SSO activated and need to go to login page

Hi Masters,

In the previous Cognos BI versions, I could easily reach the login page when SSO was activated by using a CAMUsername call like the following:

https://myServer/myAlias/cgi-bin/cognosisapi.dll?CAMUsername=<myUserToLogin>

but in the new CA11.1.1 I can't.

I've already done all the ConfigSetter stuff as described in the following technotes but I still can't do make appear the login page:

https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg22009180
https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg22000855

I know that using an entire URL like the following works but it exposes password in plain text:

https://myCA11_1_1Server/myAlias/bi/v1/disp?CAM_action=logonAs&CAMNamespace=MyNameSpace&CAMUsername=MyUser&CAMPassword=MyUserPassword&m_redirect=/ibmcognos/bi/?

I know that executing the browser as a different user could help (Shift + Rigth Click -> Run as different  user) but Internal Security Policies block me.

I also know that configuring an additional Namespace can help to manage this but I was looking for something easier.

Thank you for your help

Gr
