Oracle 9g, 10g, 11g
Months vs. Days
The key benefit of our security solution is the reduction in both the risk and time required to develop a custom or relational authentication provider. Developing a provider from scratch is at least a 6 to 8 week effort. Furthermore, if this is done incorrectly, you risk compromising the security of your Cognos application.
