An operational support system includes a network interface and a report unit.
The network interface receives an identifier and password from a user, determines
whether to grant access to the operational support system based on the identifier
and password, and transmits, when access is granted, the identifier and password
to the report unit. The report unit automatically compares the identifier and password
to stored identifiers and passwords and grants access to the report unit when the
identifier and password correspond to one of the stored identifiers and passwords.
