Username not getting displayed in TM1 Web when using CAM - cognos

We have developed a TM1 application which is accessible through tm1 web, and using Cognos Integrated securty,
If we login to Cognos environment first and then to tm1, then it gets the username on tm1 web screen, next to the label Welcome: Juneja, Ruchika (like this)
Otherwise if we login to TM1 directly, it just shows an empty Welcome:
Has anyone faced the similar issue before.
Any help to resolve this issue is welcome.
Thanks!

Check }ClientGroups cube. if the cube doesn't provide enough details check }client dimension's attributes. There is a way to match CAMID with the username.

How to track last login date for IBM Domino web user?

Does IBM Domino track the last login date for web users(UserName/Password and internet certificate)? I know the access logs contains this information but wanted to know if there may be something built into Domino (maybe in Address Book). Trying to come up with a method to disable web accounts that have not accessed a domino server in a specified time period.
Thanks,
Kev
The User Activity area in the Database Properties picks up from the log.nsf, which is where this information is stored. But, typically, the log.nsf will only have a few days' worth of information. When I've had this requirement before, I've manually captured it via a custom login page or an initUser function I've had in applications.
One of the easiest solutions is to trigger an action from a live web page that generates a database.nsf?openagent event.
like:
or
Ideally you've use the openagent to print a content type and a response, but if you don't browsers do pretty well with invalid responses from servers.
inside your "myagent" you will have the users name available to you to write it to a document.
Your next challenge will be in getting the agent to trigger, but, not too often, ideally only on login.
When a user uses a custom login form it submits the username/password and redirection url in POST method. You could change that to ...?openagent&nexturl=/blablabla.nsf
Your tiny little agent would run one and only one time upon login and update a document in a your custom logging database.
That's a developer's solution.
There are also admin solutions. The server does keep track of active web sessions, but, it does not drop them into the log.nsf like it does upon session ending for a notes session. I don't think it would be too much work from an admin standpoint to get that information there are a lot of event triggers available to you. It's just been way too long since I worked on any server that anyone cared about statistics.

MSOLAP Connection String : Is is possible to access Cube as a particular user

When Browsing an MS OLAP cube in SQL Server Management Studio I'm able to click on the change user button to change the user that I view the cube as. This let me test security access to various parts of the data.
I was wondering if it's possible to do this in the connection string also? As far as I understand it I can change the Roles property in the connection string, but as the data is locked from particular person's perspective this doesn't help. Also the cube uses windows security so a specific user and password combo aren't going to help either.
Yes, through the following property in your connection string:
EffectiveUserName=DOMAIN\UserName
This will only work if you're an SSAS administrator.
in your ConnectionString you can use CustomData="Username" and After that you can used it like UserName() Function.
PLEASE See this link for more information about CustomData()

custom reports rsProcessingaborted error

I have deployed CRM and installed the reporting extensions component successfully on the SSRS server with rollup2 (server and router match this) - I have separate servers for CRM , SQL and SSRS. The out the box reports work ok but the custom reports present an error "rsProcessingAborted" which to me sounds like permissions. I have read a number of articles relating to pepople with the same issue and have tried all possible fixes but still no joy.
SSRS runs under a svc_sqlserver acccount and this account has permissions in the DB
the datasources have all been created successfully and the custom reports are using the MSCRM_FetchDataSource which is configured with type Dynamics CRM Fetch and credentials supplied by the user running the report. The connection string says CustomerServicesCE which is the correct OrgsanisationID (as found within developer resources) - i have tried clearing this connection string, adding the server url, all possible combinations with no joy.
Within SSRS i cannot view the report, it says "cannot access the CRM datasource" - i read somewhere you need to enter the GUIDs systemuserid and organisationid as username and pwd but still no joy.
I tried amending one report to use the samedatasource as the out the box reports that work but still no joy which is the MSCRM_DataSource...................am i missing something?
These reports have come from another supplier - i don't mind how they are displayed (Fetch or otherwise) i just need them working!
interestingly i do get them working on my Development environment (after getting the same error) and to my eyes the setup looks identical!
thanks for any help

the answer was to create an spn as
setspn -a http/crmservername domain\accountCRMrunsunderrIIS

Sharepoint problem: switching user correctly but internaly maintains "old" user

I'm facing an extrange behavior in my Sharepoint 2077 farm:
We have configured windows integrated authentication with NTLM, and all clients authenticates correctly to the portal.
When they proceeds to "login as" diferent user, it seems to be all fine (appears user name in top of page) , but internally the page user is the old user. I know this because I have a customized web page that reads page user name and print it to the page.
after some refresh or waiting some time, the current user is applied "internally" too.
Do you know is there is any configuration option for avoid this delay?
Many thanks in advance,
any help would be appreciated.

Cannot login to WSS 3.0 site using forms authentication

A changed Windows authentication to Forms authentication. Using the following example.
I added a user with Web Site Administration Tool. Finally I added this user as Site Collection Administrators and the user is recognized by SharePoint. Happy with that is started my WSS site in the browser but when I try to Sign in using this sign in form it is not working. Returns to this form after the submit (//spvm:100/_layouts/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f_layouts%2fAuthenticate.aspx%3fSource%3d%252f&Source=%2f)
I have been scanning my Eventviewer but no succes for any comment what tells me what I am doing wrong. Maybe some of you guys can help me out?
Once you are redirected to this page, try navigating to http://spvm:100. Sometime I get this kind of case where I move make to the root, then it works. I really didnt know the reason why sometime it behaves like that.
I had the same issue. I found that something was wrong with my browser's settings. I tried to log in with another browser (Firefox) and that worked for me.
I don't know yet what was wrong with my IE7's settings, on another machine I could log in to a forms auth site without any problem.
