I have a link from our portal to a group dashboard. The link is http://servername/ibi_apps/bid/ap_gbv

When the users click on this page they see a login for the group. Is there any way to pass the windows authentification which they have already used to get onto the portal?

We already have our security set up so it uses our Windows Authentication, I just need to know how to pass that info through the URL.

Thanks

Ginny,

If you have IWA configured for WF, you should be using http://server/ibi_apps/bid-login?

Thanks,
Sayed

Your above link takes me a my login page for my default dashboard. It still requests that I log in.

I am wanting to go to a specific group dashboard (listed above) and I am wanting to some how capture the userid and password from the Windows system and pass that so the user does not see the login page.

Ginny,

This is what we do.

On our WebServer (Win2003 using IIS), IWA is on and anonymous is off.

In the site.wfs file we added:
WF_REMOTE_USER=&WF_REMOTE_USER
REMOTE_USER=&REMOTE_USER

<SET> WF_REMOTE_USER (PASS)
<SET> REMOTE_USER (PASS)

<ifndef> RUSER
RUSER=&WF_REMOTE_USER
<ENDIF>
<SET> RUSER (PASS)


Then on the Reporting Server, &RUSER has the userid of the person running the program.

Hope this helps. If you contact IBI, have them look at my case from back in 2005. Case # 10132035.

Ginny,

I'm sorry, that did not address what you were asking but we do use a group dashboard and no one is asked for login credintials. It has been so long ago, I'll take a look and see why.

Is your prompt a Windows (server) prompt or a Dashboard prompt?

Access to our server is controlled via a Active Directory group. If one is not in the group, they are prompted for their network userid/password, but because they are not in the group, they will never gain access.

However, our dashboard is not a Group board, but a Public board. That could be why no one is prompted for a MRE userid/password.

Generally its ldap authentication.
If you have single sign on configured in your workplace, and if your use it, you can avoid that login screen..

here's how we do it.
our portal inserts your userid into the url when the portal paints your home screen
(we use somehting called bluenog )
 h t t p://server.nyumc.org:8888/ibi_apps/bid?WORP_REQUEST_TYPE=WORP_GBV_VERIFY&WORP_USER=joness16&WORP_MPV=ap_gbv
