TM1top and AD in CE 10

Post by jameswebber »

In CE 9.5 I raised a ticket that TM1 Top did not present cam usernames correctly and was therefore useless

This was fixed in CE 10
However the issue I had was logging into TM1 top with a AD user account that has admin access

Steps to replicate:
Running TM1 top directly on the server

The steps are
1: Verify as my AD account
V
2: asked for namespace
CognosExpressActivedirectoryID used to work but now it must be
CognosExpressActiveDirectoryID

3: Enter user name
User name j.webber

4: Put in password


I got the namespace from cognos connection, before the error I got was:
User does not have admin access, not verified

Press any key to continue:


By the way if you install cognos insight you get all the tm1top installs on your PC
In the following directory:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\IBM\Cognos Insight\bins

You can then copy this bin directory e.g. bin_10.1.4143.0 to a program files dir and ser it up in citrix (providing your user has an admin licence)
