Hi,

No, there is no built-in authentication provider in Cognos 10.2. You can use an open source LDAP such as ApacheDS or OpenLDAP if you like, though - you just need to download and install them yourself.

Cheers!

Can you explain what "we have moved to cloud" actually means? Have you moved to IBM's Cognos Analytics Software-as-a-Service offering? Have you implemented a cloud server and you are installing your own instance of Cognos in it? Something else?
