Single Sign On using SAML2 for Cognos

SAML2 is becoming an industry standard and many vendors are moving to supporting it. Using SAML2 will provide Cognos with another method for external authentication.

SAML2 is an XML-based framework for communicating user authentication, entitlement, and attribute information. As its name suggests, SAML2 allows business entities to make assertions regarding the identity, attributes, and entitlements of a subject (an entity that is often a human user) to other entities, such as a partner company or another enterprise application. SAML2 is a flexible and extensible protocol designed to be used and customized if necessary by other standards.

For the SAML2 protocol specification, see http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/13525/sstc-saml-exec-overview-2.0-cd-01-2col.pdf

There are many organizations using SAML2 for single-sign on capabilities. Higher Education has standardized on Shibboleth Identity Provider (https://shibboleth.net/). IBM is already a member of InCommon (https://www.incommon.org/) so integration of Cognos with SAML2 for authentication would allow IBM to make use of the InCommon membership.
