Cognos SSO stopped working after upgrading to Cognos Analytics 12

When upgrading to IBM Cognos Analytics 12, they are using a new version of Java which means that you need to use an updated jar file for that version. 

Here are the steps to resolve the issue:

  1. In Services, stop Digital Hive - node1
  2. On the IBM Cognos Analytics server, open Cognos Configuration and stop Cognos Content Manager
  3. Close Cognos Configuration
  4. On the IBM Cognos Analytics server, put this jar file: https://releases.digitalhive.com/updates/adfcore-encryption-2.1.fl2-072f6e7f4.jar
    in Cognos\webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF\AAA\lib
  5. Move adfcore-encryption-1.0.jar to somewhere outside of the Cognos install
  6. Open Cognos Configuration, test and start the Cognos Content Manager
  7. In Services, start Digital Hive - node1
