It probably means that either
a) You do not have a signon defined for the database connection in use in the package, or
b) You do not have security privileges to use the existing signon configured for the database connection in use in the package.

If you have Content Administration privileges, you can go to Tools/Directory in Cognos Connection and modify the relevant data source connection to use a signon you have access to.  If not, this is something you need to get your administrator to do for you.

Best regards,

MF.
