QUESTION: 5

An administrator is evaluating system status using the Scorecard pane on the Status > System page in the IBM Cognos Administration console.
Which statement is true?

If a service is disabled in IBM Cognos Configuration, it is listed in the Scorecard pane.
The status that is displayed for each entry reflects the lowest status for all child entries.
A status of Available is displayed when at least 80% of the child entries have a status of Available.
A status of Unavailable is displayed when at least 80% of the child entries have a status of Unavailable.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The metric score for each entry is based on the performance of individual child entries. The status that is displayed for each entry is the lowest status of the child entries. For example, if all the metrics for a dispatcher are good, but one service on that dispatcher has a poor metric, the metric score shown for the dispatcher is poor.
Status is one of the following:

QUESTION: 6

An administrator needs to add users from multiple authentication providers to a single role. What needs to be done?

Log on to each of the namespaces before starting.
Add external namespaces to the Cognos namespace manually.
Add the users to a Cognos group, then add the group to the Cognos role.
Import the users to the Cognos namespace first, then add the users to the Cognos role.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In the Cognos Analytics user interface, authentication providers are represented by namespaces. Cognos Analytics supports the following types of authentication providers:
Authentication providers are configured in IBM Cognos Configuration, under the Security > Authentication category. After the provider namespace is added there, and the IBM Cognos service is restarted, the namespace name is displayed in Manage > Accounts, and users can log on to Cognos Analytics using that namespace.

QUESTION: 8

An administrator needs to setup security for a newly installed environment. Which of the following is a valid step?

Remove the default authentication provider.
Enable anonymous access for selected users, groups, or roles.
Delete the Everyone group to limit access to the environment for selected users, groups, and roles.
Add trusted users, groups, or roles to the System Administrators role, and then remove the Everyone group from the role.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

You may not want all users that exist in an authentication source to have access to IBM Cognos software. To secure IBM Cognos software, configure the product so that only users who belong to a specific group or role in your authentication source, or in the Cognos namespace, are allowed access.
We recommend using the Cognos namespace because it contains preconfigured groups and roles that help you to secure IBM Cognos software quickly. One of the preconfigured groups is Everyone.
By default, the group Everyone belongs to several built-in groups and roles in the Cognos namespace.
If you decide to use the Cognos namespace, you must remove the Everyone group from all built-in groups and roles and replace it with groups, roles, or users authorized to access IBM Cognos software.
