I think the main thing you need to do is to check the Integrated Windows Authentication option in IIS. There may be other things you need to do as well. Check out the following as a starter:

basically, it's enabling integrated signon on your IIS and disabling anonymous access, and enabling the SSO functionality in Cognos Configuration. Just follow this document (second scenario):https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21341889. (The document posted by jayanthhyd is for Kerberos)
