@kent-au Its a simple and straight forward document which will help us like anything for easy integration of Okta with FNMS.
it will be great we can have such detailed configuration article or documentation about Ibm cognos configuration with Okta

@emtmeta - The authentication to Cognos is built into FlexNet Manager as part of the installation. Authentication to Cognos is directly from FlexNet Manager. In other words, you cannot log directly into Cognos outside of FlexNet. Therefore, integration with OKTA is not needed for Cognos.
You must first log into FlexNet Manager using OKTA, and once you are logged into Cognos, your security roles within FlexNet Manager indicate if you can connect/log into Cognos.
@kclausen , thanks a lot for your feedback .
Just to clarify , i can see there is some configuration for Cognos SSO is mentioned in the System reference document , Pleases refer the point number 6 in the following page.
i'm confused in choosing the actual approach as i'm getting an erroe when following the above method.

@emtmeta - Thank you for the update and happy to hear that you got the SSO working for Cognos Analytics.
I am trying to find out if this is supported for on-Prem SPE multi-tenant versions of FNMS.
I noticed there is a section for Configuring SAML in WebUI (Partner) and this mentions that it is about configuring SSO for Partner Multi-tenant systems in the following link:
I have raised a call to Flexera Support, but they are still telling me it is not supported for Multi-tenant environments.
