Hi

I think for anonymous authentication you don't need to call any authentication/logon method at all.

IBM has lot of documentation related to this. I am sure you can find many examples when you google it.

Thanks

You could run a random query against the Cognos environment using the Content Manager service and if it succeeds you can conclude that anonymous authentication enabled, otherwise you will have to to a logon using credentials.
