Problem:
How setup Cognos Controller Web with SSO?

Solution:
Ensure that SSO is working from your Cognos Controller client first, when you login.

Stop the Controller web services

Start NOTEPAD in ADMINISTRATOR mode, and open up the file C:\Program Files\IBM\cognos\ccr_64\fcmweb\wlp\etc\server.env

Change the JAVA HOME line to
JAVA_HOME=C:/Program Files/IBM/cognos/ccr_64/fcmweb/jre
Save the file.
Start a CMD prompt as ADMINISTRATOR, go to the folder C:\Program Files\IBM\cognos\ccr_64\fcmweb and enter below command:
SyncDBConf.bat     ..\Data     wlp\usr\shared\config\datasources

The number of database updated depend on the number of database you have setup in Cognos Controller
From notepad open file C:\Program Files\IBM\cognos\ccr_64\fcmweb\wlp\usr\servers\fcm.web\com.ibm.cognos.fcm.web.properties

Change the lines to like this;
ccrwsUrl=http://win-ca.company.com/ibmcognos/controllerserver/ccrws.asmx
biUrl=http://win-ca.company.com/ibmcognos/bi/v1/disp
biDispatchEndpoint=http://win-ca.company.com:9300/p2pd/servlet/dispatch
loginMode=CAM

change win-ca to your controller/cognos analytics server.
Save the file.
Change the memory used by controller web by open from notepad file C:\Program Files\IBM\cognos\ccr_64\fcmweb\wlp\etc\jvm.options
You must test different values to find the best – maybe start with -Xmx12g
# Java Heap size.
# In production, setting min and max to same value can provide the best performance by avoiding heap expansion and contraction.
# But high min value increases startup time, which may be undesired in a dev environment.
-Xms2g
-Xmx4g


Save the file.
Start the Windows service IBM Cognos Controller Web

Open a new document in notepad – and paste in below text

<CRNenv c_cmd=”http://win-ca.company.com:9080/#!/CamLogin”>

<cookies>

<param name=”cam_passport”/>

</cookies>

</CRNenv>

save the file to C:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\analytics\templates\ps\portal\variables_CCRWeb.xml on your Cognos Analytics server.

On your Controller server open in NOTEPAD this file C:\Program Files\IBM\cognos\ccr_64\frontend\config.js

Change the hostname and publicInterface to your controller servers FQDN name e.g. win-ca.company.com
Save the file.
Start the Windows service IBM Cognos Controller Web UI
