I have setup an LDAP server on cognos BI and am trying to setup something in Java to connect to it using name/pass. I did see there are some java codes like logon BUT my 10.x install cognos analytics doesnt have the SDK or the java directories so I have no idea how to get them working.
Can i do the same thing via a TM1 rest call?
You should be able to use parameterized URLs as noted here: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEP7J_11.0.0/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.ca_dg_sdk.doc/c_performing_tasks_using_urls.html#Performing_Tasks_Using_URLs
I think sign in was not introduced until 11.0.6+ https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEP7J_11.0.0/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.wig_cr.doc/c_wig_cr_create_custom_url.html
