Cookies/Session For PHP integration [message #242840]

I'm working on a PHP application that uses BIRT for it's reporting
features. The problem is making sure that the reports only run for user
who authenticated in the PHP application. I had looking at passing
parameters in the URL that loads the report but I'm wondering if there
is a way to work with cookies as an alternative.

*Can I load cookies or read session data create by my application?
*Better yet, how do I read this information in BIRT?

My research leads me to believe that I create a script in the
beforeFactory or initialize events. How to feed cookie/session values
into parameters?

//This appears to be a start now for specific cookies
var request = reportContext.getHttpServletRequest();

Jim,

Did you get any where with this? I'm trying to do something very
similar to you, i.e. I have a PHP application which uses BIRT for
reporting and need to ensure reports only run for authenticated users.
