Cognos dpr-err-2079 firewall security rejection

Question

I am using Cognos 10.2.1. This is working fine with the following Cognos firewall settings. Enable CAF Validation: True. Is third party XSS checking enabled? False.

When I change Is third party XSS checking enabled? to True I get the following error: dpr-err-2079 firewall security rejection. your request was rejected by the security firewall

If I reset back to false the problem goes away. We are connection to the reports via the Gateway URI: https://xxxxx.xxxxx.com:443/cognos10/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi

Any thoughts please.

Do you actually have a third party XSS tool? With that set to False, Cognos does it's own XSS checking. Clicky! — Andrew
Why do you need to enable the firrwall? In all my installation I am turning off the Cognos internal firewall off. — Ran Avnon

Problem solved. We re-installed Cognos and set the Firewall as required and this time it worked.
