"Invalid Login Response" error after installing Cognos AnalyticsSymptoms
This document provides steps to resolve "Invalid Login Response" error after installation of Cognos Analytics while accessing any reports via the URL.Cause
This error is shown as a result of using "Easy Install" method and not choosing the "Optional Gateway" during installation.Resolution
To resolve this issue, uninstall Cognos first, then re-install it. When following the instructions for installing Analytics in the "Installing FNMS 2017 R3 on Premises.pdf" document on page #58, the required Cognos Gateway is not installed.On the "Install type" dialog, instead of the "Easy install" radio button, please select "Custom install".

<property name="ContentStoreDatabaseLocation" value="abcdefgh"/> <!--Required-->
<!-- ContentStore database name. This database must already exist. -->
<property name="ContentStoreDatabaseName" value="ContentStore"/> <!--Required-->

The ContentStoreDatabaseLocation value should be "hostname:port" or "hostname\instancename" whereas the configured value only shows the hostname "abcdefgh".
