Cognos - Sign-In Linked to 3rd party application, or automated to LDAP

[hauge9]

We currently have a 3rd party application that users login to run reports. We are considering rebuilding these as Cognos reports, but would still like the users to be able to run them from the other application, without having to log in again.

Anyone know of a way to link the login information between another application and Cognos?

Or...

We are currently using Active Directory for our Cognos login. Users must also login to Active Directory when logging in to their PC. Any way to send the PC login information to Cognos so they don't have to login to Active Directory again?

Any thoughts of info would be helpful. Thanks.
