Hi,

I would like to know a way where we can ENCRYPT the password field with **** in InfoAssist+.

Scenario: I have created a Reporting Object off of which I have created Auto Prompt Reports. When I run the report I enter the User ID and Password. I want the Password to be masked and appear as ASTERISK while entering instead of showing the actual password.

Any suggestion in this regards will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

This is something very easy using HTML Composer since you just need to use the "Mask text" property of the Edit Box control.

But with IA+ and a RO with auto-prompting, I'm not sure if that could be possible.

But isn't the user already logged in when they access the reporting object? You can use security center to make this object visible to certain users only.

Yes FRANS, user is already logged in. But, these reports will be accessed by a group of users and not individuals therefore, they will be using user id & password to access the reports (Generic credentials for the DB). Just to maintain the security we wanted a mechanism to mask the password field.

quote:

these reports will be accessed by a group of users

This is a PERFECT candidate for WF Security Center Group policy.
No need to have a password protection on top of a already authenticated id/password.

Create a Group in Security Center and add the specific users to it.
Then have your "special" report rule "List and Run" set only to the above group.
