- Notebooks: Self-signed certificates are not supported for notebooks. The SSL certificate that is imported into the Cognos Analytics server must be signed by a trusted root authority. To confirm that the certificate is signed by a trusted root authority, enter the Cognos Analytics URL into a browser and verify that there is a padlock to the left of the URL. If the certificate is self-signed, the Cognos Analytics server administrator must replace it with a trusted TLS certificate.
