I need to login to our cognos 11.0.9 application by single sign-on from another application. When the mother application will be closed or logged out, the Cognos application should also be logged out automatically.
Is there any feature in cognos that can check any outer session on every operation, so that if the session is killed Cognos application also gets logged off.

As far as I know, the answer is NO. Once you are into Cognos using SSO, you are just in Cognos and after that there is no reference to what is happening in the mother application. Cognos is a rowdy child who doesn't listen to the mother.

I did the SSO using Azure and AD as the IDP and in both cases it simply opens the Cognos page by passing on the sign-on information (Parent app -> Cognos -> Azure/AD - > back to Cognos with the token). After that the child grows up and doesn't need the parent !
