Cognos portlet use with other portals

You can deploy Cognos® portlets to your existing enterprise portal so that you can present the Cognos content in your portal instead of IBM® Cognos Connection.

You can deploy the Cognos portlets to the following portals:

By default, the root name of file paths in the portlets is Cognos. You can change the root name.

As an additional security measure, you can disable the mechanism to transfer the IBM Cognos passport ID as a URL parameter between users' browsers and the IBM Cognos gateway.

After you deploy the portlets, you can enable single signon between the portlets and your portal.
