Question

After opening any of the Reporting components, you find that only the OneStop Authentication is available and Windows Authentication is not in the dropdown menu.

Answer

Overview:
When opening any of the Reporting components, the BI360 application requires you to either login with onestop authentication or windows authentication.

Cause:
Cause is yet to be determined.

Solution/Workaround:
The reg key <Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OneStop Reporting\Settings\AuthenticationMode> must be changed from “Default, System” to “Default, WindowsAndSystem”. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Open the Start Menu and type in RegEdit in the search box.
2. In the Registry Editor, expand Computer -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> OneStop Reporting -> Settings.
3. After selecting the Settings folder, you will see a reg key called AuthenticationMode
4. Double-click on the key to edit the data. Change the Value Data to Default, WindowsAndSystem

If you reopen Designer or Composer, you will be able to select Windows Authentication as a mode of authentication.
