Product:
Planning Analytics 2.0.9
Microsoft Windows 2019 server
Issue:
After adding support for HTTPS(SSL) to TM1WEB, the url does not work. You get loged in to CA11, but then you get a error like this:
The TM1Web service parameter was not specified or is not one of the configured locations
If you check the URL (copy it to notepad) you see that the TM1WEB server still are using the old port you had before HTTPS was implemented.
The TM1WEB.HTML file contain the correct value, with the new port for SSL communication, on the Cognos Analytics server.
Check folder c:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\analytics\webcontent\bi\tm1\web.
c:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\tm1web\wlp\usr\servers\tm1web\SERVER.XML have also a correct row for the new port;
<httpEndpoint id="defaultHttpEndpoint" httpPort="-1" httpsPort="9510" host="*" removeServerHeader="true" >
Solution:
tm1web_config.xml in folder c:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\tm1web\webapps\tm1web\WEB-INF\configuration, has the old server value hard-coded to this line ExternalUrl, it should be empty “”.
<add key="X-Frame-Options" value="2" /> <!-- When performing CAM authentication, optional redirection url override example http://127.0.0.1:9510/tm1web --> <add key="ExternalUrl" value="" /> <!-- LogoutUrl to be executed after logout normally completes--> <add key="CustomCAMLogoutUrl" value="" />
Update the file and save it.
More information:
TM1WEB picks up your URL, and sends it to CA11 for login, then CA11 will check if the URL you come from matches the URL listed in the file TM1WEB.HTML, if it is not listed, then you get this error.
