SCC should secure Cognos using the same certificates as the SCC application by default

The integrated Cognos instance in SCC should be secured using the same certificate stores as the SCC application itself. I should not use a CAMUSER certificate signed by CA as the default when SCC has been secured using private certificates. This creates a mismatch between the components and in the case where the customer operating environment is locked down, the certificates cannot be installed to the browser and all customization interfaces in Cognos will fail to launch when the Cognos is secured.

    Starting Control Center 6.2, we are have replaced Cognos as our default reporting engine, with native reporting engine, this idea appears to be not necessary.

    Entirely agree, ICC HTTPS support is almost entirely unusable due to this issue. Self-signed certificates cannot be accepted by even mildly locked down modern browsers. I've raised this as a case previously.
