On all report server computers, ensure that the installation location of the default font is specified in the Physical font paths property or that the font is in the Windows font directory. Configure Cognos Portal Services For most deployments of Cognos Portal Services you must modify some Cognos Portal Services property settings. The default property settings are only appropriate for a single computer installation that uses anonymous access. This type of installation is typically used for proof of concept purposes. The most common changes are to specify the details about the host of the Cognos Portal Services web content, and to specify the authentication method used by ReportNet. For more information, see the Cognos Portal Services Administration Guide.

The Web Content URI host and port number should be the same as the Gateway URI that appears under Environment. 5. From the File menu, click Save. Specify the Authentication Method If ReportNet is configured to use an authentication provider, you must change the default property setting from anonymous logon to the appropriate authentication method. If SAP BW and SAP EP are configured to share the SAP logon ticket, you can use the Single Sign-on option.
