Chapter 6: Configuring Framework Manager 3. In the Properties window, change the default values by clicking the Value box and then selecting the appropriate value: • If you do not want to store the CSKs locally, under CSK settings, change Store symmetric key locally to False. Then change the Common symmetric key store location to the key store location of the Content Manager computer. When Store symmetric key locally is False, the key must be retrieved from Content Manager. • If you want the computers at both ends of a transmission to prove their identity, under SSL Settings, change Use mutual authentication to True. We recommend that you do not change the Use confidentiality setting. Set this property to true to ensure all transmissions are encrypted. • If you want to change the confidentiality algorithm, under Advanced algorithm settings, change Confidentiality algorithm to the other 40-bit key value. If you select and try to save an algorithm that does not use a 40-bit key, you will receive an error message. These other algorithms are reserved for use with other cryptographic providers. For more information, see the Enhanced Encryption Module for OpenSSL Installation Guide or the Enhanced Encryption Module for Entrust Installation Guide. 4. From the File menu, click Save. After you configure the cryptographic provider, passwords in your configuration and any data you create are encrypted. Steps for Cryptographic Provider Settings 1. Start Cognos Configuration. 2. In the Explorer window, under Security, Cryptography, click Cognos. • If you want to use a third-party certificate authority, under Certificate Authority settings, change Use third party CA to True. • If you want to change the location of the signing keys, under Signing key settings, change the Signing key store location property to the new location. • If you want to change the location of the encryption keys, under Encryption key settings, change Encryption key store location to the new location. 3. From the File menu, click Save. If you use a third-party Certificate Authority (CA) server, you must now configure ReportNet to use the CA. Configure a Source Control System To help you manage, share and secure different versions of your metadata you can configure Framework Manager to use a source control system. You must already have one of the following source control system clients set up on the same computer as Framework Manager: • ComponentSoftware Concurrent Versions System • Visual Source Safe For more information about installing and setting up source control systems, see the Framework Manager User Guide. Steps 1. Start Cognos Configuration. 2. In the Explorer window, under Environment, right-click Source Control Systems, click New resource, Source Control System. 3. In the Name box, type a name for your source control system. 4. In the Type box, select a source control system from the list. 5. Click OK. 6. In the Properties window, type the appropriate values for the mandatory properties. 72 Cognos ReportNet TM
Chapter 6: Configuring Framework Manager 7. From the File menu, click Save. Change the Gateway URI to Use an Alternate Gateway The value you specify for the Gateway URI property depends on • the gateway you use • whether the gateway is on the same computer as Framework Manager • whether you plan to distribute reports Ensure that you also configure ReportNet to use alternate gateways. Steps 1. Start Cognos Configuration. 2. Click Environment. 3. In the Properties window for the Gateway URI property, replace the cognos.cgi portion of the URI with the appropriate value: • If you use Microsoft Internet Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) to support Microsoft Internet Information Services on Windows, type cognosasapi.dll. • If you use apache_mod to support Apache Web Server, type mod_cognos.dll. • If you use a servlet gateway, use the following syntax: http[s]://host:port/contextName/servlet/Gateway Note: contextName is the name you assigned to the ServletGateway Web application when you deployed the ServletGateway WAR file. 4. Change the host name portion of the Gateway URI from localhost to either the IP address of the computer or the computer name. To be able to open reports that are sent by email, you must change the host name portion of the Gateway URI from localhost. Otherwise the URL in the email will contain localhost and remote users will not be able to open the report. 5. From the File menu, click Save. After you configured Framework Manager, you can test the Framework Manager installation and configuration. Setting Up Data Sources Framework Manager creates and manages metadata required for the reporting functions performed by ReportNet. Because this metadata is derived from data sources in multi-platform, or multilingual environments, there are several things you must think about or do when you set up data sources. Commonly, these things depend on the third-party technology you use for you data source. Ensure that you install the appropriate language packs to support the character sets and currency symbols you use. Oracle To enable multilingual support, you must set the NLS_LANG (National Language Support) environment variable on each computer where Framework Manager and the ReportNet server is installed. DB2 To enable multilingual support, you can set the DB2CODEPAGE environment variable to a value of 1252. For more information about whether to use this optional environment variable, see the DB2 documentation. SAP BW To enable Framework Manager to retrieve metadata from SAP BW, proper authorizations must be set up within the SAP system. Installation and Configuration Guide 73
