I'm trying to create a new user in Cognos BI 10.1.2.
After a bit of research I've discovered that a new user must actually be created in an "authentication source" such as for example: IBM Cognos Series 7 namespace, Active Directory Server, Custom Authentication Provider, LDAP, CA SiteMinder, RACF, SAP.
So my question is, how do I setup this "authentication source" and then get the users that I create in that authentication source to shown up in the Cognos Connection web portal?

I'm trying to query 365 SharePoint list data from MS Graph.
I've setup the app via portal.azure.com and I gave it application permissions to everything that is required for User, Mail, Sites and Groups. I gave it permissions on the MS Graph and SharePoint sections within the permissions.
I can query for Users and their calendar information but when it comes to Sites I get the following.

We have the Azure AD Premium P1 subscription for Education.
I tried using the same tenant ID, Client ID and secret in Postman and I get similar results.
I tried to query for the same data via myself logged into Graph Explorer and I get the data I'm expecting.
How can I query for the data from SharePoint via the app credentials for all sites and all data in my tenant
Thank you.

We have an OLAP project which uses Sharepoint 2013 Excel Services to show excel files that contains external data from SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube.
Our Authentication method to login users is FBA (Forms Based Authentication)
Our Goal is to show only subset of data from SSAS cube for each user based on their role which has already been defined in SSAS side.
Because of using form based authentication, roles don’t apply on excel files from ssas, Any Idea?
We faced this problem and I recall we fixed using Kerberos delegation. We needed the actual user to be passed to SSAS in order to row filter that user. It wasn't simple though. Follow this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/us-en/library/dn194199(v=sql.120).aspx
Good luck.
Finally we use Customized windows authentication form to handle this topic
is there a way to create a access web app and use as database an azure sql database. and use it as the main application database or a secondary one.
Either is it possible to create a database that is shared over more than one sharepoint app.
Last but not least is there a way to catch the visitors microsoft mail and use it in a macro to change the views depending on the accesslevel we want him to have on our app.So we can create for example user based profile, either with that way or with creating a user login and registration form.
Thanks in advance.

When you design and modify in Access 2013 or later, the data and database objects are stored in SQL Server or Microsoft Azure SQL Database, so you can share the data within your organization using on-premises SharePoint 2013 or Office 365 for business.

You could use the Access Custom Web App Function to get the email address , it could be used in user interface (UI) macros .

Our customer wants to use their existing active directory to authenticate users on a new WSS 3.0 server. The company is using several domains.
I have read this thread sharepoint-wss-authentication-across-multiple-domains but it does not give me the information on how to set up the sync-connection. Ive seen on meny places that AD sync is only available in MOSS 2007, but is this true?
For authentication, you won't have a problem as long as the domains are all trusted - basically if the windows server will accept a login from that domain, sharepoint will work with it also.
For profile information, the out of box import goes into mysites, which is a MOSS only feature. However, there is no reason you can't write your own code to pull data from AD to WSS user profiles.
