Title: Pass authentication parameters
Post by: stancho on 15 Mar 2011 03:32:24 AM
Hi guys,

how can I automatically pass authentication parameters to cognos url from another html form?
(without using SDK).

Thanks,
Stancho

Basically, add CAMNamespace=value&CAMUsername=value&CAMPassword=value (case sensitive) to your URL.
Not a very secure approach, as the password is required, and it will be in clear-text on the URL.  But if you must, it will work.
