I have an HTML page that captures a user entered password in the variable &IBIC_user. This works fine however if the user refreshes their browser session and types in another password the &IBIC_user variable is keeping the first password. Is there a way for the HTML page to clear out the old password. My browser is IE 6.0.2800.1106, WF v5.33, Windows 2000 server.

The HTML page captures the value entered into &IBIC_user. I referred to the value as a password it can be called a user id. The value entered in &IBIC_user is compared to values stored in a database via a fex to determine what the user is allowed to run.

What I would do is someting like this. Create a Session Variable & instead of calling it IBIC_user let scall the variable something like UID. With that said I would then edit my site.wfs file and create a session variable like this
#Check to see if the
variable exist that is coming in
from a html page some where.
# Store the variable in a session
any name will do but lets call it _SessionVar_UID
httpsession=_SessionVar_UID
<call> CopyWFVarToSessionVar(
UID,httpsession)
<endif><br />#
# lets retrieve the variable out f
rom the session<br />wfvar=UID<br />httpsession=_SessionVar_UID
<call> CopySessionVarToWFVar
(httpsession,wfvar)
# Finally Let pass the variable bact to the WebFOCUS Reporting Server where
it can use it.<SET>UID(pass)
# If you realy need to call
it IBIC_user you could add this lineIBIC_user=&UID
And if you want pass it bact to the
reporting server<br /><SET>IBIC_user(pass)
Hope this HelpsThis message has been edited. Last edited by: <Mabel>,
the same thing is happening with the variable uid. if i do a refresh of the browser and enter a new value the first value entered in uid is what is displaying. some how the first value entered in uid is being cached and when a new value is entered in uid it is not overlaying the previous value.

When you say "refresh browser session" do you mean closing down your browser and opening it up again, or just using the same browser window and loggin in a second time? I ask because if you do not completely close down your browser, it might continue to maintain the cookie from you initial login session.
You could force a cookie cleanup by calling the WF_SIGNOFF (might want to check up on the exact param name to use) action. This would prevent unwanted session persistence.
