How to pass logon information to cognos from other application/webpage

[harie]

Hi All,

We are in Cognos Analytics 11.1.1 and have embedded our cognos dashboard to one application (which contains a webpage there are multiple tabs and one tab opens cognos dashboard) using the iframe. We are facing a challenge that we need to pass the credentials from the application login to cognos. We are using same AD for both the app and the Cognos. So anyone please suggest how can we achieve this.

Currently we are passing the credentials in the url like parameterized url so that it works for all users. But we need to restrict the access for those users of the application who only have cognos access

Thanks in advance.
