• Question 42:

  An administrator wants to implement load balancing without using an external load balancing mechanism. What is one approach that can be used to achieve this?

  A. Set up a standby Content Manager.
  B. Install a gateway on each database server.
  C. Configure dispatchers together with the content stores.
  D. Configure gateways to direct all traffic to a dedicated dispatcher.
  C. Configure dispatchers together with the content stores.

  ---

  If your installation includes more than one dispatcher, you can specify the proportion of requests that each dispatcher handles by changing their processing capacity. This is commonly referred to as load balancing. You typically set the capacity for a dispatcher based on the CPU speed of the computer where it is installed.

  Incorrect Answers:

  B, C: When a tenant user logs on to IBM Cognos software for the first time, the user profile is automatically created for the user. The profile is based on the tenant user profile, if one exists. If a tenant profile does not exist, the default user

  profile is applied to the user.

  The default user profile is defined in the Cognos namespace. It contains settings that apply to all new users. You can edit the default user profile for your users to minimize the number of changes you need to make to individual user profiles.

  D: Procedure

  1.

  In IBM Cognos Administration, click the Multitenancy tab.

  2.

  Choose the applicable action:

  3.

  To create the user profile for one or more tenants, select the tenant check boxes, and click the Edit default user profile icon Edit default user profile icon in the toolbar. If required, make changes on the different tabs.

  4.

  To change an existing user profile for one tenant, from the tenant Actions drop-down menu, click Edit tenant user profile, and make the required changes on the different tabs.

• Question 46:

  An administrator is managing authentication namespaces and needs to delete a namespace. Which statement is true?

  A. To recreate a namespace that was previously deleted in IBM Cognos Configuration, a unique ID must be used.
  B. After a namespace has been deleted in IBM Cognos Configuration, it no longer appears in the directory tool.
  C. An inactive namespace in the directory tool is one that was configured, but later deleted in IBM Cognos Configuration.
  D. If a namespace is deleted in IBM Cognos Configuration and is no longer required, any authenticated member of the namespace can delete in permanently in the directory tool.
  D. If a namespace is deleted in IBM Cognos Configuration and is no longer required, any authenticated member of the namespace can delete in permanently in the directory tool.

  ---

  When you delete a namespace, you can no longer log on to the namespace. Security data for the namespace remains in Content Manager until you permanently delete it in the portal.

• Question 48:

  An administrator is implementing security by modifying access to the secured functions and secured features. Which statement is true?

  A. A hyperlink on the Capabilities page represents a secures function that contains secured features.
  B. Granting execute permission on a secured function automatically grants execute permission to all secured features.
  C. As part of the initial security implementation, an administrator must grant access to secured functions and features to the predefined roles.
  D. To view a list of the second functions and features available to them, a user must contact their administrator because only the administrator can perform this function.
  B. Granting execute permission on a secured function automatically grants execute permission to all secured features.

  ---

  You set access to the secured functions and features by granting execute permissions for them to specified namespaces, users, groups, or roles. Incorrect Answers:

  C: When a content store is initialized, the initial permissions for the secured functions and features are created. The permissions define which of the predefined and built-in Cognos groups and roles have access to which secured functions and features, and the type of access. The initial permissions grant unrestricted access to IBM Cognos software because the built-in role System Administrators includes the group Everyone in its membership.

  In the Cognos Analytics user interface, authentication providers are represented by namespaces. Cognos Analytics supports the following types of authentication providers: Active Directory Custom Java Provider IBM Cognos Series 7 LDAP OpenID Connect SAP SiteMinder

  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.
