Using ticket server for an non-cognos application

[djlocke]

Hi!

I have an existing cognos application with Upfront, PPES and IWR. Additionally I developed some JSPs for administrative tasks (status of DB tables, materialized views etc.). The problem is that these JSPs are stored on another server without any authentication mechanisms. So if a user finds out the URL for these JSPs he/she can access them without authentification.

My idea is to use Cognos ticket server to check for authentication from the JSP side. Does anyone know how to connect to the ticket server, how to check for the cookie or any other way to check authentifiation?

Thanks in advance.
