As I understand Rommie want to use user's PC session credentials to 
login in RT.
Noway to do it. There is no standart on tracking sessions through HTTP 
in the world. RT uses cookies, other system uses basic auth, query 
string, ip and so, so... becouse of it IE and other browser couldn't 
provide any interface for other parts of system that allow force auto 
login in RT.

workaround:
you could change cookies behavior, namely, set them expiration period 
(security caveats here).
