Automatic Logins

[arthur kogan]

Hi Bob,

as both Axiant and arguably PH Client are Windows products, you should be able
to use Cognos's "COGNOS SCRIPT" macro language (which comes free with the
purchase of any COGNOS BI products) "SEND KEY" functionality.

I would also check the manual for Axiant and PH Client (sorry, do not have one
here) for any appropriate command line switches, like -u "username", -pw
"password" etc... I know, that Cognos's BI products provide this type of
functionality. This is available, for example, for an automatic scheduled
Powerplay "IN-DATABASE" cube build.

As with all this type of things, you would need to consider the security
implications carefully. Also, consider that this does not handle regular
request from the machine for new password, so you may need to disable this,
causing another security issue.

I hope this helps.
