Question & Answer
Question
How do you provide more information about Cognos Application Firewall using error messages such as the following:
DPR-ERR-2082 An error has occurred. Please contact your administrator. The complete error has been logged by CAF with SecureErrorID.
Answer
This error message is not directly associated with a CAF error but rather a default error message which is shown instead of the real error for security reasons.
The Capabilities tool controls access to Cognos secured functions. In order to see the full error instead of the CAF error you must give the user permission to the “Detail Errors” capability. Steps to do so are as follows:
1. Navigate to Cognos Administration by clicking on Manage followed by Administration console.
2. Under the Security tab, click on Capabilities and select the arrow to the right of Detailed Errors.
3. Click Set properties and select the Permissions tab.
4. Grant the user, group or role Execute permission for Detailed Errors if you want them to see the full error instead of the CAF error.
